Here I am, an American using libreoffice, with even less of an idea about what’s going on

Does this mean we were conned into accidentally domesticating cats?

Screw haunted houses, this is a real cursed house

Early adolescence and the dot com bubble gave me the impression that the world used to suck, but now it would be sick. It got too sick, too nasty.

One of many things I heard as a kid and went “wtf, no”

Same with a 40-hour, 40-year career. You mean I have to follow all these adult rules, go to school 6 hours a day all these years feeling like I’m in prison… To graduate to literal slavery or else… Prison? When does living actually come in?

5 year old me already wondered what the point was and knew I wanted off the ride. Not necessarily in a depressed way, but a way that said “this ain’t it, chief”.

I grabbed a banglejs a while back for cheap embedded funzies, and it’s really stellar as a hackable companion device that you don’t use much, or at least in fairly passive or niche ways. Espruino is really cool though, and that’s the heart of the project.

I wonder how this compares as a higher-end (maybe only other?) FOSS watch, mostly on the battery/power ratio. I actually don’t know much about the pebble design.

That’s four hills, brother

Blasphemy! Pics or it didn’t happen! Wait…

In his defense, teenagers are annoying as fuck.

I’m so sorry

😂

all I’m sayin’ is it’s kinda silly to call the Steam Controller a new product like the other two

Valve can indeed count to three.

Steam controller

New

(X) doubt

It looks to me like the cat would have to be stuffed into the pocket, so there’s that. There might be an opening on the other end to crawl through though.

I can    not

I think the point is that the “incomplete subset of capabilities” is inherent to our model of mathematics, and the framework indeed cannot possibly simulate the fundamental processes of reality

There’s a certain understanding of what is and isn’t decidable by means of Computation (capital C), and it’s fundamental to the formalized systems of logic that define computers.

From what I can glean, they show that some modern theories in physics display logical properties that we know cannot arise from a formalized computational system.

To be fair, I feel like that only means the universe can’t be described by internal computation, not that some hyper-logical model of computation couldn’t exist to drive it all from “above”… It’s fundamental, so not like a higher spatial dimension, but a sort of “conceptual” one we can’t re-articulate? 50% confused and 50% talking out of my ass tbh

Just let me boil the holy water

Fucked-up-ness and the kid’s trauma aside, “Most swatted by clankers for chips” will make a pretty good superlative in the yearbook

It’s shocking just how biased the third is despite sounding (relatively) reasonable and unbiased. But bias is the entire nature of AI, that’s the whole point: biasing a machine to transform and distill data to arrive at a desired output.

Really, the instant anything is made into a process with or without AI there’s bias, and it’s inescapable.

ETA: I guess what I’m getting at is

Because: Human behaviour can be fixed. With the right measurements, biased people/racists can be retrained or taken off-duty.

is bias in and of itself

It’s kind of a thing
