I personally think forcing less well off people to use worse modes of transport (or not travel at all) is not a well thought out scheme for reducing environmental impact. For me, it doesn't matter because my main mode of transport is a

I don't think the person you reply to conflates "information diet" with "tech". They are just saying that their information diet consists for a large part of tech news, and other people have other information diets

In my country (for people with a so called "dynamic pricing" contract) the price of electricity already drops significantly when we have a load of green energy (wind, solar). I guess this is just a side effect of not having a well

My trick is to pass opus and fable's word salad into a haiku agent, then have it check if what haiku makes of it is still correct, then pass it to me. Whatever haiku outputs is often way more readable

I see these "In Europe" claims all over hackernews. You realize "In Europe" doesn't really exist? When you cross a country border, everything is different again.
