It is a tricky situation isn't it? We wouldn't have gotten where we are without fossil fuels, but now we realize they are not sustainable to be dependent on and we cannot continue this level of growth. I don't think it is actually possible using current means to power what we have come to know as a "first-world lifestyle" for the majority of the planet.

Apple is a marketing company now, not an innovative tech company. They will wait until model progress is not moving in such quick progressive strides then create a new flagship product by rebadging [top model] to match their aesthetic and increase the price 3x.

I wonder what a similar study will look like for those who enjoy competitive online gaming into their old age. If the microplastics do not get to our brain first, of course.

Speaking about optimization, is Windows just too far gone at this point? It is comical the amount of resources it uses at "idle".

A lot more bad logic will get by the smell test when you have 1 staff member vibe-coding. And just wait until he is held to that level of zero-test, lowest hanging fruit productivity as being "normal".

"a single staff engineer with experience and a trusty LLM is similarly productive as a team of 2-4 junior engineers"

I think we are SEVERELY underestimating the amount of slop that is going to come from this.

Large problem with social media ad targeting recommendations. They are completely unweighted.

What you think you are targeting : 'business owners researching startups and investing'.

And somehow your ads get pushed to 'people with interest in dogs' when you go with the recommendations.

Also I will never give up my ICE vehicle back home, which is a 20 year old diesel that has 270,000 miles on the clock. I am an original hacker/tinkerer and absolutely despise the tech and guardrails included in ALL modern cars but ESPECIALLY the EVs.

I am in Bangkok right now and while there is public transportation at every corner the air quality is still super low. I took this post as the rich are falling out of love with LUXURY cars. I got passed by a Lamborghini today while walking the streets and said to my friend, while everyone else was busy trying to snap pictures, that I would only be impressed if he could do his own oil change.

I expect $tatus $ymbols to continue falling out of favor and be replaced by self sufficiency. Rich are also falling out of love with alcohol and falling in love with fitness. This is good for everyone.

Food for thought, someone who struggles to fit a gym routine into their life is not someone who knows how to train their muscles efficiently. Thanks for the article, Australia.

Make AI. Choose next path :

(1) herculean effort to make it confirm to what they have established as politically correct.

(2) improve AI.
