Alignment does not improve readability. Indentation is crucial, alignment is asinine.

Stop aligning stuff. I don’t even use a monospaced font.

Yes. I think I read a blogpost from Backblaze about running their Red Pod rack mounted chassis some 10 years ago. They would just keep the failed drives in the chassi. Maybe swap out the entire chassi if enough drives died.

Yes. I invented the Trie data structure when I was 19. It was very exciting finding out it had a name, and it was indeed considered a good fit for my use case.

It has been suggested that time too is derived from entropy. At least the single-directionality of it. That’d make entropy one of the most real phenomena in physics.

LLMs? Sounds backwards to me. It’s not like there is a lot of text to process up there.

Yes. Threatening to block export of parts to pressure other countries into buying f35 guarantees no one will ever pick american made engines again.

I’d say it is not intelligent. At all. Not capable of any reasoning, understanding or problem solving. A dog is vastly more intelligent than the most capable current ai. The output sometimes looks intelligent, but it can just as well be c

Sad to see ”mens rights” lumped in with misogyny and fascism. While women in general face much worse hardships, there are several social issues that predominantly affect men. I that feel this lumping-together is part of the problem. It stig

It did. Or perhaps it was because I dualbooted 98 and 2k. All my warez were on a fat32 to be accessible from both. Somehow the audio in my mp3 collection got replaced with audio from my movies.

The problem is, you might dream the joke is very witty, but when you wake up, you realize it is completely nonsensical. Your brain didn’t really dream the joke. It dreamt the emotional response to it. The joke itself was just a prop. Not su
