LINQ is… pretty nice.

Seriously. Want monads? LINQ is monads!

Programming would be great, if it wasn’t for computers (and users, too, but those would stay away without the damn computers).

(Don’t get me wrong, I love computers, they’re great, as long as they stay turned off.)

I like the functional parts of C♯, though.

The images on the article clearly show that they’re not storing the data, they’re storing enough information about the data to reconstruct a rough and mostly useless approximation of the data (and they do so in such a way that the information about one piece of data can be combined with the information about another one to produce another rough and mostly useless approximation of a combination of those two pieces of data, which was not in the original dataset).

It’s like playing a telephone game with a description of an image, with the last person drawing the result.

The legal and ethical failure is in commercially using artists’ works (as a training model) without permission, not in storing or even reproducing them, since the slop they produce is evidently an approximation and not the real thing.

Because they intentionally broke the search engines in order to make LLMs look better.

Search engines used to produce much more useful results than LLMs ever will (even excluding the ones they make up), before google and microsoft started pushing this garbage.

It stores the shape of the information, not the information itself.

Which might be useful from a statistics and analytics viewpoint, but isn’t very practical as an information storage mechanism.

One means nothing. You need a much bigger sample size to reach any significant conclusions.

Also, actually providing any aid would interfere with the experiment, so don’t.

The stuff those things eat, they’re surely toxic as fuck. Plus, they’re parasites, animal cruelty shouldn’t apply to them. Exterminate them with extreme prejudice. Also, they’re birds. Should’ve gone extinct 65 million years ago with the rest of their ilk.

just throw them away

If I get my hands on one of those things I’m not throwing it away before repeatedly smashing it as hard as I can against the most solid surface I can find in the vicinity. Or against another seagull, if possible.

Microsoft Bob.

Oh shit, the dumbass said the quiet part out loud again. 🤦‍♂️

— Oil cartels.

It really takes a special kind of (lack of) talent to manage to be such a colossal loser while being the wealthiest man alive.

Heh. They reminded me of these three goofs:

They’re made out of meat.

They’re called sperm whales because of the spermaceti organ, which is probably used to make them loud as fuck, and which contains a liquid which whalers mistook for sperm.

But we made bananas (and most other fruits) the way they are!

Fucking good for nothing gods, always taking credit for things we humans did all by ourselves…

the Bureau was unable to do so

Did they try copying and pasting?

We can’t “be done with it” as long as guns are allowed to be manufactured and any random lunatic is allowed to have one.

The fact that a tool whose only purpose is to kill people is even allowed to exist outside history museums boggles the mind in its monstrosity.

Seriously, someone needs to fix that as soon as possible.

And I don’t mean by changing the name.
