How does this help with the second issue, the write locks?

I keep a per project file like that with common commands and related things.

AI is so helpful for doing those kinds of tasks in the terminal that you only do a couple times a year and can never remember the exact incantation

The numbers have been so consistently wrong in the same direction. It could be that there are other things going on, but simply that volatile numbers come in later doesn’t seem to explain the bias.

Auth is actually really hard, with many really subtle high impact mistakes one can make.

I don’t know about you, but most everything I know on those subjects is self taught. University is overrated for computer science.

It doesn’t matter how much it filters out, if the top results are still spam.

I barely use Google anymore. Mostly just when I know the website I want, but not the URL.

I’ll take the contrarian view. I don’t care if content is generated by a human or by an AI. I care about the quality of the content, and in many cases, the human does a better job currently.

I would like a search engine algorithm that penalizes low quality content. The ones we currently have do a piss poor job of that.

Thrid for coding, after Anthropic, and Gemini, which was leading last I checked.

Those kinds of comments are a big LLM giveaway, I always remove them, not to hide that an LLM was used, but because they add nothing.

It depends very much on the quality of the questions. I get deep technical insight into questions I can't find anything on with Google.

It’s much less than decades. Unless you only drive once a week to the corner store.

Do you know what the environmental footprint of a software developer is?

I’m only half joking.

I came here to say this, but you explained it better than I could have. At 3% odds, it's not worth it to participate in this market because a money market fund gives a better return, even if you believe the odds of this happening are 0 (and they're never 0, there was a first coming of Jesus after all, you don't have to believe in the supernatural to see how it could happen.)

To be fair, you locked in a 300% gain, that's pretty good.

I've managed to lose 60% of my networth over the last 5 years. Mistakes were made.

Yes, I chose the example deliberately :)

I've got a friend who threw out $20M in bitcoin (at today's prices) by mistake. I wonder how often he thinks of that.

Currently true. You wouldn’t buy a pizza with bitcoin. But send several thousand dollars internationally - sure.

> Global oil demand is projected to increase in 2025 compared to 2024, but the growth rate is expected to slow down. The International Energy Agency (IEA) anticipates a decrease in global oil demand growth for the remainder of 2025, but expects demand to reach 104 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2025, a notable increase from 2024.

Perhaps you meant the pace of growth is slowing this year. But that has a lot to do with the macro economic situation, with central banks around the world cutting rates as growth slows (and some countries enter recession.) The global economy is slowing, when it rebounds again, so will growth in oil demand.

We're still far from peak demand.

Oil demand is still increasing worldwide. It won’t peak for at least a decade, but probably much longer.

There are more ICE cars on the road than ever.

It didn’t stop it. The Biden administration stopped it citing climate change as the reason.

Do you mean to propose this was the real reason behind the scenes? I find it hard to believe.

It’s not being replaced yet. Oil demand is higher than ever.

Solar doesn’t compete with oil, it competes with other electricity generation like coal and gas. But even that is not declining yet, globally.

Global coal demand may finally have reached its peak, if we’re being optimistic.

Natural gas and oil demand are still increasing.

People have been saying that for decades. Oil isn’t going anywhere anytime soon

Why wouldn’t it? Alberta pays more than it receives. It would be more capable of paying for services without Canada to hold it back.

He’s not doing anything though, it’s just words. In fact he said we don’t need more pipelines, don’t need to repeal bill C69, etc.

That wasn’t the issue

Usually it’s less severe because the pipeline has valves that shut off the flow.

It doesn’t work as well, it costs more. But it’s still better to use the train than to slow production

The oil doesn’t stay in the ground, it gets shipped via diesel trains without the pipeline.

I’m guessing climate change is the reason, but it’s hard to see how the current state of affairs is better for the environment. Diesel trains are a lot less carbon friendly than pipelines.

You’d need to overbuild by a ridiculous amount. I don’t think it’s currently close to viable.

That’s not the reason. The oil goes by train which is more polluting and has the same consequences when trains derail.
