I often feel like that too, but there were things like haggis and sausage before them. It’s good to remember that turning inedible mush into something appealing actually has a long and noble history.

If so, it’s still probably deliberate, because corporate knows full well a bigger box would work too. Eshittification is coming for our nuggies.
Oh, it’s definitely marketing nonsense. The question is if they managed to hide a sane, usable product underneath it, or if they’ve added some kind of anti-user nonsense to prevent you from repurposing the button.
I don’t think that quantum physics is quite right, but the gist probably* is. Any finite system can have it’s states enumerated on a table. I’d think you’d need to calculate configurations over all of space-time at compile time, and then look up answers by boundary condition.
Interestingly, MIP*=RE from quantum complexity theory implies tangibly infinite quantum states could exist. It’s not clear if real physics has that particular feature, though. If it does no finite lookup table will do the job, even approximately.
Good for you. You’re a counterexample then, I acknowledge that.
I mean… are we gatekeeping farms now?
Kind of. I’m not saying that’s bad, but it’s not quite the same thing. People I’ve met like that are really just rich retirees who want the cachet of being “farmers”. If you successfully do subsistence that’s not you.
The farmers where I live have got to be the most gatekeepy group I’ve ever met, BTW. I’m from a non-farming branch of an established farming family, and I get the cold shoulder - in general, not just on agricultural things.
though chickens are in the cards for next year
Do it. I had a backyard flock, they’re pretty easy to manage on small scales, they’ll eat many kinds of scraps and pests as a supplement, and they make more eggs than you personally can use very quickly. Do your homework first, of course, but it sounds like you get that. Honestly the most difficult part is keeping away predators, if they’re in the area.
The best case scenario for being commercially successful in that way would be to network with chefs in the bigger cities
And when people make the bespoke-organic thing work, aggressive and skilled networking/sales is how they do it. It’s just a really difficult, expensive way to make food, and people aren’t going to appreciate that for the exact reason they think it’s NBD as a career plan B. If you want to sell that stuff and make a profit you’ve got to be selling something else more intangible.
In Japan it might be different, though. I can’t say.
The local government says I am, in any case (buying registered farmland in Japan is a process, lemme tell ya).
I bet. I’m guessing you must be ethnically Japanese for it to even be possible. If not, I can only imagine the local scuttlebutt going on about you.
Honestly when I imagine someone in IT getting into farming, I imagine this. It’s really an acreage with a garden and some animals, but they call it a farm, and aren’t really interested in the actual farms.
That, or they do a hipster-bespoke-organic goat farm, which lasts a few years before they run it into the ground because they’re expecting it to be easy or work like IT. To anyone reading this, I would urge you to explore a significant but less radical change first - there’s plenty of jobs not like coding.
Okay, maybe not simple. Repetitive, though. I see you guys driving back and forth across a field all day.
With predictability I meant more like you have no idea when it will be wet or dry (for example), and everything depends on that. Sometimes you have to work hard pretty much as long as the sun is up, or at least that’s how it was in my family’s farming days. They would even eat on their tractors while they kept going. Other times it’s too muddy to do anything.
I don’t know about that, but it’s not a “free lunch” and it’s not the same as just looking at pretty scenery.
From a North American perspective, besides the absurd entry cost, it seems fairly similar to a being a long-haul truck driver or plumber. Simple, repetitive work that doesn’t follow any predictable schedule. Physical arduousness depends on what you’re growing and if you’re going to hire scared brown people to do it for you.
You also get to live in an area that’s close to nothing, surrounded by neighbors that think you’re an elitist city prick and will never respect you.
He remembers the before-times!
Jesus! (Or Isa?) Some of these were like single localised events. I was just thinking about how many people come through without even bringing that into it.
Well, I guess a casual disregard for the life and limb of non-elite non-Saudis is pretty on brand for them.
Uhh, normally that would be a crazy number, but it’s Hajj. Is it still a crazy number?
A bit. It sounds to me like he stopped it as soon as he caught wind of it - there’s a lot of projects the US government is doing at any one time.
I have never, ever heard this definition of Luddite.
Yes, that wasn’t a random example for anyone OOTL. The thing the OG Luddites would do is break into factories and smash mechanical looms. They wanted to keep doing it the medieval way where you’re just crossing threads by hand over and over again, because “muh jerbs”.
I think that’s standard, actually. I can always do it at least.
Can confirm. My server has had federation issues, and when that has happened you can still post or vote on outside communities, but it’s not mirrored anywhere else.
Well, that’s embarrassing. I guess it was the Trump era, so I shouldn’t be too surprised.
Yes, sorry, I didn’t realise I was replying to the same user twice.
The problem was never people using AI to do the “heavy lifting” to increase their productivity by 50%; it was instead people increasing the output by 900%, and submitting ten really shitty pics or paragraphs, that look a lot like someone else’s, instead of a decent and original one.
Exactly. I guess I’m conditioned to expect “AI is smoke and mirrors” type comments, and that’s not true. They’re genuinely quite impressive and can make intuitive leaps they weren’t directly trained for. What they’re not is aligned; they just want to create human-like output, regardless of truth, greater context or morality, because that’s the only way we know how to train them.
I definitely hate searching something, and finding a website that almost reads as human with fake “authors”, but provides no useful information. And I really worry for people who are less experienced spotting AI errors and filler. That’s a moral issue, though, as opposed to a practical one; it seems to make ad money perfectly well for the “creators”.
Regarding code, from your other comment: note that some Linux and *BSD distributions banned AI submissions, like Gentoo and NetBSD. I believe it to be the same deal as news or art.
TIL. They’re going to have trouble identifying rulebreakers if contributors use the tool correctly the way we’ve discussed, though.
