The CSIRO renewables plan factors in only 2-4 hours of battery capacity (way less, with some already built) with the rest of the backup coming from existing pumped hydro and an existing Natural Gas plant. one of the…
it's much much more expensive, people like to repeat the line that solar is the cheapest form of energy while hand-waving away batteries and grid upgrades required. I did the napkin math a while back but a battery bank…
For me in Game dev, codex has a habit of checking every argument for null and then silently early exiting the methods when true. I have explicit instructions for it not to do this - but it still does. I haven't done any…
the lack of effort has been the main thing for me since this all started. you give people a tool to do something easier and instead of doing more WITH the tool they do this instead. is anyone out there using AI to make…
there's probably ~$150 in the ram and ~$100 in the SSD alone, not to mention everything else. we gotta have data-centers though because, uh.. well, we gotta have em.
I dont understand if AI is so good at code why are people buying software? couldn't musk just generate his own IDE with the spacex brand behind it?
I dunno if it even is because isn't that spelt trawling? just looked it up and they're both correct fishing terms sigh
there's an Ice cream shop in my city that has obviously generated all their signage and menus and everything else, even on their website the photos section has AI generated people smiling and happy next to the sign. I…
this time we're automating humans that can do anything that humans can do. you should be asking what happened to the horses which were replaced by the tractors. the answer is elsewhere in the thread, their pop dropped…
> I foresee a wave of entrepreneurship coming. why would anyone pay anyone else for anything when they could just get an AI to do it? any service would now be worthless, there will be people with hardware and people…
I went through a big back and forth with a small startup where I initially negotiated in at 3 days a week. Eventually they said "we really need you the full 5 days" and I explained that I'm gonna do the same amount of…
For coding the worst I've seen recently is gemini using or suggesting library methods that dont exist in c# which it catches when it builds the project (something I've told it to do to catch these.) but for research it…
I've had seniors tell me my entire career that writing code was the easiest part of their jobs.
I feel the same way, the AI browsers and the Agentic team of agents stuff I just really dont understand why I would want it. I use AI every day but theres always a clear separation, as in I'm using it to get an output I…
yes but if a dev pushes a line of code that wipes the accounts of millions of users at a fintech, the dev will get fired but the CEO will get sued into oblivion. if the agent isn't responsible, you HAVE to be, cause…
yeah for me even with other people, the amount of times you think "it would be easier for me to just show you" is maybe 30% of interactions with agents currently. perplexity keeps trying to get me to use "computer" and…
A thing to remember is that bisphenols are everywhere, products/coatings/dyes/chemical processing, it's everywhere in the production and logistics of everything. I understand this concern with headphones specifically…
>Has everyone started using agents and paying $200 subscriptions? If anything in my small circle the promise is waning a bit, in that even the best models on the planet are still kinda shitty for big project work. I…
I have extensions for the sites that need them and everything else is fine? occasionally I guess there'll be something in another language I want translated but I just copy paste the text into google translate or…
I'd pay $10 a month for a browser, I pay that much for music and TV shows and I spend more time in a browser. I'm sure the market doesn't agree with me but I pay more for things that are less useful.
man not a single one of those examples sounds like something I'd need, or even need an AI agent to do. I keep seeing the ads for AI browsers and the only thing I can think about is the complete and utter lack of a use…

I saw similar discussions around robotics, people saying "why are they making the robots humanoid? couldn't they be a more efficient shape" and it comes back to the same thing where if you want the tool to be adopted…
Sometimes it's not even close, I went to download the PAX Australia app and the top result was Revolut. I'd love to know the set of circumstances that the algorithm picked them to sponsor there.
I tried to use perplexity to find ideal settings for my monitor, it responded with concise list of distinct settings and why. When I investigated the source it was just people guessing and arguing with each other in the…
