Sounds like this isn't about carbon, then. It's about control. There are already electric aircraft either in the works or soon available that could handle short-haul flights all day long, but if they're interested in preventi

What about electric airplanes for short-haul flights?

When that happens, it’s because AI is doing all labor. That point is the singularity.

Ask your boss for that! Float the idea at a team standup or something a couple of times. Advocate for having engineering roadmap to address tech debt and increase performance. Many times you'll get it if you can articulate the need for

People who are healthy enough to live another 30 years will see people being born on Moon and Mars and food being grown in vertical farms on both Moon and Mars and in space. And then another 30 and we'll hit 100 billion. Then another 3

You are wrong because without vertical farming humanity will not be able to scale to hundreds of billions of souls as easily. And vertical farming will be necessary on Moon and Mars and Venus and Europa and Pluto and beyond. And we have unl

It is known that vertical farms are very cost efficient, or can be. They can outproduce traditional farms in terms of yield given inputs. If that can be increased further, they should be built as open source technologies as much as possible

Yes.

Yes but then you have shipping constraints that results in refrigeration and pesticide practices which destroy the underlying nutrient content and flavor of the produce. Whereas with local vertical farms, you have Byzantine machinery that e

Increase the easy widespread availability of cheap fresh locally-grown fruits and vegetables. Build as many vertical farms as are needed to always have drone-delivery of fresh produce. Build it at such a scale that anyone can order as much

I suspect most gig workers do it as a side hobby or side project before having the necessary experience to start scaling a business of their own. Or to supplement other income.

Could investing in more automation keep this legacy going? Also, huge thanks to Smithsonian Mag for writing a quality piece on something this important and beautiful. Very amazing legacy and photos and writing to capture. It causes me to co

This is really amazing news. This in addition to rapid global adoption of renewables at the present rate are remarkable and encouraging breakthroughs.

Nice, this is great for the user.

Nice, I like lots of banks across the land.

The smartest money flips the output of the GPUs, more precisely. Flipping GPUs is just a side project.

It always seemed as something people do for a cool tech project or bragging rights, not to maintain it as a daily driver. Sort of like building and running arch linux from source. Sure, there are people who daily drive it really well...but

Net zero means that the over-all result is zero. There will still be fossil fuel operations ongoing after net zero is achieved, until the economics of it don't make sense anymore. For projects that were already in the works, this makes

We need leaders who lead. If they are openly anything, that should be incidental. I don't care if they are or are not openly atheist. It is irrelevant to have people who are openly atheists just for the sake of them being openly atheis

No you don’t. Community college is not that expensive, plenty of jobs offer partial or more tuition reimbursement, and if you get good grades you will have scholarships and grants available. You may have some need left over if you need hous

It’s a land of freedom, bravery, respect, kindness, love, law, and innovation. Of course great minds will abound and innovate faster in those places. America is amazing. The land of innovation. A land of huge scale and growing rapidly still

This is going to change because too much money in indexes means not enough capital is chasing winners, and is instead enjoying the rising tide. That is okay and it is sustainable. But it still means that the upside for the ones who do chase

Kinda true, but the speed and quality and scope make a difference. A principal moves much faster than a senior, who moves much faster than a junior, who moves much faster than an intern. The comp and responsibilities need to justify the tit

My 16" MBP would be a perfect device if they could either put the webcam/sensor array behind the glass or just get rid of it. If I want to FaceTime I can use an iPad or iPhone as a peripheral attachment. At this point, virtually p

Could be. Lots of disgruntled employees, way fewer engineers, etc. What would Occam's Razor suggest? That the CEO of the company told them, in broad daylight, to make this conspiratorial change at this time? Or that it's an error?

I dominated a base-model m1 13" for almost two years, pushing it through startup engineering workflows. It handled everything admirably despite "just" 8gb of ram. I still have it but upgraded to the 16" for the bigger vi

I am curious what examples of power usage you are thinking of.
