Backup generators are the only reasonable alternative at this scale if the grid goes down. Battery banks last minutes, and are only good to allow for diesel to kick in.

Well, at least someone put a bit of elbow grease into that tomfoolery.

Would Mozilla even exist without all the Google money over the years?

People travel, which can make access to good screens difficult (think flights, busses).
Such glasses are not cheap, but provide virtually unlimited screen space wherever you are.

You think these people code?

My texts are rubbish because, somehow, the keyboard predictions & autocorrect are worse now than 5 years ago. We have LLMs barfing out fully coherent sentences on their own, how does this even happen.

And how that is used to make trees

Empathy? Never heard of it
These people

Well I wouldn't recommend data & analytics right now, if you treasure your sanity.
Imagine tech debt accumulated over decades absolutely skyrocketing because LLM can generate thousands of lines of SQL or Python that noone understands.

I mean, I'm sure the same applies to all tech sectors and likely worse. I do admit it also helps us fix and uncover some old and buried bugs. It's just not used with any sort of care or long term plan.

The wheels are built extremely thin (0.75mm aluminium) to save on weight. The rover is incredibly heavy (340kg/750lbs in Mars gravity) on those paper-thin wheels, I'm really amazed it held this far.

I don't think recycling code is embarrassing? No-one can be expected to write a new codebase from scratch for every new product or machine. That would be worse than building on top of a solid foundation.

Absolutely nothing, plus 7zip can be faster with better compression.
Well, apparently it can do some recovery of corrupted .rar, but who uses that format anyway

Silo. Loved the books, the show is good too.

Postapocaliptic isolated society kind of thing with a mystery aspect, for those unaware. Lots of twists.

Let's be honest, you have to be extremely careless to have agents running destructive commands freely in prod

Wise man indeed, way ahead his time apparently

'You know what would look sick in our massive, empty warehouse?'

If your chatbot is shitting code, don't contribute to anything important. LLM is a navigation, you're the one behind the wheel, and ultimately responsible for where you end up.

It could be the pressure of 'staying pretty'
making them hate themselves for eating to the point of detriment. I understood that ozempic, the weight loss drug, is also widely used, which could be additional peer pressure.
These people are constantly scrutinised under a microscope, it's a lot to handle.

Obviously all speculations, there could be other reasons.

No, this is BS and not how the real world works. If would be fine if you've left it as a meme. Developers (in corps) don't decide what they'll work on.

I'd go fat from eating so much pizza
