It all works because it’s fantasy my friend

They’re scum for the grift but flappy bird doesn’t deserve a trademark. US IP laws are draconian enough.

Not op - as far as I can tell they weren’t particularly warcrimey for WW2.

They killed a bunch of German POWs during the invasion of Sicily and killed 20 civilians while burning down a town for a supposed civilian killing a commander (turned out it was an enemy combatant).

Both deeply abhorrent but not “inventing new crimes”

Ayn Rand here ain’t black

Ok.

Say the N word then.

Go yell it at people.

Do it.

Go on.

Is it a home you own or rental? Apartment?

If it’s a single family home you should seriously consider the pricey upgrades to insulation. It could cut hundreds off your bill.

But it could also be a better investment to get solar panels in that case.

Oh I’m 1000% in agreement with you. I think Copilot for programming is more expensive than it’s worth right now, both for my employer and for Microsoft.

OpenAI et al have done nothing to address the fundamental issue of hallucinations. In code hallucinations are pretty quickly evident: your IDE immediately throws up error highlights whenever the code complete fucks up.

The latest open AI model is to chain together a computational centipede to try and create reasoning structures out of stochastic processes. It takes longer and still doesn’t fix the issues. In their own demo video there are clear bugs with the “code” their 4o model writes.

Ish.

You’ll have assertions that are entirely new or different, other pieces of setup or teardown. It really is one of the best use cases for GH’s Copilot that I’ve run across.

In my day to day the intellij autocomplete is what I prefer.

Yeah my usage of it is similarly limited. But the plagiarism engine is more useful than it is annoying in my experience. Especially in writing kdoc or unit test variations. Write one, write the name of the next, have autocomplete fill it out with the expected conditional variation

The plagiarism engine effect is exactly what you need for a good programming tool. Most problems you’re ever going to encounter are solved and GenAI becomes a very complex code autocomplete.

An LLM constructed only out of open source data could do an excellent job as a tool in this capacity. No theft required.

For writing prose it’s absolutely trash, and everyone using it for that purpose should feel ashamed.

I think Hoffman is a great starting point for people going from a cup of Dunkin every morning to something more interesting (and drinkable).

That’s because officially Putin knows who he supports has negative connotations for the electorate.

Whoever Putin visibly puts his weight behind is the opposite of who he wants to win.

And I don’t see them serving Panda Express in Beijing. The point is not authenticity it’s that different cultures take what they perceived to be another culture’s food and bend it to their preferences.

But mostly I was making a joke because of its name.

That’s Pizza Americana though

As you put it in your other comment: “ignorant cunt”

… Men are also ~20% larger than women on average. Is this count standardized by size of the person?

It’s the correct decision that will never happen - Children have no rights⁺ in modern society.

Any zealous religious parent being told they can’t bring up their child in their religion would throw an absolute shitfit.

⁺The only “right” of a child is framed in terms of parental responsibilities.

It’s not a misreading at all. In many fundamentalist sects (such as the one I left) that’s the dogmatic truth of those verses.

Everything material is sinful and holding you back.

I have lived with and continue to love many religious people - that does not make them rational. That does not make their religious beliefs OK. With all the love in their hearts they still participate in evil and coercive control of others. They are particularly dangerous in that they believe in their heart of hearts that they are doing the right thing.

This is the reality of religion: it is dangerous, coercive, self propagating brain washing that forces people into shape. It creates panopticons. Window twitching neighbors that snitch and shun.

This is true of all religion. In Christianity it’s true of southern baptist and Lutheran’s and Christian scientists and episcopalians and Jehovah’s Witnesses and 7th day Adventists and Mormons and Catholics and Orthodox and …

I similarly left Christianity from a far more fundamentalist sect and yes: the coercion is significant on all levels. It’s scary once you realize what’s been going on.

It’s an incredibly controlling form of human culture and not given its due wariness.

all earthly possessions

Matthew 6:19-34 and Luke 18:22-25

Pretty unequivocal: give up everything and serve God.

there is no coercion within Islam to wear a hijab, kinda like how there is no coercion within Christianity to be a virgin.

The fuck there isn’t. Coercion in Christian sects is rampant. Your parents finding out you’re not a virgin will have you disowned in plenty of Christian households.

People who want to oppress women will do it regardless of means

And people who want to murder will do it regardless of means. That doesn’t allow us to throw up our hands and let murder cults exist. Instead we extirpate them, outlaw them, stamp them out both legally and culturally.

To distinguish them, just get their confidence and ask them in a safe environment.

Pragmatically speaking this is, unfortunately, the best we can hope for. I’m not talking about pragmatics here though: I’m talking about fundamentals. Theory. What is a truly polite society?

It’s not one where religious coercion is allowed to fester.
