I think you’ve misjudged the culture here
662.
by bowsamic 2y ago
I’m from working class England and that’s absolutely not the culture for us. Education is considered superfluous unless it makes you money
663.
by bowsamic 2y ago
I’m glad to be proven wrong. I’m English btw. We learnt nothing about America but we learnt everything about King Henry VIII
664.
by bowsamic 2y ago
Yes, those things cannot be blamed
665.
by bowsamic 2y ago
No one that I know of in Europe gets taught this
666.
by bowsamic 2y ago
No. I like the current system and I will continue to use it even if OP somehow manages to make everyone switch over, which they won’t manage to

I find it weird when people take a long time for these little things. My wife still struggles with the German numbers (85 = fünfundachtzig) and the half thing with time (8:30 = halb neun) even though I managed to switch over to those very q

It’s just greenwashing but for tobacco

I have no idea how this relates to the conversation
671.
by bowsamic 2y ago
I don't know what you mean, sorry
672.
by bowsamic 2y ago
There's a fine line between "I don't need to understand" and "I have no idea what's going on". At some point it becomes unworkable and you have to give up.

I honestly found even the preface insufferable
674.
by bowsamic 2y ago
Well the issue is that people panic, since honestly I think we are very insecure about our media literacy
675.
by bowsamic 2y ago
I think so yes
676.
by bowsamic 2y ago
I agree, that's the definition
677.
by bowsamic 2y ago
Except I am still discussing the point: the companies won't stop getting an ROI because "slop" still produces an ROI, even if people know it's slop, because it isn't contentless noise, it has semantic content. Just
678.
by bowsamic 2y ago
Yes

I have a PhD in physics and even physics itself is in a poor state, yet I totally get why all the other sciences envy physics: they're even worse
680.

> it's basically conjectures pilled upon one another. It's not just archeology, history is not much better either. They're both basically pseudosciences
681.
by bowsamic 2y ago
So I was right, you did use it sarcastically, since you are still naive
682.
by bowsamic 2y ago
Addressed above

Adverts have semantic content, they aren't noise.
684.
by bowsamic 2y ago
No, I'm not being over-literal. Here's why: Yes, it could be that for you a given advert is irrelevant or not worth your while, but the point he was making is that it won't even be worth it for the advertiser to put out t
685.
by bowsamic 2y ago
What is "just slop" though? A spam advert for a product is still an advert for a product. Therefore it's not just semantic noise, it is still an advert for a product, and therefore his point is invalid: there is an ROI and pe

No, there are many things technology has improved, not ruined
687.
by bowsamic 2y ago
“maybe, just maybe” “One can dream.” You’ve either used these sarcastically, or accurately. I think you’ve done the former, but the truth is the latter.
688.
by bowsamic 2y ago
The emails are discernible from noise though. They literally have a signal to noise ratio higher than one. Noise would be pure rng output. So I don’t know what you’re getting at
689.
by bowsamic 2y ago
Well the goal is to create companies or teams with a consistent sense of what is positive vs a flaw

There's such a thing as righteous hate
