What's the latest AI framework to learn this time?

I have a lamp with two switches installed wrongly as:

---[ ]---[ ]----( )---
Sw1 Sw2 Lamp


How do I fix it into a threeway like your pic? Do I need to pass more wiring? (it's a rental, if I can fix it simply by reconnecting stuff on the switches, I might do it, but if I need to actually put down some wires (like blue/purple on your pic), I don't care that much, I'll leave it as is)
>>
>>108133909
In the thumbnail it looked like you put wires on mice

>>108133909
Learn HTMX, Alpine and your backend language of choice - you don't need more

wtf is that

It's a comfy job if you swing it right. I'm an industrial electrician for the railroad and I barely even do anything most of the time, basically just answer trouble calls, test up locomotives occasionally, write a few reports. Winter is less comfy though since snow fucks our shit up.

plumbers make more money and get to meet cute wives.
>>
>>108133909
That isn't even the right way to wire a three-way switch.
>>
Probably a good career choice.
All these new data centers they're buildings will need lots of electricians.
>>
>>108133909
Have you considered not being a dev for a company that makes slop?
Just a thought :)
>>
>>108137067
>become a dev for a non-existing company
great advice
>>
>>108134032
Stop watching primeagen retard
>>
>>108136970
Seriously.
down down should be off
Ive been meaning to fix this in my kitchen forever. At least the 4 ways in my house got it right.
>>
>>108137098
If they don't exist, why am I employed by one?
Makes you think :)
>>
>>108137293
If your company vanished overnight, would it affect anything that matters?
If not, it's slop.
>>
>>108134032
>Alpine

Jesus Christ, what the fuck are they feeding you that you turned out like this? How does putting a ridiculous amount of JS boilerplate inside fucking HTML attributes sound like a good idea?
>>
>>108137357
>If your company vanished overnight, would it affect anything that matters?
It would to an extent. My industry is a hydra though.
Defence btw.
>>
>>108137689
Oh yeah the big important American defense industry. Defending us from goat herders from the other side of the world. Really matters.
>>
>>108137753
It truly does. Its a major part of the economy, and the existence of what we are working on is vital to the future of our allies.
Cry about it :P
>>
>>108137791
Kill yourself faggot.
>>
>>108133909
comfy electrician work like electrical distribution board is small % of overall work, most of the time you just unwind kilometers of cable and mount it on the wall
also fuck off we're full
>>
>>108138258
IT softies think that trades are some sweet gig where you chill with your buttcrack hanging out all day. They fail to understand that actually most trades involve hard labor, not all pay great and they are also knowledge intensive and you have the stress of knowing fucking up could kill someone.

>>108133909
try gay porn instead

>>108133909
Welcome to the real world.
>>
>>108138854
residential is pretty comfy though, just run cables, drill holes into every structural member of the building, shit in a portapotty, and curse the designer who wants power to the kitchen island

I've been watching electrician videos. It doesn't seem that fun. Inhaling dusty from drywall and insulation is not healthy. Also if you're a twink, carrying around tools all day would be exhausting. Then there is the repetition aspect - doing the same shit all the time.
>>
>>108139669
There are no fun jobs.
>>
>>108133909
This diagram doesn't show breaking the bus bar off one side of the switch, without doing that you'll just pop your breaker.
>>108137158
My condolances.

>>108133909
>I'm gonna become an electrician.
Something tells me you're going to be bad at that too.
>>
>>108133973
You need more wires and you need to replace the switches with 2 three way switches.
If you need 3 or more points where you want to turn the lights on, you need 1 or more four way switches in between the three way switches.
You do not need a ground wire on the switches, you need ground only on the lights, this is a trick that the wire jews tell you so you buy more cables.
>>
>>108140759
>2 three way switches
this is known as a normal switch with the tab broken off. Stop trying to trick him into spending extra money.
>>
>>108140837
The switches are in 2 separate boxes.

Thanks, if it was just opening it up and reconnecting stuff, I might do it, but I dont really care since it's a rental. It's a small corridor too I almost never ever turn that light on. Only if it was trivial for me to 'dip my toes' so to speak, but nah.

Thanks anyway.
