people who don’t care to do those things are using ai for them, leaving the people who do care, and usually spent a large part of their life learning how to do those things well, with nothing to do.

incidentally, learning how to do something properly makes it easier to see how bad ai is at that thing.

guix yeah, since they picked a pre-existing one. nix the language is arguably an overgrown dsl which explaits why it’s… real weird.

everything in the movie is there for a reason, especially when it isn’t.

i prefer referring to greenspun’s tenth

no step-bloodlines, please

other way round surely? if you want to modify the original object, use a pointer. if you don’t, use a copy.

if you’re working with higher level languages you pass-by-reference all the time. give a list to a function to modify it? that’s by reference. giving an event handler function to a framework? that’s by reference. setting a property on an object? that’s usually by reference.

subjectivity is implied, yes.

no jam is used as a spread for untoasted bread here. marmalade on toast is basically the only occurrence

never had either. apple sauce is more common.

40ish million sold, so… 85¢ sound good?

aw man…

softbank bought ABB Robotics last year. one of the few big swedish tech companies that hadn’t been fully diluted over the years (sure they were part of ABB but they were doing their own thing) get sold to a company that wanted to “bridge the gap between ai and real life”. if the robotics division goes down with them i’ll be mad.

yeah but the grape stuff is somewhere inbetween. it’s like semi-opaque.

the only jelly readily available here is made from red currants, because it’s a common side to game, and that thing is basically fully see-through.

they used to call him the deref king back in college

no, the distinction is the same, it’s just that from what i’ve seen of american grape jelly i would call it a jam.

…if you’re in the us.

so those are lightly jellied grapes/buttered peanuts?

ah i see now. had to look at your replies to other people to get the context :)

no, but making the bed may be one of those mundane things that bring you into a routine!
