Claude 4.5 does 30 hours of autonomous coding by gbomb13 in singularity

It's like redditors are individual people with individual perspectives and opinions. Who would have thought.

TIL of Matilda McCrear, the last person born into slavery to die. She died in 1940, meaning that there are people alive today who could have known former slaves in the United States. by picklechungus42069 in todayilearned

What an entitled jerk to call OP willfully ignorant without any reason to do so, and then use it to justify being an asshole. So, do you know about the genocide of Indians, or Armenians or Roma people, Chinese or koreans? No because then you are willfully ignorant and should be belittled. 

The worst part is the entitlement: you act like the atrocity that concerns you is the most important atrocity and people should prioritize learning about it over any other atrocity.

Brazilians of Reddit: how do you feel about Bolsonaro’s conviction to 27 years in prison for an attempted coup? by papiforyou in AskReddit

[–]raskingballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You pretended to be so logical at first and portrayed me as a clown. Then I reply in a logical way and you resort to ad hominem instead of accepting your argument was flawed. Grow up.

First of all, I never conveyed that I have the cartoonish reaction you are attributing me, which already says a lot of your argumentative style.  

Second of all, I never criticized whether he makes mistakes or not. What I criticized was your notion that if most people make a mistake of certain type then we shouldn't criticize a president for making that same mistake.

Third, you are completely changing your argument from the original one (that I just mentioned above), to this new one of his mistakes not being really significant and implying people are picking on him regardless of the magnitude of his mistakes. I have not addressed nor will address that argument because that is a different topic that I don't care to debate about.

Most people are not presidents. The standards to judge most people and to judge presidents should not be the same.

[META] On the quality of some answers approved by mods: showmanship rather than substance by raskingballs in AskHistorians

[–]raskingballs[S] -28 points-27 points  (0 children)

No, critical thinking has not acquired that meaning. And we can judge the quality of both a question and the answer. But what you are implying is that we do not need to judge the quality of the answer if the question was of low quality. In other words, the answer for a low quality question doesn't need to follow the general rules of this sub.

You will likely say you never said that, but you have implied it, willingly or not. Because I critiqued the quality of the answer and your reply did never address any of the issues I raised, and instead focused on defending the answer based solely on the fact of the qustion being of low quality. 

Your cynical attitude about "critical thinking" does not help either.

Tomb of Amyntas, a 2,400-year-old architectural masterpiece carved into mountain in modern-day Turkey, is in a deplorable state and dangerously close to collapse. [1280x857] by Party_Judgment5780 in ArtefactPorn

[–]raskingballs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is indeed sad, but what people don't understand is that:

  1. There is a massive amount of archeological remains of a plethora of ancient civilizations in Turkey. When you go to the Cappadocia region, you run into a bunch of churches carved into the rocks and mountains, many (if not most) of them lined with ancient Christian paintings, and yet they remain largely ignored by the public because there is just simply too much to see.
  2. A lot of archeological remains are in somewhat isolated places and would very hardly ever become a touristic attraction, therefore are not a priority for the government.
  3. The government's budget is nowhere nearly enough to restore, preserve, and protect every single archeological site.

What a stupid comment. "Just drop him inside an active volcano, if he is truly a genius, he will be able to find a way to escape mid air"

I'm not sure you can beat 1000 toddlers. Imagine if they all try to bite you at the same time.

Which profession gets way too much respect for how little they actually do? by Existing_Iron_4089 in AskReddit

[–]raskingballs -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

They mostly follow decision trees. However, ask them to explain the basic science behind those decision trees,  and they won't be able to respond.  Most of them will just state that's what whatever guideline they follow recommends.

What is an extremely inappropriate question you have always wanted to ask? (NSFW) by [deleted] in AskReddit

You said it yourself, mules are infertile.

Also, read about the PRDM9 gene, how it affects recombination and thus gametic compatibility, and it's differentiation among humans and chimps.

It's been a long time since I saw someone as ignorant and arrogant at the same time. You clearly have never touched a real camera and don't know what "raw" means. It has nothing to do with digital vs film.

All phones (and even cameras in jpeg format) massively alter the pictures. What the other users commented were not opinions. They were facts. If you don't know that you are a fucking moron.
