Site back to working order.

by

Had to take my site down due to fuckery with SEO tools . Overall, The site should be faster now. In its simplest form Yoast updated a plugin that made me realize that something was going on in the back end of the site. I have removed Yoast due to them enshittification. Yoast it seems has move some of its SEO tools the the paid end of things with little to no notice. I think if they are going to do that might be nice to send a notification. For now i will sit back and enjoy my coffee.

When Companies pick apart their software and sell off each piece as a service they can stick it up their rectum. They run the plug-in like they are the snap on tool truck that wants to sell you each time you use a wrench.

I have updated some stuff , nothing front facing.. Just a bit under the hood.

Adding AI to Vaers will not make it better…

by

The Vaers Database is getting an upgrade it seems. The Vaers database tracks reactions to Vaccines. This database has been long used by the AntiVax crowd to point out non-causal links in vaccines.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rolled out a new system using AI, that uses  publicly accessible reporting of negative or unexpected health effects linked to medicines, vaccines, cosmetics, animal food and other consumer products. -Source: [Fox News]

While the addition of Cosmetics, Animal food and other stuff seems like a boon to this it is not. it will cause doctors to chase ghosts in the system. If a baby eats dog food after a vaccine and has a reaction it will be logged, When the actually reaction may have been the dog food. This will cloud the new database where Causal reaction will cloud issues casual relation.

This will make it impossible to find out what is the actual problem.

The FDA claims it will have a single, platform that researchers will have access to key data -Source: [Fox News]

Also by publishing monthly there is going to be a much harder time vetting the information. While throwing large amounts of Information To an AI it is likely going to hallucinate if the database is not perfectly formatted.

If you throw millions of variables (Dog Food+ Flu Shot + Rash) into a monthly processing cycle, the probability of a “false positive” signal approaches 100%. The AI isn’t finding truth; it’s finding bullshit correlations.

While this new system claims to be cheaper I feel like the numbers maybe cooked. the Old system you could download the entirety and manually search. If AEMS only allows search through an “intuitive” AI interface, it effectively creates a Black Box. You won’t be able audit what you can’t see. This new device takes the data out of the users hands and may present a fever dream of an answer. It could spit out the entire plot of the 1989 batman movie when the joker poisons products.

In the end, as a researcher, I’d rather have the data in my hands than given what an AI thinks because in the end AI does not have intuition. End all it will flood the research market with uninspired noise that will confuse time tested research methods. Under the new system, a Fart could be diagnosed as a vaccine reaction when it did not take to fact the person ate a 3 bean burrito at taco bell.

Anyways Im out, to have a coffee that will be misdiagnosed as cocaine use in this new system….Stay Caffeinated, Stay vigilant of bullshit…

ps: the amount per search via AI is going to cost an astronomical amount of power vs the several cents worth of electricity of using a CSV.

When did HHS become HHD

by

Health and Human Services has become lost in the last year. We’ve turned from trying to keep people from getting sick to keep people from fringe things that statistically don’t matter. Targeting things like Red , spending a year on it than going never mind as long as red is not made from oil?! While that is going on the US has had a measles that is threatening the US. This measles outbreak is threatening the US from being nearly free after 30 years. HHS is ignoring measles, Its barely in the news. But back to RED , saying that red has increased autism is a failed statistic. the correlation could confirm autism with anything. The Price of socks has caused autism to rise in the last 30 years. The Consumption of pizza has caused autism to rise. the amount of warmer water in the use of bottled water caused autism to rise. What i mean is HHS is focusing on a bottle of water and wondering why the neck is warmer than the rest. While missing the point that the water has gone green .I have a secret, I know why autism rose… It is crazy. F84.0, F84.1, F84.5, F84.9 . if your a doctor you smiled. if not you have not figured out the big secret here. the magic in this case is diagnostic criteria here. Using diagnostic criteria there were condition that were close to autism and the diagnostic criteria got rolled in with it. Meaning conditions that were orphaned were matched with autism. so was there an explosion of autism, Not really. It just looks that way when otherwise condition with no known cause were that looked like autism. here is the thing, if it looks like autism acts like autism call it autism. Parents had a unneeded shame factor in the 80s and earlier. Your kids weren’t broke, they just marched to a different drum.

