It doesn’t. You’re not entering anything with an LLM.

I mean, kinda, but also: not only are someone’s meandering ramblings a part of a process that leads to less meandering ramblings, they’re also infinitely more interesting than LLM slop.

I hate when people hijack progressive language - like in your case the language of accessibility - for cheap marketing and hype. Writing is one of the most accessible forms of expression. We were living in a world where even publishing was

Hear me out: Containers. Or even just go full VM. AFAIK we have all the pieces to make those approaches work _just fine_ - GPU virtualization, ways to dynamically share memory etc. It's a bit nuts, sure, and a bit wasteful - but it&#x2

Fascinating. And what in the world compelled you to announce your short attention span to the world?

RealPlayer was 1995, so a few years later, and arguably was a start of the trend of enshittification. Flash videos was around the times things really got bad. That does mean we go, essentially: Step 1: We barely have video at all. Step 2: E

Because that’s the real top spot. It doesn’t take a lot of effort to realize there are many drawbacks to cashless.

The channel was already open, right there in the thread. There was nothing to win by going private before maybe being bullied into backing down.

Anything has an "psychological effect," and tricking a person into thinking any old junk is "better than therapy" is trivial - look at all the people who spend time and money on AI chatbots. It's also pretty clear i

The amazing thing about Turbo Pascal was that my memory was better, my focus was better, I could stay up much longer and my right knee didn’t hurt. Edit: I think there is a lot of “do it because we can do it not because we benefit from it”

If by impact you mean “turn off people from the movement” then sure. I happen to know multiple people who either met or even hosted him, and not a single one of them was impressed. Stallman was a horrible promoter.

That’s a silly framing. Without actual human actors? Considerably fewer. Something around zero I’d say.

I mean, hey, maybe they _will_ increase all those 10x programmer's bills to 20k per month. At least that would be funny.

Yeah. I just ran Goblin Cleanup, Mars First Logistics and Peak on a Framework 12 - that’s an intel integrated gpu. They all ran fine. Just a solid reminder that you can actually make a fun and good looking game without asking the player to

> Do you think companies using node don't analyze supply chains? I _know_ many don’t. In fact suggesting doing it is a good way to be looked at like a crazy person and be told something like “this is a yes place not a no place.”

The subject is pretty exhausted. The reason I post "it's bad" because, honestly, expending on it just feels like a waste of time and energy. The point is demonstrating that this _isn't_ a consensus, and not much more tha
