"Tuesday" which sounds like "twos-day" is day number 2 in the week whether you one-index and start your week on Monday *or* zero-index and start your week on Sunday.
The sheer amount of acronyms used to explain my behavior is beginning to look like the eye-chart at the vision clinic.
To paraphrase someone way smarter than I am:
Bitching about politics, the economy, the weather, etc. is the background noise of a group of people with no internal crisis imminent.
As irritating as it can be sometimes, to look at the Fediverse and see a demonstration of the direction this world is apparently headed and why that is wrong, I don't find that alarming in its own right.
I will shit myself if the crickets ever stop chirping suddenly.
I wonder how many of those who create fake images with AI actually think that the images are “real” and that the AI created them due to some sort of omniscience they attribute to it?
#ShowerThoughts: When you're talking to someone in a crowded place, the white noise of other people's conversations makes a kind of cone of silence around you. Keeping every groups conversation relatively private. This is why it's so unnerving when there's a momentary silence, and you suddenly find you're the only one talking.
Is there some way we could use this principle in social software? Encrypting private chats using other private chats as entropy?
Does anyone else type slower on a machine with high latency for whatever reason (e.g. it's a host across the Pacific)?
I find myself typing slower to kind of match its cadence, I assume to make the delay between pressing a key and seeing it echoed to the terminal.
Software dependencies are subject to Brandolini's law (a.k.a the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle), which states:
"The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it."
However, I also find that in any software project, the amount of effort needed to get rid of an external dependency is an order of magnitude bigger than it took to add it.
Conclusion: most software is largely made of bullshit.
The worst part of getting old is that you get less and less "first experiences" and are always comparing current with previous ones
Let me Google that for you is dead. Long live Kagi that for me.
Most people's earliest memories are at around 3 or 4 years of age, which correlates with the age kids start asking "why" for everything. Kids start asking why when they become self-aware.
Time travel doesn't work unless you also have teleportation. If you travel to the past/future, Earth will be in a different position in its orbit, and you'll die in space.
The universe has no concept of happiness or sadness. It is up to us to find things that make us happy (or sad if that's what we want).
Just finished listening to the audiobook of The Martain and got me to thinking.
I think better when I'm calm. So it follows that getting calmer will make me smarter.
Someone should make an anticapitalist Dexter. A serial killer who kills evil rich people.
Moving away from physical currency has been very detrimental to the homeless industry
