> Why would you ever want to work somewhere that clearly employs such unqualified individuals

Because you're unemployed and need to work to get some money.

Do you think you're a super intelligent person when you couldn't even figure that out?

A response in milliseconds is effectively instantaneous. Also there is no coal in Scotland since 2016.

And if you want physical spinning machines, there is hydro which is obviously big in Scotland because there's plenty rain.

Most first world countries don't have this. It's not a given.

The bit where killing people is just an oopsie.

I think you'll find the manager was also an employee.

> How dense do you think your C-level is

I guess density doesn't really change, whether you have one short plank or two.

Sarcasm? Or you don't know any black people?

She clearly disagreed with you since she pled guilty.

No, there are examples of people saying things that break a law getting arrested.

There seems to be this bizarre belief that it's fine to engage in incitement to violence, harassment or stalking, as long as it's done on social media.

It's not. They would be illegal via phone calls and they're still illegal on X or Facebook.

You would think examples like this would demonstrate to you that your thinking was wrong, but instead you just double down on it.

I wonder if Wordsworth would have been quite as keen on his works being treated as property if he'd known they would be owned by an American corporation by now and his own descendants would have to licence them for any use?

Yup, I know how git keeps the whole thing but if the audio file is stored as chunk, with perhaps layers applied, that could be storing just the changes as say mblobs, rather than blobs.

The reason for asking about diffs is that it makes it easier to break it down to manageable chunks.

Are there any music formats that allow, conceptually, for easy diffs?

If there are, it's not beyond reason to add something to git to make it work better.

If changing a single bit at the start of file changes the whole thing then it's really a failing of the file format. By which I probably mean the container format.

Sudan is a terrible example for your argument as it's practically a textbook example of Western colonialism, maintained by divide and conquer, and leaving a horrific mess when they wash their hands of the place.

What papers? Give me something solid to go on here.

What is the practical difference? If it's so obvious it should be straightforward to point it out!

Edit: let me put it more bluntly. If God had created the universe 6000 years ago and just made it seem older, how could you tell the difference from the creator of a simulation doing exactly the same thing?

Ok, so they're both the same?

I don't really have anything to add to AnimalMuppet's response. Why are they not equivalent? Because the simulation argument is more "carefully constructed"?

Is that it? Because I'm not convinced it is. Creationists have certainly put more effort into their arguments.

I don't believe in either of them, I'm just saying they're equivalent. You didn't even make a decent argument why they differ so don't pretend you're particularly informed.
