What dimensional space are the people arranging themselves in?
But seriously, this reminds me of a time at my former (FAANG) employer where HR sent out a 40-minute video about not being an asshole and avoiding lawsuits.
12 minutes or so in, they say “as the number of people in a group increases, the number of potential 1:1 interactions increases exponentially.” I thought “actually n(n-1)/2 but whatever”, and finished the video intending to get on with my life.
My inbox was FULL of engineers who were irate. “HR have proven themselves to be fools!” “I expect the company to never ask me to waste my time on their bullshit again.” “Once again non-technical people talking out their asses.”
HR sent a global apology for the error, asked everybody to not watch the video while they fixed it, and released a patched version the next day.
It bugs me that people will call anything with a positive second derivative “exponentially increasing”. I can do one better: it increases busy-beaver-y! Is that fast enough for people??
i've lost track of the number of times this has happened to me since joining the fediverse and part of me wishes i had stayed on reddit to remain ignorant of the of ignorant liberal masses.
Yeah, this is me. With unclutter installed to hide the cursor anyway. My cursor just follows the middle of whatever window I have focused at the time in i3wm
In stark contrast to Europe, which enjoyed an abundance of high-quality iron, Japan’s geographical limitations meant that the availability of good iron ore was scarce. Japanese bladesmiths had to work with whatever they could find, which was often of inferior quality. Despite these challenges, the Japanese developed a process to create their own steel, known as tamahagane or jewel steel.
Tamahagane was produced through a labor-intensive method that involved smelting iron sand and charcoal in traditional clay furnaces called tatara. This process required an intricate… read more (there are more weird articles)
