Some dude carrying most of a bicycle said hello today and then told me I looked good.
It was nice to hear. Since I don’t want to fuck someone who could very well have been homeless and, judging from the parts of the bike he had was probably on meth, I just said thanks and moved on. Like, I could have taken is a compliment or been like so many insecure jerkoffs and got up in arms about it, but just because you’re straight doesn’t mean a compliment stops feeling good.
The fact that you’re stopping to read what the person said and form a charitable interpretation of it instead of just leaping down their throat while smashing your phone / keyboard with rage is commendable.
Ignoring the actual content / intended meaning of what they said the moment THIS right here disappears from Lenny is the moment it’s dead.
I mean, if they actually think the holocaust was hunky dory then fuck them, but I agree it’s probably just poorly phrased.
The lack of critical thought on all those types of subreddits drives me insane. People post self serving narratives that no one seems to even try to read between the lines of, there is no consideration for the other party’a perspective. People seem to want validation, they almost always get it, and any attempts offering nuance or getting more details are met with derision.
It wasn’t always like that. Reddit has become such a shit pile.
I mean, given that every search engine is pretty much fucking useless now I usually don’t even bother using them and to right to DeepSeek when I need knowledge.
And it truly is incredible to be able to ask questions, get answers, and then go back and forth with the model to get as deep as you need to go. There’s moments, when it works, when it feels like interacting with the computer on Star Trek.
Buts it’s wrong SO OFTEN. Which doesn’t bother me so much because I’m not a fucking idiot and can cross reference what I learn, test the answers, and find other sources.
You have to be a special kind of stupid to take it all literally and at face value.
But then again the bible is still widely read so I really think people underestimate just how fucking stupid people are.
I got really into so a few years back, partly as a hobby, partly to help me learn to code, partly out of the belief that knowing this could be good for a career transition.
About six months in the realization hit me that this isn’t one of those job creating inventions. It’s a job destroying invention.
I still tinker around with so a lot and even at its current development I think it’s a really, really fucking cool tool if you’re running a model locally and have control over it, but i honestly believe it will kill capitalism, and that it’s going to be bloody, bloody fight.
Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. Seems a really relevant question for anyone looking to learn a low level programming language.
I’d say it’s fairly in depth but I don’t know what I don’t know. I get, at a high level, how memory addresses work, understand what ram does, I get the concept of hyperthreading and have written a couple of python scripts that have used it for so applications..
I’ve fucked around with a lot of hex tables.
I took formal logic in uni and while I sucked st it I did learn a lot about the fundamental logic underlying it all
I’m not a phenomenal coder yet but it’s definitely doable. I didn’t take a class or read any books I just tried to code shit until eventually the anger and frustration lead to a moment where it kind of clicked and I was just like, writing line after line after line of code.
It was so weird. When I woke up that morning I felt like I’d never learn and then I could just kind of do it.
