    That’s bullshit.

    If I was completely certain of something, I would say so.

    In most scenarios, if I’m wrong, I lacked pieces of information. It doesn’t really matter how strongly I feel I am right if I’m wrong. It certainly doesn’t matter how often I am right, because I could get it wrong.

    In particular if there is a chunk of knowledge where I don’t know how much information I am lacking, that’s the worst outcome. I could be so extremely wrong that it requires more time than waiting to confirm whether or I am.

    It’s very rude and condescending of management and clients to always be so critical of my “confidence.” It has nothing to do with how “confident” I am in an solution.

    I get paid to be right. So I will be right a lot. It isn’t a magical he’s usually right so he’s right this time. If that is what is expected of me, use LLMs.

    Edit: It may not be clear, but I have given the “certain” I am right 4 or 5 times over 13 years. It’s RARE. I do not sugarcoat. I don’t have the energy to play social games when time, money, and system availability is at stake.













  • I gotta do this today. I liked Ubuntu but I need something less thinky like Bazzite.

    I tried it earlier, but my flash drive fried (didn’t know it) ended up with like 4 partitions on my nvme, none of which would boot. No kernel found in grub, was able to boot into recovery from the stick, did the media test BAM failed sector. Went in to try and wipe the drive, magically had a 6.98 available space and the whole drive was write protected.
