Ten-million-five-hundred-and-sixty-thousand bits.

Yes, I was about to say the same thing until I saw your comment. I had a little bit of success learning a few tricks with o3 but trying to use o4 is a tremendous headache for coding.

There might be some utility in dialing it all back so it’s more straight to what I need based more on package documentation than random redditor suggestion amalgamation.

Here’s a fun take for you: in Japanese its 月曜日、火曜日、水曜日、木曜日、金曜日、土曜日、and 日曜日, which translates to basically moon day, fire day, water day, tree day, metal day, earth day, and sun day— although it’s really celestial bodies, the very same mentioned in another comment (e g. Mars is the fire star, Tuesday).

It’s supposedly derived from Chinese, though they probably got it from Romen influence given similarities.

Anyway, the eighth day probably needs to be 天王曜日 (which is basically heavenly king day) or 海王曜日 (sea god day, aka Neptune) but I’m unsatisfied with that. Plus, honestly it’s way cooler as an elemental theme so my vote is 電曜日, denyoubi or electricity day, in honor of Pikachu. That day would be super effective.

Still one of my wifes favorite sketches of theirs.

Oh for sure, a “apply to everyone” tarrif isn’t a well thought out approach just as firing all probationary hires isn’t a well thought out approach. Just hate that people are acting like he also put tarrifs on Atlantis or Wakanda or something because he thinks they exist. An apply all rule would include those places, too, but it’s stupid because of why you said, not because he’s actively choosing uninhabited islands by hand.

My dad was poking fun at this because it’s an old “haha look how dumb Trump is” but like, it’s literally a tariff on everything on Earth. It’s such a small point compared to the huge mess this whole stupid idea is.

When I needed to pick up on some basics, it actually did help but ultimately not as much as actual guides and tutorials written online. This image of a chimera certainly matches the kind of Frankenstein code I was getting.

That said, when I was having some very interesting ideas about making automated code in R, it did make for a good sounding board. You don’t need to Google when everything in R has documentation but you do when you’re combining libraries in unique ways to automate 98% of the stupid shit you do at your data researcher job (e.g. can you look up in our database how many students pick their nose during philosophy class on a Friday?)

I just some a lot of Lemmy are neurodivergent and do in fact require /s.

Which is actually halfway true, the other half being a more international crowd that aren’t on the same page as whatever perspective you’ve got. That said, I got the joke and second you on spending more time with my feet on my desk while the boss pays me for my 20 minutes of work.

I’ve met the type who run businesses like that, and they likely do deserve punishment for it. My own experience involved someone running gray legality betting apps, and the owner was a cheapskate who got unpaid interns and filipino outsourced work to build their app. Guy didn’t even pay 'em sometimes.

Granted, you could also hire inexperienced people if you’re a good person with no financial investor, but that I’ve mostly seen with education apps and other low profit endeavors. Sex stuff definitely is someone trying to score cash.

I’m not convinced at least half of those communities trust Reddit and Discord enough to leave forums, but then again I stopped using them mostly because I haven’t had time for those hobbies. My emulation groups are still active on forums, at least.

You know, they blame AI but it’s just a fucking 20 year old intern using Ctrl find and replace. I have literally been that person before, although not such that my indifference to my job involves nuclear secrets and a whole nations SSNs.

I can’t believe it was this guy or Dr. Fucking Oz. There is something deeply wrong with Pennsylvania.

Gross but also… kinda curious from an A/B testing perspective to know when the user drop off happens. Kind of like, what’s the pain threshold before someone stops using shitty software. The answer really should be zero but the average user… ugh, it’s probably fucking 8 or 9 and we should be ashamed.

Too bad is Bing so the sample size is too small for any meaningful results.

Not sure if I know any young Democrats who campaigned for Schumer in NY, and if anything would probably have supported a primary challenger if they were more invested or had someone to rally behind. But voting for him over what, a Republican? Do they even seriously run for Senate seats there?

Is there an animal that works instead of leopard? “I didn’t think the ostrich would bury it’s head when the leopards ate my face”?

Not crazy if you want to advertise on the down low. I worked a summer once doing that shit, it’s insidious. Blockers don’t even block someone pretending to like a product.

That’s more an argument in semantics. Developmental psych actually has this as a brain development stage, with the later stages being about critical thinking even if the earlier phase doesn’t seem so. Experiments were done where children of various ages were tested on benchmarks such as volume and kids under a certain age failed almost universally (I forget the age, something like 5 or 6) in the same way that infants lack object permanence. Later, at 9 and around 13 (?) the same framework argues that the brain gets basic and advanced problem solving and critical thinking, although even that theory admits plenty of people skip that last milestone.

Your point is more a common logical (sensory?) fallacy that plenty of adults fall into, but isn’t necessarily the same thing. At least, I think it is, I’m a bit busy right now to check and it’s bad enough I’m typing this out instead of taking care of my own toddler, lol.

I want to point out that, especially after No Child Left Behind, we’ve actively worked to teach-to-the-test in public schools. That was a bipartisan compromise to make education “accountable” that ultimately worsened education. Obama’s DoE helped, slightly, in 2015 adjustments but it’s still no where near where it should be and made only worse by a push to get more charters and affordable private schools that don’t understand pedagogy.

That is to say, uneducated isn’t quite right as It’s not a lack of education, but more of a misguided pedagogy that prioritizes rote memorization over deductive reasoning and critical thinking. It’s not a lack of trying, but an avoidence of evidence based approaches.

Critical thinking (or at least reasoning) is everywhere, even when people drive or do chores, an ounce of thoughtfulness at the very least makes a difference.

And yes, warm soda. Lol

You know, this should only trick young kids as they genuinely believe taller = more. The fact that it probably tricks a ton of adults just suggests their critical thinking never made it past adolescence and we should be very concerned by that.

Bad, no, bored, yes. I generally just keep up with some web comics on there but as they at least move to BlueSky, that’s less an issue. Plus the quality has dropped. I don’t expect them to come to Lemmy, even if we do have a couple of good, very-Lemmy oriented comic artists.
