I imagine the amount of airplane code has been dwarfed for decade(s) by python/js slop, and the ratio has only gotten more extreme when LLMs got really good at mass-producing python/js slop .

Only the pure of heart are allowed to create new housing, because when greedy people build houses they are metaphysically haunted or something.

smash enough interviewers and your bound to produce a nepo baby

I really want to create an i++ language for similar reasons

Stagnation isn't the problem per se! It's probably built into the very structure of how human knowledge works; people are not really being hurt by being able to keep their phone for a decade.

The problem is how people react to that stagnation, trying increasingly dumb things to stand out.

This is why (some) 20th century scientific racists thought east africans (sudanese, sometimes ethiopians or somalis) were white!

It's a great edgelord "exception that proves the rule" to say that ackchually, some white people actually have black skin, as proven by advanced caliper technology.

love the comic sans but wtf is this chart

This was just common-sense good manners in ancient east asia. It's also why many modern asian languages use atrophied slaveself 1st-person pronouns :/

this is the #1 problem that balkanization at least partially solves

Hes posted it at least once - a few weeks back he responded to dome thread about “stancilism” along those lines

He also hasn't claimed to be saying something original.
IDK if he's ever fully attributed the source of those ideas (or even fully knows their genealogy) but he has specifically said that he didn't come up with them.

It's reasonable to argue for what you think true, even if you didn't invent it.

Kinda? But only in other languages, it doesn't ever translate to English

fun question: what is the “abstract” they have in common?

Wait really? IIRC russia correctly attributes it's dumplings to "from siberia somewhere" and I guessed (without evidence) all the turkic or turkic-influenced "man(t/d)(i/u/eu/o)" are so obviously cross-cultural that nobody would try to claim them?

IMO it's only contested because it becomes a weird nationalism thing, and like all weird nationalism things they're usually wrong.

Clearest example is Georgia arguing they were independently invented, despite every single one of its neighbors getting dumplings fast-tracked from east asia.

Que est ce que il y a?

Do you see not see the difference between the "committee for managing affairs" and "god king"? The french bourgeoisie had a rather well-known revolution to transition from one to the other...
