Hear me out: what i, this is a plot to boost vegan numbers. Given latest stats huge portion of population does not use or see any use in AI - i.e. can be claimed AI vegans so in aggregation reports those could be viewed as a subset of Vegans… resulting in undeniable truth that 90%+ of population are vegan now

that probably goes along with that $20M zuck offered to AI professionals. Yeah, we’ll pay you $20M a year, you’ll be spent around 6mon into the job your productivity will be 60% so… (taps calculator) we get f#ck all for a sh%t ton of money and destroy people… letsdoit!

Incorrect. In certain areas (like mine) only grass grows very well and is very prolific chocking off any other species. Grazers make a lot more sense and a lot less impact. Including soil build-up for future crop raising.

incorrect assessment: unions will gladly collaborate with 3rd party corps if it benefits them. Also unions protect interests of their members, not entire humanity…

this only holds for industrial red meat. I love it when everything gets lumped together and presented as “evidence”. Non-industrial, small scale farming actually can have reverse effect. But we don’t talk about avoiding industrial products, because… why? 100mile diet that includes sustainably raised meat (white, red blue - whatever) from local farm will have minimal impact on environment. Shall we talk about avocados in Canada or Almonds? Study lacks nuance and produces flashy headings with no substance.

they will be integrating it on service side if I read it correctly so the choice of client would be non-important

I’m confused: why do we have an issue of AI bots crawling internet practically DOS’ing sites? Even if there’s a feed of synthesized data it is apparent that contents of internet sites plays role too. So backfeeding AI slop to AI sounds real to me.

from recent reports there’s a bunch of Canadian billionaires backing the effort, hoping for DOGE style purge of governmenr

yes, but this time it will be properly dismissed as “fake news”

we’ve got pineWatch so why not pebble? PineWatch is OK but it’s.not pebble. It was an amazing low tech that was actually extremely useful

My opinion is that of the two Postres is more “adult”. So if you want to"just wing it" MariaDB would work, but if you’re serious Postgres is a better choice. However Postgres also requires better understanding of you setup etc. So it’s a ROI game - what’s more important to your project, how complex your DB is, what are the requirements for availability, transaction security etc. There is no “better” or “worse” there’s “feasible” and “prohibitive” 😉

“are you a chicken Marty? Are you?” jeez… so mid-to-highschool 🤦

we can only hope fb implodes sooner rather than later. I personally know multiple people working there who are very decent human beings who need to pay bills. I just hope their current trajectory will force employee action and paralyze fb long enough to hurt. Unlike other places it’s not so simple to just hire a load of IT professionals and have any meaningful results short term, esp. if they have not been ramped up to speed by their colleagues. So it’s not impossible, bowever tolerance threshold is kind of high for any action to take place. Wads of cash, unpaid mortgages and all. Employees of big tech are truly living in gold cages…

I wonder whether alternative solutions were discussed: like Google retaining integration but breaking off Maps division into it’s own entity that has to use same API’s as everyone else and use the same integration points. Would’ve been more user-friendly thing to do.

funny, on the same day we get a headline about Germany energy prices dipping into negatives mainly due to renewables… hmmm

the most dangerous assumption either camp is making is that AI is and end-solution. Whre 8n fact it’s just a tool. Like invented steam machines they can do a lot more than humans can but they are only ever useful as tools that humans use. Same here AI can have value as a tool to digest large chunks of data and produce some form of analysis providing humans with “another datapoint” but it’s ultimately up to humans to make the decision based on available data.

I’m not convinced what you run into is a specific podman issue. It’s a resource issue and configuration issue likely. “vanila” podman with proper rootless containers will run as much workload as machine can handle from my experience. My company costomers seem to be running production workloads with it just fine.

Oh wait, by rootless container you really meant running podman rootless? still don’t see an issue though. What specifically are you doing? I mean, what’s the configuration and what’s the workload?

is this “Making bacon with Makon”?

“afford fewer and fewer things” needs correction: most “things” are being turned into “services” so people end up owning nothing and being forced to overpay for “service” they never asked for

you’d be one of few. Most people don’t mind compensating others for services, but when services turn to extortion and lock-in with sub-par digital content players piracy becomes a lot more attractive. Not many can afford 4-5 subscriptions (with Prime you need sun-subscriptions too) and all of it’s expense and complexity. Singular aggregate platform with a cost equaling today’s single subscription cost would probably eliminate good chunk of “piracy”. We can only watch so much in a day so given that streaming companies price things out and provision for that there’s no more impact on them if multi-service subscription costs the same as a single-service and it will reduce need for piracy, as it’s also a hassle to look for content and get all twitchy whether you going to get trojaned or swatted for doing so.
