This happened to me too a few years ago, and I’m also quite a calm person, so it caught me by surprise.
It was 6 months or so after becoming a father, and my best guess is that the sleep deprivation was messing with my head. It stopped and I’ve been fine since.
I get them sometimes too. After googling it before, my best guess is precordial catch. Apparently good posture and staying hydrated can help prevent it.

I just bought the shirt because it looked cool

Surely it’s been renamed or retired by now though.

3·22 days agoPeople have given you good resources, so I’ll just speak to the second part: I switched a few months ago, and it has been surprisingly easy. I’m just… doing normal computer things like I used to on windows. Even gaming.
Here’s a recent one:

Oh. Oh no…
Not my meme, but I have read stories of multiple people trying this and failing spectacularly. It wouldn’t surprise me if this actually happened.

5·28 days agoIt’s such weird behavior. I was troubleshooting something yesterday and asked an AI about it, and it gave me the solution that it claims it has used for the same issue for 15 years. I corrected it “You’re not real and certainly were not around 15 years ago”, and it did the whole “you’re right!” thing, but then also immediately went back to speaking the same way.

4·28 days agoI once saw a list of instructions being passed around that were intended to be tacked on to any prompt: e.g. “don’t speculate, don’t estimate, don’t fill in knowledge gaps”
But you’d think it would make more sense to add that into the weights rather than putting it in your prompt and hoping it works. As it stands, it sometimes feels like making a wish on the monkey paw and trying to close a bunch of unfortunate cursed loopholes.

41·29 days agoYeah, you just have to practice a little skepticism.
I don’t know what its actual error rate is, but if we say hypothetically that it gives bad info 5% the time: you wouldn’t want a calculator or an encyclopedia that was wrong that often, but you would really value an advisor that pointed you toward the right info 95% of the time.

and what I assume was the original source image

I’ll be there soon.

That’s where I am, although it’s only been a few months. It’s nice.





I just got this error for the first time yesterday and was briefly confused. I didn’t realize that you don’t automatically get sudo privileges when you set up an admin account on every distro.
