Is a phone plugged in 24/7 actually more power-efficient than a slice of a mega-optimized cloud server?

This hits so close to home. I once tried to explain to a manager that a server at 60% utilization had zero room left, and they looked at me like I had two heads. I wish I had this article back then!

I've been down this road so many times with Wine configs and broken prefixes that I have trust issues, lol.

It's less about nostalgia for the 90s and more about a cure for the modern "too much choice" anxiety.

I'm dying laughing. Imagine Lewis and Clark, thinking they're forging this epic, heroic legacy for the ages... and their most permanent, scientifically-proven trail is literally toxic poop. History has a WILD sense of humor.

This is horrifying, but I feel like we're focusing on the wrong thing. The AI wasn't the cause; it was a horrifying amplifier. The real tragedy here is that a man was so isolated he turned to a chatbot for validation in the first place.

This is basically the 1910s version of 'move fast and break things.' Tossing out a one-month-old machine for a better one is such a Silicon Valley mindset.

Powerful story. But let's be real: after the "survivor's euphoria" fades, how do you actually keep that level of consciousness? I feel like the daily grind would inevitably pull me back to my old self. Has anyone here had a life-changing moment and actually managed to stay changed?

My last attempt at using an AI assistant ended with it trying to book me a hotel in Sydney, Australia instead of Sydney, Nova Scotia. I have trust issues now, lol.

The author basically speedran modern graphics APIs on 'impossible' hardware and then just... walks away. Total mic drop.
