When you forgot to make women part of the design team

Today I learned that there are only three English cities with an electrical consumption greater than 200 megawatts: London, Manchester and Birmingham. By comparison, the people who want to build AI data centres here, which nobody asked for, want a supply of up to 1 gigawatt (1,000 megawatts) for each one. That’s how skewed this whole nonsense is.

“Impossible to predict this”, says the CxO class that keeps ignoring all predictions of this exact outcome

> As one New York financier told Financial Times journalist Gillian Tett, new hires who were seen as “AI natives” are turning out to have alarmingly shallow ideas. So much so, the anonymous finance worker admitted, that his firm now actively avoids seeking out AI-literate STEM graduates, and opts to comb through humanities students instead.

Its been said to death, but the thing that LLMs do that's useful for programming is basically serve as an extremely lossy compressed index to all the code in the training set while making it look like a miracle that you are creating. If we instead had an actual search index where I can search for related code in an abstract AST space, see prior implementations in their context with proper attribution, compare where mine and their differ, that would be about a billion times more useful than an LLM for code. Something like the Wikimedia algorithm library would be a better tool than an LLM if it had the same amount of money poured into it, but it wouldn't get that money because it doesn't launder authorship or make you feel like a special genius.

A $3 @mta.info@bsky.brid.gy subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show!

Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.

I mean let's sum up right? The neoliberal "centrist" coalition in the Democratic Party has lost not one, but two elections to a reality TV show, billionaire, child rapist nazi whose catch-phrase is "you're fired." That happened. They have no future, they have no ideas, and they have no answers. What they do have however is a BURNING desire to stop "socialism" (moderate soc dem policies) from... OTHER Democrats.

Folks, these people are not your friends.

🗑️ SpaceX Is Junk. That’s What the Bond Market Says

｢ The market's assessment of SpaceX's credit quality differs from the rating companies' stamp of quality, with a BBB rating, and may be a more reliable indicator of the company's success ｣
