Best advice I got about parenting wasn’teven about parenting necessarily, it was about interacting with other adults. I got it shortly before I became a parent myself: “Listen to advice, but understand everyone is full of shit”

People love to speak in absolutes. Nobody speaks about adults like they’re a simple 1+1=2 equation but will absolutely insist children are that simple.

Which is frankly insane. Its the opposite. Culture homogonizes us, adults are much simpler than children, they’ve spent a lifetime being battered into a societal mould. Kids are still exactly themselves.

I’m really glad I got that advice, or reading through these miserable catty comments from people who clearly have all the answers would be really harmful.

I feel like a lot of people start from a conclusion and work backwards to find the justification.

My point is that if you shouldn’t be paying anyone for shitty comments.

I’m baffled at how the author just glosses over how the emoji for 5 doesn’t work “because functions can’t start with a number”.

This seems to imply there is some kind of textual substitution going on, which further implies I could call an emoji named function by some other plaintext name.

When you start to bump into any of these concerns, I’d recommending extracting the functions themselves, rather than breaking the pipeline… which was not something mentioned or explored.

//assign a as a function of aa,aaa,A,a3, and a2

Nailed it

So… indistinguishable from the statistical mean of human generated comments.

I got a LITTLE bit further than you.

Boils down to “make the ‘close enough’ number have some real meaning in your domain instead of just picking an arbitrarily small one”

… at least to my read. Again, like you, didn’t finish.

Oh, ok yah. It might not be vim. It could literally be anything. I just thought I’d missed something

It’s a rare but not unheard of scenario for a US citizen to serve as a foreign head of state. A brief read makes it sound like a thorny issue. The US could theoretically attempt to strip his citizenship. Sounds like there was a Supreme Court decision in 1980 that would make that difficult… but there is a new Supreme Court.

I’d argue this has incredible artistic value. And I think that was the point.

Why?

The original image was propaganda political persuasive media. This image is also propaganda political persuasive media.

As gross as AI slop is, as much as I don’t want it to exist at all, if I want to exist in reality I have to accept that it does.

A significant reason for MAGAs ascension and persistence is they’re better at propaganda political persuasive media. For MAGA-resisting groups to refuse to employ effective and efficient propaganda political persuasive media tooling on principle is just an extension of how we got here in the first place.

In the same way an armed populace is more difficult to oppress, a cultural war is easier when you’re not imposing self-inflicted munitions restrictions on yourself while your opponents use those same munitions to significant effect.

You can count me in like that but I insist a full measure of Mars, Bringer of War.

Well, five is right out.

My idiot cat loves vacuums. Dives in front if them like they’re security taking a bullet for some VIP.

She wants to get vacuumed. Makes hair management pretty easy since she’ll enthusiastically let us vacuum the source.

That is roughly the premise of Beavis and Butthead

I actually think it’s morally correct to strip stone toss or Scott Adam’s names from thier works.

The minute I saw his squint I just instinctively got into a staring contest. Didn’t read the words. Last frame, eyes are closed. I won.

Great comic. No idea what it was about.

To refine that even further, he doesn’t appear to imply that the dev isn’t WORKING hard enough, only that they’re not being OPTIMALLY PRODUCTIVE.

What he’s trying to do, really is float and normalize the concept of baking tokens into HR math in terms of a “golden ratio”… which happens to be 2:1.

So, when a company goes all in on ai, and they cut thier workforce in half, they’ll need to add in 50% for tokens. 50% of the original staff, at a new 150% cost, puts the company at 75% pre ai workforce cost. This is the “guidelines” they’re trying to normalize.
