  • The day that AI can program perfectly is the day it can improve the itself perfectly and it’s the day that we’ll all be fucked.

    I personally vote for some sort of direct brain interface (no Elmo, you’re not allowed to play) that DOES allow direct recall of queries but does NOT allow ads ffs) that allows us to grow with AI in intelligence. If you can’t beat em (we can’t), join em.





  • Just no.

    Just because it’s useful for fossil fuel companies doesn’t mean that it’s a conspiracy from them.

    There is a whole litany of reasons why electric flight is not doable, or so hard and unsafe. That is the main reason why we’re still flying carbon fuel airplanes.

    It’s gram for gram the most energy dense, easily being dozen(s) of times denser. You need so many batteries to fly a plane that you won’t have (much) space left for passengers

    Fuel literally makes the airplane lighter as it burns during flight, making the airplane more efficient. Batteries don’t, so no efficiency there

    Itis only half the equation in a fire, where as batteries have everything right there to burn everyone to death, also sort of important.

    There are more but these three (well, mostly 1&2) already makes it extremely hard and expensive to do electrical flight, if ever possible at all


  • So really your only reason for possibly not liking next cloud is that it’s PHP, correct?

    What is the problem with PHP? I keep asking it and until now every response has been near me worthy. “Don’t like PHP because some function calls are not consistent.”, “don’t like PHP because 20 years ago it had Manu unsafe practices!”, that sort of nonsense.

    What is the problem with PHP, for you?

    I so fucking hated that scene

    So there are the new and improved orcs, they’re invincible! They’re like 3 meters tall and 200 kilograms of pure muscle awesome, they are invincible!

    Cue the guy who kills like 10 of these orcs as if he’s chipping vegetables, then he gets an arrow in the chest… And mind you, this is not an arrow that was cleared by the OIC for use at the Olympics, this is a small tree that blasts through his ribs. Oh noes! And he choos down like 4 more orcs and gets a second arrow in the chest… And proceeds to choose down a few more orcs and at this point there must be a pile of dead invincible orcs around him but he continues and get yet another arrow in the chest! Oh noes! Anyway, so he chops down another orc and then finally dies.

    I may have gotten a few details wrong , it’s been a while since I saw the scene but boy oh boy did it piss me off. This fucking invincible orcs army was worth less than a promise from Elmo Musk, it was a load of crap

    That same army then attacks this fortified city (was it helms deep, I believe?) and the dwarf and elf swing on to this narrow bridge and just start chopping more veggies. At some point the dwarf is boasting about having killed dozens and the elf just dead pan responds he’s somewheres in the hundreds or so? Anyways, it just completely took away the urgency and worry, it was just this dumb comedy night now with no real stakes.

    Then again at the end, everything is about to fall, everything seems lost, but have no fear, the Deux ex machina is here! In the shape of a literal dead and cannot die spirit army that just waltzes over the baddies and kills them in seconds, tadaaaahhh!

    These scenes ruined lord of the rings for me forever, I can’t watch it again coz it’s nine hours and I’ll just get pissed for having wasted 9more hours of my life.


  • Of course it’s nonsense and bullshit, but managers who don’t understand software development (and don’t want to, they literally don’t give a shit) parrot this bullshit line and others over and over to push for faster development.

    I was lucky enough to be left to my decides for a while and I’ve build an extremely dependable phoundation on which I’m now building various products and the company now is starting to churn out great dependable products because of it. The old guard still hasn’t been able to move forward in 2 years because they’re only busy with puttibg out fires everywhere all day every day.









  • Move the ssh port to higher ranges, 30-60000. That alone will stop 99% of the attacks

    Disable root logins, now usernames must be guessed too which will make success even lower

    Then require SSH keys

    At that point it’s like being in a nuclear fallout nshelter behind a 3 meter thick steel door and you can hear some zombies scratching on the outside… I’m not worried about any of that shit
