Hey. Y’all, I’m still alive. So is the cat, who became a lot more mouthy and assertive after his ER experience. Probably feels a lot better now that his asthma is getting treated.
@matigo they’re a device called an Aerokat that goes between the inhaler…the exact same kind my other half takes for her asthma…and the pet with an appropriately sized face mask.
The cat isn’t exactly happy about it and has to be held. Thankfully we’re only having to do it a couple times a week.
@matigo Yes along with a "spacer" to spray the inhaler into so the cat can breathe normally and get the medicine. They use similar things on small humans, too.
First time we gave the cat a shot of his asthma inhaler. Yes, treats were involved, but he largely cooperated.
@matigo AI (or specifically LLMs) have one flaw: code (i.e. the "guardrails") and data are fed through the same channel. It's almost like we forgot the lesson John Draper showed us…that in-band signaling is NOT SECURE.
@matigo Having watched Nokia cede the smartphone market from the inside, albeit from an unrelated business unit, I can say the issue was "too many chiefs."
In this case, the issues stem from the headlong rush into AI…and what that's doing to the industry…on multiple levels.
The last time I heard the phrases "no one got a raise" and "everyone got a lower bonus"…I was at Nokia. And we know what happened to them.
First time we've taken him to the vet since my other half and I have been together. The cat had an asthma attack. He'll be alright.
Wherein I do a video version [youtu.be] of the post I did about my uncle passing away. It was emotional, y’all.
