No idea about the US, but not in Europe. It was a major problem with the last blackout in Spain and Portugal.

I’ve been doing that in my EV for the last 5 years. You won’t get an EV because you are looking for excuses not to, not because they don’t fit your use case.

Very much similar to my own experience. The blackout is the funniest, because gas stations don’t work in a blackout, while solar panels do (assuming you disconnect them from the grid).

I would add one:

• But I couldn’t drive 1.000km without stopping (how often do you do that? It doesn’t seem safe anyway…)

Same. Well, was. Still at heart.

Then use apt or yum or pacman!

You can’t tell me what to do!

You play chess?

Well, for when you’re 300 pages short and you add an appendix…

And businessmen, and entertainment stars, and many others. It’s not going to get an Oscar because of that.

(At least) Half of the contributions to the projects you have there are for-profit. To sell hardware, to sell support licenses, to sell ads, etc.

Since when “raping kids” is politics?

Self-solving problem, potentially…

Yes, they are going to fly away in a penis shaped rocket with all the water on board.

Gemini in particular helped me greatly debugging a Thread (IPv6) issue with RA and SLAAC, giving exact commands and diagnostic requests.

For meetings work really well, I can concentrate on the content and not on taking notes. Of course if there is something really critical I will note it down on a paper. Then I need to spend just 5 mins reviewing the AI notes to make sure nothing is hallucinated, generating a summary and sending it over. What used to take me maybe 30 minutes now takes 5. With 4 to 6 meetings a day it add up fast.

It also helps my writing in foreign languages sound more natural, suggesting changes and expressions that I know exist but they don’t come naturally for me.

Anything “supervised”, to prevent hallucinations from doing too much damage. I save 2h per working day, easy.

Boilerplate code, translation, text grammar correction, taking and summarizing meeting notes, debugging of network issues, interview role play…

That’s almost unequivocal proof that a human did it. AI will restate each point and provide an answer, no matter how correct or useful. A human will get distracted, or omit or ignore points that they think are obvious or too difficult.

GenX and Millenials are the only two generations who are technically literate to know that. Your average GenZ or Alpha or whatever never learned to use a computer so it’s less scary to do it on a phone.

The meta verse has 500 users, total, worldwide. Out of 8 billion people. It’s not exactly a popular new tech.

AI on the other hand, fits the description much better. It is very useful, and people who reject it out of spite are missing out. Sure, it’s being shoved down our throats in literally every product, whether it makes sense or not, I get the sentiment. But rejecting it completely makes you miss it’s useful applications.

Because of content. I still can’t find woodworking, amarthome, soccer or F1 content or lemmy, just to name a few. I lurk in incognito mode on reddit for that, so the ads don’t have any data about me.
