Even if that had been what that commenter meant, being willing to die (at someone else's hand) for something you believe in is not even remotely the same as suicidal ideation.

The statement is "smarter", not "possesses more information". None of the things you listed (LLMs, libraries, Wikipedia, etc.) have any capacity to reason.

I'd bet it actually simplifies as least as many things as it breaks. Basically all computers already keep track of time as a count of seconds since a UTC epoch anyway, and then do timezone conversions on top of that.

This is not it. What an abhorrent and sadistic take.

Here's a handy tip for the future: if you find yourself writing a sentence that goes "I really hope [...] poor people [...] suffer greatly", maybe reconsider posting it.

I can guarantee you that is not the argument that anyone not voting for Harris because of Gaza was using.

I am pretty sure Ubuntu is still far and away the most popular desktop distro. For servers I would have guessed it was something like RedHat/CentOS or possibly Debian.

The object doesn't absorb their mass, but rather their energy (which admittedly can be equated to a mass via a factor of c^2, but that's not actually what's happening). The change in momentum that results from a photon hitting you isn't caused by a change in m, it comes from a change in v. If mass were the quantity being transferred, solar sails wouldn't work to move anything; they would just sit there and get more massive as photons hit them.

Here is my attempt at digitizing that plot and then log-scaling the vertical axis.

That's what the meme is saying too
