  • no stigma has nothing to do with anything. people do die from its usage (or the consequences of its usage). It is more toxic than a lot of other “harder” drugs. It can ruin lives and break up families just as well. we’re talking about what it is, not how it is perceived. I am also not implying you should smoke weed instead. Everyone has their drug of choice. To each their own. But make no mistake, it’s a drug nonetheless.











  • You point to me and tell me this is a bike. If we go around it 90 degrees and you ask me what it is, I can still tell you it’s a bike, even though I don’t know what one does or is used for. absolutely none of what you mentioned. i need no context. I only need to be able to tell that you pointed to the same object the second time even though I’m viewing it from a slightly different angle.

    You point and say “this is a bike”, we walk around it, you point again and ask me “what is that?” I reply “a bike… you’ve just told me!”

    Neural networks simply can’t do that. It won’t even recognize that it is the same object if it wasn’t specifically trained to recognze it from all angles. You’re talking about a completely different thing, which I never mentioned.






  • thanks for the advice. I knew about the search feature, but sometimes the stuff you need isn’t even on the page. I have no idea how to find what I need when it’s not in “man cmdname” how am I supposed to know that the feature i want has a dedicated page?

    how could I find certain commands if i didn’t already know it was a shell builtin and not a command? It’s not like you get a manpage saying “this is not a command”. And even if i did have the idea to open the bash page, it’s still useless, because builtins are their own dedicated page. That sort of stuff. It rarely ever makes things easier for me.

    edit, it is occasionally useful phen I have already found what I want on google and just want some more in depth details.
