This is the sort of thing I saw someone just a few weeks ago claiming that AI would “never be able to do.” Well, it’s doing it now. It’s only going to get better, too.
Too many people commenting on AI are only familiar with what it could do three years ago, or even a year ago. And that’s not good enough. These days, that’s like being familiar with a 1914 car or a 1928 car.
We do seem to have gotten the best of Russian-built air defenses. I bet there’s some classified secret sauce stuff going on there that we’ll find out about in a decade.
Accidentally became a metalworker because I mistook “smithing” for “smiting.”
Dammit.
The OS is the malware. The ads are just evidence that you’ve installed malware.
America Is Falling Out of Love With Pizza.
The true sign that we’re all turning to evil. I believe the universe might have been created so that pizza could exist.
I’m not sure that’s quite right. I mean, certainly, the phenomenon occurs but the etiology of this sociocultural disease is not quite the correct one for either the right or the left.
For libs, it’s the desire to performatively signal that you’re against anything or anyone exceptional or that will contribute in any way to climate change (which they are usually wrong about anyway). For the right, being degrowth means you are for tradition and returning to some mythical past. Also usually performatively, as the right-wing degrowther neither understands the past they wish to retreat to nor the current aim of any project or idea.
And the libertarians are just being even worse clowns than those two because anything that has a hint of “government” in it they automatically despise; they prefer to be oppressed by corporations.
Is my GF too close with her mother?:
Yes. Run, run, immediately run as fast as you can.
I made the mistake of being with a woman once with a co-dependent relationship like this with her mom and it was a colossal mistake. Nothing good will come of this. Your life will be hell and then keep descending.
Back to this. IPv6 makes sense if you have more than a few hundred thousand endpoints and a large engineering staff to manage it all. It’s tons more complex and fiddly than IPv4, so if you have, say, three full-time network engineers for IPv4, if you put in IPv6 you’ll need around a dozen (or one me, but I am rare).
It then does in fact totally make sense! Since IPv4 will always be around and IPv6 is as mentioned vastly more complex and often poorly implemented in hardware, you’ve just increased the difficulty of managing your network 50-fold at least. But some other problems do in fact go away.
Which is why mobile providers use IPv6 — they have the large full-time networking staff to handle it and millions of endpoints which makes even poorly-designed IPv6 a sensible choice.
And all of the above is exactly why no one else should use it.
The radius of a white dwarf decreases as its mass increases.
"Microslop" trends on social media — backlash to Microsoft's on-going AI obsession continues.
I was wrong about AI coding: 2025 changed how I build software. Most people were.
