LOGIC💣

I’m sure Randall Munroe knows this better than most, but Einstein’s insight more derailed physics than overturned it. What I mean is that the path it seemed like physics was on at the time was torn out from under the establishment. But it’s not like the work done to that point was discarded.

I thought there was a chance that AlexisFR would respond without realizing that I was repeating the important part of the koan as a joke, because you don’t always see the context when looking at replies to your comments. But I didn’t expect that a random person who had apparently just read the koan 5 seconds earlier would already have forgotten it.

You don’t really know it will cause it to break again with no understanding of what is going on.

This reminds me of this old hacker koan:

A novice was trying to fix a broken Lisp machine by turning the power off and on. [Tom] Knight, seeing what the student was doing, spoke sternly: “You cannot fix a machine by just power-cycling it with no understanding of what is going wrong.”

Knight turned the machine off and on.

The machine worked.

I am not sure how many times I’ve been mistaken for ChatGPT, but I don’t think my writing style is actually very similar.

I’m pretty sure that when people say that, most of the time, they actually mean, “I want to disagree with what you’re saying, but I lack the ability to do so legitimately. If I simply accuse you of using an LLM, people will assume I’m right and I will ‘win’.”

Claim:

• I use bullet points in every post

Fact Check:

Out of your 36 comments, this is the only one with bullet points. That’s only 2.7% of your comments. One other has an enumeration, but an enumeration is not bullet points.

Additionally, you have one post, but that also doesn’t use bullet points. 0% of your actual posts use bullet points.

Conclusion: Claim is FALSE. Ziffy-fa-Jazz-KZone-Sweek’em does not use bullet points in every post.
