pointless software that I don’t know why anyone uses.

a bot can waste cycles on nothing just as easily as I can

Don’t store your photos on other people’s computers. Store them on your computer.

I tracked its first use to a series of papers written in the 1960s by S. M. Miller, sociology PhD with Syracuse University, New York, USA.

Since many letters and letter clusters can map to the same sounds in English, it’s just a way to make a one-to-one mapping instead. ə is the ‘uh’ sound that starts the word ‘about’ for instance.

The ˈ marks the main stress syllable and ˌ marks any secondary stresses.

cre·​den·​tial·​ism kri-ˈden(t)-shə-ˌli-zəm : undue emphasis on credentials (such as college degrees) as prerequisites to employment

The part of me that hates credentialism loves this but the part of me that knows how fucking stupid people are hates it.

Ah yes, the two races: poor and white.

why is there a Millennium Falcon watermark

Probably Fahrenheit 451.

The way that book predicted and depicted streaming as a vapid activity that will make you numb is what stuck with me most both then and now.

first thought, but probably

Yep, but if you ask me to solve the same problem at different times I probably wouldn’t write the same code either.

A lot of the arguments people use against vibe coding sounds a lot like “You shouldn’t use a high-level programming language unless you understand the assembly it compiles to.”

Wooooooow. This is some of the biggest bs i’ve ever seen.

That’s exactly how I treated my trip. “This trip is going to cost 400 dollars and not a penny more.” The fact that it didn’t was just a happy coincidence.

Never once in my life have I felt the appeal of gambling.

All I needed to learn is that statistically, the house comes out ahead, and that was that.

A friend once insisted on dragging me out to a casino, and I came up with a hare-brained plan for blackjack (since it has the best odds of victory). I decided to double my bet every time until I won. But only up to as much money as I was willing to lose, because there’s a low chance for this strategy to go poorly very quickly.

I made enough money to pay for the entire trip, and then I never gambled again for the rest of my life. So that’s my story of how I came out ahead.

Don’t kid yourselves. Once Europe develops its own big tech, it’s going to be just as untrustworthy. But at least it will be your untrustworthy.

Oh cool so that means Star Citizen will be finished by then, right? AI should be able to build an even better version from scratch in a few hours, surely

Curious what was wrong with 95. Did you like 98 better?
