designing my next keyboard PCB is going well

EDIT: There's a typo in the alt text. It's supposed to read "Some people, when confronted with a problem, think 'I know, I'll design a keyboard.' Now they have two problems"

Can't believe they spent a gigawatt training GPT3 and the fucker isn't even trying to overthrow humanity.

Look, where I come from, if you burn a gigawatt of energy to make an AI, it had better damn well go skynet on you.

@foone They’ve finally added an eszett to Unicode, though typographers are still debating what it should look like: http://cinga.ch/eszett/

The Roman empire fell because their Roman numerals weren't a form of positional notation, so they couldn't figure out binary. Their computers were terrible.

@foone if they had Lisp, they’d have been fine, as addition on Roman numerals is just a normalise, a merge and a denormalise. As long as they didn’t need negative numbers, that is.
