I don't understand how podman can be used for serious development work. Sure, if you want to be bound to one single platform (linux), and create a bunch of individual files, you can sort of get something a little bit…
The one big reason I dread giving up compose files is that they're a great way to have system agnostic documentation on how to setup a new stack. That means every developer can just start the thing locally, and it's…
It's not just mildly annoying, it completely ruins a great thing. Docker Compose is to stacks what Dockerfiles are to a single application. Podmans solution is to not commit to compose, but instead to create a bespoke…
What's the alternative? Everyones up in arms, but I see ZERO viable alternatives proposed. If you have 1000 applications for every job, and you know that a bunch of these applications are "a bad fit", to put it mildly,…
At least in the case of solar and EVs, it's a case of western countries preferring to protect their existing cashcow industries rather than invest to build the industries of the future. For a brief second, Germany was…
I mean, can the market really handle any of these prices? If we're truly stuck with these increasing prices for another year or so, whole sectors might get "restructured", including gaming, simply because people cannot…
Right now, noone that can avoid it should be buying ANYTHING with RAM or SSD in it. We're truly screwed if things don't calm down at least a little....
So a tiny tiny tiny amount of games, with the added fun that older games might just not be available, OR cost a whole bunch because they're collector items. People love talking about console exclusives, but every game…
I've recently played through all the Dragon Age games on the same PC. A PS5 can only do Inquisition and the best one, Veilguard. Before that, I played Psychonauts 1. We forget how many insanely good, solid games existed…
Obviously I can't see the future, and I live in my own bubble.... Isn't self hosting, and small, private/semi-private communities the only way forwards for much of the internet? AI has made content extremely valuable,…
That's a foolish thing to say because building enough nuclear, even with the fairy tale prices and times people make up, would take soooo much longer and cost sooo much more than green energy. Even more importantly,…
What choices make nuclear expensive that we could actually get rid of WITHOUT IMMEDIATELY increasing risk (which is low because of regulation)? Moreover, it's crazy that so much regulation was provably written in blood…
So its really safe, but also the evil regulations make it expensive. I'm certain there's ZERO correlation between regulations that make it expensive and regulations making it safe.................... So, where is the…
Well, business english IS annoyingly verbose and full of empty phrases. It would be cool if we could dispense with vapid pleasantries. I'm certainly not going to be the first to stake my job or my promotion on that…
They don't have the same quality and kind of data. For example, Claude Code might have general conversation flow data for implementing feature X, but Cursor has users individual editing actions AND the chat flow. Which…
It's really important to note that the programmatic vs. interactive framing is a little misleading. For example, if you're using some IDE integrations, that is still interactive, that is still the same usage pattern as…
People do want the advantages of decentralization, but they don't want to pay the price for it. Even worse, centralized systems are great for most of the time, the pain generally happens only in a short span, but then…
Obviously, there's different options and variables and bla bla bla, but considering how consolidated and highly industrialized and standardized meat production is, this data is very likely close enough to true for the…
Well, I've got a small server rack and roof top solar, therefore data centers don't actually use water. In other words, bringing up some anecdotal, hyper specific (how many meat eaters just "have a few cows"?)…

There doesn't have to be storage, NSA could always just force them to add it in later without telling you. Like every single USA company.
They got loans to buy inference hardware on the promise of potential AGI, or at least something approaching ASI, all leading to stupid amounts of profit for those investors. We therefore cannot just look at inference…
The constant improvements of SOTA are the main thing keeping the investment machine running. We can't really remove training costs from inference costs, because a bunch of the funding and loans for the inference…
Imagine eastern models were only trained on chinese official news. Would you call that an unbiased, uncensored LLM? Would it be practically different from just directly censoring the LLM? In the west, especially in the…
Yes, but in the long run, the market expects growth and innovation, not just doing the same thing with fewer workers. Especially when every other company can just buy the exact same advantage for the same price.
