Today it's Trump, yesterday it was something else. Tomorrow it'll be a third thing.

We've had this discourse happen again and again over the last... Christ, 20 years fuck me.

At some point people have to start realizing "oh wait, maybe the current situation isn't unique and people have felt like this since forever".

I really want to like Ruby; it's my Smalltalk-lite for small projects, because it's easier to run and get going than spinning up VMs. However, it's retarded shit like this drama that makes me move away from languages.

I found that the drivers I had were no longer compatible with the newer kernels. After upgrading to newer drivers it was able to offload again.

> Well, for a time greek city states did fight pretty much like this. Small armies of hoplites were raised outside harvest season, went out, fought almost show-battles with very few casualties, and tribute changed hands based on the results. Everyone went home for the harvest.

This is a view held by a small group, but is in no way the accepted view of it for historians. See the link for a blogpost of a military historian talking about the orthodox and heterodox schools of thought on this.

Totally! I'm sick of not being able to see what tools they use. In fact, I feel that we should also start tagging devs that use an IDE instead of properly coding games in notepad.

I'll have to try projects I guess, but I just want to sometimes ask questions without it bringing up shit I asked about in the past which isn't relevant to what I'm asking this time.

In online Claude I often use incognito mode precisely because I don't want results to be influenced by what we talked about earlier. It's getting rather annoying to be honest.

While I'm on the fence about LLMs there's something funny about seeing an industry of technologists tear their own hair out about how technology is destroying their jobs. We're the industry of "we'll automate your job away". Why are we so indignant when we do it to ourselves...

Still a vacuum so the same heat dissipation issues, adding to it that the lunar dust makes solar panels less usable, and the lunar surface on the solar side gets really hot.

My concern isn't really clarity of intention, but that 'allowlisting' just doesn't flow as well when reading as whitelisting does.

Not entirely related to the content but man 'allowlisting' reads so badly. We should just out of ease of reading return to whitelisting.
