lever is a rotating rod. wedges rotate the thing theyre wedging. incline planes rotate the stuff that goes over it. screws rotate into a surface. all your simple machines utilize rotation to accomplish your tasks. check mate simple machinists.

except its not. maybe a fat wad of code happens faster, but then you have to go read it and understand it and edit it and resolve all the stupid shit it did, and all of that takes longer than just writing it yourself in the first place. if all you care about is lines of code, sure yeah it speeds up the creation of garbage, but if you care at all about having good maintainable code at the end it absolutely does not. but what does what i think matter, nuance on the internet is dead.

and they just loooove promoting sycophantic idiots who are addicted to koolaid to middle management positions. gotta have a small army of true believers to shit all over the free thinking producers of value so they dont start getting uppity against the real threat.

a laptop isnt capable of even a teeny tiny baby fraction of what a human brain can do. the only thing a laptop can do better than a human is calculating and data recall. the entire reason we made computers was to augment those weaknesses in our minds, because theyre so useful. but in terms of data processing, learning, prediction, planning, a laptop is basically an abacus being compared to a supercomputer, and thats being extremely generous to the abacus. human brains have had billions of years of evolution demanding more performant brains under severe energy restrictions. yeah we’re way way way more efficient than any computer.

thats gotta be a chimera right?

no it cant. every time someone does a study they find it slows people down and degrades quality. youre just parroting an ad basically.

whats extra funny about that statement is humans are insanely efficient

i do most of those things, and i will also add dont smoke, dont drink, and take estrogen. but you can pry sugar from my cold dead hands. whats the point of living a long time and staying young if you cant even enjoy yourself?

but… but… line go up not down!

human brains use bang-bang control to control our body movement. all muscles are either on or off, with many individually actuateable groups of fibers per major muscle group. if youve ever lifted weights and started to shake on a hard lift, thats your body switching rapidly between different muscle fibers trying to complete the lift. body feedback takes more than 100 ms, which is way too long to do active feedback control on a lot of the really fast actions we do with our bodies, so for those our brain just does it open loop. it generates a sequence based on your intent and past training and just lets it rip, but we for sure can modify the sequence midway.

this is part of why humanoid robots look so uncanny when they move, they do continuous control which is fundamentally different from how we move our bodies. our brains have special pathways that process others body movements and what those robots do doesnt line up with how we know our bodies move so it looks wrong.

another cat might love it! i got this one from a friend who bought it for their cats who had zero interest lol.

eureka. i tried to rewatch it recently and its… oof. one of the main characters has an autistic son who is a savant and they talk about hopefully finding a cure for autism someday. meanwhile pretty much all the scientists and engineers show actual autistic traits that im sure the writers thought were just quirky smart people traits. meanwhile the sheriffs house is voiced by a male character trying to do a womans voice and haha isnt it funny how its kind of inappropriate towards him constantly because its a dude doing a girl voice? then the constant perpetuation of stereotypes, nerd/jock bullshit, and really bad science thats just magic with a technological paint job.

cats. the hardest liquid in nature.

i need to see the thing the concept of being a lesbian becomes. and also the concept of being trans as a thing. then the thing of the concept of sex. oh and maybe the concept of differential equations as a thing. that would probably look really cool.

the hill is beans

yeah i was gonna say ive got some naked titties right here

“you might think i broke this vase, but it was the floor that done it see. watched the whole thing happen myself.”

they would just burn in those cases. they pop from the buildup of steam inside the kernel, so if you heat them with too hot of a heat source the hull will burn and let the steam out before they have a chance to pop. thats why you need oil when popping corn in most circumstances, to modulate the heat and avoid burning them. air poppers are kind of unique in not needing oil, but they do still tend to burn the kernels slightly and often have more duds than more traditional methods done properly.

corsair makes cheap shitty garbage hardware run by lazy bloated shitty software

thats kind of a narrow anthropocentric view though. if humans have souls then all animals have souls seeing as humans are animals. there might be less power in a nonhuman soul but that doesnt make them useless.
