I have an Xbox with this dash.

It belonged to my girlfriend and was never updated. It’s an interesting time capsule.

Witch trials were more a 1400-1700s deal.

I learned this when I took a class in university 13 years ago. I got a b- so keep that in mind.

I’m sure the people who have them love harvesting data for AI training since that’s what they are clearly for.

I’m see you got hung up on the glib remark at the end and chose to miss the point entirely.

There are tons of reasons to oppose these datacenters that don’t rely on ‘contested’ Science.

So the real question I guess is why you chose to avoid the actual point and support AI datacenters.

Plenty of reasons not to have these that don’t sound like 5g is turning the frogs gay or whatever.

Years of eroding the education system coupled with social media means that this is a dwindling population.

The big tech layoffs and the fear of AI driving down wages has actually caused hacker News to shift a bit left recently.

I’m of two minds on this.

In some respects people are learning new things everyday and your take is correct.

On the other hand it’s so incredibly easy to highlight some text and click search that it it shows a profound lack of curiosity and a lot of laziness.

There is very likely some sort of energy grant that they are going to get to ‘research’

He got 7 million to do this job. He’ll probably do a half ass job and spend half (if that) to do the actual work.

In 2 months people will forget about this and that dude can basically retire.

Look up how much corn gets used for ethanol.

Then look up how much of the soybean harvest is shipped overseas (before Trump ruined the markets)

Farmers / ranchers are the true welfare queens.

Here in Canada they get vinyl wrapped pretty quick to help protect from the salt.

As such they are pretty identifiable. There’s about 3 in my neighborhood I see from time to time.

I actually thought they were interesting looking when they first pitched them. Would never buy one now though for all obvious reasons.

For a ton of people it is theater.

ICE isn’t showing up in their neighborhood or at their work place. Their only experience with that shit is on the news or tiktok and it’s in a state they don’t live in and have never been to.

They actually love brown people. They want their cheap labor and this stuff keeps people afraid and makes them keep their head down. It has the added benefit that they get to parade it around to their electorate like ‘something is being done’

It’s theater to keep poor white people in fly over states from realizing that the people in power are the ones selling them out and have been the entire time.

To each their own but ours didn’t really require more than an hour a month at most. It’s not running on cutting Edge hardware but chugs along pretty dependably. The back ups probably take the most time but even then ansible does most of the work and we bump the omnibus version once a month in off hours without issue.

It’s reliability was already not super great before the vibe coding hit.

It’s mostly caused by them trying to migrate complicated legacy systems to azure. This type of work is already fraught with danger.

The vibe code just supercharges an already risky endeavor. The LLM code could be perfectly correct but the more dynamic a complicated system the more difficult it becomes to judge side effects of any one change.

The speed of change also means that experts in particular areas of the code base may find their mental model of the system to be out of date and incorrect faster than ever before. This is course also leads to the increased chance of mistakes or unintended side effects.

I mean there are tons of options in that space so if it’s an issue that is sorta on your business to have evaluated their dependency.

We work on an internal gitlab instance that has had 100 percent up time for like 2 years. It doesn’t even have to be gitlab, there’s gitea and like 10 other options.

I personally think that the industry has moved so far in the direction of cloud and saas that it’s lost a lot of valuable skills and made them dependent on too much externally.

Which is a ridiculous premise of you think about it for even a moment.

The Republicans don’t care that they are hypocrites. Their electorate doesn’t care they are hypocritical. These tweets are not a gotcha, it’s just engagement bait.
