All I know is that your possessions tend to grow to match your surroundings. I used to live in 1100sqft and now I live in double that. Everything got bigger and more numerous. It’s really hard not to desire variety in your surroundings and to have everything you want at your fingertips.
This one also a bit chilling:
A data scientist can tell most of someone’s life story given their zip code, and we try not to think too hard about why that’s always the most predictive feature in the model.
Ugh. So it looks like I can’t even do this with Termux. Gotta dig out one of my few cables that does data transfer.
I get to sleep in on Sundays. Otherwise it’s basically the same as how I was brought up.
As the speaker of an English language me can tell you is not a difficult.
Are you saying that the bulk of inefficiency comes from network traffic?
I don’t think the ideas are all that bad BUT once again we’re glossing over the fact that we’re taking extremely simple tasks and making them less energy efficient on the order of hundreds of thousands. If this kind of thing takes off, at best we’d see companies start to go bankrupt because they can’t keep up with costs and at worst we’d ramp up carbon emitting energy production.
What year is it?
I just became a subscriber on Patreon.
For starters, blaming a lot of our woes on illegal immigrants when there’s no indication they significantly contribute to crime. I say significantly because it’s not zero but as a demographic they’re very law abiding. Not to mention unemployment is incredibly low (considered to be “full employment”) so whatever jobs they “stole” Americans apparently found another one.
Took me a while but I learned one of my managers is highly likely to shoot down any idea that isn’t his. So during planning sessions I started describing partial ideas and pretending I didn’t know how to solve the last leg of the problem so he could jump in and say, “Oh, what if we did…” Still kind of pisses me off I have to feign ignorance but since I started doing that things have gone way smoother.
New admin will do its part by discouraging pregnancy and encouraging people to die sooner.
Not used up per se but sequestered. It’s water that nobody will ever get to drink or use for crops, etc.
Obviously the fault of too many studies. /s
AI takes the core directive of “encourage climate friendly solutions” a bit too far.
A drawer option would’ve been sweet. I love my 5.25" drawer. Perfect for flash drives, dongles, extra screws, little screwdriver, or a hiding spot almost nobody would know is there.
No no. Those trees died of natural causes. /s
It’s past time to delete X. The platform is just as bad as it was a year ago. People couldn’t be bothered to do the simplest fucking thing until they realize, “Whoops! I was supporting fascism!”
Lenny was insanely effective and didn’t even need AI.
Yarn and Tamagotchi. 😒
