The brand with the bird and all was actually one of the more valuable parts of Twitter that he bought...

Idk, if you're doing the same thing after your training that you were doing before, you either didn't need training or you weren't successfully trained.
It's an idiom, it's not meant to be a clinical diagnosis. Like, yeah if you're psychiatrist says it to you qnd tries to have you institutionalized, that's obviously a problem. But I highly doubt that's ever happened, certainly not in the modern age.
Ultimately, it's actually the same exact idea as "Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it," but in less politically correct terms.
You're also in a meme community, commenting on a meme, so while technically correct, it's not super relevant.
it's also what i do when i run my programs over and over again hoping the bugs fix themselves
For me, it's the definition of Flamin' Hot Cheetos.
Yeah but Vaas is iconic and absolutely arresting in every scene he's in.

You miss 100% of the DSM that doesn’t get discredited 3 years from now.
—Michael Gretzky
Doing the same thing over and over with an expectation to see differing results is also science.
Actually when you create a hypothesis and test it and prove it out, it is meant to be 100% repeatable by anyone following the metgod. Otherwise your method or hypothesis is wrong.
Right, but the reason you run the experiment repeatedly is to test the validity of the hypothesis. You're looking for something different to happen. That's the point behind rerunning the tests.

But also if you keep running the compiler without changing any of the code hoping for the errors to be magically gone, you are insane. So there's the same logic being applied to insanity in computer science

If you're getting different results it's because you're adjusting something. That's training.
Not to mention it's always attributed to Albert Einstein which is not something he said and not something he would ever have said. Doesn't stop people from continuing to invoke this "definition of insanity" as if its a smart thing to say.
What a lovely twist on an annoying misattributed quote!

He's been hanging onto that x.com url for so long, he insists it's gonna get used
He's just a big fan of X11.
Nobody's a big fan of X11
Still astounding that after so many years Wayland is still inferior in a lot regards to X11. And by design will probably never be able to better in these regards
X via SSH is such a great feature. Would really love to see it in Wayland.
There's no protocol-level support, but all the communication happens over a socket and shared buffers, so that can be serialized. I believe Waypipe does this.
Is anyone going to tell Elon he cant own the letter X
That's a pretty terrible trademark
Tell that Apple.
Didn't they try to sue someone for using an apple as a logo in Switzerland?
Not sure about Switzerland but they did try in Poland https://www.pcworld.com/article/461258/apple_vs_a_pl_tech_company_sues_online_polish_grocer_over_logo.html
curious what the result of this case was, quick search didn't come with any updates.
Very hard to find updates indeed, this doesn't say much more but it's from 2015 https://itkey.media/apple-sues-polish-entrepreneur-over-ap-pl/
At this point where he is basically stripping the site of its users (paid + limits) and branding (removing the twitter bird) why didn't he just start up his own social media site and slow grow it instead of wasting money to pillage the competitor and then strip it of everything that made it what it was, i.e., the user base and the brand recognition?
He didn't want twitter in the first place. He made some legally binding comments and was legally required to purchase it after meme-ing an offer and thinking he could get away with it lol. Now he's suing the lawyers that made him buy Twitter.
Musk is not a very smart man.
To be precise, he's sueing the lawyers Twitter hired in the case to force him to buy, as Twitter paid them a bunch of money they weren't legally obligated to pay, just before the purchase went through.
Weren't legally obligated, that we know of. There could have been a fee paid at delivery of the deal being made, since that's how this firm and the firm that Musk hired to sue the old firm charge. They keep the billable hours down in order to keep the price low unless they win and then there is normally a "winning fee".
Without context it makes it seem that the payment was out of left field when it was business as usually, especially since Musk didn't want to actually go through with it.
Giving a shit about some corporation rebranding itself?
He failed at PayPal and they kicked him for it, so surely the X is totally a good omen for him right? That’s why he keeps going back.

He looks older in older pictures, creepy
There are a lot of “that guys.” That guy who quotes Bob Dylan. That guy who wears crazy pants. That guy who’s good at ping-pong. And so forth. Decades ago, Elon Musk apparently decided to be That Guy Who Really Likes the Letter X. You do you.

The legal term for not knowing the difference between right and wrong? I suppose that still applies.
