Yeah, I know, you think Chinese hegemony will be so much better.

Could be a lot of things. He’s still oddly subservient to Putin, and mostly serving Putin’s aims. Could be that Trump’s position and power doesn’t extend fast enough to end Ukraine. (Maybe because the Republican Senate won’t allow it?)

It’s still good practice. Suddenly everyone is looking at that person to do the thing, and if they don’t the problem is more clear.

High sec is the tutorial. The game is about organizations and politics. If you don’t get into that aspect of it in one of a thousand ways, you’re not really playing the game.

I enjoyed the first run through of Factorio with friends, but it very quickly just became too much like work.
Like if I wanted to debug and fix a giant machine, I could do it on something productive.

Well, no. And I think it was just not a few atoms. But we did it.

Btw, we just transmuted our first gold just recently.

- Comment on Will LW *PLEASE* do something about that hit-and-run account? 1 week ago:
Most fixes I can think of would effectively be a one move blunder, where the opponent’s move is extremely obvious and only leaves us in a worse position.
The only real fix I can think of is to require everyone to sign in with a Steam account that has spent > $200 or similar.

I was hoping the tariffs would be good, but I certainly expected it to be a disaster otherwise.
In retrospect, it was just really bad, and his tariffs were a ham-fisted turd. He saved the demolition of the country for his second term, after he let Stephen Miller run things and got rid of anyone who was telling him no.

It’s fine. He has potential, and he really did move fast and break things to make Tesla what it was. I don’t think EVs would be where they are today without him.
The pedophile thing really was the turning point. It was possible to see before then, but it wasn’t even the event itself that did it. He just changed fast around that time period. Whether his views changed or he just started revealing and acting on them much more is debatable.

Maybe just young, because the coverage up to that point was hard to avoid.
- Comment on who's gonna tell him? 2 weeks ago:
He was probably already racist, but it really does seem like the drugs helped make him a Nazi.
It’s probably a combination of the people feeding him drugs and him drifting towards manipulators instead of people who might tell him no.

ies in this case. I hope you don’t want to know why. ‘y’ usually (but not always) becomes “ies”?
- Comment on I hacked mars! 5 weeks ago:
Difficult and stupid aren’t the same thing. There aren’t many goals on the same scale of human progress.
And the attempt would likely teach us lessons about our own atmosphere and maintaining it. Learning the failure conditions of a biosphere and how to avert disaster seems extremely relevant for the upcoming decades.

It does seem like the best way to do level 1 tech support.

The big US national parks had a reservation system for a bit. It was great.
If I get a ticket, I’ll go and it’ll be a pleasant experience. If I don’t, well, I can take a tour bus in or I can just not go.
I appreciated that systemic fix, even if it sucks when you don’t get a ticket and get to drive in exactly how you want. (You can still enter on foot or public transit.)

So they’ve provided you a solution to your problem, but you don’t want to use it to solve your problem, and you’re mad at them because you’re still using the thing you don’t want to use.
Got it.

Yeah, nuance exists. Weird, I know.

How do I put this.
AI isn’t exactly the cause of the rise in the price of hardware. Only 1/6th of the purchased Nvidia cards are actually in data centers. Same for the memory.
We’re not using it.
What’s really drumming up all the prices is that the billionaires are convinced that AI is going to replace tons and tons of people. It’s not. It’s the insane corporate hype that’s doing all the damage.
It will replace some, sure. The same way the electric drill replaced carpenters. One electric drill does not replace one carpenter. That’s not how that works. Instead the carpenters can work a bit faster and their job is a bit easier. It’s worth buying and it’s worth using, but it doesn’t really replace a person. Accountants didn’t disappear as a profession when spreadsheets were invented.
There were books written in the 1980s about how household appliances raised the standard of cleanliness. Turns out people change clothes more when cleaning clothes doesn’t involve a washing board. And I don’t think Roombas replaced that many jobs either.
In particular, I think this is a thing that will happen for software development. I don’t think it’ll reduce the number of developers we need. I think the standards for development will just be higher. All the front end stuff in particular is going to get easier, and you won’t need as many frameworks. We’ll especially need just as many devs, if not more, in the short term. Someone’s going to have to fix the mess all these companies are going to make after they’ve fired half their devs and tried to just vibe code everything.

Would be better without the text overlay.
- Comment on Diabolical 1 month ago:
To expand on that, the prosecution wouldn’t have an obligation to reveal that evidence to the jury, but they would have an obligation to provide it to the court and/or defense during discovery. And, you know, that seems like something the defense would both use and request if it were missing.
