<p>Loomer doesn't speak for me, and no idea what you're talking about.<p>I have no problems with legal immigrants. I married into a first generation family of immigrants, and like everyone else my ancestors were immigrants to this country.<p>It does a disservice to conflate the two. Immigrants worked hard to be here, illegal immigrants are a drain on everyone, including legal immigrants.</p>

<p>It's a temporary pause in INTERVIEWS, not the entire process. The pause is to train people to analyze whether that person would be dependent on public services.<p>Unfortunately our public services are overloaded by illegal immigrants, this is needed.<p>And what does that have to do with GP conflating stats meant for immigrants with illegal immigrants?</p>

<p>That doesn't disagree with what I said.<p>After WWII they were distributed chapters (Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, Invisible Empire, Imperial Klans of America, National Knights, etc.)<p>Those later leaders are only leaders of that chapter/cell, not a single leader.<p>Distributing your hate does not make you immune is my point.</p>

<p>That's a silly rubric. Loosely organized groups have cells with leaders, not a single one.<p>That specific Antifa chapter's cell leaders can be found in the link above.<p>The KKK didn't have a single leader either after WWII, it was distributed chapters. So does that mean they weren't a terrorist group anymore?<p>And the Juggalo fans didn't coordinate to go riot / cause violence, not the same as either of those.</p>

<p>I was against the Feds designating Juggalos as a "loosely-organized hybrid gang". That was ridiculous.<p>But this is not the same. Antifa leaders and cell members have been charged and convicted, getting caught coordinating riots.<p><a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/leader-antifa-cell-members-north-texas-sentenced-100-years-prison-terrorist-attack-ice" rel="nofollow">https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/leader-antifa-cell-members-no...</a><p>And we all saw the "summer of love" in 2020. Personally I want to see more accountability.<p>I know Antifa may be popular here, but those riots ruined businesses, got people killed, and caused an enormous amount of damage.</p>

<p>> you just use less overall cooling water.<p>yeah... that's the point right?<p>Hybrid systems keep the primary process fluid in a closed loop, they spray water on pads to cool the coils during the hotter parts. Basically a stop gap when air cooling is not enough.<p>There's also close loop systems that lose none, it's just more expensive to build. They are already being deployed in areas with scarce water. Microsoft and a quite a few others already built a few.</p>

<p>The worst designs evap up to 80%. New designs use closed-loop system where very none to little evaps (0-6%) depending on the system.<p>Many designs in-between with air cooling, hybrid, etc.<p>Still a non-issue, it's going back into the water cycle.<p>Any water issue would be specific to the municipality, it's not a national issue, nor is it an issue specific to datacenters, it's true for anything being built in the town (golf courses, power plants, etc.)</p>

<p>It's to put water usage in perspective. I think the best example is golf courses.<p>If you think datacenters are a waste of water and you want to do a global campaign to stop building / shutdown golf courses first, then your values don't really make sense.<p>Golf is pure leisure, and uses 531 gallons compared to 17.4 gallons a year.<p>Datacenters on the other hand, power the site we're using right now to discuss the "problem". You wouldn't be able to have this conversation without them.<p>--<p>Why aren't people screaming constantly about golf courses and pressuring to shut them down?<p>Why the focus on datacenters if the bigger win is staring you right in the face (if you're that concerned about water usage)?<p>It's not about the water.</p>

<p>You'd have to look locally at individual datacenter projects then and not be against all of them.<p><i>If</i> it's really the case that a local municipality grants a new datacenter to be built that already has a stressed water supply, the people in the area should complain, and if nothing is done then we can be mad at just that ONE datacenter/company. Not the entire industry.<p>But I just don't see that happening. Noone is going without water because of datacenters. Noone is going without water other than people in California who get there's stolen from farms. That's a real issue, not a hypothetical.</p>

<p>I'm talking about the scale. This was a large app with 60+ screens, 400+ component ui kit, and very rich features.<p>And had to work on ios/android/web.<p>I'd consider myself a pretty fast programmer, and I grind 12 hours at a time, everyday until it's done.<p>But between all humans it's a rounding error compared to the output of an agent swarm.<p>For personal projects, I pick and choose how much to use AI.

<p>It's not a hyperbole. I know how long it takes me to do something.<p>And the last project truly would have taken me 6 months.<p>It was done in 3 days after fable 1:1 the design, setup the infrastructure, and turned all tasks and specs into code.<p>Everything was done day 1, but it took 2 days to manually clean it, test, and correct small issues.<p>--<p>But that does make sense you're seeing "hyperboles" grow, AI is getting better very quickly, so you'll see the time saved estimations grow.<p>Less than a year ago I'd say it was saving me about a month of work, mainly because it sucked at UI.</p>
