You are correct. Voting isn’t going to solve this problem.

I really think we need to amend the constitution to allow a true democratic vote of no confidence for all federally elected positions.

Yeah, you might as well not vote. You’re never going to sway enough people to vote independent to challenge one of the big two, especially since the choice right now is between old people or people trying to establish a fascist theocracy.

Yes, but a neural network is just a collection of ML algorithms.

I mean, true AI isn’t really a thing yet. People have been using AI wrong for a very long time now. Even ChatGPT isn’t real AI.

You’re just trying to get the device into a known good state.

The truth is that it’s rarely worth trying to find the root cause of an issue unless it’s a frequent problem.

Something somewhere went wrong. We don’t know if it’s a hardware or software issue, so we’ll try a solution that covers both.

Powering the device off stops the flow of electricity, and waiting a few seconds makes sure that any capacitors (think of very tiny, very fast batteries) bleed off the power they’ve stored. Then turning it back on makes it go through the full startup process which is likely to result in a working state.

I mean, it’s mostly an inhospitable wasteland.

It’s not surprising. I mean, there’s a reason jokes about hating your spouse are called boomer jokes.

Chevron paid them a lot of money.

I vote that we send him to Greenland and tell him he’s the king now.
