Right now the biggest risk isn't what artificial intelligence might do on its own, but how humans may use it as a tool.

For me, the worst things about the Linux graphical console are lack of scrollback and horrible performance. Linux still has scrollback in VGA text mode, and of course it is super fast because each character is only 2 bytes. In graphics mode you can only fix this by running a program that provides its own graphical terminal, like kmscon or fbterm.

The best thing about the graphical console is ability to use bigger fonts, so your characters can be smooth and not pixelated. I like the Terminus fonts. As long as performance isn't a problem it's better to increase font size than to decrease the resolution.

Around here, the LED lights do not seem brighter like the article claims.

Also, they are all full cutoff. In the past, almost all high pressure sodium streetlights meant to send light downwards had a glass globe below, which sent some light upwards. LED streetlights have flat panels instead, so none of the light fixture itself can directly send light into the sky. Only light reflected from illuminated objects and scattered by the air can light up the sky.

So I guess the achievement here is that commonly available inexpensive wood can be made as hard as rare expensive wood.
