Imho it's not silly. You have to look at the impact it has on aggregate. WFH is going to prevail in the medium to long term. It's inevitable.

We all care about what others think. We are social creatures with that experience real consequences for anti-social behavior. You still have to filter things and pick your battlea.

Fwiw my question was rethorical. And it was meant to highlight that even if you have the tech (which we don't - the cheap tricks chatgpt or copilot do are impressive but still cheap tricks - are super expensive when it comes to actuall

Just wait until ai invents its own npm that people are no longer able to understand. Good luck with that.

This brings a very interesting question: if you could have an AI software engineer today but it would cost you 1 trillion dollars, would you want and be able to afford it? There is a reason why we still have people working at McDonald'

I don't think this was the intent of the GF comment. Of course that if you've been conditioned for something that is no longer a choice. If you have a broken leg and someone tells you to walk it off you're going to think they

Have you considered using an AI bot to help you balance various aspects carefully? :)

This kind of severance is a thing of the past. I predict a new type of employement will emerge as a result of the late stage capitalism we are experiencing: the just in time employment. Where you are technically employed all the time but yo

Here is one: i don't have to commute for 2 hours each day and out of those hours I spend 1.5 hours working. So i work 5*1.5 morr hours in any given week.

Not saying it'd a good idea. Was just pointing out that it is possible. Also the Apple Privacy dog and pony show is getting old and most people nowadays see right through it.

The difficulty gets periodically adjusted to generate a block roughly every 10 minutes. It's not really about efficiency as it's about computing power and available miners. If it's not economically beneficial to mine (costs m

That's not how it works. It actually adjusts to the available computing power. This is builtin to the protocol.

Not sure where bitcoin got dragged into the conversation. Also not sure how BTC becomes less efficient by design. The hardware BTC is mined on has improved exponentially over time moving from general purpose cpus to gpus to custom asics.

Or another way to look at it: this is day one. Usage will just continue to growth.

Let's figure out if it's better: Can you watch porn on the Quest 3? Yes, yes you can.

But does it need more power than the whole country of Argentina or not? Should we ban AI because of the ridiculous power consumption and the negligible return compares to the environmental damage caused?

Using the same line of reasoning: drug dealers use the us dollar. I don't want to have anything to do with drugs and drug dealears therefore I want nothing to do with any environment that uses us dollars.

Wow. That's a really high horse you're riding over there. Are you saying that the "crypto bros" are using free electricity to power the likes of bitcoin? If they are paying for the electricity what are you actually argui

This is unsubstantiated by the fact that it does not make sense to mine on GPUs. And it hasn't made sense in years.

But let's blame it on crypto anyway? This makes zero sense

Strenght training is corellated with increased bone density and slowing down muscle loss as you age. It's really important. Also, strength training does not necessarily mean benching 3 plates. Also it does not mean 0 cardio.

+1 Everyone should be into exercise, nutrition, sleep and social interactions. It does not matter how old you are. You can build a foundation right now that is going to help you have a good quality of life for decades.

That's the point though. You should let people that PAY for electricity use it however they want. If it's profitable to mine bitcoin this tells me that the price of the energy is too low.
