IoT and clean comms do. Yes random small arms make quite a difference in many scenarios. I can say this with zero commentary on whether one feels society broadly should have more guns.

Thx for posting the USAID article. The brazenness of it all is astonishing. Thank God for the incompetence. It's like we're doing "Clown Show Mussolini".

I'm just pulling stuff out of my butt here but is this an area where an fpga might be worth it for a particular type of model?

I'm not beating up on OP but I chuckled when I read the question. Literally the only place I see the phrase "no fluff" with any frequency is with Deepseek lol. Nothing wrong with the phrase itself of course, other than the fa

I'll admit that my early morning eyes saw "CYA". Which I'll admit had me scratching my head...

VBScript is a word I hadn't heard in quite a while! Brings back memories of editing 5k line .asp files to find an if statement and then a 1000 lines of html and such. Sadly, I dont' think web development is actual better 20+ years

Recently became big Ada fanboy, ironic because Im far more a fan of minimal, succinct syntax like lisp, forth, etc and I actually successfully lobbied a professor in 1993 to _not_ use it in an undergrad software engineering class lol. Still

Great writeup! And as someone less knowledgeable about biological sciences than others, I think learned even more from your disclaimers! p.s. If you know any good sources for adults to catch up on some biology basics, let me know.

I'm not disputing this but I'm not sure if I understand what it is they're doing or why but am curious.

This might be the last of the weed talking but that's rich. I'm gonna have to chew on that. And maybe even crack the WCAG docs. Wait... It's a trap...

Ngl, totally envious of a log cabin lifestyle. I dated a girl who was a project manager for high end homes in SF. What hit me as sad was that a long list of things that are now ultra luxury were basically attainable by any hunter gatherer -

That's too funny. Having just looked, the resemblance is totally there.

Meanwhile, he's done deeper analysis than anyone else I've seen on financial statements and actual costs from AI for the large players and I absolutely don't think he's wrong. Unfortunately, this seems to strike a chord
