it’s also what i do when i run my programs over and over again hoping the bugs fix themselves
Idk, if you’re doing the same thing after your training that you were doing before, you either didn’t need training or you weren’t successfully trained.
It’s an idiom, it’s not meant to be a clinical diagnosis. Like, yeah if you’re psychiatrist says it to you qnd tries to have you institutionalized, that’s obviously a problem. But I highly doubt that’s ever happened, certainly not in the modern age.
Ultimately, it’s actually the same exact idea as “Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it,” but in less politically correct terms.

For the training, I’d argue that you’re not trying to get different results.
Each time, the result is minor growth in whatever your goal is, be it strength, muscle mass, or endurance, etc.

think the meme has some grounds for truth. of course it was designed to be a dramatic speech for a scary character but it has some grounds to it: this may not be the truth but its how it feels. By doing the same thing over and over again and seeing no chance you go insane, and as such it feels like doing so is asking for insanity, thus the characters speech!

Doing the same thing over and over with an expectation to see differing results is also science.

But also if you keep running the compiler without changing any of the code hoping for the errors to be magically gone, you are insane. So there’s the same logic being applied to insanity in computer science

Actually when you create a hypothesis and test it and prove it out, it is meant to be 100% repeatable by anyone following the metgod. Otherwise your method or hypothesis is wrong.
Right, but the reason you run the experiment repeatedly is to test the validity of the hypothesis. You’re looking for something different to happen. That’s the point behind rerunning the tests.
Right, but if you find a difference you alter the method or hypothesis, to get repearbility. An insane person (not neccessarily crazy person, but one that doesn’t follow sane rationalizarion) will keep repeating exact same thing.
Doing the same thing over and over with an expectation to see differing results is also science.
If you’re getting different results it’s because you’re adjusting something. That’s training.

You’re also in a meme community, commenting on a meme, so while technically correct, it’s not super relevant.
I mean, Jeffrey Dahmer was universally considered insane and he didn’t “do the same thing over and over and expect different results”. He just killed and ate people over and over and expected them to taste good.
So they tasted good? If not, where’s the difference?
For me, it’s the definition of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.
Not to mention it’s always attributed to Albert Einstein which is not something he said and not something he would ever have said. Doesn’t stop people from continuing to invoke this “definition of insanity” as if its a smart thing to say.
Yeah but Vaas is iconic and absolutely arresting in every scene he’s in.
Iconic only for those who played it or randomly encountered him via meme propagation.
You should play it 3 is the best far cry game

Is anyone going to tell Elon he cant own the letter X
That’s a pretty terrible trademark
Tell that Apple.
Didn’t they try to sue someone for using an apple as a logo in Switzerland?Not sure about Switzerland but they did try in Poland https://www.pcworld.com/article/461258/apple_vs_a_pl_tech_company_sues_online_polish_grocer_over_logo.html
curious what the result of this case was, quick search didn’t come with any updates.
Very hard to find updates indeed, this doesn’t say much more but it’s from 2015 https://itkey.media/apple-sues-polish-entrepreneur-over-ap-pl/
He’s just a big fan of X11.
Nobody’s a big fan of X11
Still astounding that after so many years Wayland is still inferior in a lot regards to X11. And by design will probably never be able to better in these regards
X via SSH is such a great feature. Would really love to see it in Wayland.
There’s no protocol-level support, but all the communication happens over a socket and shared buffers, so that can be serialized. I believe Waypipe does this.

He’s been hanging onto that x.com url for so long, he insists it’s gonna get used
Couldn’t he have just started a blog, like a normal person?
The best part is he had to buy the rights back from Paypal, he just did it back in 2017.
I don’t quite understand the rage against this guy, imo he’s one of the more likeable and interesting billionaires in the world. At least he has visions and wants to change the world for the better, something you cannot say about Jeff Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg etc.
Reasons:
He is a petty person; he called one of the divers saving Thai children a pedo, tried to get a lawyer fired for successfully suing him, is suing the firm which forced him to buy Twitter
He fights unionization while tesla has safety and racism issues, and just look at spaceX on glassdoor
His securities fraud, plus dogecoin pump and dump
He dislikes mass-transit and blocks actually helpful transit ideas with Boring & Hyperloop
And ofc his management of Twitter leaves much to be desired
He is an alt-right douche and it escapes me how him constantly being purposely antagonistic for fun lends to being “likeable”. The abhorrent political views would be enough, but there’s a lot more.
He’s a vocal transphobe and all around nasty piece of work, and he doesn’t want to change the world for the better - he wants to use that narrative to line his wallet for the better.
He suggested that Ukraine should surrender to Russia and give up their Land. His own daughter hates him so much that she expressed in court that she doesn’t even want to inherit his money or be related to him in any shape or way. He cancelled the Tesla order of a blogger after the blogger said he was disappointed that Elon musk made a bunch of people wait for multiple hours without communicating anything. He is known as a bad boss that overworks his workers and pays then poorly. He has shown himself to be transphobic, ableistic, racist, ageist, hypocritical and a liar
I like that guy. Very likeable.

At this point where he is basically stripping the site of its users (paid + limits) and branding (removing the twitter bird) why didn’t he just start up his own social media site and slow grow it instead of wasting money to pillage the competitor and then strip it of everything that made it what it was, i.e., the user base and the brand recognition?
He didn’t want twitter in the first place. He made some legally binding comments and was legally required to purchase it after meme-ing an offer and thinking he could get away with it lol. Now he’s suing the lawyers that made him buy Twitter.
Musk is not a very smart man.
To be precise, he’s sueing the lawyers Twitter hired in the case to force him to buy, as Twitter paid them a bunch of money they weren’t legally obligated to pay, just before the purchase went through.
Weren’t legally obligated, that we know of. There could have been a fee paid at delivery of the deal being made, since that’s how this firm and the firm that Musk hired to sue the old firm charge. They keep the billable hours down in order to keep the price low unless they win and then there is normally a “winning fee”.
Without context it makes it seem that the payment was out of left field when it was business as usually, especially since Musk didn’t want to actually go through with it.
It’s questionable whether they were or weren’t. One would suspect a normal CEO of having evidence that they weren’t legally obligated to if they sued, but this is Musk we are talking about.
It’s like trying to have the hero fight a giant spider in every movie you make.

yep. The fact that lemmy is even needed goes to show how millionaires are never to be trusted.
The legal term for not knowing the difference between right and wrong? I suppose that still applies.
There are a lot of “that guys.” That guy who quotes Bob Dylan. That guy who wears crazy pants. That guy who’s good at ping-pong. And so forth. Decades ago, Elon Musk apparently decided to be That Guy Who Really Likes the Letter X. You do you.
what company is he gonna buy now, and name it S ?

The brand with the bird and all was actually one of the more valuable parts of Twitter that he bought…
Thanks Vaas
Turns out an insane guy isn’t the best person to correctly define insanity.
