$6 a gallon is about €1.36 a litre - thats cheap compared to a European average of €2 per litre. Still that makes very clear why Venezuela had to happen before Iran.

It’s the simulation effect - From the perspective of a interstellar travler you too are not meaning different from any other two legged quasi intelligent naked ape. :) Dwarf fortress or rim world solves that by generating personalities.

I don’t understand - Why did they write this? It seems to add nothing to the domain?

I read the free part. Looks interesting, but the math heritage is dominant as promised. It seems to favor the compact and efficient kind of code that is brittle in the hand of a mildly competent junior dev, or a heavy multitasking senior. I

Yea, LLM remove the burden of typing - so if token cost don’t explode the new high-level languages will be above the current - and the new low-level language will maybe just weights…

I feel the same, but still believe there is a way to organize my work to make it happen. It’s more like leading a team of juniors: don’t let them drag you into their private rabbit holes, enable them to implement how ever tiny or big chunk

It would be ok if America would ban Huawei from building national infrastructure - it wouldn’t be very capitalistic tho. But it is down right evil to impose extraterritorial sanctions against a company and preventing other to do business wi

Indeed! After all we live in a world where many ssl private certificates are only protected by OS file system rights on a internet facing server. And clear text database passwords in config files are common, in all content management system

I did not know such thing is possible. very cool! thx for pointing it out! :) but still..some rhetorical questions: Is KMS based on this concept? Is it's implementation open sourced? Is it verified to run unchanged in the instance I pa

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think there is no secure way to store stuff in an virtual environment. I wish I am wrong - cause my heart always bleeds if I see db passwords in configuration files! But As long as there is a hypervis
