Oh my god my framerate! How the hell do you make a WEBSITE lag?!

LLMs are never going to become superintelligent. However, an LLM WILL kill us all if someone decides that it IS superintelligent and so puts it in charge of nuclear weapons.

"You're right to push back on that, I nuked Albania instead doing what I was supposed to do, that's my bad".

Accelerationism isn't just being apathetic, it's actively making things worse. It's voting for Trump because the DNC didn't elect Bernie Sanders.

Lenin was much the same. He knew a revolution wouldn't happen if things got better, so he did everything he could to make things as bad as humanly possible. When the provisional government came along, granted free speech rights and universal suffrage, Lenin was vehemently opposed to it, because you can't have a communist revolution when stuff is going well. A stable government is not one you can overthrow.

Anyone who complains about code not compiling on the first try likely hasn't been coding for very long. Getting your code to do what you tell it is easy, getting it to do what you want is hard.

That's a wildly optimistic take. ICE will kill you, whether you're obeying them or not.

I think that's a tad excessive. Sure, Windows sucks, but it's not my machine so I don't give a shit. Now, if they expected me to bring my own machine and also insist that it's Windows, I'll get pissed off and refuse the offer. Their machine though? They can demand whatever they want, so long as I can actually do my job.

9/10 times it's not Windows I'm fighting against when I'm unable to do my job, it's the IT department not giving me admin rights over the right folders so I can't even install Docker without spending 3 days with them to get the right permissions.

So this is going to cause a bit of a panic so one of two things will happen:

1. Nvidia, AMD and Intel all massively cut the prices of their GPUs to try to make it so Lisuan can't compete
2. Nvidia, AMD and Intel give Donald Trump a big bag of money and demand they ban Lisuan GPUs from being used anywhere in western supply chains.

I dunno... You can be straight and still consider someone of the same sex attractive, just not so attractive that you'd want to sleep with them.

I'm ace and I find both Tom Ellis and Jenna Coleman attractive, but that doesn't mean I want to sleep with them, or anyone really.

8GB RAM isn't even enough to run Teams + Windows 11 on corporate PCs, not with all the other bullshit they make you install.

I'm still not basically disabling most of my PC's security to play pirated games though.

The only times I've seen devs do inline comments in their code is when it's been done by AI, and I can tell it's AI because the comments are all useless and describing what's happening, not why.

I wouldn't call her entrepreneurially minded. She fully intended just to make a single coat and keep it herself. If she were intending on making it a business, she should have been setting up a Dalmatian farm with the 101 puppies and then mass produce the coats. Inbreeding health defects don't matter all that much when you're just gonna be skinning any puppies born within weeks.

You have 4 in your library, but only 1 is installed; it's Call of Duty. Since there's no need for physical media anymore, the footprint of games has ballooned to the point where if you want to install CoD, it's going to cost you 2TB of storage. They threw in 8k textures just for the 0.0001% of players that actually have an 8k TV, and there are a lot of textures since the Big Chungus update which introduced 255 different coloured Chungus textures for every weapon and weapon attachment combination in the game.

In other words "I'm going to take out a shitload of debt, buy your company with it, and then make YOU pay it off or go bankrupt. EIther way I win"

So why do we need Jensen Huang?

Dude must be a vampire or something because in the Bible it says you can eat meat, you just can't drink the blood, which is why you should drain the blood from any animal you slaughter before consuming the flesh. If we're going by Christian depictions of angels then I assume we're going by Christian afterlives and commandments.

Only 150 light years away?! Wow, that's practically next door! Now all we need to do is figure out how to go light speed and even then it'll take a further 300 years just to know if the colonists got there safely or not!

So there's a few problems with that plan:

1. If you leave Narnia, you will eventually forget Narnia. First it's like a dream, then a dream of a dream, and then you just completely forget ever having gone.

2. The same applies in reverse. You will eventually forget Earth and spend your time in Narnia instead.

3. You can't go to Narnia without Aslan taking you there. The Professor, who was infact one of the entities present at the creation of Narnia, tells the Pevensies that they won't be getting back to Narnia through the wardrobe again.

4. Even if you could pass through to Narnia on command, there is a varying degree of time dilation between Narnia and Earth. The entirety of Narnia's 2,555 year existence is compressed into 50 years on Earth, but the first 1000 years of that existence was compressed into the first 40 years of the timeline, and the remaining 1,555 was in that final 10 years. Also, you can spend 10 minutes in Narnia and end up having been gone for weeks on Earth, so the time dilation goes both way and is pretty inconsistent then too.

I want to enjoy Idiocracy, but there's this undercurrent of eugenics in there that I'm not ever so fond of...

I remember when my mum used to say "Don't bother your dad, he's on the internet" like it was this big important thing. Not "He's checking his email", or anything more specific, the simple act of being on the internet was actually of note.
