Rust is already obsolete, compared to Stingpie's excellent assembly language, paired with object oriented programming!

This is the SEALPOOP specification:

  1. an assembler must create a binary program which satisfies the programmer's specifications.
  2. a compiler must translate the programmer's code into SEALPOOP's parallel instruction set source, which should be fed into the SEALPOOP PISS assembler.

I don't think the Chinese room is a good analogy for this. The Chinese room has a conscious person at the center. A better analogy might be a book with a phrase-to-number conversion table, a couple number-to-number conversion tables, and finally a number-to-word conversion table. That would probably capture transformer's rigid and unthinking associations better.

No, you're thinking of the first scene of the movie where a fly falls into the teletype machine and causes it to type 'tuttle' instead of 'buttle'.

Ok. I'm getting tired. You bested me this round. Have a nice day.

You say it's the goal of the proletariat to protect the revolution, but why would they? Each proletariat would benefit from the revolution's failure- they could live better lives as the bourgeois. You talk about the proletariat like they are some monolithic entity, with a single mind and goal. You talk big about helping the individual, but cannot see beyond their class. The proletariat is a person, with needs, desires and opinions. What father would hold the abstract ideals of the "revolution" over the life of his sick daughter? Any father I know would do anything for the safety of his children, even hoard life-saving medicine from others.

Communist logix

we need to abolish private property so everybody has equal power.

we class of people to maintain public ownership

After all, how can we enforce public ownership without a more powerful class of enforcers?

I'm pretty sure fused add multiply with store is part of the AVX instruction set.

Cardinal numbers refer to the size of a set. (10 apples in a basket) Ordinal numbers refer to the order of elements in a set (third apple put into the basket) you can rearrange an ordered set and retain the same cardinality (ten apples in the basket) but you'd change the order of the elements (switch the third and sixth apple).

The floor number you're on is an ordinal number. You can rearrange the elements while retaining the cardinality of the set, (the total number of floors does not change) but the order of the set is changed (the third floor is switched with the sixth floor).

Hope that clears up the confusion. Have a nice day.

Cardinal refers to number, while ordinal refers to sequence. Both American & British systems are ordinal, since changing the order of the floor numbers would make no sense. If they were cardinal, the order would be irrelevant.

Personally, I prefer the American system, since the bottom floor is what you enter on, and is therefore the first floor you interact with.

Fahernhaters are always like, "nooo!! 40 degrees is so hot!!" Meanwhile, the fahrenchad's resting body temperature is nearly 2.5 times hotter. All fahernhaters would die at that temperature.

Which one is cooler? Cause I'm that one.
