you mispelled 'every circle of hell'.

out of curiosity, why would you censor that word?

what does this even mean?

why would the ultra wealthy care about it being an ev? operating cost and climate impact are not a priority when you are dropping 650k and living in a oil rich ME kingdom.

performance and aesthetics s would be more important, surely?

1) the Biden administration didn't start the war with Iran.

2)Sleepy Joe didn't pick a fight with the Pope

and that's just in the last month!

but that won't change your mind. nothing will.

the Biden administration ( i hated sleepy Joe) was so much more competent and less corrupt then these guys.

it's not even close.

"Hunter bidens laptop!!" seems so distant and quaint.

the Pentagon declared Anthropic a supply chain risk, attempting to punitively destroy the company, then is adopting their product; please name a similarly asinine and farcical event from ANY administration.

your whataboutism is just not capable of standing up to the weaponized idiocy of these guys.

just tried it: i can't even use CSV files with Copilot...

Without coming across as overly rude, it is frankly astonishing how limited Copilot is.

I do not like being an MS customer or user.

it's an interesting question: how much more productive would we all be if we were all as savvy/literate/productive with computers as some hypothetical comparator (I'm not sure programmers are the right comparison to make)?

for example, i am in operations and strategy, but have always wanted to be more technical because i could see the value for many many tasks. however, the learning curve was steep and so learning and doing other things drove better returns for me.

now, LLMs make learning basic concepts and executing simple tasks extremely easy, and i am realizing a higher level of productivity then previously; i used codex to do a test data migration and then evaluate the data quality. i could simply not have done this previously, but it is a meaningful change for me, that i can execute on this.

there is no maintenance burden: i don't have to keep the code alive. it simply sped up an otherwise manual and non repeated task.

i think that's what's so interesting and concerning about this technology: i think power and productivity will flow more broadly across the workforce. this will result in relative winners and losers, and some who will experience no real change at all.

similarly to the costs and benefits of mobile devices diffusing technology access; it changed some things, it created winners and losers and yet our daily lives are recognizable to someone from 50 or even more years ago.

the culture section of this writeup links to explicitly adult/erotic content in the footnotes and discusses 'adult themes' directly. his caution seems reasonable.

why are you ignoring wind power in this argument thread?

you mean like when we deposed the Shah, creating the current regime?

you mean like when we invaded Iraq and Afghanistan? So many great examples of successful intervention to refer to!

you mean like Libya, right? or North Korea? should we fix them again too?

how... how do you hold this position without reading even just 20 years of history?

the no kings movement draws a line between no kings in the USA, and leaving other countries to pursue the same.

didn't Donald Trump campaign on no more foreign wars? doesn't America First mean not starting some forever war?

and if there is a good case for intervention: then make it! what are the objectives? Regime change? we killed most of their leadership, and they are still running the show. We killed Osama... and then fled Afghanistan decades later. why is there such a short memory in this case? these dudes HATE US: their recruiting propaganda gets more effective with every bomb we drop on them.

and if regime change is so important, than surely we will invade North Korea next right? and Russia? what about them? how about Venezuela? ohhh, yeah we left the regime in place, with no change for the people living under it.

perhaps was controlling oil the key objective? well... we stopped sanctioning the Iranian regime, and they are still in a position to stop traffic in Hormuz: the current terms they are asking gives them more control over the strait, rather than less?

so what the hell is our objective? can we just admit that we have no idea what we're doing, because we have no strategy?

Be an apologist for something that isn't truly riddled with internal inconsistency.

why is that relevant? Israel is a nation state, the others are 'terrorist groups'. are they equivalent? your response seems to imply that.

Interesting.

sounds like you might benefit from a tutorial!

but not universally. oil refineries were causing asthma and environmental degradation.

them moving to another state is a regulatory failure (they shouldn't have another jurisdiction to move to, they should just operate without imposing negative externalities on others, spelling of the refineries).

what value is clean air? what is the value of a human life? how much is your attention worth?

these are questions that capitalism should not answer, but will nevertheless try to.

that's sad.

my neighbors are wonderful and i like chatting to them.

are you the bad neighbor?

that's a good way to frame it, but it boils down to: what is it that these entities or individuals do that is valuable and how do you replicate parts or the whole of it.

which is essentially the direction that were heading in: we're sequentially and iteratively building improvements.

what the logistics company did pre computers and even pre trucks was not all that different in many aspects.

the future will be via evolution not revolution.

can you share what vehicle that is? i don't know why you wouldn't just name it in the post...

i thought Sinners was so overhyped. mediocre performances (great music!) and a terrible plot (why were the vampires forced to ask for permission to enter, and then able to storm the building a few scenes later? was there no better way to resolve that then just forget about it)

loved OBAA (incredible pacing!) but had its flaws too

arguing on hn

fwiw i share the same interpretation as the other commenter.

this just isn't true though.

how does it feel to be misinformed yet opinionated?

i have helped several major oil and companies migrate core infrastructure to the cloud.

plus, by the time you steal data relating to seismic surveys and reservoir analysis, you're years to late to exploit it as a competitor.

you're describing Israel here, right?

speak for yourself.

Could someone explain how they are doing this, safely and without detection or damage to municipal property?

So?

Sorry but you have not done the math on the energy costs too pump water from the ocean.

Why on earth is this the top post?

*John?

I hear 'servus' used frequently in southern Germany, it seems like a greeting. Interesting.
