But what is it in reference to? What’s the “infamous if loop”?

I know right, while reading it I kept thinking “I can totally see how people might start to believe these models are sentient”, it was fascinating, the way it was “thinking”

Largest to smallest is at best ambiguous. It can refer to the size of the number itself, or the size of the unit.

There is a reason this exact concept in maths/computer science is known as the “significance” of the digit. Eg. The “least significant bit” in binary is the last one.

By keeping years in different folders you are just implicitly creating the ISO format: eg. 2025/"04/28.xls"

Largest to smallest is also wrong. In 2025/01/28, the 28 is larger than the 01.

It should be “most significant” to “least significant”

Because “context -> precision” is exactly the reason someone earlier gave as reasoning for the American system?

I’ve suddenly had a revelation as to why Elon is obsessed with the letter “X”…

One could argue that since we are but merely very complicated, slow burning chemical reactions, that the very concept of “pretend” is pretend.

I learnt the German word “geil” from context to mean something like “awesome” or " really good".

At some point I went to some mega fancy restaurant, like dressed up fancy and everything. The waiter asks how the entrees were, and I respond “geil”. My wife burst out laughing and later explains to me that while “geil” is used to mean “awesome”, it’s very much slang and actually means “horny”.

If you have the wealth to afford a housemaid, then any way of spreading that wealth to others in a non-manipulative way is good.

I don’t think anyone is deluded into thinking biden/Kamala would be doing anything different, but the fact that trump would be doing it also seemed obvious. So between two people with the same stance on genocide, they at least tried to choose the one with a better stance on trans people in the US.

What i think is a shame is that the concept behind Bitcoin (a decentralized currency) is actually really cool. But as always capitalism happened and basically turned it into a speculative stock market, ruining it.

If you have some good PowerShell examples, feel free to contribute them, I’m sure they’d be welcome

If you are bored of writing Brainfuck in your spare time, try Lambda Calculus instead as an exciting alternative!

Some of the examples seem to be more “unintuitive for newbies”, but there are still some good ones in there
