I got the largest metal map and created a basically impenetrable base, and then left the game running overnight. It turned into a huge battle between the highest level of units and it was so much fun, but even then the AI wasn't extrem

TA is my most favorite game of all time. I bought it on Steam and got all the modern Escalation mods. I will spin it up every 6 months or so and play a new game just for fun, I just with the AI were more challenging.

As someone that has pretty powerful desktop that I've been using with local open weight models, people are far exaggerating the quality of them. Some of them are now useful. They don't compare yet to the online models of ChatGPT,

Cutting military should be done, yes. But everything needs to get cut.

This is what happens when we are $40 Trillion in debt. I'm sorry that scientific projects are being cut but are we supposed to keep funding everything ad infinitum regardless of how our economy and our future is going to be crippled by

If I were a trillionaire like Elon Musk, Bill Watterson would be one of those people I would anonymous gift enough money so that the rest of their lives would be comfortable. We need more people like him, and he should be rewarded for it.

LinkedIn is a cesspool of scams now. They know there's a high degree of fraud and they don't do anything about it. They don't care. I've gotten tricked into sending my resume and talking on the phone with legitimate look

A cartoon purporting to know the localized temperatures around the world going back 20,000 years is not science.

Nothing you wrote refutes anything that I said. Comparing actual historical temperatures to speculative temperatures where no models have been accurate isn't science.

My source of climate skepticisms is based on the following: 1) We know that the Earth was much warmer in the past, including the Medieval Warming Period. We know that the Alps were warm enough so that the Iceman could pass through them with

There is a lawsuit against xAI about those datacenters. They have a strong case that Musk is clearly flouting environmental laws. If they are able to get a preliminary injunction against the datacenters, then they are dead in the water. Tha

"Search" is a ridiculous thing to be doing post-2022. Imagine going to a doctor and asking them a question, and they give you 5 printouts for your to read through to synthesize your own answer. Imagine you asked your spouse a ques

I have gotten so many fake recruiter contacts, it's not funny. At this point I don't know who is real and who is fake. I talked to real recruiters at Big Tech companies and they said their entire profiles have been fraudulently co

I interviewed at Microsoft in Redmond in 1997 and got zero programming questions. They were all knowledge-based or brain-teaser questions so I don't know if I believe that they gave 4 programming questions in 1994.

That's where the scam is. They sell to their pension fund and mutual fund buddies, and in return when they get a really good deal, those funds will be first in line. It's a scratch-my-back-scratch-yours kind of deal that is utterl

My point was that someone I've known for my entire life, I earn more than them through my bonus than they make working an entire year. This is a personal connection. The amount of money I make in Silicon Valley is enormous compared to

I don't understand your injection of your own morality into my statement, it is completely orthogonal to my point.

I'm sorry but is this an article from the late 1990s? I'm also from Canada and I know tons of Canadians that have come here since the 90s. I even known immigrants to Canada from other countries (mainly China and India) that came t

Since January, I've been lucky and picking up various used DDR4 memory sticks for cheap-ish. I got a total of 64 GB for $180. I feel like I hit the jackpot!

No, you're wrong. You can lose their Green Card. If you leave the country for more than 6 months, you need to seek prior approval, and you definitely can lose it. I was on Green Card and when I crossed the border, I was questioned by t

Your experience wasn't nonsense. Your expectations are nonsense. If you think immigrating to another country should be straightforward and easy, then it's your expectations that are wrong. I also immigrated to the US and it was ju
