on GrapheneOS defends use of AI for coding in c/technology@lemmy.world · 10 Sep 2026
Agreed.
I strongly remember a CompSci professor ~2005 being disgusted with auto-generated Java GUI. And yes it was clunky and more memory intensive than it could have been, but also, I really don’t care about how GridView is defined most of the time.
Bad code is bad code, touched by AI or not. For working code, a volunteer group spending resources to determine if it might have been touched by AI is at the very least an incredibly frustrating standard to try to meet. And very likely impossible to verify in any meaningful way.

on World's first GPS-free quantum navigation trial succeeds at sea in c/technology@lemmy.world · 30 Aug 2026
Too expensive, too big, and too military were all arguments for computers, radio (/radar), and GPS to never have widespread adoption.
It’s a cool experiment/technology. Why so down?

on Chinese memory can now match the speed and latency configs of the RAM in our gaming PCs in c/technology@lemmy.world · 20 Aug 2026
RAM has not come from China, and China isn’t exporting much of it yet. Unless Canada and the EU and Japan and everyone else is also handing out tariffs on Taiwan, Korea, etc like the US is, their point was the price of RAM doesn’t have anything to do with tariffs.
The price of RAM is high globally because the AI companies have bought future-RAM with money the RAM producing companies gave them to build data centers that don’t exist yet.

on 2027 RAM Capacity Has Reportedly Been Sold out in c/technology@lemmy.world · 8 Aug 2026
Yes.
Which is why it’s bad that the only 3 companies with capacity currently are colluding.

on The return of supersonic flight hinges on the race to solve one big hurdle | CNN in c/technology@lemmy.world · 8 Aug 2026
If we can reduce the shockwave from sonic booms that could directly lead to more efficient plane engines. The main current impediment they have is the tips of the turbine blades can only get so close to the speed of sound before they explode from the forces they’re experiencing.
Which could have knock-on effects for anything involving an airfoil moving through a fluid. Helicopters, boats, wind turbines, hydro-power, etc.
Better understanding and control of the physics / materials science at the sound barrier would be very good news.

They’re publicly traded companies. Their investor meetings point out that HBM is not more profitable.
It is in theory more guaranteed profit because it’s a smaller number of bigger contracts. But that’s the gamble they’re making.
Thankfully in the US we won’t get the choice because they’re not allowed to sell here to protect our domestic producers from competition so we can just give them more money the next time they need to be bailed out.
