The Magus Circle seems like a fantastic concept.

Also I wonder how long it takes for someone to come up with a mod for it that forces/lets your practice kanji lol

🤡

More scary than that is that the technologies are starting to keep up or exceed their expectations.

Your last point resonates with me deeply.

It’s also one of the main drivers for my frustration with / rage against the unfair economic system we live in. Working 10-20hrs/week should be the goal, so we can have most of our days to ourselves doing the things we love.

Oof, OK. I have seen some S1 Andor deep-dives in the past which were genuinely good. Haven’t watched anything on S2 yet, because I didn’t like it.

Hab neulich auf der orangenen Seite (ja war ein Fehler drauf zu gehen) mit Faszination und Bestürzung mitgelesen, wie jemand ernsthaft vorgeschlagen hat, man könnte ja auch einfach die GPUs Wasserkühlen, den entstehenden Dampf nutzen, um eine Turbine anzutreiben um dadurch das Problem der Abwärme zu lösen, und so nebenbei noch mehr Strom für die GPUs bekommen.

Mein Bruder in Christus, ich weiß nicht wo ich da anfangen soll.

Which one? Mind sharing?

Huh, not what I would have expected. I work for a company that has sadly shifted very AI-focused, with the exception of the actual engineers. Literally none of us likes or uses LLMs. Every other week someone from the C-suite reminds us that we are encouraged to use it, and get 300$ or some such in credits for AI tooling per month, and that they don’t understand why it hasn’t been claimed even once.

I’m so torn on this, because IN THEORY the argument “git blame should show the dunce who committed this” makes sense.

But then why not add the AI as a co-committer.

(All of this of course sidesteps the actual question, “why the fuck are you allowing AI contributions in the first place”.)

My PC is either on (when I am actively sitting in front of it working) or off (all other times). With a cool down, of course, for coffee breaks or a quick lunch.

I think the trans movement dug a deep hole for itself when it promoted transition surgery for minors.

We didn’t. Noone is even advocating for that. That is 100% a right-wing straw-man.

That works both ways though, when an “F” on the license is for someone who is 6’3" with quarterback shoulders and five-o’clock shadow.

Exactly, and now there’s gonna be a ton of beardy, muscly men who are forced to revert to an “F” on their licenses.

No, with the incorrect one.

It absolutely is.

There’s also a lot of different variations of fetishes involving piss. For the “get pissed on / in / drink it” part of the fetish, I have a hunch that piss sits right on the boundary of gross/humiliating, but not actually harmful.

Well.

For me at least.

LLMs will never be conscious.

Please tell me this is a satirical nod towards Honey & Co.

So do they

Here’s the email I got from them:

Dear xxx,

This mail is to inform you about an unfortunate, but necessary price change that we must make.

There have been drastic price increases in various areas in the IT branch recently. That is why, unfortunately, we must also increase the prices of our products.

The costs to operate our infrastructure and to buy new hardware have both increased dramatically. Therefore, our price adjustment will affect both your existing products and new orders.

The underlying causes of the increased costs are, among others, the exploding demand for AI-related computing power and for cloud services. In addition, raw material prices and production costs have also generally risen for manufacturers. The costs for RAM and SSDs especially have risen by a large amount. For example, the cost for DRAM memory has increased up to 500% since September 2025. And according to market researchers like TrendForce, this price trend will continue throughout the year.

We have genuinely tried hard to optimize our costs and to prevent increasing our prices for as long as possible. But we can no longer compensate for the strain that it has placed on our operations. We want to continue to deliver quality products that meet both our standards and your expectations, so we must take this step.

The price changes will take effect on 1 April 2026 for both new orders and existing products. For orders placed before 1 April 2026, but delivered after 1 April 2026, the adjusted prices will apply.

The following existing products, listed under the customer number specified in the subject line, are affected by the price increase as follows.

Product previous price New price as of 1 April 2026 Server Auction € 43.56 € 44.87 all prices incl. 21% vat

We know that price changes are always a challenge for everyone. However, we believe that our products’ prices and conditions still have a competitive price-to-performance ratio.

We have prepared a list of all new prices for you on Hetzner Docs at https://docs.hetzner.com/general/infrastructure-and-availability/price-adjustment. Starting on 1 April 2026, the new prices will also be on our website.

If you do not wish to continue your contract, you can cancel the products within the regular cancellation periods via your administration interface.

We hope that you will be able to understand and accept our decision, and that we are sorry that we have to change our prices.

If you have any questions, we will be happy to help. Please log onto your account and go to “Support” in the menu and create a support request.

Kind regards,

Hetzner Online

1.31 for me!

Yeah. I have a feeling that stopping it is, somehow, not desirable to a portion of the commentors.

Past me had a dick

Sorry, couldn’t resist.
