Not just cruise ships, but practically every boat with a bed in it. People sailing on small boats all around the world have starlink now. It's kind of a game changer in a lot of ways for small boats.
Most people hyping their AI use mention the short-term gains without taking into account how it affects overall long-term success. We are creatures of convenience.
>Sometimes I race AI i give it a prompt /bug to fix and at the sametime im greping/symboling through the codebase and tryto fix it myself. AI isn’t always faster.
+1 - this is also my experience. I also "race" the AI on some tasks, especially when it's simple and the AI is taking forever to return a result - so it even has a head start, and I often complete it faster or around the same time.
For some things maybe it is faster, but it isn't really returning a better result. It often turns into spaghetti, doing things I didn't ask it to do.
Got it, so all those advances in medicine we were promised in exchange for higher electricity costs, global warming, and other pitfalls of AI were bunk?
They are trying to make it as unpleasant to drive as possible, and I don't really blame them - cars are a big factor in climate change, smog, etc. I gave up driving in the 90's because it was pretty obvious even back then.
You're right, but you'd be lucky if a real human actually reviews any code. At my company, merging a PR still requires 2 humans to press "Approve" but I've been instructed that I don't need to read the PR, I only need to click "Approve". This is what 30 years of SWE experience is being used for now.
I heard about vitamin D during covid, and that and hand sanitizer are the only 2 things we still do. I haven't been sick for a few years. Before covid (and vitamin D supplements), it was at least 25 days sick every year, if not more.
Apple is also on the W3C committee that approves new specs, where they abuse that power to prevent any spec that might cut into their app business from moving forward.
Apple will never implement anything in a browser that could make a web app as capable as a native mobile app, they are simply too greedy. Firefox typically doesn't implement these things unless they have to because they don't have the resources that Google and Apple do.
One guy spent 37 days in jail for re-posting a thing trump said ("We have to get over it" in reference to a school shooting), after Charlie Kirk was killed.
Most of us do care. Trump's approval rating is pretty low at 36%, and his disapproval rating is high. Just because he's still causing chaos doesn't mean the majority of us don't care about it. There's just no legal way to remove him, and his cronies simply won't do it - there's not enough votes in congress or he would have been gone after his first or second impeachment.
It's not good news if the AI companies have to raise their prices 10x to deliver the same service while paying down the crippling debt they've incurred getting everyone hooked on AI.
If my mechanic started charging 10x more to fix my car, I'd learn to fix my car.
The datacenter is still heating the atmosphere and consuming enormous amounts of electricity, which also heats the atmosphere. And it still won't solve our global climate disaster and is far more likely to contribute to a lot of bad things happening for humans.
Except very few people will actually be able to buy beetroot or anything else because there won't be any jobs. The wealth is all concentrating at the top into very few hands.
I'm paying about $0.19/hr and using half that power just for a large spinning RAID, running some VMs and security cameras. And I'm reconsidering my digital extravagance because of the electric bill. You probably make way more money than I do.
Even if we didn't have capitalism, people would still need energy, for everything. It's unfortunate that fossil fuels were the easiest thing to use to generate energy over the last couple of centuries, and that it continues today. Maybe capitalism makes it easy for fossil fuels to remain entrenched, but I doubt any other kind of system would make fossil fuels less pervasive if it were the dominant energy source for over a century.
