Programming, retrocomputing
I was sharing my surprise with a colleague about how, with a 16-core M3 Pro CPU, macOS' Settings app somehow manages to take half a second to switch between tabs, and he goes "well you have a lot of apps open"
Do people really have no notion of how _crazy fast_ modern computers are?
(btw, switching sections in the Gnome settings - in a VM no less - was instant)
It's funny how in Hadestown's Papers song, when Hermes goes "Orpheus was a poor boy" for the Nth time in the show, Hades talks right over him, as if to say "WE KNOW"

HaileyWith Windows 9x Subsystem for Linux you can run all your favourite Windows and Linux apps side-by-side with a modern Linux kernel running cooperatively with the Windows kernel in ring 0. And unlike modern WSL, no hardware virtualisation is used so even your 486 can run it!
Please enjoy, I think this might be one of my greatest hacks of all time
Charlie Stross@katalogeur They're not going to vibe-code their way to AGI. In fact, the cult of vibe coding sounds like an attempt to replace computer literacy with superstitious dependence on subscriptionware servants. Generating buggy, unreliable and unmaintainable code while de-skilling the workforce is part of the value proposition for the vendors.
...and now I've had my first experience with an AI deluded person. I'm not talking vibe coding, I'm talking the flat earth equivalent of computer science and quantum physics, plus blockchains
Had a rough week, and now an 11 hour (!) volunteer work shift - which could actually be a good distraction.
But, long story short, the organization didn't have their planning in order so I dragged myself out of bed at 5:30 for nothing on a Saturday 😞
