that’s a bit much, i mean he’s been obsessed with the idea of “X” since the 90s. his first company was called x dot com, he made the space company he bought change their name to space x, the most gimmicky car he could persuade Tesla to build in the early days was the model x, he has like seven x wives…
joke’s on him, with his new anti-trans legislation this means we’ll get hundreds of new pods led by trans women, which i am all for

fuck that’s funny, didn’t even think of that
i am not assuming anything, i’m going off of what you said.
…but you were talking about the git project in the parent comment? the rest of the thread is about company structure.
yeah sorry this thread isn’t going to go the way you think because what you’re describing is not them having thin skin, it’s you coming into a community you know nothing about and espousing your opinion as if it is fact. no wonder your thread got removed.
dunno. they were talking about git so i was assuming we were talking about git.
that’s just amazon. meta is tiny in comparison, with 75k people.
no it’s not? https://github.com/orgs/mastodon/people
unless we’re talking about different things?
I was thinking specifically about the github.
its an org, it can have multiple owners.

the problem is, apparently, that we just don’t know what sort of effect that heating has when it happens inside the body.
you know, never mind the radio spectrum part of what the sun puts out.
actually no, some of it gets absorbed. that’s why there are SAR values available for all cellphones. it measures how many watts of heat get absorbed per kilogram of brain.
since it’s non-ionizing though, the only effect is a slight heating. like microwatts of heating. 15 minutes in direct sunlight is equal to millions of phone calls. but we do measure it!
it was about nutrition. it started with the fact that proteins, fats and sugars all have different energy densities and so how much weight you gain is dependent on what the food is, which is all fair. but then i made the mistake of saying “your weight won’t go up by more than the weight of the food, anyway.” and that spiralled out of control completely. apparently that’s wrong and you can gain infinite weight from one chocolate bar.
as usual for this person they felt that i refused to take the “holistic” view into account.
a more recent conversation started with them talking about some sort of blood sugar sensor that athletes use and when i said “that’s interesting, what’s it called?” they started talking about gut microbes.
well, they do sell ones that work. you can measure them blocking all em radiation from exiting out the back of your phone… instead blasting all of it into your head. significantly more of it too, since the normal reaction of a phone that loses signal is to boost its own in order to find a tower.

i’m still not entirely sold on them but since i’m currently using one that the company subscribes to i can give a quick opinion:
i had an idea for a code snippet that could save be some headache (a mock for primitives in lua, to be specific) but i foresaw some issues with commutativity (aka how to make sure that
a + b == b + a
). so i asked about this, and the llm created some boilerplate to test this code. i’ve been chatting with it for about half an hour, and had it expand the idea to all possible metamethods available on primitive types, together with about 50 test cases with descriptive assertions. i’ve now run into an issue where the__eq
metamethod isn’t firing correctly when one of the operands is a primitive rather than a mock, and after having the llm link me to the relevant part of the docs, that seems to be a feature of the language rather than a bug.so in 30 minutes i’ve gone from a loose idea to a well-documented proof-of-concept to a roadblock that can’t really be overcome. complete exploration and feasibility study, fully tested, in less than an hour.
