Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Fun fact: The plain vanilla physics major at MIT requires three semesters of quantum mechanics. And that's not including the quantum topics included in the statistical physics course, or the experiments in the lab course that also depend upon it.
Grad school is another year or so of quantum on top of that, of course.
(MIT OpenCourseWare actually has fairly extensive coverage of all three semesters: 8.04, 8.05 and 8.06. Zwiebach was among the best lecturers in the department back in my day, too.)
I almost want to go Twitter diving to see if kache has the requisite unhinged rant about how universities are only making quantum physics hard to get money/because of woke or whatever
e: holy shit I already regret this
We could bottle this arrogance and sell it as an emetic.
And besides, we all know that mathematics videos peaked with the Angle Dance.
as one of many people here who has undergone undergrad math, i reckon a month of youtube and anki might not be enough for even intro to linear algebra. I’m even saying this as someone who skipped all lectures and crammed before all the tests.
yeah don't do it to yourself. I forget how I originally noticed this weirdo, it may have been through amolitor99's continuous anthropology safari of TPOT freaks. Speaking of which, somebody needs to get that guy over here
i have tried occasionally but will try again
dammit now I’m going to have to look at twitter
tpot fresh on my mind, too. just yesterday i was telling someone about how one of the people semi in that cluster had me going 🤨 and then had to explain a little about some of the highlights of tpot
Oh. He retweets Cremieux.
oh, cool, they also claim to be a twitter engineer. that’s probably telling too (if true)
i see your twitter engineer and i raise you elite promptfondler
there's more
or you could use something like qrencode that already is a thing and pipe it to image viewer of your choice
yeah which might it be
he's also lying box understander
(idk why these screenshots get stretched to entire width available sometimes and sometimes they don't)
there's a lot of this
we had these since manhattan project. sit tf down
i think we have different standards on being coherent
echo "<URL>" |
and mac-onlygetoutput("pbpaste")
(yuck).that one-liner is just ...... mental
imagine the fucking brain it takes to go "okay yeah I'll put this through opencv" instead of literally
clipboard-paste | qrencode | clipboard-capture
just whole brain genius levels of bad
Oh my god, the incredibly important numpy import and the way it's not even reading the piped input but the clipboard using a shell command of all things are sending me. Is this the expertise you can gain in two weeks?
mullenweg is a rentseeker in latest wordpress saga, look up last stubsack and one before that
(my bad, I actually just looked at the images earlier, missed that you said that)
…or just use the qrencode's
-t ANSI256
or-t ANSI256UTF8
output format and read your qr code directly from terminal.I was presuming on “pasting to discord or photoshop” type nuisance (given the tweetor), but indeed
finding and looking up information you need effectively is a skill that is both very useful and i don't think it's taught explicitly, it's a byproduct of being taught how to do research more generally. slapping a lying box in its place is not a substitute
but what if the lying box smiled at me and made me feel good about myself, surely that means it's trustworthy right?
jesus christ
(wipes away a single tear)
Beautiful, man, just beautiful
i stared into abyss again and he can't grasp why flywheels for energy storage don't work while trying to make happen a startup that sells hardware
"qm and fluid dynamics are easy" lol
whoa...on second thought, maybe this dude is having a manic episode or something? yeesh!