Now, Measles Is something that we had nearly gotten rid of , yet now measles is running wild in states. States are dangerously getting close to the bottom of herd immunity. Stop looking at the fucking red and get to the issue of measles. Measles if let to run, will cause long term medical issues to skyrocket. Measles can cause your body to forget to what it is immune to , Imagine having chicken pox again at 25 or 35? Have Asthma .. good luck, severe pneumonia. Acute encephalitis (brain swelling) during the infection can cause permanent intellectual disabilities, seizures, and hearing loss (deafness). Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis. This is all very very bad to all of us. The US medical system is already under strain. Doctors need to stop having to worrying about our leaders saying weird shit. and not have worry about red when this measles will cause a crash.

So in the end I restate: STOP LOOKING AT THE FUCKING RED AND GET TO THE ISSUE OF MEASLES.!

We need to talk about “smart” devices…

by

In this world of AI and smart devices we are leaning towards a smart Armageddon. There are so many stupid smart devices out there. Smart Water bottles ? Fuck that, they are likely stealing your data and location. Smart Toasters? Fuck that you can turn a knob and almost 500$. Smart thing you piss on for tracking hydration.

The sad sad story about this of all of these smart devices that claim to make your life easier are doing one thing. They are taking data from your life apart one piece of data at a time. You end up losing your own agency and sovereignty. They end up selling every piece of your life away for pennies, then reselling that and making more money… if you need a true smart device, buy a whiteboard, it’s safer. it will not steal your data. A whiteboard doesn’t leave you open to marketing unless you pin a pizza advertisement to it. If the smart device company goes out of business you have a Dumb smart brick. You are stuck with someone else’s mistake and a worthless product.

These smart on-the-go devices like water bottles also leak your position in real time with Bluetooth. They are as secure as a screen door on a sub made of paper. Your data also has no chain of ownership, so once your data gets “analyzed” you lost a bit of yourself. You have NO idea where this data is sold off too. This is the sick future of things you will not be able to take a shit without that data being sold off.

If you think about it , a whiteboard is more secure than all of these devices. A smart toaster could leak information about you to an insurance company, You’d have no idea why your rates shot up because they bought data on your carb habits. the piss tracker for hydration could “leak” data saying you are a health risk because you do not drink enough. These billion dollar companies spend more time buying data about you than talking to you. One of the biggest spies in the world …. Walmart!! Walmart could train the CIA. Walmart is turning into a data company that just happens to sell you socks when you need them while tracking your phone. When you are in their stores buying smart shit they follow you around the stores with facial recognition, they likely buy the information from the smart device makers to “help” you make informed decisions. Walmart has used this ecosystem to generate 6.4 billion dollars! they are planing devices inventory tracking that have Bluetooth, the funny thing about that it’s not about that . every time a mobile phone passes these devices will become aware that your phone has passed it . they will map you out through the store and see your exact habits. at that point just buy a cucumber some Vaseline and condoms, While checking out if there are any employees left just say your going to have some fun tonight. Just to screw with metrics. .

But in all when purchasing a “smart” device, ask yourself, Do i really need this device to be smart. Coffee parts are smart enough with the built in clock. your smart enough to put the grinds in the coffee pot , You are smart enough to add water. If you need something more smart, Upgrade to a Prosumer level or a commercial grade. Don’t get distracted by apps , Features you don’t need or See things on your phone. because in the case of the coffee pot you pass by it 20 times a day in your house.

Because, In the end you need to ask yourself, what did they remove to add the “smart” tech. What happens to the device if you lose internet. There are coffeepots out there that already stop working when the internet is off. How reliable is the small computer that tracks you in the device, will a device like a toaster stop working when toasters have worked nearly 100 years if the “smart” dies. The whiteboard is your best device if you need to track things. if you really need a “smart” coffeepot buy a smart plug and a dumb coffeepot with a switch if you really need a smart coffeepot. the plus is less data leaky about your caffeine habits.

