This old tony is the GOAT
Moving to EVs is great, all countries are following similar trends and it is a good step in the right direction, but China has a long way to go before becoming a bastion of ecological absolution. Shanghai’s fog of pollution is something everyone should experience.
Remember china has the second largest population on the planet, cumulative metrics are useful but miss the bigger per capita picture. Check out the wikipedia article on ev usage and note the per capita numbers
Cat cafe, you can chill in there for ages slurpin on coffee surrounded by the lil gremlins
Wow what a neat project, I have spent a lot of time recently working around vulkan on m1 machines with compatibility layers and while it’s not a huge pain it does suck to miss out on some of the more powerful features of vulkan that the hardware is certainly capable of. I’m not keen on learning metal to bridge the gap and this is just what the doctor ordered.
This will be a huge boon for me, way to go!
We don’t deserve our open source heroes, so grateful for the incredible free software ecosystem
Gimp, 7zip, blender, vlc, open office, the kernel, thousands of others, I feel like our lives have been universally improved by these inverted charity projects. The few taking care of the undeserving many.
I’m a 10 year pro, and I’ve changed my workflows completely to include both chatgpt and copilot. I have found that for the mundane, simple, common patterns copilot’s accuracy is close to 9/10 correct, especially in my well maintained repos.
It seems like the accuracy of simple answers is directly proportional to the precision of my function and variable names.
I haven’t typed a full for loop in a year thanks to copilot, I treat it like an intent autocomplete.
Chatgpt on the other hand is remarkably useful for super well laid out questions, again with extreme precision in the terms you lay out. It has helped me in greenfield development with unique and insightful methodologies to accomplish tasks that would normally require extensive documentation searching.
Anyone who claims llms are a nothingburger is frankly wrong, with the right guidance my output has increased dramatically and my error rate has dropped slightly. I used to be able to put out about 1000 quality lines of change in a day (a poor metric, but a useful one) and my output has expanded to at least double that using the tools we have today.
Are LLMs miraculous? No, but they are incredibly powerful tools in the right hands.
Don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater.
At the start of the study, we asked participants to take a visual sensitivity test. For the test, they had to press a button as soon as they saw a triangle forming in a field of moving dots. People who would develop dementia were much slower to see this triangle on the screen than people who would remain without dementia
Ngl kaspersky is the close to the last group I care to hear from about security
Aww man uncalled destructors were definitely not even on my radar
google maps has location sharing, it works pretty well and it reminds you occasionally that you still have it on which is actually nice.
We yearn for answers to why we're here, there's a reason religion has been such a huge part of there human consciousness for so long, our brains are hard wired to find reasons for everything.
Since there is no known objective answer to this question, I'll answer it subjectively, recognizing that my life experiences have tainted my views.
Life has no purpose. People who do immense "evil" will not be punished. People who do immense "good" will not be rewarded.
Your existence is a beautiful, flighty phenomenon. You are a heap of octillions of atoms that somehow gained self awareness. Your happiness is merely a chemical exchange in your skull meat, it's fine to strive for happiness but it's fleeting.
I personally strive for serenity, accepting reality for what it is and making peace with it. Nothing matters, we're all going to lose the gift of consciousness through inevitable death, and that's okay.
You have copilot? You’ll be fine if so, just throw down comments for what you want it to do and tweak it when it doesn’t compile.

After how ajit pai shilled the fuck out of the chair position I don’t know if I can ever take it seriously again.
Fuck ajit pai, of course.
“rips” “drags” “slams”
What is with the weird word choice for modern news articles?
Lets whip out the thesaurus, use some flowery language! It can still be easy to understand but let’s expand past the weird 3 verbs we’ve been limited to!
“Senator Matt Gaetz forgot that investigations prove innocence too, and lashes out with his comments about a new investigation into his alleged intimate relationships with high schoolers.”
Really, if somebody wanted to investigate me about something I knew I was innocent about, I’d say “do your worst” not “ugh why would you investigate me” in a whiny voice.
