So are you saying Germany achieved a greater reduction due to shutting down nuclear than they would have otherwise? If not, your argument is moot.

The sun doesn't shine half the time, wind is random, and long-term storage is a pipe dream.

Clever plan! 1. Get rich from cheap coal 2. Pull up the ladder behind you I'm sure everyone will comply.

> They can spin up and down Nope. Every moment that hardware is not ran is wasted money that could have been used to buy something else that's actually productive. Secondary effects like depreciation make this phenomenom even strong

Your second paragraph invalidates your first. If I need to be a domain expert anyway, the value of the tool goes down by orders of magnitude. Same if I need to first break the task down into pieces and keep reviewing all the output. That so

I'd say excessive prudishness is even more normalized, as you're clearly displaying here. Oh no, somebody said "fuck", my delicate snowflake sensibilities can't take it! How proper you are.

"Very little" is relative to the problem space, it's not an absolute amount that must fit your idea of "very little".

C++ templates and Go generics are very much not the same thing.

I don't know how you're reading the quotes you provide, they seem to directly contradict what you're saying.

You miss the point by a mile. It's not about the sheer number of code you have. It's very easy to just add random stuff and bloat your stdlib, like e.g. Python has done. You want the right amount of the right libraries that ar

Could you explain how you chose the 8GB number? Would you still have used 8GB as the baseline 10 years ago? 20? 30? No? Then at what point would say 16GB will become acceptable? What reasoning are you using to figure out what exact amount o

At some point, you'll end up paying more in electricity than you would save by not buying new hardware. The power efficiency gains are real.

FYI, json/v2 just dropped: https://go.dev/doc/go1.27#jsonv2 and log/slog has been a thing since 1.21: https://go.dev/doc/go1.21#slog > a lot of the Go standard library is also extreme

It's standard human bias — a plane falling out of the sky with 200 people on it once a year is a major catastrophe we all know about within hours, but 40_000 people dying per year in road accidents is just a statistic. Besides, driving

Whether 25,000 pounds of mass hitting something at 500mph also explodes or not is irrelevant. Also, I'm not so sure the passengers involved would be thrilled at your suggestion.

Okay, so use the same methodology to find a new, unknown bug? That'd be actually impressive. As-is, this is just 20/20 hindsight with concerns about leading the AI on through the prompt hand-waved away. Come on.

I like how for example if I say contractors can be bad or even awful at their jobs and we'll all nod and agree, but to merely suggest a doctor or someone with a PHD may be, it's blasphemy.
