I’m down to 75% on my 13mini. I recently picked up a magsafe battery pack that gets me through the day when I’m traveling and can’t charge.

I was considering swapping out the phone battery but this is a better alternative for now.

Ukraine’s TV personality leader, Volodymyr Zelenskyy seems to be doing alright. Also went into war, but not of their own doing, and he has been measured, insightful, aware, throughout this whole war.

There’s more to it than Trump being a TV show personality. Far too complex and insidious than a simple quip.

My understanding over the US/MX cartel relations is performing an invasion and “act of war” would solidify asylum status claims by Mexican residents and throw a wrench into the whole immigration scheme every administration plays.

But then again this time seems different, laws aren’t followed or upheld. Human rights are a fleeting staple.

The water pact is even more specific in that at least WI I believe you have to be East of the subcontinental divide to pull water from Lake Michigan.

Another poster mentioned real estate peaking in a zip code of AZ for having limited access to fresh water. I wonder how long until real estate along the great lakes starts becoming a long term hedge.

This robot is going to put all the children out of work at the Hyundai factory in Georgia. Or maybe their child labor augments the robot for tight to reach areas?

Before I got my degree I was a machinist/ millwright and doing various things in between. Took a break after covid to go back for a little to decompress from tech but inevitably came back to programming.

Love the work but hate the pay and toll it took on my body.

Carpentry is fun too but metal is better.

Próxima Centauri is about 250 million years older than our sun. Makes it not-impossible their earth like planet had advanced entities capable of sending their own voyager towards earth. Possibly it flew by while we were still in our Mesozoic Era and all they saw were dinosaurs.

This is how I look at Meta as well. Despite how much it is hated on here fb/ig/whatsapp aren’t dying.

AI not getting much better from here is probably in their best interest even.

It’s just good enough to create the slop their users love to post and engage with. The tools for advertisers are pretty good and just need better products around current models.

And without new training costs “everyone” says inference is profitable now, so they can keep all the slopgen tools around for users after the bubble.

Right now the media is riding the wave of TPUs they for some reason didn’t know existed last week. But Google and meta have the most to gain from AI not having any more massive leaps towards agi.

The people I know from BNSF will tell you that name stands for Better Not Start a Family.

I’ve worked with and known former engineers who left, took lower paying jobs in other industries and not one has ever said I miss it there.

Let’s not even get started on what that industry has evolved into with precision scheduled railroading and the dramatic increase in risk and real derailments that have followed.

All corporate or just expensive US based corporate employees? I didn’t see any specifics listed besides “pandemic era over hiring”. I think their talking points were pulled from an old 1pager this should have been “due to efficiency gains in AI”.

Earnings report in 3 days maybe they were a few metric shy.
