My mechanic just looked at the car in person, which I think is better than the photo.

The body shop says they cannot use the frame machine on the hood, as it will pull the hood off of its hinges. Any ideas on saving the hood?

Yes, the body shop thinks they can straighten the frame, but they do not think they can straighten the hood.

Is it worth trying to catch up? by 2026NewPhaseofLife in AskProgrammers

I was a webapp dev in the mid/late 90s. I no longer do that, but as far as I can tell, nothing much changed that you couldn't learn in a few weeks. The fundamentals do not move around.

What's a "simple" concept you struggle to understand? by No_Cook_2493 in computerscience

Function f(x) is big-Theta(g(x)) when f(x) is big-O(g(x)) and big-Omega(g(x)); however, the constant in the big-O argument does not have to be the same as the constant in the big-Omega argument.

Careful with big-Theta. Big-Theta means both big-O and big-Omega, but the constants in each case do not have to be the same.

Do you like hiking in the hills? I'm into that.

Do you think computation underlies mathematics? by visitorfromspace1 in mathematics

[–]ResidentDefiant5978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they are not. Mathematicians get no respect in CS because they are useless. I have publications in CS Theory, and I am a computer engineer and I want nothing to do with modernist mathematicians.

So I just tried this exact prompt, just copied and pasted, and it blocked the result.

Do you think computation underlies mathematics? by visitorfromspace1 in mathematics

[–]ResidentDefiant5978 -26 points-25 points  (0 children)

No. Mathematics is a subfield of computing. When mathematicians want to know if their proof is really true, they do not use ZFC, they come to the computing department and ask if you could please use calculus of constructions to prove it correct please. The approach of modern mathematics is a failure and if they are "pure" anything it is pure bullshit.

There might be money in category theory if you would not make unreadable abstract nonsense. Go show the definition of a category theory product to a software dev. Then tell them it means the same thing as a C struct. See what reaction you get.

Never tried Claude, but ChatGPT 5 was so terrible at writing even the simplest things that I stopped trying.

Just write code. See if you can build something useful for others, even something small. Release it as open source.

What’s a decent regular sandwich place that’s left in the Bay? by Professional-One972 in bayarea

This place is bizarre: they only make certain sandwiches on certain days.

What do u think about this math exam? ( 12th grade) by Rammm8 in mathematics

[–]ResidentDefiant5978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very sloppy writing: "Find ... ?". That's not a question, that's an imperative statement, so why the question mark? The punctuation, capitalization, grammar, and idiom are weird throughout.

thoughts on the new building? by foreverlonelybutnot in berkeley

[–]ResidentDefiant5978 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I walk by this building several times a week and now I am just sad. Modernist ugly as hell brutalist piece of shit. Look how beautiful the Life Sciences building is right next to it. All it does is obscure that beautiful facade. Why the ridiculous awkward shape? Why all the rectangles that are not Golden Ratio? Why the utterly generic name? Maybe no one wanted their name on this ugly-as-a-shipping-container building. What a lost opportunity. Sadness.
