@dang, can you do something about the flagrant bigotry contaminating this board?

It's a classic refrain in a petty "revenge of the nerds" mindset. All the "haters" are wrong, unconditionally, and acting like an asshole is excused as being very special and brave.

It's a siege mentality designed to shore up one's sense of superiority, and ensure that one doesn't need to do very much soul-searching.

If you think that this kind of healthy education is decadent, there may well be more wrong with you than with the Danes. Worth reflecting on.

I know this is not what's happening here, but I just love the idea of a MySQL function where it spins up a new instance for every connection and promptly throws away the data after executing.

No, it just proves that Marx was right about the nature of the wage/salary. The value of labour power is the cost of reproducing/maintaining that worker at a particular standard of living, not some particular fraction of the value generated at work.

Or, as a former boss put it: "the problem with this place is that anyone with 'get up and go' has already got up and gone."

Come to think of it, he was gone too about a month later.

Lot of mental gymnastics in this thread to defend some godawful AI.

Thanks for the clarification, that makes sense.

I was taught that viruses are weird little machines, similar but unrelated to the things we recognise as alive. Interesting that there's difference of opinion on the matter.

Edit: here's a question for the room; if viruses are unrelated to the rest of "life", but are endogenous to the earth, are they alien?

Don't misgender people.

> rather than what the questions and the answers are?

The answers are utterly trivial, which is par for the course with PG.

Even DNA wouldn't work because of weird shit like chimerism. Our classic assumptions about this stuff just don't hold in reality.
