But like… I’ve seen dogs lie better than that

I can’t wrap my head around this. I can’t imagine this level of stupidity, i just don’t understand

I mean, that’s certainly true… But like, we told them the test answers. They let slip in an interview they just had to “clean up” the video, and reporters were like “what the fuck does that mean?”. So then they said they’d also release the unedited video alongside the “cleaned up” one, and reporters would not let that go

I mean, I know they’re dumb, but come on… I just can’t fathom this level of incompetence. They literally started a coverup, made out this video to be proof to get everyone to calm down, and what? Realized the video actually looked sketchy and doctored it?

Plus the video itself is super sketch - a guard walks in with a bag, leaves it inside, a hooded figure comes in and leaves, and then he’s found dead… What???

I thought Epstein was just coerced into killing himself, because of the video now I think he was straight up assassinated

My brain can’t comprehend such a chain of unforced errors

Self examination. Question and challenge your beliefs constantly. Dig into anything that makes you uncomfortable especially

If you’re not growing, your views are not getting closer to the truth. There is no end point, only growth

You have to be kidding me… It’s like they’re not even trying

Okay? I’m frankly more worried about how they’re doing a genocide and killing medical care, but I still think meteorologists have shown their value through their absence

Lol. It already happened again in New Mexico…

You know, this has drastically increased my respect for meteorologists. I always thought they were convenient, but I generally just look outside for my weather

And I mean, I knew they were important for hurricanes and such… But holy shit, a few months after the cuts and rainstorms are killing dozens

I’m not sure you get the problem here

You can talk to an llm at any moment of any day. They will engage with you endlessly. They’re becoming the front end for search, and at some point might become the primary interface for your device

It’s a huge problem if they manage to make it a propoganda tool, and that’s the goal here

I literally do that. With real world customers, and real world payments and real world consequences running through the system, all the time.

I live in fear.

It’s a tool, our job is to collect tools in our toolbox and use them appropriately

TDD is great for when you want a really, really tight interface - whether it’s your exposed surface to customers or you’ve got a lot of people working on something, it makes sense to write the standard and code to it, instead of documenting after the fact

Otherwise… Well, in practice it’s an idiot proof methodology. That’s useful, but it is a lot of work

I think they removed the graphics of it, but not the effects when you have them in you party

Yeah, because we call it “climate change”. What does that even mean? Sounds long compromise to me

We’d be better off calling it “climate destabilization”

I mean… This is just legalizing existing behaviors. Put it on the list

I like the furries because they’re really accepting

But come on…Understanding how progressive movements fail and how it’s usually because the CIA destabilized the regime actually matters.

Especially now. Less circle jerking, more historical analysis with clear messaging

Yeah, but what do you do with that? Just give up?

You’re not going to convince everyone, but every once in a while someone will dig into it. It keeps the knowledge alive

Yo, put up some context or you’re just circle jerking. Not everyone knows those historical deep takes, everyone not in the know will dismiss this as some level of conspiracy theory without sauce

Messaging matters

Amateur. My dream job was just to exist in nature without a job, just creating to create, and instead I’m constantly tempted with employment

They don’t stop speeding just like harsher penalties don’t stop most kinds of crime

If you want people to slow down, you paint the lanes smaller, make them narrow regularly, add roundabouts and plastic bollards between the lanes - you have to actually address the problem, which is the speed people feel natural driving at on any given road

The ones you can go after are the people weaving between traffic and racing, but I doubt a letter in the mail is going to do much

Nah, they’re actually fantastic at brain numbing tasks. I like to feed it sql tables and have it act like an ORM, but without the tradeoffs of an ORM. I’d never do it manually, but it’s far more readable and easy to work with

I also love using it for api’s. You can feed it a response, say “hey, I just want the id, status, and amount” (or whatever) and it’ll restructure the data for you

These are not hard problems… They are tedious ones though. They solve a problem by brute force, a problem we “solve” over and over because at the end of the day: programmers are lazy.

You can over engineer complex bindings until the cows come home, but a simple pattern with each field explicitly mapped is the best solution. It’s just really, really annoying to actually do it

This is fucking stupid. It’s when you concentrate as group in a place. That fucking simple. And it’s, it’s always horrible

You get hit by a baseball. Then you’re cursed with an overwhelming fear of getting hit by baseballs

This compels you to get protective equipment and hide behind a guy (who’s entire job is to catch the ball if it makes it past the batter)
