AI->Cocaine replacement, in which AI really is God's way of telling you you have too much money

originally old soviet/post-soviet saying but highly applicable here also

it was entirely to appease Wall Street and not in any way because they had a product, let alone one consumers would be interested in

you lucky

speaking as someone who uses bash all the time, it's a fully equipped programming language and you absolutely should not use it as one because it's made of footbullets. Use Python. For extra sysadmin flavour, make it a Python script that does all the hard bits with a system call to bash.

dunno about mechanism, but as someone absolutely fried by ADHD i can tell you there's no nap as sweet as the nap after your third coffee of the day.

many ideas cribbed from rants by our valued comrade @fasterandworse, who rants about Hooked at the slightest provocation

fly.io is closed source, of course he's not gonna show you the engineering excellence. trust me bro, you fool, you poltroon,

this is the one who pinged me to see if i could tell her about using Urbit a while back

this is PsiQuantum, who are hot prospects to build an actually-quantum computer

no, they have not yet factored 35

but they are seriously planning qubits on a wafer and they think they can make a chip with 1m noisy qubits

anyone know more about this? does that preprint (from last year) pass sniff tests?

(my interest is journalistic, and also the first of these companies to factor 35 gets all the VC money ever)

i really don't care, you fuckin weirdo
