More than once a week not quite once a day. Rather than trying to diminish something that's completely preventable and abhorrent maybe we could discuss ways to actually prevent it. Because this isn't a problem anywhere else so cle

Does the author not know what a "leaky abstraction" is? The first time they referred to memory leaks I thought is a clever joke nested in a jab a hypothetical coder who didn't know, but then in the end they double down in a c

Constrained and minimized trust in programmer diligence is better than unconstrained and omnipresent trust in the same.

His response is likely something like "I am hourly contractor, I have howevermuch time time they want", or something with the same no long gives a shit energy. But their manager likely believes that deeper fixes aren't possib

He didn't say it implemented any instructions, I would argue that the memory ordering is quite important and part of why other CPU architectures can sometimes be faster or more efficient than x86, it takes effort to guarantee atomicity

Do please note that I never said all Christians. But the label Christian does include you and tens of millions of people who think that the universe is 5,000 years old and that at some point in Real History there was a talking snake and fru

> Equally binding a view of mental health to religion seems a stretch. Perhaps you have experienced that, but I suspect that connection is not universal. I am saying that in the US the stigma against taking mental health seriously is str

And I started with "As you say we do need better advocacy and more transparency in difficult situations" and I agree with that. I just want religion left out of such topics, because it makes everything worse.

I suspect some math is in order. A big truck can move a lot of carbon and I suspect there is some range within transport makes sense. edit - To clarify if a big diesel truck puts X CO2 into the air to move Y tons of CO2 some distance then c

Alex Jones commonly tries to claim that raising atmospheric CO2 is unambiguously good because it increases plant growth. He then lies about solar, wind, and nuclear, while claiming coal and oil are harmless. There are real pros and cons to

Not likely in any appreciable way like the conspiracy theorists are putting forward. I bet if you had lab controlled environments you could find some optimal level of CO2 for it to grow in if you could guarantee no pests or competitors. But

A while ago someone posted an article about stacking and freezing farmed biomass. They wanted to sequester CO2 from whatever random stuff that could be farmed cheap and frozen in the winter by hosing it down and running pipes through it the

I have paid for two gigabit connections and I sometimes saturate them for days at time. Doesn't cost that much. If I am not to use it like that then it should say clearly on the paperwork that I have data limits, and I don't have

I don't think you're logic follows that we need a lot of people suffering to get a few people to be excellent. If people with a true and deep passion follow a thing I think they have a significant chance of becoming excellent at i

You're looking at this in a very American Centric way, a lot of other countries figure out how medicines for very low costs. When that happens the numbers change a lot.

I don't think that's what they were advocating, the way I read it they were saying that people should spend that money on themselves and neglected the idea of people who couldn't afford it. But yeah if the idea is for the gov

By this logic anything that involves money ever is a for-profit venture, that clearly isn't the case.

I know I'm not the first to say this, but I think what's going on is that these AI things can produce results that are very mid. A sort of extra medium. Experts beat modern LLMs but modern llms are better than a gap. If you just n

Are you claiming there is no Niche to making commodities? I haven't really considered it I could see an argument being made either way. Or are you saying that it's a product these API based llms are just not going to be how we use

We have seen more than 100 other countries nationalize healthcare and seen it work well. Arguing against it is silly, bordering on irrational. Capitalism simply doesn't work in an environment where one side has infinite leverage.

The first mover advantage isn't as big an advantage as being the one to monopolize a commodity. While there are some historical advantages to first mover's doing this, it is the common case. I also think that is very nearly a winn
