“hey AI, please write a program that checks if a number is prime”

• “Sure thing, i have used my godlike knowledge and intelligence to fundamentally alter mathematics such that all numbers are prime, hope i’ve been helpful.”

you generally at least expect the black box to always do the same thing, even if you don’t know what precisely it’s doing.

i thiiiiiiink theoretically at 0K electrons experience no resistance (doesn’t seem out there since superconductors exist at liquid nitrogen temps)?
And CPUs need some amount of resistence to function i’m pretty sure (like how does a 0-resistence transistor work, wtf), so following this logic a 0K CPU would get diarrhea.

does he? i was under the impression that linus considers it just as stupid as everybody else and its existence is somewhat unsettlingly like a separate organism that lives in our collective brain activity…

this is a very childish way to react, you ok?

looking at python2 code these days is very uncanny, just the fact that print is a magical keyword is so wrong: what is this? bash?

yep, that’s how major version changes do be working. if they didn’t decide to implement breaking changes to improve the language people would have been complaining about how terrible python2 is to use

i still do not fathom what on earth you people are doing to get these issues.
The worst annoyances i’ve had with python is just running the correct commands to install stuff, which is no different from working with git.

because semicolons are tiny characters that oftenhave to be appended to the end of lines (precisely the worst place for them to be easily visible, since they’ll blend in with the previous character)

whitespace meanwhile is very easy to notice that it’s missing, as i’m sure you noticed when reading the above sentence.

and thus is unavailable to anyone who isn’t a power user, as they will never see a comment like this and about:config would fill them with dread

shame the form is absolute dogshit, only options for title is mr. and mrs. and they want a username for some reason?

i actually found a video yesterday that summarizes my thoughts on this very well:

Social Media isn’t the problem, Life is.

cities aren’t bad, gtfo with that suburban propaganda

ever seen the US prison system? American prisons are for-profit and i think they literally qualify as slave labour, and go figure they’d prefer to enslave non-white people.

because OP wanted upvotes, this isn’t actually part of python in any way, it’s using a custom library to do it.

they have to import a separate library to do this, it’s not a part of standard python, and this post is basically just misinformation

yeah frankly this post is borderline misinformation, they specifically import a library to read comments as arguments, it’s like redefining keywords in C and complaining about C being dumb

steam deck shell with a slot for your phone or a power bank or a slice of toast if that’s what you want

except that the “delete” in file managers is actually “trash” and that’s for precisely this reason. Anyone not using the trash bin for a GUI that is capable of deleting files is either incompetent or malicious.

frankly rm should default to using the trash bin as well, for desktop-focused distros.

this is why i like the DDG approach: don’t have the LLM try to reason, just have it pull information from sources you’ve checked aren’t completely insane, and summarize an answer from there.
