You may have heard of it already, but Nim has existed in this space for some time.

More than half the country doesn't even require a license to carry anymore, and mentioning it in those states also doesn't typically warrant anything more than an "alright just don…

What's the difference between an American drone operator dropping a bomb on cartels in Mexico, and an American infantryman shooting at cartels in Mexico?

Many entrepreneurial types will just market the shit out of unmaintainable messes fast enough to IPO so they can get their bag all the same.

That's one way to spin it. The other is that good quality things have become so low-demand and expensive due to barely-passable-quality things becoming so cheap, that people buying…

It's frustrating that vibecoding has gotten so pervasive that it's impossible to tell when someone uses LLMs as an awareness-increaser and research assistant, rather than an unrevi…

It fixes it at face value, for now. The long-term effects of corporate nearsightedness might be too great to absorb this time around.

Yeah, the economy wants a dystopia, so we're just gonna have to let that happen industry by industry, calling each group that is exploited for maximal corporate gain a neo-luddite.…

At least the sheer stupidity of bots is understandable. It's arguably the real users that are worse...

It can be Lisp if you want it to be. Just use Fennel. That's what my Hyprland config is written in.

> GrapheneOS is stellar and until next year, getting a Pixel is the only way to run it. I'm hoping the Moto GrapheneOS phones will be solid. They will be my new primary option if s…

As far as I'm aware, you get marginal FPS gains switching kernels. It helps some. It's just a matter of whether the effort is worth it to you. The main change is the scheduler: rat…

And, in my time in scouts, they did a poor job of demonstrating the actual use cases for the knots in a practical manner. If I had seen how many situations knots come in handy for,…

Taut line is great, but I'm finding the Farrimond friction hitch is much more secure, and is already on a bite for quick release as an added bonus.

There can be a lot to gain from the graphics and audio, depending on the topic.

> the free investor money does run out I've been saying the same thing, but that's why they made the move to IPO, no?

Yeah the Mormons in Utah are of a much more vapid culture than those from out of state, I can say from experience. All of the out-of-stater Mormons I've met that were here for BYU …

Proprietary stochastic compilers. Hooray.

They're finally applying their 2A strategy to the 1A.

I wouldn't say it's random. But I do like referring to them as statistical code generators.

The assumption used to be that you respected the library enough and believed it was well reviewed and architected by the maintainer(s). But now even that's unreliable because libra…

Can we stop calling it AI and making it sound cooler than it really is: a lossily-compressed text lookup DB?

There's a lot to appreciate about the middle ages. It wasn't all bad.

> To be clear, I am not claiming that all human work will be automated away soon. Just that a huge portion of it will be. You don't even need to be a believer in the technology to …

> YMMV but I think if you use the tool as a more expressive Google search it can be a great companion. I get the most mileage out of this as well. It's the middle ground option. Ev…
