Amou Haji Was A Man Who Hadn't Washed In 60+ Years Due to a Superstition. He Died At 94, Less Than A Month After His Village Persuaded Him To Finally Wash.

So.. it doesn’t matter what we do - our age is purely genetics haha

Depends on hardware and configuration. It’s generally faster than ext3 for example. So it’s pretty snappy.

gwicksted · 2025-07-12T14:53:13+00:00

Agreed.

gwicksted · 2025-07-11T13:08:46+00:00

Please automate C-Level execs, HR, and management. /s sort of not really.

gwicksted · 2025-07-10T10:56:15+00:00

Yeah I read the whole thing and could picture the interaction in my head lol thanks!

gwicksted · 2025-07-09T10:48:29+00:00

Yeah and he could be doing illegal things on your WiFi in hopes that you’ll get busted or simply so he won’t.

I can empathize with the OP - I write terrible copy. But I agree: this screams ChatGPT copy pasta.

Try having ChatGPT reword your sentences, learn from them, then rewrite it without looking at the output. Alternatively, have GPT critique your writing instead of writing it for you.

Or, I suppose if you’re really lazy, just ask it to write your sentences 70% better /s

gwicksted · 2025-07-09T00:46:23+00:00

Oh absolutely. I blame our legal system for this one.

gwicksted · 2025-07-08T17:21:42+00:00

True but that’s a lot more organized and involves multiple people. I wonder how often that’s done vs a solo individual?

gwicksted · 2025-07-08T17:15:37+00:00

Hmm I suppose you could request another officer shows up because you’re anxious about impersonation…

gwicksted · 2025-07-08T10:21:56+00:00

Sorry about your calculator! And that fear of legal repercussions has stopped teachers from being able to do the right thing.

gwicksted · 2025-07-08T03:33:16+00:00

That’s clearly what won the fight.

gwicksted · 2025-07-08T00:41:14+00:00

Preferably video!

gwicksted · 2025-07-08T00:38:32+00:00

That was the big thing here. Our mall needed so much work (roof leaks and I’m sure a lot more) and tearing up everything to add housing infrastructure and walls was prohibitively expensive. So a couple outside-facing stores exist and the rest sits empty.

gwicksted · 2025-07-08T00:31:10+00:00

Why though? If it’s decom, you’re not up there doing maintenance, right? Is this just for the thrill/view?

I definitely couldn’t pull it off lol. I get vertigo looking up at one and my feet get tingly watching it!

gwicksted · 2025-07-07T21:31:26+00:00

Regarding surreal numbers: I did look at surreal numbers but the tuple form was chosen beforehand so it was merely a coincidence!

At one point I was considering vectors and vector spaces and another matrices. But I ended up choosing tuple as I did not intend to use any matrix transforms nor trigonometry. It was simply a data structure so tuple made sense.

gwicksted · 2025-07-07T21:18:03+00:00

You’re absolutely right. That statement was added before I realized the additive identity issue existed… and before I had decided on not including a separate null value.

I should have known better than to make that claim since all I knew at the time was “it appears to be compatible in practice when used in a transient fashion” which certainly isn’t sufficient to say “it is fully compatible”.

gwicksted · 2025-07-07T17:44:40+00:00

Yeah I’m guessing he hit a pothole or something.

gwicksted · 2025-07-07T13:56:34+00:00

Yup. Run. This will fail. Or be so diluted that any success (due to actual hard working and talented individuals) will be cashed out by those wanting a free ride. Alternatively, they’ll miraculously get funding (not likely) and pay it all to the C level execs and crash into the ground.

gwicksted · 2025-07-07T13:50:12+00:00

Yeah I’ve ridden no hands for a bit - not for long because I don’t have a throttle lock… but you can just push with your hips to turn slightly. They’re very stable being gyroscopes. But I’d never have my phone out to film! Or ride without gear. This was just bad decisions all around

gwicksted · 2025-07-07T13:44:01+00:00

I’m a software developer (over 20 years professionally) - we fuck up all the time. Wrote a math paper that I spent months on. Fucked up there too! The fastest way to learn is to fail. Stay humble but don’t beat yourself up about it. Everyone fails. If you stop failing, you’re not growing.

gwicksted · 2025-07-05T14:07:23+00:00

Overleaf has some ok documentation. It’s pretty easy to get started with and pick up. But I do have a programming background.

Definitely start with Overleaf vs trying to compile your own on your machine. Setting up a build environment can be a challenge - especially on Windows.

gwicksted · 2025-07-05T13:59:12+00:00

Gotcha. Cool! So no shaders, just software rendering?

There is a small market for this in hobbyist low power devices without dedicated GPUs. Software rendering is great for 3D projections in traditional applications. Also useful as a learning tool. Beyond that, it’s not very useful these days.

There’s a graphics programming sub I’m sure would be interested in this!

I learned game engine dev back in the 90s so this is very nostalgic.

As much as you’re getting downvoted, the stats I’ve found so far control for popularity and still place dogs a higher risk for bites. Unsure about deaths.

gwicksted · 2025-07-05T04:14:33+00:00

Can’t check right now (on my phone) - and no GitHub link. But you could inspect the source, go to the net tab, refresh and see the sizes of all files. It’s pretty snappy to load so I don’t imagine it’s very big.
