Without bonus points: climbing. It’s always done in groups, the community is very open and you spend a lot of time just talking.
Basically you show up to a local climbing gym, try a boulder, some guy tries it after you, you say something like “I think you need to switch hands here”, you start chatting, ask him about outdoor climbing in the area, he says that he’s going to a nice stop this weekend, invites you to join, you go and hang out with people all day. It really is that simple.
Even better, let’s make being happy mandatory.
Yes, the democracy is crumbling but at least some people will get paid.
Profiting from dictatorship must be the most American thing ever.
And if the flight is over an hour late you get back some of the money!
It’s not a civil war only because no one is fighting back.
In Poland the senators and congressmen have constitutional right to intervene in the administration. They can basically show up to any public office and say “I’m from the senate, what the fuck are you up to?”. They not always get access to the “backstage” but arresting them for it would be unimaginable. They also have immunity so detaining them would be illegal. How weak the US system is in comparison is mind boggling. Entire opposition could be put in jail tomorrow and nothing would be done about it.
Private or obscure ones I guess.
Private and obscure benchmarks are very often gamed by the benchmarkers. It’s very difficult to design a fair benchmark (e.g chrome can be optimized to load Gmail for obvious reasons. maybe we should choose a more fair website when comparing browsers? but which? how can we know that neither browser has optimizations specific for page X?). Obscure benchmarks are useless because we don’t know if they measure the same thing. Private benchmarks are definitely fun but only useful to the author.
If a benchmark is well established you can be sure everyone is trying to game it.
I don’t see it. “Tech bros” are a subset of people in tech. I don’t feel lumped with them. It’s like saying “reckless drives” is offensive because it lumps normal drivers with assholes.
If anything it’s offensive to women. Elizabeth Holmes was a typical “tech bro”. Not only men are assholes in tech. It’s a discriminatory term.
Why?
Too big to fail!
Microbenchmarks which are heavily gamed
Which benchmarks aren’t?
It’s his tan line. None of those guys ever saw the sun without wearing a suit.
He hates him now because he didn’t get a position in his administration. But when he still hoped for one he stood behind Trump like a nice little boy:
So we had Romney, Cruz, Christie, Rubio… All humiliated by Trump. Now add Musk to the list. It’s amazing how weak all the right wingers are. They all fold immediately before Trump. Trump is a baby, all other dictators laugh at him. Yet in US is the alpha politician. Amazing.
Why would I ram a car without a baby inside?
It does like like AI which is strange because it’s basically something like this:
on top of a washing machine. Nothing strange. You can just google it:
So… do people use AI now to copy images from the internet? WTF?
Of course they are. They always did. The entire ecosystem is so closely tied to google services that it’s almost impossible to use the phone without them (if you want to use banking and security apps). For now the only alternative is iOS and I’m starting to doubt if mobile Linux will ever become usable.
