The IQ of the smartest human, the perfect memory storing and recollection of computers, the fact that it never tires. I don't know if it's AGI but it's already something greater than us.


Is the IQ measured by tests created for and answered by humans in the training data?


If it was greater than humans already it wouldn't need humans to help it work.


ok...there's no 'general' IQ afaik


Maybe you'll dismiss it as another poetic waxing but what I understand they're saying is that capitalism hasn't yet captured all the inefficiencies of the human experience.


You're more likely to die each year that passes.

If you subscribe to an insurance in your 20s it'll cost you less per month than if you start it in your 60s.


It's gold only if it comes from the Dore région of France. Otherwise it's just sparkling metal.


That accent somehow migrated two characters too far.


Nah that's how it's spelled in French.


True, but ‘Doré’ means golden, and would make for a better joke.


On the other hand, Dore is an actual toponym.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monts_Dore


The French part in that sentence should be the name of the region (eg Doré(e) ), not "région", and if you wanted to use the French spelling of "région", you'd have to say "région Dore".

Using the French spelling of région but the wrong word order doesn't make sense.


Ahh I see, thanks.


There is no joke so funny and trivial that HN can't overthink and criticize it.


Above all, we want our comedy accurate.


True connoisseurs prefer the metal from Lingots.


It's in the terroir.


Better than keeping gold in the tiroir.


You'll notice it's about how it makes the poster feel.

Complaints against the right are usually about their actions, the terrible consequences and how they hurt people.

Complaints against the left are often how it makes the complainer feel, it's a mental struggle to not admit they like the result of right wing policies and not being able to embrace a left wing position despite knowing on some level that they should.


Trump supporters and voters will have to live with the fact that they enabled this for the rest of their life. I do not envy them. Especially those that will snap out of it at some point.


I think only a small percentage might ever feel remorse or empathy regarding how their voting choices shaped world outcomes thereafter. For those that ever do regret it, I think giving them a path to redemption is the only way the world will ever heal. For those incapable of having those feelings.. well, I can hope karma is real.


Why would they regret it? He's doing exactly what they voted for. I mean, maybe there is fuel price regret but that's not really a redemption path.


I wish you were right, but I suspect it will be like how in recent years most people will say they never supported the Iraq invasion etc.


They won't just have to live with it. They like it.

My aunt is a republican lobbyist. She is also a drunk. This means she regularly texts us the most incredibly odious beliefs. Stuff like how my other aunt should kill herself because she is a leech for taking disability from the government. MAGA voters aren't sad that Trump is out here saying "fuck you, libs" on a regular basis. They love it.


That was true after 2016, and plenty of them did. The problem is that Grump was able to attract a whole bunch of new scumbags - from his destructive politicization of Covid, the surveillance industry seeing a more direct route to become an inescapable part of the government, the growing performative chest-thumping "manosphere" etc. At this point I don't see much shame on the horizon.


They've been vibe-driving businesses long before we've started vibe-coding software.


There weren't really any failure states for the ZIRP "lifestyle CEO". If you remember old black and white movies about pigeons from psych 101 it's been that level of conditioning for how many years now?

If your CEO doesn't look like a taxi dispatcher he's just moving his wings around waiting for a food pellet.


You can't discuss any longer with someone who believes that. You're in "the sky is green" territory.

Operates on hunks, which may at times be multiple lines that cannot be split further


oftentimes splitting the hunks with `s` is enough.


You can edit a hunk with `e`. Clunky but it works.


In a conversation about magit, this is comparing jumping off a sidewalk to powered flight.


Sometimes the divide feels like it's between people who vote based on what people say and people who vote based on the actions and track records of the candidates.
