I don't fall in the ring category, but I will be voting Democrat for the first time. That's how bad this is getting for me. I have real reasons to hate the Democrats as a party, bu…

What does winning them over look like? Are the Taiwanese supposed to come to the CCP with open arms?

Go was never simple in action. The fact that you'd panic a nil map but not a nil slice is a foot gun. It's a pretty big foot gun. It's just one of the many foot guns.

I presume that was a Stargate reference. Zero Point Module, often abbreviated ZPM, is a power source, created by the Ancients, capable of supplying tremendous amounts of energy. It…

You might be surprised. I've had an AI start spitting out none functioning python code. I've rewritten it with Go. The requirements are that every change has to pass compilation, l…

Eventually. I'm a bit concerned about it right now. I think SpaceX showed that the AI story is weaker than promoted. This will make people wonder about all the money going into it.…

Part of the market issues this week are Korea imploding and Japan about to implode. Japan's bond rate moving up could mean the end of the carry trade. Korea apparently has many sto…

I'm all for that. Start to add tools as the brain can work.

Maybe it would help remove useless and harmful tech from schools. Books don't need batteries.

I'm. Lt sure why this is down voted. ICE showed up at a woman's door trying to force her to take down a benign social media post. What is stopping similar authoritarians from crack…

That is the power of AI.

Did we just start adding this chemical in the ast five years? I can think of any other widespread roll out of a new technology in the same period.

I thought the world was agentic vibe coding. No idea needed. If this world materialized, then there would be no need for an IDE.

I've been assuming this for a while. If I have a complex feature, I use Opus 4.6 in copilot to plan (3 units of my monthly limit). Then have Grok or Gemini (.25-.33) of my monthly …

Won't the thing that replaces 4.6 come down in token cost?

Let's be honest here: there is no benefit to alcohol (for example wine) and is only detrimental. As a true French person who does want the government paying for "stupid shit" you n…

I think it depends on your philosophical approach to agency or personas. Unix groups allowed individuals to share directories with various levels of access. The assumption was thos…

That the US and by extension the West is ruled by corrupt individuals that knowingly harm their fellow citizens. However, especially the US, few people will parent their children i…

That could be at least part of it. My understanding as to why gold dropped is that many countries essentially got market called. The Oil countries don't have cash reserves without …

Not even defenses. How is RTX down?

The United States is current getting the base material for its entire economy from a country that is openly at war with it: China. If the US attacked East Tiawan because East Tiawa…

I'm saying the spec lost to Spring. There are many historical reasons for the loss, but Spring won. It looks like the industry is moving away from architectures like EE. The desire…

Spring won. Why would anyone want to learn the standard aside from it being a standard that few people use? Spring itself is a wildly adopted standard. It is a semi open standard i…

I think the community is split on such things. I ended up telling the side that gets persnickety about short names and only using if statements in tests to pound sand. I use things…

So any day ending in y for the US Congress?
