broodbucket··on AI stocks slide as Texas governor result raises data center risks
I'm not sure there being fewer jobs for a handful of datacentre engineers is going to be much of a problem for the voter base. Unless profits made from these datacentres are going to be directly helping the public somehow (if they even can make profits), there's fundamentally no reason for anyone to want DCs in their area. People might want to do things that require DCs, but that's different from wanting one near you. What arguments can you even make to ordinary people as to why they should want datacentres? It's the easiest populist slam dunk ever.
broodbucket··on The Mythical Man-Month in the Age of AI
FYI it's "moot", not "mute" here.
broodbucket··on Fable Took My Job
If you think AI can replace experienced engineers you're not working on anything complicated. If your product is a web app, sure, maybe. If you're working on actually difficult problems, then people who know what they're doing are irreplaceable. AI can supplement them and make them more productive, sure. AI does not know what NOT to build.
broodbucket··on IRCv3
I don't get this, it is working. It's largely replaced IRC in open source spaces. It's not going to penetrate the mainstream but it's fine for what it is and people do use it all the time.
broodbucket··on A statement on the Tor Project's relationship with Mullvad
They have a product good enough that they don't need a huge advertising budget that involves every channel on YouTube
broodbucket··on Yes, and
>And companies: you must let juniors write the code.

This is just not going to happen.

broodbucket··on PS5 Jailbreaks Are Escalating at an Unprecedented Pace
There's a site you can put your serial number into and it'll tell you if you're vulnerable
broodbucket··on PS5 Jailbreaks Are Escalating at an Unprecedented Pace
They should really give you code execution with nothing but a paperclip like the original Switch models
broodbucket··on We're working on a new RuneScape MMO
Source: I made it up, apparently, my memory failed me and they never went to prison. They just owed Blizzard $88594539.
broodbucket··on We're working on a new RuneScape MMO
They very famously did not ignore it, with the whole "you think you want that but you don't", the shutdown of Nostalrius and so on. People were going to jail for WoW private servers before 2010

Same thing happened to Blizzard
broodbucket··on OpenBSD Developers Reject Uutils Coreutils
Bit hostile. I get the point that it's unnecessary, but the whole "agenda" thing feels kneejerk. Just say that being written in Rust isn't a good enough reason for adoption.
broodbucket··on Pi 1.0
Much like Arch you need to have a decent idea of what you want first. As a 15+ year Arch user I used to decry people using Manjaro or the like, now I'm using omp, so I get the appeal
broodbucket··on Singapore govt dating app uses Gale-Shapley stable marriage algorithm
The UK are at least vaguely equal opportunity authoritarians, and their police will arrest both the angry dad posting on Facebook about immigrants and the pensioner peacefully protesting in support of Palestine all the same

Australia doesn't have those either, despite many people assuming we do (including most people who live here).
broodbucket··on CS240 AI Cheating Retrospective
This was in...2013? I think the main point was just to stop students from footgunning themselves
broodbucket··on Gitea 28.0
It is kind of nuts how seemingly a generation of programmers came to think Git = GitHub
broodbucket··on CS240 AI Cheating Retrospective
My professor in a C course said anyone that uses `goto` gets failed. It was quite liberating for me to then end up writing `goto`s for a living
broodbucket··on Google ending ChromeOS support two years early
Schools, sadly for the students.
broodbucket··on Show HN: Raven – The harness of harnesses, built for RSI
We gotta do something about these clashing TLAs.
broodbucket··on Sonnet 5.5
Give omp a try.
broodbucket··on GrapheneOS – When an app is slow
Waze works perfectly fine for me
broodbucket··on When did Google get so weird?
I'm not sure about this. I know complete normies that lament how bad Google is now and how often the search is useless. I think many people just want search to search.
broodbucket··on DeepSeek Elastic Compute (DSec)
I'm actually the most innovative, I've written thousands of papers advancing the state of human knowledge. They're just in my basement and I don't show anyone.
broodbucket··on PipePipe: NewPipe hard fork implementing SponsorBlock
Limusic on desktop has been good for me too
broodbucket··on How to keep enjoying programming in a world of LLMs
That's great for you, but you're completely devoid of empathy if you can't understand these posts. For many, many people, the things that are left are not the enjoyable ones. People have built hobbies and careers around doing something they love and its relevance is evaporating at an unprecedented rate.
broodbucket··on MiMo v2.6
Apologies for not taking the time to find it, but there was a post that tried to determine if the pelican was benchmaxxed across a bunch of models by comparing it to other SVGs, and found that it wasn't at all.
broodbucket··on GLM Built Its Own Inference Infrastructure
Yeah it went from a great deal to unviable compared to other providers imo. They really need to find a healthy middle ground
broodbucket··on OpenSpec – A lightweight and configurable AI spec framework
If you're writing design documentation to /tmp you're not the target audience for this kind of thing
broodbucket··on I can't stop thinking about Papua New Guinea
Some players do manage to be eligible for both, you just can't swap once you've decided
