"The utility told regulators in April that it expected to use natural gas plants to provide about three-quarters of the additional power that would be needed by 2030" Not a good news here.

I tend to see today's AI Vibrators as the managers of the 00s and their army of offshore devs.

That's also part of my reasoning. I don't want to feel uncomfortable because of whatever customization I would be missing or make other people unable to use whatever environment or computer I work with. Most of the time, I am not allowed to plug a personal device or modify the setup anyway.

But I am cool with people that customize everything, from software to hardware, as long as this is not in the path of other people. Everyone can find its one and best way to work :)

I am always amazed by the dedication and craftmanship that keyboard enthusiasts put in their creation.

In the meantime, I have spent my life following the opposite path : minimizing all form of customization so that I can switch computer at any time without feeling lost or missing something ( I have to use computers from several clients all the time).

Thank you ! I am so tired of all those unmaintainable nor debugable notebooks. Years ago, Databricks had a specific page on their documentation where they stated that notebooks where not for production grade software. It has been removed. And now you have a chatgpt like in their notebooks ... What a step backwards. How can all those developers be so happy without having the bare minimum tools to diagnosis their code ? And I am not even talking about unit testing here.

Interesting! It is probably one of the worst trick I have seen in a while for a bar graph. Never seen this one before. Trust vanishes instantly facing that kind of dataviz.

Even starting at 30%, the MMLU graph is false. The four bars are wrong. Even their own 73,7% is not at the right height. The Mixtral 71.4% is below the 70% mark of the axis. This is really the kind of marketing trick that makes me avoid a provider / publisher. I can't build trust this way.

Corporate customers that runs AWS, GCP or Azure at not looking for alternative outside of their cloud providers. Most solution architecture are designed with the assumption that all your ressources will be inside the same vnet or subnet, in a given cloud provider. And I am not talking about any egress fees yet.

Candid question : if this is european legislation, how browser editor would handle this regional specific requirement ? Provide several flavor of their browser ? I doubt people and companies from outside europe would agree to use a european flavored version of their browser.

Dell. For years, for thousands of laptops at my company. Mostly due to the "Next Business Day Onsite Service". I won't argue that laptops are not all built the same across all brands, but what's make the difference for me, as a corporate customer, is the associated service/warranty. Knowing that I or my colleagues will have their laptop repaired or replaced within 24h is (almost) priceless. We loose more money when a teammate can't work during a day than purchasing the extended warranty. Also, I am a european customer, so my experience may differ with the services offer in US or Canada.
