Buy monitors and hook them up to hardware and software you control. Fuck ‘smart’ TVs.

Ah, of course. That makes a lot more sense. For a given value of ‘sense’ anyway.

Hm, interesting. I certainly wouldn’t mind replacing shell script with something more structured and less brittle. The performance gains are very nice too.

I’d like some more information about how it works and integrates with the system though. Presumably the JIT’ed native code is cached somewhere a la the CLR, but where, when and how?

I’m not convinced that is a wise long-term investment compared to, say, fusion.

It depends. What kind of game are you looking to create?

Wait, hang on. I’m agreeing with something Texas did?

Looks at the half-empty coffee mug confusedly

…What was in that stuff?

This is the saddest arms-race to date, and that’s saying something.

Good. However, I’m still going to be moving to Waterfox or LibreWolf – likely the latter. I need some more eyes on the source code and some competent insulation between me and the next set of dubious decisions.

Soon, there will be no need for consri- consh- constra- making teh werds outta them little latters. We’ll have a tiny picture for everything, and then we’ll have our very own Chinese - except with much cooler pictures in color!

Please stop, you maniacs.

If you’re trying to avoid distractions, you might have failed at the ‘tweet’ step.

“I most humbly apologize for the error – that should never have happened. In my defense, I had reason to believe he was going to blow someone away with an intended performance.”

“According to all available documentation, your code is utter shit.”

Nice work!

peak tinfoil hat stuff.

Indeed. Amusing though.

It’s profoundly disturbing that wasn’t what they originally had intended to do by default. I don’t see how anybody can trust people who have to be forced to do the right thing to keep doing the right thing. I’d expect them to just try to sneak it back in later when the focus has shifted. Clearly they see no fundamental moral or ethical issue with it - or they simply don’t care.

Yeah, because accounting is where you’d really like an LLM to hallucinate results. /s

“What do you mean ‘he solved all of it’? What are we going to do with all these doctorates?!”

In this case I was being tongue-in-cheek, albeit in a darkly cynical kind of way. After all, if he had made a breakthrough worth killing him over, that alone wouldn’t be enough. One would have to arrange any number of inconvenient fires / break-ins to get rid of the research and data.

Mind you, if you want to sleep soundly at night, you probably shouldn’t look into the stories about John Bedini’s old mentor John Cejka. That shit’s wild.

The theoretical physicist and fusion scientist was known for his award-winning research in magnetised plasma dynamics.

Dons tin-foil hat

…Okay, so what’s the over/under on him having had a recent breakthrough and this being a fossil fuel industry-sponsored hit?
