Btw, this is absolutely not what this system is supposed to be used for. I was halfway through a roundabout when everything started screaming through CarPlay at full blast like the nuclear deterrent had failed. Nearly forged a brand new exit onto someone’s driveway. Government: “Grass bit dry, innit?”

@Cobratate Can't you ask for the prison clothes instead, maybe he'll stop screaming?

@_DPD_DeliveryUK You must be the most useless delivery company in this country. I've got a 'missed' delivery notification and a random picture of a hedge. I was in the front garden and no driver was even close to my house. It's also impossible talking to a human in your useless app. Can you please advise your fucking driver to come back and deliver my fucking parcel properly? Are there any humans left in your company where I could file a complaint?

@ZacksJerryRig - now, had you asked about the actual elephant in the room, I’d have been on your side. How are they planning to plug the thing in? Aren’t they just gonna end up wrapping the Earth in one giant cable as it orbits?

You have zero reason to post something this stupid when you’re surrounded by LLMs. Surely it’s not engagement bait from him, hence it can only mean one other thing… A vacuum only stops convection and conduction. Not radiation. Zack, wait til you learn why you’re warm when there’s no clouds and what travels 150 million km of vacuum.

You know the reason your Stanley or Hydroflask is so good at keeping your water cold is because there's a vacuum inside the walls of the thermos. Heat can't conduct in a vaccum. And "radiated" heat is ineffective at the temperatures processors operate at. This satellite

Also the irony of your flask example demonstrates the exact opposite of what you’re arguing. High quality vacuum flasks also have shiny reflective inner surfaces, to reduce radiative heat transfer as well.

@JoshuaNewton @Dyson I’ve been getting them for probably more than a year now from Ocado. One of the best strawberries I’ve ever had. ocado.com/products/dyson…

@lisyarus @ChShersh Yeah, ODR rules are relaxed for templates but they're not actually inlined. You can still hint the compiler to inline it though. And it can still ignore you :)

@lemire That only works if people use AI to challenge themselves and not use it to confirm what they already believe. Most use it like Google: "tell me all the ways I'm right". I'm afraid AI won't fix lack of curiosity, just scale it.

@valigo That's how they get you, with just "one Mac for dev". Next thing you know you debug on your Mac, test on your iPhone, considering an iPad 'for sidecar' and somehow you own AirPods you don't even remember buying. Good luck stopping at one 😀

@neogoose_btw You'd pretty much struggle to beat Hetzner. Dedicated machines start from $40+ with good specs and no other fees.

CPU gains are real. It’s just that apps got heavier faster than CPUs got faster. We went from tight native apps to shipping a glorified website within a whole browser (hi Electron) or a system WebView that layers React + 1024 libs. JS engines (V8, etc.) are insanely fast now, nobody's denying it. But it's the constant re-renders, huge DOMs, background syncing everything all the time. V8 improvements don't make it all go away, they just make more headroom to pile on crap and spend less time on optimising for efficiency, whilst optimising for shipping speed. tl;dr - your argument is valid but we can't cut slop slack. CPUs improved, discipline didn't.
