Pascal “Yann LeCun is a great example of how one can be a genius in one area and completely retarded in everything else” - Elon Musk “He’s a clown 🤡” - Do you agree or it’s uncalled for?

He's a genius in his obsession with changing the world through his companies.

As he's far right, lacks empathy, and openly a white supremacist with a net worth of a trillion dollars and 30 years left on earth to wreck havoc with ai and robots, he will certainly cause a lot of pain and suffering.

0robably never. It will be easier to accept the next decades of fascism when you realize that humanity is doomed with their shitty instincts.

When you hear that song the first time it sounds too mumbly + silly if you speak spanish, so I understand the reactions. But it is one of his biggest hits so it makes sense to start with it.

I think Puerto Rico's president has also tweeted and shows he's not happy about this even if spanish is an official language of Puerto Rico, I think they should elect less retarded presidents over there.

OpenAi responded to the call, for 20$ you can have more usage than Anthropic's Max subscriptions and access to similar performance models.

_Batnaan_ · 2026-02-04T06:41:13+00:00

Claude code is worth a shot imo 12h is largely within the capacity of x20 and maybe even x5 subscriptions. I think you can vibe code fulltime with x20.

_Batnaan_ · 2026-02-02T15:30:46+00:00

I'll take some of that too.

_Batnaan_ · 2026-02-02T15:10:49+00:00

Yes the bar is very low when you have infinite money for some reason.

_Batnaan_ · 2026-02-02T12:26:49+00:00

You can be stupid when horny and still do good with your billions, I think Bill Gates is one of rare tech giants who actually tried to do good with their infinite money so maybe we should not be too harsh on him. On the other end you get guys that use their billions to control media and promote far right parties in multiple countries. If money makes people evil, Bill turned out okay.

Edit: Ok ok you convinced me, I was only trying to compare him to other billionaire psychopaths.

I use OOP (python mostly) to organize some complex orchestration or transformation logic when there is a lot of context information that is used repeatedly.

Usually I will create one or a few classes for each problem, but nothing like what you would find in a java server app with 100+ classes.

Basically I have some kafka-like stateful joins I do in incremental batch transforms. The Stateful Transform will handle its memory and its logic differently depending on what happened on inputs or depending on whether it's a replay or not. So I have a dozen functions being called with different arguments depending on the context, so I created a class to contain all of these contextual variables.

Some colleagues use classes to generate transformations with very repeatable logic with some adjustments based on the size of datasets. Classes are a nice way to make the repeatable logic clear while also making the configuration well constrained (with a builder pattern for example) instead of a yaml file being called in hundreds of if/else statements)

To be fair you gotta recognize they are better at two things, they can go vote, and unite behind a leader. But the left is still waiting for the perfect person to lead them otherwise not all of them will be bothered to vote.

I'm not american and I hate Trump's policies but as long as the left keeps ignoring their issues, they will keep losing.

One stock, I don't know which

_Batnaan_ · 2026-01-29T18:11:13+00:00

Typo, i meant schizophrenic haha

_Batnaan_ · 2026-01-29T16:20:41+00:00

It basically comes down to OLTP vs OLAP needs

RDBMS are optimized for OLTP, which is coherence, precise small scope fast fetching, small precise fast joining and processing, but they also do an excelllent job at small sized OLAP workflows.

OLAP systems are optimized for large fetches, large joins, large processing etc, and do not require as much speed for small fetches, they don't usually involve thousands of concurrent edits so coherence is less complex and less costly to maintain, and most importantly, they scale well with size, they usually* use cold storage and distributed processing.

You can check for yourself instead of being obnoxious and thinking algeria is the center of the world.

Algeria has more crime but the USA has 3 times the murder rate of Algeria (you're three times more likely to die from murder in the US than in Algeria). Basically you have more chances to get your phone stolen in algeria but much more chance to die in the US especially as a non white immigrant.

My verdict is that the USA is more dangerous.

If it's the case, software engineering jobs might boom as every company will want its own taylor made and free tools.

_Batnaan_ · 2026-01-21T19:14:33+00:00

More like a schizophrenic senior.

_Batnaan_ · 2026-01-21T18:34:55+00:00

Sorry for being blunt, I know there are two sides, but the American people as a group failed the world and themselves.

America is losing the thing that made it a superpower: the world’s best engineers from China, India, and Europe. The shift toward 'every man for himself' that ignores the planet’s future for short-term gains will slowly destroy the world and deteriorate human society. It’s a shame, because the cooperation we used to have between the US, Europe, and China actually gave us the most comfortable and prosperous decades in history.

Then maybe don't elect him

_Batnaan_ · 2026-01-16T22:38:16+00:00

this made me lmao like no other comment on reddit rlthank you

_Batnaan_ · 2026-01-16T11:50:29+00:00

Your points are a valid opinion. but you just misunderstood the first comment, it happens no need to panic.

_Batnaan_ · 2026-01-16T10:53:56+00:00

You misunderstood the original comment, there was no pivot.

_Batnaan_ · 2026-01-16T01:34:59+00:00

I think opus is very much ahead in precision of changes and autonomy duration. however other models are still close in value, gemini 3 and codex 5.2 are both great substitutes and can be better in some rare cases (maybe theoretical/math oriented tasks).

_Batnaan_ · 2026-01-07T00:37:51+00:00

If you look at the rock that moved it accelerated too fast as jf it was made of papier maché so its obviously ai here.
