We’re talking about it as if its not depending on absurd amounts of energy. How do you ”kill” a lightbulb now again?

How do you kill a botnet?

and thats when they blackened the sky

I am yet to find a skill useful. It’s usually just vibecoded slop-bloat for a one-off somebody thought they document in a markdown file.

They're useful for one-offs. I don't manage them though.

I can recommend the book telling the full story behind Fermats Last Theorem (by Simon Singh). It’s quite fascinating, and paved with really, _really_ weird characters each chipping in on the final solution.

Also recommend his other books!

Big Bang - history of the understanding of space and the universe

Code book - history of the maths of ciphers

Haven’t read them for years but I’ve been meaning to again

Ooh I never realized FLT and Code book were the same author. Yes, both great!

Sure, go on and try it ;)

I found a brilliant proof but there was not enough hard disk space to save the file :(

Just say “box plot” and 99.9999% of the working force gets watery eyes.

Very nice idea!

I think some number are of by a magnitude (DIED BEFORE AGE 5: 4%, for Scandinavium in 1990 - according to UN it’s ~0.6%).

That definitely reframes it

LLM: produces a toolbox of an id and a clock

User: use them both

Made me giggle.
