Redoubts··on HRT's Python fork: Leveraging PEP 690 for faster imports
> Right, exactly what I said. They don't make money by market making

“client market making”. That’s very different from “market making”, you two are not in agreement at all here

Redoubts··on Problems the AI industry is not addressing adequately
> However at most half of this increased energy demand is expected to come from renewables through 2030

You know that’s actually very good, right?

> Nuclear energy has long build outs of 10+ years.

Good news is degrowthers have left us with a long list of deactivated plants that can simply be restarted much sooner than that.

Redoubts··on Problems the AI industry is not addressing adequately
Incredibly bizarre take. You can build more capacity without frying the planet. Many ai companies are directly investing in nuclear plants for this reason, for example.
Redoubts··on The Academic Pipeline Stall: Why Industry Must Stand for Academia
> But it ends up often being segregation by another name

This is an outrageous claim, and you haven’t justified it at all, only suggested that you personally benefitted from nepotism; despite the fact that gifted programs have a history of greatly elevating minorities in this country.

And again, you’re ignoring evidence based pedagogy so you can feel better about yourself and chase a false equality

> Are you really trying to argue that conservatives…

Please call me when you’ve met a conservative more recently than 1990

Redoubts··on The Academic Pipeline Stall: Why Industry Must Stand for Academia
People like “science” and “research”, but then fight tooth and nail for removing evidenced backed pedagogy like tracking and gifted programs or phonics; or forcing bad economic ideas like rent control.

Good thing all these absolutely terrible ideas only exist in one party.
