Funny thing is that at least in my wedding day there was no sex.
It was just way too exhausting to have energy left over for that.

Blasphemy, TempleOS requires 512MB, so everyone has to at least have that.

Well the good news about 365 suite on the web is they made it even worse… wait…
- Comment on Anon time travels 5 days ago:
Yeah, the croplands came up in a discussion here…
A farm was shutting down because a datacenter operator bought the land, a fully functioning farm. It was more profitable to sell the land than keep it viable for food production…
Now the chances of that land ever being appropriate for farming again…
- Comment on Anon time travels 5 days ago:
Now you have me imagining the volume of investment currently thrown at LLM datacenters instead being thrown at solar and energy storage and I’m even more disappointed. Areas that seem to have some legs where we haven’t pushed the physics quite as hard as we have computing yet.

In hopes of making you feel better, the cache amount consumed hardly matters. It’s evictable. So if you read a gigabyte in once that you’ll never ever need again, it’ll probably just float in cache because, well, why not? It’s not like an application needs it right now.
If you really want to feel better about your reported memory usage, sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches. You’ll slow things down a bit as it rereads the stuff it actually needs to reuse, but particularly if your system has a lot of I/O at bootup that never happens again, a single pass can make the accounting look better.
You could at least do it once to see how much cache can be dropped so you can feel good about the actual amount of memory if an application really needs it.
Though the memory usage of VMs gets tricky, especially double-caching, since inside the VM it is evictable, but the host has no idea that it is evictable, so memory pressure won’t reclaim stuff in a guest or peer VM.

I could see a refusal to use codegen as a potential liability, but that’s not “skills”. The biggest thing about codegen is you have to review it and just lower your expectations that the code comes from a technique dumber than the dumbest human intern you have ever seen and approach it with supremely thorough skepticism. It’s exhausting how dumb it can be and how you have to be paranoid for every single piece of output. But it’s not a “skill”

- Comment on US labor unions gear up to fight against Trump’s ‘Billionaire First’ agenda 2 weeks ago:
I remember 2024 when I was inundated with union guys saying Trump was best (because of protectionist tariffs). Then in 2025 lamenting that tariffs were making things they want to buy more expensive, and that there should only be tariffs on the products their specific union makes, but tariffs on things they want to buy should not be a thing.
I guess we’ve come around to remembering that somehow the quintessential rich guy for the “trickle down” party isn’t going to be good for workers after all… what a shock…
- Comment on rest in pepperoni 2 weeks ago:
I’ve heard that people think he tried a variety of quack treatments alongside doctor prescribed treatments. Basically generally desperate and ready to try everything all at once. Which is a common theme among terminal patients.
But he did say antivax stuff, after having been vaccinated. So at least when his own personal stakes are low, he was willing to roll with the MAGA rhetoric, but he wasn’t about to let his own life be at additional risk for it.
Because he and Biden had the same cancer. He actually explicitly said Trump was wrong for being mean to Biden over it. If Adams didn’t have the same disease, he probably would have piled on.

It’s not a subjective thing. Cold medicines treat symptoms, not the disease. Cold and allergies have common symptoms.
If your concern is that cold medicines don’t work for your allergies, thwn those tend not to work for colds either.
If the medicine is trying to use phenylephrine in a pill, that doesn’t do anything. You might also want to skip the acetaminophen usually included and you have zero need for that, but not every co of d medicine has that.
- Comment on Yale Posting It's Ls 2 weeks ago:
This is a perspective that the leadership in general should keep in mind.
They are relishing in ignoring laws and treaties and just opting out of consequences. Generally people understand that honoring laws and elections leaves the populace broadly with a sense of justice even with misdeeds and the punishments are, generally, pretty light. Even the light punishments satisfy people.
Continually flaunting these mechanisms and denying people a civilized path to feelings of justice and being heard is a dangerous thing.
It’s why the control bounces back and forth between two sinilar political parties, most people get a sense of “my team won” or “my team will probably win next time” and this placates people. To decide to nope out of these conventions is to invite great risk.

Look at the people trashing AI 2 years ago, how it would constantly hallucinate and produce gibberish code.
In my experience, this is absolutely still the case…
- Comment on Hospital Bill 1961 4 weeks ago:
Another thing to keep in mind, this was a bill for a 9 day hospital stay. Generally speaking a vaginal birth has you back out the door in 24 hours, maybe 48 if something warrants a little more observation.

Fax machines, fine, certain organizations still require those mostly because people fall to understand that a fax machine is just a scanner and printer and this some bearaucracy failed to keep pace.
Same story for checkbooks.
AOL is still a thing and you can even sign up for it today, email address wise.
Record players are in use, though more people own records than record players, more popular as display pieces than actual music medium.
I would say everything else on the list is pretty much dead unless you go out of your way to do them, and nothing else on the list has so much nostalgia appeal compared to the problems and difficulty with them.

I haven’t seen the ads to have any idea about this person, but I will but from the stores.
GameStop very rarely, because a game console store price is dumb and getting a used copy of a popular game is cheap, but overwhelmingly will get/wait for PC editions of games, so it comes up very rarely.
Best buy I’ll buy something because they frequently are competitive with buying online, and I like the ability to just pick something up now without waiting. Also when a controller has an issue or was similarly instant to exchange. Didn’t wait a few days just to get a botched one and then wait a few days for a replacement, got it, find out of was not working, and exchanged it all in the same day.

The RAM that has been sold will not be viable for desktop systems, but especially with manufacturing capacity build up, you’d have memory vendors a bit more desperate to find a target market for new product. Datacenter clients will still exist but they could actually subsist on the hypothetical leftovers of a failed buildout, so consumer space may be their best bet.
- Comment on When the AI bubble bursts.. 1 month ago:
Unfortunately not even then. Nowadays the GPUs are a pretty alien form factor, usually not pcie cards. SXM and now HGX.
Datacenter gear has resembled consumer systems less and less after a period of getting closer in the 90s and 2000s.
