The 1974 and 2022 peaks were for completely different reasons. That's coincidence. There'll be another overlap in 1980 / 2028 but this time for similar causes, and it'll be a bloodbath.

I code as a hobby just to keep my mind sharp. Of course if you don't use your brain it atrophies, and it gets much worse with aging.

I did a "Fuck AI" commit in my project with the the anthropic test refusal string in the main include file, and an explicit generative AI diclaimer in the readme, just to be absolutely clear about my take on this.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, we introduce Hasan Piker, a Turkish-American streamer and millionaire. He’s best known for his champagne socialism, rabid criticism of the US and Israel, support for the Soviet Union and for Chinese and Russian invasions, and for mistreating his dog. 1/20

Guys, the President was literally threatening to invade the territory of a NATO country earlier this year, to the point where they had to deploy troops to deter it. That has consequences.

I cannot adequately explain how fucked up the World Cup situation is wihen the president of a host nation *threatens the safety* of one of the participants (Iran). The USA should be removed as a host nation and if it's not, the games shoud be boycotted and ANYONE WITH A MORAL CENTER should see that.

It's time to recognize that Hungary is lost and should be considered an adversary. Russia is using the country in its hybrid war against the EU, and if we don't act soon we're going to lose Czechia and Slovakia too. Romania and Bulgaria are also on the russian list.

CPUs are getting worse.

 We’ve pushed the silicon so hard that silent data corruptions (SDCs) are no longer a theoretical problem.

 Mercurial Cores are terrifying because they don’t hard-fail; they produce rare, but *incorrect* computations!

Europeans should pay more attention to this absolutely crucial aspect of Trump's efforts & plan for it. Were this to go through (likely meaning conditional phasing out of US sanctions) this would be absolute dynamite for European unity with huge divisions likely to emerge.
