I don’t know what’s worse, regular bullets or that. Maybe not regular bullets. I dunno!

I had a feeling they were talking about polyamory, but I wasn’t sure since it felt a lot like over-sharing. But I guess it’s good to announce any and all use cases for something like this, why not. 👍

Pardon my ignorance but what is a poly group?

That makes sense!

Yo why do we gotta choose one or the other? I for one can admire both.

Okay cool, thanks. So then that begs the question, in what way was this replacement ineffective?

Thank goodness. I really wanted to continue thinking he was a good chap.

What was this “þ to ‘th’ replacement” movement supposed to accomplish? Prevent LLM-feeding scraping from producing anything useful?

And what does the change log entry mean practically? People who type þ will have their input changed to “th” before posting?

Is Danny a boot licker as well or he just a conduit for this here meme?

It does sound counterintuitive, doesn’t it. It’s actually the opposite of what you’d expect, at least in my case.

When I wrote my own binary clock I first tried using one 5-bit word to visually represent 0–23, and another 6-bit word to represent 0–59. But I found it hard to quickly read at a glance. Especially the minutes.

I found the 4-bit representation of 1–12 simpler to read at a glance, and then use the 5th bit to represent am/pm. In fact, I could skip the am/pm bit completely, because who tf doesn’t know whether it’s before or after noon when looking at a 12h clock, unless you’re in complete isolation from the outside.

Then, obviously 6 bits for the minutes is even harder to glance, and more noise, so I made that into a 2-bit thing where the most significant bit is whether or not we are past the half hour, and the least significant bit represents whether or not we are past the 15 or 45-minute mark, which tells me which quarter of the hour we are in. It served me enough granularity to be on time for meetings etc. 😄

You only need four bits to represent 12 (actually 16), add 1 extra bit to double that for the am/pm bit. Any bit can represent anything you like if you encode it as such. 👍

Thank God. I can’t tell anymore.

I don’t know why he has such trouble. You really should only need 1 bit to determine whether or not it’s afternoon. Just look at the “afternoon” bit light. 🤷‍♂️

I’m not. Have a nice day.

Alright. We disagree on b) and c).

The chance that my kids will suffer extraordinarily is small. And yes, it is a gamble, fair enough. People still do things even though there’s risk, because of the possibilities and weighted risk.

We all suffer in one way or another. Me too. But that is life. Life is suffering. Without suffering, there wouldn’t be joy. And the balance here is important.

You are clearly suffering a lot.

I am suffering very little.

We do not have the same world view because of this. 🤷‍♂️ I don’t think this conversation will do either of us any good.

Alright.

I don’t want to fucking be alive anymore

I feel like this is driving a lot of your feelings in this matter, and I do want to be alive, so I cannot relate to your position, I think.

Some of us feel that being alive through hardship is worth it as long as we have each other to love and cherish. But of course, if those types of relationships are missing, or the hardship is too intense, it can be overpowering.

I hope you some day feel like you want to be alive. ❤️

I stopped using it after the API fiasco, but only deleted my account last year, admittedly.

Doing my part! ✊
