Yes, I’ll just trust the AI to help me fuck around with grid voltage levels.
With google search results becoming so poor, I guess I need to look into kagi or duck-duck. Pain in my dick, motherless goatfucking, horsehit-happy asshole, corporate varmints gotta fuck it all up for more profit. I’m tired, yo.


And there it is. What’s your agenda? Be honest.
That’s a fucking lie! You’re lying.
I was drinking my coffee, having a lazy morning, researching the capabilities of my new-to-me scope while sitting in my study. Scope is in a different room and didn’t come witn a paper manual.
User manual, programming manual, and other technical docs are in the reference section of my self hosted library which is currently down, sd card or the board is on the fritz. (Calibre runs best with a desktop environment so it’s on it’s own little orangepi board running ubuntu or something in a gui that I remote into.)
Looking at third party probes and wanting a quick reference for the input specs. Wondering if I can get away with a 50ohm bnc cable to resistor for the external trigger or if I’m better off grabbing a cheap probe.
I’m not the one being dishonest and searching for something like this is perfectly reasonable and shouldn’t result in a personified bot trying to help me fuck with lethal voltages. That’s fucking crazy and defending that is a hell of a choice on your part.
Nop i am not. Manuals for measurement equiptment or electronic components are always long pdf docs with 50+ pages and never ever did google give you the pdf from a search. Best you could ever get was the overview site of the manufacturers that is still the first link after the sponsored links in the search at least for me. You never could google a random spec of something like this and get to a page of the manual. Only to something like the general overview. The rigol overview doesnt even display your input specs for your measuring inputs and specific information like the input levels the io of the external trigger are not stated there and like i said would always be in the docs. The datasheet is one of four documents for that device where the max input voltage of the trigger is shown. Then you have a programming manual a service manual and a user manual with many pages that google would have never “just” given you with your search term. Dont pretend that you could have googled that 10 years ago and got the pdf doc in your search.
My point still stands that this is not some ai error that kills someone because ai gave specs for the inputs. Is it not common knowledge that working with high voltages is a no go if you have no clue?
What? of course it did, that’s what made it such a good search engine.
LLMs, the things advertised as the all knowing universal knowledge machine, make laypeople confident, as if they have had a clue on the topic. It presents the info confidently, and the layperson won’t know when it is wrong.
