@ayanavision As someone who fits into the bin of “guy who listens to musical songs but often doesn’t watch the musicals,” I don’t think this is really a hazbin/helluva only thing. A LOT of musical songs don’t hold up out of context by themselves 😅

[Firal Fox @FiralFox]

@Melon_mow Lol. If you ever work in scientific computing or any other esoteric niche of CS where there are not a lot of (good) open source examples.

You’ll find that humans are still much, much better than AI.

The Hiyu was a blast 😁

@lonzowastaken (Aka, there can be heavy correlation between similar seeds)

[Firal Fox @FiralFox]

@lonzowastaken What’s funny is It might be doing that. RNGs are designed to create random *sequences* of numbers. Spawning 1000 agents at once to only look at the first number in diff random sequences can result in a graph like this because by default RNGs are seeded based on the system time.

@SkirmishMc @coconut_jpgg You never mentioned a specific “industry” in your message that I responded to

I used to work in the film (animation) industry and currently work as a shader programmer, so the demoscene example is quite relevant to my niche of the coding industry 🙂

[Firal Fox @FiralFox]

“Programming is not an art”

- The demoscene literally exists and the things people made in that space are insane works of art

[Nauron @ArtFacility]

Programming is not an art because there is always a best solution to a problem, its pure logic

frontend design, game mechanics, then yes that can be a creative expression

but i never heard of someone claiming while making a database architecture that they are making art

[Firal Fox @FiralFox]

@SkirmishMc @coconut_jpgg Look up the demoscene and its history. (Some) People do code for artistic expression

Boat time :3

@Annoyed_Science @GraffamMic68980 @AlextheYounga “But without causation there is no correlation…”

“…two variables are actually correlated… it’s just that neither of the two cause each other.”

Obvious thing aside, saying “there is no effect without a cause” is a weaker statement vs “no specific effect from a certain cause”

@WVMountainBalls @ConstantUnder @LOsaParks Are kindergarten/pre-k teachers a worthless?

Are dental assistents a worthless?

Are pastors and preachers a worthless?

Are the people who help troubled/abused youths worthless?

Dude. This impacts way more than just art history nerds.

[Firal Fox @FiralFox]

@ConstantUnder @LOsaParks This is doing nothing to mitigate harm. It’s a bandaid that Trump is doing to try to shave a money off of his disastrous amounts of spending.

This is literally not mitigating ANY harm.

[Firal Fox @FiralFox]

@ConstantUnder @LOsaParks Livable income -> I meant income which people can live off of and pay off their debts. I ran out of characters

[Firal Fox @FiralFox]

@ConstantUnder @LOsaParks People of all walks of life are needed for a functioning society. In a free market economy, not all walks of life make a livable income. I would happily let my tax payer money subsidize the student loans of productive peoples’ careers, because that is a GOOD use of my taxes

[Firal Fox @FiralFox]

@ConstantUnder @LOsaParks If someone makes the choice to take a specific career path and they are not born into money - it does force them to rely on private loans.

… dude federal loans are taken in the students name, not the parents. Only in private loans would the parents be collateral.

[Firal Fox @FiralFox]

@ConstantUnder @LOsaParks The FHA oversees private loans for mortgages, which you’re right does protect the homebuyer.

This is controversial, because this change by Trump forces students to have to rely on private loans instead of federal ones (much much more predatory and does not protect them)

[Firal Fox @FiralFox]

@BetaEtaDelota It’s just the typical Republican gambit.

Is there a thing they want to change? (the FAA, Texas public schools)

Convince their idiot base that people they don’t understand are a part of it and they will hate it.

Then get enough public hatred for them to get a pass to change it

[Firal Fox @FiralFox]

@SenTuberville Imagine being at the highest level of the United States government and instead of helping the people you represent,

You obsess over people who dress up as cartoon characters on their own time for fun. Dude.

Do better.

[Firal Fox @FiralFox]

Imagine: You hold power at the highest level of the American government. Instead of improving the lives of your constituents you try to undermine people’s trust in the FAA by

*checks notes*

Being afraid of people who dress as cartoon characters for fun 😂🤣🤣

Tommy Tuberville: Many airline pilots, flight attendants, and air traffic controllers are part of the furry community. It's terrifying.
