    assert(len(quz.edges) == 0) # assertion fails??

Mutable default values are shared across objects. The set in this case.

It's even more direct than that, the statement itself is absolute so logically it's equivalent to saying "I am a sith"

to be fair, I may have gotten a bit lucky with the exact search, any other section of the lyrics would most likely not find it

The first one is "Go Green" by Mitch Benn

found it in 2 minutes just by googling the lyrics in your comment, specifically this search:

"go green when they go green"

We’ll go green when you go green
You’ll go green when he goes green
We’ll get as far as aquamarine or so
But we’re still gonna call it green

but I couldn't find the second one

disagreeing with a bunch of delusional tankies is not the same thing as trolling, and I think somewhere deep down you know that.

That you've successfully driven away 99% of people who disagree with you does not make you any more correct.

Your unwillingness to understand does not a non sequitur make.

What are your thoughts on Louis Rossmann? in c/[email protected]

I long wondered how he manages to identify as a libertarian despite what he spends all his time talking about, now it's starting to make more sense lol

Not knowing how to write C means you are objectively a very bad engineer in c/programmingcirclejerk

Hey, that's unfair! As long as you don't make silly beginner mistakes like using the standard library's string implementation, the standard library's regex implementation, the standard library's hash table implementation, or standard io, C++ is almost always faster than python!

the scott alexander fanclub on reddit is especially unhinged lately. Some choice picks, beginning gently with a sneer:

Anyone who says there is a 0% chance of a fried egg being sentient is overconfident. Nobody knows what causes consciousness. We have no way of detecting it & we can barely agree on a definition. So we should be less than 100% certain about anything to do with consciousness and fried eggs.

moving on,

For me, I currently believe that the way forward is gathering my Dunbar community of ~150 values-aligned people and dropping out together to live in intentional community, generally off-the-grid, interacting with technology only as a tool (no news/algorithms/push notifications), close enough to a major city to visit friends but far enough away to isolate ourselves when we want to.
We then push forward into an unknown world, supporting each other, doing enough trade and consulting with the outside world to ensure a positive trade surplus for the collective and distributing the profits among us to sustain the community.

Yes, that is a response to AI despair. In a "non-doomer thread". Because of course.

but what takes the cake is the regularly scheduled IQ thread, a beautiful dumpster fire which burns especially bright on this day. Yet one specimen soars above the din:

The average should recognize and accept their inferiority and make peace with the fact that they will live and die a mediocre life. They should stop trying to interfere in the affairs of their betters and content themselves with their own garden, which can provide enough happiness for them until the end of their life if properly cultivated.

Further study of the user's excreta clarifies that they are:

sincere
definitely not racist

Spotify also originally got all its music by pirating it. But later it started printing money for record labels (while fucking over musicians) so all was forgiven.

Leases would show as zero on the balance sheet if the government owned their own buildings. But of course someone decided that was "against the free market" so now the government cannot own anything in the name of "efficiency"
