- Comment on Anon cares about the environment 2 days ago:
The tech producer in general, never cares about the environment, unless it’s for cost cutting, then they engage in virtue signalling to mask the cost cutting (i.e. not including chargers with a phone).
Yet, when the conversation about e-waste comes up, the producer shifts the blame on the buyer for buying too many devices, instead of the producer designing them to become e-waste. If devices where built to be repairable/repurposable, or at least recycled, it would greatly affect e-waste, but they would risk lower earnings.
In the few instances where a brand delivers a product that is both prestigious and (relatively) too good/lasting to effectively obsolete it at will, then they offer a turn-in service where you send back the old device and get a discount for the new one. This both busts fidelisation and raises prices on the used market, encouraging buying the new device. (I.e. iPhones, vorwerk vacuums).
Always mind the pattern. You will be less manipulatable.

My grandma was from a richer family (that lost everything before she married grandpa). Her phone number was <city code> 2.
That is because <city code> 1 was the phone number of the city hall, and no one else could afford a phone.

I don’t think I get it. Is the joke that he came so early you were still exchanging names? Those are oddly specific questions. Or are you like gathering details for a scam?
- Comment on It's quite simple really 3 weeks ago:
This looks more complex than it needs to be. We can just merge those two IFF soundnesses at the top and remove transitive implications and we are left with a straight line with two bifurcations.
Also… I only know constructive logics and abstract interpretation with Galois connections… Where do they fit in this? 🥺

Things like this remind me of Terry Davis, who wrote a random words generator program and (due to schizophrenia) believed it was God speaking.

Is this to measure calories? We did something similar in elementary school, our teacher would light a piece of snack on hanging above an aluminium dish, and we would count for how long it burned. Then we looked at the packaging and the snacks with more calories burned the longest.

Now that I think about it, I think my teacher called it just “lussac’s law” because you cannot pronounce “Gay-Lussac” in front of a classroom of 14 year old boys. I guess you are right about the stories, but I’m not sure the name actually helps with that
- Comment on Say no to BAYES 1 month ago:
I’ll admit that was a bit of a stretch. But I also think the naming thing is a problem. Especially in mathematics, even when it is not named after a person, you often have no clue about what it is from just the name (i.e. what do you think is a magma in mathematics?)

Hey, in the end I got 28/30, I didn’t just barely pass the exam. It just sucks because I don’t like it and don’t want to study or know about it. Also there is a lot of gut feelings involved in statistics. Don’t pretend it’s like an exact science or something. You make your calculations and it spits out a number and you go like “hmmmm I do not vibe with this number. This stuff feels more important so I want a better number” the calculations themselves involve a lot of “hmm this data feels like it benefits from this approach”

Well, apparently an adapter card costs 80€ on AliExpress. But I’m not sure it will just work, maybe you need to get special drivers from Nvidia or something, and after you have the adapter and the datacenter GPU, you need to fashion your own cooling system for the GPU.
- Comment on Anon is a PC gamer 1 month ago:
It doesn’t matter if it’s only them. They are the suppliers. So even if, say, Asus would like to sell gaming GPUs at a normal price (which they wouldn’t, but let’s pretend) they cannot do that because there is no supply, and the little supply of consumer chips left is sold to those that sell GPU at pumped prices and therefor can give more money to the suppliers
- Comment on Say no to BAYES 1 month ago:
No, it’s my belief. I was forced to do statistics at school from a young age, and it polarized me.
It all started in kindergarten, when the teacher wanted us to take polls of stuff like favourite colours and such, and find the mode of the polls, and I didn’t want to pay attention to other kids’ favourite colours so mine were always wrong.
Then it continued through elementary, middle, and high school, and I often failed statistics tests, because they always had you calculate ludicrous amounts of differences and squares and means and I would inevitably make mistakes. My maths average was 9/10 regardless, but I hated statistics.
Then I had to take a statistics exam for my bachelor degree in computer science, and I failed and had to retake it next year.
Then I had to take a second statistics exam for my master’s degree in computer science that I’m pursuing right now. And I failed that and had to retake it.
And this is how I specialised in formal verification and abstract interpretation. Many such cases.

Say no to statistics altogether. If we form a compact front, we can eradicate the disease of statistics from the face of the earth.
As motivation, I’ll explain why statistics is only good for stealing:
- Statistics is used to invest in the stock market, which is stealing by definition
- Statistics is the foundation of modern AI, which as of now is mostly used for stealing work and intellectual property
- There is no real statistical research, but every other paper is forced to have a little useless graph and a p-value made by some statistician, who steals fame from the real researchers who made the rest of the paper
- Statistics is at the core of the gambling industry, which preys and steals from the elderly and economically weak
- Every fucking formula for calculating probability needs to have a “mathematician’s” name even if it’s always sums and scaling that a toddler could come up with. Remembering those names steals neurons from students
- Etcetera

Unfortunately, you cannot buy gaming gpus, not because AI data centers are buying them, but because Nvidia would rather produce server GPUs than gaming GPUs. Same for memory. Once the AI bubble bursts, there still won’t be gaming GPUs to buy unless Nvidia and everyone else switch production, and you cannot put a datacenter GPU in a regular computer.

In Europe cashiers don’t pack your groceries, they just scan the stuff and handle the payment, and you pack the groceries yourself, and you better be quick because they are gonna start scanning the next customer’s stuff immediately. I think this would solve many such cases.
