Depends on mood and temperature.

ATI was bought by AMD in 2006 and the brand name phased out by 2010. So there’s still ATI cards, there just AMD instead.

Tbf Microsoft has probably killed a lot more people. They’ve at least generated far more misery in aggregate even if an office job isn’t legally considered torture.

Defeat all armed forces everywhere they are. Evil is an equal opportunity employer.

A low place indeed when even the high seas deliver not your treasure.

I’ve worked with hundreds of homeless people, usually trying to help them before the cops sweep their camp, or keeping their car rolling so they can keep living in it.

There was a ubiquitous set of conditions:

• can’t afford housing even though they had a job.
• lost identifying documents, usually in a sweep, and working on replacing them. You can’t get work without these.
• no reliable postal address
• no support network

I’ve never met anyone who wanted to be living on the street.

I’m not talking about crust punks train hopping. I’m talking about the people who missed a day of work for whatever reason and couldn’t make rent one month. Now they’re in a tent near available services because the shelter kicked them out after the max stay of a week.

Being a therapist gives you no expertise here and it seems to me that a therapist who sees punishment as a viable means for behavioral change is kind of shit at their job.

It’s a political problem. Houseless people are there because there’s no political willpower to create systematic change to support them. So you’re absolutely right when you say:

we must either come up with new resources or reevaluate our investments in the resources we currently employ.

The only problem is the answer to this question is more often on the side of the investment not being worth it, so the problem is left unaddressed.

Correction,

liberals: “😘🌈 No”

Shelters, even if there was enough space, can be dangerous for vulnerable people, do not allow pets, and rarely provide medium term housing or transitional opportunity.

Anti-homeless architecture simply attempts to push the houseless further away from urban centers, and consequently food kitchens, shelters, and other resources. This is deadly when extreme weather occurs or acute health problems arise.

It actively makes the city more dangerous to those most fucked by society.

As far as “wanting” to live on the street, this is a narrative made up to victim blame and deny empathy. It only needs one or two examples for the false narrative to be cast on the population writ large.

Volunteer in outreach orgs or at events that are related to your interests.

There are also mutual aid orgs. They are almost always accessibility aware. Maybe check in with MADR. They may be able to point to local groups if you’re in the US.

There’s also Food Not Bombs which is great!

I did see them around as a child millenial. Not totally uncommon in older and public buildings until early 2000’s. The airblade dryers seemed to come in right as the last of these were phased out.

That’s a fair point when these LLMs are restricted to areas where they function well. They have use cases that make sense when isolated from the ethics around training and compute. But the people who made them are applying them wildly outside these use cases.

These are pushed as a solution to every problem for the sake of profit with intentional ignorance of these issues. If a few errors impact someone it’s just a casualty in the goal of making it profitable. That can’t be disentwined from them unless you limit your argument to open source local compute.

Meh, like yeah if it’s happening a lot and you have a inflammation/rash/broken skin then yeah get that checked.

Don’t know a doctor who will give the time of day if i show up saying, “my hand was itchy for two minutes a couple weeks ago and this happens a handful of times a year and it feels good if i use my teeth to dig in”…

Yes but it did come, and took place as the common usage. So much so that Ms. Is used to describe a woman both with and without reference to marital status.

I’m down with using Mrs. not to refer to marital status but imo just going with Ms. Is clearer and easier because of how deeply associated Mrs. Is with it.

No, I’m talking about human learning and the danger imposed by treating an imperfect tool as a reliable source of information as these companies want people to do.

Whether the erratic information is from tokenization or hallucinations is irrelevant when this is already the main source for so many people in their learning, for example, a new language.

Yes but from same source also wife

“His property”

Otherwise it’s just Ms.

These sorts of artifacts wouldn’t be a huge issue except that AI is being pushed to the general public as an alternative means of learning basic information. The meme example is obvious to someone with a strong understanding of English but learners and children might get an artifact and stamp it in their memory, working for years off bad information. Not a problem for a few false things every now and then, that’s unavoidable in learning. Thousands accumulated over long term use, however, and your understanding of the world will be coarser, like the Swiss cheese with voids so large it can’t hold itself up.

That’s a good example of what i mean. Allergic reactions are common issues.

It’s normal to not have an itch and it’s normal to itch. Both can be true simultaneously and neither is weird.

Granted it’s a comment on Lemmy but at a larger scale this kind of incredulous comment can reinforce stigmas.
