You see, I’m a “no code” developer. /s

I’m a programmer, and I’ve heard many programmers advocate for using “AI”. I surround myself with those that reject it (primarily for ethical reasons), but the ones at my last job seemed to like it.

Anyway, the whole industry has actually been built on vibes for at least a generation. C is bad. JS is worse. We have better languages that had better tooling and better semantics since before either of those were invented, but they were ignored in order to build an edifice to Capital on sand. Since then, the actual computer scientists (that study that branch of mathematics) have made much better languages and done studies to provide evidence they are easier to learn and produce a lower fault rate. That has been consistently ignored.

Adopting “AI” is just another step before the whole industry collapses, and we restart on better foundations and salvage what is absolutely necessary.

I don’t know what the next foundation actually is, or how stable it can even be when it’s built on this von Neumann trash instead of a proper Harvard Architecture. /s (I hope the foundation is related to GRTT or QTT.)

Fiddlesticks. “marblegargler” is perfectly cromulent. ;)

Is that a dictionary for witches? Or did you misspell wiktionary?

Whatever can be destroyed by the truth should be destroyed by the truth. (https://quoteinvestigator.com/2016/03/13/destroy/)

Our good girl has only caught one squirrel, but she never loses them due to speed or even maneuvering, it’s because they cross the fence or climb a tree where she can’t follow.

She has “caught” a few baby rabbits, that were still trying to hide instead of evade. I’ll bet you are right about her being unable to keep up with an mature rabbit.

Well, maybe I’ll try again in the future but I don’t currently own a Samsung.

I guess the answer to at least one of those is no. Last time I tried a battery replacement, I broke the screen either during assembly or disassembly. I build my own desktop PCs, and have fixed laptop monitors and drives, but every time I attempt hardware repair on something phone-ish, I make it worse (even going back to when I owned an OpenMoko).

Popular and profitable things do way more damage no matter how “uncool” they are. Boomers making minion images will only worsen the problem.

There’s no option for me to choose a copyright-free world. But, I can choose to not use (or promote or propagate) works made by “AI” owned my MASSIVE corporations in violation of the copyrights of millions of independent, often non-profit-driven content creators (including myself).

Nah, it’s just new and improved: with Wings! (to stay in the right place all night long)

Clarke’s Maxim: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Corollary / Contrapositive: Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

When the environment is energetic enough, the electromagnetic force and the weak force unify into the electroweak force. The weak interaction controls radioactive decay.

We can control electromagnetic force “at scale”, IMO. It’s not freely, but we have networks of electromagnetic systems that span continents.

If we could control the weak force at the same scale… I’m not sure what wonders we might unlock. At the very least, I imagine we could “clean” instead of just “contain” radioactive waste, at least low-level stuff.

When we figure out how to manipulate elctro-weak at scale, it will be magic.

Electro-mag is pretty crazy already, I agree. The ICP can’t even figure out how they work.

I think the Catholic Church does Latin because that was the language the first pope (Saul/Paul) was given his revelation in.

Omniscient being(s) would, of course, understand any language.

The weave/astral is manipulated by intelligence/will and the somatic component if any is just to provide caster focus.

I wonder if could be an age component, too? Artificial lighting used to be a lot more yellow. “Party” lighting tends to be more blue.

I think that’s the Dewey decimal system, which inspired the Chewy decimal system, which is the next innovation in grocery store layouts.

I think you are probably right.

“sign jokes” are probably written by “the room”. Everyone tosses out 2-3, and the whoever is running the room for that episode picks one. They might even keep a backlog for these since they don’t really have to be related to the episode plots/topics. Simpsons and Futurama also have them in many episodes, but Bob’s Burger’s is the only show I know that always has one (two if you count the “Burger of the Day”).

Agreed. I tend toward more literal translations for instruction/explanation – it made things stick better for me when learning Spanish. But, yes, in context “harder” is a definitely a more useful translation.
