New name for the Cuck Chair just dropped

It’s not so much about estimating odds as it is limiting the potential downside. Hedging is the rational part of things lol

Psychedelics, man.

Because they’re like, cool, man.

As soon as I read “my wife” instead of “she”, I assumed the wife would be someone else, and there would be an accident with the ex

99% sure this is Luna, aka CrunchyCat, aka monkeycatluna, and she is indeed the scrunge queen.

The political views of a recommended lecturer, and even his own views on cancel culture aren’t the issue in my mind. In fact I agree with some of the nuances there.

The notion of rejecting a software lecture for the views of the presenter is kinda dumb. I don’t know the content of the lectures, to be fair, but I assume any irrelevant personal views aren’t part of it. Lashing out at Kovarex for the recommendation is dumb too, arguably more so.

It’s the statutory rape comment that I don’t like, which affects the benefit of the doubt as far as his other stances go. Still, I don’t think Factorio, or even Kovarex necessarily, should be “cancelled” here. Any backlash for his own comments is fair though.

I see now my comment didn’t reflect that as I only meant to convey my own disappointment, which is also nuanced.

Notch back in the day, now this dude who I had immense respect and admiration for. At least we still have Kyzrati (please no jinx). And I swear to God if Tarn or Zach ever fall from grace…

“Completely normal” takes that are on the level of “I’m not racist, but…”. That is the proof.

A take can be common, pervasive, and bigoted.

It is a loss if someone doesn’t feel comfortable supporting or even touching the game after hearing this. It’s a beloved game that unfortunately, but deservingly, will be tarnished by the dev’s public views.

Nearly irrelevant xkcd

At least in software we know where the linchpins are on some level.

Obviously there’s the overall juxtaposition, but I really like the proportional dampness.

Definitely the latter. I have a pet theory that 3rd rock is based on true events. Only an alien would be named, and physically manifested as, French Stewart.

We say poo butt… What an odd thing to have in common with a stranger on the internet lmao

The many tools around this are interesting. “Web clipping” I think is the generic phrase for it. I got kind of deep into it from of a desire to wrangle ADHD, and a bit of datahoarding and knowledge mapping. Omnivore is one I liked for text articles, and there’s super niche applications like Zotero.

Wait, for real? I really thought kagi had its own thing going on, and that was why people would pay for it. Not like a fully bespoke index, but I assumed it was more than that. I guess the “quality control” is what I had heard about.

He can’t ult again for a while, so it’s safe for now.

Being the change you want to see in the world. I like it.

From what I’ve seen of interchangeable sets, these don’t look bad! Not a bad join at least. Are the needles fairly solid?

I bent a pair of hiyahiya sharps accidentally sitting on them lol. Luckily it worked out bending it back with just a slight crease.

4?? Also, the screenshot reminds me of hedgehog launch. Pulled it right out of the recesses of my memory.

I was like “but the other three are real words…”

Apparently diminutive is the only one that doesn’t trace its origin to the book. TIL! Funny how language works.

I wouldn’t say “the cloud” is exactly in the same realm. It’s broad and definitely had its heyday being thrown around in marketing, but it’s a very real facet in modern software. More specialized and actually useful AI will probably end up in a similar place eventually.

I think I’m talking myself out of my original point though lol. Kind of conflated LLMs and AI at first. I just wish LLMs weren’t the only things with money behind them.
