Someone who needs to feed their family given that AI CEOs predicting that their technology will either destroy the world, take everyone's jobs or both.

Are they using Claude Code to author all of these systems as well?

Yes, as far as I've been told, they are. I imagine (hope) they run on a completely isolated version of it though.

Well, I suppose that explains things.

An apt name for something doing it's part to spike energy consumption and accelerate the climate crisis.

The climate crisis is primarily a consequence of fossil fuels, not necessarily energy demand. I feel like its a poor conflation, despite it possibly being a truism depending on where the datacentre is based and what power source feeds it.

If we're keeping gas and coal plants online to power this or using gas generators to power data centers, I'd consider that a wasteful contributing factor.

but we could also argue that not investing in extra non-fossil fuel capacity is the issue here. OR not investing in more research on super conductors and/or storage. Iceland could possibly export considerable amounts of renewable energy if we licked those problems.

I mean, under the same logic couldn't we kinda argue that TV has ruined the planet? A lot of energy for something of debatable physical value. OR Motor racing, football, The Olympic games? All that energy and waste just to find out who can throw a stick the furthest every four years.


I suppose one could, but none of those are primary economic drivers with dim prospects for turning a profit (well, I suppose that may be true of TV).

I’ve never had an issue with Backblaze. I mirror my buckets to iDrive who, so far, have also been perfectly fine.

Turns out users don't want your AI features. But, sure, paint the dumpster fire.

Disable Apple Intelligence summaries for sensitive app notifications too.

Given the quality of the summaries, you might want to keep them just for plausible deniability </s>

Well, they're not all men and they are meting out plenty of violence, civil rights violations and lies in court that are getting cases thrown out left and right.

Lying about killing civilians, lying about being assaulted with a sandwich, lying about a college professor trying to move a gas canister away from someone in a wheelchair.

ICE should be abolished and they should all be barred from future public service.

They’re not vigilantes. But ICE is a paramilitary with no accountability.

In the sense that they’re against the law, yes. But they are organised groups violently disrupting law enforcement because they’ve convinced themselves this is the right thing to do.

ICE is the organized group engaged in violence.

Wonderful. Can it run Doom?


RIP Magawa. Animals are wonderful. My grandmother had seizures for the latter part of her life and her doctors were unable to determine the root cause. A Great Dane mix her and my grandfather rescued was able to sense when one a fit was coming on and would lean on her until she was lying down and safe.


This is no more art than a container of corn syrup is a proper meal.


So it’s perfect for the times. :(
