They fed every possible scrap of humanity's output into a word processing algorithm, and then are shocked to see humanity reflected in the output.

Failing the mirror test.

Mine is also.. inaccurate

Those GLP-1 results and the adenovirus 36 correlation with obesity raises some questions about how much obesity is the cause of problems, vs. whether obesity is primarily a symptom of viral infections, which cause inflammation and other issues.

One time when creating a new surface type implementation, the mesher would only run when the file was first opened. Somehow the staff artist was still making art, by saving and reloading after each topology change or moving verts. Incredible that they didn’t just ragequit the job.

The great thing about the scarcity of crypto coins is that you can keep creating new coins and have as much artificial scarcity as you want.

“Why is DNS so hard? It’s only naming things and cache invalidation”

I’d be tempted to build a system that minimizes some energy and solve a linear system

I thought this could be avoided by pressing ctrl-opt-b?

You could make the exact same arguments about crypto, and many did.

Another way of saying the same thing is that either you’re deeply invested in the topic and it is difficult to admit the investment wasn’t worth it, or you didn’t see value early and didn’t waste your time / effort / money

Manifold is extremely robust
