Call your carrier to blacklist the IMEI. Done.
It has always worked this way, well before the smartphone era.
The only way to overcome is to find a country the phone works with and has carriers not part of the blacklisting networks. Doesn’t make for a very practical resale market…
So, now that’s out of the way, what control is Google actually trying to sneak in then?
It makes getting home feel all the more pleasant!
Yeah, I’m referring to them, not the image maker.
Light debugging I actually use an LLM for. Yes, I know, I know. But when you know it’s a syntax issue or something simple, but a quick skim through produces no results; AI be like, “Used a single quote instead of double quote on line 154, so it’s indirectly using a string instead of calling a value. Also, there’s a typo in the source name on line 93 because you spelled it like this everywhere else.”
By design, LLMs do be good for syntax, whether a natural language or a digital one.
Nothing worse than going through line by line, only to catch the obvious mistake on the third “Am I losing my sanity?!” run through.
I wonder how many people stop to consider the validity of the statement anyway. Like, “Source?”
I’ve had this camping with things like wild dogs and crocodiles around. It’s really difficult to get a judge of distance.
I don’t even know if I pronounce it right. Is it like libré or is it more like a lobster-tiger hybrid? Or a Lemur-cobra.hybtid?
Also, if they’re watching, the themes still make the UI all funky unless it’s on the default—at least for Calc, anyway.
If they unloaded the goods to another truck really fucking fast, maybe. Otherwise they’re just being recorded on top of a giant GPS beacon that’s alerting a system that something abnormal is happening so rally nearby law enforcement. It’d way easier to hold up a bookies, with a shotgun, Saul.
Yep. And query languages being some of the quickest and fastest things an analyst can do with 100% knowledge of the data and any wrangling/conditions that need to be done to assure accurate results.
A bot would never be able to accurately answer these questions off my data unless I thoroughly trained and tested it. But if it’s GPT-based, I’d always have to double-check so it’d just be a hinderence in workflow. There is no way money would be paid to a third-party for such a situation.
I supported my local instead. 50 mins of lining up to the booths, I wasn’t gonna line up any longer for a snag made by child labour, so got a delicious sausage roll from the bakery instead.
Gawd, me too. They’ve started scraping my LinkedIn recommenders to try bait me in.
For context, I work at a university. The subject was something like “xxxxxx recommends you for a company like us” implying my contact had actually been behind it, but obviously they didn’t.
Hi saltesc,
Saw on LinkedIn that xxxxxx highlighted your industry expertise and dedication to client success—sounds like you’re pivotal in driving both xxxxxx and solid outcomes for your clients!
By the way, any chance you’d be interested in using AI to get total visibility of all your data?
Our AI data analytics solution specializes in helping companies in the higher education industry do exactly that.
With Knowi, you can effortlessly get answers to questions like:
What is the percentage increase in graduate employment rates from diverse student demographics over the past three years, including international learners?
How many new educational offerings have been developed annually at xxxxxx to enhance skills development within the community, including international students?
It’s like ChatGPT, but for your data!
Open to learning more?
All the best, xxxxxx xxxxxx Business Growth
And obviously it reads like it was written by one of the GPTs.
Had they seen our profiles, they’d actually know what it is we do and how ridiculous recommending a chat AI is. That’s sooooo beneath our knowledge and expertise. Like a random suggesting Ivermectin to Dr Faucci.
I can’t really imagine people wanting to hijack a truck that’s basically a giant camera and tracking system.
Aw, manggg. But I just upgraded to Linux last week. Shoot…
Back to being treated like an idiot, force fed bloat, having no control over my own PC, and taking four steps to get everything done but often ending up down a rabbit hole of 19 step troubleshooting just to say, “Fuck it! Fine! I’ll accept the new feature” then being toured on the new feature after it crashes first then won’t let you login, but finally you do and THEN you’ve got your file open but forget what for by then, all the while it’s notifying you of updates constantly but you won’t run them because you noticed it contains the AMD driver which is the old one so Adrenaline will stop working but that also means Windows has somehow undone the group policy fucking around you had to do. And they say Linux is hard while Windows thinks I’m the fucking idiot and I CANT EVEN SHRINK THE FUCKING PARTITION BECAUSE THE GOD DAMNED PAGE FILE IS JIZZED ALL OVER THE FUCKING DRIVE!!! RAAARRRGH!!!

Huh, sorry. I get flashbacks still. The doctors say with the right therapy, I’ll be better in a year.
I’ve swallowed water the wrong way and had coughing fit that cramped my gouche.
I hope it never happens again, but I’m sure instances like that will increase.
No, no. Let’s pat them on the back for drawing a line in the samd—all by their own initiative—and sticking to it. We all know how hard it is to develop a game with offline mode these days. I salute them for sticking to their promise.
I’m glad they’re testing too. It must be so hard to figure out how to overcome IP checks to launch a game and have it run. True heroes of the industry. No doubt we’ll see indie games follow with offline options too.
Seems right to me. Think in centuries and not your lifetime. Your lifetine is more likely to span two centuries, so while the 1950s was just recently, you’ll be in the 2050s.
Oh, I will. I’m getting along in years and am about to pick up split boarding for backcountry. I could learn to just ski, but I’ve lived life surfing and skating, so I picked up snowboarding real fast and been doing that a while now.
Kinda always been into the idea of towing with a snow mobile too, so maybe I can afford that around then haha
Don’t act your age. Get to a point where you’re so dismissive of your age you have to think hard about what your age actually is.
If I stopped and started doing things based on what I’m meant to do at an age, I’d be a miserable piece of shit. I just do and think what I want. When I’m 60, I’ll still be learning and doing what I want because I rejected the idea that I’m too old or too young for something.
Rather than setting sights on what you want to achieve, set sights on what you never want to become. The rest just flows around that and happiness is always there because you’ve identified what unhappiness is and stayed clear of it.
We can, but it’s a lot of effort and time. Good AI requires a lot of patience and specificity.
I’ve sort of accepted the gimmick of LLMs being a bit of a plateau in training. It has always been that we teach AI to learn, but currently the public has been exposed to what they perceive to be magic and that’s “good enough”. Like, being wrong so often due to bad information, bad interpretation of information, and bias within information is acceptable now, apparently. So teaching to learn isn’t a high mainstream priority compared to throwing in mass information instead—it’s far less exciting working on infrastructure.
But here’s the cool thing about AI, it’s pretty fucking easy to learn. If you have patience and creativity to put toward training, you can do what you want. Give it a crack! But always be working on refining it. I’m sure out there right now someone’s been inspired enough to do what you’re talking about and in a few years of tears and insane electricity bills, there’ll be a viable model.
Oh you can know. It’s a viewable page within the menu. I’ll leave it to you to search up on where.
