Your title is very sensationalized. The actual title: From bootcamp to bust: How AI is upending the software development industry And the contents of the article talking about AI being the final nail in the coffin of coding bootcamps that w

These don't seem like very big problems, but it will be interesting to see how Norway deals with an aging population while maintaining its very generous social programs. They are probrably the best suited country in the world to handle

I am not a Tailwind user but I am a big fan of these "headless" web components. I have been using home-grown web components for tabs, modals, drawers, dropdown, tooltips, toasts and selects they implement functionality and accessi

It would make getting a Birkin-like bag as easy as any other but not a Birkin Bag since Hermes owns and controls the distribution of those. You can already get a Birkin quality bag for a fraction of the price and you can get a Birkin lookin

Money is symbolic. You still have private ownership and trade. If I have a house on a beach and you want that house, something of value to each party has to be traded. Even if you don't call it money, it still functions as money.

This doesn't seem true. The luxury goods market is huge, and the utility of luxury goods vs basic goods is extremely little to none at all. People will still want to signal their status and will still find ways in a post-scarcity world

The stuff that HN lets fly here about certain groups would surely get the posters banned if they were about any other groups.

The xAI datacenters do use batteries though. The batteries have advantages for providing a clean power supply and not tripping the grid when large workloads start or finish. According to the article, 2 GW would require 8-10 Solar GW and 35-

Austin's "value of solar" is the opposite of net metering. 100% of the solar you produce goes back into the grid, which is bought at some cheap rate, and then you buy back your own electricity at retail rates. You litterally

Also, having a bunch of batteries on the grid would make a black start much easier.

"Full capacity" backup looks different when you have sufficient batteries on the grid. Building enough backup generation to hit peak capacity would entail a lot more gas plants than building enough to hit average capacity and usin

Where are you reading that? You are allowed to buy and scan books, and then used those scanned books to create products. I guess you are also allowed to pirate books and use the knowledge to create products if you are willing to pay the dam

The music pie is bigger now but it is split between more people. Spotify brings in the most revenue for musicians as a whole.

Correct, the New York Times and Disney are suing for the output side. I am going to hazard a guess that you won't be able to circumvent copyright and trademark just because you are using AI. Where that line is has yet to be determined

I agree, a solar pergula would be good and hardly noticeable. A fidge is only going to use 1.5-2kWh per day. A medium sized pergola would give you more power than that. Since you aren't opening and closing the fridge in the middle of t

I don't think there should be many (if any at all) copyright restrictions on training. This doesn't give AIs the right to violoate copyright laws in its output. Plus stopping AIs from training may also stop just gathering metadata

I am huge believer in the eventual dominance of battery-electric vehicles, but these tax incentives are very inefficient. The money would be better spent on R&D into batteries and motors. The time would be better spent making it easier

Yep, that why I never write anything out using mathmatical expressions. Natural language only baby!

How confident should other people be that random people in conversation or commentors on the internet are at accurately predicting the future? I strongly believe that nearly 100% are wrong in both major and minor ways. Also, when you say yo

These AI water articles are all terrible. Data centers could use no water but more power. The evaporative cooling is to save energy. In fact it would still save energy to desalinate water and use that for evaporative cooling. But none of th

Removing all plastic from landfills wouldn't really change anything. Landfills are already lined to prevent leaking for decades and then there are monitoring systems for heavy metals and other harmful chemicals anyway.

by megaman821 1y ago
Landfilling plastic is fine. The problem is introducing disposable plastic to places without adequate waste management. If people are just going to throw their empty containers into the river, paper will quickly degrade and glass will sink

Stuff like the Muslim ban was pretty bad the first round of Trump, but it didn't seem to motivate the Democrats to start limiting the Executive branch in any way when they got back to power. I am pretty sure, it will be the same next t

Usually I think saying both-sides is pretty lazy, but has any Congress in the last few decades done anything but delegate more of their authority to someone else? One party always complains about Executive Orders and interference when the o

That just isn't a real problem. A single large American landfill could take 100 years worth of wind turbine blades and not even be 25% full. If we were so inclined, we could also shred them and add them to concrete for sidewalks or the
