Never understood this argument. It has nice rethorics but proves nothing. the problem with text prediction != intelligence is that we can’t even define intelligence. I hate AI as much as the next guy here, but that doesn’t mean we should do lazy assertions and quoting dumb arguments.

This is just a negative look at the world and not a critic of social systems as the meme normally is.

This is Elon Musk

And the first was by far the best

Except that I thought it was an amazing movie :)

Wtf you didn’t like the acting?

I would agree the pacing is a little bit too fast at the end of part 2, but especially the first and the beginning of the second are perfectly paced…

The shots are great. And it looks very good. And that’s not only because of the production value… Also the camera and scenery is top notch. Don’t know when I saw such a good looking movie the last time.

The replacement of the dune theme is a dumb argument. You could say that about any movie. And also it’s not true. You get topics about ecology, economics, choice, power structures, religious fanatism in a very interesting way.

Personally I liked the first one better than the second one, mostly because of the pacing issues at the end… I would have been ok with having another hour of runtime :) also some political and economic stuff was cut, which I would have liked to see… Instead they go all in on the fundamentalism… But ok

I’m not a huge fan of the setting btw… I don’t really like this feudal-sci-fi mix, because it leads to ridiculous situations (comes with a spaceship to the planet and is immediately taken hostage by sword fighters?). Still the movie can compensate with all the other stuff it does and make it somewhat believable. Also I can see over some plot holes if the rest is good. I’m not someone who complaines that the eagles could have flown frodo to mount doom either.

I really don’t know what you have against the acting, though… They have to transport some ridiculous stuff and they do a great job.

Have no particular opinion on the characters… I would have liked to see some more screen time from some of them… But I guess that comes down to the additional hour, I would have loved. Think they were what they needed to be. Nothing more nothing less.

My thought exactly.

This is certainly not about finding fools who not only are beta testers but also provide training data… And not only for free, but they pay also for this… Win win win for M$

Fuck that. It’s awesome! I want to have lazy initialized globals. It’s that package. I want code to shorten my builder pattern I import that. I need a typed concurrent work steel queue. No problem.

I look at a c project. Everywhere custom macros to do the most basic shit. I want to parse an xml in c? Better use a sax Parser and put all the data into globals. Cryptography? Better implement that ourselves… Using a library would be too much of a hassle.

I like und use “main” because it’s shorter, but call it master branch in colloquial speech because it’s cooler.

Isn’t Linux more like a benevolent dictatorship. At least the kernel development.

Let me try. Before that I don’t believe you

Don’t know what people have? The last time wifi didnt work out of the box for me was like 2010

And then in the end we realize the most important thing was the tests we wrote along the way.

Agreed. I don’t really like the second, but the third is a very good ending for a trilogy that had no right to be as good as it is. I especially love how all the characters have these different changing motivations and how that shapes the plot.

The first is just perfect, though, not even close

Well the first chapter is very good and reading it will explain why this book is so influential. It’s also not very long. You can do it 💪

I think no one has read Manufacturing Consent beyond the first chapter.
