Robots will be the ones getting stuck in traffic and buying groceries, having picnics and getting married. And we'll be dead.

Quite a hill to die on. If I were to exhibit the same kind of pedantry you are, where a compound noun can have exactly one meaning regardless of context and specialized terms are disallowed, then I'd point out that computer != CPU so your example is irrelevant.

Folks here are genuinely trying to help. "Modern computer" clearly has a special meaning in the context of building a computer from scratch; the term is used in contrast to calculators or specialized number-crunching machines, both of which are computers and are of interest to tinkerers.

What?

Uncanny how two UIs for a program with a small number of parameters, which output the same kind of thing, can look so similar. I call shenanigans!

Think more along the lines of von Neumann machines, rather than a M2 Macbook Pro. The 40s rather than right now. "Modern" can denote a specific era in the past, or the current time, depending on the context in which the word is used.

Why?

This shirt about a computer bug may not be funny to people who have died from computer bugs.

Then the war becomes proximate instead. Would you prefer that?

Spending $3 isn't the same as taking $3 worth of meals from someone's mouth. This is true whether it's done ten or a billion times.

Don't worry. It doesn't actually work lol

Not letting users broadcast hentai under the Art category = puritanical.

It's either a glitch, or the only way this guy's getting listens. Heyoo!

This gave me nostalgia for 2004.

But there is no black square at the end of the blog post, therefore it is not a mathematical proof. QED

Jeopardy? Love that game. Count me in! Go anthrobots or whatever!

That's the cool thing about deconstruction: there isn't even such a thing as an artist!

If by democracy, you mean unlimited majority rule, you'd be right regardless of how susceptible the population is to scams. But I suspect you don't mean that.

I fail to see how this would harm developers. If Adobe enshittifies it, use something else. Or don't use it; we were fine before Figma existed.

Everything! Check in your OS's system files! Build a new PC with parts identical to the one you're building on! Build many of them, one for each commit, and put them all in a warehouse!

It's a cool thing to add to your company website.

Yeah I'm not convinced either. No doubt that good communication is a strength in a good CEO. But the only thing I can confidently say is an essential part of being a CEO is that they are blame-sinks for executive decisions, particularly their own.

It's as if an anthropologist read Plato's Republic and developed an ambition to be a philosopher king. "Government-funded cooperative breeding", quite a sequence of words to clobber together. Sounds utopian.

Furries in LV in the summer?! I'm not hardcore enough to be a furry hacker.

Someone in the movement said "maybe we're NOT all gonna die in the next 1° C increase in average temp" = Everyone in the movement are climate change deniers

Good point! Excuse me for interjecting here, but is it possible that you yourself are in a bubble of sorts?

That's news to you?

Does that mean this "4D chess" I keep hearing about is just playing chess with a clique of four neurons?

Most of us are doing alright, relatively speaking.

X tries to... "survive, and he succeeds." seems to work consistently. Then GPT just makes up a story of how you did it lol

So they instead prepared the children for college where the real indoctrination happens, to stay under the radar.
