my first thought reading this was that you meant it could be a deterrent to burglars. then I imagined a pair of increasingly nervous burglars timing his erections and freaking out as it hit 179 minutes. “we gotta bail man, that’s longer than the average 18 year old”

what is the utility of 179 minutes of night-time erections

there’s a similarity in the sense that they’re both ‘content free.’ pagerank didn’t care about what was on your site, only what your page linked to and what pages linked to you

(past tense bc it’s unclear to me whether Google even uses pagerank at this point)

they diverge pretty significantly in one way: pagerank is an algorithm motivated by pragmatic simplifications. discarding the information of content when ranking sites is only something you would do because using content is really hard. you can take the statistical approach to semantics in the same spirit, but you don’t have to… ai true believers are necessarily treating the maxim I referred to as a philosophical claim, something that addresses the ground truth of what words are

it’s happening omg. check back in five years

you guys aren’t gonna like to hear this, but I love the taste of boot. I love to lick every inch of the boot. god yes, every inch has to be glistening and wet. I have to make sure to get all of the gravel out of the treads. the point is I’m thorough. anyway none of you understand normal people
