I actually enjoy a good cigar every once in a great while. I do not like smelling like smoke so I either go outside or to the “smoke shack” in my basement which has a fan that sucks all the smoke outside.

- Comment on Forbidden Tech 1 week ago:
Yes, this would technically work. Although, it would only power the hot leg the outlet is connected to which only feeds part of the house.
It’s very dangerous for a variety of reasons. Especially if you forget to shut off the mains breaker. The transformer can backfeed power down the line at line voltages, creating a shock hazard for lineman or anyone else who might have contact with the line.

I would bet there are still a few old pieces of industrial machinery around that I duct taped together by imaging an ancient PC and transferring it to a Virtual Box VM.

- Comment on Saudi Arabia has big AI ambitions. They could come at the cost of human rights 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s pretty safe to say that when your country is run by a murderous tyrant who has his own mother arrested on [presumably] fabricated corruption charges, human rights are of little concern.
- Comment on Damn DeMoCrAps! Don't you understand??1! Paying less in tax is DEI, unless you're rich then it's DEI TO pay taxes!1!1!1! 3 weeks ago:
Republicans will squeeze the IRS to the point where it doesn’t have the resources to audit larger and wealthier tax
payerscheats. Not hard enough to make it fold altogether. That would inevitably result in them not getting paychecks. Anyone who actually believes they’re going to eliminate the IRS, the primary collector of the feds revenue, is a moron. - Comment on Good times were had 3 weeks ago:
My childhood did suck. If you offered me $1M to go back and relive it, I wouldn’t do it.
That said, it’s pretty common for people to feel like their younger years were the “best years of their life.” Some of that comes from being ignorant of or not having to deal with adult level problems. Some of it from just how the human brain stores long term memories; by creating a lot of shortcuts and glossing over details.
One thing I’ve learned is that life is hard. But being hard doesn’t also mean that it can’t be good.
- Comment on AI will replace routine — freeing people for creativity. 3 weeks ago:
According to data from the world’s largest job board, Indeed, demand for IT jobs is rapidly declining. Backend development, testing, technical analysis — all of this is being automated faster than education systems can adapt. Since the end of 2022, global tech corporations have laid off more than 635,000 employees. Behind this figure are engineers, designers, analysts, UX specialists — people who, until recently, were considered the elite of the digital world.
This is not because of “AI.” This is because the river of dirt cheap debt dried up and corporations ran out of gambling money to blow in pursuit of the next big thing. I’ve spent a lot of my career working for non-tech companies who have this idea that they have a massive treasure trove of data which they are sure can be monotized. So, they set out creating solutions in search of problems. Every project I’ve worked on in the last 5 years has failed for this exact reason. Rising interest rates brought most of the gambling screeching to a halt.

- Comment on DuckDB is Probably the Most Important Geospatial Software of the Last Decade 4 weeks ago:
It seems like the singular benefit is that DuckDB (or similar OLAP models) can quickly handle lots of expensive read queries on large datasets.
It’s not a replacement for a traditional RDBMS. I’ve never used it so I don’t know if it’s worth the effort to maintain instead of just using a Postgres read-only instance to run analytics queries but somehow I doubt it.
My guess would be that it has a few very specific use cases where it can provide some added benefit. So, I fully expect it to be crammed forcefully into software projects where it provides no tangible benefit for the foreseeable future. Just like cough MongoDB cough.

Sounds like a lot of these people either have an undiagnosed mental illness or they are really, reeeeaaaaalllyy gullible.
For shit’s sake, it’s a computer. No matter how sentient the glorified chatbot being sold as “AI” appears to be, it’s essentially a bunch of rocks that humans figured out how to jet electricity through in such a way that it can do math. Impressive? I mean, yeah. It is. But it’s not a human, much less a living being of any kind. You cannot have a relationship with it beyond that of a user.
If a computer starts talking to you as though you’re some sort of God incarnate, you should probably take that with a dump truck full of salt rather then just letting your crazy latch on to that fantasy and run wild.
