AI content, AI bots in the forums, AI telemarketing, AI answering machines, AI everything. AI will make IRL and stuff like audited national encyclopedias important again. Gone is the promise of the internet. And this is the real reason why anonymity will not be possible online. If we can’t identify the poster as a human, it will mean nothing…

Anything that is more about talking to different parties rather than documenting and being the one to deliver. the more specialised people the better you connect, the bwtter. They will love your ability to see the patterns of the work place, your helicopter perspective. That will help them to test their ideas, to understand the concepts and what their task is all about. They will also love that you will not micro manage (as long as you dont end up hyperfocusing on their topic) and let them do their thing.

Don’t be the specialist. Don’t be the one that tries to have an eye on all the details, all the numbers. I tried to be an accountant for a while…

That’s not a straight line, although it is possible to follow without changing direction😊

Well… Its built on statistics and statistical inference will return to the mean eventually. If all it ever gets to train on is closer and closer to the mean, there will be nothing left to work with. It will all be the average…

An LLM once explained to me that it didn’t know, it simulated an answer. I found that descriptive.

I did not in any way mean to suggest sensitivity is not a factor, only to suggest that light sensitivity may be more of a spectrum and that there are persons living in a darker world than others. So, it may not be a person on the top of the bell curve that need more light, but someone on the other end of the spectrum entirely.

Since the top comment in this thread was about needing more light in an already bright room i meamt to say that there might be reasons why people around us prefer 1 or 100000 lumen…

Apparently all eyes are not created equal in ability to transfer light to the retina. Some has narrower or wider fields of vision as well. So, where your eyes may be well adapted to low light levels, others may not be. In a world with no artificial shadows and the sun high on the sky for most of the year, being able to filter out sun light might have been a pro, while now needing lots of artificial lights to see straight.

As predicted. The EU policies on solar will drive the same excess in every country. Germany is also going for hydrogen with a large hydrogen network already built and excess electricity would be a great source of power for green hydrogen production (which is vehemently inefficient, but if it’s free…)

I know what you mean. The oldest building i pass every day is from dates from 1250, but compared to the parts of Europe rich in architecture that’s not really very old…

Just renove the ball and it becomes obvious

I have a natural distrust against anything that is sold as being the best shit ever.

“Leftist”, “centrist” and “conservative”? This is not a the open discussion it is made out to be.

Having said that, those “traditional” values mentioned could easily be replaced with conservative values, especially when compared to the very individual, almost liberal, value of freedom to express oneself it is hard to see anything being “leftist” in the premiss of the discussion. Unless you are so far off the scale to the right that everything looks left…

Oh my… Last time I read pieces like this, the new architecture was called bulldozer.

I’m not entirely sure how to phrase this, but… Today there are choices…

Well, frankly, Northern Maine isn’t very much north and not enough inland to get the extremes?

Most of Scandinavia has been below -15F for a good part of the new year and being relatively dense (for Scandinavia) in EV coverage I’d say Norway is the best example of EV very cold weather performance.

We’ve had this same “debate” here as well with ice-owners lamenting the perceived loss of range and EV-owners responding “I know, don’t care. Always works, always warm and always topped up”.

And that’s the reasoning that is no longer working for the tobacco industry. “What do you mean, my fault? I only provided the gun, and the ammo and…”

So, if tobacco companies are now sued for knowing about the I’ll effects while continuing production, Opec will face the same fate some day. When 1,5c is no longer obtainable, the world will want a scale goat.

There is more to this than meets the eye.
