the santa clause really hits different when you realise the title refers to the rule, not the person

not explicitly in a line, but the whole “scorched the sky” monologue is pretty damning of humanity.
- Comment on The Matrix 18 hours ago:
he does know if you’ve been bad or good.
- Comment on The Matrix 21 hours ago:
“we don’t know” is a pretty damning thing for the one side to say. contrast starship troopers.
- Comment on The Matrix 21 hours ago:
objectively correct, making everyone simultaneously a nerd and an idiot, which cancels out.
except santa, the fucken nerd

china is an extreme on that chart because they are not part of a cluster. the us is in a cluster.

guessing you do web stuff? because the implementation for me usually entails probing hardware and developing communication protocols.

i’ve been all over. the last five years were spent partly with one other person in a garage, partly at a 100ish people biolab, partly at a high-security pan-european ID provider, partly at the world’s largest truck manufacturer.

you know how people pirating music did very little to hurt music sales, but how spotify has lowered the income of most of the world’s musicians?
it’s like that.

meanwhile we’re running our entire infra and support for hundreds of international customers on one of those old flat lenovo thinkstations.
we only just got a vps, because of routing issues.

that is not what i would call “extreme”.

actually, i’m gonna make a second comment from a more personal perspective because my main gripe with it (you know, other than the blatant abuse of the copyright system, the cult-like atmosphere of the companies pushing it, and the rush to build datacenters on cheap land which uses up local resources in the process) is that it has shown that i was much more alone in my previous jobs than i thought.
i work with tech people, and i like them have my own home server with a bunch of stuff on it. i like to tinker with it, write little scripts that do useful and fun things, build things just to explore programming languages, etc. the people around me didn’t really understand, they were all in on smart homes and stylish dashboards, and i’ve never been about that but at least they’re solving problems so i’m interested in how they do things. then i got laid off.
when you don’t have a job, time moves at a different pace. you can absorb news on more of a macro scale. and reading tech news left me so confused. all these people around me were letting the language models spit out crap code. they gave up on what i thought was the most interesting part of the job, actually solving the problem in elegant and efficient ways, and instead are just dictating. people are using ai to read emails that someone else used ai to write, they’re burning thousands of kWh to iterate through a hundred different broken implementations of the same thing rather than thinking about the problem.
as i said in another thread, it’s like being in the cycling club because you love cycling, having to leave because of an injury, and when you get back everyone has switched to cars because they’re faster.

it has real advantages for some scenarios. finding those scenarios (and by extension, everything it’s not good for) is usually what makes tech bubbles burst.

because the internet is more representative. among normal people the pro-ai ratio is like 15-18%, and with the current political situation most of the pro-crowd is on the u.s. right, meaning that they’re waaaaaaay disconnected from normal people.
those of us old enough to remember the dot-com boom are seeing a very familiar pattern.
