Journal Journal: Project Hail Mary 2026 is the dumbest things I have watched in a while 1

The story is really really really really really stupid. Every minute there was another thing, dumber than the one before it. Sure, it is funny sometimes and it is a tragic story but all the elements of it taken separately are idiotic, dumb, moronic. Water based dots that contain more energy than nuclear bombs of their size would while not being so dense, as to weigh hundreds of tons under Earth's gravity. These dots eating our Sun and at the SAME TIME being detected around all stars (but one

As you can imagine I am 100% against communism and any form of socialism. Bezos and everyone else must have property rights not hindered by government, it is his business to run (or his board) and government must not be in position to dictate how any company hires and fires people, who they hire and fire, why, etc.

I fully expect Amazon to close this warehouse, maybe it will be contaminated with something radioactive for example, to make things easier and then it will shut down. Personally I root for the anarcho capitalist solution and wish Amazon to win this battle for its private property rights.

To make her statement illogical, you would need to have evidence to invalidate any studies that established a causative link between the presence of plastics in animal tissue and an increase in disease/mortality.

No. To make it illogical, all I would have to do is to show that the only way to get to zero is to get rid of plastics. That getting rid of plastics would result in disease, famine and plague, and wipe out a large part of humanity. That is how you get to ZERO.
Thinking that this is a number that should be aimed for is retarded. We should care about the levels. We should care about where in the body we find it and we should care about finding out what levels cause what problems.
More facts, more science, less proselytizing.

How exactly are we going to do that?
That statement is not logical, it is evangelical.
Plastics are an incredibly important, irreplaceable part of our world. If they disappeared, the effect would be catastrophic.
Do I want to be drinking and eating tons of microplastics? No. That seems fucking stupid.
Should be Zero though is the statement of a person doing damage control to push a narrative that might be endangered by a new fact.
This is not even saying that the new measurements will put us at low numbers. It might not.
Anne McNeil here though is worried that the data might make this mountain into a mole hill and running pre interference. That is not science. That is activism.

It really is simple. Rust zealotry is 100 percent fact and provable.
Ubuntu 25.10.
What is a foundational tenet of Linux? "We do not break user-space."
But, we do for Rust. Why? Because Rust MUST move forward at speed. Can't pass tests? Fuck it. Works good enough.
Breaks user-space? Yes, but not all the time and not for most people. We are accepting Rust CoreUtils for no other reason that it must be.
It has been decreed. Ubuntu about CoreUtils is Bill, "Fuck it, we'll do LIVE!".
Large performance hiccups, failing tests? Does not matter. Pushing it live will bring the issues to light and we can fix it all over time.
What? That is not how this has ever worked. We do not break user-space. Especially on purpose so we can speed up Rust development.
Rust replacements should exist. Rust replacements should make there way into the systems we are using every day to make things more secure. Rust replacements should work though and not break user-space. If is not an acceptable replacement if it were written in C, then it is not one just because it is written in Rust. Real commands, real scripts, real jobs fail. Anything that works as a drop in replacement should be accepted. (Preferably because it is provably better, not just, "Written in Rust though!". Anything that does not, should not be a default in the release and should stay in the background, getting better till it is ready.

Anything other than that is religious zeal, not making a better Linux.

I see no evidence of that "religion" of which you speak.

Is that evidence enough? "We do not break user-space."
Unless it is to implement Rust based tools in spite of knowing that they fail tests and break user-space. KNOWINGLY
There is definitely a problem. Not with creating Rust. Not with replacing things that can be replaced.
When thought, they knowingly break a foundational rule to implement their religion, it makes the point.
