- Comment on Seize the means of computation 4 days ago:
Not even needed; with properly written code that does only what is necessary. All government and business computational needs could be satisfied by a single rack.
- Comment on Not a single one 2 weeks ago:
Solar and wind are nuclear powered. It is just very inefficiently being collected from the massive inefficient fusion reactor in the sky.
- Comment on Not a single one 2 weeks ago:
You do realize that they made nuclear recycling illegal in the USA right?
Which is ironic because nuclear waste is 97% pure fuel and the remaining 3% has other uses in medicine or have half-lives measured in minutes/hours or are stable (like gold)
- Comment on Will the next president of America have to do a world wide apology tour for this administration? Kind of like celebs do when they get their ass in a sling. 3 weeks ago:
It’ll take a century to repair the damage that has been done. So begins the American century of shame
- Comment on what would happen if a facehugger latched onto a graboid? 3 weeks ago:
A 40 ton alien able to dig through the ground at 60mph; aka we be fucked

- Comment on What else can we do with sugar (sucrose)? 5 months ago:
Well it could be used as an effective carbon storage after you strip off the hydrogen and bury it in the ground. I believe that they call that a reverse coal mine… I think we could even exploit current US government stupidity to fund it by mentioning coal
- Comment on Saying that hardware price increase is good cause it forces the devs to optimize is not as good as it seems. 5 months ago:
Modern developers simply were not ever taught the old ways. The old ways are light years ahead in terms of optimization and efficiency than what modern developers can even imagine. Imagine creating a C compiler and it has to run in 16KB of RAM and be powerful enough to build unxz, untar and sha256sum. Because it was done because they needed it.
- Comment on open question: where's the line between multi-tasking and monasticism? 5 months ago:
If you want cooldown between activities, you will need a rest period that is a multiple of 15 minutes.
- Comment on open question: where's the line between multi-tasking and monasticism? 5 months ago:
About 15 minutes.
If you can work on a single thing for blocks of 15 minutes size. Then you will context switch at the human mind’s natural frequency. Anything shorter and you’ll be operating at decreased IQ. Anything longer will not produce meaningful improvements.
- Comment on Little quick question: what do you think of advertising from a Marxist perspective? 5 months ago:
Sounds more like improving search and providing high quality information resources could eliminate the need for advertising altogether.

When entire state governments can fit in a single Rack, why bother?
