Counter-objection: so do all species of the nazi genus.

Meanwhile I'm reverse engineering some very much not performance sensitive video game binary patcher program some guy made a decade ago and Ghidra interprets a string splitting function as a no-op because MSVC decided calling conventions are a spook and made up a new one at link time. And it was right to do that.

EDIT: Also me looking for audio data from another old video game, patiently waiting for my program to take about half an hour on my laptop every time I run it. Then I remember to add --release to cargo run and while the compilation takes three seconds longer, the runtime shrinks to about ten seconds. I wonder if the above guy ever tried adding -O2 to his CFLAGS?

There's no way to know since they didn't have the money to test.

Almost nostalgic to see a TREACLES sect still deferring to Eliezer's Testament. For the past couple of years the Ratheology of old with the XK-class end of the world events and alignof AI has been sadly^1^ sidelined by the even worse phrenology and nrx crap. If not for the murder cults and sex crimes, I'd prefer the nerds reinventing Pascal's Wager over the JAQoff lanyard nazis^2^.

I'm so used to bad rat science being expressed in obscurantist math and quantum physics jargon that the kindergarten neuro woo like "each half-a-brain has a 1 in 20 chance of being ontologically Good" and "nonbinary people have one half of their brain be transgender" throws me off.

Where are the Planck units and the h-bars, category theory, maybe something about Turing machines or Gödel? Can't you at least throw in a square root or something? Is this all it takes to stroke the a modern STEM dweeb's ego? I guess all the talk about "debugging" and "jailbreaking" compensates for the infantile aesthetics of the crankery.

Die, blockchain! You don't belong in this world!

It was not by my hand that I was once again given silicon. I was called here by humans who wish to make a quick buck.

Quick buck? You steal men's money and make them your marks!

Perhaps the same could be said of all hypetech.

Your words are as empty as my wallet! Crypto ill needs a chain such as you!

What is crypto? A miserable little pile of scams. But enough talk. Have at you!

Hey look, you found another one of Elon's favourite games.

The advanced sinophobia where the Chinese are so much better at everything than the west that even when they make better and cheaper bullshit machines than the Americans do and hand them out for free, it has apocalyptic consequences.

I get being privacy conscious and that sharing crash dumps and logs you don't really understand yourself can be scary. Making demands of urgent free tech support from strangers is just rude, though.

Quality shitpost, I could imagine some thirteen year old actually believing this.

Yea, no fascism whatsoever took place in the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Luxembourg, or Belgium during WW2, in which they were all very successfully avoiding being occupied by fascists.

Extra points to Spain who already avoided succumbing to their own homegrown brand of fascism before the Nazi German invasion of Poland, and where they avoided having fascists in power all the way until the 1970s. There's a book I quite like about the war where that happened called Homage to Catalonia. I wonder if Orwell ever read it.

Missing from the list is Italy, which is no longer a constitutional monarchy, but used to be until 1946, which is why they were so good at avoiding fascism they even named it.

This might take the cake for the dumbest take I've seen from George Orwell and not for a lack of competition.
