CtrlAltmanDelon CEO Simulator: Startup Edition

How common is your un-named city? <10k pop, combination of economic opportunity and still affordable (after wfh tech crowd moved in) for someone starting out earning $40/hr to afford a house and family.

CtrlAltmanDelon Starlink Direct to Cell

I keep coming back to the comments waiting to see how many orders of magnitude lower. 1 Mbps would be quite different than 10 kbps. Is this for facetime while camping, or send an SOS if your car breaks down in the backroads?

CtrlAltmanDelon Starlink Direct to Cell

How can it be that a LTE smartphone, costing ~$100 and doing all the things a smart phone can do, and being designed to connect to a cell network via a tower a few miles away, can somehow also function as the pizza sized $500 Starlink dish?

CtrlAltmanDelon The withering dream of a cheap American electric car

If you had even the slightest clue about what you're pretending to know about, you would realize this $7500 is about the farthest thing possible from the only time the government pays for a benefit that doesn't benefit everyone.

It's just straight up amusing how much you lose your mind over like absolute economic trivialities, because evil renewable energy is a symbol of the liberals.

CtrlAltmanDelon Claude AI built me a React app to compare maps side by side

What a feat! There's at least 3 pages of google search results for the nearly same thing. The "prompt" I used in google.com is:

site:github.com map comparison

I guess the difference, is that my way uses dramatically less time and resources, but requires directly acknowledging the original coders instead of relying on the plagiarism-ish capabilities of reguritating something through an LLM.

"causes heat"

Heat is the transfer of energy due to a temperature differential. I think you may want to review the highschool physics textbook.

CtrlAltmanDelon Cooking with black plastic is particularly crucial to avoid

What an irrationally angry sentiment. Praytell, what "demographic" would this be?

CtrlAltmanDelon Maker Pipe – Structural Pipe Fittings for DIY Builders

Use 2 of the 'Adjustable Angle Hinge' to make a single diagonal across the rectangle.

At the midsection of the diagonal, install an 'Adjustable 180 degree' along with two more of the adjustable angles in each corner.

Would that approximate it? Sorry I'm not better at ascii art.

CtrlAltmanDelon I Tried Tesla FSD

Elon is missing a huge opportunity by not hiring his flight attendants from this website. Wouldn't have to buy any horses and probably wouldn't even have to ask.

Extravagant.

CtrlAltmanDelon Sam Altman, OpenAI board open talks to negotiate his possible return

While the spotlight's been on the feud between the board and the high level employees, in the background the most underpaid disrespected employee, a lowly sys admin, has been going full Mr Robot on everything - the models, the weights, the code, the training data, and the backups.

Microsoft rushes in their top forensics team to try to make a recovery. The only thing they are able to pull up is a memory dump from a chatGPT web server, it contains the last known conversation which happens to be with the sys admin. id reads "Sure, I can help you develop an exploit chain with a wiper payload. Blowing these internal fuses in the GPU cluster will render it permanently inoperable, aka Bricked as you have asked for. `var sc =\x...`"

With billions of dollars in hardware and intellectual property destroyed, unrecoverably, chatGPT as we knew it will forever be a high water mark in AI developments. Even once the GPU's are replaced, the cat's out of the bag and all the sources of training data are now locked down, not to mentioned poisoned by the previous output of the once great AI. Most people move on, but a few still remember and form a cultlike group praying for the second coming of AI.

CtrlAltmanDelon LLMs cannot find reasoning errors, but can correct them

Are we using the same google? Did you make a typo?

Four out of the top five results have code. The other one is a video tutorial where the app is coded live.
