How do you intake caffeine and how much?

2 mugs of 10 oz dark coffee, black, extra strong. I’m currently moderating, trying to stick to that.

I’ve found that k-cups have a similar advantage to soda cans when you want to moderate. You can’t fill up a super-mug and there is no pot/2L bottle to finish. Portion control is crucial

I’m not sure sail is even viable, as in not compatible with modern capitalism. Most shipping has some sort of schedule or deadline, and you can’t just take an extra month “ because we were becalmed”

Although I was also going to object based on more complex harbors, but that leads right to battery power. Right where all the shipping, all the emissions, all the pollution comes together where it can harm people ……. Why not battery-only, while in harbor?

That all sounds like a nightmare. I use curl api calls from DevOps where I’m not really doing much and time isn’t usually a concern. But I can’t imagine our product developers using it, it just doesn’t seem scalable, maintainable or performant

Buying a new car has become unaffordable for a growing number of Americans. The auto industry is worried

Jump

AA5B @lemmy.world 1d ago

It’s the size creep if anything

I don’t know. My brother works for a legacy manufacturer and claims the difference in material cost between small and large vehicles is minimal. Assembly cost is far more than material cost. He used this to justify why they couldn’t make a small truck: it’s equally complex to assemble and the materials cost difference is minimal so they couldn’t make it enough cheaper that anyone would buy it.

Up to you whether to buy the company line but that’s the claim

The problem is this is the way it’s being pushed. This is how it’s being sold. There are no guardrails.

….. and that’s the biggest problem. I’m frustrated as hell on the commits I’ve had to unwind because someone doesn’t know how to check the changes before committing, then has it try to fix itself, again without checking on the changes , then again. It’s horrible.

….. and I’ve seen it too. Trying to have it do only code reviews - the ai points out useful things but then wants to commit a crapload of changes without going over it with me first.

…… and people are playing with mcp agents, which are really great for letting the ai get data from systems and integrate with those systems . But with few to no guardrails. There’s no no review, the user doesn’t necessarily follow what’s changing, it just gets done. Sometime badly very badly

We’re all focused on whether the ai works, and it does do a pretty good job with coding but the tools don’t keep the human in the loop, or humans don’t know how to stay on the loop

There are still those who believe in law, still those who uphold justice, still those advocate for human rights. We need all the heroes we can get to turn the tide, and this is the groundwork for an eventual return to normalcy.

The current president holds himself and his sycophants above the law, current Congress enables a constitutional crisis, some Supreme Court justices are corrupt or ignorant, it seems like a lot, but this too shall pass. Some of them will escape justice by age or wealth, but the pendulum will swing back and at least a few will face the law

Fred Roger’s said “always look for the helpers”, but it’s also true in reverse. The current dystopia could not be happening without the help of the mean, spiteful, vile people helping to vote for it and implement it. They don’t have the wealth to stay above the law and their “free ride” ends in three years. They can and should be brought to justice. They need to be made examples ofdo the next time fascists arise, the helpers think twice

Why the Doomsday Clock has outlived its usefulness

Jump

AA5B @lemmy.world 3d ago

I agree here. During the Cold War, the doomsday clock was literally doomsday. It measured how close we appeared to be for society-ending, humanity destroying all out war between two nuclear powers, each with several times the nuclear weapons needed to end us all.

Now we’re in constant war, threat of constant war, endless instability, and yes, the American government is one of the biggest factors in recent reductions to global stability. We’re actively making things worst, from at least trying to do the right thing. It’s surely a catastrophe to the people affected, we’re talking hundreds of thousands to millions of unnecessary deaths, we can’t minimize that …. But it’s not an end of humanity level threat.

I don’t know what would be more effective imagery, but we’re closer while at the same time farther from catastrophe, so maybe it’s time to move on

This was likely the case before ai as well. Collect the data, aggregate the data, we’ll find uses for it later.

I actually had this conversation with a startup company in the 2000’s. Their user profile forms were a mess so they were looking for help to fix the, and secure the data. But the root cause is they were collecting a ton of unnecessary data with no validation, verifiability, or constraints

Me: why are you collecting all this data?

Them: we might need it later

Me: so you don’t have a use now and you’re not making any effort to make the data clean enough to be useful. The best fix is to just stop collecting most of this

Them: no

So an illegal “warrant” trying to scare her into surrender, putting her on list for an illegal warrantless arrest and depriving constitutional rights, because she reported on things uncomfortable for the current administration

I have to say that I hope this is entirely true, because it seems like a slam dunk case for her, egregious enough to hopefully force change
