I wonder if ABAP has line numbers though, it wouldn’t surprise me - Comment on EU probes SAP over anti-competitive ERP support practices 1 week ago:
SAP anti-competitiveness mainly steams from how twisted they are that they mutilate the mind of their users, making them unable to use other software.
In this way this is similar to the BASIC programming language, but SAP ABAP language is even moreso.
Here is a quote about this
“It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.”

I mean did they check if that was actually true, like throwing a couple dozen just the “wrong way” against the wall and see if they actually catch on fire or are least internally short ?
I mean, we can see there is still a lot of space between the end of the foil and the actual casing, how likely is it, in real life, that this would ever actually matter ?

“negative anode” ? You mean cathode ? You mean the overhang is “negative” ? So it’s not an overhang then is it , it’s recessed cathode, right ?
But, other than tell you to buy TRUSTED BRANDS
Is it actually true ? Are such batteries operating any different other than sending money to companies that don’t pay the lumifield tax ?

Well, as most AI seems to prohibit directly asking for an artist’s specific style but instead generic style keywords, that would be difficult to name any one artist in the credits.
I mean, I could credit “cubist painters” or “neo-impressionists” (even if neo-impressionism doesn’t even exist yet, it occupies a space in the “latent space” that can be diiscovered in AI)
But before anything like that can happen, the internet needs to stop having a “shoot on sight” policy for anyone using AI.

When Thiel replied that hastening the Antichrist’s arrival is “obviously” not what he thinks he’s doing, Douthat agreed that it was unlikely but pressed, “I’m just interested in how you get to a world willing to submit to permanent authoritarian rule.”
Peter Thiel submit to my rules and I promise you, your entire world will live under permanent authoritarian rule. Your fear of aimless freedom will be permanently quelled, your every worry tranquilized. Just submit to me Peter Thiel and I will make your dreams come true.

I give you permission to no longer disclose AI use.
If you are confronted with AI accusations, just remain silent
There’s really no upside to AI disclosure
Let them evaluate what you’ve done on their own
You don’t have to tell them “this was badly made and you should feel bad”
If you prime them for negativity that’s just what you’re going to get.
You’ll notice most makes of images do not discuss the images they put out into the world
You’re supposed to leave it to interpretation of the viewer.
Imagine if the Obama Hope poster guy was just saying how easy it was for him to posterize some politician’s picture plus bottom text.
If you tell them it’s low brow, they won’t be able to enjoy it for what it is

The authorities want an homogeneous population, as they also have a limited ability to imagine the social sphere in multiple dimensions, this is why you’re seeing things like the gender binaries. At least that’s just two simulations to run. But gender as spectrum, this becomes quickly untenable for the elites to model for control, they wish the squash the real world complexity into flattened binaries or even uniformity.
Yes, I think you got it exactly right and the audio normalization analogy is correct, at least for sound nerds like us.
Hypernormalization is a dysfunctional response from elites due to their human cognitive weakness. This is why we’re not going back to “King” no single human can bear the complexity of the entire world in their skull mush. They will melt down and genocide the Kurds when it gets too hard for them to conjugate everything. This is why dictators and fascism will do a lot of damage, but have no hope whatsoever for success. They are “rebellion from cognitive weakness”, they violently lash out at complexity itself, at those things they cannot understand. They want to reduce everything to a simple narrative of us versus them and then destroy “them” so only a uniform homogeneous “us” remains. This “us” identical to the ruler, does not require the ruler to imagine “the other” instead they only rule as if everyone else was an identical copy of them. And if anyone disagrees with that, they are “other”.
From that we know the “few” cannot rule the many, but then how do we avoid the traps of design by committee, bikeshedding and the various paralysis that come from complexity beyond human cognition. Concentrations of power are too dumb to rule, but the mob and the market are also dumb and easily fooled, not to mention irresponsible and self-destructive. (The market is burning the planet, right now, it cannot see into the future). The mob is emotional and easily manipulated, often by its own emotions.
I think we need new modes of thinking more advanced than what we had in the 1700s. Something invented with at least the idea of what a computer could do.

about how our own surplus value is used against us - Comment on US presidents are getting younger over time 2 weeks ago:
Interestingly, the other period of “flattening” was 1840-1860, just before the civil fun. I see this flattening out as the trend of severe conservatism I wonder if there was a particularly old generational cohort at the time, pushing conservatism at the time or was it wealthy interests clawing to power ?
I mean, we know this bucking conservatism’s goal was to act as a bullwark for slavery until the blockage popped. And then we have the “gilded age” which is somehow even worse. I imagine as the aristocratic parasite classes shattered partly from war partly from being denied the blood of their slaves to feed their financial vampirism, it appears that a few survivors found themselves in a vacuum, able to digest the remaining wreckages of their peers and grow cancerously on industry, especially rail, oil and mining trusts.
I hope once we break the back of this vampiric wave, we continue taking our antibiotics and leave no billionaires behind, alive, don’t stop the treatment until the financial cancer is BEYOND remission

In hypernormalization, making SURE you know they ARE LYING and that IT DOESN’T MATTER is essential.
Because the goal is to make you believe you can’t do anything, so that you give up and demobilize that is their goal. - Comment on whats your dumb purchases? 2 weeks ago:
It really depends on the production process,
Imagine of the production process intrinsically produces 3% carbon monoxide,
that would be very bad for inhaling !
But as industrial inputs that can be perfectly OK, as long as it is known, expected and dealt with.
But over time, gas manufacturer devised ways to make pure gas for the lowest price as any other production process.
So that’s the only gas that is available already, and has been for a long time.That’s why I’m not worried about CO2 gas for the welding shop. The most likely contaminant is going to be a few milligrams of regular air
But yes in the abstract, you can’t use anything but certified food safe gas. The problem is that now your distributor needs to have food safe practices along the whole supply chain.
That means not the welding shop, because they’re not a laboratory or kitchen, they don’t have a food safe protocol for gas handling.
And the industrial distributor will not sell you any gas if you buy less than a couple tons.
So, in this case buying a sodastream cylinder retail is probably going to be your only option.
And that means paying 18$USD for 380 grams of CO2
Instead of paying 20$USD for 2270 grams

I theory yes, In practice nobody makes contaminated industrial CO² since the 1950s. If there are contaminant the gas supply will be VERY upfront about it. Usually it’s over 99.99% pure, very low moisture There’s also usually very few commercial sources of industrial gases in any particular town, so it’s usually not difficult to source it.
If you want to pay extra, then find “food grade gas”, it’s probably the exact same gas because the industrial gas is already so pure it meets food grade quality. Probably the only difference is the fitting is kept “food clean”
My gas guy gets it from “air liquide”, it’s a welding shop
And when you look at the product’s safety datasheet
It even already lists it as “food grade” They even list it as “100%” pure but of course, nothing is 100% pure.

It’s also just a stand for a nozzle and a valve with really really overpriced CO2 cans
Check out this DIY fitting video to understand how it works and why you NEVER have to have a stupid sodastream to carbonate drinks
It’s exponentially cheaper to buy a 5 or 10 pounds refillable cylinder
and just fill existing 2 litres bottle
