For the tyrants fear your might!

Don't cling so hard to your possessions

For you have nothing if you have no rights!

Let racist ignorance be ended

For respect makes the empires fall!

Freedom is merely privilege extended

Unless enjoyed by one and all

[Chorus]

So come brothers and sisters

For the struggle carries on

The Internationale

Unites the world in song

So comrades, come rally

For this is the time and place!

The international ideal

Unites the human race

[Verse 2] Let no one build walls to divide us

Walls of hatred nor walls of stone

Come greet the dawn and stand beside us

We'll live together or we'll die alone

In our world poisoned by exploitation

Those who have taken, now they must give!

And end the vanity of nations

We've but one Earth on which to live

The capex vs opex theatre is just stupid economics and bad generalization from wall street types.

Almost nothing of it is really real.

And your analogy may impress other glorified salesman, but it doesn't hold water for a second, electricity is fungible, computing is not, electricity is stateless, you computing infrastructure carries your data. Power consumption generally is not a competitive differentiator,computing often is. And of course, the economics IN THE FUCKING REAL WORLD is broken: It is very hard to compete with the prices of the grid, not so in the modern cloud world where hyperscalers captured market enough to feel free to start extracting monopolistic rent from their consumers. And even the premise is uninformed, heavy industry frequently resorts to co-generation, and now, ironically, even data centers projects are exploring it.

The difference is that usually homes in latin america have big fences and gates at front, so lawns are private spaces, and not the private as property but not in the privacy sense as in America.

If it generates alternating current, you call it an alternator.

If it generates continuous current, you call it a generator.

Be sure you know what you're talking about before trying to be pedantic.

Just make sure I don’t run the risk of exposing my sophisticated Italian descended taste buds to some trash soy-based simulacra product due to deceptive packaging and I really don’t care if they call it cheese, milk or whatever.

I know another thing that gives you the same (fake) feeling: Cocaine.

I stubbornly refuse to let the LLM design. I can discuss my design with it, I can even completely discard it, but I am not fucking writing reams of natural language.

And know what? I don't think I am less productive than my "looping" colleagues, because, well, code is way less ambiguous than natural language, a validation rule in code can usually be expressed more economically in a programming language than in english prose. It is easier to create a directory and file layout, sprinkle some declarations here in there than it is to EXPLAIN how the flow of dependencies go. It is easier for me to create a hook because I want users of a certain module to be able to change its behavior without having to change the source of the module than explaining the OC principle to the LLM and seeing it miserably failing to apply it, because it doesn't have a theory of what it is fucking doing.

And as a side effect, when the 30th day of the month comes, and all the company tokens for the month are used, I can still be productive while others wait for the CTO to negotiate a couple tens of thousands more in API with the CFO.

The ad supported web is, with very few exceptions, useless.
