I’m using (Gemini 3.1 pro in) Gemini cli to build a complex (personal) project to explore how to use these tools. My impression is that the code produced by LLMs is disposable/throwaway. We need to babysit the model and be very hands on to get good results.

Let me rewrite your question, and correct me if I’m misrepresenting it:

“Why should we spend resources on X instead of Y?”

Well, for this kind of question, I would prefer to choose a “high value” X and an “important” Y.

Space exploration, and science as a whole, is extremely cheap and good for humanity.

Let’s talk about other expensive “X” first:

• Unnecessary war efforts.
• ICE (if we are taking about US)
• Saving banks when they screw up on their bets.
• Incentives to coal and gas when solar is already more viable …

Maybe you started to think about it because that’s an amazing subject, and it is. That alone should be reason enough for us to want to do it. But it is not the only reason. Space exploration already gave us a lot of tech we rely on today. And still, is a very difficult field that will require more tech advancements, that will benefit us in the future.

For rust the cross compilation may be useful, if you need a windows binary but can write te program in Linux.

That’s very concerning

Corporative social media pushed me out, ActivityPub seems a great solution to those problems.

Then Reddit and Communism

As the values are already settled, I take both boxes.

Valve is solving the chicken-and-egg problem. For a developer, it is costly to maintain a separate build for Linux without the consumer base to justify the effort. And without games, most people will not leave windows.

Proton offers Valve independence from windows without effort and cost for the developers. And without penalties for the gamers as well.

I would love to buy the Frame, but I really hope the controllers will be available soon.

I would like it even more to see that working on a Xiaomi or Samsung

Btop?

I believe that you are already brave; like the Lion in the Wizard of Oz, you just don’t see that, yet.

In a situation where you are raided like the journalist, it may be worth nuking the phone. Consider the sources that could be exposed.

Having your phone available to law enforcement is the equivalent of forfeit your right to remain silent.

And more, once they have access, what is stopping them from planting false evidence? In this fascist fever that US is living… I would prefer to avoid the risks.

Out of curiosity I checked some big news sites here, it’s relevant in the International section, but not the headline in any of them. And none of news had the name of the victim in the title.

I knew ICE executed someone (again) in broad daylight, but the video on social media was the source, not the news.

The authoritarian escalation inside the US may be less relevant for me than it’s escalation outside; like the kidnapping of the venezuelan president by US forces and it’s repercussions in south-america.

Maybe I’m cuban, colombian, brazilian or mexican, and I’m more concerned with Trump’s threatening interventions in my country like he did with Venezuela, knowing that the International community is ignoring his imperialistic moves on latin-america (as always).

… Or even violence cases in my own country are more relevant because they are a bigger risk for me. The world is bigger than the white western hemisphere.

Edit: But I get why everyone is very reactive right now, the situation is very fucked-up.

I’m not american

Or, maybe, someone outside the US?

Thanks \o/

Edit: did not know that either

And who is this?

That depends on the kind of time travel we are dealing with. And as no information about that was provided… ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

The expansion of Europe’s reach over the world in the 1500s and 1600s. Or at least the transatlantic slave trade. I would not exist, but a LOT of suffering would be prevented.

My guy, many of the Hitler policies was inspired by the southern US policies against the black population. Sometimes I wonder the nazi rise and fall didn’t prevent something like that happening in the US in the XX century.
