That doesn't make any sense. Yegge named it Gas Town as in "refinery" because the main job for the human at this stage is reviewing the generated code and merging. " The whole point of the project is to be in control. Ye

Meshtastic + budget kit ($10-$35) is way better. BlueTooth alone is kind of useless. It's max ~100 meters/yards vs 2-20 km (12 miles). And the community is great.

The "aliens" are just spiders. With a lot of magical thinking. It's more like fantasy than science fiction. And character development is terrible. Only one or two are interesting and they get killed too early. I can take SciF

I have a much better solution: make a mission to tell everybody around you to stop consuming and stop frying their brains. But be mindful they are addicts so they will say you are mean, ugly, stupid, boring, etc. Keep at it and don't n

I can only speak for myself. If the news article has anything to do with tech and things "interesting to hackers", I upvote. For example, the article about Palantir and ICE yesterday [1]. But articles like this one have nothing in

Most of my deep friendships were through friends and family. A handful at work/school. And it is the same way for most people I know. But I'm not American, so that's that.

In a thread last year a Palantir employee said most of them were either Indian, East Asians, or laid off and/or unemployable White males. Good luck guilt-tripping any of them. Note: I'm not American, nor White/WASP, nor Asian

In 2011 the Greens won key conservative regions with their Fukushima fearmongering and outright lies (see GP comment). They drove massive anti-nuclear protests. And with all this they forced Merkel to u-turn on nuclear or she would lose pow
