    I love this stuff. Like the one definition of death being an organism dying is one that starts failing to maintain itself. Maintenance being the essence of being alive. Or in other…

    On a sidenote, what's up with people still using Ayn Rand references in their company names. It's cringe.

    Nothing on that page says how they will actually do it. What is their method except "using AI"? And why has this over 750 upvotes? Meaningless AI company hype spam like this is exa…

    It plays well into the Amiga fanbase mythology that Commodore and especially the Amiga shoud have been THE personal computer of the masses, not the IBM compatible x86 machines. But…

    Which is in part the fault of the industry itself! There's a high degree of arrogance in German management. Especially when it comes to China. The German car industry's refusal to …

    Exactly! All routine maintance in Russian oil refineries are currently on hold indefinitely. Suddenly the Russians are capable of being more lenient.

    Ukraine would have blown up the pipeline anyway. And the land pipelines would have been cut off to Germany by the Eastern Europeans. So no, the gas would not still be flowing with …

    That was never considered by anyone in German politics. It's the first time I'm hearing about this here in these posts.

    That's totally fine with me. Each time it's an opportunity to be happy and proud.

    No need to insult me. Or make unbased assumptions about me.

    I was talking about the metrics on HN you are talking about how AI improved you life (or didn't). Two different things in my opinion. I'm using AI myself btw. This isn't the point.…

    Regulatory capture. They are the hyperscalers who invested and still invest heavily in hard tech, like data centers. They need regulation of "uncontrolled" AI models, so that Joe S…

    It's the metrics though. I've noticed that AI topics get hundreds of votes, that means either someone is trying to beat the algorithm to stay in the top news, or suddenly this plac…

    I think that personal account was not written by a human. In the literal sense. And it's not the em dashes (all of the blog's posts are full of them). It's exhaustive writing, some…

    At least I hope they leave the corporate culture baggage that has ruined the German car industry behind and do not transplant it into other companies. In which you stick to your ol…

    HPPD like fizzling noise is very distracting. I like it.

    The title is misleading. 3-MMC differs from Cocaine in that it doesn't turn you into an egomaniac asshole, which is due to its acting on the Serotonin receptors.

    Geothermal and storage is worth investing in, investing in nuclear is not. NPPs are simply too expensive and you won't find investors unless you heavily subsidize it with tax money…

    Electricity costs by nuclear power is heavily subsidized by tax money in France, so the French are paying the higher costs anyway. Just saying. Maybe there's a technical solution i…

    Not true at all. It's both in France and increasingly because the rivers run dry in the summer. Besides killing rivers for electricity and for "saving CO2" is as stupid as burning …
