JIT gives you almost native performance. AI rewriting tools give you none of the knowledge of running the thing in production. A couple of noticeable mishaps could cost more than halving your fleet saves.
The old unmaintained ISDN hardware for which the code has been removed is likely 20 years old, or so. The perfectly good laptops are usually 3-4 times younger.
> the fossil record in this area comprises both extant and extinct deep-diving beaked whales. Isotopic dating shows that whale falls in this region have occurred since at least 5.3 million years ago
So this look less like an organized cemetery, and more like Mt Everest, also littered by bones of the less fortunate adventurers.
SpaceX serves a large market that was underserved, via Starlink, and via satellite launches.
There's nothing comparably easy (for some values of "easy") to monetize underwater, except in shallow places like the continental shelves, and these areas are already being heavily developed (oil, wind).
There are many, many wonders deep underwater, but they are mostly not commercially interesting, alas.
Only when we have reached the far reaches of this planet, life as it used to be will cease to exist. Some may argue that it's the natural course of the universe but others would argue that a paradise should be left untouched when found, as it may be the only one.
And we were able to able to kill people with projectiles before we had guns but ffs we don't use that to shut down every conversation about what guns can do.
Peruse tvtropes.com enough, and you will realize that nothing is ever original, everything follows this or that long-established pattern, and complaining about that is another old trope.
More seriously, I like the fact that articles follow a particular scheme: the problem, exposition, conflict, contemplation. Much like a scientific article follows a similar established pattern.
And emotionally now: complaints about slop are often as schematic as the slop.

ah, the ol' "I'm rubber, you're glue" approach to solving problems. Worked so well for our billionairs and politicians, we should apply it to every interaction in our daily lives.
The US administration restricting the use of US-trained models is one of the best gifts it could make to the Chinese LLM producers, and to the PRC government.
It's funny how the acceleration of the downfall of the US (due to trump) is a gift to everyone else. It's almost as if US didn't have as postitive impact on the world as they thought.
A gift to [every dictatorial regime]. It's not a gift to the common people. The hundreds of thousands of people who got aids, and wouldn't have if not for Trumps withdrawal, didn't benefit. The women of Afghanistan didn't benefit. The countries of the EU... Canada... Korea... Taiwan... Ukraine... really just about any democracy didn't benefit.
The downfall of the US benefiting bad people is not evidence that the US didn't have a positive impact.
I think EU is benefitting massively from US losing the capacity to hobble it while pretending to be friendly. Ukraine is doing better than ever. And how US harmed Ukrainian efforts because they were scared of their own made up boogieman they turnd russia into during cold war is well documented.
Canda, Korea and Taiwan also benefit from US showing their true colors. Now at least they know what's real and what was fiction and can plan better for themselves.
I won’t forgive Biden for not reversing more of trumps policies, especially immigration
Between RBJ refusing to step down, Biden not reversing immigration policy, and Biden refusing to step down in the primary until too late, he’s going to go down as a poor president in the history books - even if he wasn’t a bad dude or even bad in terms of policy.
Trump was also getting senile before they attempted to assassinate him. Hatred of his enemies gave him another 5 years of energy. Very frustrating, because he absolutly was doing word salad nonsense like this regularly before someone tried to shoot him:
"Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible." - Donald Trump, 2016
Technically his material support to a genocide makes him complicit, it would not have been nearly at the scale without US support tens of thousands of women and children were murdered as a direct result of his decisions[1], if international law meant anything we would hang him for that. So no, he was a "bad dude".
