just finally start treating them as terrorists and airstrike them.
Zoadian··on Kimi K2.7-Code: open-source coding model with better token efficiency
price/token isnt the only thing relevant. if you have to ask the AI again, it'll cost you more than when it gets things right in the first place.

so better models may still be cheaper even if the price per token is higher.

Zoadian··on Germany's Water Consumption Down 17% Following Nuclear Reactor Shutdowns
nonsense. the economy didn't even notice the shutdown. and those plants were more costly to operate than renewables are, so we're enjoying cheaper electricity now. it also wasn't an ecological disaster, in fact it didn't change anything in that regard.
Zoadian··on EU to mobilize 200B Euros to invest in AI

Zoadian··on Next C compiler is a D compiler: Introducing DMD's ImportC
Hey walter, have you thought about adding first class types to the language? that would enable us to use CTFE for type based algorithms instead of templates like std.meta. If you did, what are the reasons against them?

Zoadian··on Intel and the $1.5T chip industry meltdown
it's not racism. sure chinese could develope all these things on their own. but you need to realize, they'd have to produces the machines that produces the machines that produce the machines... first. all this 'high tech' stuff is _really_ hrd to make. it would take a ton of money invested to even get to current tech levels. and tech advances pretty fast.
Zoadian··on Korean nuclear fusion reactor achieves 100M°C for 30 seconds
compare it to the space program. that didn't really have any directly useable goal. but the technology produced in the process is used everywhere. DT fusion may or may not work. maybe the problems may get solved some day, maybe not. we'll never know if we don't try. and the technology we get in the process is valueable regardless.

Zoadian··on Fire extinguished at Ukraine nuclear power plant, Europe's largest
it's not the nukes itself that would kill. it's the nuklear winter. with highly reduced sunlight this planet will become a freezing hell. no plants -> no food
Zoadian··on Write shitty code
the best way to write code is: write code that you can delete without any effects on the rest of the program. and keep all related code as close as possible together in the source code. Also keep mutations as far up the call stack as possible. use pure functions whereever possible.
Zoadian··on Self-isolation is feeding my Warhammer addiction
expensive hobby compared to what? for a hobby it really isn't that expensive at all.
