So you took the literal scenario (woman in wheelchair gets insulting comment asking if her disability affects her sexually) and inverted it so that the insultor is disadvantaged against a hypothetical celebrity who causes them social harm. Why? Autism isn't a fucking pallisade and it shouldn't be used to counter attack legitimate points. You're the one doing damage to perceptions of autistic people. Please stop.

Black hat and Defcon just ended and I'll share my impression from LLM related talks given there. Microsoft VPs charged additional money to CISOs attending the summit talking about how AI will disrupt and be the future and blah blah magical thinking.

Meanwhile Microsoft engineers and others said things like "this is logarithmic regression for people who are bad at math, and is best for cases where 75% accuracy is good enough. Try to break use cases into as many steps as possible and keep the LLM away from any automation that could have any consequences. These systems have no separation between the control plane and user input, which is re-exposing us to problems that were solved 15 years ago."

I think there are some neat possibilities that are lost in marketing hype as venture capitalist anger grows that they might have been scammed by yet another hammer in search of nails.

"Nut meat" is a common phrase so I would guess the peanut product is closest, but please stop this line of thought for your own safety.

I don't presume to know your situation or the people you've dealt with so I'll be charitable and imagine you cut your losses and quit similar situations in good faith, but you and I are both ignorant about the lives of others. It seems to me like the behavior you label an abandonment of principle leaves the door open to future redemption of a loved one. That's worth fighting for. On that ground, I think you should stop sharing this opinion even if it's true for you. If they don't want to damn their own mother to a propoganda echo chamber full of malice then I'm rooting for them.

A baby rabbit is called a kitten. A baby hare is called a leveret!

Children render frames incredibly slowly, and usually in crayon. I can't imagine between that and lack of necessary math skills you wouldn't get better performance by replacing the family with additional steamdecks of any storage capacity.

You're doing great lol. Back in my helpdesk days I loved talking to people who overshared to be helpful.

I think that OP is providing all details they think might be relevant, so whether they a little confused or not they got the spirit and I appreciate it.

Confusingly, there's actually two similar staves that get mixed up. The helix patterned one with two winged snakes I think you have in mind is called the Caduceus, but the the single wingless version I meant is the staff of Aesculapius (multiple spellings out there).

Go check out the alledged link between the snake wrapped staff that's used to represent medicine and the treatment for guinea worms. Googling puts that theory with the Ebers papyrus from 1500 BC if it's true!
