[00:22] IsambardPrince "People tend to get better at what they do with age. In the tech industry, they take the most capable programmers and fire them, places like Microsoft, Apple, Google, and Intel do, and throw them out like garbage in layoffs that are routine now, and they bring in a bunch of kids who don't know what in the hell they're doing. Kids and H1-B visas, and you get a total freaking mess. The codebase rots because you replace skill with

[00:24] IsambardPrince "Companies turn into Ponzi Schemes insisting that code will write itself, with things like Microsoft CoPilot, which trains by violating other people's copyright licenses, and still emits broken garbage, and encourages others to commit plagiarism. It's more like license stripping than AI."

[03:08] IsambardPrince schestowitz-pi, Indiana is going to invest public pensions in Bitcoins.
[03:08] IsambardPrince "INDIANAPOLIS A group of Indiana Republicans are wanting the state to begin exploring the investment of state funds in Bitcoin.
[03:08] IsambardPrince House Bill 1322, a bill surrounding Indianas investment in Bitcoin, was passed by the Indiana House Committee on Government and Regulatory Reform on Monday. The bill is now expected to go to the Indiana House of Representatives floor for further discussion.
[03:08] IsambardPrince Authored by Indiana State Rep. Jake Teshka, a Republican from South Bend, the bill, if passed in its current form, would allow funds held by the public employees retirement fund, the state teachers retirement fund or public officers of the state to be invested in certain Bitcoin exchange-traded funds."

[06:27] IsambardPrince South Korea and India would get hit hardest if Trump does a matching tariff.

[06:32] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], It's likely that MARISOL will be cut.
[06:33] IsambardPrince My guess is that Trump and Musk will move to scrap the Veterans Affairs Hospital network.
[06:33] IsambardPrince There's already a law that says the VA will cover private care if you choose to do that. So all they really need to do is sack everyone who works at the VA hospitals and just switch to a health insurance program for veterans.
[06:34] IsambardPrince Close the hospitals then all they can choose is private doctors and hospitals.
[06:34] IsambardPrince Folding the VA into Medicare and giving them all Medicare cards seems to make the most sense to me honestly.
[06:35] IsambardPrince The federal government could add millions of them to Medicare and supplement the budget accordingly, without running a hospital network.
[06:35] IsambardPrince With millions more people on Medicare, the government would have more power to negotiate pricing.

[06:52] IsambardPrince No IBM.
[06:53] nobody i've not visited McDonalds for almost 10 years, and got confused today the service staff didn't return money
[06:53] IsambardPrince nobody, Yes, I recall in 2008 even, when a double cheeseburger was still only $1.
[06:53] IsambardPrince It had not increased all that much since it was 75 cents in 2000.
[06:53] IsambardPrince Okay, okay, 25% but still.
[06:53] IsambardPrince Now they're $2.89.
[06:54] nobody plus i've went through two currency reforms since 1990
[06:54] IsambardPrince So they've nearly tripled in price since 2008.
[06:54] nobody initially it was 50pens, now it's five-fold the price
[06:54] nobody 30years have passed though
[06:55] IsambardPrince Most of the inflation in the US dollar as it pertains to food price, of the last 50 years, has happened over the last 15 years.
[06:55] nobody accounting for the 1990 currency reform, it is 10fold the price
[06:55] IsambardPrince They claim the 70s were bad, but I don't think they were worse than this.

[07:08] nobody ^ that's another misnomer, typical high-income jobs paid generous taxes, and if such were lost that implied lower "social security" from lower cash flow from taxation
[07:08] nobody when instead, many high-income jobs rely on subsidies, for energy
[07:09] nobody and the productivity as the ratio of work per energy unity is abysmal
[07:12] nobody when instead, "social security" (whichever the regulations were in USA, i knew the german one), such security is relatively low although meanwhile high-income jobs were excessively subsidized
[07:13] nobody a market economy, would have regulated energy pricing to normal, and avoided various excess mal-investments, but it wasn't market economy
[07:16] nobody i think the layoffs to cut spendigns won't be effective, because the energy-subsidy scheme remains that incentivized excess consumption
[07:17] nobody contrary to common believe, the "climate policy" (carbon tax, carbon certificates), subsidize HIGH consumption, and sanction low consumption
[07:18] nobody another utility, was the "climate transformation fund", to route money into "investments", such as "AI", for "digital innovation"

