17k for a new car of any kind is a good price

I don’t like to say privilege, it sort of implies culpability

Plus the supply lines. I heard it said that TSMC is the king not just because they have the best equipment and scientists and engineers in the world, but because they have a very well optimized supply line that allows they to buy incredible amounts of raw materials and turn them into incredible amounts of chips and ship them all over the world.

It’s called recall or something. If you are trying to find something you saw before but can’t remember, it remembers for you.

Copilot, what was the video on Pornhub I saw a few months ago, with the brunette who looks like Jessica from accounting? And she had like 4 guys in her at once and was eating spaghetti?

“how to problem solve” and “use logic” are, I believe, myths. When you teach someone to implement quicksort, all you’ve done is taught them to implement quicksort. Classroom based lectures and rote memorization do not impart any kind of broader “problem-solving” ability. This is an ex post rationalization by the perpetrators of the education system to justify their own existence. I place the value of what they do very low

If it’s about problem solving and using logic, why do we need to memorize quicksort? That’s not an example of using logic or problem solving

I would say I care more about other causes, and also it’s not like I was somehow an Azure customer anyways. You gotta pick like 2 or 3 causes to spend your energy on or you’ll just be in a bad mood all the time

Trump accidentally inventing cassette futurism because America becomes too poor to afford anything built past 1999

I use it as a form of google, basically. I ask it coding questions a lot, some of which are a bit more philosophical. I never allow it to write code for me, though. Sometimes I’ll have it check my work

I’m a 22-year-old man

You are too young to be a failure

My company told us we need to get prior approval before using AI tools at our company

So we’re only allowed to agree with things now?

I’m not giving up, I’m just going to focus on the issues that are personally important to me

I could probably find a thousand things you spend your money on that hurt people in some way, but I’m not going to hold you to that insane standard because I don’t believe in ideological purity tests

Call it caring fatigue. There are causes that I care about and that I spend my time and energy on. But over the course of 2020-2025, every little thing-of-the-week issue that popped up demanded that I stop buying socks at target, or burritos at chipotle, canned beans or pens or video games or cloud services or t-shirts or shoes or plastic cups or what have you. I just don’t have it in me to pretend to care about everything that everybody else cares about all the time. I’m picking my 2-3 things and sticking with them

I personally love being married

I think a person can be a pacifist, I don’t think a country can

I’m kind of done with my boycott era

It’s an internet thing. There’s a lot of people online who code but have no jobs. 4chan’s /dpt/ is full of them. They all code in ANSI C or Lisp or something

When I work on web projects at home I don’t use any javascript at all. Just html and css. Interactions are handled via form submission. I’m working on a forum in asp.net mvc without any javascript at all
