That's one way to spin it. The other is that good quality things have become so low-demand and expensive due to barely-passable-quality things becoming so cheap, that people buying good quality things is now ironically more uneconomica

It's frustrating that vibecoding has gotten so pervasive that it's impossible to tell when someone uses LLMs as an awareness-increaser and research assistant, rather than an unreviewable code vomiter. I still appreciate the design

It fixes it at face value, for now. The long-term effects of corporate nearsightedness might be too great to absorb this time around.

Yeah, the economy wants a dystopia, so we're just gonna have to let that happen industry by industry, calling each group that is exploited for maximal corporate gain a neo-luddite. Inevitability and whatnot. Hell, we're gonna die

At least the sheer stupidity of bots is understandable. It's arguably the real users that are worse...

It can be Lisp if you want it to be. Just use Fennel. That's what my Hyprland config is written in.

As far as I'm aware, you get marginal FPS gains switching kernels. It helps some. It's just a matter of whether the effort is worth it to you. The main change is the scheduler: rather than trying to evenly distribute CPU time to p

And, in my time in scouts, they did a poor job of demonstrating the actual use cases for the knots in a practical manner. If I had seen how many situations knots come in handy for, I'd have memorized them much more intently.

Taut line is great, but I'm finding the Farrimond friction hitch is much more secure, and is already on a bite for quick release as an added bonus.

Yeah the Mormons in Utah are of a much more vapid culture than those from out of state, I can say from experience. All of the out-of-stater Mormons I've met that were here for BYU and such, they all said they can't stand the peopl

I wouldn't say it's random. But I do like referring to them as statistical code generators.

The assumption used to be that you respected the library enough and believed it was well reviewed and architected by the maintainer(s). But now even that's unreliable because libraries are being slopified at an unreviewable pace too.

Can we stop calling it AI and making it sound cooler than it really is: a lossily-compressed text lookup DB?
