Yeah the dish washing, that is seriously an amazing part of the story. But I digress, I was referring to the part where Alex is going to “trial”, with the judge a god of gods (I should re-read it, my explanation is terrible).

I am wondering much about graveyards in Heaven, can you die in the afterlife and where will you go then? Is Heinlein’s Job more factual than I always assumed??

The Nexus, being a destructive addiction, seems to me more of an analogy to heavy drug use than a happy afterlife.

I don’t know, I can’t tell anymore. I work at Clanker Town, I am knee deep in the braindead, inundated with “ohhh claude code awwww yissss”. Actually, I feel often like I’m nearing the end of a Last Nan Standing type of game and all the rest of humanity has turned into cyber zombies.

So yeah, I might miss this kind of sarcasm. Sorry.

You’re attributing too much independent though, rationality, intelligence and forward thinking to people that have outsourced their brains to a chatbot - and a meagre one at that. Maybe oooohhh MYTHOS aaaAahhh is recursive self improving???

Too bad the old Torvalds has gone, replaced by this mild-mannered gentleman. The idiot submitters could really do with a bit of stern telling-to.

Nice roast

Perfect Life Pro Tip.

Maybe it was even a 25 pin delta serial? or an external scsi port? Sounds damn peculiar indeed.

This is a great explanation!

But I do have to say, you darn kids with your fancy newfangled PS/2 input… in my days we had proper serial or DIN ports!

Alexander Hamilton: -_-

It’s probably a reference to Japanese pr0n, because that’s allegedly censored like this.

Unsupervised? Is that what they call “outsourced to the Philippines” these days?

God I love Jucika comics so much, thank you for introducing them to me!

Fractals bah, Lyapunov did it better (and is still mostly forgotten).

It’s amazing that Hank can come to this conclusion since basically every genai company is hiding their resource usage. (Well, actually not that amazing as Hank has gone completely on the side (and gets sponsored by) these companies and is strongly biased).
Have a look at eg https://pivot-to-ai.com/2026/03/06/how-much-water-do-the-data-centres-use-its-a-secret/

How? Did the “inventor” just slam 2 words into each other and called it a day? Just how?

I don’t know anything about their situation and neither do you. I’ve known parents at 16/18 who did a good job (with help of their parents), and I know adult parents who should have had a snip the moment they were born. Sure it’s going to be hard for teenagers, but it doesn’t mean it’s going to be bad.

Not just that; the USA will have lost its reputation as the “world police” while Iran will now have a reputation as a country that stood up to their bully and won. Just like with Ukraine and Russia, the mighty are falling, and it’s going to be an interesting new world order.

OK, so from a parent/caretaker I get that smoking pot (at home) isn’t maybe a great idea to just let happen, but humiliating the kid in front of everyone is an absolute shitshow. Good thing the passers-by were quite a bit more understanding. And the tossing? As long as it’s not in grandma’s salad… whatever.
