Do English people know that they originated “soccer” as Oxford slang for “association football?” Nothing hits like the English ignorantly shitting on their colonies for adopting the stupid English practices forced upon them by the English at the time.

Substack bans pornography but allows Nazis.

This is clearly a derivative of the work done by Doctor Emmett Brown in the mid 1950s.

UDP is yeet-based

My favorite Cornel West game is to see how long until he mentions jazz, bonus points if it’s a compound word.

In this article, it’s

“We want to be jazz-like, in terms of raising all of the different voices,” he added.

Wow, coming outta nowhere to sideswipe Mississippi for no apparent reason, great work you’re doing here.

Agreed, bsky is currently developing and testing its federation capabilities with multiple servers in-house, which is an elaborate way of scaling but doesn’t actually have the critical necessary component for a federation, ie another entity on the other side. Bsky is the sole operator, administrator, moderator, and arbiter.

As a jazzman,

High-speed rail connecting every North American city.

Warp core engineers: we need redundancies and safeguards here, here, and here

Bridge console engineers: don’t forget the high-voltage rail and the concussive feedback blasters

Chair engineers: fuck seatbelts wooooo

Cool

Admittedly I’m an amateur, but I consider “automation” to encompass algorithms, heuristics, cron jobs, shell scripts, lambdas, basically anything created to do some steps that we’ve already figured out. As I understand it, machine learning uses statistical algorithms. The article makes the process sound like heuristics, though:

“K-ECAN uses basic information already readily available in the EHR, like patient demographics, weight, previous diagnoses and routine laboratory results, to determine an individual’s risk of developing esophageal adenocarcinoma and gastric cardia adenocarcinoma,” said Rubenstein.

I wouldn’t consider any of that kind of automation to be “intelligence.” Most of the stuff we currently call “AI” is the best form of automation that we can create right now, but it’s still not AGI.

This is not “intelligence.” This is automation.

The original post in this thread said:

Using a MacOS, even with all its flaws it’s such a clean experience compared to [Windows].

I agree with that. If you don’t, that’s okay.

The Mac can run MacOS. That was the point of this thread, that MacOS is less junked up than Windows.

“Oh, ay, you got yourself a nice, beauty-ful brand over here. You got your followers, you got your eggs. Very nice. It would just be a cryin’ shame if somebody was to

What are they gonna call tweets now?

Let me be clear

Either read the article or go away.

Bash isn’t the only shell. Most systems can use zsh or fish or tcsh or whatever shell you prefer, if you like that better than bash. You’re gonna have to run a shell if you want to use the terminal, though, you understand that?

Shell scripts are very good for specific tasks. Don’t use them for tasks that are unsuitable. Use python or go or node or c if those are better for your needs. Use the right tool for the job. But also, learn to understand why the industry has been using shell scripts for decades.
