Okay chatgpt, pretend you’re a human trying to convey in one phrase that they have some level of mental disability. The phrase must be short, to convince me of your decreased attention span. Please use the words “elementary” and “rhombus”.
my only point is that it will be a toy, or for niche applications.
Your only point is the same point people with no idea of how things work have been making since forever. “It’s just a fad”. This was claimed about cars, about the internet, about computers, about videogames… Literally anyone who’s out of touch with reality and resents their lack of creativity or ability to think of a use for a groundbreaking technology positions themselves this way. It’s not new, and maybe it’s sometimes worth debating, but not when you follow it up with something like this:
this isnt going to be a an ipad-level device.
The iPad? Really? That’s your idea of a gamechanger? If you think ipads are anything except “a toy” and “for niche applications”, you’re living your wildest years, my dude.

But that’s the thing - they aren’t. Not once they’re bought. At that point, they’re my device, or your device.
Surely you can see how having a single supplier can be a bad thing, right? That supplier has no incentive to deliver quality. Why would they?
If you want to start baking cookies and sell them, you need to beat several bakers in your town and several companies in the rest of the country if you ever want to be successful and profitable. This is because there are already several well-established suppliers who have proven they make great cookies - why would anyone buy from you?
On the other hand if you’re the only one selling - you can reduce cocoa content in half to save costs, you can replace quality ingredients with cheaper versions for the same reason, you can increase prices as much as you want - the cookie-seeking customer will still buy, because there are no other options.
Sure, you can also be the best baker in the world. You can put love and care into every cookie that leaves your shop. You can care about customers and make sure they get the best stuff, because you have a monopoly and you can enforce that view.
But in reality, what actually happens is that those decisions don’t belong to you. They belong to the soulless company that only has one purpose: maximize profits. And you can be the best person ever, but if you’re working for a publicly traded company you’re at the mercy of shareholders.
Why would you want this? Forget about apple, why would you want this in any field?
To be honest, if Microsoft didn’t give a shit about anti-trust laws and if they just let Apple die instead of investing in them, we wouldn’t have Apple today. Which - to be clear: would be a great thing.
Maybe we should actually all strive to be more monopoly-oriented, the laws be damned.
Of course they are. I expect the number of furlongs in a whatsit has changed at least every week. Who could even pretend to remember the actual values?
Use a Romanian word and make it sound kind of English to make a point
Eg: “I gătated dinner” - ‘a găti’ = to cook -> I gateted dinner ~= I cooked dinner.
This is a bad example because it’s not really used, most people know the ver “to cook”, but you hopefully get what I’m explaining.
In this context, ‘a inunda’ is a verb in Romanian, it means “to flood (something)”. If you’re Romanian and you don’t know the word exists in English, ‘inundated’ sounds like one of those made-up “verb+ed” constructions.
So while it’s a silly question for someone who doesn’t know Romanian, it’s also a valid question for someone who has heard these types of bad constructions before, and has never heard of the English verb “to inundate”.
Hopefully the guy’s reply makes a bit more sense now, I don’t think it was actually meant as an insult tbh (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
Oh, I agree. I was just trying to add some context to the guy’s comment, because it seemed like the question (while avoidable with a quick search) was taken as malicious, whereas knowing the context makes me read it as jokey/curious at most.
I normally advocate for piracy. In cases like these, where some corpo comes in and STEALS from their customers (because let’s stop pretending this is anything else) I advocate for the other type of piracy, with sabers, cannons, rape, theft, pillaging and making some of these assholes walk a plank.
I have no idea why things don’t actually work and when presented with a core dump I panic like a little girl, so I restored to a previous system restore point, because fuck the changes you made since then, I’m just supposed to close this ticket, not actually fix things.
The company paid me to do exactly the actions I did before the system restore, which I had to redo after the system restore, and then I had to continue debugging and fixing the issue myself. Your cost analysis is fair in some cases, but it doesn’t really apply here. It wasn’t a “undo the changes so they can get back to work” situation, it was a “fix the issue so they can continue working” situation.
Also, restoring the machine to a previous state was not a fix for my issue. I wasn’t in a position where I did not have access, nor was I in one where I couldn’t revert the changes myself (even without the system restore). This was a lazy/incompetent tech, who finished their ticket and went home for the day having done nothing but inconvenience me even more, and cause me to spend even more time on the issue.
I only wish this was the only interaction I’ve ever had with IT where they proved to be more trouble than it’s worth, but sadly that’s not the case.
