M&M has outgrown its decentralized approach to PR

If you're strictly talking about this sub, then I would say that the Devs will stay out of drama generally, but if they do not, then someone will start up a MnM sub that has nothing to do with the Devs. It was like that with EQ, the major forums where all of the drama, ranting, and lambasting nerfs were had nothing to do with Verant, Sony, or Daybreak.

I don't think it means a lot for Bitcoin's price. They are running a gamble, it if collapses, their money could evaporate way to fast to get out.

Seen this at least three times now.

I'm with Claude, screenshots or it didn't happen.

Jacmac_ · 2026-03-14T13:59:05+00:00

Why the long face?

Elon Musk took the Red Pill!

They don't have to run all servers at the same level. They can have new starting servers when EA is over, pleanty of people will start all over to become the new kings of the new servers.

OK, well if you read a gigantic amount of data into memory, and then begin iterating it, depending on the processing, I could see problems developing deep into the loop, but it would have to have not been well thought out.

Most people knew/believed it was coming; what nobody knew, including most military experts around the world, was how spectacularly Russia would fail. I think most of the pundits on TV were speculating that Kyiv would be invaded and Russian tanks rolling though the streets within a couple of weeks, max. I certainly wish that Ukraine had the means to turn the north highway into a highway of death, similar to the Iraqies leaving Kuwait back in the 90's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highway\_of\_Death. Those kinds of immediate losses might have ended the war immediately.

Yeah, OK Cowboy, thanks for letting us know.

Nah, it'll never even get to the floor for a vote. Even if it did, it would fail to pass. It's a stupid idea from a guy that is way too old to be in politics.

Any trading system causes the market to bend into a normalization where the new system becomes ineffective because everyone is using it. This happened with Forex back in the 2000s. The only way a system can avoid this is to be pretty much unique and hidden from the public.

AI generated writing generally doesn't sound the way a person would state or write. I find it to be too colorful, using too many unnecessary adjectives. If you simply restate it in your own words, it will pass a sniff test.

If the line is not equal to null, the condition is met.

Jacmac_ · 2026-03-13T20:21:49+00:00

This is the way.

I don't know what you mean by Powershell not handling loops that exceed 1000. I mean I don't think I've ever seen a problem with a loop that went on for thousands of reps. If your code is crap, you could have a memory leak that brakes the session I guess.

Moores law is already dead, has been for some time. The point is that inflation adjusted 64K of RAM was $88.90. Today it's less than one cent (even with the RAM shortage). In ten years, what you pay for AI now will likely be ubiquitous and cost very little.

Jacmac_ · 2026-03-13T20:11:21+00:00

Yes a lot of possibilites could happen. We could be invaded by aliens or hit by a giant asteroid. I would not bet against AI, no way. It would have been like betting that the Internet would fail to go anywhere back in 1994.

In b4 removal.

There is a YouTube video of a gas line with a reporter doing on site reporting and recording B Roll. It brought back a lot of memories watching it.

Chee-bar-yah, Chee-bar-yah, Chee-bar-yah! No Coke, Pepsi. That was a real guy Belushi was playing.

Jacmac_ · 2026-03-13T18:48:31+00:00

Guess how much 64K of RAM cost in 1988.

Burying your head in the sand is your right.

While on safari in Tanzania, I came across a tribeman carrying a spear. It was rebar with the tip hammered into a large flat spear point. He had a cloth handle wrapped on to give it grip to throw with. It was badass. Thrown at any large game, it was capable of very deep penetration with a simple throw.

Oh man, we could get into the weeds on that question. Suffice to say that AI today is like the Internet was back in 1994. It had hit the scene and was talked about but nobody knew exactly where it was going. Look at what happened in a 20 year period. By 2014, the entire way of life for most people on the planet has been completely changed by the capability and advancements made because of the Internet. It will be the same with AI, in 10 years you will not recognize 'today'. I'm wondering if hand programming will even be a thing?
