Perl's decline was cultural

beatworm.co.uk · Nov 20

There's been a flurry of discussion on Hacker News and other tech forums about what killed Perl. I wrote a lot of Perl in the mid 90s and subsequently worked on some of the most trafficked sites on the web in mod_perl in the early 2000s, so I have some thoughts. My take: it was mostly baked into ...

Plenty of people is blaming "AI" in the abstract for the recent RAM price spikes, but I haven't seen anybody around here point to the actual and direct culprit of it all: Sam Altman secretly bought 40% of silicon wafers (not even produced RAM, just the silicon wafers) from two of the biggest RAM manufacturers, at the same time. Not even with specific plans for what kind of RAM do with them. This is just to mess up with competitors.

Seriously, you can't hate OpenAI enough.

If there was any question that the American century ended on January 20, 2025, there is none now.

America is officially ruled by White Supremacists voluntarily giving up our unique position in the world in order to make America a white ethnostate that bullies its smaller neighborhoods into positions of servitude just as the Soviet Union did after World War II and the monarchical empires did before World War I.
We know how well that worked out for everyone...

Dr. Richardson’s Letter today was stunning, painful …

————

I agree fully with the statement:

“Observers referred to the document as National Security Council Report (NSC) 88 and noted that it could have been written in just 14 words. White supremacists use 88 to refer to Adolf Hitler and “fourteen words” to refer to a popular white supremacist slogan.”

No wonder the admin(?) waited until Friday night to release the NSS without fanfare. It’s a final abdication. 320 days! 320 days is all it took to destroy our nation from within.

The Harvest Will Come

I spent most of my twenties believing that purpose was something you found once and then held onto. A winning lottery ticket you kept in your wallet forever. The self-help industry reinforced this: find your passion. Discover your why. Land on the thing that makes you leap out of bed
