The post specifically mentions blue eyes and blond hair, both of which are recessive, if I'm not mistaken.
This makes me think it might have been written by someone who knew what recessive traits are and was just mocking the particular brand of racist that would want to perform “an epic bleaching”...
Yeah. Fucking birds should've gone extinct 65 million years ago with the rest of the fucking dinosaurs. Fuck'em. It's the age of mammals now!
being super wealthy and successful is always going to confer some degree of cool.
Sure...
More often than not it's a negative degree, though.
(Also, success is extremely relative; ask the previous example's children how successful he is as a father figure, for instance...)
makes it sound like they're all equal, and there hasn't been any progression
Programming peaked with Lisp (and SQL for database stuff).
Every “progression” made since Lisp has been other languages adding features to (partially but not quite completely) do stuff that could already be done in Lisp, but with less well implemented (though probably with probably less parentheses).
Yeah. Turns out penguins have been extinct for almost two centuries, and what we've been calling penguins are a completely unrelated type of bird that just happens to look vaguely similar.
What's worse is that half the coordinates probably ended up as dates...
Funnily enough, not being able to modify a printer's firmware is what turned Richard Stallman into the free software advocate.
(Well, it was more the drop that made an already very full glass overflow, but still, “the printer story” has de facto come to be known as the point where free software started.)
The other day we were going over some SQL query with a younger colleague and I went “wait, what was the function for the length of a string in SQL Server?”, so he typed the whole question into chatgpt, which replied (extremely slowly) with some unrelated garbage.
I asked him to let me take the keyboard, typed “sql server string length” into google, saw LEN in the except from the first result, and went on to do what I'd wanted to do, while in another tab chatgpt was still spewing nonsense.
LLMs are slower, several orders of magnitude less accurate, and harder to use than existing alternatives, but they're extremely good at convincing their users that they know what they're doing and what they're talking about.
That causes the people using them to blindly copy their useless buggy code (that even if it worked and wasn't incomplete and full of bugs would be intended to solve a completely different problem, since users are incapable of properly asking what they want and LLMs would produce the wrong code most of the time even if asked properly), wasting everyone's time and learning nothing.
Not that blindly copying from stack overflow is any better, of course, but stack overflow or reddit answers come with comments and alternative answers that if you read them will go a long way to telling you whether the code you're copying will work for your particular situation or not.
LLMs give you none of that context, and are fundamentally incapable of doing the reasoning (and learning) that you'd do given different commented answers.
They'll just very convincingly tell you that their code is right, correct, and adequate to your requirements, and leave it to you (or whoever has to deal with your pull requests) to find out without any hints why it's not.
Well, this is going to be golden, isn't it..?
