  • If you could somehow, instantly and completely, be natively fluent in any five languages, what would they be?

  • In addition to English:

    1. Cantonese (My partner's family is from Hong Kong and they all speak either exclusively Cantonese or a mix of Cantonese and English that they rapidly switch between mid sentence. Makes family gatherings... frustrating. They used to think I actually understood Cantonese because I was fluent at picking out the context of what they said in English and then using other context clues to figure out WTF they just said XD)
    2. Mandarin (Most common language on Earth aside from English)
    3. Spanish (Also one of the most common languages on Earth)
    4. Russian (Becoming more and more useful as things keep happening)
    5. French (My neighbors to the north have a lot of French-speakers. Plus I can sound all cultured and shit. Even having an absolute meltdown of swearing and curse words still sounds kinda sexy in French XD)

  • Look homey. Shit absolutely sucks ass. Nothing is going well fucking anywhere. But we all still make it through the churn. Everything is fucking hard. We don't get easy mode. We all get full-ass late-stage capitalism mode. And it fucking sucks. But we have to keep fighting. We're going to have to do this shit forever. It's our lot in life. Unfortunate for us, but the world we can create for those who come after is what makes it worthwhile.

    I love you homey, and I love shitposting with you. Never give up.

  • While I love the idea, I've worked with too many architects that give absolutely zero consideration to HVAC. Like AC just magically happens because you have a condenser on the roof.

  • LLMs are at best very interesting toys rife with ethical issues. Why are they being shovelled into everything?

  • What is going on?

    Business idiots. People have this bizarre perception that if someone has a bunch of money that they must be "smart." I mean, you're on hexbear, so I probably don't have to explain that. It's clearly false.

    So why are they everywhere?

    Again, business idiots. If you, as an incompetent moron, could hypothetically boost your quarterly earnings by firing laying off workers while getting kind of, sort of, I guess, the same output, what would you do? I remind you that your entire career relies on this. You make the cuts, or you get cut. So you roll out the LLM bullshit. And sure, it's cheap now. We can weather the expense. Until you need it for your company to function. Then they jack up the price. Because what are you going to do? You already fired everybody. The LLM is running everything. You have no idea how anything even works anymore. You pay it or you go out of business.

    It is a weapon.

  • Ostentatious garbage. Gaudy, tacky, generally hideous. Didn't the French start building shit like this shortly before the Revolution?

    Also, as an MEP professional: where's the HVAC at? Going to get real stuffy in there real fast. I see zero diffusers. Also given the fucking marble ceiling, there will be no "acceptable" place to put any air outlets. So no AC, no outside air. Just a bunch of old-ass republicans farting into a closed box. Lighting also looks way under code.

    Who's the fucking architect so I can make sure I never waste my time with them?

    anymore. I was on there a little while ago reading a comment thread and the whole conversation just devolved into people calling each other bots. No opinions, no facts, nothing. Just "You're a bot!" "NO U!" Fuck sake.

  • Ions are great once you're up in space, provided time isn't a factor. Unfortunately without investing in launch loops, or space elevators, or orbital rings, or rotavators, or other such technologies, getting out of Earth's gravity well is the really expensive part that will still require liquid-fueled rockets. But I hard agree: we should be investing in getting out into space (rather than blowing each other up.)

    We fight over land and territory. Solution: make it easy to just leave. Go make your own territory. Space provides that opportunity. The problem: then the people that do become ungovernable. They might go out into the black and do fully-automated luxury gay space communism. And we can't have that.

  • Ahh yes... "Starship." That piece of crap that has only managed to deliver a flaming banana to the Indian Ocean at mach 10. Once. The rest of the time it breaks up into a debris field before it can even manage that much. Yeah, I'm sure that'll happen any day now. Right around the same time as FSD that was set to be rolling out about 10 years ago.

    But no, let's rediscover rocket science from first principles because the last 60 years of established doctrine don't "move fast and break things" enough. Absolute fucking morons.

    I'm also reminded of that 1950s slogan of "Energy so cheap you won't even meter it!" Yeah still waiting on that one too 75 years later.
