    You never went to a programming competition in school? None of what was said is novel, it’s all been around forever, the tricky bit is the regurgitation software mucking everything…

    Drones and defense have nothing to do with expense. It is 100% about getting on the approved vendor list, at which point the prices go up. It’s not like PCB boards in the defense i…

    I’m absolutely on the record of being against nukes. Not really sure why you posed that personal attack, but it’s about as shitty a thing as you could say. You feel better?

    How’s this. I can tell you with absolute certainty the US has a lot of munitions, they have not run out. Let’s stop pretending that the only reason Iran isn’t glass at the moment i…

    Back in “the day” nerds just bought the hardware to fuck with. Some of us still do. Claiming that compute is the barrier to entry just means you’re not a nerd. That’s ok.

    If that is the load-bearing part, I failed to make my point.

    The joy of working with seasoned cast iron cannot be overstated. Heavy isn’t bad, we could all do with a bit of exercise. Easier to clean and maintain I disagree with, if you’re wi…

    I agree, it should not get brushed aside. Food insecurity is used as a mask for actual problems. It’s atrocious.

    It is very amusing to me that the outrage is with the car manufacturer, not the ad economy.

    I understand being mad, I also get mad. This is a bit unhinged.

    There is value in learning how to launch a model and develop an environment with which to interact with it. This understanding is basically a pillar of a “hacker” ethos. But if you…

    Objectively, the left has this very strong ideology of “education will fix everything, and until then we know what’s best for the masses” This went too far with the whole woke thin…

    It seems a little bit cherry-picked that you selected an article about people on food stamps and federal aid during a global pandemic, which saw absolutely massive amounts of peopl…
