  • This just looks like you searched for a term where you knew the google ai will give some output so you can post here.

    And there it is. What’s your agenda? Be honest.

    Never ever did google point you to a specific page of a manual when searching for some value of said manual.

    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.

    Are you being deliberately obtuse, trying to ‘win’, or an llm fanboi?

    The scope isn’t even sitting in front of me. I’m just casually investigating the tooling. Looking at cheapo generic probes, wanted the manufacturer spec sheet/sales page, not the full manual. Used to be, a search like that would return a link to the manufacturer’s page showing specs and documents on the product. Instead of going to rigol’s site, using their shitty search or selecting submenus. It’s not me that gets killed with a search like that, it’s someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing.

    It’s a shortcut for pulling up the manual, 240ish pages long. I’m looking into probes, not currently fucking with 300 volts. Used to be, ask for max specs on a component and get a link to the manufacturer’s or sellers summary.

    I do appreciate your shitty tone and assumption of my ignorance. While I try and stay under 480V grid power, I do occasionally have to mess with it in a professional capacity. I’m safe, but someone who doesn’t understand what they’re playing with gets a free ride on the lightning.







  • My capacity for apocalyptic news has to be carefully metered to prevent burnout and stress. (It’s a balancing act.) Humanity seems to be hellbent on heading down a dark road with a bunch of ugly possible turns.

    The potential to stifle FOSS is bad enough. What I find even more concerning is when the LLM gets good enough to reliably fool developers and can inject very complicated exploits from multiple sources.

    I’m a programmer by trade, but it’s highly specialized. Otherwise, I’m just a power user/script kiddie. My crystal ball is pinging alarm bells about some of this. It’s hard for me to make an accurate assesment of the risk, I lack the knowledge. I expect unspecified bad things and am in a reactionary mode on this.





  • It seems you’ve thought deeply about this. I’ve done so as well.

    It really fucking freaks me out that such a large chunk of our society is detached from objective, verifiable realty. A fair amount of what they believe is pants-on-head crazy vengeance fantasy. Another big chunk has spooky parallels to literal Nazi propaganda such as the Protocol of the Elders of Zion, it’s so similar that it’s obviously just borrowed. It’s shocking that more people don’t see it for what it transparently is.

    I have no clue what can be done about it. I don’t know how society heals this or reinforces the value of facts, sanity, and critical thinking.

    You got anything? Any thoughts about where we go from here? How to unfuck their heads? Where does this end if they aren’t deprogrammed? How long will we be trapped in this?

    Genuine questions because I ain’t got a fucking clue at this point.