[07:25] nobody although, even when energy and cash were routed into "development aid", it again benefit higher consumption entities (corruption and friction losses)
[07:28] nobody i suspect, what US administration (and too german one with our current election campaigning) can't pull their heads out of the sling of is those subsidy fraud schemes
[07:29] nobody and "market" could not regulate back to normal either, because the disbalances due to mis-guided pricing signals are too severe
[07:29] nobody because, all of the sudden, excess high consumption entities, business, private households would be hit with inflation on energy prices of 1000%, round about at that scale
[07:30] nobody what would Tesla, Nvidia and whichever stock exchange rating be, if the energy subsidies were cut away?

[08:33] IsambardPrince "The most persuasive explanation of these statements is that Hitler, as a politician, simply recognized the practical reality of the world he inhabited ... Had Hitler distanced himself or his movement too much from Christianity it is all but impossible to see how he could ever have been successful in a free election.

[23:17] IsambardPrince God.
[23:17] IsambardPrince Just trying to be funny.
[23:17] IsambardPrince Anyway.
[23:17] IsambardPrince I don't know.
[23:17] nobody what's a swiffer?
[23:18] IsambardPrince It's a battery powered floor mop.
[23:18] IsambardPrince I'm just not having a good day. First I spilled part of a can of coffee. Not much, but enough to be angry about.
[23:19] IsambardPrince So I went to vacuum that up. And when I went to get some water out of the fridge, my water dispenser fell out and broke.
[23:19] IsambardPrince So I wiped the floor up with a towel, and then realized how filthy it was.
[23:20] IsambardPrince So I went to grab the Swiffer and it cleaned the floor, but died when I went to make a second pass.
[23:20] IsambardPrince So I have a rather large Amazon order coming Monday.
[23:21] IsambardPrince Ever since the landlord installed those security cameras, the package thieves have gotten less brazen. Which makes me figure that most of them probably live in the building.
[23:21] nobody not that anyone bothers
[23:22] nobody i've finished comitting the git-workspace with hundreds of builds for tinycc/static-linking support
[23:23] nobody sanitized, no-c++ dependencies, musl-1.1 and musl-1.2 both work with linux2.4 abi now
[23:24] nobody i'll fully fork the portage tree itself, instead of keeping it as overlay for portage
[23:25] nobody because, of those ~500builds that got support now, all of them are moved into the overlay already
[23:25] nobody so, i can fully fork away from gentoo
[23:25] nobody including tinycc toolchain-support, which is amazing
[23:26] nobody because this too enables options to support any other alternative toolchain (cproc/qbe and whichever), although i am not interested in this myself
[23:27] nobody it's just good to know, i got a complete system profile that can remain completely independent from GNU-toolchain or llvm/clang
[23:28] nobody and it is mostly up-to-date (i don't sync that often), meaning i got a mostly recent userland spawn atop linux-2.4
[23:30] nobody it's alot of runtime testing needed still, but there is not blocker remaining, it's booting, and the important development utilities do work
[23:31] nobody i could even salvage a gdb, strace with tinycc support;
[23:31] nobody furthermore, i've not notices any relevant runtime-performance degradation of tinycc-compiled binaries
[23:32] nobody the tiny linx2.4 system that i got, is fast and efficient, even on low-end ancient hardware
[23:33] nobody i could continue full source-based development workflow on a single-core 1.5GHz machine now, with 1GiB ram
[23:33] nobody of cause, some old thin-client is a little beefier, 4x1.5GHz and 4GiB RAM, that's lighting fast to develop with tinycc
[23:34] nobody for the sake of it, i rebased a few grsecurity things onto linux2.4 too
[23:36] *IsambardPrince has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[23:37] nobody i'll keep linux2.4 in maintenance (for x86/32bit only, i can't test all other arches)
[23:38] nobody all of it is forked now: kernel, toolchain, libc, userland, and gentoo/portage
[23:39] nobody and tbh, i won't miss portage and python, python in particular
[23:40] nobody current situation is, i can't fully remove portage and python yet, but i will; it must be optional at most
