Same, this is the first I've heard of him. He sounds like a real fucking piece of shit.
- Comment on Rebble · Core Devices Keeps Stealing Our Work 1 week ago:
Yep, this is why we use GPL! Using a permissive license is like lending money to a friend—you should never, ever expect to get your money back. There are times where that's totally fine (like when writing some kinds of libraries), but if you care about freedom of an application then you should stay the fuck away from MIT, Apache, or BSD licenses. Just use the GPL, folks.

Yeah, that's a "block and move on with your day" sort of account for sure.

Yep, and it's still used in some new ones.

- Comment on Nvidia reveals Vera Rubin Superchip for the first time — incredibly compact board features 88-core Vera CPU, two Rubin GPUs, and 8 SOCAMM modules 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, 88/2 is weird as shit. Perhaps the GPUs are especially large? I know NVIDIA has that thing where you can slice up a GPU into smaller units (I can't remember what it's called, it's some fuckass TLA), so maybe they're counting on people doing that.

Thank you for sharing this fact that has filled me with joy. I am not enough of a science hippy to tell if beer, wine, or bourbon contain more phytoestrogens than soy, but they absolutely do contain it: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6761902/
- Comment on I've spent 3 days working in dust tearing down this bathroom 4 weeks ago:
I hadn't even thought of that! I did some oxyacetylene welding many moons ago and I remember the heat being absolutely intolerable at times.
I do machining as a hobby now and I'd really like to filter out cutting oil smoke. My biggest fear using a PAPR is my shop is the hose—I'd need to find a way to keep it REALLY close to my body. I don't want to get pulled into my lathe face-first.
- Comment on I've spent 3 days working in dust tearing down this bathroom 4 weeks ago:
I very much want a PAPR as well. I seem to recall that there were some units that came out of COVID that are somewhat cheaper, at least.

Yeah, Pokemon cards were like beanie babies back in the very late nineties and early aughts. People were OBSESSED with the value of their collections.

Open source can be enshittified. FOSS with many contributors should be basically proof against being fucked with.
- Comment on Bezos plan for solar powered datacenters is out of this world… literally 1 month ago:
Yeah, I think it'd be a pretty silly thing for us to ever try to do. My goal was to take their stupid idea, provide a slightly less stupid idea, and then say "or just don't do space power at all and keep everything terrestrial." Orbital solar power stations were lots of fun in science fiction, but panels are cheap, there's plenty of land, and giant death masers that cook any birds flying into the beam are, uh, suboptimal.
- Comment on Bezos plan for solar powered datacenters is out of this world… literally 1 month ago:
We've had the template for this for decades. Put the solar panels in space where the thick soupy gunky spunky atmosphere doesn't stop the little energy things from the sun. Collect the power in orbit. You just do that up there up in orbit okay? And then you fucking beam the power down to the surface you numpty fucks. Use a maser to send the power down to the surface and you can pick a frequency that isn't affected by the gunky spunky and then the receivers on the ground can pick it up and they send the power through these things called wires to a building that uses the power and the building can use this neat little thing called CONVECTION to more efficiently remove the heat from the things using the electricity wow.
Or just, y'know, use less power and make use of ground based solar. We don't need fucking AI data centers in space. Don't get me wrong, I think it might be useful to, say, have some compute up in geostationary orbit that other satellites could punt some data to for computation. You could have an evenly spaced ring of the fuckers so the users up there can get some data crunching done with a RTT of like 50ms instead of 700ms. That seems like a hard sell, but it at least seems a bit tenable if you needed to reduce the data you're sending back to the earth down to a more manageable amount. That is still not fuckass gigawatt AI data centers. Fuck
- Comment on Anyone had any luck running Fusion 360 on Linux? 1 month ago:
This script is why I ended up learning how to use OnShape. It's probably much better nowadays, but I could not get it working a few years ago. I needed CAD and OnShape was close enough to Inventor that it was almost frictionless.
- Comment on AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds 1 month ago:
Oh god, please don't use it for Bash. LLM-generated Bash is such a fucking pot of horse shit bad practices. Regular people have a hard enough time writing good Bash, and something trained on all the fucking crap on StackOverflow and GitHub is inevitably going to be so bad...

- Comment on CATL says next-gen sodium-ion battery supports 500 km range, readies for 2026 mass production 2 months ago:
AFAIK, LFP thermal runaway can't start fires. NMC or other lithium chemistries can and they scare me, but LFPs are pretty damn safe. That being said, I'm still stoked for sodium chemistries to be developed. If the round trip efficiency issues can be solved, then I think it'll be a great solution for residential power storage.
- Comment on Samsung brings ads to US fridges 2 months ago:
I made the mistake of buying a Samsung washer/dryer set in 2017. The washer actually still works and the seal has held up well, but the dryer drum jumped its tracks within the first year, and both have been plagued with gremlins.
Fuck Samsung appliances and honestly most things Samsung sells.

it was a form from Google soliciting feedback on the thing.

Lovely, thank you for this. I've left my feedback, and I hope many, many other people do as well.
- Comment on Left to Right Programming 3 months ago:
I'll agree that list comprehensions can be a bit annoying to write because your IDE can't help you until the basic loop is done, but you solve that by just doing
[thing for thing in things]and then add whatever conditions and attr access/function calls you need. - Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Do you have any sources for the 10x memory thing? I've seen people who have made memory usage claims, but I haven't seen benchmarks demonstrating this.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Debian is superior for server tasks. musl is designed to optimize for smaller binaries on disk. Memory is a secondary goal, and cpu time is a non-goal. musl isn't meant to be fast, it's meant to be small and easily embedded. Those are great things if you need to run in a network/disk constrained environment, but for a server? Why waste CPU cycles using a libc that is, by design, less time efficient?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Is it? I thought the thing that musl optimized for was disk usage, not memory usage or CPU time. It's been my experience that alpine containers are worse than their glibc counterparts because glibc is damn good. It's definitely faster in many cases. I think this is fixed now, but I remember when musl made the python interpreter run like 50-100x slower.
