[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

We count 1 to 10 like everyone else!

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 3 days 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!!!!

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 65 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] MotoAsh@piefed.social 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days 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 0 points 2 days 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 2 days ago (1 children)

Case in point. I never mentioned any of those things

[–] MotoAsh@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I never intended to communicate anything except contempt.

[–] MotoAsh@piefed.social 1 points 2 days 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."

There's two major sources of confusion in IT:

  • caching
  • giving variables names
  • off-by-one errors
[–] BurnoutDV@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days 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.

[–] SaraTonin@lemmy.world 36 points 3 days 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 3 days ago

There are two types of absolutists in the world.

  1. Only the Sith deal in absolutes
[–] n0respect@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

There are three types of people in the world:

  1. Those who can count
  2. Those who cant
[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago

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

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 26 points 3 days ago

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

[–] xxce2AAb 13 points 3 days ago

"Congratulations! You're both very special."

[–] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 days ago

Bonus: it's a statistics class.

[–] dick_fineman@discuss.online 7 points 3 days ago

Damn, is your professor Thor?

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] illi@piefed.social 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's more common than you'd think

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Then that means there's 3 types of people

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 5 points 3 days 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 3 days 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 3 days ago

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