And the voices. “Billy…”

“You fucked the whole thing up.”

“Billy, your time is up.”

“Your time… is up.”

  • Low level programming C

    Could be pretty much any computer

    rust

    Need a lot of memory (8-16 GB) if you are planning on dissecting any existing projects

    Machine Learning programming with Python

    Start with colab / huggingface and get a feel for what level of hardware you need for the stuff you’re doing before you start buying stuff

    If you want just a general high quality system with upgradability etc, frame.work or System76 are supposed to be good high end providers.













  • I once watched a depression era family member of mine dismantle a Chinese take out container, flatten and wash the cardboard part of it and then put it in the paper recycling, and straighten out the wire handle to put into a little jar with other wires and bits of metal.

    Same family member once showed me a stack of paper grocery bags she had taken into her place from her building’s paper recycling, upset that someone had thrown away perfectly good paper bags.




  • Because once that door swings open a little bit… who knows what might bear some scrutiny?

    Who made the clothes you’re wearing? Or your phone? Were they a slave? A child? Are they even still alive, or do they have cancer because of the factory where they worked? Do their parents miss them, if they’re gone?

    What happened to make the chicken sandwich you had at lunch? Are you complicit in slow torture unto death, just by existing in the modern world?

    Better to keep the door shut tight, and attack the messenger if anyone has anything to say about it. We’re just making music here. No torture, no killing, no profit from the destruction of lives. Just music! Trust me. Enjoy.

    (I don’t think most people are like this. I actually think most people in the West at this point are against the “war” in Gaza, to at least some tepidly inactive degree. But certainly, also, a lot of people aren’t against it, q.v. this article.)
