@SolBrah @CaribbeanRythms The maths in question

For what it's worth I have a Master's in Applied Finance -my maths is fine. None of your insults are an argument. You used a picture of the incredible engineering of rockets; something I never have denied because it's extremely obvious that is real and we can all see them working. However, none of that validates the BS they try to pass off as moon landing "evidence". It's as simple as that. You can have reverence for European engineering, as I do, without swallowing the absolute farce that they put in the slopbucket to the normie masses. There are too many inconsistencies and intuitively suspicious informations that don't add up: "We destroyed the technology to go back lol". Couple that with researching the ancient schools of thought and other historical civilizations that had other conceptions of "outer space", speaking of the firmament, the lunar bodies or the realm we inhabit - and you begin to question the narrative they feed us that results in them pocketing billions of dollars. Just like they said you can't question the "Covid" narrative unless you are a doctor etc; its wrong to say that you can't question something that seems suspicious if you're outside of their particular education system. That being said, we're free to disagree, and I'm free to question things, which I will always do if it doesn't seem right to me.

this is the average moon landing denier: >never applied himself in a technical field >can’t do basic math problems let alone trigonometry, calculus, linear algebra >”what’s a vector?” >has never set foot in an engineering workspace >never seen a P&ID let alone read one >never coded >can’t read a schematic >confuses mass and weight >confuses voltage, current, and resistance >”bernoullis principle?” >cannot calculate slope between two points >”I love Ancient Greeks, wrestling naked in the sun. Wait, pythagorean theorem? why would I need that? >does not understand order of operations >struggles with exponents and powers >cannot work with fractions or ratios >doesn’t know the difference between diameter, circumference and radius of a circle >essentially mathematically illiterate >thinks g force is a watch I’d like to convince you one day about how great of an achievement this was for humanity, Sol.

@1000_mikan Stanz is literally right there

im watching 3 streamers react to tip2tip but its not enough..

@IroncladDev Every outdated JQuery, every legacy Axios for a simple GET request is a scar, it was a terrible time. At least it wasn’t as bad as the IE compatibility wars, some say you can still hear the screams of the devs sentenced to roam Earth forever to make sure gov websites run on IE6

@IroncladDev You don’t get it, I lost many good friends to XML requests and polling, JQuery, Axios and SocketIO were true lifelines. I held a buddy of mine as he faded, he asked me to promise to take care of his mom, I didn’t have the heart to tell him promises were not yet widely supported

I've always used fetch instead of axios because that's what's used in the browser like why would you even use axios in the first place?

@PalmyrPar Cool little thing I saw at the numismatic museum in Athens

I dislike the implementation. The “design” is actually the ancient coin, not the design itself. It indicates a lack of vision in bringing the past forward, and shows only that the past is seen as an archeological curiosity to be “remembered.”

@allie__voss There are Rorschachs everywhere for those with the eyes to see

Hi! I made this meme and I am, in fact, a woman I’m sorry if a man has made you feel stupid for asking something like this, but this is just a lighthearted joke about the difficulties of planning as a couple

@SpaceKoala Way too long thread about this I wrote a few years back: bsky.app/profile/markzm…

@SpaceKoala “The Chaos Machine” by Max Fisher has a section that talks about intergroup contact theory, it references a pretty good paper about it to give credence to its claims. The paper says the opposite of what the book says IN THE ABSTRACT and throughout.

What I find funny about people talking about AI hallucinating sources is that if you actually drill down into sources on Wikipedia or even published papers, humans have a bad habit of playing kind of fast and loose with sources as well. The most annoying thing is trying to find a source for an assertion in one paper, and finding out their source references yet another paper, and the third paper doesn't actually say what both papers claimed. Do your due diligence on tracking down sources whether it's a human or a machine hallucinating the information.

@NoahGarfinkel My one wish in life is that Garfinkel replies to me with a simple “Okay”, making me question if he’s genuinely acknowledging my reply or just condescendingly dismissing it. Ultimately putting me in a journey of self actualization that will lead me to inner peace.

