So many chunks of internet history is going straight to the bin thanks to this.

It’s probably old farts making decisions based what they learned from “the good old days”. For many Japanese, that was the 80s. This means over-attachment to analog methods and physical objects. It’s cultural inertia that won’t phase out quickly.

There has to be a cultural shift as well. It’s not the early 2000s anymore where a substantial portion of internet users could tinker around their desktop computers. I recently got fiber at home and we’re locked behind CGNAT. I could look for a solution for myself since I grew up opening ports on my router, but imagine someone who grew up with bubble-wrapped smartphones trying to navigate their way through that bs.

I’m can’t believe I’m considering purchasing another GPU just so I don’t have to depend on OpenAI or anyone toying around with the models.

It’s almost funny considering how crucial that difference is in the field.

This quote was meant to give hope, but I’m now dreading the literal implications of this. Americans will renounce to the idea of maximizing shareholder’s value for the next quarter only after exhausting all other options that don’t have to. By then, however, we’ll live in a world engulfed in climate change going haywire and a shell of a world power that is barely sustaining itself, if not collapsed. Our American friends don’t deserve this. No one deserves this.

I’ve been checking Esperanto now and then occasionally. Never got deep into it. Each conlang has its purpose, and Esperanto is a fascinating reflection of the era it was born from.

I remember reading about an attempt to raise a child speaking Klingon but had to stop because they didn’t find words for mundane daily objects.

Choice, huh? I can’t choose where the config files are stored unless I am willing to either dig into an obscure setting, modify the source code and recompile (repeat every time there’s an update), or contact the developer’s smug beard using smoke signals.
