MUCH older. Shakespeare made a ton of contemporary references, and was referenced in turn by others during his days. Those were memes.

Medieval writers included strong biblical references, and we have some “entertainment” that is purportedly extremely funny and popular, that’s basically the medieval equivalent of Loss.

Brainrot videos are the first one I truly, truly don’t get.

I just discovered there are now over 9000 SCPs. Last time I checked, there were three hundred something.

That’s great, because his back could use a little support after this.

Larping works great for me.

Faxes are secure after sending. The only way for a third party to get a fax is to physically tap the line at the time of transmission, or to break into the building and steal the paper.

Email sits online, where everyone can get at it unless you prevent it. Faxes sit in a drawer, behind the locks you already have.

I spend a fair bit of time on construction sites, and cameras have one huge issue compared to mirrors: They’re one-way.

With a mirror, I can see the driver in the mirror. I can make eyecontact and confirm that they’ve seen me. With a camera, I have no idea if they’ve seen me. Maybe they can see more, but if they happen not to be looking, I have no way to tell.

And our stupid road regulations don’t allow for both.

Not at all. It’s assuming they don’t suddenly drop in cost 99%

LLM everything. Nobody who is selling AI services is making any money on it. OpenAI is burning tens of billions a year without even a concept of a sellable product, Microsoft is losing billions on OpenAI, and Amazon made 5B revenue on a 120B investment (and negative profit). Nobody who is using these LLMs is paying the full cost, and hardly anyone actually uses them for anything real. Productivity hasn’t gone up for the vast majority of companies using it, and only ignorant management is pushing it hard.

I’ll give it three years until it all falls apart, and that’s very generous.

I love this, because a “Hans worst” in dutch is someone incompetent and useless.

But they’re a dbzero user, not an ML

Edit: I guess those aren’t mutually exclusive

I’m pretty sure I used the word “unknowingly” there, meaning that they’re not to blame for the first choice, merely for continuing to do so now.

What did we do?

Well, luckily, you can make an account elsewhere and not have people assume you’re an asshole because you associate (unknowingly) with assholes

Genetic diversity obviously plays a role, and epigenetics matter a lot too. The abundance of food and quality of nutrition that we’ve had since WW2 in the Netherlands, combined with genetics that predispose, combine together.

But there is also a BIG difference between the racial stats the US keeps and the direct descendance stats the Netherlands keeps. If your family came from Ethiopia to the US in 1640 and has raised 12 generations of Americans, you’re “Black or African American”.

If your four grandparents are 30cm tall blue Smurfs, but both your parents were born in the Netherlands, you’re a native Dutch person in every Dutch statistic.

That’s hard to tell, because not everyone tracks data the same way.

The UK has a population that’s 72% British/Irish. The Netherlands has a population that’s 74% Dutch.

I used to have a “mistake” Savannah, which was at most 40% Serval (mommy got into the male enclosure and nobody knows who the lucky boy was).

He was a LOT of work. I’ve never had a more active cat. You can absolutely train them, and you absolutely have to, or you need to keep them in a seperate enclosure. They will fuck up your house in ways you can’t imagine.

And he was only 40% serval.

Or your local version of it, but this website refuses to turn to other languages for me.

Tesa outdoor double sided tape.

That stuff is basically magic. It will stick anything to everything and you can remove it from almost any surface without leaving a mark. I used to stick a dashcam to my car window, a birdbath to my brick wall, a remote LED lamp to the ceiling (felt iffy, works great!). It’s even holding a metal plate from the doorknob in place because the door is more hole than wood by now.

It beats basically every other kind of tape of multipurpose glue, and it’s removable. It’s kinda thick though, so you might see it, but that’s also a feature when sticking rough textures to eachother.
