I consider aetheism to be more an absence of belief in gods.
Its not that i believe there arent gods. Its that i have no belief in gods.
The former being anti-god/anti-religion. And the later being anti-belief.
Maybe like "not accidentally cutting yourself" and "not having a knife". Both lead to "not accidentally cutting yourself", but 1 involves a knife.

It's a souper joke

Yeh, it's just that the UK has all sorts of different types of schools ( https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/37696598 ).
I don't really know/remember if the US has a bunch of different types of schools

I'm more aware of the fucked up and abusive manosphere.
Is "tradwife" actually a thing?
I mean, if literally EVERYONE was a tradwife, would it be a bad thing?

I think if everyone was in the manosphere we would be fucked.

They will be using data center compute to generate the traffic, but proxy it through residential proxies and other compromised devices that form a botnet.
Central generation with remote access for the trolls, and distributed outbound traffic.

You've never experienced an AWS US East outage, huh?

Or perhaps confirmed success. And "trying" means "we saw signs of it, but haven't confirmed its impact or if our mitigations worked" (or "don't want to confirm")

First of all, I like the alliteration of examples I always struggle with things like that, and alliteration is an obvious (now, to me) bridge for these.

explore ideas too large to fit in our brains

Another excellent explanation of programming.
And it really does describe the programming of tasks, from punch card weaving machines, to punch card data entry, to direct data entry, to punch card processing, direct processing, and eventually the whole Operating System, Assembly, and Higher Level Languages... And all of the steps between that have since developed.
You can become an expert in memory management, and that idea fits into your brain. And you build the APIs that mean memory management doesn't have to fit into other people's brains. So they can work on instruction optimisation, or storage optimisation.

Standing on the shoulders of giants.
There is so much that can be solved with programming these days, but actual people have so much more... Peoplesness, humanity, realness... That some things aren't worth programming yet... That problem hasn't been solved yet

It's almost anything.

Objects? Python macro into FreeCAD into 3d printer. (Maybe there is a better way? I like having that final 3d editing space to tweak).

Literally any data-> data system. If you have structured data, and something wants structured data? Programmable.

Music is sooo mathematical when you get into it. But the creativity is recognising moving from one math to another, or just throwing math out the window. So yeh, programmable. Making it good? Creative

I hate to say, but LLMs show that some level of human interaction can be maths (it's all just floating point multiplication). (And I say "interaction", it's not intelligent or creative or anything actually human).

If it's maths, it can be programmed.

"move fast and break things" applied to the ecology and humans. Except without the "fix it" stage

Or you tell it not to commit but to suggest the commit message

 

I've been here a while, and I appreciate the community and the defed/hiding list.
I also know programming.dev contributes to upstream Lemmy repos.

I saw another post about another instances funding.
Which reminded me....

Is programming.dev on track for funding?
Need some more donations?
Is there a runway?
