I understood the paperclips reference! :D

Yeah, it feels like I blinked and it's now October already...

(2024 was and still is a heck of an year for me. I have almost climbed out of the ditch on this year. Yay!)

I have "tight jaws" problems so a trip to dentist generally is a pain for me, even without surgery. There are hygienists and surgeon dentistry. You only want to have regular business with the first. So brush brush mouth wash.

I learned the hard way that after root canal there is a chance you loose your tooth if you don't get it cared over fully promptly. (if a temp cap has any problems it's an emergency.) I think numbing the tooth is the worst part because for a root canal they have to (and you want this) kind of over do it. After this, no problem. Always tell beforehand if you have fears of the operation, so they can adjust how they work.

100% Nope: A episode from supernatural, where ghouls half way succeed to eat Sam. (I consider it as the most gruesome horror I have ever seen, and I don't think I have the stomach to see it ever again. The blood draining is a ... no.)

Yellow brick road on otherhand hits the weird places spot of SCP, which I can't get enough. (not horror really, but still)

You don't know untill you try. For me, maybe consuming 400 existential dread doses a day doesn't register.

(/s maybe, this is a tongue in cheek post... )

To be fair, All Your Base Are Belong To Us is still a banger that I may want to hear on my death bed.

Edit: what this does to me is that there is now programming language called "zig", so you now can move zig.

The point when the AI hallucinations become useful is the point where I raise my eye brows. This not one of those.

The billions that got pumped into vaxine research... The mRNA method has received a nobel prize. Before this we had no good way (or as safe) to pre-train the immune system to "if you see this (virus, etc.) again, raise the alarms". Now we do.

Edit: updated the wording a bit.

I do this exact same expression when I'm forced to gain knowledge of something potentially personally catastrophic...

Python is just a pile of dicts/hashtables under the hood. Even the basic int type is actually a dict of method names:

x = 1
print(dir(x))
['__abs__', '__add__', '__and__', '__bool__', '__ceil__', '__class__', '__delattr__', '__dir__', ... ]

PS: I will never get away from the fact that user-space memory addresses are also basically keys into the page table, so it is hashtables all the way down - you cannot escape them.

This "news" looks pure FUD + confusion of what actually happened, and I think is best to be ignored until it can be read coherently from the next weeks news paper... I'm only commenting because of my local news began to propel this shit...

I know two friends.. who would absolutely lynch you for doing this.

Anyway, it has been fun following them and occasionally ask "whats this card worth?" and general answer has been 5-50€ a card. The cards can be worth more than literal money.