Final thoughts here, if you need a smart device that doesn’t really need it , Buy a smart plug. That’s my opinion. The smart plug will leak data but at worst they will leak Wattage use vs hard data. Need a smart crockpot. skip it . buy a smart plug and you can turn it on in the middle of the day and all the smart plug knows is you turned the plug on. Not stuff they sneaked into device or menus asking what you are cooking to have you volunteer more data.

in the end buy a smartplug with 1800w 15a so you don’t burn your house down anciently and moreover don’t give anyone data on when you are cooking your 239842398 alarm chili in your crockpot.

I’m not saying all smart devices are bad, but you need to think about what you are giving up the first time you sign into an app. If you really want to have that “smart” device – Buy a dumb device and use a smart plug, it is cheaper in more ways you than you can count. You do not lose your personal security. A smart plug might give up the energy your using and perhaps some network mapping. A smart device with an app on its own is a spy that will leech every bit of data it can get.

In all that’s my opinion… Now back to my coffee from my non smart pot.

What the shit is with shit coffee.

by

We’ve had Cat Shit coffee , Elephant shit coffee, Monkey shit coffee, and now we have expensive as shit coffee.

Geisha coffee from Hacienda La Esmeralda in Boquete was sold for $30,204 a kilogram. When coffee gets more expensive than printer ink that is CRAZY. With that same money you could fly to Japan spend 3 weeks there while getting coffee from every mom and pop shop and live like a king while absorbing the local culture. The SCA (Specialty Coffee Association) has 100-Point Scale. This coffee scored 98, This coffee is apparently perfected liquid angel piss. If dunkin donuts had this coffee it would likely cost over $3000 a large cup.

If you took that $30,204 and put it into a high-yield savings account or a conservative index fund it would generate roughly $1,500 to $2,100 a year in interest. it would fund a 5 dollar coffee day for the rest of your life, and worse if you skip 2 days a week, by the time you are done with compounded amounts eventually you can start getting crazy Starbucks coffee.


Im sure somewhere somehow someone wants the cred to have the most expensive coffee in the world but the cost of cup of coffee I’d rather have enough money to start a coffee trust fund that pays for my Everyday coffee.. But while the every-person just wants a cup of coffee someone is making a coffee that is apparently the “best” coffee.

I’ll stick with my coffee from local places , I don’t want a bag of coffee that i could put a down payment on the house. Give me some mechanics coffee and the cash and I’d be happier.

CVS, Your Dealer you never wanted.

by

CVS sucks. and i have multiple reasons for that, if you are on meds they fuck with you in numerous ways.

The regiseters are a privacy nightmare. I had complained about them and they said they were safe. the problem is people will see your name and your birthdate when you put in your information for meds.

That the register, the front one but the same as the one in the pharmacy , While the ones in the back do have a limited visibility, they do not cover you from behind so someone could talk your information while you type it in.

Also for meds, CVS seems to have made themselves high lord of your drugs over your doctors. If you get one med they will often substitute medications even with doctors objections. If you are on an opiate CVS treats you like a dirty druggy. Even the smallest amount of medication you will find delays , Out of stocks and more on meds. I had one med delayed while having a respiratory condition. “Oh you can come back in about a month for it..” the fuck is that. its like telling the person they are not sick enough for the meds.

CVS is in my opinion a borderline monopoly. Fuck em.

Also , WHen you try to look at a webpage for a prescription they bring you to their app, The APP that claims it helps you with AI slop, the app that says that your protected medical information is not protected. So on a phone you are unable to see your meds unless you submit your soul to them. That should be illegal. The fact that our culture is continuing to accept the AI bull shit slop and companies who abuse the average consumer without resistance is disgusting. Soon enough CVS will just pan all of the patient neglect to the app and saying it is not their fault.
its coming to your wallet and soon enough your health will be in the hands of a computer that often tells you to eat glass.

We need to talk about AI .

by

AI chatbots are becoming a daily interaction and the problem is they are all shit. Amazon for example has RUFUS, While sounding cool in nature it is the most annoying AI known to man. it keeps bothering as over and over. it is like

The idea of RUFUS if asked for is one thing but this thing is the collective powers of the bothersome waiter , a nosey neighbor , a know it all and attempted know it all. if you type teva shoes it tries to show you all sorts of garbage even though i typed [Teva] [shoes] , Rufus pops out and overtakes about 20% the screen throwing irrelevant bullshit at you .

