I don't mean to be a pessimist, but we'll see how it lasts and scales 😅 it's certainly promising, but 2MW also isn't much. I'm curious how large they can scale single reactors, and how close they can safely be to populations - one of the problems with nuclear always ends up being transporting the energy (usually quite far away) once you've generated it.

Seriously... obviously the people selling tickets are scumbags, but who is actually stupid enough to buy them? Why is there a market at all? 🤯

Nah, that's more Trump's shtick. Elon's goals are obvious: he's just trying to privatize everything valuable and destroy everything that can regulate him.

You're so tough, I'm so envious of you 🥺

Yes, an actor with his castings has absolutely no options 🙄 this is the only one he got a call-back for, obviously

Based on some basic searches (deep research, obviously), Harvard can run off of just its endowment for almost 10 years. Add in forthcoming donations and investment returns along with some mild cost-cutting, and it seems like an easy bet on Harvard to outlast Trump... hopefully they don't cave.

You're always welcome to read the article - I find that they often include additional information related to the headline!

...stupidity? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

They're intentionally crashing the economy so they and all their billionaire buddies can buy everything up for cheap. Everything is going literally exactly as planned.

Huh, this is the only one I've never heard of so far. Guess I'll give it a go next time 🤷‍♂️

The sad reality is that I'm going to be fine. I'm going to survive the turmoil and probably make money in the process, because I've been lucky before now. I worry for people that haven't been lucky. I worry for people that have been lucky but happen to be the "wrong" race. I worry for my gay friends that are looking at fleeing the country as an easier alternative. I worry for my trans friend that already has fled the country.

The US has always had problems, sure, but nothing like this.

People existing in society in good faith. People who just want the world to be a better place to live, and aren't willing to shove people down below them in order to get an edge.

And Linux isn't minimal effort. It's an operating system that demands more of you than does the commercial offerings from Microsoft and Apple. Thus, it serves as a dojo for understanding computers better. With a sensei who keeps demanding you figure problems out on your own in order to learn and level up.

Counterpoint: most people don't use Linux because the people that evangelize Linux talk about it like this.

I don't want to "level up," I want to accomplish my tasks. I'm trying to get shit done, not train for a fucking tournament.

It has passable train infrastructure for cargo, in some places. Definitely not even close to "good."

Honestly, AI coding assistants (as in the ones working like auto-complete in the code editor) are very close to useless unless maybe you work in one of those languages like Java that are extremely verbose and lack expressiveness.

Hard disagree. They're not writing anything on their own, no, but my stack saves at least 75% of my time, and I work full-stack across pieces in 5 different languages.

Cursor + Claude was the latest big shift for me, maybe two months ago? If you haven't tried them, it was a huge bump in utility

In the short-term (0-6mo, maybe less): probably nothing really changes. It's not super likely that anyone would be holding on to a massive flaw, waiting for EOL. Nothing stops Microsoft from patching after EOL for something major, they've done it before.

Medium-term (maybe up to a year or two): you're looking at real potential to get infected with --who-knows-what--. Hard to say how long it would take or how widespread it would be.

Longer term: massive, massive security hole. Microsoft has probably even patched a major thing or two by now (despite EOL), but there will always be more

These are like side dishes or snacks to me. I just don't feel sated.

Funny, I'm the opposite - I get stuffed from a breakfast of bacon, eggs, and toast/biscuit/hashbrowns, whereas I don't tend to eat nearly as much at other meals.

I also love breakfast foods. Eggs are life.

It's the only thing stopping the people in charge of our society from mandating 16-hour days

What a horrible title 🤢
