I wonder what the people killed in Auschwitz would think of this guy using what happened to them to justify his own utter inhumanity.

Under the premise that eventually this endless growth cycle reaches some kind of an end point, then ultimately yes. The wealth has to keep increasing somehow. When you have saturated every market, eliminated every competitor, captured every last regulator, innovated every last facet, optimised every metric, you have to start cutting wages, or replacing labour with machines. When evey worker is replaced or the wages are less than enough for survival, no one's getting paid. Who buys the stuff?

Eloquently phrased.

God-dayum

Imagine being cock blocked by your Dad's smoking habit. Tough break. Thanks Dad.

Godspeed

Usually how it goes for me:

1. Make post
2. See typo
3. Edit the post to fix it
4. Introduce new mistake
5. See another typo
6. GOTO 3

This has been a lifelong habit for me and something I respect and appreciate and think virtuous in others, but I'm starting to think I should train myself out of it. Saying "I think", or "to the best of my knowledge" frequently seems to broadcast "I'm just guessing at random without thought" or with some people it seems to convey "I'm wrong about...". It also very often seems to encode "it's best not to listen to the remaining words of this sentence in case my wrongness is contagious".

As frustrated as I sound by this, I kind of get it I suppose. I thought I was indicating humility and a willingness to change the opinions or ideas I express if the conversation partner has reason to challenge them, however it seems in many cases it just indicates a lack of confidence in my statements. They perhaps might argue that they never thought I was arrogant or lacking in humility to begin with and of course I could be wrong, but everyone could so specifically bringing it up or alluding to it unnecessarily like that just suggests you're trying to mask that you have no idea what you're talking about. I suppose one might also say that the willingness to change your opinion in light of a challenge to it is supposed to be a given so there's no point trying to show that either. I don't know if anyone really thinks any of this, but there's probably something like that operating subconsciously.

Do they actually try to run with the idea that the KFC on Christmas thing is how it's celebrated outsideof Japan as well? I just assumed that they'd kind of formed their own tradition that's less formal and less associated with home cooking since it's not a real holiday and just a kind of for fun thing.

Wait what was the ethical dilemma working with NASA?

Well I mean I probably would have traded it for a PS2 as well admittedly.

I don't know man, I mean, it would have been a pretty crappy gift for you personally but I think all the rest of us might have appreciated it if you hadn't taken back world peace.

If potato masher and cheese grater got together we'd never open another drawer again.

Since it isn't happening to you personally I guess it would be hard to back up with evidence but is there not somewhere you could anonymously report these abuses and concerns to? Any government department? At the very least the misrepresented conditions seem like they must be a violation of something . If it's anonymous hopefully you'd be shielded and you don't personal face the same risks to your well being. If there's anything that is actionable it could result in better conditions all round.

Your tip might be a piece of information that they can add to any other such information to trigger an investigation maybe. Here in Australia at least, the government does at least sometimes act on abusive labour practices, they've swooped in on farmers employing fruit pickers who are almost entirely foreign and who suffered absolutely blatant wage theft and abuse and other high profile instances such as foreign embassy staff being treated as slaves.

Ah but is it still the same hand?

Super disconercting when you're not the one in the lift.

Well, the chimp, the duck and the frog all looked pretty cool.

ChatGPT is pretty helpful despite the hate. I've found myself using it quite a bit recently. Situations like these where you don't get a joke are good ones in particular, since it's something you might have struggled to figure out just by Googling before. However, you do need to be able to check the output to gain value from it and that's kind of one of its limitations since you sometimes end up needing to do as much research or work verifying what it tells you as you tried to avoid by using it.

In this case, where it's not so much a question of facts and it's more about interpretation, a simple test of asking yourself "does this make sense?" could have provided a clue for you that chatGPT was struggling here. One of its problems is that it just always tries to be helpful and as a function of how it works that often ends up favouring the production of some kind of response over an accurate response even when it can't really produce an answer. It doesn't actually just magically know everything and if you can't confidently explain the joke to someone else in your own words after reading it's "explanation" then the odds are good that it just fed you nonsense which superficially looked like it must mean something.

In this case it seems, that the biggest problem was that the joke itself didn't entirely make sense on its premise, so there wasn't really a correct answer and chatGPT just tried really hard to conjure one where it didn't really exist.

Is it actually non-deterministic or just too many variables and too much sensitivity to initial conditions influencing the scheduler's decisions for the programmer to reasonably be able to predict?

Just never gets old. Classic. Still I'd miss the bacon and the toast is a bit anaemic. I'd wolf it down if it was put in front of me though. Tomatoes look decently cooked too which is rare to see, I also like your double egg going on I like to do that sometimes. Is that blood sausage of some kind? I don't get to include that very often as it's not commonly sold where I am so I usually just have the typical Cumberland sausages. I personally like to have this dish with potato farls as well as toast because I just love my carbs so much. I recommend. Anyway hope you enjoyed it, got a craving for an English breakfast now.
