  • It seems like a pretty good space filling method for a worm. Probably also has something to do with not eating away the leaf your worm body trailing behind you is clutching.

    What did you expect, the GilbertHilbert curve? Wait, is this actually a rough Hilbert curve?

    Edit: Gilbert? Why autocorrect? Why? I know no Gilberts. This is the first time I've ever intentionally typed Gilbert.

  • Beginner tutorials exist. Have you even tried looking? Linux has better documentation than anything I've seen in any other OS. Man pages, help files, and commented configuration files galore in just about every single Linux distro without any Internet needed, but it sounds like you never even bothered to look for them.

    Sure, assholes online exist in Linux communities, but they are EVERYWHERE. We've got a couple right right here. That doesn't exactly distinguish FOSS communities from any other.

    Generalizations about all of FOSS based on your limited experience with a few distros is just asinine. FOSS is way more than an operating system.

    Expecting a machine to hold your hand through your learning is such a weird form of entitlement and an especially weird distinction to make since no other operating system does that to the level you expect either.

    Corporations pay for support services. The code is free (as in speech). No one ever claimed that the support was also (or even should be) free. Microsoft support is a joke. Apple support is mostly just a sales scheme. Linux support forums might be hostile to entitled noobs looking for a handout and a quick fix, but they are fucking heros when given a chance to help those who put in the effort to help themselves.

  • I hate passwords

  • They must have been storing your password in plaintext on their end in order for that to work.

  • Barcelona

    Jump

  • This video says it both ways I've heard. The white people around me pronounce it like the one with the union jack (heavy emphasis on the B), the Spanish speakers pronounce it more like the version with the American flag background (ironic). Most of the other pronunciation videos I could find seem to be made by AI voices and mangle the pronunciation in a myriad of ways. This other video has an actual person speaking well (I can't speak to the rest of the content of the video).

  • I've been mocked and had some people outright pretend they don't understand what I'm saying when I pronounce guanábana correctly.

  • And the pineapple armor works wonderfully, until its enzymes digest you enough that the line between knight and pineapple becomes unclear, like Leto Atreides II covering himself in Sand Worm Trout and becoming the God Emperor of Dune.

  • They shouldn't be separate in the first place. It's just bad design that's prone to failure. And in this case that failure mode is VERY far from failsafe, it's potentially deadly.

  • That dog's smile definitely says, "I'm anxious. Can we leave?".

  • Too bad those "easily accessible manual releases" aren't the actual door handle and are hidden so well you'd never find them if you were unfamiliar with the vehicle.

  • They've used the exact same reasoning to excuse running down actual pedestrians on crosswalks.

  • If we eat three meals a day, why do we poop only once?

  • Almost as bad as once every 3 days!

  • It's not impolite to dig in and eat the food when it is fresh and hot.

  • Waymo trains its cars to NOT stop at crosswalks

    Jump

  • It's obvious now that you literally don't have any idea how programming or machine learning works, thus you think no one else does either. It is absolutely not some "black box" where the magic happens. That attitude (combined with your oddly misplaced condescension) is toxic and honestly kind of offensive. You can't hand waive away responsibility like this when doing any kind of engineering. That's like first day ethics-101 shit.

  • Waymo trains its cars to NOT stop at crosswalks

    Jump

  • Whether you call in it programming or training, the designers still designed a car that doesn't obey traffic laws.

    People need to get it out of their heads that AI is some kind of magical monkey-see-monkey-do. AI isn't magic, it's just a statistical model. Garbage in = Garbage out. If the machine fails because it's only copying us, that's not the machine's fault, not AI's fault, not our fault, it's the programmer's fault. It's fundamentally no different, had they designed a complicated set of logical rules to follow. Training a statistical model is programming.

    You're whole "explanation" sounds like a tech-bro capitalist news conference sound bite released by a corporation to avoid guilt for running down a child in a crosswalk.

  • Magnus Carlsen: Chess champion quits FIDE tournament after being told to change jeans

    Jump

  • I find this take fascinating because, although I also like watching athletes and sports, I see the fandom and names as a huge soap opera cast. I just can't keep up with any of it, the names, the injuries, the rivalries, the trades. It's all just a bunch of banal meaningless drama to me that I will never have the enthusiasm to track. It's all the same old shit from season to season with a rotating cast of hot young fools, just like General Hospital. As such I can't talk sports with people. I can watch, but the events wash over me without the same meaning or substance. For that reason, flamboyant and over-the-top drama (like hot tempers, trash talking, and general mischief) that happens during play is actually interesting as long as it isn't too unsportsman-like and doesn't interfere with the game too much. The soap opera drama is boring, the sports is interesting, but the performance and affectations are spicy.

    To be clear, your take is totally valid and I'm not really critical of it at all. I just have a different perspective.

  • Next time you tape over it, try this. Cut an old credit card, hotel key card, or something similar to just larger than the switch's recess. Tape only the top edge to the machine so that the stiff plastic or cardboard covers the switch, but can be lifted up and out of the way when you need to access it. I've used a similar trick to protect light switches I wanted to occasionally use, but not accidentally flip along with the other switches in the next gang over.
