This analogy doesn’t really work because there are thousands of different wheels that all spin on an axis but are used for many different things. If the wheel was never reinvented or improved upon we wouldn’t have automatic transmissions, rocket engine turbo pumps, gyroscopes, etc.

Don’t put money in your mouth, it’s dirty.

I know exactly 0 people who are still watching over-the-air TV.

Wow, you must be one of today’s lucky 10,000!

Those shitheads had an unintended opposite effect on me. All this attention on trans issues in the last decade or so made me think about some things about myself and my past and made me finally realize I’m not cisgendered either. 40+ years living as a man, and now am planning on going on HRT soon to live as the androgynous enby I really am.

A history teacher in the 22nd century: “And that, class, is how we finally implemented UBI.”

Free antibiotics.

I for one have never imagined the Scratch cat in this way. I love this.

Don’t ever watch Looney Tunes. I think it will be way too upsetting for you.

Maybe. And I can’t blame it on not having had coffee when I made the comment. Just me being completely oblivious to a joke.

Or literally just look at its binary representation. If the least significant digit is a “1”, it’s odd, if “0”, it’s even. Or you can divide by 2 and check for a remainder.

Your method is just spending time grinding away CPU cycles for no reason.

Even when you move out of your parents’ place, you still have to play this fucking game with the plumber, cable tech, and possibly landlord if you rent, and continue to hide your shit.

Honestly, good. Getting sick of the “professional” world being so goddamn stiff and boring. Push back against sanitized corporate aesthetics.

You need to design a dystopian near-future tabletop RPG of some kind.

I’m gonna squeak up in this thread too and shift the average up some more because I also am furry trash.

It’s not very good at it though, if you’ve ever used it to code. It automates and eases a lot of mundane tasks, but still requires a LOT of supervision and domain knowledge to not have it go off the rails or hallucinate code that’s either full of bugs or will never work. It’s not a “prompt and forget” thing, not by a long shot. It’s just an easier way to steal code it picked up from Stackoverflow and GitHub.

Me as a human will know to check how much data is going into a fixed size buffer somewhere and break out of the code if it exceeds it. The LLM will have no qualms about putting buffer overflow vulnerabilities all over your shit because it doesn’t care, it only wants to fulfill the prompt and get something to work.

C++ because I use it for embedded systems, interfaces with and can easily use C code (opening up the ability to use 40+ years of libraries and already written code), and I’m 43 years old and don’t feel like learning an entirely new programming paradigm (I like OOP it makes the most sense to me).

I like being able to drill down and manage all my own resources like memory, etc. when I need to as well. I’ll use raw pointers with higher level abstractions all day depending on what’s convenient.
