Climate@slrpnk.net•If Florida reefs aren’t protected, storms will increase flooding & costs: StudyEnglish7·17 hours agoTbh this just sounds like a FAFO situation with climate change and erosion. I’m sure Florida will enjoy the constant coastal flooding.

News@lemmy.world•Five US Air Force refueling planes hit in Iranian strike on Saudi Arabia, WSJ reportsEnglish
20·2 days agoIt is both ironic and rather obvious that the Iranians are using the exact same techniques against US forces in the gulf that Ukraine is using against Russia, and that they’re also surprisingly effective. Taking out US aerial tankers will eventually neuter US air power. They’re a crucial logistical component that enables a huge amount of the unique tactical and ranges that are typically employed by the US. Strategic assets are being squandered, and there are no adults left in the room to say “this is fucking stupid”. What a time to be alive.
To be clear, this isn’t me cheerleading. This is me pointing out a darkly comical and categorically pointless waste of painstakingly built strategic capability.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlashEnglish
41·2 days agoYes, I am. I just happen to be quite against the usage of CodeGen LLMs (and LLMs in general) for an absolute litany of reasons - based on topics including, but not limited to:
- efficiency of implementation (it’s just enormous piles of markov chains brute forcing inputs into stochastic outputs; or: why aren’t we exploring analog implementations for this, which is a much better architectural fit in terms of the physical silicon)
- energy impact (it’s massively spiking utility bills for shitloads of people, because the cost is being socialized)
- ecolological (including auditory) and hydrological impact
- economic impact (bubble tiem)
- unbelievably huge licensing issues that are consistently hand-waved away or summarily dismissed without meaningful comment
- double-standard of piracy (it’s ok if OpenAI does it, but it’s not ok if you do it)
- societal impact, including how trivial it is now to generate completely fabricated text, visual, audio, and video content from effectively nothing
- professional impact (leadership prioritizing AI bullshit over pretty much anything else)
- impact on the domain and profession of computer science itself (companies have significantly cut back or eliminated hiring juniors/entry-levels)
- hobbyist impact (where the fuck are homelabbers supposed to buy RAM and SSD nowadays, let alone GPUs?)
I can go on, but I’ll leave it there for now.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlashEnglish
341·2 days agolol wow, apparently the stealthing was even more roundly ridiculed than the contributions - and rightly so:
Update - 13/03/2026 11:10 UTC - The Lutris creator has restored the Claude attribution, with a comment noting “Since it’s such a big fuss, I’m putting the Claude attribution back”.
Also, what an absolute limpdick way to respond. Dude seems like a complete chode who is missing the whole fucking point. If he is an “engineer with 30 years experience”, he should fucking know better.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there a way out of an NDA after signing? It just seems people are so affraid of breaking itEnglish
13·3 days agoNot a lawyer, but iirc, if the NDA aids in the concealment of a crime, I don’t think you’re actually bound by it, as that would essentially make you an accessory to said crime. But please do ask a professional about the whole context.

World News@lemmy.world•Hungary’s Orbán claims Ukrainians ‘threatened’ his family as election campaign ramps upEnglish
29·3 days agoMaybe if you didn’t steal the better part of a billion fucking dollars from official representatives of the Ukrainian government, and also kidnapped 7 official representatives of the Ukrainian government, you wouldn’t be getting threatened, you absolute fuckwit.


















This belies a complete and total ignorance of the entire topic of strategic nuclear deterrence, and an extremely naive geopolitical worldview.
For case studies of why nuclear deterrence is important, and why a lack thereof can be catastrophic to the state in question, see:
Moreover, this is not an escalation. It’s moving towards strategic independence from a (former) ally that has become deeply unreliable.
