The IAEA will be up your ass right now just for running a small nuclear reactor in your basement. WTF. Can't make your own power, it's illegal to grow your own tobacco, what's next? Sewage bills?!

So LLM profiteers have bought up all the consumer RAM for the next several years in order to deliver more of a service we're already oversaturated with that doesn't turn a profit..? I guess by then there'll be no consumers le

Or: Supply and demand oscillate in a delayed way based on each other. A quick increase or decrease in one side takes time to ripple, and by the time it does, the organization may have reversed course. An airline overbooks flights. Lots of p

Must be nice to be in the 10% of the population who are citizens. Apartheid labor so so sweet.

Right, but that's the double edged sword isn't it? If you pay them to do nothing, they have nothing to do. If my income is going to subsidize that, then they'd better literally do nothing as if doing nothing is their full-tim

Because if there's one thing billionaires should be scared of, it's billions of people suddenly becoming estranged from the economy. Having governments pump money into the consumer demand side becomes a no-brainer once you're

I agree with you. People need purpose. Ever owned a Border Collie and spent a couple days without giving it something to do? It's bad for the dog and dangerous to your home. So yeah, even if no one ever really enjoying being a gas stat

My mom did that too. She got an oil check and wiper fluid filled up, and gave a nice tip to the attendant. And that was in Los Angeles where there was definitely no weather-related reason to stay in your car. But my mom was old and I thin

I live in Oregon. Up until last year , you weren't allowed to pump your own gas in most parts of the state. The law required gas station attendants to do it, as a scheme to keep them employed. The most annoying part of this wasn'

The problem with all existing GUI coding system is that they make it really hard to make anything other than the types of things they were designed to make. You could do it, but you have to leave the path and get into the weeds of how the s

I think that's true. One caveat: If you're a solo coder like me, you almost never get to talk about implementation details with anyone who (a) understands or (b) gives a flying fuck. I'm more likely to have a meaningful convo

I hadn't seen it before either. I solved the branches in my head in a couple minutes, and my initial impulse was instinctively 4-4-4, but until you said trinary I didn't think of it in those terms.

Yea but then instead of being an architect and an engineer, you're basically just a customer.

Yeah, I'm this way. The best is when I have a job that gives me an opportunity to learn something new, or create a reason to learn something difficult along the way... but I'll try difficult things in my spare time for pleasure,

You're missing the whole point of IRAs. You said: >> well I would have paid tax anyway if I just saved it The point is that as long as your money is in the IRA you can earn interest or buy stocks, sell for a profit, over and over

Okay so I would find this useful if it would identify every weird case and then write a deterministic execution plan that covered all of them, that I could look at before running it. Like, show me every query in order I need to run to norma

I'm going through this. It's demoralizing. I want to spend weeks coding something cool. The idea of asking an AI to do it in 30 minutes is like... what's even the point. I know I can, so why bother. I'd rather go get a

Your next mission: code it yourself like they did in the 1970s.

God help me, somewhere around 2016 I started using some alpha version of Bootstrap 4, and I just keep using that same version for all the basic stuff underneath my own SCSS for whatever I'm building. It's absolutely fine. A lot of

Huh. I mean, that's interesting (that legacy media lobbied for the ban). So but Murdoch doesn't own Reddit, what's the upshot there? More links to Sky/Fox?

It would still be impressive if it wasn't vibe coded.

hah. As far as my girlfriend knows, it's dedicated only to cats and people behaving badly at Walmart. And here I just called it more intelligent, lol. I should qualify that. I've seen her instagram feed too, and somehow it's

okay but to maybe beat a dead horse, if you have these enormous cooling towers spewing out steam, is the steam coming out the top of those just not economically viable to use to run smaller generators or something?

Sorry but...uh, have you ever managed a production database with millions of users? Asking an AI to do something like normalize all the phone numbers would be completely trivial. Why don't people do it? Hmmmmm... [edit] What might be n

I'm not on social media. But reddit seems slightly more intelligent than tiktok, instagram, X. What's the real motive then, according to you?

Here's what I originally said, so you can tell me whether the parent poster's interpretation of my usage was accurate or not, and to what degree my usage of the term is a hill worth fighting on: Doomers are getting closer and clo
