I think we should see a chart as % of “fabricated” references from past 20 years. We should see a huge increase after 2020-2021. Anyone has this chart data?
Ok and buys the laptop with malware? How the customs knows that high value target will buy that specific laptop they swapped the ssd? And what they do exactly? Put malware to steal his data?
I think there is a correlation between when you can you expect from something when I know their internals vs someone that doesn’t know but is not like who knows internals is much much better.
Example: many people created websites without a clue of how they really work. And got millions of people on it. Or had crazy ideas to do things with them.
At the same time there are devs that know how internals work but can’t get 1 user.
pc manufacturers never were able to even imagine what random people were able to do with their pc.
This to say that even if you know internals you can claim you know better, but doesn’t mean it’s absolute.
Sometimes knowing the fundamentals it’s a limitation. Will limit your imagination.
Maybe your “sometimes” is too much for me or others. How can you ensure it’s in the “middle”? Maybe I consider extreme. Maybe others consider not enough. Like driving every day: is it extreme driving, or moderate?
You see how makes no sense this in the “middle” concept?
Personally I hate this “in the middle” as it’s so relative you can shape to fit your narrative.
For example: what’s in the middle for programming?
For me 0 is writing 0 and 1. For others 0 is making the nand ports.
And 100 is ai llm vibe.
So 50/middle would be what exactly? It all depends.
Same for anything really. Some people I know keep saying not 8 not 80 to mean the middle.
Like what’s in the middle for amount of coding per day? 12 h? 8h? 2h?
What’s middle for making money? 50k, 500k, 500m?
What’s the middle for taking cyanide ? 1g? 1kg?
What about water? What about food? What about anything?
As you can see, it’s all relative and whomever says it, is trying to push his narrative as “middle” aka correct, while who does more or less is “wrong”.
> You don’t need every job to choose you. You just need the one that’s the right fit.
You mean, the first one to say yes. Tbh seems more like first to say yes, not first to be fit and say yes.
> You don’t need every house to accept your offer. You just need the one that feels like home.
Same here. Is easy to find one to say yes. Hard to be “feels like home” && say yes.
> You don’t need every person to want to build a life with you. You just need the one.
“The one” is hard.
>You don’t need ten universities to say yes. You just need the one that opens the right door.
Same. What even means “the right door”? How can you even know before you got in?
I think it’s a bad analogy. At least frame it a more realistic: your only need one job to say yes. Might not be the right job but it’s a job. Same for all other.
> It's so common that the only logical explanation is that it is encouraged. It appears to be the norm and the non-slurper is the exception. I'm glad that your parents taught you to not slurp. You are an exceptional individual.
Anyway I’ve asked enough Chinese people about it to get the same answer. Not all do it, but some do it for these reasons.
