Yes.

Buggy, incomplete, kind of a mess, but absolutely playable if you have a sufficient tolerance for jank.

While it’s for sure a ways away from being the game that was promised, what’s there is still one of the most unique and ambitious gaming experiences you can ever have.

“JOE’S GONNA KILL YOU. JOE’S GONNA KILL YOU.”

Yeah, my own experience of switching to containers was certainly frustrating at first because I was so used to doing things the old way, but once it clicked I couldn’t believe how much easier it made things. I used to block out several days for the trial and error it would take getting some new service to work properly. Now I’ll have stuff up and running in 5 minutes. It’s insane.

I’m pretty sure they have to give each side the same number though, right?

While I understand the frustration of feeling like you’re being forced to adopt a particular process rather than being allowed to control your setup the way you see fit, the rapid proliferation of containers happened because they really do offer astonishing advantages over traditional methods of software development.

I’ll add here that the “docker top” command allows you to easily see what kind of resources your containers are using.

If you prefer a UI, Dozzle runs as a container, is super lightweight, requires basically no setup, and makes it very easy to see your docker resource usage.

Correct on both counts, although it is possible to set limits that will prevent a single container using all your system’s resources.

You’re absolutely right, I was getting mixed up with 120 Days of Sodom for some reason.

Your must get, like, 10fps on a rig like that.

Again, what you’re not clocking here is that it will be a very, very long time before we have sufficient quantum compute time available to engage in large scale decryption. Even just getting to the point where they can decrypt all newly generated messages will be a long time. By that point you’d have decades of historical messages to did through.

Barring some wild, out of nowhere leap forward in the feasibility, scalability and affordability of the tech, you’ll be dead by the time the NSA gets around to reading your old messages.

Psychologically, he’s still several steps below Mads Mikkelson as Hannibal Lecter on the monster fucker scale.

For the record, these aren’t consumer GPUs. They’re a completely different beast, designed specifically for running transformer models and costing up to $70,000 each.

Pyramid Head is a conventionally attractive man with a bag over his head. Absolute bottom tier of the monster-fucker scale.

In the case of quantum computing, there is a real meaning to it (in really vague terms, its computing using the suoerposition of quantum states to collapse extraordinarily complex problems down to a single answer). The problem rather is that right now companies are eagerly hyping this tech as being “just around the corner” when it’s nothing of the sort (unless a bunch of massive breakthroughs suddenly turn up).

The notion that quantum computing will make encryption useless anytime in the near future is a wild fantasy.

Yes, the potential exists that a fully realized version of quantum computing might do this. If such a thing actually ends up existing anytime soon. That is a big if. Right now we’re still very much in the “Working out if this is even feasible” stage.

Even if fully realized quantum computers become a thing, and do all the things we want them to do, we’ll be decades away from having enough of them to be able to apply quantum compute time to any random conversation on the off chance it contains something important. That’s like fishing by hocking gold bars into the ocean in the hopes that one of them hits a fish on the way down.

This is actually the premise of a Cory Doctorow short story.

The story is called Masque of The Red Death (obviously a nod to the De Sade story). It’s collected in Radicalized. I’ll also note that the title story of that collection is about a group of people who start killing healthcare CEOs. Not sure why I felt like that was worth mentioning, certainly doesn’t feel relevant to anything happening right now.

Edit: Cory’s publisher actually put up the title story of Radicalized for free online - https://prospect.org/culture/books/2024-12-09-radicalized-cory-doctorow-story-health-care/ Again, not actually relevant to this thread, but maybe of interest to people anyway. Personally, I think the whole book is worth grabbing. Then again I have a personally signed copy so I’m probably biased.

Yes, we know. Everyone knows. But if you think this is bad, you have no idea how much worse it can get.

Enjoy this for the next two or three months.

This is exactly the problem. The Dems hyperfixated on how well “the economy” was doing as some of kind of abstract entity, instead of acknowledging that none of those metrics actually represent a truly healthy economy. There’s more money, but it’s all going to the wealthy. There’s more employment, but being employed means Jack Shit if you’re working three jobs and still can’t make rent.

Successive Dem and GOP governments have spent decades overseeing the creation of an economy that has destroyed the livelihood of the average person (and the same has happened all across the neoliberal world). I’ve seen it said, accurately, that “poor” in the eighties was vastly more comfortable than poor today. Never forget that the Simpsons were supposed to be an average working class family struggling to get by. The Frank Grimes episode lampooned how the Simpsons basic existence had already transformed into one of relative luxury, and that aired in '97. It’s gotten so much worse since then.

People may be ignorant and easily lead, but they still know how much money is in their bank account. You will never ever win elections by telling voters they’re not actually poor because GDP growth is up.

The solutions Trump offered to these problems are objectively terrible, built on ignorance and outright lies. But he offered solutions. The Dems looked at a house full of people actively burning to death and said “What are you on about, there’s no fire. You’re stupid.”

Against that, the GOPs ideas didn’t have to be good. They just had to be different. The average voter figured that there if there was even a 1% chance that Trump made things better, that was still better odds than the Dems were giving them. Most of them didn’t even bother looking at the details of Trump’s plans, they just figured “Hey, he apparently has a plan, the other guys clearly don’t, so let’s go with that.”
