Rule 3 gets me into trouble with CS majors a lot. I'm an EE by education and entered into SW via the bottom floor(embedded C/ASM) so it was late in my career before I knew the formal definition of big-O and complexity. For most of

This is the sort of pontifical statement that old guys like me tend to make which is strictly wrong but also contains a lot of wisdom. Yes, software is bloated, full of useless abstractions and bad design. You kids(well, anyone programming

Stupid question but are the satellite down links encrypted or no? If not, why not just receive the data directly from the satellites?

This is a very common view among people who have grown up in the west. Some form of "people are inherently good, governments will spontaneously form and will be altruistic unless a bad minority does otherwise." It's strange b

> while spending zero effort Why do you think it took such little effort? Is it simply utilizing an emulation/portability package like Proton?

After my mom kicked me out I went to live with my grandparents. They bought me a c-128d and a 1200 baud modem. Little did they know I had no concept of hourly connection fees or phone billing. It was amazing until they got the first $200 bi

I have such strong nostalgia for that era, but man, every time I try to go back and experience a BBS like this is just feels so empty. There really isn't a way to experience the feelings back then. I admire them for keeping it alive,

The Osprey killed a lot of Marines over the past decades. It took a while to work out the issues. Hopefully we will remember what the Osprey taught us.

I don't think oil works like that. Infra takes a long time to reroute, especially in war time. Exports are nearly all of Iran's economy. They can't turn it off or they starve.

I ain't reading all that, but if you're referring to the strike on the oil storage facility in Tehran, AFAICT that's not for export. It's local consumption. We haven't, to my knowledge, hit oil exports yet.

Some countries are more prepared than others. Vietnam, who now handles a lot of mfg moved from China, has reserves measured in days. Yes, some countries have a couple months. I don't know the stats for nat gas though, and that could be

Nah. So far we haven't hit Iran's oil export infrastructure. If China makes a serious move we blow it up. We can also close the straight ourselves and claim it's for protection.

Pipelines, the Jones Act and CA blend requirements prevent CA from getting much gas from other states.

And that's cool but your experience is not what the market is trading. The vibe is that vibe-coding will come together in the next few years and SW margins will be hit. That doesn't mean it's the reality, just that it is what

AI is killing the notion that SW companies are infinite money printing machines. The idea is that someday soon(in the next 5-10 years as markets are forward looking), someone will vibe-code a replacement for Photoshop/TurboTax/Off

Oregon ticks most of those boxes except the difference is that Oregon has very few jobs. People flock to WA because of jobs created by long-standing business friendly policies. That doesn't explain everything, obviously, but I think yo

I initially supported this comment but no, I think it's worse than this. As rich countries cut back, dirty energy becomes cheaper and developing nations just use more. They'll need to use more just to fight the climate. India, for

What about solar shades? Seems like a relatively quick and easy way to regulate solar input. It's nice too because you can quickly remove it if necessary.

CA buying gasoline from Bermuda, shipped via the Panama Canal, because it refuses to allow new refineries is the perfect demonstration of this.

Nvidia could flip a switch and start competing with former customers. They have the talent, the models, the HW, and they know how to quickly build out DCs.

Having recently considered playing Dwarf Fortress(and quickly rejecting it for UI issues and overall tediousness), it seemed like a game that would benefit from an LLM backend. I'm curious what sorts of world history an LLM could come

The recipe at the end sounds a lot like the crepes I'd make in college. It was pre-WWW and I had no idea what I was doing but it seemed to work. The one thing I had going for me in college was a Costco membership. 25lb bags of flour, g

We already have traditional CV algorithms and control systems that can reliably power autonomous weapons systems and they are more deterministic and reliable than "AI" or LLMs.

Weird, I was just looking into something like this yesterday. I really want a touchscreen though. It would be 100x more useful if I could put up a daily checklist that didn't require using a separate device to clear the checkmarks.

Yeah, GPUdirect should allow you to dma straight to a storage device. I wonder... what if the m.2 storage was actually DRAM? You probably don't need persistence for spilling a model off the GPU. How would it fare vs just adding more h

Well, the good news for Trump and other elites is that we will all take a day off from discussing the Epstein files and wondering - why no one in America is being charged - why the files were so heavily redacted in violation of congress - w
