puelocesar··on Mac gaming is finally getting the overpowered upgrade it deserves
That really doesn’t make any sense. Do you really think Apple will ban steam on macOS overnight?
puelocesar··on Kimi K3: Open Frontier Intelligence
Probably yes, but maybe by then, so will the US
puelocesar··on Dua Lipa opens library for banned and censored books in Portugal
This was interesting until I read it's inside Livraria Lello. You have to pay to get inside and wait 1 hour in a line alongside tourists. So this looks more like a stunt than anything truly meaningful.
puelocesar··on Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
Honestly, this is quite funny. I just imagine the process of desperation and cognitive shock all the annoying tech bro pseudo libertarians are passing through right now
puelocesar··on Why isn't the U.S. better at soccer?
A ball? When I was a kid we rolled a bunch of socks together and played with it in the middle of the street and we defined the goal area with a pair of flip flops.

No need of a ball and infrastructure when you really want to play

puelocesar··on China vs. Taiwan: The Geography of an Unfinished War
That was a surprisingly good read. Brief enough that I can finish while in-between tickets, but long and deep enough that it can beautifully explain the whole crisis without oversimplifying it, and at the same time carefully presenting the two conflicting narratives.

edit: although I probably wouldn't trust the source when reading about Middle East conflicts...

puelocesar··on Leave Me Behind
By the way, where I live you can still buy furniture from crafts people. I bought by bed from a local shop, it was not expensive at all and I was pretty happy about it.

Perhaps check in your country if that isn’t true as well, people automatically assume IKEA killed all local shops, but there are many out there if you search for them.

puelocesar··on Google Declaring War on the Web
Just don’t forget science fiction is still, well, fiction
puelocesar··on The US is winning the AI race where it matters most: commercialization
Can I block a user to avoid seeing his posts? I noticed front page would be much nicer without guys like OP
puelocesar··on If AI writes your code, why use Python?
Honestly I cannot tell if this is satire or not
puelocesar··on I returned to AWS and was reminded why I left
We are having this dilemma right now. I’m not involved in devops, but it’s quite annoying on how slow everything related to our backend is.

I think we spend around 5k in aws, and I’m pretty sure we could be much more performant for a fraction of that price.

The problem is, who is going to setup everything? Hiring someone would for sure cost more than 5k

puelocesar··on Largest electric autonomous container ship begins commercial service
That’s a nice development. But the article fails to mention which kind of battery the vessel will use, which I thought was the main reason we didn’t have these kinds of ships yet.
puelocesar··on Smoking ban for people born after 2008 in the UK agreed
This is dumb. Brazil was able to extremely reduce tobacco consumption “just” with education and banning advertising.

It blows my mind how no other country in the world wants to follow their example on this. Are they too proud to copy a third world country? Even when it’s doing some things better?

puelocesar··on Prediction markets are breaking the news and becoming their own beat
They get away with it by having on the payroll the son of the president of the most powerful (and dangerous) country in the world
puelocesar··on John Ternus to become Apple CEO
It’s not the “walled garden” that’s preventing Valve to write Proton for Mac, it’s the lack of Vulcan support. Apple pushed to its own Metal framework when they deprecated OpenGl, which is probably great for performance, but outright denying support for Vulkan was a killer blow for games.
puelocesar··on John Ternus to become Apple CEO
I also feel burned by that, but to be fair, is there any software in the world that's not getting worse and worse?
puelocesar··on OpenClaw isn't fooling me. I remember MS-DOS
ok, now I wish there was an edit button. Thanks for noticing the mistake though
puelocesar··on OpenClaw isn't fooling me. I remember MS-DOS
180 grand a month for PA is a lot of money. But I guess each person has its own priority. I mean, I can pay a very fancy gym with that price instead of the shitty popular one I go, which would probably improve my well being much more than asking to play Gorillaz
puelocesar··on GitHub Stacked PRs
That’s how I’ve been working for years now. Does anyone know how this gh stacks work internally? Does it do the same thing under the hood?

I’m conflicted about it, seems like a good convenience, but I wouldn’t want my team to get dependent on an exclusive feature of a single provider

puelocesar··on Apple's accidental moat: How the "AI Loser" may end up winning
People who care about privacy (very very few) use signal, everyone else uses Whatsup
puelocesar··on Iran demands Bitcoin fees for ships passing Hormuz during ceasefire
TIL about one more time Israel was invading it's neighbors..
puelocesar··on Women were never meant to give birth on their backs
I think you are being a bit hysterical and trying to find an issue where there’s none.

The article is just trying to find an historical explanation on why something so inefficient became norm in modern civilization, there’s no sexism here…

puelocesar··on AI got the blame for the Iran school bombing. The truth is more worrying
> Knowing the demographics of this website

Any chance of elaborating on that? I’m new here, so I don’t get it

puelocesar··on MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max
There's some numbers here: https://www.tomshardware.com/laptops/macbooks/apple-macbook-...

But I think they are comparing the wrong values, as Xcode 26 seems to run the benchmark slower than Xcode 16

puelocesar··on A sane but bull case on Clawdbot / OpenClaw
Now I think you touched the perfect point on why this is being shoved through our throats, and why I'm very reticent in using it.

This is not about big increases of productivity, this is whole thing about selling dependence on privately controlled, closed source tools. To concentrate even more power in the hands of a very few, morally questionable people.

puelocesar··on Outsourcing thinking
No thinking allowed! Only vibes

(I don’t have the link to the video, but hopefully someone else remembers this joke)
