Someone like Electrify America will buy it up.

They didn’t budge on Recall either. All of this is just driving away customers.

Hopefully sites like Wikipedia and Internet Archive already have backup sites not located in the US.

What show is this?

Interesting article. I do wonder why a more of the data centers aren’t located in colder climates. I’ve read people are investigating piping/reusing the waste heat to warm homes and businesses in colder cities. There was one data center (not AI related) that was using their heat to warm an indoor pool.

The water usage they mention looks like it’s for cooling. I’m guessing they mean evaporative coolers? That would mean that the water wouldn’t have to be potable. Requiring the systems to use grey water might help. I also wonder if they could be located on the coastline and just use filtered seawater.

The other interesting point was about the amount of electricity at these places used to generate content. Some device manufacturers are moving towards on device AI. I’m guessing that would use a lot less electricity.

And then weren’t there some recent advances in AI models that didn’t require as much computing power? Maybe this will help dial back their electrical use.

It just seems like in the race to get ahead in AI, people are throwing money and processing power at the problem without worrying about the environmental consequences. Of course that’s usually the way it’s done, all in the name of making money. It’s good to see the industry being called out for it.

It’s currently in human trials. That’s a lot closer than we’ve ever been.

I wonder if they could just add a caboose to every train that would clean off the panels as it travels over them.

“‘ Everyone thinks DOGE is great,’ another administration official said.”

Everyone?

“Musk clapped back by calling Bessent a ‘Soros agent’"

🙄

I don’t. The more they fight the less they get done.

Has he considered resigning?

I hope no one gets it. It should be its own separate company.

Pepsi has actually been diversifying to sell more than sugar water because they know people are moving away from it.

Great. When Tesla finally implodes under the weight of Musk, someone like Electrify America can buy up the charging network, repaint everything green, and slap their logo on it.

The new settings app in macOS is a ridiculous wall of text. So I prefer the one on the right.

Never had this problem with YouTube’s algorithm. If anything, it offers 20 more videos from the same channel after I watch just one.

Are you using the options where you tell it you don’t like this video/don’t recommend this channel/thumbs down the video? There are like three different ways to tell YouTube you’re not interested.

“It is a recognized ozone-depleting chemical… The compound was used extensively as a pesticide until being phased out by most countries in the early 2000s.”

“The Montreal Protocol stipulates that bromomethane use be phased out.”

I guess everyone is phasing it out except the US? Figures.

This actually sounds useful. You don’t have to send logs when filling a bug, and macos/ios logs are pretty much stripped of anything privacy-invading. You can view your logs if you have a Mac to see for yourself.

Using a computer to find similarities in crash logs means it’s faster for engineers to track down the cause and work on a solution.

Just adds clutter for me. There are already enough icons on by default and I’ve disabled a lot of them as it’s just not info I’m interested in. A setting to disable this one would be welcome. Thanks for your time and consideration!

Meh. I wouldn’t eat chicken these days either. You should see how it’s made. Corporate farming is abhorrent.
