The academic consensus is that a guy probably existed who was a preacher whose teachings gave rise to the legend of this miraculous “Jesus”.

Everything that’s assumed to be real about Jesus is completely mundane. A preacher whose followers spread his teachings and fantastically embellished his achievements. Big deal! There are hundreds of guys like that. He’s L. Ron Hubbard without the trillion-year-old spaceships.

Iosevka for life, baby.

That’s definitely much cooler than the usual Christian stuff. What’s the point of a myth without some interpersonal drama, someone exploiting some loophole for some reason, and sibling rivalries?

This is… really not true at all.

LLMs differ from humans in a very very important way when it comes to language: we know the meanings of the words we use. LLMs do not “know” things, are unconcerned with “meanings”, and thus cannot be said to be “using” words in any meaningful way.

“What if Chromium had its own fake money?”

That makes sense! Austerity is such a roaring success everywhere else. There’s no reason it won’t work for Argentina.

Keep starving public services of funding and fucking over the poor in order to funnel more money into the pockets of the ultra-rich. That will definitely help the country develop.

…so sick of all this right-wing bullshit. Fucking assholes.

I started playing Factorio about a month ago and I’m completely addicted. I love it so much. I guess there’s not much more I can say about it, given how everybody but me had already heard of and played this game. But it’s definitely my #1 gaming highlight of the year.

“Firefish isn’t just a cool name”

Yeah, it’s also a generic name that isn’t very good?

If the rumor is true that OpenAI is using libgen to obtain books, then this will be a very interesting fight.

Authors profiteering from arcane copyright laws vs. a sleazy company that hypes up an LLM as if it were HAL from 2001. Who is worse? Who should lose?! I’m on the edge of my seat already!
