Look up “Stanford marshmallow experiment”.

Me in the late 90s: CSS is not a language!

Today: Holy crap, it’s now Turing-complete.

Obligatory link to the Rustonomicon.

Should you wish a long and happy career of writing Rust programs, you should turn back now and forget you ever saw this book.

all work in floats

We even have float16 / float8 now for low-accuracy hi-throughput work.

But if we let this happen, what’s stopping an anime character winning the competition? Or a cat? Or robot? Where do we draw the line?!?

On second thoughts, a cat would be pretty awesome. They’ll at least dominate the catwalk part of the competition.

Coming off of this discussion, what you have there might be an extreme version of diazeugma, one with an implicit subject.

Either way, I learnt something new today - zeugma. So thank you :)

Edit: I just realised… please, no juvenile jokes about “sugma” in this thread, thank you.

It’s not.

Go wash your mouth with some SOAP.

That’s… two posts

Three, actually. While I agree with you, it is still arguably the number one company that annoys people on that list ʘ‿ʘ

You may get a better answer if you follow the suggestion in the comment at the bottom of your source:

// - Ask our friendly community members if you need help: lemmy.world/c/perchance

The syntax is specific to Perchance, a website that 99% of the general public have never heard of.

Commonwealth maybe?

Edit: wiki references seem to indicate it’s predominantly ANZ

she’ll be right… @lemmy.nz

Checks out.

My neighbour was freaking out when she saw in the local newspaper that burglaries in our town had increased by 100%

I pointed out that we had 2 burglaries this year, compared to the 1 last year…

Gun culture, car culture, sports culture, political culture… /s, kinda

So you’re saying it’s meditation in sheep’s clothing?

This article is prime “SelfAwareWolves” material…

Countering this in international media by offering more balanced views for a global audience is near impossible as censorship is rife. There almost seems to be a global compact to control the narrative, a propaganda war powered by today’s digital technology.

The og Opera was so good and innovative. Would’ve paid for it (when it was still ad-supported), were I not a poor student at the time.

When they became yet another chromium skin with no soul, I moved fully to FF. Now Vivaldi is my second browser alongside FF.

Somehow the model that Bing uses is extremely aggressive in gaslighting you. It would be funny if it wasn’t so reminiscent of some of the most abusive relationships I’ve seen irl…

This intrigued me so I tried asking some AI; and in typical AI fashion, they gave me very wrong answers very convincingly.

Gpt4 is convinced it was Vermeer’s “Art of Painting”, and gave a very verbose - but completely wrong - description of how the woman was directing the painter’s arm. The BingGPT version even gave me links… to websites with completely unrelated paintings.

Google bard insists it was Goya’s “The Double Portrait”, and gave a very detailed analysis and critique of the painting. It’s very convincing, except for the fact that I couldn’t find a painting by that name by Goya…

So I’m sorry I couldn’t be of much help. I just found the whole thing amusing.

La Porchetta - weren’t they involved with the mob too at some point? There’s one near me; never seen anyone visit. I swear it’s a front…
