Potentially related is yt-dlp getting a 403 lately when downloading from Reddit. The extractor uses old.reddit.com. Hopefully they'll find a way to use the regular Reddit gateway instead.

But I can't stand new Reddit so maybe I'll take this as an opportunity to give it up entirely.

0.3... is just the decimal representation of 1/3. So:

0.3... = 1/3

0.6... = 2/3

0.9... = 3/3 (= 1)

Seems like a competition that started reasonably and mutated into nonsense over time as the rules were exploited (and never modified, I guess). If it's an established debate style and offered to kids as legitimate you can't blame them. Kids do what is available to them.

The equivalent would be speed chess, wouldnt it? There is nothing intellectual about speaking as fast as possible.

I completely disagree with you. Very ideological people might be given to lie about or simply ignore things that challenge their ideology.

It seems very cozy, although filled with people pushing their commercial projects. If people are projecting Bluesky's future on its current cozy state they are fools. The only way to remain cozy is to remain small.

Nearest thing to a name drop is the end, but isnt a name drop (also spoilers):

"And yet, now that I am an old, old man, I must confess that of all the faces that appear to me out of the past, the one I see most clearly is that of the girl of whom I've never ceased to dream these many long years. She was the only earthly love in my life, yet I never knew, nor ever learned, her name."

Sounds like a comfy sequence in a larger game I would anticipate on replay. I put my own $250 on the table (given the prompt and process were forthcoming).

If they are unable to use a shell, don't understand environments etc. I would push them onto some specific IDE/plugin combination that creates a new virtualenv, handles PATH etc. for every new project.

Dealing with environments and understanding how different parts of the filesystem relate to each other is its own pretty steep learning curve. You wouldn't want them to get tripped up on that while they are learning to program, so I think I would opt to teach the two as entirely different concepts and not mix them at first.

No idea if an appropriate IDE/plugin combination exists! Surely there is one.

Can confirm that after donating > 7€ I am still able to unlock pro features on new devices 8 years later

For me the baseline is if an AI made up a new joke that is actually funny. As you say it's sort of an "I know it if I see it" issue, but anyone who has tried to prompt a language model to come up with a novel, funny joke knows that these models aren't really demonstrating human-like intelligence.

Amazing. I have never witnessed anything so pathetic, or such a level of projection. Thanks for exhibiting that buddy, it was quite a show.
