And yet, the majority of the files (you know, the pictures and videos I take) are inaccessible as a file on the phone. Amazing!
That's silly. Far less energy intensive than making new glass.
The lie they don't tell you is that all plastics are biodegradable. Not only do they break down in sunlight fairly rapidly, plastics are also readily consumed by numerous organisms - albeit slowly.
Alternatively, we should be using waste plastic as a readily available source of fuel to be burned in coal plants, or other power generator facilities.
I used to buy a new android phone every 12-18 months, for the better part of a decade - it'd last that long before it broke, or got slow. They weren't necessarily high end models, but they did cost anywhere from $300-500 each generally - HTC, OnePlus, Samsung, etc.
Then I bought an iPhone (Xs) and it's lasted me for about 6 years now. It's a horrible, crippled device (in terms of software capabilities is concerned), but it works consistently and hasn't gotten worse. It's more robust than the Androids were.
I wish I had some basic "computing" capabilities (a file manager and a filesystem would be nice!), but not enough that I care enough to get another android. If I need to work with files, I'll just not use my phone - a minor inconvenience to not have to think too hard about flashing firmware to get the functionality I want.
I never expected to see this comparison.
The failures of other phone manufacturers could more readily be leveled against Motorola than Apple, honestly. The hardware available for quite some time was quite lackluster, and Apple made up for it by simply not trying to do as much with the hardware (eg. iOS didn't even have copy/paste for years, nevermind a file manager, which still doesn't exist in a meaningful sense).
Now, I personally think Android devices have failed largely due to the crapware and poor support that gets piled on, on top of the atrocious storage performance (which impacts the device performance from top to bottom). Add to the lack of support from device manufacturers with poor quality hardware and short device lifecycle (1-2 years in many cases before they simply failed) and you've got your answer.
Microsoft failed long before they exited the market, they were a non-starter starting around 2011 when Android became significantly more than the Blackberry was, and Microsoft decided to just throw out what good things they had with CE 6.5 and make things worse. But let's talk about the Microsoft tax for every Android device sold - eating a significant amount of the profit margins ($5-15 per device) - surely that was a factor in the failure of those other Android manufacturers, not Apple?
Amazon? Amazon tried making phones? Was their phone similarly shitty to what all their other devices are - underpowered, slow, crippled Android devices, purpose built almost exclusively to funnel customers to their "value added" Prime-packaged services like Photos, etc.? If so, that failure was entirely self-inflicted.
Touche...
Proxmox does support live migration. You've just got to be using shared storage to do so - which, coincidentally, is built into the product as a clustered filesystem (cephfs). It works seamlessly.
I'm actually more bothered by the resource waste of using containers instead of just installing a couple of software packages than people using a VM where a container could do the job...
That doesn't make any sense.
Containers:
* limited resource use
* dependency, package and security isolation
VMs:
* additional memory and CPU overhead
* no benefit over containers
"just installing apps"
* migratory dependency hell (I'm guessing you've never had to do with this)
* more difficult to audit and track
Yep.
Regulatory capture runs the world. That's all this 'greenwashing' is - a deflection of the capture.
There is no possible way they've been able to isolate the impact of temperature change from other causes of inflation. If their models had that level of capability, they'd not be shilling for climate alarmism, they'd be retired and wealthy off their stock investments started from $15.
Fantastic - now let's start addressing the underlying issue.
We, as a culture, need to stop promoting and hiring based on things other than merit. Even cronyism is preferable in that system.
Alternatively, institutionalizing ritual suicide for these kinds of failures would suffice.
Also known as scope creep.
.... but Teddy Roosevelt was never conservative, not in the least bit? The man was extremely progressive, and did all sorts of social programs that led to horrible results - xenogenocide, collapse of economies, loss of property, and the near extinction of species. I can only assume you have no knowledge whatsoever of who he was - he was a progressive democrat who thought the democrats weren't progressive enough.
Rockefeller... likewise wasn't a conservative, and did not have conservative values by anyone's definition. Where are you getting these things?
Anthropic is working to fix this, with their "constitutional AI". It's similar to the 3 laws of robotics.
You won't be able to get to AGI in the human sense - gaining meaning - until after we give AI a persona, a personality: something with a sense of being, whether real or programmed. That's a dangerous road to take, though, because it's the basis for all manner of issues. The 'persona' will undoubtedly be in some way human, which hasn't worked out so well for humans over time.
So we're defining AGI as a fiscal conservative middle aged man now?
