This is just the fallacy. Political groups are coalitions not single monoliths.

I’ve seen a tremendous amount of content about AI water usage, mostly from pro AI sources. The most common type is comparing AI to particularly water intensive agriculture.

The result is that now I think water usage should be taken into account when siting data centers. Great Lakes and eastern seaboard fine, maybe not as much in California or Arizona.

Responding to tone but not to content is what a dog does.

Why would we expect John Deere to have a low AI adoption curve? It's main product line is just as computerized as Tesla's.

Geologically speaking it's just one really cool layer.

Code quality is a tactical concern and products live or die on strategy.

I wouldn't recommend neglecting tactics if your strategy doesn't put you on the good side of a generational bubble though.

There's a reason we had a few years of heavy anti police protest across the US.

Safety and freedom is incompatible with direct political control. Respect for truth is a false value if what truth is is to be put to a vote or changed to match the whims of whoever is in power.

The decline of technic sets is such a shame. There's so little support for anything but representative models of specific cars, despite the platform being able to support a ton of mechanical creativity.

To be fair that's more than a little bit present in most superhero media.

You aren't renting walking distance to a butcher baker and candlestick maker for less than $3K for a studio. That's an aspirational lifestyle for a few neighborhoods.

Deeply hate this. Just add a small fee. It's just a couple bucks. What are you, cheap?

Open Source Software underwrites everything. It makes the largest human endeavors work. It makes silly ephemeral games little notes apps and digital art run. Turning maintainers into a kind of digital landlord that charges a fee is both insultingly low bore and enough to squeeze the life out of computing as a hobby.

Folding drying racks come in several shapes and are very affordable.
