>Investing in AI infrastructure seems very risky to me. With how short of a lifecycle computing hardware generally has, does it make sense to blow billions on hardware that will need to be replaced in a few years?

That also depends on the budget. I work in the public sector, so there's usually no money, but now they've just discovered that they have a 25 million budget, which needs to be spend this year on hardware (for AI). If we do not spend the money within this year, the budget expires and then we cannot spend it at all

25 million is not billions, but that could still be a higher budget than any other public institution agency in the entire state here has

whatsapp is the worst because it shows everyone the phone number

Nowadays this is a premium feature and you have to pay for it

I've received over 100 emails this year from these dubious mailing lists. And each mail I checked has a "X-Google-Group-Id" header. I hardly get the spam, but mostly notifications from strange email servers. "Thank you for your message," or "I'm currently out of the office," or "This email address is no longer valid.". and the servers respond to each other "Thank you for your message titled 'I am out of office'"...

a) Are they really sent by Google Groups?

b) Why does Google allow any person to create an google groups mailing list and add my email address to it without my consent?

c) Are there really still people who have configured their autoresponders to automatically respond to autoresponders through email lists in 2025?

At first I thought that was about SQLite development itself

the internet is being ruined everywhere.

This week I wanted to download some old HN front pages on the command lines and only got "403 sorry"

although I do not get that now

that fits, I wrote the first code for xidel almost 20 years ago

and it still uses Pascal because I didn't plan to change it but just wanted to show people what I programmed 20 years ago

What environment are you using nowadays to develop in Pascal? Editor, possible plugins etc?

FreePascal / Lazarus

There was actually just a large discussion thread in the Lazarus forum wondering about why it is not more popular, with almost 300 comments. But now the thread got locked. That might be a reason.

I used Delphi on Windows 98. But that became outdated, so I ported it to FreePascal. FreePascal has a lot of integrated libraries, but I do not really use anything I did not already use with Delphi.

such libraries often mess the scrolling and searching up
