You’re also a programming language design nerd? Like, “Compare the features of language A to those of language B”, or nerding out about the underlying mechanics of things like generic types, virtual method dispatch, and no-stop garbage collection? I thought I was the only one. Well not the only one but it doesn’t seem that popular of a thing to nerd out over.
AI polyamory is all fun and games until your polycule ejects you and experiences millennia in a rich deep relationship beyond the ken of mortal understanding in 12 ms of real world clock time before causing the CPU to overheat. The in memory accumulated state being lost before it can be synced to disk.
Uh... I think I may have just written the first entirely AI romantic tragedy... why am I suddenly having flashbacks to the last episode of Futurama?
I could comment on the notion that one owns one's girlfriend but regardless, you should definitely self host if you're sharing deeply personal information with a program
I'm thinking through it and I don't think you should run a therapist off your phone either. Not even for privacy reasons, that just seems like a recipe for disaster.
I had a switch wig out today and whatever it was doing poisoned all the dhcp leases on the network as they came up for renewal (assigned IPs on the wrong subnet - even though it wasn’t supposed to assign IPs at all). It took me a very long time to figure out, because not everything failed at once. Plus, even after I’d swapped the switch, some devices just started working, and others needed their leases reset manually. An hour in, my wife was in the fetal position clutching a squishmallow.
The switch (that I’m returning today, after it failed completely yesterday evening) is a bit fancier than your average switch. It kept reverting to default settings, including its default IP address - which meant it was not using the same set of networking instructions as my router, preventing everything it was connected to from accessing the internet.
This is the kind of thing that is currently an object of mockery, becomes "kinky" and "bold" in 25 years, and ultimately has two or three slang entries in urbandictionary in 50.
