And this is my weekly reminder to work on a way to collect that data.

Meat-eating and political apathy. Few people are vegetarians at this point in history, and activism tends to attract defective personalities.

If it sounds like I must be a misanthropic bastard that hates everyone, unfortunately, yeah, I think I do at this point.

They don’t prevent it, they just don’t implement it. A real (physical) CPU is a fixed electrical circuit and can’t just divide in two the way it would have to for the ideal mathematical version of recursion. If you want a simple way to visualise this, how would you implement recursion (as opposed to just loops) on a Turing machine with tapes?

Different CPUs might have strategies to approximate certain kinds of recursion, but at some point my own knowledge ends, and there has been many different designs. Tail recursion in particular is usually just turned back into a loop at the compiler, and typical modern architectures implement a call stack at the hardware level, which allows you to do limited-depth recursion, but breaks like in OP if you try to go too deep.

Well I’ll be damned!

Italy needs to keep an eye on Naples, I guess.

Yes, that was a joke, although apparently there is one in Florida, lol.

Canadians all know this. Presumably Carney knows this. Effectively he’s ruled out wasting his time on a negotiation where their main ask is deep, deep fucking behind our red line.

Ooh, it is pretty.

I don’t think there’s any volatile compounds of lead, which would be the risk. Obviously don’t go off of just my guess, though. You wouldn’t think osmium would produce a lot of volatiles, and yet it’s frigging oxide is.

Of course, depending on where this is and how much water you use that might obviate the need for a well anyway. If you’re distilling it all surface water or just straight up wastewater might work fine.

I didn’t know Melbourne was in Florida.

Bonus points if you’re saving it as an .odt and still producing a validly executable file of some kind

Yeah, if you had really bad locality of reference I imagine that would be very helpful.

I remember we made a petition to the Canadian government about getting on the fediverse, and it got enough signatures. The response made me think they couldn’t even figure out what that meant.

An actual compsci professor would know real CPUs don’t run arbitrary recursion, right? Nobody could possibly be that siloed.

Me too. I’m still not sure what the problem is and I’m kind of afraid to ask.

I do have the plugin for multi-line editing set up, I guess.

Sure. But if there’s not even the illusion the brainrot is real life, maybe they’ll give it a try.

(And it’s not just America. You don’t have to be that hard on yourselves, dumb people are everywhere)

Ah yes, this highly produced YouTube video narrated by “Niel” who sounds a bit computer generated, with a white X cup in the thumbnail. This is definitely a good look at an everyday Chinese factory. /s

Hopefully you’re getting paid to post it.

Almost certainly not. Touch is really just geared to detecting the presence or absence of vibration. I’d be surprised if you could get a double digit set of waveforms which could be reliably distinguished, let alone the endless combinations that make up normal hearing.

I do, and I’ve adjusted for that. I know Americans and I know how they are about their nationalism.

Yeah, just based on the summery here, I’m not really upset about this. An engagement-maximising brainrot feed was never a great way to understand important issues in the real world.

If you just want to slip into TikTok for a couple hours I see little problem with all-AI content, if you want news go here or directly to a reputable news agency, and if you want to learn something new start with Wikipedia and then branch out once you know what you’re looking for.

There’s an ~100% chance Helen Keller got asked about this. Uh, yep, although I don’t recognise the source and can’t guarantee it’s not fake or AI slop. The format would be new for slop, at least - the actual fact is in image form, there’s a comment section and it’s dated over a decade ago.

If someone had a copy of her autobiography they could look for the passage to verify, but I don’t.
