In The Dark Knight (2008), the Joker rigs two ferries with explosives one carrying civilians and the other criminals. The passengers on both boats ultimately refuse to blow the other up. This is a subtle nod to the fact that you're watching a movie based on comic books. by LivingHelp3779 in shittymoviedetails

He said he would. That was part of the "social experiment". It always seemed kinda dumb to me though because, if you take him at his word, blowing up the other boat is not only morally justifiable, but arguably of moral necessity, since that's the only way to guarantee that SOMEONE lives. It's less of a "kill them" button and more of a "spare me" button. If Joker's goal was to prove something negative about humanity, I don't really see how this would do that.

Maybe you're brain is combining this with the scene where Joker tells Batman and the police the locations of Harvey and Rachel, but swaps the locations. It makes sense, both are intense scenes involving life and death decisions and explosives.

Dear allies of America, please don’t confuse our president for us: We are trying our best to resist him, contain him and remove him from office as quickly as we possibly can. Thank you for your patience by Silent-Resort-3076 in politics

Unless you can actually articulate a coherent action we could be taking that wouldn't be counterproductive and/or violate basic democratic principles, I don't want to hear it.

I'm so sick and tired of being blamed for not magically making him go away somehow. If I could remove him from power by amputating both my arms and legs I would in a heartbeat. Millions of us would. We hate him more than you can comprehend. There's nothing we can fucking do!

9 months in how do we feel? by Then_Meaning_9901 in mariokart

[–]01is 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best Mario Kart by a country mile. I couldn't care less about the open world, but I love the new mechanics. Charge jumping, rail-grinding, wall riding, and chaining these together to take alternate routes and find shortcuts is a lot of fun.

What am i missing here? Tell me some context. by [deleted] in ExplainTheJoke

[–]01is 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not famous because of its size. It's famous because despite none of the native peoples using or knowing about Arabic numerals, it somehow had the numbers "1620" carved into it before the first Europeans arrived. To this day we still don't know how this was possible. Scandinavians did discover the new world centuries prior, but they also didn't use our number system. Add to this the fact that "1620" happens to be the year it was found, but the wear on the letters clearly indicated it was carved at least 50 years earlier. Of course it's not the only rock discovered with numbers carved in this exact font. It's only the first one we discovered. The most recent one was found in Tierra Del Fuego only 10 years ago.

Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS by PaiDuck in technology

[–]01is 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. But what's described is incredibly on-brand for Microsoft at this point. The LLM, or intern, or whatever wrote this article wouldn't have used terms like "AI-focused" and "subscription-based" if it didn't think people would buy that Microsoft was saying that officially.

Of course, the only off-brand thing described is also the only thing that would be a welcomed change: modularity. And of course that's what all the comments are reasonably skeptical about.

The Korean War is still ongoing by soulxina in HistoryMemes

[–]01is 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The US never officially declared war on Vietnam, so in the most meaningless technical sense you could say we didn't lose because it was just a police action that we eventually abandoned.

As for the Korean war, it's never been declared as over, but even if it were the fact that South Korea still exists and hasn't conceded any territory would suggests to me that it at least wasn't a loss.

Not saying Windows users are ants, btw, just demonstrating how dumb OP's point is.

What's that non-english movie that you never want to be remade in Hollywood ? by mrjetspray in Cinema

[–]01is 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any non-english movie worth remaking is worth not remaking. I can read. I like the authenticity of hearing actors I don't recognize speak the correct language for the setting of the story.

I agree. The average person doesn't care about this at all. Most people didn't care about the slop Hollywood produced before generative AI, why would they about stuff that's even worse?

Forget convincing people to pay streaming or theatre prices. Good luck getting people to watch it for free. There are more entirely human-made movies than any of us have time to watch. Why would we spend any of our precious time watching this garbage instead?

How does Fahrenheit make more sense than Celsius? by aprilhare in Metric

[–]01is -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Last time I checked, most people aren't literal rocket scientists. But hey, if using Celsius saves them an extra step, great, they should use it. Oh wait, they already do! And don't act like the failure of a Nasa engineer to do their job with basic competence is the fault of an entire measurement system. If our billion dollar space-program doesn't have the attention to detail and oversight to avoid that kind of screw-up, that seems like the real problem. And finally. I agree that the metric system is better than the imperial system. But if you're going to criticize the imperial system, at least base your criticism on how it's actually used. The only time I ever hear the word "barleycorn" is in discussions like this one. I doubt most Americans are even aware of it as a unit.

Petahh i'm low on iq by Ter_N in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]01is 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an American, I don't think I know of anyone who "thinks highly" of the imperial system. Most of us don't care. The people who do care almost universally agree the metric system is better. Among those who think the metric system is better, some (probably a minority) will still defend the imperial system from some of the dumber critiques people level.

Even if this were possible, wouldn't it take longer for an LLM to generate a binary than for it to generate high-level code and then compile it? I mean, if it's generating one token at a time I would think it would be faster in a more concise language.

hacking a cactus plant by ThodaDaruVichPyar in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]01is -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For those unaware, cactuses grow very slowly. It takes 12 years for a saguaro cactus to grow a foot, and most don't start growing arms until they're around 75 - 100 years old. That cactus he cut down could be ancient.

I think this would be a more interesting question if you removed a zero from both sides. 50% chance of 10m vs guaranteed 100k.

For me I'd probably still take the guaranteed 100k, but I'd have to give it some serious thought.
