Oh true! I haven’t read Ender’s Game in years, and I only read the first book. Thanks for the reminder I should re-read.
But I’m also specifically curious about sci fi franchises where the slowdown of time is intentional as a way to preserve people, it sounds like a cool premise, and with the mountain of sci fi material I imagine it’s probably been done somewhere
This makes me curious. There have to be sci fi stories out there where instead of cryostasis, people are just moved really fast or put in high gravity environments to make time move slower for them
You do know this line is about mass shootings in general and not just school shootings, and that
A vast majority of guns used in 19 recent mass shootings were bought legally and with a federal background check. At least nine gunmen had criminal histories or documented mental health problems that did not prevent them from obtaining their weapons.

And that article is from 2018 and the shootings have only become more frequent
God in that story
And with that level of commitment, absolutely enjoys every bit of both making the costume, and their kid being a fart for Halloween, especially if it annoys other parents
Yeah we are on the precipice of a massive bubble about to burst because, like the dot com bubble magic promises are being made by and to people who don’t understand the tech as if it is some magic that will net incredible profits just by pursuing it. LLMs have great applications in specific things, but they are being thrown in every direction to see where they will stick and the magic payoff will come
I think the idea is that every company is dumping money into LLMs and no other form of alternative AI development to the point that all AI research is LLM based and therefore to investors and those involved, it’s effectively the only only avenue to AGI, though that’s likely not true
Random recommendation, but I recently stumbled upon https://monaspace.githubnext.com, and it seems like a pretty cool approach to the whole "monospace font for dev work"
It's a whole different ballgame. I've written a good amount of C and C++ in my day. I've been learning Rust for a year or so now. Switching between allocating your own memory and managing it, and the concept of "Ownership" https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch04-01-what-is-ownership.html is just something many devs set in their ways aren't willing to do.
I understand where they're coming from, I've gone through massive refactors with new tech in my career. I think this approach needs to be more methodical and cautious than it is, but I don't think they are correct in the end result. I think a memory-safe language is the way to go, and it needs to happen.
This to me is a classic software project with no manager and a bunch of devs arguing internally with no clear external goals. There needs to be definitive goals set over a timeline. If someone doesn't agree after a consensus is reached they can leave the project. But as of now I think as others have said this is 80% infighting, 20% actual work that's happening.
Right, but he’s placing a subtle idea on people that wage theft isn’t a thing, overtime shouldn’t be a thing, and we shouldn’t have regulation for that. There’s a reason SREs get paid so much money, and it’s because it’s in their contract that they have to be the ones to rotate shifts and be up at 2am during an upgrade or otherwise, and he’s just mad he can’t pay everyone less and make more money
And still salty enough to rename twitter to the company that merged with PayPal since PayPal was such a better name

Also ask Musk fanboys who Greg Kouri is and they have no idea
