Listening to a report about Google chopping down a quarter of a million trees in Finland to build a data centre while washing out yoghurt pots for the recycling

old iTunes is way better than current iTunes, it's fast, everything is fine, old computers are fine, there's no reason we should have to tolerate what we have in current computers, it's absolutely abusive that this is how things go

All this is AI intelligent stuff is fantastic proof that men’s idea of intelligence is based on how well something convincingly tells them they’re a good boy and does all their busy work for them

This is fucking embarrassing but I swear not everyone working with computers is this stupid

Anthropic's models run on terabytes of VRAM. It's not going to "just copy itself to other computers."

PEOPLE WITH LIBERAL ARTS DEGREES: so while i see there is utility to the system, i’m more or less morally opposed to their current constructs and have big concerns over the business structure and environmental impact WEB CODER: so i met God today,

There is a lot to say about the Nolan Odyssey movie. But one point that I think has not been emphasized enough is: this is a film about living in LA, as Nolan, my erstwhile British compatriot and age mate, has done for years. I gather it’s a strange place.

“You cruel, jealous gods! You bear a grudge whenever any goddess takes a man to sleep with as a lover in her bed. Just so the gods who live at ease were angry when rosy-fingered Dawn took up Orion, and from her golden throne, chaste Artemis attacked and killed him with her gentle arrows.

“Demeter with the cornrows in her hair indulged her own desire, and she made love with Iasion in triple-furrowed fields—till Zeus found out, hurled flashing flame and killed him. So now, you male gods are upset with me for living with a man. A man I saved!”

But I get it, believing that a language model is some kind of new entity that will save us once it gets better in just a few years is a better place to be than acknowledging that a heat wave will kill us

This is a true story. The woman pictured above, Évelyne Dhéliat, has probably done more to raise public awareness about global warming in France with this one stunt than many governments and medias. ps: the map created in 2014 depicted August 2050—not even June (2026).

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

I just want to push back against the notion that we should stop doing things that machines do better and focus on what we do better. Fair, but people take painting lessons or tennis lessons or whatever without dreaming of becoming good professional, just from sheer will, and that’s fine too

I had to get it out because lately people does ask «why are you doing that?» often and I’m sick of it. Because I want to shall be enough (unless I’m doing something horribly immoral, of course). OK cheers 😅

Sure they can vomit functional code faster, but lots of us didn’t get into the field to do that. Writing pretty code is part of the fun, and if you ask me, a lot of the code generated by Claude is super ugly, so I’m going to keep writing my own. Even if at some point Claude makes it pretty too
