That's your big plan? Lol. Stop fucking lecturing me if you don't have any ideas. Sick of this kind of shit.

There's really no comparison. I use both languages extensively and JavaScript is by far the quirkier language.

Well I don't know _what_ to do! I think if people knew the truth it would help but anti-intellectualism has taken hold and backlash effects are real, and talking heads have spent decades poisoning the well. If we can't agree that

Even now when things have gone so far off the rails, the average American knows basically nothing about what's going on. There's a ton of information but no reliable way to split it from misinformation, so people just glom on to w

I'd use it if I could get through a 5 hour session without exhaustion my usage limit.

It sure is! I have an EV myself and it's way better than any ICE vehicle I've ever driven.

Uh huh and that's why people offered to buy their cars back and instead of selling them back GM destroyed them? Because they weren't viable?

Really? California represents the entirety of the US's technology R&D capacity? Ironic that I'm supposed to read that as an indictment of California's governance...

Lol. If he included everything you'd claim he needs to sound honest you'd criticize him for being long winded instead.

You right. 50 years or so. I was trying going back far enough to include the discovery of man-made climate change and not necessarily starting right at the plugging our ears portion of the timeline. Regarding the nuclear FUD, I'm not b

I agree the US isn't the only country but I believe at that time we had the resources and clout to make green energy research happen everywhere and export our successes. We were still a global leader at the time both politically and te

To be totally clear, I'm not trying to absolve Americans of our responsibility. Americans are remarkably stupid and basically feral (I'm obviously exaggerating but that's how it feels living here). I have had shocking convers

I try to explain this on every post that complains about software reinventors. Why should people from the 60s and 70s get to have all the fun? So far my efforts have been in vain.

Definitely true. But you see the blame placed on the public fearing nuclear from these events. There was some fear, but also astroturfing to make sure nuclear stayed dead.

by DangitBobby 1mo ago
Nuclear was also kneecapped by FUD and astroturfing, and we didn't properly fund renewables because Republican administrations were in the pockets of big oil. Did you know GM made a fully viable electric car that people loved back in t

It really was very achievable, the main reason we didn't was we had a bunch of people spreading lies about it for 100 years or so.

It literally says state spending. Federal and state funding don't have the same effects on costs, and they don't go to the same things or the same people. If you check out the graphs in the articles below you'll see without m

The article has inaccuracies on "falsehoods". Bernie Sanders didn't claim "all government spending" for college education went down, as the "falsehood" frames it (you'll notice no attempt to quote whe

It doesn't need to be a serious offense. The current playbook works fine. Anything the Constitution prevents you from doing, have a private company do it for you. In this case you lean on, pay, or give preference to private companies t

I don't typically decide things on the basis of whether it's a trillion dollar company. If it were a blog post about puppy slaughter I wouldn't be defending it.

They still want you to hit the cache because their margin is higher on cache hits. That's actual compute they don't have to pay for and they don't have to have capacity for because they are supply limited on the compute side.

by DangitBobby 1mo ago
Because they sell subscriptions and tokens cost them compute, and their margin lives in the difference between what your subscription pays in and what you cost them in compute. They have also been supply constrained on compute and if users
