It’s also incredibly misleading, maybe it was possible to “completely” re-write the UI back in 2005—never mind that most of the value would come from, the underlying geographic data being mostly correct and mostly correctly labeled—there is no way in hell that the same would achievable in 2024. (Also the notion it would take any coder 2 * 1000 / (365 * 5/7) = 7 years to achieve a comparable result is proposterous)
As long as no-one ever bakes—pluginlessly—LLMs into vanilla vim (or into normal nano) I won’t despair too much.
Not surprised, still very disappointed, I feel sick.
Why hasn’t he attempted to make a robotic owl yet? Poser…
To be “fair” kubernetes api only supports strongly validated/typed YAML-ish input…, it won’t let you put non-string values in string locations. And in reality at the HTTP api layer—at least for kubectl—json is used. (Which also means you cant’ do the more weird occult YAML things that JSON wouldn’t let you)
You have to blame the deep-nestedness of k8s resources for unreadability…
I was also a Elon skeptic back-then, but I’ll admit I did get a kick out of the “don’t panic” dashboard.
But golly does he read H2G2 completely wrong (transcript):
I think and it highlighted an important point which is that a lot of times the question is harder than the answer. And if you can properly phrase the question, then the answer is the easy part. So, to the degree that we can better understand the universe, then we can better know what questions to ask. Then whatever the question is that most approximates: what’s the meaning of life? That’s the question we can ultimately get closer to understanding. And so I thought to the degree that we can expand the scope and scale of consciousness and knowledge, then that would be a good thing.
It’s backwards! It misses the joke! It took thousands of years and they got a nonsensical answer before any question! It took a thousand more and they got a nonsensical—incompatible—question! It has been theorized that should someone understand the universe it would be replaced by something more complicated! It has also been theorized this has already happened! Also regarding scale of knowledge, Trin Tragula definetly showed that the One thing you can’t afford to have in this universe, is a sense of perspective!
Surely his reading comprehension isn’t actually this bad, and he only got a bad meme-cliffnotes version of the radio-series/books/movies!?!
I wouldn’t swap it for the world ^^, but maybe a tad fewer existantial crises would be nice (no monkey-paw curls plz)
echo "<URL>" | and mac-only getoutput("pbpaste") (yuck).How nice it must be to never ponder how large humanity is, and how each and every person you see outside has a full and rich interior and exterior world, and you that only see a tiny fraction of the people outside.
Personally one of my “oh other people are real!” moment, was when our parents (along with my sisters) took us on a surprise ferry trip to England (from France) and our grandparents that—at least as far as kid me remembered—we only ever saw in their home city, were waiting for us in Portsmouth, and we visited the city together (Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is quite nice btw).
I knew they were real, but realizing that they weren’t geo-locked, made me more fully internalize that they had full and independent lives, and therefore that everyone had.
How about people here? When did you realize people are real?
Reading about the hubris of young Yud is a bit sad, a proper Tragedy. Then I have to remind myself that he remains a manipulator, and that he should be old enough to stop believe—and promote—in magical thinking.
Unsigned integers are larger because… Because the containing variables don’t have a signature that crypto-statically constrains it to the lower set! (Yes that must be it)
Une qui est similairement vulgaire, et qui marche plus souvent qu’on pourrait penser: « Oh le con ! »
N’importe nawak ?
NB: Supprimer l’accord par contre oui, avec l’auxiliaire avoir par example, surtout que dans 95% des cas la différence n’est pas ou peu audible à l’oral. Serait-il si choquant d’écrire:
Après l’anglais à des soucis que l’on a pas en français:
Les déterminants possessifs, sont marqués avec le genre de la personne plutôt que celui (grammatical) de l’objet: “His comment” ou “Her comment” = “Son commentaire” (Bon c’est vrai, même les transphobes utiliseraient “their” lorsque le genre est ambigu).
Là ou en France il y a une tendance à féminiser les noms de métiers ou occupation, il y a en anglais il y a une tendance à les masculiniser/neutraliser. Example l’usage de “She is an actor” devient plus fréquent (voir ici).
Utiliser l’un ou l’autre est un compromis à faire sur comment exactement traiter les gens de façon équitable, faut-il effacer les différence, donner un même titre “plus prestigieux” à l’autre genre, ou reconnaître un place a part entière aux deux genres ? Surtout quand on sait qu’une grosse part du bousin que l’on a en français c’est en grande partie dû à un effort delibéré de masculinisation (explicitement anti-femme) au 17ème siècle.
C’est pas si évident que ça. Abolir le genre pourquoi pas, mais ça ne doit pas s’accompagner par une marginalisation des femmes.
Ça peut aussi être une subtile tentative de leurrer certains émigrés, les ramener sur reddit avec des promesses de troll, et raviver ce qu’ils pensent être une véritable addiction.
Un peu loin, au Japon.
Don’t forget the:
Thank you for reminding me how vile Moldbug is ? ^^
The irony of crediting Moldbug with a potent explanation for bad poetry is rather amusing. It’s almost a shame that Scott here cops out with a “The margins are too small for my proof”, although maybe it is secret mercy.
I think that particular talking point also serves an exculpatory purpose: “If it was only a razor-thin victory I might understand being angry with me, but see it’s a decisive victory. He has the mandate
of heavenof the people (this is a Trumpian victory! not a Democrat failure!) ! It would be wrong not to congratulate him!”
