The issue is two-fold: men/women want women/men they can't get, and they don't want the women/men they can get.

Cutting alcohol out of my life was one of the best decisions I ever made. Better health and more money in my wallet at the end of the week. But come on you gotta sleep, and you gotta have some fun, call it decompression if you want to be se

I think regex is going to be one of the last things LLMs really master, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

Got it, so the sound pressure is logarithmic, but the sound power is exponential, and you can control both at once with one knob, and they, align, quite well I guess.

This doesn't make any sense to me. Isn't this completely backwards? Wouldn't this behavior be expected from a logarithmic knob, and not a linear knob? I know what a logarithmic curve looks like, it rises quickly and then it t

I do find it a bit funny how all of these "democratized" and "decentralized" things always seem to come out the most centralized places, mostly New York. Of course, that's where the people are, so you know, it makes

I think part of it is, as the youth numbers decline, the culture declines with it. This is addressed in the video, people >18 and <40 are those who keep traditions and culture alive. If you somehow imported a bunch of babies who were

People certainly can make themselves neurodivergent, but I think most people are born that way. I think there are lots of reasons why CS and tech at large is full of neurodivergent people, but I think people are joinging because they are ne

I think part of it is that Y2K was 25 years ago now, and a lot of the devs working at that time are now 50-60-70 years old.

Why is Europe our ally? Why is Russia our enemy? Can the entire world be divvied up between allies/enemies of America? Perhaps so, but does it need to be that way? Can countries just be, other countries? This is what I don't under

Thats the thing about neurodivergence, it's a double edged sword I feel like. Like, all of the great men of history were extremely likely to be neurodivergent, so if you're a normal person with no mental illness, you kind of just

And there are still loads of people who swear those "stories" are true, about a billion of them for the first one actually, and billions others for other "stories". The thing is, these stories are qualitiatively differen

I would encourage you to change your mind! The vast, vast majority of humanity would consider you a moral monster for believing such a thing. Many awful, awful things "used to be normal", and many things we take for granted today,

From a guy's perspective, it feels like if you don't have hobbies (or the right hobbies) and you don't want to drink at a bar, you really don't have many options. For women I must imagine it must be quite similar, if you

Totally agree with you on chatbots, but you just committed the same "sin" as him! To most people, and probably to that chatbot, WiFi == Internet == Ethernet. Actually, I doubt specifying Ethernet would have helped him at all. When

The thing is, he was having trouble with his WiFi. He, like most computer scientists, is dedicated to the True Name of Things, which I can respect, but also, in this day and age, WiFi == Internet. I know it literally doesn't, but the u
