Ah yes, the next layer in questioning the human technology department. I'd like to speak to the manager of technology. We have some other important questions that you haven't answered;

"Are you yes or no on Internet?"

"Are you yes or no on electricity?"

"Are you yes or no on fire?"

That's a great take. The duality between hobby code and employable skills is striking. For a very long time you could transition into it, but I don't think so anymore. The job market demands X+Y+Z, so you need to know and follow X+Y+Z or you're not doing anything productive (hobby coding). Insane.

This brings up a much larger discussion. How bad are LLMs at engineering? Would you trust one to build a high voltage circuit? How about a bridge?

I don't trust an LLM to write software for me without human verification, but it's not like it's that hard to verify what it writes if you understand how to write code yourself. I expect even when an LLM can layout a high voltage circuit or design a bridge that most organizations who carry liability would still be sure to audit the design with a set or two of intelligent and trained human eyes.

Tldr: "Prediction: 2041 will be the year of the Linux Desktop!'

Microsoft giving up on Windows entirely is way way beyond year of the Linux desktop.

That's just using a proxy. I was thinking it was going to do native micropatching.

Alt+F4 on the desktop does the same thing, but does it with a neat UI. No scary CLI needed.

Edit - it's Alt+F4.

I remember one of these had a service that made a 3D relief map (3D print) and then framed it, so you could hang it onto a wall.

The one nice thing about the cold universe is that nothing cares what you do it after you move beyond our planet. Ergo, it is impossible to inherit anything beyond this world until life is finally present beyond it.

What everyone is missing is the tactical situation. How does this invasion work when Greenland had less than 100 miles of paved roads? If anything, this would be an occupation of their very few (just nine or ten) mining locations. And those don't move, so you cannot hide them from aerial bombings.

It would be an odd sort of invasion as the US has permission to have troops in Greenland anyway. So I guess the troops would be there as usual but say "it's ours now"?

Maybe we can reduce it to a new Whisky war? [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisky_War]

I have to laugh about "up to"

Legally, that is not a promise nor a guarantee of anything happening.
