I didn’t know Dr Wernher von Braun had such importance in pop culture.
As I wrote, there’s no point cancelling his work. I just want to stop hearing about his stupid cat once and for all. I don’t need it to get an understanding Quantum Physics. In fact, the whole thing is even more confusing for people with no background in the field.
If Humanity can’t come up with a good quantum physics related pun, we might indeed deserve to be replaced by AIs.
- Comment on Schrodinger 2 days ago:
Exactly
- Comment on Schrodinger 2 days ago:
It can be both. The pun was created to highlight the supposed shortcomings of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum physics.
The whole setup is purposefully grotesque.
- Comment on Schrodinger 2 days ago:
The S. Cat experiment has always been a pun. It argues that the cat is in superposition of state, which is absurd. That was a bad dad joke from the very beginning.
So what you’re asking is basically “how do I tell the joke without telling the joke?”
And my answer to that is maybe you simply shouldn’t tell that joke because it’s bad.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 director thanks fans as the game hits a 95% positive review rating on Steam 3 days ago:
Second run female V. Discovered the game this year because I play it on Mac (using Whisky) and it wasn’t possible before.
I am not a gamer (as you can tell by my computer’s brand) as I really struggle to find games I want to invest time into. I’m too old to enjoy the thrill of dying 20 times in a row to kill a boss (been a WoW hard player for a few years, but mostly for the lore when it was still great) so I play easy mode and enjoy each and every bit of dialogue I can.
This game is one of the best Sci-Fi movie I’ve seen in years. Sometimes it makes me feel like I’m in 1982’s Blade Runner, waiting for Rutger Hauer to make an appearance. I already met Daryl Hannah and Sean Young (or very resembling characters at least).
Anyway, I don’t care much that the launch was terrible. I’m just glad the game exists.
PS: As a Metalhead myself, the only things I dislike about the game is Johnny’s band stuff. The game’s music is absolute dope though.

I don’t give a flying fuck about the “duality of a man”. As I said, we can’t cancel the work of this POS. What we can do is letting his story die among other not so famous scientists but nonetheless more relevant even in the eyes of science. Those who deserve to be known and reminded.
My dad liked that quote “You die twice. First when your body shuts down. Second the last time someone ever pronounces your name”
So if you don’t mind, let’s kill that motherfucker once and for all.

This might be the most awfully absurd thing that could ever happen.
“We got perfectly capable humans doing that job pretending to be AIs so that we can sell more incapable AIs services, AND prevent the AI bubble from bursting. Gotta make some big $$$ out of this shit, 2008 style baby”

I wish I could play a game where I could talk in real time instead of click, prepare attacks with my generals before the battle and settle a strategy, and where the fastest tabber-clicker is not the one who always wins.
Why? Because I’m getting old, that’s why, and anyone who ever played a competitive RTS knows exactly what it means.

YSK that Schrödinger was very openly pedophile, constantly bragging about the little girls he groomed and raped.

So I’m not saying we should cancel Schrödinger’s work (this wouldn’t make any sense) but maybe just maybe we should avoid any reference to this POS in our Pop culture.
Just a thought.

In the end it’s a matter of taste but I personally prefer true Champagne Brut and Extra Brut as they offer a more dry mineral flavor, compared to other Champagne like beverages.
But as a French I think it’s really important to respect the idea of “terroir”. I’m Ok with using champagnisation process to create Champagne like beverages, but Champagne is Champagne, from the French region of Champagne.
Now, is it overpriced? Absolutely.
- Comment on ohhh 1 week ago:
As a French dude from North of France myself I can only say that Champagne is totally overrated. It’s basically white wine that is bottled with a spoon of cane sugar syrup and then fermented again. I’d rather drink red wine, or cider when I’m in the mood for bubbles (I fucking love cider). And of course, beer.
Now regarding the post, I fucking love bread too.

Content creators are flying away to TikTok or Snapchat. Gamers are on Twitch, discord etc.

- Comment on As a long-time user hearing YouTube wants to play ads when I pause a video 2 weeks ago:
Unfortunately, YouTube exists because content creators make money out of the ads.
But free content video is possible with a peer to peer protocol. The content creator get the responsibility to keep the seed alive. The more popular, the more it gets shared, the more it’s available.
But content creators don’t work for free, and public libraries don’t have the resources to store all the dumb content people deem necessary to make.
Reminder: give money to Wikipedia. This thing is a miracle.
- Comment on As a long-time user hearing YouTube wants to play ads when I pause a video 2 weeks ago:
What’s less sustainable is centralized web. You must know that since you work for Amazon, right?
When PopcornTime was still a thing you could watch adfree any movie you’d like even in 4K because resources were shared through peer to peer.
Now, YouTube gets up to 12$ RPM, content creators get maybe 40% of that. With 2 prerolls and 2 midrolls + banners they get plenty enough money to make things work. Google has the most aggressive VASTs of the market. They are everywhere, called multiple times per pages.
Spare us your tears.
Besides, no significant competition? Is that a joke?

No kidding, technical account manager senior executive of my company uses google sheets to store the code his team produces, instead of using the automated versioned back office I personally created 4 fucking years ago specifically for that purpose. He has absolutely no clue what code is currently in production and keeps asking my team for exports of its how database.
He also asked for a wordpress instance with an associate git repository (of the wordpress code) because why the fuck not. He wasn’t pleased to hear that it makes absolutely no sense.
Last time I heard about him, he was threatening to leave the company.
Holy sweat banana, I know I don’t prey much, but please make it happen.
