We’re hitting logarithmic scaling with the model trainings. GPT-5 is going to cost 10x more than GPT-4 to train, but are people going to pay $200 / month for the gpt-5 subscription?

interesting that charcoal is banned but gas is fine. I’ve never had the grease accumulated on the bottom of the grill catch fire on a charcoal grill, but with a gas grill…

which one of his sponsors is profiting from the embargo?

that’s basically chemistry. At relativistic speeds the electrons of the projectile don’t have play a significant role. It’s going to be atomic nuclei hitting atomic nuclei and the time it takes to go through the earth is like two microseconds for the projectile going at ( 1 - 10^-9 ) c. Even that, I suppose, is too long for the particle beam to scatter momentum from fusing with other particles, creating gamma rays, creating exotic particles etc. But we could just always go even closer to c? (on paper)

I think any matter going fast enough would do that. In the fast going thing’s perspective the earth would basically be just a thin membrane.

just use sudo su, we don’t have all day here.

Doing lines in the bathroom is also more fun at the office with your fellow salesmen compared to alone in your home.

Mr. Kernighan explains it nicely I think.

even a 5600 would be a massive leap for about $100. Add something like a used 6600XT or a 3060 and you’ll be back at current gen gaming at around $300€ total.

Linux is second nature to us IT people, so it’s easy to forget that the average person probably only knows basic shell scripting and how to build programs from git repos.

You don’t have to compile your own kernels you know that right?

‘No Way to Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens.

I admit that I work faster with AI help and if people get more stuff done in less time there might be less billable hours in the future for us. But AI did not replace me, a 10 times cheaper dude from India did.

Apart from spinning things maybe not spinning, why would it not work?

literally visible from space.

WSL2 and windows terminal are ok. I switched to Linux in my previous job back when WSL1 or VMs were the the available choices for doing Linux stuff, but later when people asked if I’d recommend using Linux for their work computer there I’d just say no. IME Linux and Windows were pretty 50/50 on how often things broke down, e.g. updates breaking the shitty fucking VPN app, but with windows you had IT solving that shit for you, with Linux you had to rely on yourself and other Linux desktop users in the company.

It’s still Daggerfall under the hood right?
