except its not. maybe a fat wad of code happens faster, but then you have to go read it and understand it and edit it and resolve all the stupid shit it did, and all of that takes longer than just writing it yourself in the first place. if all you care about is lines of code, sure yeah it speeds up the creation of garbage, but if you care at all about having good maintainable code at the end it absolutely does not. but what does what i think matter, nuance on the internet is dead.

a laptop isnt capable of even a teeny tiny baby fraction of what a human brain can do. the only thing a laptop can do better than a human is calculating and data recall. the entire reason we made computers was to augment those weaknesses in our minds, because theyre so useful. but in terms of data processing, learning, prediction, planning, a laptop is basically an abacus being compared to a supercomputer, and thats being extremely generous to the abacus. human brains have had billions of years of evolution demanding more performant brains under severe energy restrictions. yeah we’re way way way more efficient than any computer.

no it cant. every time someone does a study they find it slows people down and degrades quality. youre just parroting an ad basically.

whats extra funny about that statement is humans are insanely efficient

i do most of those things, and i will also add dont smoke, dont drink, and take estrogen. but you can pry sugar from my cold dead hands. whats the point of living a long time and staying young if you cant even enjoy yourself?

human brains use bang-bang control to control our body movement. all muscles are either on or off, with many individually actuateable groups of fibers per major muscle group. if youve ever lifted weights and started to shake on a hard lift, thats your body switching rapidly between different muscle fibers trying to complete the lift. body feedback takes more than 100 ms, which is way too long to do active feedback control on a lot of the really fast actions we do with our bodies, so for those our brain just does it open loop. it generates a sequence based on your intent and past training and just lets it rip, but we for sure can modify the sequence midway.

this is part of why humanoid robots look so uncanny when they move, they do continuous control which is fundamentally different from how we move our bodies. our brains have special pathways that process others body movements and what those robots do doesnt line up with how we know our bodies move so it looks wrong.

its really funny when they call us millennials boomer…

i need to see the thing the concept of being a lesbian becomes. and also the concept of being trans as a thing. then the thing of the concept of sex. oh and maybe the concept of differential equations as a thing. that would probably look really cool.

the hill is beans

yeah i was gonna say ive got some naked titties right here

ive had pretty good results with wine/proton for gaming on linux. i dual booted for a while but it felt like climbing in a polluted swamp every time i booted up windows, and it kept fucking up my boot partition randomly. giving it up for good hurt for a second but it was so worth it its crazy. i dont even use it at work anymore.

corsair makes cheap shitty garbage hardware run by lazy bloated shitty software

meehoy menoy!

I’m Your Baby Tonight by Whitney Houston, or Because I Love You (The Postman Song) by Stevie B. I guess December 1990 was a romantic month.

its almost like the problem is capitalism. wait that cant be right…

wooow youre only exploiting people slightly less than you could be? color me impressed. and benefits day one? how generous of you not forcing people to wait for health care that they may require to continue living. like i said, fuck the company.

fuck the business. they want fair treatment they can provide fair compensation.

does it have to be a masters in librarian? ive got this engineering degree i wouldnt mind using for something a little less corporate.