I don’t know enough on my own to suss out whether A.I. is a bubble or not, but the barometer I’m going by is that the people who think it’s a bubble sound sober and concerned and the people who think it’s not sound like manic traveling tent preachers.

@JulioHashem Actually, that’s just what Canadian dollars look like

In Canada, you can just roll up to the drive thru window with a ripped piece of coffee cup and say “apple fritter please” and they’ll just give you a free apple fritter

@SYNESTHEIZURE Le pregunté a mi amigo estadounidense cuánto medía y me comenzó a hablar de pies, a mi qué demonios me importan sus fetiches? Que sociedad tan decadente.

Asked my Spanish friend for his ETA and he started babbling on about some sort of space program for fascists. Absurd. This is why those people are always late

@Mr_Bugman Mi caso favorito de una "deformación" del lenguaje es el ocurrido a la palabra para "naranja" en el idioma francés cuando perdió la "n" inicial (paso de ser "norenge" a "orenge"): @markzmane/post/Cyy3XKIvRUb" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">threads.com/@markzmane/pos…

@Mr_Bugman Es parte de la evolución natural del lenguaje, a mí se me hace interesante presenciarlo, es como ver a un pino longevo crecer, un ser que crece y cambia tan lento que lo podrías dar por muerto, solo las lenguas muertas como el latín carecen de dicha evolución.

Qué horrísona la expresión de moda "hace sentido" (probablemente derivada del inglés "make sense") cuando toda la vida se dijo correctamente "tiene sentido".

@YoSoyDavyJones Historiador del año 4000 tratando de averiguar si los mexicanos realmente creían en el mitológico “Pirata de Culiacán” (no hay consenso sobre si “Culiacán” realmente existió o solo era parte de los relatos sobre “Sinaloa”, también conocido como “el infierno” en otras culturas):

Si los griegos tenían a Caronte para guiar sus almas, México tiene al Pirata de Culiacán

@owenbroadcast This is actually a thing, I have one, they heat primarily through radiation rather than convection but you have to point them at you directly, I don’t really like mine to be honest

i go get a heater. theres an “infrared heater”. guy says its different because it heats objects, not the air. “to heat a room” means “to heat the air”. “it heats the room, not the air”. are you buddha. “the room” is “the air”. is this the indian philosophy aisle. we are at lowes

@yeet_chris1 @bskdany I pay 9.99€ for 250GB inside of Italy + 25GB in the rest of the EU, it doesn’t include North America though

@bskdany $32 50GB CANADA-US-MEXICO-EU and I live in Canada. Doesn’t seem bad

It’s cheaper to pay roaming in Canada with a EU sim than getting a Canadian sim Bro

@joeltena @GinaRivers90 No es que esté completo solo en la traducción, el texto de la traducción lo generó @grok erróneamente por qué interpretó el tuit original como una instrucción así que generó su propia lista de medios.

@GinaRivers90 Está raro, pero la mayor parte de tu tuit no se ve. Solo cuando le pico a “traducir” se muestra completo 🤔🤔🤔

Una lista de los medios que compartieron lo del Aeropuerto sin verificar

programmers are such cornballs bro. Wdym the description of this app is "Git with a cup of tea"? the fuck does this mean?

@skullmandible Sycophancy doesn’t arise from the pre-training data (which is where the ad copy would be used), it comes from post-training. It’s not some weird byproduct we don’t know how to get rid of, it’s just that most LLMs have been pushed to behave that way (mostly during RLHF)

it's from advertising. it's an advertising phrase. it comes up a lot because there's a lot of ad copy slop in the training data. this is also why the bots are sycophantic and never say no. a markov of marketing

@TetraspaceWest Yeah but on the flip side you’d get rid of all those tacky ass outfits

green represents freedom and anyone who wants to make the green areas less green hates your freedom
