  The core of Christianity is internalizing the contradiction of three gods that are actually one. With the axiom that 3 = 1, you can prove anything. This is how you can believe that Jesus taught radical acceptance, but it’s okay to hate anyone who’s different than you.

  Chart showing average height, but incorrectly scales the entire person instead of just the height, …

  The sin committed here was that the y axis began at something other than zero. If you scaled just their height without fixing the y axis, everyone except the Dutch would look like little clay men getting squished by a hydraulic press.

  How would this be any different from more people existing in the world? These AGIs still need to eat (err, consume electricity). Or are you assuming they’ll be superior intelligences and thus disruptive?

  I know that free will doesn’t exist and I wouldn’t choose to have it any other way

  I’m not an engineer, I don’t know how it works. I can touch the transparent window without getting burned, so it appears the window is insulated.

  Maybe it works like this? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulated_glazing

  I hate when the dishwasher says it’s low on cyan gnomes, but I can see them right there

  My oven is super insulated, yet it still has a window

  It still blows my mind that a plant is illegal. One with medicinal uses, no less. What will they think of next? Banning sunshine?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump says a 25% tariff "must be paid by Apple" on iPhones not made in the US, says he told Tim Cook long ago that iPhones sold in the US must be made in the US⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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?

  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?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am just silly⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like a stray photon flipper your sign bit on. You can flip it back with this:

  num_milks ^= 1 << (sizeof(num_milks) * 8 - 1);

  Your typical weirdos would bring home six milks, but programmers would come home with seven.

  It’s illuminating to ask an LLM a question, and then say it was wrong. In my experience they will do a 180 every time.

  The Orville was actually pretty good. This may be heresy, but it felt more like Star Trek to me than some of the nu-Trek shows coming out. And for the record I can’t stand Family Guy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A young computer scientist and two colleagues show that searches within data structures called hash tables can be much faster than previously deemed possible.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  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 content 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.
