• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Devs gripe about having AI shoved down their throats⁩ ⁨⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s pretty easy to set up a cron job to fire off some sort of bullshit LLM request a handful of times a day during working hours. Just set it and forget it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google CEO: If an AI bubble pops, no one is getting out clean⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Who is “no one”? Because yeah, there will be splash damage, but some sectors (“AI” companies and the megacorps involved in the massive ongoing self-dealing circlejerk) will collapse, but others will simply see a correction. And I’ve already dumped anything LLM-related (as well as most US-based securities and ETFs) as of early this year. So I’ll take a hit (everyone will take a hit), but it’s not going to be nearly as bad as it will be for all the bag holders.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you wake up, how long does it take for your brain's "OS" to "resume from hibernation"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  With wake up stims? ~15-30m.

  Without wake up stims? Anywhere from 30m-3h, depending on a lot of contextual variables.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Data Center Backlash Is Swallowing American Politics⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In Oklahoma, 21-year-old GOP organizer Kennedy Laplante Garza started fighting a nearby data center proposal known as Clydesdale after learning over the summer that it would be built a mile from her family’s farm. “I didn’t even know that much about data centers at that point,” she told me. “But I knew my friends across the state were fighting similar things, whether they were solar panels or wind turbines.” Garza wound up organizing a mass petition campaign against the project that ultimately proved unsuccessful — Clydesdale broke ground this week.

  Emphasis mine.

  Just… wow. What a fucking imbecile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When Did VLC's Site Get Ads?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I just suck it down through apt or flatpak or homebrew or whatever is appropriate for the system I’m on. I tend to avoid manual download/install processes unless it is specifically recommended, or there’s no option to do it through a package manager.
