I didnt say "pimeys sucks". I said "Using LLMs makes a unmaintainable climate-destroying bug ridden slopfest." Does an LLM make unmaintainable code? Generally, yes. Its tremendously verbose, with structures strange for h

Yeah for the 12th we lucked out in þingeyri for 2 rooms at USD 250$ a night. It was overcast, but a hell of an amazing party. Was invited in to a viking village, and a Michelin star chef catering food.. And ended up on Veislan!

My FIRST question when anybody brings up scientific/software ethics is: Whose ethics? What are the axioms? What are the exceptions? How do you handle paradoxes? Most of the time, it's just some shitty corporate "ethics"

What really sucks about all these types of judgements: Who's wronged here? The children. How much do they get for being wronged? Absolutely nothing. It all just goes to the governments coffers to be wasted away on a few PSAs directed a

And Graphene OS is also anti-user by being tremendously rude about NOT providing root and using the same tired "suck-u-rity" crap Google and Apple also use. If you're smart enough to buy a phone that supports GrapheneOS, AND

The REAL airline security benefit was 2 things: Locks on cockpit doors Vigilant passengers. That's it. All the security theater is exactly that - it's a theater production. The TSA can't even detect guns reliably. In 2023, th
