We count 1 to 10 like everyone else!

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Every base is base 10 in its own base.

Really makes you thinks.

Wait a second but you just used null to represent people who don't understand binary... So that leaves 1 to represent something else TELL ME THE OTHER KIND OF PERSON!!!!

They're just playing it safe. Extrapolating from a small dataset is irresponsible

[–] MotoAsh@piefed.social 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

You would hope, but far too many people fail to even understand the shape of the hole in their knowledge, so they wouldn't even recognize what should go in that blank spot...

Then you get billions of people believing there's a magical sky daddy that will take care of us no matter what, and those words about us being good stewards of the earth is totally just about like, not pooping on the road! Definitely not about wanton resource extraction and environmental exploitation and distruction...

All those lessons about how to be a good ruler are just describing that sky daddy! They're definitely not direct and allegorical stories trying to teach what virtues to look for in leaders and which ones deserve to be dethroned... God is definitely real literally and not just allegory for leaders that are glorified, it's definitely not about humans treating other humans with respect, but about Sky Daddy playing with his toys!

Oh my god you people are so insufferable

[–] MotoAsh@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So... you're too stupid to understand how knowledge works? You're too dense to understand the concept of the "known unknown" vs the "unknown unknown"?

You ignorant morons are insufferable to me.

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Case in point. I never mentioned any of those things

[–] MotoAsh@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

You didn't say much at all, just insults. It is very much you failing to communicate anything except contempt, so ofc I have to assume.

You are the problem you complain about, dumbass,

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I never intended to communicate anything except contempt.

[–] MotoAsh@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago

Thus making you your own problem.

"... and horses. Yes, horse people. You thought you could extrapolate from a single data point? Don't be ridiculous."

[–] SaraTonin@lemmy.world 36 points 1 month ago (3 children)

There are two types of people in the world:

  1. Those who divide the world into two types of people
  2. Those who do not divide the world into two types of people

reminds me of this classic:

there's essentially only two types of worldviews in the world: dualistic and non-dualistic worldviews

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

There are two types of absolutists in the world.

  1. Only the Sith deal in absolutes
[–] n0respect@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

There are three types of people in the world:

  1. Those who can count
  2. Those who cant

There's two major sources of confusion in IT:

  • caching
  • giving variables names
  • off-by-one errors
[–] BurnoutDV@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

There js also the variant

  1. Asynch...
  2. Variable Names
  3. Off by one errors...ronity

That reminds me of: Two threads a bar walk into.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

The ones who think they can, and get it wrong, helped put Trump in office.

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

And those who can extrapolate from complete data, got it.

[–] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 13 points 1 month ago

"Congratulations! You're both very special."

[–] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago

Bonus: it's a statistics class.

[–] dick_fineman@discuss.online 7 points 1 month ago

Damn, is your professor Thor?

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So one asked the question, and then someone else asked the same question?

[–] illi@piefed.social 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's more common than you'd think

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Then that means there's 3 types of people

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hmm expecting people to extrapolate from incomplete date is how you end up with responses like "I don't care who the second group is, their mysterious ways must be wiped from the earth."

[–] III@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Not sure why you added the /s when this line of thinking is quickly becoming the primary line of thinking.

...and they thought they were being clever

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Two types of people. Those who have lost data, those who will.
