75w is nuts actually. I measured my _desktop_ setup about 10 years ago including two monitors and idle was around 35w. It also doesn't make sense to include idle of all peripherals…

There's probably a decent chance that training an LLM produces more carbon than producing stranger things

Enshitification, I've been using Gmail for decades and it was significantly faster and more responsive in the past. It still works fine tbh, but it did work better. Whether or not …

I left when they decided to lay people off and use AI as translators and to make lessons.

I've had far more Ubuntu distro upgrades break than succeed, and often without solutions online other than reinstall. Haven't had that issue with Arch since 2011. I use Ubuntu for …

I mean, they probably don't need their feet to continue making money and selling things online. IBM still makes money after all

I agree authors should be listed, but I disagree that this is odd. Especially in a time where points from scientific consensus are considered biased political points, it's the norm…

Lol 9 years is vintage is lol

I personally find && and || easier to read than "and" and "or" because instead of using words to separate words, it's symbols separating words. Sure syntax highlighting helps, but …

What if I want to use a cuck license?

The Starbucks lids are awesome, we should use them everywhere

And what I'm saying is, you have absolutely no evidence or way to prove that. I'm not saying it's not possible, but I am saying it has as much scientific evidence as spontaneous ge…

The answer provided to the hard question doesn't answer the hard question. There is no reason we're aware of that a ton of computations should lead to a subjective experience, it's…

Thank you for these, I just subscribed to most of them

Security?

Constant growth is not the same as infinite growth. Constant growth is the state of the economy now, believing in infinite growth is believing it can continue this way forever

So you think smart, productive people's time is infinite? People require resources to live

Why do people believe this? The earth has limited resources

Unfortunately, recessions tend to shift wealth up even more these days, partially because of government bailouts, but also because of stock puts and shorting

There are like two Apple M chips, is that something official or internally leaked?

Turns out I'm the one who forgot what memory safety is o.o I think the part that makes rust's memory safety special is that it also lacks garbage collection

I'm an embedded developer, and for me it's the opposite. Not saying everyone is like me, just saying not everyone is like you. I find regular software development to provide more i…

Wouldn't this be a nearly identical call, but specifying the add trait? I'm still learning so I'm not sure if I'm missing something

I'm not sure if you understand what safe means in this context. One common example is modifying a vector element by reference. If you grab a reference to an item, push something el…