I’ve argued this before, but if Russia has any hope to move towards capitalism rather than their current communist streak, whoever succeeds Putin would be wise to sell the opportunity to piss on Putin’s grave.
If done smartly, this could be a really good opportunity for Russia. Imagine going to pissonputinsgrave.com and being greeted by several packages:
Base package - $15. You’re in the neighborhood and you want to piss on his grave. Just buy the ticket, show the QR code to Igor and he’ll look the other way while you enjoy pissing on the cunt.
Deluxe - $450. 5 nights in a 4-star Moscow hotel await you. Entrance to museums, the Kremlin and Putin’s grave are included in the price. Enjoy pissing on his grave every night of your vacation, even multiple times a day. Igor will even aim your penis at the grave if you want.
Oligarch - $1000. Deluxe package, but with flights to and from your location included. Igor will come pick you up. Igor will insist on aiming your penis at the grave.
Remote - $5000. Why visit Russia when you can go to places that aren’t shitholes? When you’re truly wealthy, you can have your cake and eat it too. Igor will come to you. He will be carrying a gold cup with your name engraved on it in rubies. You may fill it with the liquid/solid of your choice, and Igor will take it back through customs somehow. You will receive a video of that very same cup being poured onto Putin’s grave, and will receive the cup back as a souvenir, after it has been thoroughly sanitized. You can of course have Igor hold your penis at any point while he is visiting.
I constantly feel the need to argue with this dumb fuck and his 99% wrong opinions. I usually have to take a step back, remember it’s not worth it, and then move on. It would be a great help if I had a Firefox add-on that precedes all of musk’s tweets with "retard weighing in: ", just as a reminder that he’s also allowed a point of view, despite his mental issues.
The two sets have the same value, that is the value of both sets is unbounded. The set of 100s approaches that value 100 times quicker than the set of singles.
Hey. Sorry, I’m not at all a mathematician, so this is fascinating to me. Doesn’t this mean that, once the two sets have reached their value, the set of 100 dolar bills will weigh 100 times less (since both bills weigh the same, and there are 100 times fewer of one set than the other)?
If so, how does it reconcile with the fact that there should be the same number bills in the sets, therefore the same weight?
In early December, images circulated worldwide showing dozens of Palestinian men in the city of Beit Lahiya, in the northern Gaza Strip, who were stripped to their underwear, kneeling or sitting hunched over, then blindfolded and put into the back of Israeli military trucks like cattle.

What two sides? You mean the nazis and the people who are right by default, because their opponents ARE FUCKING NAZIS?
There are no lessons to be learned here. Israel is doing what they have always done: stealing land and conducting genocide. While Palestinians are doing what they’ve always done - fighting the fucking nazis. At this point in time, the only lesson to be learned is that the UN should collectively take Israel back, give the land to Palestinians and then literally suck some Palestinian dick for a few hundred years as an apology.
How about we offer them the option, and if they refuse - bury them under the 70 years of Palestinian graves that they created.
Fuck off outta here with your “war crime to relocate them” shit. Israel is a made-up country that relies on money greasing the right pockets to exist. It’s time to dissolve it.
You think that’s not inside the camp? Are you expecting it to be like your church camp? With cabins and running showers, with beds and a fireplace outside where they can have some roasted marshmallows?
Primarily a consequence of the Israeli Declaration of Independence […]
So the expulsion of Jewish people from Arab states discussed here came AFTER the illegal forming of Israel - as a direct result of it, in fact. Israelis did have “somewhere to go” before the zionists movement basically lobbied for a state of their own - they lived all over the world.
And of course this happened. If any country is 90% religion x and there is some land somewhere that is split between religion x and religion y, the UN would face horrendous push back from the 90% of that initial country that sympathizes with religion x. And while religion is a plague on our lands that brings little value aside from excusing atrocities, this is the fucking UN. Lacking the tact to understand how their shit resolution destabilized the region isn’t something that’s supposed to be allowed for them. They fucked up and now refuse to fix it.
But let’s make it easier - have the UN pass a resolution today that makes half the US(or Germany, or the UK, or Russia) Arab land, only for Arabs, to be settled by Arab settlers. See how well that fucking goes, and then go ahead and blame that country for not being willing to go ahead with half their land being taken away.
There is no “other side” here, man. Zionists created this problem. They’re unwilling to fix it, and they’re unwilling to stop their genocide. Everything else is a reaction to this. You don’t get to say “fuck you, I own this land now” and then turn around and say “WAAAAHH THE OTHER SIDE DOESN’T WANT TO COMPROMISE”. Of course they fucking don’t.
That's a really good point. (lemmy.world)
