”AI's global water footprint could reach 4.2–6.6 billion cubic meters by 2027” This is about as much as the annual consumption of the California almond farms. (An acre-foot is approximately 1200 cubic meters.) https://www.

Why is that? Vinyl has some unique characteristics. But as far as I’m aware, blu-ray is just a storage format for bits, so other than the box art, what is compelling about a blu-ray pressing?

Following your lead, I haven’t researched Örebro’s proposed policies. But I would find it surprising if “large scale remigration” really was scoped to an everyman’s definition of “few years”. I would expect that their targets for “large sca

For me, it's quite straightforward. If an app makes an unsolicited spammy push, it's notifications-off. No exceptions.

What sorts of processing times are you seeing for I-130 green card applications? I filed for my wife in late July, and we've still not received anything but a receipt notice.

Apps (such as Signal) that care about end-to-end encryption do their own key management. So, Apple / Google servers only ever see ciphertext, and don't have access to the key material that's used for the encryption.

It’s ironic seeing Gruber gripe about screen percentages used when his own website dedicates only about 50% of the screen width (on mobile) to content, and leaves the other half blank. Not to mention the light-grey-on-dark-grey and the tiny

Of course, the relevant thing for us as a species is whether or not the forecast temperatures are sustainable for us. The planet as a whole will do just fine. We're not going to break the planet. The reason that people bring up the hug

I think the offline storage situation is improved with the latest manifest structure, although I haven’t experimented in depth. I know that at least one of my PWAs has local data going back a couple years at this point. I really wish Appl

”I've never personally found a compiler bug.” I remember the time I spent hours debugging a feature that worked on Solaris and Windows but failed to produce the right results on SGI. Turns out the SGI C++ compiler silently ignored th

That's not at all what the person you responded to said. I'm not sure if you're intentionally misrepresenting their statement or if you're just reading too quickly or are under-caffeinated or whatever.

I’m one of those lucky ones! It sounds like you’re implying that most aphantasics have SDAM. Is that the case? Do you have any sources?

> ”They will not persist across many generations though” Why not? Is there some tempering mechanism on epigenetic transfer? I could imagine that some sperm-conferred epigenetic markers could continue down the male descendants unbroken.

Sure, but I am not one of them. I find myself wanting to code on trains and planes pretty often, and so local toolchains are always attractive for me.

Yeah I’d assume you’d eagerly load enough to make sure everything gets at least partially into the viewport, and maybe a fee more to optimize for network latency. And then perhaps track elements whose trailing ends are not in the viewport,

Moving this sort of stuff out of JavaScript and arcane hacks allows the browser rendering engines to optimize these common patterns. This is sorta the opposite of syntactic sugar. The syntactic sugar is the libraries that implemented these

Fwiw, you can neutralize tomato sauce with a little bit of baking soda. Start with a pinch, stir, wait thirty seconds, and taste to see if you need more.

No, this doesn't get at the point of end-to-end encryption. Better to look at it in terms of the parties involved -- E2EE implies that there are two or more parties , and that only some of those parties should have unencrypted access.

I, individually, am certainly much more productive in my side projects when using AI assistance (mostly Claude and ChatGPT). I attribute this to two main factors: First, and most important, I have actually started a number of projects that
