All CS/Maths/Physics material is available for free.
Yet most people are still unable to learn it.
This tells you something.
リリー@pointerveil
something i love about engineering/physics/CS culture is that almost every intellectual resource is available for free. there's a real presumption of non-gatekeeping that is, in my experience, not present in other fields

My friend. You very literally just proved the point.
If you aren’t able to have a conversation about something outside of your interests, and if you’re not willing to entertain her interests and opinions as talking points instead of debate topics, you’re a bad date. You’re telling her right out the gate that you’re no fun.

This is a bad take. Astrology ought to be a non starter, unless you are being facetious about it. Taking astrology seriously suggests that you are epistemically broken. Possibly scientifically illiterate.

@DeivonDrago Yeah you are literally the type of person she is trying to avoid.

@housecor AI has revealed that most devs just unthinkingly implement whatever they're told.
English
Sure, but what happens to developers when you don’t need to be able to read or write code to solve software problems?
Fernando@Franc0Fernand0
Software engineers don't get paid to write code; they get paid to solve problems. The faster you realize this, the sooner you'll stop being afraid that AI will replace you and the better your career will be.

@LeeFowlerCU @iamrobtv Halo CE launched without forge.
3 years later Halo 2 launched with online multiplayer and more arena maps and had more DLC maps than infinite did in the same timeframe before DLC even existed.
3 years later Halo 3 launched with forge.
Infinite had 6 years after Halo 5
English
@iamrobtv Did you know that Halo: CE launched without forge and people loved it? Myself included. I paid full price for an "incomplete" game!
English
Halo Infinite as it stands is a great Halo game and had it launched that way we would be having much different conversations about Halo rn
It's so frustrating that Xbox released and then left the game in Beta for pretty much 2 years and then have the audacity to act as if the game's failures were due to disinterest in the franchise.
No you just released a mediocre product initially and people moved on. By the time the game was even a semblance of a complete product it was too late
Destin@DestinLegarie
Halo Infinite was great imo. But if that still wasn't "enough" to warrant story follow ups and a continuation for Infinite vs. a Halo 1 remake I'm worried about the future of the franchise. I have ~456 hours in Infinite. I love the game. I hope Halo Studios can figure it out.

Pay your workers, and they won’t burn your inventory because you don’t pay them enough. It’s not hard.

@ZacksJerryRig Better human being makes more money than an inbred retard... More news at 9

I'm not saying what this guy did was right - I'm just statistically pointing out that the company leasing this warehouse, Kimberly-Clark, has a CEO named Michael D. Hsu that made $16.4 million dollars last year.
That is $7,884.62 an hour.
Food for thought.
Power to the People ☭🕊@ProudSocialist
A worker in Ontario, California sets his company’s warehouse on fire and has a message for the CEO: “There goes your inventory. All you had to do was pay us enough to fucking live.” Expect to see more of this as people struggle to survive under our decaying capitalist system.

I've not tried Coke Zero yet. I keep hearing about it. I have it in the fridge. My kids rave about it.
It's just that every artificial sweetener I've ever tried tastes like medicine mixed with ass.
So I want to believe. I want it to be true. And that's why I haven't tried it yet. Because expectations are the thief of joy. The longer I don't try it, the longer it might be true.
Keeks 🦋@DietCoke_Esq
I will litigate this. Diet Coke is just not the same drink. Coke Zero is regular Coke with no calories

@SaraHigdon I am imploring that this woman takes a step back and understands the point people are trying to make, that this is not a critique of the state's ability to abide by the Constitution. It is common sense that this person should be removed from society by any means necessary.
English
I am imploring that the collective internet take a step back and understand how the justice system works, that this is not a plea of insanity at the time of the murder, and incompetence to stand trial is not a defense of the crime. It is a constitutionally protected right, that you have to be able to understand the proceedings and help in your defense.
Also, this trial is not over, the defense and prosecutor agreed to a 180 day hold, and the trial will continue once it is determined he is fit to stand trial. I like everyone else want to see him found guilty for the heinous crime, but the rage bait/ignorance over this is too much. No matter what this guy will never walk the streets again.

@theo @barunbuilds sees an opinion and immediately crashes out can be your biography
English
i love watching theo, but this one’s a reallybad example. i actually like claude’s answer 😂
claude models are way better when you want a partner to think through stuff. codex is better at drilling down.
you need both imo
Theo - t3.gg@theo
It's silly, but this example perfectly illustrates what I hate about Opus. Claude models treat the prompt as a vibe. GPT models treat them as instructions. When asked about what runtime to use, Opus recommends Bun, even though it only really works as a package manager here. Codex immediately answers the question clearly, and gives the right context each point along the way.

@BecomingCritter @bryan_johnson 10 sets, people who write studies should be considered retarded, people just see formal formatting and thing someone with >100 IQ wrote it
English
@bryan_johnson >30-min walking at 4 km/h (ONE), sitting with 3-min walking at 4 km/h (WALK) or squatting (SQUAT) every 45 min for 10 times.
wait is that 10 squats or 10 sets
English
10 squats beats a 30 min walk.
For blood sugar control after a meal, doing 10 squats every 45 minutes outperforms a dedicated 30 min walk by 14%.
The mechanism: your quadriceps and glutes are the largest glucose sponge in your body. Activating them repeatedly clears more glucose than one sustained effort.
The 30 min walk isn't wrong, it's just not as effective.
English
this sounds profound until you think about it for 2 seconds and realise that everything we do requires the labour of others, even being born

@DailyLoud You guys think he cares about jail time? He did it to send a message, he doesn’t have enough to live anyways meaning he’ll be homeless or cripping debt, he’d rather live rent free in jail.

@msnofficial_on @p1nkduud It's tragic that 16:10 is so hard to find nowadays
English
@p1nkduud In edge, I like how it gives me more vertical area (Much more important for me on 16:9 displays)
And it shows me the full tab titles instead of just the favicon and 2 letters of the title if I have too many tabs open when I hover over the tab sidebar to expand it
English
There's a lack of understanding of what makes vertical tabs good or bad
This is the most dogshit implementation of vertical tabs
Only Arc and Edge have done vertical tabs well
