If that’s all it was, it wouldn’t be bad. Unfortunately the reason they want to use ai is because it will be more complicated than that. Think - you need to fly somewhere vs you are thinking of flying somewhere. Data brokers will provide the ai with information about your job, your (and your family’s) health, funerals, etc.

The software tech bro thing started with a letter from Bill Gates to the hobbyists that despite learning to program on freely available software, and copying a freely available language with his new version of Basic, everyone needs to stop sharing and pay to use software. They all have wet dreams of pulling out the ladder and owning everything. I wouldn’t put it past them to try to nullify copyleft or something like that.

Whenever I go to a new place, I try to make a small improvement with gomap or every door. Now, I can look at my commit history and see everywhere interesting I’ve been.

It is arson. Digging up and burning accelerating amounts of fossil fuels for decades after we all know about anthropogenic climate change due to the greenhouse effect and fighting against any transition of any kind is arson.

Not always. Wide open fields get baked dry mid summer in a lot of local climates.

Not only that, but livestock can still graze under panels, on grass that often grows just as well with a little shade.

In the article, this isn’t about pollution but sediment from very nearby construction. Yeah, that happens. Kind of why most decent municipal governments plan out stuff so you don’t have people on wells right next to giant buildings. The common exception being gravel quarries, they do regularly disrupt locals wells. This is on them. You should be building data centres in light industrial zones where everyone nearby is on city water.

There’s no way that’s not satire making fun of trumps asinine speech patterns.

Nothing prevents user error. Except, I guess, something impossible to use.

Best you can do is report spam. If enough do that, it’ll give their IT dep a headache.

Not entirely the case. There are several companies that market primarily to business users that offer freebies to hobbyists -because those hobbyists sometimes eventually get to buy services for their employer.

Parquet is great, especially if there is some reasonable way of partitioning records - for example, by month or year - if you might need to only search 2024 or something like that. Parquet is great for only needing to I/O the specific variables you are concerned with, and if you can partition the records and only subset a fraction of them, operations can be extremely efficient.