The thing is …. AI has no idea of timing. if i typed shoes ands went through 50 brands and it popped up than i might be more apt to recieve help from the Annoying bot. but it comes on the screen like its trying to throw shit off the table and goes “do you this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this!” and you immediately get overloaded with bullshit that you are not looking for . No matter what you tell rufus it does not go away. Even if you tell rufus you hate every fiber of its being and you would rather be waterboarded and have a hot poker stuff up your ass, it still does not go away. Amazon …. seriously you cant push an AI that has no tact and has the patience of a waiter that waits for the exact moment you take a bite of your food to ask if everything is ok.

AI should be a choice . Not be forced. not be invasive. not be brash . The AI boon is not , it will fail and eventually companies will force AI to be under a price point. Google is already at this point . they have fucked over their google home devices.

The AI boon is fucking over every consumer and most people do not realize this , when a computer has an “ai” chip they have done nothing to the chip to optimize it . in all likelihood you could get AI on a 486 chip however slow. The price of RAM and storage is going through the roof because companies are stealing every bit of data they get their hands on. If i copied anything like that they would go copyright infringement but they steal 99% of what’s out there.

When companies are sticking AI on everything they can as a sales point you know that for the most part AI is bullshit.

You know what grinds my gears…

Yes , Messes are annoying. I hate them. though i have caused my fair share of messes myself. When I was growing up I used to leave my room in a clusterfuck. honestly as i got older i did clean but when i did someone would come in and fuck my room up. It pissed me off. So I left my room a mess, not just a mess, a GLORIOUS MESS!

Fucking really. in my teenage years it became easier to leave my room a mess, it was a barrier, it kept people out, It kept me in . So I did not have to deal with people. Although I had simple rules, if I had a path out of my room it was “fine” . because when i did clean my room it was like clockwork that someone would come in, go through my shit and throw shit out and claim it was “help” . The aftermath was me digging through the trash and having to dig out thousands of dollars of stuff.

As I’ve gotten older I keep my stuff cleaner, or try. It’s hard. Somedays I go from clean to clusterfuck and I am not even the one doing it .

Excuse my rant while I froth.

Attack of the Christmas part III

by

Another year another holiday , What used to be called Christmas creep to me is now attack of the Christmas. When they started Christmas stuff in October I was angry, but now it seems we cant get the fuck through summer without some sort of Christmas.  Every Year we are losing the war on Christmas , soon we are going to get Christmas advertisements in April .. I was walking through a store in AUGUST… and what do I see to fill me with enough rage to make me light plastic santa clauses on fire… this…..

20140825_170952Are you fucking kidding me… ?

My answer to this ..

Nuke_itStores wonder why there Christmas sales are so poor around Christmas. They do not think that forcing christmas down our throat early and earlier is a bad thing. Actually it is . It starts to wears people out faster when they start having christmas music vomited out of every speaker in store just to get in the “spirit” of shopping.  This does not get me in the spirit at all, moreover it gets me in the spirit of getting the fuck out of that store faster.  In the long run companies lose out on profits by spreading out christmas more because people are like likely to impulse buy with christmas that is months and months away. Instead they will make decisions that will save some money and not do the christmas rush.  Not that I support the christmas early thing, but it spreads a lesser profit over a year and actually could result in less profits for the company.  These companies should put christmas back where it belongs after thanksgiving and focus on that time rather than bitch and moan that black friday was a huge loss.  Well fucking Duh …. People bought all there shit in August when you started putting your shit out.

If you give me the choice of proctology by hand grenade or Christmas music in the middle of the year. I will most definitely take the hand grenade thank you .  It is less painful and it gets you out of listening to the Christmas music.

As far as advertisements are concerned K-mart has earned a special place in hell this year.  They put on a commercial for christmas by saying it was not a Christmas commercial. They seriously need a lesson in fucking timing.

They use weasel wording to get around the topic that its a christmas related commercial and try to act coy about it .  By saying its not christmas and having santa drive by in a handicap cart … wow fuck you K-mart.  Whoever the suit at K-mart thought this was a great idea should have a polar ice cap shoved up his ass.
