@thijsniks So is overpriced and low quality public transportation
I do not fault anyone for trying to scam them back

@ShitpostRock Not to mention the "if buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing" counterargument to predatory licensing
Works every time

@Pirat_Nation Console gamers just can't stop catching L's
I'd feel bad for them if they weren't so obnoxious

@is__Kaizo I don't have a problem with them using LLMs, I just think they're hypocrites for using it when they couldn't solve a problem on their own and then going "but we would NEVER EVER support AI, it's le bad creativity killer!", like fuck off man

@KinderheimRune I would argue Americans share more of our culture than Turks, especially since they're all European ancestors
Not to mention a lot of these Temu Germans here don't speak German either so language is a moot point imo
Something something dogs born in horse stables

@ClassicGamerTWR It's like an overzealous booksmart junior who can only work at full speed, no matter the precision required
Great for inflating lines of code written, bad for functional software without a lot of oversight

@itsClintSteel @ClassicGamerTWR I'm reading this an hour after argon tried adding a new test to my test suite
The problem? That test already existed. In the same file.
How many trillions of parameters and gpu years do we need for superhuman capabilities again? A 20W organic lump in my head does it better

@Krass_kr Hope I won't get raped by customs fees when my plush arrives

[Five Hundred Cigarettes @luminance42]

@MichaelHauda It's probably not enough though
Then again, worrying about having been psyopped 24/7 doesn't help either so it's whatever

@azrigato There should at least be a spending limit, yeah
But at the end of the day, it's just a fool, his money, and a tale as old as time

[Five Hundred Cigarettes @luminance42]

@konesiur @1kristijan No counterargument was provided
(Also I fucked up the numbers, I'm getting way less than that rn but the point still stands: Drastically diminishing returns for most people most of the time)

@JAIL_FACELMAO It gets the redditors soypointing at [new model] as they splurge 500$ a month on the highest subscription tier

@nychange Isn't that just vigilante justice, thus making them criminals?
Good shit guys, you're totally not just giving the other side more arguments

[Five Hundred Cigarettes @luminance42]

@GameGPU_com Just open the window?

@GaryDevenay @bendee983 Knowing how computers execute instructions is COMPLETELY useless and will NOT make you a better programmer
ANY knowledge of how things work a layer below what you're used to is WASTED and you should spend NO TIME WHATSOEVER on it. AT ALL.

[Five Hundred Cigarettes @luminance42]

@bendee983 It'll make those with manual programming experience all the more valuable
I hope I will be one of them

@criticalanna Nice, I'm looking to emigrate as well once the opportunity arises, but for different reasons
It really feels like the government hates honest working class citizens

@Psalteric Electromagnetic waves induced by a flowing electric current found in air.
This is cool and all but we've known about interference caused by wired devices for centuries ever since some Danish guy turned on a battery near his compass
