Ah such a sad anecdote. I’m a fan of Hamilton.

As I understand it, he doesn’t tend to delete posts.

I dislike this.

(Edit: I downvoted, but I felt that wasn’t enough.)

It’s such a shame. I feel like programmers were way more left only a decade or so ago.

Interesting. Literally all my friends like Rome and especially Greece. They’re big into e.g. percy jackson (or at least were when they read YA novels), hades, and so on.

search engines hardly index lemmy unfortunately. Probably due to having too much repeated content on different URLs.

People selling the stock does not cause the stock value to lower. For every sale there is a purchase. What causes the stock to lower is people willing to sell for cheaper.

This is possibly true due to the bias of the people who made it. But I reject the notion that because ChatGPT is made of code per se that it must understand code better than other subjects. Are humans good at biology for this reason?

I see no horses posted – oh, right

I said not true in general. I don’t know much about chemistry. It may be more true in chemistry.

Coding is different. In many situations it can be cheap to test or eyeball the output.

Crucially, in nearly any subject, it can give you leads. Nobody expects every lead to pan out. But leads are hard to find.

be the change you want to see. Post and upvote.

I kind of find that (2) is pretty pervasive though. I think it’s one of lemmy’s biggest flaws right now. That’s why I was so careful with the quotes, but I guess it backfired (sorry). Hopefully we can all take a chill pill collectively at some point…

Help retain users by discussing more than just politics

oh zuck is such a lizard-person.

Bezos’ entire personality gets me fuming; I would want to punch him even if he weren’t a billionaire. (Remember that time he talked over William Shatner touchdown?)

Musk honestly looks ok to me personally, I guess the gender-affirming surgeries went well. But the thought of what’s going on behind his eyes makes me want to punch him in the face real bad.

In other news, it’s guns that kill people.

I think copyright lasting 20 years or so is not unreasonable in our current society. I’d obviously love to live in a society where we could get away with lower. As a compromise, I’d like to see compulsory licensing applied to all written work. (E.g., after n years, anyone can use it if they pay royalties and you can’t stop them; the amount of royalties gradually decreases until it’s in the public domain.)

I hate zuckerburg as much as anyone, but I find his face surprisingly low on the punchability index. Musk and Bezos at 1 and 2 for me.

The most generous interpretation of this that I can give is, “if I ransack the government, the government won’t be able to kill millions.” Questionable logic.

The guy just enjoys adding to the number of times “Hitler” is said online.

let’s have a tier list of billionaires by face punchability.
