@okuu If true, it’s at least a good deterrent to the future stupid motherfuckers that consider sharing classified information with their buddies for kicks.

@LukeAlmighty @Tij Have you ever tried any sandwich with your mustard? It’s pretty good

Of course he’s Guard (weekend warrior)

@verita84 @Lars Army I think. And Snowden was CIA

@LukeAlmighty One thing I will say is that a characteristic of autism is misinterpreting normal behavior as being antagonistic (being too sensitive about some light ribbing that’s just in good fun, for example).

However, you shouldn’t tolerate genuine abuse from someone.

@sjw @scarlet I think it’s the hour system that made it a problem. You still want creators who put out good work to get paid.

This is exactly the sort of thing that makes me hate gun regulations. Seeing that someone owns a gun is only a valid pretext for an inspection because of a law passed in the wake of the colossal disaster that was the 18th Amendment that somehow hasn’t been thrown out in court yet despite clearly infringing on our 2A rights.

It really does say a lot about what a bunch of fucking clowns the Wikipedia editors are, that when someone tried to add an entry to Sam Hyde’s page mentioning he was a Mensa member, not only was that edit denied, but the editors also fucking removed him from the list of notable Mensa members.

@alex @r000t With engineering effort it will be better. Remember, the first release of linux would be considered shit by modern OS standards, but everything ESR pointed out in Cathedral&Bazaar still applies.

Change is happening so fast

@sj_zero Was this on GPT-4? Because 4 is a significant improvement.

Oh damn, turns out they did collide with the reaper

$80 for a 2TB NVMe drive, damn these are getting cheap.

@crunklord420 It’s worth noting that prices are depressed due to an oversupply issue (COVID demand surge has run its course, new CPU/GPU offerings aren’t really a great value proposition, etc.), so it could rebound in a couple quarters, but you’re right that $/byte is getting really close.

Price floor on spinning rust is around $15/TB, this is only $40/TB, and you get massive performance uplift, massive (%) reduction in power requirements, massive density uplift, etc. At what point do you just go SSD-only?

@caekislove @crunklord420 For this especially, most people will do just fine with 2TB. I’ve been fine on 1TB and the only real limitation is having to clear out old games after I stop playing them.
