The existence of the movies “A Few Good Men” and “No Good Men” implies the existence of movies called “A Lot of Good Men” and “All Good Men.”

@janriemer Am I stupid or is this sync-over-async literally how 99% of software is written in every single language that supports async? 🧐

People talking about concurrency, parallelism, and async as if it's some mystical shit like Quantum Deadlocks or Schrödinger's stack trace or something.
What do you mean "sync-over-async"? From any perspective in most software there's multiple levels of concurrency/async/parallelism, why are we talking about this as if it's mystical wizardry?
@tesla Well, because there are a lot of _nuance_ and skill when it comes to this!
Try calling `block_on` in an async context in Rust (with the tokio runtime) and see what happens.
It's not that easy and languages differ greatly in their way of implementing async (the linked post is just _one_ example)!
Make a folder on your computer or an album on your phone and save images there that make you smile.

We’ve been put on a watchlist 🚨
“It is deeply concerning to see the Prevent duty being used to enable the monitoring of people and organisations simply because they are critical of the programme.
That raises serious questions about freedom of expression and the right to dissent and protest [in the UK].”

So you're asking us to pretend that you know what intelligence per se is
And to pretend that it's something quantifiable
And to pretend that it scales along a single dimension
And that it can be replicated in a statistical token generator without persistent memory and without embodiment
And we also have to pretend it makes sense when you say that your computer has more of um whatever that is, than humans
Techbro: My AI model has achieved superhuman intelligence
Socrates: There is nothing, for my part, that I like better than conversing with learned men, for I much desire to increase my own wisdom with the benefit of their conversation. May I ask, what is intelligence? I myself do not know, but you must, if your machine has surpassed it.
Me: OOOHH FUCK HIM UP, SOCRATES
@colin_mcmillen They're basically cosplaying a hobby, but they don't even make the costumes themselves.
@colin_mcmillen I don't get _why_ they do this. There's no sense of enjoyment, challenge, nostalgia, learning or achievement in it for them.
