We could also fit more people in if you crushed everyone, dehydrated them and stored they remains in huge compressed cubes. Efficiency is not all we want

The actual cost is going to drop 99% in ~4 years.

And fusion power is just 2 decades into the future!

So many China shills running interference and whataboutism...

"Hey guys, good news! You will all be made redundant by AI and we, some intellectual elite who somehow think we're not going to be affected by AI think you're going to be happy about it!"

Today it's Trump, yesterday it was something else. Tomorrow it'll be a third thing.

We've had this discourse happen again and again over the last... Christ, 20 years fuck me.

At some point people have to start realizing "oh wait, maybe the current situation isn't unique and people have felt like this since forever".

No, it works not worse, but better.

"Is it me who is wrong? No, it's everyone else!"

I really want to like Ruby; it's my Smalltalk-lite for small projects, because it's easier to run and get going than spinning up VMs. However, it's retarded shit like this drama that makes me move away from languages.

I found that the drivers I had were no longer compatible with the newer kernels. After upgrading to newer drivers it was able to offload again.

Well, for a time greek city states did fight pretty much like this. Small armies of hoplites were raised outside harvest season, went out, fought almost show-battles with very few casualties, and tribute changed hands based on the results. Everyone went home for the harvest.

This is a view held by a small group, but is in no way the accepted view of it for historians. See the link for a blogpost of a military historian talking about the orthodox and heterodox schools of thought on this.

Absolute insanity

Totally! I'm sick of not being able to see what tools they use. In fact, I feel that we should also start tagging devs that use an IDE instead of properly coding games in notepad.

I'll have to try projects I guess, but I just want to sometimes ask questions without it bringing up shit I asked about in the past which isn't relevant to what I'm asking this time.

In online Claude I often use incognito mode precisely because I don't want results to be influenced by what we talked about earlier. It's getting rather annoying to be honest.

POSIWID

While I'm on the fence about LLMs there's something funny about seeing an industry of technologists tear their own hair out about how technology is destroying their jobs. We're the industry of "we'll automate your job away". Why are we so indignant when we do it to ourselves...

Still a vacuum so the same heat dissipation issues, adding to it that the lunar dust makes solar panels less usable, and the lunar surface on the solar side gets really hot.

My concern isn't really clarity of intention, but that 'allowlisting' just doesn't flow as well when reading as whitelisting does.

Not entirely related to the content but man 'allowlisting' reads so badly. We should just out of ease of reading return to whitelisting.

"I disagree with this point of view so it's objectively wrong"

It's the same kind of bad line of argumentation we disputed for decades with banning piracy (implicit assumption that every pirated copy was a sale lost).

In 2026, at 18y minimum wage is €7.36 per hour and at 21y it rockets up to €14.71

And the average house price just went past half a million. Even cheap housing is north of 350K. You can't save up against yearly price increases.

Indeed. I also hope we stop using all of these "high-level" languages. So much overhead just so people don't have to learn how to write proper optimized machine code. It's super-trivial to write a website directly in that too, and it only takes a bit longer, but it is almost twice as fast.

Please god no.

"My god, a slight hyperbole! Let me run over to my jewelry box and get some pearls to clutch!"

I’ve never seen such incompetence in the tech industry, so perhaps that’s why I was so naive.

How

INdeed. The entire point of Chuckie's "If you're still here in 20 years I'll kill you" was just that.

"Mr Bin Laden was just a bit of a free spirit, until the Americans decided to kill him in the middle of the night"

Yeah I don't think anyone thinks this was a good program, but saying someone performing acts of terrorism is just 'a free spirit' is a bit... BBC of them.

MVC is not .NET of course.
