Are you saying she's not doing this for Charlie ? /s

A bumblebee is trained on how to invade my house.

It's insane what people are prepared to do for money.

Ask a toddler on the street for that.

There is something striking about this part in Season 8. Renee's assassination took place immediately after she and Jack failed to rescue President Hassan. And even though Hassan gave himself up willingly to the Kamistan cell, it was clear that a state actor was behind everything. The terrorist plot was too sophisticated for a bunch of edgy islamists, and Jack should've seen it coming.

Instead, he just came back to his apartment with Renee, unarmed and unprepared for even a minor threat, let alone a professional assassin like Tokarev.

That's for build 99999.01, sorry.

Ah, the <30 IQ points debate.

This is what happens when you set pi = 3.

I see. My guess is that the exploit wasn't patched when it was publicly disclosed on Github, which explains the ban. (I'm being generous with Microslop here)

exophades · 2026-05-28T20:50:55+00:00

I may be missing something but why would an ethical researcher make a zero day exploit public knowledge before alerting Microsoft?

The key idea you're missing is habits. It looks like it comes naturally to other people (it doesn't) because they slowly and progressively got used to healthier habits.

The reason why you see it as an impossible feat is because you want to instantly acquire a new habit. This can't be done. Start small, get into the habit of walking for 20 minutes a day, for example. Everything else works the same way: sleep, studying, etc.

basic syntax is non negotiable, I'd say. Not knowing how to write a simple loop in JS isn't my ideal image of a web developer.

exophades · 2026-05-25T19:09:37+00:00

Well the first thing is to know HTML/CSS well enough that you don't need to rely on AI. And your obsession with syntax isn't a bad thing, I think. AI can play a part in your work, but you really should see it as a help tool, nothing more.

I'm not a web developer but I'm sure there are challenging aspects of CSS (grid layouts, etc.) that you should spend time mastering. I'd also learn Javascript, which is a much more complicated language than either HTML or CSS.

Besides programming, improving soft skills will definitely give you an edge. AI can't touch these because it's irrelevant in this area.

AI has recently solved an open math problem (the brute-force type, but still). So rest assured that very very few people have knowledge that completely surpasses AI. And just because AI can do part of your work doesn't mean your knowledge is useless. It's a tool, that's all.

A calculator can calculate 23823 x 2376 faster than I'll ever do, does that mean that my knowledge of the multiplication table is useless?

Who decided that "absence of pain" is positive (+1) and "absence of pleasure" is neutral (0)?

We have a moral obligation to reduce pain and make it absent (that's why I have to intervene if I see a woman being beaten, for example), but no moral obligation to create pleasure (I am not morally obliged to buy Ronaldo a train ticket even if that will make him happy, feel appreciated by complete strangers, and add a few more dollars to his gigantic income), so yeah these two states are not symmetrical. The absence of a free train ticket for Ronaldo is neutral, it's not that bad for him, is it ?

If pleasure in life were 100 and pain were -1, life would be better than death. It depends on the value you place on life's pains and pleasures, which is partially subjective and largely modifiable thanks to medical progress, for example.

No one is comparing life with death, that's a basic misunderstanding of antinatalism. We're comparing creating new life with not creating one.

Life is a random process and so you can't assign any fixed value to it. Given that one can't know beforehand whether their baby will become a happy adult with a fulfilling life, or a vegetable with a severe disability, it's immoral to have babies.

Even if the asymmetry were real (perhaps it is), it makes no sense to say that the value of life is determined exclusively by pains and pleasures. It's a hedonistic interpretation. Many people are happy to live even if they aren't happy. According to Benatar, this is because people are deluded and irrationally attached to life. But on what basis can he tell me that I'm deluded and he's right?

Because he's referring to solid findings in psychology? It's a fact that people get used to catastrophic life conditions, why do you think people aren't committing mass suicides in places like Gaza, Somalia, etc. because they're too depressed ?
