That’s what Xi said.

$20 says it’s all AI bots 🥲

Move to a better state.

Commence operation “find out”!

It’s for the extra helpful documentation. You see, in this fantastic example, after the author set GLFW_TRUE to 1, he explained the deep and profound meaning of the value. This exemplifies that the number 1 can also be written as a word: “One”! Some people might be able to figure this out, but the author clearly went above and beyond to make the code accessible to the open source community, encouraging contributions from anyone who’s considering improving the code. Furthermore, this follows the long held tradition of man pages - explaining the nuance of the code, in preparation for telling others to RTFM when they arrogantly ask a question.

Go bigger than IT problems.

Most desk jobs are simply finding information: a suitable combination of 1s and 0s until someone else agrees that the combination is correct.

Then, as a reward, the business slightly changes the 1s and 0s of my bank account.

It’s 1s and 0s all the way down.

There’s only one thing to do…

BOMB THE OCEAN INTO SUBMISSION!

It will regret the day it messed with FREEDOM!

I have not regretted it. Bought a second EV for my family as well. Most of my extended family have also bought EVs and all had positive experiences. I don’t know anyone who has regretted it.

I chuckled at the part at the end, that basically says “some people voiced concerns over switching to an open source solution because of support and SLAs”. It’s like, “yoooo, you just got fucked, in a concerted effort by a large company to shed customers that ‘don’t matter’ to them. What makes you think an open source could be worse than this?”

I see two basic reasons.

1. it gives companies plausible argument to embed telemetry into their products. Should your TV manufacturer or coffee maker manufacturer be able to monitor every single button you press on your device? Probably not, but they would like to “because AI”! Now they have an excuse to be as invasive as they want, “to serve you better”. The dream - for them - would be total surveillance of your habits to sell you more shit. Remember, it always comes back to money.

2. The old adage never fails: if it’s free, you are the product. Imagine AI being so pervasive, that now everywhere you look, everything you interact with can subtly suggest things. It doesn’t have to be overt. But if AI can nudge the behavior of the masses to do a thing, like buy more soda, or favor one brand over another, then it has succeeded in boosting company bottom line. Sure the AI can do useful shit for you, but the true AI problem companies want to solve is “say or do the right shit to influence this consumer to buy my thing”. You are the target the AI is operating on. And with billions of interactions and tremendous training, it will find the optimal way to influence the masses to buy the thing.

> mfw the paywall is preventing me from reading his “story” more than the Biden administration 🙄🥱😂

Star Wars: X-wing vs TIE Fighter

HELLO?! Yes, I have a message for place. “I wuz here.”

Why the fuck is “school” so far from the top of the list 🙄?

Also, if the whole point is the place being walkable, gas station shouldn’t even make the list.

You’re not supposed to say the quiet part out loud.

All these fancy plans and Microsoft still can’t figure out how to merge Windows Control Panel and Settings into one 🙄.

I’ve thought about that before. 😂

In all honesty, $TSLA made a lot of people rich 3 to 4 years ago. I’m not the only one.

I honestly don’t care which companies do it, but I’ve always been interested in green investing. When so many governments are pouring money into energy transition, there’s bound to be profit to be made.

I sunk about 70k into $TSLA in 2020. Sold the brokerage shares to pay off my mortgage and buy a Model X for my family. The stock also grew my kids’ UTMA accounts to pay for about half of college, or perhaps large down payment on their future home.

There were a lot Tesla of haters back in 2020. There are probably more now. But whatever your opinion may be, that company has changed the world for the better. Accelerated the transition to electric transport: just like they said they’d do. I’m excited for the second generation to succeed: Rivian, BYD, and other companies who’re serious about it.

Best financial move I ever made? Latch on to a company that has purpose and a great product, then cash out for the things that matter. I just wish I’d had capital back when Apple launched the iPhone!

(P.S. to all the haters who’re gonna come at me with downvotes: I have more dollars than the number of downvotes you’ll ever be able to dish out! So come at me brah.)

I feel you, Pakistan. Same here in the US. The yeeeeejadists are itchin for a fight.
