Apparently Factorio can actually heavily tax GPUs because everything is 2D and not a single 3D asset it can cache and render from.

But it can take decades for 3D to catch up to 2D - Warcraft 3 looked much worse than StarCraft imo, and it wasn’t until SC2 that it finally looked as good or better.

If the Pamper's app is anything to go by, the QR codes will fail to be read, and the older "text recognition of the printed code" will keep working.

If they sell every CPU they can make there’s not much headroom to make more

The ones I've seen pretty clearly had some of the motion/change defined by the time. We're so fucked.

There's an off-color joke that could be made here but the real question is the speed of change - we gloss over it but there have been major changes that took centuries, and others that were quite fast, this one seems to be closer to the fast end.

Devs: No Fun Allowed!

Michael Hendricks: Next time ...

It’s the emphasis - one is an attack that involves the death of the attacker, the other is someone killing themselves as the main goal.

“Taking everyone with you” is a perverse form of the latter perversion.

The dynamic between speed and energy was already interesting and counter-intuitive (often you wanted efficiency even though slower, because it greatly reduced POWER needs which could decrease your base size significantly).

Golden Goat cannot handle permissions requests when you’re away from your desk - which is easy to trigger with remote control of agents.

At least it’ll be Webscale.

It’s an obvious joke and not a terribly bad one, for those ease spelling bee comeback times.

And all the good locations are already taken.

Hey, at least the USA has curb cuts

The key is that land is accidental in a way - people don’t want “land” per se they want to DO something with the land - and if the valuations are high enough you get multiple uses.

The reality is that in the vast majority of places the valuations just aren’t there.

Claude providing an AI summary of Claudes laughing at Claudes and their users is ... I don't actually know what it is, but it's certainly something.

Remember kids, with 5.5 you need to say make no fucking mistakes.

"Doing policymaker's work for them" is something like 80% of lobbying.

If you have something you want done in your town, and you come with the work done AND not asking for funding, you're likely to get it.

If you come with the work done and a PLAN for getting the funding, you also have a good chance of success.

I've always wondered - is there "physical mail via API"?

Something like I send details to an endpoint, pay $1/3/5 or whatever, and a letter is mailed?

3D almost certainly involves floating point and uncertainty! It must be anathema.

Reporting the issue with mods to the team will likely get them to fix something - they're that performance oriented.

Many of those ISOs end up on archive.org if you dig around.

Memories of the ISO mounting program I had; so nice for all the disks to live on the server and just be mounted when needed.

Also if the family has some addicted to “normal” drugs it’s acceptable; but if they get fentanyl from you and die the next mafia family reunion will be spicy.

“Selling the brand” or whatever it’s called. Lots of money to be made.

All I remember with Joomla! is that it was really, really susceptible to the “plugin we use is abandoned and not updated and the new version of core is completely incompatible” causing everyone to run various out of date packages with stupid security layered on top. Web application firewalls are an abomination.

Joomla makes WP look like Fort Knox.

My assumption is that any Wordpress setup whatsoever allows anyone to execute code remotely.

Figure out what you need, get the final quote, and go silent.

Eventually they’ll come back and have some impressive sounding exec reply saying they need 20% less to get it in the budget.

and keep workin'

That’s exactly what enterprise sales is. Call for pricing, tell the absolute upper limit you can spend, and pay.

The old days the cars would rust and take the frame with it (I've literally had them get so bad they basically folded up) - modern vehicles will stay pretty darn decent until the first time the paint gets broken, then it'll begin - but the unibody usually lasts quite a long time.

You have to be so uptight about performance when you're small that people look at you funny, or your shit is going to fall right over under webscale (ai scale?) load.
