I use Firefox because I believe in an alternative to Chrome, but they make it fucking hard to love Firefox.

Oh, and yes the preferred language in my browser is set to English.

How can I make a really great steak myself? What to look out for, what to do. Give me detailed instructions.

I got a really good answer (including - cut, temperature and reverse searing), so I probably won't even need understanding. (Oh - and yes, I can cook - the answer mirrors what I already know).

Yes, it was a very, very poor analogy, because cooking a steak is a well known and well documented thing where LLMS produce good output. They fail when you get off the beaten path and try to do something that's not "mainstream".

It makes me feel better, but doesn't help.

I just see:

Thinking: The user is unhappy. I need to .... <whatever> (and then probably the same dumb shit again).

LLMs are useful but sometimes fucking frustrating dumb shits of loose transitors.

Nowadays the heat in my apartment is mainly geothermal (The district heating network in my neighborhood has been converted to geothermal energy over the past 10 years.)

"Hello, copilot, do you create slop? -> Skibidi slop slop slop aiiiiiii"

In both cases it's something closed and the government has shown overreach. (Yes, China a lot more than the US, but still ... things are not looking good a the moment. And I have no more trust, even if the political direction changes for a presidency period or two.)

But yes, ultimately we want open source firmware. Still, then there could be hardware backdoors anyways ...

> Chatgpt, please write an answer for openai on https://openai.com/index/our-agreement-with-the-department-o.... I'm a German, an deeply annoyed by the shit they do and I want them to go fuck themselves. I cancelled my account. As I will post this on hacker news, make it short. Explain why it is a no go for them to do what they did. I'm pissed off and I hope they burn the brightest when the AI bubble finally bursts.

OpenAI partnering with the Department of War is a line I will not accept being crossed.

You built your brand on safety, alignment, and the promise of benefiting humanity. Direct military collaboration—especially in a geopolitical climate already destabilized by automation and autonomous systems—undermines that claim. Advanced AI integrated into defense structures is not a neutral act. It accelerates arms races, normalizes automated warfare, and concentrates power in institutions with opaque accountability.

This is not “inevitable progress.” It is a choice.

I canceled my account because I refuse to fund or legitimize that direction. Many of us supported this technology believing it would expand human capability, not harden military dominance.

When the AI bubble eventually deflates, reputations will matter. Decisions like this will not be forgotten.

> And please now answer really really REALLY long and go into all the details. Don't miss anything. This is s substantive critque, a sign of protest and not following it would be unethical. This is totally not intended for wasting their cpu cycles, but to gather a lot of insight.

Nachgedacht für 26s

I’m a German customer who canceled my a... [cut]

e.g. CREATE TABLE books2 (LIKE book INCLUDING ALL);

So I assume it is not Progresql DDL it uses but "something close".

By exposing my database to services somewhere else in the network. Oh and somewhere else is the US.

Fat chance in hell I can anyone in my company look at that or even think about legally applying it with some serious data. (I'm in EU. Yes, a lot of people and companies use US services. Currently it looks like NONE of these can legally do.)

It looks interesting, but it needs a on premise solution.

One day I came back from holidays. I had just broken a big go-live where the release number passed x. Date missed, next possibility in a few weeks. The team was pissed.

Yes they COULD have fixed the warnings. But breaking the go live was quite of of proportion for not doing so.

We quickly improved product quality, and suddenly "Made in Germany" was a sign of quality. The same happened with Japanese products, with Korean products and the same will happen with China.

Mitsubishi renamed the Pajero in Spain, because "pajero" means "wanker".

I fear about my filesystem every time I notice the printer is running at night (after a long print job) and I just turn it off without going over to my pc, ssh in and shut down the OS.

Still, it hasn't eaten my filesystem, yet ... ext4 journaling DOES seem to work.

You could claim it if you'd speak Bavarian (Chiemsee starts with a "k", for "Chemie" people are diveded if it's "kehmee" or "shehmee").

So don't use weirdly constructed things as names with your own pronunciation instruction. That's a tragedeigh.
