My guess is that OP is referring to the MAGA cult but I could be mistaken.

I definitely should have just opened it in reader mode in Safari but I just told myself I’d just not lose my spot again several times like a dope

The number of blogs posted on here by people who can’t be arsed to make their writing legible on mobile blows my mind. Did everybody just skip the section of their CSS journey that covered media queries or what?

I enjoyed the article but it was a nightmare to read on my phone’s browser

I think it was more about doing it without a Boolean-based branch construct like a ternary or switch or whatever flavor of thing that abstracts away the explicit checks for true/false by other means. Idk though for sure

> they want to maximise the time people spend on their apps so that they can sell this attention to advertisers

This is where they manipulate in my mind. They maximize that time by exploiting human psychology, manipulating people into scrolling their feeds endlessly eh?

“what it does” describes the actions taken - cancer wards work to treat cancer (which is their purpose). Outcomes of what they do isn’t relevant to the point.

The purpose of most social media companies is to manipulate people for financial and political gain which is what they do.

At that point “human” really only meant the white man who owns property though eh?

The story in the readme is hilarious

> *biased* or misleading

The bias is what would make somebody consider some propaganda good and others bad.

Like - anti-fascist propaganda is good because it’s biased against an anti-human and oppressive ideology.

Strudel can use custom samples in addition to the built in synths and samples. The language is really expressive. I’ve not gone too far into playing with it but from what I’ve seen it’s pretty flexible.

That said I’ve only seen people making house/techno/drum-n-bass kinda stuff with it.

I was goofing around with TidalCycles and really wanted to use it for the Haskell syntax but Strudel’s interface is so slick I suffer the JS syntax.

Thanks for mentioning superdough I hadn’t seen it anywhere while I was playing with all of the above. Piqued my curiosity :)

The only people who matter are shareholders. Employees are a means to the end of making money for the owners of the company whether through stocks or other kinds of ownership.

It’s an Israeli company - they probably consider their work a matter of national security and get along just fine with that

I’m not precisely sure but I think my health coverage paid by my employer is like 15-20% of my salary

Idk I think saying it’s “computing” is more precise because “thinking” applies to meatbags. It’s emulating thinking.

Really I just think that anthropomorphizing LLMs is a dangerous road in many ways and really it’s mostly marketing BS anyway.

I haven’t seen anything that shows evidence of LLMs being anything beyond a very sophisticated computer system.

What’s wrong with this from your perspective? IMO it’s too little too late and should have been a federal law years ago.

Don’t get me wrong - Newsom is a slippery snake politician and is beholden to rich scumbag donors but I don’t see how this in particular is due to his and the dems big donors.

That said you seem to imply that only one side of this shitshow is beholden to big donors but corruption and general degeneracy is far more prevalent in the elephant party.

I’d guess that it’s because React came around and it was from Facebook so it got a lot of adoption? Maybe there’s some other reason, the comment you responded to seems to imply something anyway

I’m fond of chained array methods, especially if the callbacks I pass are named functions - it can make for code that I find way more legible than for loops. But even with anonymous callbacks I’d rather do that ~90% of the time than use a for loop anyway.

For me it’s just that I just don’t want to lie to make money.

Commercials are on their face a work of fiction unless stated otherwise — for customer testimonials in commercials that are fake (in the US anyway) there has to be text saying as much. Because otherwise they’d be lying…

Shit happens. Putting a case on my phone improves the likelihood that my $1200 phone doesn’t shatter. People have kids, animals, and make silly little mistakes that can have massively expensive consequences.

I’m not regularly smashing my phone or especially careless with it, but in a year I’ve seen it take a dozen or so drops and I’m glad it had a case on it when it did.
