  • Who is this mythical average user I keep hearing about?

    I've never had a problem forcing people at work - even those with very limited IT knowledge - to run things from cli in windows.

    For years in one place I worked the IT support first line solution was to tell all users to force a gp update from the windows cli. They'd point to a nice little how to guide with screenshots and everything. I don't know if any of the thousands of people working there were the all important average user either though, probably not.

  • Primary color mixing charts, aka an excellent way to cause a bayesian to shift their posterior about overlapping circle diagrams.

  • These snakes both lay and eat eggs, so they can get abortion with breakfast.

  • 'Fruit de la mere' is obviously just some attempted tax dodge.

  • Sounds like some deliberately obscure concentrations of power.

    The fear bit is really problematic though as scared people are not ideal decision makers.

  • There's been investment bubbles, overshooting and disingenuous rent seeking in many economies before. It was temporarily reduced in many western economies by various FDR type policies in the '30s-'60s. The '70s and '80s were just the banks wresting back their freedom to implement market "rationality". And we get the benefits ever since.

    People do keep voting for it though so it is hard to argue they're not satisfied. Even the ones who protest vote don't seem to see the "investment" markets as any part of the problem; or as important at all. That's either some pretty effective demagoguery, or some dumb fucking electorate.

  • I think they have something going on with "Black Rod".

  • Did anyone check Marie's grave?

    Most likely she melted into a sentient beam of radiation and is blasting all around the world, interfering with various radio signals, and science experiments, like John Bell's - just to fuck with Einstein.

  • I don't think magic is objective; I think it is in the eye of the beholder.

    If the audience don't understand it, or can be distracted from seeing the truth of it, it's magic or a miracle or whatever to them. And the magician - if they know what they're doing - can wield power over the rubes.

    So before you understand - say, magnetism - better, lodestones can be seen as magical or heaven-sent.

    There'll be physical phenomena today like 'spooky action at a distance' or something where even quite learned observers might not 100% know the laws of physics. Some exploit of that can appear as magical until the laws are figured out and well communicated.

    If it turns out that the underlying laws are stochastic rather than deterministic, then there's always going to be some grey areas i think.

  • Yeah, I can see that from the photo.

  • It is probably just a video he's making about how to self-host a 3GW nuclear power station, so that you can self-host a hundred million raspberry pi cluster.

  • Are there any flies buzzing around?

  • When something like python tries to force readability into your code without your consent?

    That's why I always use a nonsensical class structure with stupid names; it's my chastity belt.

  • All of the sweet, sweet gross domestic product statistics. Mmm I love GDPness.

  • Hey it's just south of Orkney. Small world.

  • Probably because we'd programmed them to make money or energy or something else that might have physical inputs.

    They might figure out that slaves are useful and cheap and helpful in a lot of physical things, like mining, energy generation, maintenance and so on.

    If we program them to make war and steal stuff then yes i think they'd just kill us all. In reality I suspect we'd program them to gather and store energy, make guns and make war. You know in our own image (of the top 0.1% who have all the power).

  • Le app core

  • Very carefully.

    Prep is everything, clean the gorilla thoroughly first - do not skip this step.

    Apply a thin layer to both surfaces.

    The trickiest part is holding the gorilla still for a full 3 minutes for the initial bond to form.

    But once that's done you're golden., it should hold until full strength is achieved after 24 hours (in normal jungle conditions).
