The West Forgot How to Build. Now It's Forgetting Code

The defense industry lost the ability to make weapons when crisis hit. The same pattern is eroding software engineering skills. The timelines are identical.

Elle s’appelle : "Signal"

A surge in new datacenters, each with the power demand of 100,000 households and a cooling water demand of 1,000,000 m³ per year to train AI models on material obtained without consent on hardware now unaffordable to consumers so fascism-adjacent tech billionaires can sell us the idea that any skill is now worthless and in doing so creating the largest economic bubble ever while simultaneously destroying society and environment.

I think that about sums it up.

I wrote a blog post about why we in the photography space *still* complain about Apple's Aperture going away over a decade later.

It was a *really* good app.

Daniel Kennett - A Lament For Aperture, The App We'll Never Get Over Losing

I'm an old Mac-head at heart, and I've been using Macs since the mid 1990s (the first Mac I used was an LC II with System 7.1 installed on it). I don't tend to think that the computing experience was better in the olden days — sure, there's a thing to be said about the simplicity of older software, but most of my fondness for those days is nostalgia. An exception to that, however, is Apple's Aperture.

Fils : c'est peut-être les aliens qui assaisonnent la Terre avant de nous manger."
