@inthehands @aredridel how is this possible without funding? Who is paying them?

RE: https://social.lol/@cote/116350376585393308

I am neither entertained nor amused

@marcylunya @hj @catsalad Jean Luc “Floofymaster” Picard approves

@MsMadLemon thank you for all the cool stuff you do with Amiga

I grew up with Apple ][ and C64… having some remind me of the power and grace of those small machines warms my heart.

Thank you!

ICE agents surrounded a Rhode Island judge’s car, threatening to smash his windows to get to the high school intern he was protecting. This shocking standoff was no simple mistake. Our report reveals the dark ideology and systemic rot within ICE that made this “attempted kidnapping” inevitable.

We are now measuring computer in gigawatts. https://www.wheresyoured.at/openai-onetrillion/

The human brain consumes 20 watts of power.

A gigawatt of compute is the same as the entire population of California.

Unless a gigawatt of compute will yield the combined output of silicon valley and Hollywood, it’s a bad trade off

@ryansingel @quinn @linuxfiend this not true.

I convinced twitter to use scala. I put the first scala in production at twitter.

I did not receive anything close to $10m

@ryansingel @quinn @linuxfiend Chris was a VPE brought over from salesforce (he was aniti scala at SF) way after (4+ years) the scala based backend was designed and implemented

Yes, there was a fair amount of scala vs java at the time… but there was no support for Ruby after October 2008

We are looking to build a history and searchable database of all the discussions in all the pull requests across our repositories.

Are there tools that do this?

Please boost for visibility

@MsMadLemon my condolences

@MsMadLemon Jean luc is pleased

@MsMadLemon yum! And “did you bring enough for the whole class?”

@Gargron both @floof and @thurgood send purrs and play to the kittens!
