On thinkpads it is, there is a magnet on the bottom.

That’s the joke, yes.

There is an amazing quirk of the LLM, whenever I don’t know about the topic, and refuse to google, it gives me some useful answers, but if I ask it something I know about, the answers are always stupid and wrong. I asked a computer about it but it said that everything is normal and I should buy better subscription, so there’s that.

Nobody’s saying that our royals are classy, except themselves, their paid weirdos, and, weirdly enough, americans.

I remember all those plastic clicking solutions that held batteries back then. I remember them because they always broke, always. I always have a small multitool with a screwdriver on me, and I can’t recommend it enough

I’m actually happy the battery is screwed in. Most people wouldn’t be swapping the battery in a daily basis (and those who do have a screwdriver anyway so it’s not really a problem), but the benefits are more secure connection and less fiddly locking mechanisms that just prone to fail.

If you struggle to save $600 in 2 years, you don’t have a car already, it required $3000 worth of maintenance 3 years ago and you didn’t have it so you sold it for parts, or it still rotting behind a dumpster. If you struggle to save $600 in 2 years, your problems aren’t coffee.

If you can barely save $600 in 2 years, $600 will do jack shit for you in emergency and you better spend it on drugs, at least that way you can forget the pain of living for a moment.

If you think walking and staring at the moon makes life worth living, it’s exactly as sad as liking coffee. Maybe even more so, you can’t even taste the moon.

We’re trying to build the Torment Nexus from the famous novel Don’t Build The Torment Nexus, but keep failing miserably and the Torment Nexus keeps blowing up killing random bystanders. We continue to try though.

You’re in minority. Usually when people hire programmers they want us to jump through unnecessary hoops and solve stupid fucking leetcode bullshit, and rarely care about anything else. Oh how I hate the leetcode bullshit.

Can’t confirm, I’m old and a nerd and I love C++

I have a friend who swears by llms, he sais it helps him a lot. I once watched him do it, and the experience was exactly the same you described. He wasted couple of hours fighting with bullshit generator just to do everything himself anyway. I asked him wouldn’t it be better to not waste the time, but he didn’t really saw the problem, he gaslit himself that fighting with the idiot machine helped.

The ideal code is no code at all

I saw it in Rome last time I was there, before covid

Their bottom line is gold, this should tell you everything you need to know about the creator of the meme.

There are other EVs worth investing in.

Trains, for example

China, seriously?

You’re Basic

Women were supposed to perform all the domestic labour. All of it. That myth of liberated soviet woman shatters the second you learn about any aspect of the soviet existance.
30 years later, and I still can’t convince my mom that doing all the domestic work and be toe-to-toe with men in a workplace isn’t something all women just have to do.
