If you read books from the early 1900s (Radium Girls, Rocket Boys, Seabiscuit), it's painfully obvious to see how incredibly exploitative industries can become (literally working people to death) without something like a union to check

All I know is, when I run `python3 ai_script.py`, it's much slower if I invoke that command on my Ryzen 7 desktop PC vs. my i7 laptop. I briefly profiled it once, and it seemed like `skimage.measure.label` ran much slower on AMD.

Why doesn't Nintendo's lawyer army go after Dolphin when it went so aggressively after Yuzu? Is it just because Gamecube/Wii are EoL'd so they don't care as much (vs. Switch which is still actively supported and sel

Interface-heavy languages break IDEs. In .NET at least, "go to definition" jumps you to the interface definition which you probably aren't interested in (vs. the specific implementation you are trying to dig into). Also wit

For me LLMs are like programming power tools. Use them wrong and you can hurt yourself. Use them right and you can accomplish far more in the same amount of time. People that refuse to program with AI or intellisense or any other assistance

USA can't tax non-citizens. Revoke citizenship if you really don't want to pay. That comes with a lot of downsides though (no more US passport, no getting rescued by the US if you wander into North Korea, etc), which implies the t
