Roll your own entropy.

Truck drivers making more than junior software developers is a great thing. If there aren’t people lined up to do the job it should pay commensurate with the need. Same will happen for more blue collar jobs as more older people leave the workforce. Jobs that require you to be away from home or endure shitty working conditions should pay better too. You can’t ship a physical machine or a building to the other side of the planet so cheap foreign labor can maintain them. The locals who acquire the skills to do that work and are willing to suffer the working conditions should be paid well for their troubles. And they will.

You didn’t need to see this video to predict this is the type of women she is. You could just as easily predict every other opinion she has based on her gender, her circumstances, and where she lives. They are tediously unoriginal.

1) At 23 minutes Peter talks about how ChatGPT wrote his non-discrimination policy for him. 2) From 33-47 minutes Peter used the mention of Andrew Tate to virtue signal filibuster while completely ignoring the point. 3) At 47 minutes he explains how carefully he has to censor himself given the public position he has put himself in. 4) At 49 minutes he says he doesn’t want people to think he is Alex Jones. The last time I watched him when he had the two academic commies on he said he was eventually going to move his podcast away from Bitcoin as the subject. I wonder why so many bitcoiners find him insufferable?

It was their feelings that led to this and when they decide their new feelings are the highest priority things will get spicy. Single women vote for this until they don’t. When they decide they want the cops to make them feel safe again, the backlash will be severe. They will eventually call for the state to “bring them to heel” as Hillary Clinton once put it.

If you have 20M rows in a table that all need to be updated one at a time and it takes 20 hours to do them single threaded, just run 120 threads and get them updated in about 12 minutes. Simple.

I need to write some multithreaded code and I’m dragging my feet.

They created the problem with their idiotic climate hysteria and the policies meant to solve their imaginary problems (CAFE) and now they will use the consequences of those policies as justification for making personal transportation even more unaffordable. You will own nothing and they don’t give a fuck if you are happy about that.

I just found out Bram Moolenaar (creator of Vim) recently died. Vim helped save my career. I used to have a terrible time with RSI in my hands and wrists when using a mouse to navigate IDEs 8+ hours a day. Vim let me work with my fingers on the home row all day and that’s exactly what I needed. I started using Vim about the time I started my business when I was regularly working 100 hours a week. I literally wouldn’t have been able to keep doing that without Vim. The fact that I can still occasionally work 100+ hours in a week like I did this week 15 years later is a testament to just how much Vim has improved my life. We’re reaching that point in the history of OSS when we will be losing many of the greats more frequently. I hope Bram got to occasionally experience how much of an impact he had on the world and I hope that he felt his contribution was appreciated and that the time he spent working on Vim was worth it. Rest in Peace Bram. You will be missed.

Can you spell PPP and ERC? That latest uptick explains the $30B+ monthly run rate for the Employee Retention Credit scam that Danielle DiMartino Booth has been talking about for quite a while now.

Whatever it is, it’s interesting to watch this develop.

He’s far too stupid to handle the attention his dad’s fame granted him. But he also lacks the humility to understand that. 🤷‍♂️

Look at the correlation between English speakers who can’t regularly see the stars vs those who can. That’s how the psyop works.

A constitutional amendment to make the full retirement age the legal limit for eligibility to run for any public office.

They have an impressive ESG score and their diversity is 🤌

Living far from the bleeding edge in Linux land is the sweet spot. Let other people sand down all the rough edges before you ever get to them when you are trying to operate software that needs to run without drama. LTS FTW!

If you force all your coworkers to accommodate your unique blend of mental illness every workday, how many of those coworkers will recommend you for a job in the future or hire you if they become hiring managers or business owners? Narcissism is not a trait the best coworkers look for in people they want to work with again. Good luck working with the worst coworkers you have ever had for the rest of your career.

I have many problems with RFK Jr. and his positions, but I welcome the discussion on sound money and the use of fiat to fund the endless wars. If you haven’t read Judy Shelton’s paper on gold backed bonds it’s worth a read. I’d bet RFK and his team have read it and her other writings on the subject.

Something has gone terribly wrong with the world’s monetary system. It’s evident that some kind of fundamental reform needs to be implemented. ...

She credits Alan Greenspan, of all people, and an article he wrote in the WSJ in 1981 as the inspiration for the idea.

Llama2 is open source and available for commercial use except for existing big tech companies and I love that. Zuck thinks he can outcompete or acquire anyone who uses it to build anything that takes off, and maybe he can. But fuck the existing entrenched players anyway.

Ever notice how commercial appliances still last for years and are economical to repair while residential appliances break after a few years no matter how much you spend on them? Funny how that works.
