Don’t want to be a devil’s advocate but can you provide something more than “I’m offended”? Let’s say issue ticket(s), status page links, other people complaining, etc?

Oh no, anyway…

I read an article about Fermi paradox (I cannot find the link) that stated the humans are one of the first intelligent beings in the universe. That’s why we haven’t encountered any green men so far. We just might came too soon to the party.

I was about to suggest the same thing with a small caveat. From what I know, communication between doorbell and base station is unencrypted. I might be wrong, it’s been a while since I read about it, so double check the current status.

Having plain text secrets, or having secrets at all in a repository is always a bad practice. Even if it’s a super-duper private/local/no one will ever see this repo.

It depends on an age group. I would agree that in a group of 20-30 it’s a mess, but 35+ you can find a decent partner (depending on your age of course).

I have a mild speech impairment. I don’t stutter on a daily basis but when I’m under heavy stress or when I’m tired I tend to stutter-ish. On top of that I live in a country where I don’t speak in my native language and sometimes I feel self-conscious about small mistakes I make (like using the wrong word or messing up the grammar) which induces the stress response. It’s not a big deal but it makes me crazy when I can’t express my thoughts in public.

It’s just history repeating itself. We’ve seen dotcom bubble, web 2.0 rush, nft fiasco and now AI. All fueled by VC greed. On top of that in today’s world companies try to get as much data as possible and so called AI is the perfect tool for that.

I will but first answer my question. Why, according to you I might be a little racist, sexists?

Why?

I think you didn’t understand my answer. Let me give you an example. If I say “I like oranges more than apples”, normal people will think “ok, this guy likes oranges more than apples”. But modern, progressive people who care about political correctness will call me applefobic.

People got too sensitive growing in the secure bubbles and when exposed to a real world with a real science, statistics and opinions get offended over nothing.

If the question is open, e.g. “do you like apples?” and the question is in my area of interest, I usually give an answer. But if the question assumes an answer or is deliberately polarizing, e.g. “why don’t you like apples?” I pass.

It’s not about how you talk. It’s about what you talk about.

Political correctness.

C’mon. It’s non toxic glue. Suck it up and follow the directions. /s

If you feel sick talk to your doctor. Internet “knowledge” doesn’t work in case on medical issues. So called tips and tricks may work for a person who posted it but it could be dangerous for you. If calling a stranger (in this case a doctor’s office) invokes anxiety, talk to a therapist.

I would have never expected the EFF to use a lame click-bait headline like this one.

I have not. I will have a read, thanks.

I have a few thoughts on this. And before you downvote me, read to the end and have a genuine reflection.

1. Europe is facing a huge problem with crimes committed by immigrants.
2. Despite of the spin “we need a workforce to fulfill low paying, low profile jobs”, most of the so called “doctors” and “engineers” prefer to use social benefits instead of getting a job.
3. Most of the immigrants prefer to stay in “ghettos” instead of integrating into a society they moved into.

Because of that and many more similar issues, people turn into dangerous, populist ideas. Those far-right movements prey on nations insecurities and gain support by hitting the “sweet spot”. And the worst part is that the central views get boxed as left or right winged which basically undercuts what they are tying to sell.

And just for the record, the Polish PiS party is not far right. It’s a populist, socialist party playing a church card every time it’s convenient.

I was talking about today’s AI - virtual assistants, bots and the good old regular complex algorithms rebranded as AI. The “real AI” will benefit from the buzz. AI/ML was around for few decades now but it lacked media attention. Since LLMs got into mainstream, I think the science will continue to grow but the “public” projects will mostly die when the bubble bursts.
