I’m not convinced the author of this meme knows what “fungible” means

6·2 months agoIt should be noted that “strong typing” and “weak typing” don’t have the same precise definition as static/dynamic typing.
Guess I failed the Turing Test. Hope the humans don’t turn me off.
At some point when every human on earth that can use their service/product is already doing so, where else is there to go?
Ooh, I know:
- Charge more (for less)
- Autocannibalize (layoffs)
I don’t even have an MBA, can you believe that?
Can I interest you in an IBM WatchPad? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_WatchPad

I wrote my comment not to antagonize you but to point out that you’re asking the wrong questions. I failed to articulate that, and I’m sorry for being harsh.
Your prior comment indicated that you have used hash tables in Java, which were very fast. You said that your program accessed the hash tables, but did not “search” the table. These operations are the same thing, which led me to believe you’re out of your depth.
This last comment asks me how much this paper’s contribution speeds up an average program. You’re asking the wrong question, and you seem to be implying the work was useless if it doesn’t have an immediate practical impact. This is a theoretical breakthrough far over my head. I scanned the paper, but I’m unsurprised they haven’t quantified the real-world impact yet. It’s entirely possible that despite finding an asymptotic improvement, the constant factors (elided by the big O analysis) are so large as to be impractical… or maybe not! I think we need to stay tuned.
Again, sorry for being blunt. We all have to start somewhere. My advice is to be mindful of where the edge of your expertise lies and try to err on the side of not devaluing others’ work.
Everyone prepare for your minds to be blown:
Sorry to be blunt, but you don’t know what you’re talking about.

I don’t even capitalize pronouns for gods, why would I do it for you? Wait, are you saying you used to be a god?
You can’t just blame 18-26 year-olds. This was a failure across all age groups. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/interactive-how-key-groups-of-americans-voted-in-2024-according-to-ap-votecast
Brave and Opera are both forks of Chromium that incorporate upstream changes. Firefox is an entire browser.
I’m sympathetic if you’re living off the grid and don’t use public infrastructure. But the “sovereign citizens” that we usually hear about have already implicitly accepted the social contract and are now trying to weasel out of the consequences. The license plates that say “private; no license required” are just utter balogna.
That said, I’m completely in support of nonviolent resistance against unjust laws. But most sovereign citizens, in my estimation, are not protesting in support of any higher cause.
Nor I, as a sovereign citizen in the United States.
On that note, I suspect that a 25% tax is cheaper by far than the cost of building out state of the art silicon fab on US soil, plus the additional cost of paying Americans to do the manufacturing/assembly. Would you rather buy an iPhone for $1250 or $4000?
