Ah yeah, lesswrong. The "human biodiversity", crypto scam, and polycule murder cult people. Why anyone would take those clowns seriously is a mystery to me.

That's just what you have to do to get any kind of performance in Haskell because functional programming is pointless.

Is it? I think the comical Euro response to the Nordstream sabotage showed what a joke the continent is.

Yeah it wasn't murder, the tomahawks were just meant to tickle them. We didn't know they had a deadly bomb allergy. Moron.

Well, we ditched books for Google with unknown consequences. Let people work how they want.

France, US/Italy, France/England, Switzerland/England, US, England, US, US, US.

Incredible international representation...

They're giving themselves cover for when they want to and do strike something Chinese (already done after all, they bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade).

Now they can just say it was a "AI mistake" and point to this as having happened again (but this time "it slipped through", like the girls' school in Iran)

> AI is becoming part of how people experience the web every day. We want to make sure that doesn’t mean people are chained to one company’s self-serving pipeline.

Ah yes, the extremely diverse offering of OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Microsoft, and Mistral (a fake "euro" chatbot). Mozilla is truly a "people's" company.

Like Gates saying there should be UBI, or Musk saying... well, whatever.

They know it won't happen, so arguing for it is 'effectively free' and purely personal marketing.

A bullshit game played by politicians and wannabes.

This is some schizo thinking. People you interact with online almost certainly aren't bots or paid.

New comment by okasaki in "Ten Ways NAS Is Getting Enshitified"

okasaki — Sat, 01 Aug 2026 10:56:47 +0000

The primary problem is the cost of drives now IMO.

I've got 16tb drives (in a usb-c DAS, not NAS), and at 2-3 the price that I bought them for I don't plan to replace them when they go.

The data will just be lost, like tears in rain.

Yeah, I don't get it. I think nothing is about the same as getting a generic "unfortunately" email.

And I actually prefer nothing to unsolicited feedback. I don't give a shit about what someone who can't even spell principal thinks about me.

I'd take all of this with a cup of salt due to law enforcement's use of parallel construction in tech cases.

My thinkpad x61 from 2007 runs the latest Ubuntu and software

edit: and has the same amount of ram as the mac neo.

The scam was that the US needed private industry to bootstrap technology that's mostly going to be used for surveillance analysis and building kill matrices.

Not really? If you're caught with burglary tools on private property that's still illegal even if you only took one step.

Likewise if act in a way that makes someone feel that you're going to hit them that's assault regardless of whether you actually ever touch them.

etc. Many such cases.

Next servers might need more power or different cooling. Then your DCs are just big concrete rooms.
