Dude. If I was as high you clearly are, I wouldn't be wasting my time on Slashdot. It's Friday!

The UN and other groups keep talking about "carbon removal" like it's a real thing, when we basically have no idea how to do it, don't have the resources to do it at scale, and have limited understanding of the impacts of overshoot. It's a mythical creature invented by fossil fuel interests to put off net zero as long as possible, and anyone talking about it is not serious.

The Musk reality distortion field will envelope true believers, and permit them to travel to the Hale Bopp origin point at Warp 10. Manny are already well in their way!

I really wish that Linux had made the switch to TAI when they changed off 32-bit time. It would have been a little more work at that point to bite the bullet and fix all the little issues instead of doing the simplest thing.

Wish we had changed Unix seconds to TAI instead of UTC when dropping 32-bit... Who cares where the stars are.

You have an awful lot of faith in the truthfulness of companies that took the work of millions without compensation to create artificial gangs that commit crimes on their behalf.

Within 10 years, computer will be twice as useful, ten thousand times larger, and so expensive that only the 5 richest kings of Europe will own them

I thought broadband wasn't a public utility. Why are we even allowing them access to public right of way or private property? They should have to pay for that access.

It might be worse than that. I've heard that Canadian Geese are Canadian first, and geese second. This may be a Battle of Algiers moment.

Do you work for a company that has been asked to pay extra so that the packets you are already paying to send reach your customers who have also already paid to be on the Internet?

Zounds, such scumm!

I used to think like this. But I've come to realize that editing, whether by a professional or an AI, is a good thing. It flags when I think I'm being clear, but I'm not. Sometimes that's as simple as reworking a sentence to be less verbose, but other times a simple edit can indicate that the entire paragraph is confusing. LLMs can be quite helpful here, because you can actually ask them what they understand, and they'll give you a good idea of what your readers are actually reading. Even when you are a good writer, it helps to understand what people are actually taking in. A good editor will do this, as will teaching students, but an AI will do it with you all day without complaint and without embarrassment.

Google still works for this sort of thing, even if you've surrendered your common sense to the Callaway Caligula. If you don't like these examples, just search for "emoluments" or "self-dealing" , or "injunction".

Because the point of Rust is that it's safe by design. In other words, once you've figured out how to structure your program to make it not do unsafe things, you have a design you can just implement in C and (as long as it's a faithful implementation), and it will also be guaranteed to be safe. The only reason not to is that maintenance is harder that way. It also shows that Rust has to many limits because code that is provably safe by a human cannot be written in Rust without a redesign to meet Rust's more limited understanding of safe.

Are they talking to you right now?
