but if cheesecake factory hired him and supported him to make this discovery, you would look at the menu differently.

You gonna do better? Then go into politics. Otherwise take your pick.

Russian spies. Nice try.

Gullible people are partially to be blamed.

What are you talking about, we are going to breed our generation of evil motherfuckers.

Do you really don’t know why, or are you being sarcastic?

He said this: I have never done anything “useful”. No discovery of mine has made, or is likely to make, directly or indirectly, for good or ill, the least difference to the amenity of the world.

That’s in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Mathematician’s_Apology, the summary of which matches what you said:

One of the main themes of the book is the beauty that mathematics possesses, which Hardy compares to painting and poetry.[5] For Hardy, the most beautiful mathematics was that which had no practical applications in the outside world (pure mathematics) and, in particular, his own special field of number theory. Hardy contends that if useful knowledge is defined as knowledge which is likely to contribute to the material comfort of mankind in the near future (if not right now), so that mere intellectual satisfaction is irrelevant, then the great bulk of higher mathematics is useless. He justifies the pursuit of pure mathematics with the argument that its very “uselessness” on the whole meant that it could not be misused to cause harm. On the other hand, Hardy denigrates much of the applied mathematics as either being “trivial”, “ugly”, or “dull”, and contrasts it with “real mathematics”, which is how he ranks the higher, pure mathematics.

As a manager, I would ask you to file a Jira ticket first.

ChatGPT suggested G.H.Hardy.

Well no, because all the other things you do will make that face look a bit different.

Like, I am on lemmy 4 hours a day minimum, I can’t restrict myself to 30 minutes reading only.

I am not being serious.

Does it? I personally would not buy anything from CDPR ever unless I got no better option. Many would think the same.

Why do you think it didn’t go into devs? Maybe you are being cynical, but managers and CEOs are definitely devs too, they need their extra motivation to convince themselves the game is gooder.

If I am on a 20 minutes drive I need the damn thing to keep playing music for 20 minutes, not just randomly stop playing halfway through a song. YTM does that. Spotify doesn’t. Nor does my other background players.

Music would randomly stop playing. I can just continue it, no error or warning. Spotify doesn’t do that, nor does other background media players.

Okay, it isn’t just me who find YTM buggy.

As a music player, could it please play music? Jesus.

This is just about efficiency. Postal (including UPS / FedEx) can plan the route ahead, stack parcels with as little space as possible, and deliver hundreds of packages in a day. UberEats doesn’t know when will order show up, doesnt know when will order be ready, it can deliver maybe 2 - 3 orders in a row, the route planning is just in time.

Tell me how is this only explainable by socialized system.

If intelligence is indeed strength, how the fuck did the smart-ass liberals fail to overpower the conservatives? Real liberals are way less intelligent than what we would like to believe.
