And you saw yourself in relation to it all?

Ford Prefect, I presume?

Screaming feed me here

I’m so looking forward to it.

Don’t forget to add a “package management” service that at first glance makes importing XMLlamascript modules super easy but at second glance takes down the Internet after you piss off a random maintainer before then turning into a malware distribution engine.

Then maybe you should go ahead and write a brutally messed up but somehow ubiquitous scripting language that just somehow has its object instanciations look exactly like xml so those files can be imported right into scripts that then somehow turn into full blown server applications so xml gets the same attention as Json.

Is that a special case of state spaces?

Of course it can. Just the same way I can refer to a table as “fish”: by being wrong.

What? No, it doesn’t. People in that context is singular and means population of a country, so peoples is the proper plural for two of those. There’s no superior plural that means “that plural but, like, even more of that”. Otherwise you would end up with libraries that are filled with aisles that are just filled with shelves full of theses being called theseseseses.

From that article:

Graphic screen-printing is widely used today to create mass- or large-batch produced graphics, such as posters or display stands. Full colour prints can be created by printing in CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and black).

It’s still subtractive.

Would you be so kind to point me to the position in the article that explains how they use rgb? Because the images I came across there seemed to indicate otherwise.

Hey dude, is everything okay? It’s just the Internet and just a discussion about printing and colours.

You don’t use rgb in print.

for example blockchain -> btc or neural networks -> ml/llm.

Oh god.

I fantasize about massive pristine convenience. Brilliant gold taps, virginal white marble, a seat carved from ebony, a cistern full of Chanel No. 5, and a flunky handing me pieces of raw silk toilet roll. But under the circumstances I’ll settle for anywhere.

And rock out to old school Duran Duran?

Sure thing, buddy.

What nonsense. The whole premise here was that people are being told something. If somebody’s repeatedly told that they’re probably a lunatic because of the .ml attached to their name they’ll know something’s up. This isn’t about not telling people, this is about treating people like they know what they’re doing and telling them. Otherwise we wouldn’t even have this discussion because I’d just have left.

But this is going nowhere. You say we can’t expect people to know the symbolism they surround themselves with, I say it’s bullshit. We’re going in circles. So, you do you, great. I’ll, however, assume that the next person I see wearing a swastika is, in fact, a lunatic moron, and not just a poor fella who unknowingly made a wrong pick in the thrift store.

You can always assume people do stuff knowingly. They usually tell you that they didn’t if they didn’t. That’s the whole idea about doing stuff: You’re responsible for your actions.

I’m not punching anyone or calling them names. I’m judging them and tell them that their actions leave a certain impression. And yes, if somebody knowingly buys nestle, I won’t value their opinion on sustainable products or supply nets or listen to them when it comes to that topic 🤷. Tough shit. If you wear a badge you might better check what it represents.

Holy shit, are you serious…?

You expect Joe Average and Jane Random to not only have to deal with clothing’s fragmentation, not only have to figure out which garments can actually be worn and relatively warm, you expect them to also research the politics of each piece of clothing before they wear it in public? And it’s not just that you expect Joe Average, and Jane Random to do that, you’re so certain they actually do it, that you’re perfectly comfortable assuming every single portrait-of-Mao-wearing person has identical political views and stances?

Am I getting this right?

That’s how you sound.
