@Gammitin those Matrix cards were just -covered- in components. I remember my G400 MAX was extremely densely populated.

When I was younger I used to read science fiction, some which predicted a post scarcity world where we’d cured diseases and aging while others predicted technology powered dystopian police states.

When you see a budget with $4B for curing cancer and $170B for mass deportations & detention centers, it’s clear which future America has chosen.

Happy 4th of July.

Happy 4th of July Independence Day!

@jwcph because they think in three years it'll be over because by then he's gone.

@brainwagon whaaaat.

I've read the article on Wikipedia several times but somehow not picked up on that even though it states it is a "test scene designed to evaluate the accuracy of rendering software by comparing a rendered image with a photograph of a real-world model". It's the first sentence for crying out loud. (:

Giving up programming because of the advent of LLMs is like giving up woodworking because Harbor Freight introduced a line of guard-less radial arm saws.

At work I've de facto taken over a codebase of questionable quality.
I noticed a bug the other day where the RTC would stop incrementing -- which worked recentlish -- and after a brief bisection I traced it to a commit which switched two PIOs from SW bit banging to hw PWM.

Please send help.

What in the goddamn fuck

I wonder if Unity has realized that what they really just did was create a strong incentive to never create a Unity project again. Only open the old ones so you can close them out. No new ones needed

Last week I presented over at @joyofcoding on energy efficient programming & design. At some point a video might become available, but here are my annotated slides which also tell the story. Includes lots of data! https://berthub.eu/joc/with-notes.pdf

@mihamarkic @randahl not during his term, obviously, because this isn't a banana republic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poul_Schl%C3%BCter

He was often referred to, and not in a positive way, as "the perfume seller" because I think he'd worked in that line of business once.

@randahl he's not the first head of state to also have sold perfumes. (:

The only Sci-Fi story I know that has predicted our current AI present.

@jesper_linnet it's peculiar, because this seems like one of those things that happens all the time in commercial software made by people who don't use it themselves, so no one really cares or notices. You almost never see stuff like this in open source because.

A Firefox update seems to have rolled out which adds yet another icon to the menu bar which means the address line is now barely visible.
I wonder how someone made this, looked at it, and thought: "This is an improvement."
