  1. Let us imagine, for a moment, a #CarbonFree #SteamEngine

    A #Locomotive , for pulling a #train.

    We would be doing this for #fun wouldn't we, so #efficiency is not a major concern, and even #effectiveness is not the main constraint.

    First off and really easy is what the #LondonUnderground, the#Tube, did in early days - make the boiler and firebox rather hot, use that to generate steam to propel the thing undergound, heat it up again when you get back into fresh air.

    No need to use #Coal now.

  2. #MissKittyPolitics From an #engineering perspective, from a #workflow and #efficiency perspective, #oil product #production is the ultimate #Rube #Goldberg. Smh. To put up with any baloney from oil executives about anything is ridiculous. Their process is killing the world and it is stupid AF.

  3. 🚀✨ Look, it's 2026 and apparently, #Unsloth and #Nvidia are on a mission to squeeze every last drop of speed from GPUs; as if anyone out there was asking for yet another way to melt their consumer-grade hardware. 🤯 The authors—who clearly have more names than followers—promise #efficiency gains that’ll make you wonder why you ever settled for only 75% of your LLM training speed in the first place. 🙃

  4. @MartinEscardo Mostly because almost anything nowadays goes over the #Internet which is still adding substantial delay because of extremely inefficient #programming, sometimes causing hundreds of requests for one single user interaction.

    Back in the old days, we had software that was much more optimized on algorithm level, less layers, everything local since network connection was a rare thing to have. 👴

  5. There is ASCII Art and there is a View-Finder showing the document space in miniature. How very German of me... #deutschland

    FOSS, single-file, vanilla, save with CTRL + S. This is designed to make single file webpages/programs in absolute position or VW. The keyboard is like Vi. 20 levels per project. #VanillaJS #Minimalism #WebPerformance #Lightweight #SingleFile #NoBloat #FastWeb #ZeroDependencies #CleanCode #OfflineFirst #Efficiency #100DaysOfCode #GreenComputing #LowTech #WebStandards

  6. 🚗💸 Uber's 2026 #AI #budget went up in flames faster than a #Tesla on Ludicrous Mode, all thanks to their blind love affair with #Claude #Code. 🔥🤖 Who knew #burning #cash could be so... efficient? 🙃

  10. @renardboy Yes, but THEIR whole other #motive & logic is to use machines to pen people in - never really to argue it out realistically about #pros and #cons. They're way..

    A kind of #checkmate in the end but less and less choice or logic incrementally...

    And more and more #Tech developed by the same like-minded profit-finders - good for #German style #efficiency to process the sheep / humans with less and less basic #choice / #logic and more an more #containers of fast / #hidden #machinery.

  11. 🥰 Ever the romantic, I look under the covers at the calculus of matchmaking.

    It should be no surprise to most that dating is not an economic endeavour (with some obvious exceptions). In this blog post and associated podcast, I articulate why.

  12. 品質低下
    現代社会では効率化やコスト削減ばかりを求める構図、いやっ、悪文化が形成されている。「とにかく早く出せ」、「奴らより先に出せ」、そうして圧力を掛け品質の低下を招いてるのが実態。

  13. Деградація якості
    У сучасному суспільстві сформувалася структура, а точніше погана культура, яка прагне лише ефективності та зниження витрат.

  16. Behold, the magical #DeiMOS 🧙‍♂️, a #superoptimizer that masquerades as the messiah of MOS 6502 #code #efficiency. In reality, it's a lethargic snail 🐌, spending eons to find the "optimal" sequence that no one has the patience for. Why wait for DeiMOS when you can just let your code run until the universe ends? 🚀✨

  17. I think that I have just programmed myself 25% of (the generation of) a virtual #plugInSolar system by tweaking ther power management of my off-grid system:

    But I won't know for about 6 months!

  18. I’m thrilled to announce that I’m leveraging the "Pot of Greed" strategic framework to optimize my resource acquisition. 🚀 By activating this high-impact tool, I’ve successfully scaled my hand by 200%, driving immediate growth and expanding my options for future success. 📈 Always be iterating. #GrowthMindset #Efficiency #StrategicSourcing #ResourceManagement

  19. Ah yes, the riveting tale of Python's GIL: the most misunderstood three-letter acronym since 'LOL' 😂. The authors propose unlocking #Python #cores as though they're disarming a bomb - spoiler alert: it's #energy, not nuclear 💥. Thank goodness we have 2603.04782 pages of #academic #wisdom to light our path through the dark forest of #computational #efficiency 🌳🔦.
