Note that the negative impact of these facilities are, by designed, concentrated on the communities that get stuck with them. The overall percentage has to be considered in the context of them focusing that impact into relatively small, super dense footprints.

Also, the percentage is higher than 1%, and in the US is about 5%. This reflects the current situation that the AI companies lament is just too constrained on them, with ambitions of getting to 20% if circumstances allow them to build up the way they want. So it’s already somewhat significant, especially with the way it gets concentrated, and further they want to bump it up at least four fold beyond what they’ve managed to do so far.

In anticipation of that, energy strategies that planned to be more tame and grow by renewables got pushed aside in favor of more natural gas, and especially portable power generation which tends to be more polluting.

The politicians of those communities have failed their constituents.

Sure, but have they failed their own bank accounts? Need to ask the important questions…

True, though not a whole lot of people think as highly about Eclipse or Apache as folks do Linux.

I don’t think companies are jumping up and down to try to manipulate their way to having nominal affinity to those projects compared to how so many companies want to have the ‘Linux approved’ impression with people not paying close attention to the ‘foundation’.

He did make that AI video where he dropped shit from a plane on protestors, so guess you are probably right.

And in fact, I frequently have disagreed with the Linux foundation and think it shouldn’t carry the name Linux, as most of their projects aren’t particularly related to Linux work.

It’s been a way for corporations to attach the Linux marketing value to their pet projects for a long time.

But the thing is that it shouldn’t be considered so scary that you pay someone 500 to replace an easy to replace 15 dollar part.

Based on my AI enthusiast colleagues, I totally believe 100x productive.

100 x 0 == 0

So funny thing, a colleague of mine was arguing that there’s no reason to do a compiler because he got Claude to generate ELF binary directly for a hello world…

Some of the AI bros are very extremely bullish on it too the point of saying compilers are a waste of time…

Hence my references to DNS records in addition to MX to determine if an endpoint is SMTP only or better. For compatible interop.

Looks like replacing IMAP rather than SMTP, which is significantly less thorny.

You should be careful, but it’s not hard to drain them real quick before working on them.

I suppose the idea would be like AVG, but for free form text comment cells. Can’t really chart that.

Of course it would be non deterministic left as a “formula”, so it’s still a bad idea to encode that way, but guess they could have a “summarize this column” feature and then the user does as they will with the result.

Though having comments in a column in a spreadsheet has always seemed like a weird format choice.

Yeah, funny how it works. Of course of you know that’s like a fifteen dollar part from the hardware store.

Another cheap but expensive one when a capacitor goes in an HVAC. Super cheap quick and easy but an HVAC company will probably charge $500 if you called them.

Can save a ton of money just knowing a few basics on your plumbing, HVAC, and cars.

Frankly, I’m rather shocked it hasn’t happened by now.

We’ve tried to bandaid over it with various weird things, but fundamentally SMTP is just weird.

I could easily imagine a domain having some SRV record to advertise “hey, I support NeoSMTP”, and peers switching to that instead, possibly pinning on successful NeoSMTP negotiation.

Get rid of a lot of the relaying which has not been useful in modern times and only a liability, and perhaps offer an https option to be less likely to be blocked (a TXT record to indicate url, and a node could declare their NeoSMTP entry point as https://mail.server/NeoSMTP/ or whatever works for them).

There are pedestrian safety design points including pedestrian crumple and not having sharp edges.

Of course the goal is moot at 75 mph, but it does apply at speeds like 15 mph that might actually be survivable and isn’t a crazy expectation in pedestrian heavy roads where the car might actually slow that much before impact.

So the cyber truck totally deserves criticism for discarding that in service of Elon’s weird taste, but just a deer at 75 mph didn’t illustrate it.

I was so happy when I ran out of tokens, I could just keep programming without management micromanaging how I got my job done.

The author seems to think this is some horribly intolerable scenario, impossible to keep going. That without tokens you can do nothing. Lamenting that it’s impossible to understand the code the LLM put out. This is a bad sign. If you let the LLM get beyond your ability to reasonably understand and audit, then you run the risk of getting screwed at any moment. If I saw this perspective from anyone that did work for me, I told be avoiding letting them anywhere near anything potentially important.

Net this has been the worst thing to happen to the discipline of software development. Maybe after the bubble pops we can have the more reasonable takes, but right now it’s just insufferable.

While the truck is certainly poorly designed for pedestrian safety, the truck hit the deer at 75 mph. There is no such thing as safe for pedestrians at that speed.

It’s a fair position, as far as they are concerned, they haven’t seen it in action, at least not for very long. So they are waiting to see if it pans out as promised.

It’s not the creators intent, is the closed captioner. The director does not play a role in what goes into the closed captions generally.

Yes, but those LLMs are not the official LLM of X directly tweeting on the platform publicly for all to see, attribute directly to the LLM instead of to whatever user induced the behavior.
