Using Warp terminal, it actually nice for a non-admin to ask questions to Claude and get some really helpful work.

I do not know every in and out of Linux server config, my day job doesn't depend on that I do. So I can connect up, ask Claude, "is this service running?" or " My plex server isn't responding, can we run some diagnostics?"

Is it perfect? No, is it better than me? Oh god yes. Is my system a mission critical server? Not in the slightest.

But its fun, I actually can get a working docker server, a secure ssh client, mailcow, plex, jellyfin, factorio....hell what else can I load. If I run into issues I ask Claude, and it can step me thru the correction, or just do it.

It has no idea what I want to do, it has no idea my end goal, but I say conquer that hill, its been doing it's best to do it. The campaign it doesn't know or care. Perfect little helper.

I don't have a subscription to Warp's services yet. They give a limited amount of tokens to Claude monthly, which seems fine to me. Only had 1 month run out. Which for non-production systems...is fine. I can wait. I'm am considering subscribing, it's just been dang helpful.

Coding? Haven't done it seriously yet, I typically code on an ERP system, that is just starting with AL/MLL stuff. Haven't gotten to far. But with server support, it's making me have fun, "hows this work? can we check this?" and there's no judgement on my actions as to why? For personal stuff, this is great.

For production environments, I'd worry. I don't use it at work. I asked the software team to check it out to see if we could, so it's on the list. But I'd want to be sure of security. some nooby could ask some server destroying question and try to implement, sure sudo should stop most, but there always seems to be one file or config that slips past, so I'de be a bit concerned till it proved itself there.

For the love of all that matters, don't make the mistake the US did, fix it now before it's too late.

Just not going to support the fascist overthrow of the U.S. government.

I'm beginning to suspect the election might have been hacked.

Ah, so it's only "too late" for you if we go extinct.

While I meant, it's too late to fix the climate problem. Even if we do everything in our power, it's going to be hundreds of years before things stop getting worse.

Lol. Well done-- hilarious. Shame you are at 0.

I've been through this since 1984. I recognize the walk and the talk.

If he could, he would replace every worker except himself with AI.

That's basically true. But some people might make it even if most are screwed based on the choices they make. And that number who survives could be higher based on the choices society makes.

Global population will begin to decline in 2080.

However, the population of people 40 and under *has already peaked* and is declining. That means *not enough people working* to pay for benefit programs for people over 60 starts *today* .

So you are not having kids-- big whoop. Basically you are saying, "after me the deluge"

Population growth is occurring because of improved medical care and longer lifespans. But having 5 billion seniors, 2 billion adults, and 1 billion kids isn't going to be healthy.

I'm going to move on now. I can tell you are a flat-earther type. Further discussion with you is pointless.

This was a typo: "I think these are tilted apostrophe's instead of hyphens."
It should have said, "I think these are tilted (leading and trailing) apostrophes instead of vertical apostrophes."

I think my editor *automatically* makes this adjustment because it's a word processor.

That's a positive spin on this for sure. What would we need high-level extraction, if no one was looking at the code. Even then, you probably could have the AI take the Assembly or Machine Code, and spt out the C++ or Rust Equivalent code, readable even.

Me personally, I want to write code, but it would be nice to have AI that helped with optimizing the code I produce. I know why I need it, future cases, it has no idea, but it would be able to tell me if my use of some data type would better if used another way or another data type would fit better.

I like it as a helper, not the primary. do the monkey work, the boiler plate. Answer some off the wall questions.

Maybe it can be a better compiler that the compilers we have now? doubt it currently, but who knows...

Sorry for the ramble, thank for coming to my Ted Talk, (as my 12 year old says)

Until you accept the reality that it's too late to fix/solve the problem, you are not dealing with reality. Once you are dealing with reality, you can start making rational decisions about what actions you can take to improve your personal situation and to keep from making things even worse than they already are.

It will cause your children discomfort if they are under 50.

Higher insurance costs.
Higher food prices.
Possible loss of some food selection (really... that's already happened since I was a child but it's more driven by corporate excessive profit seeking where they will give 12 feet of shelf space to their most profitable product and simply shut out profitable but less profitable products that used to share about 6 feet of shelf space out of that 12).
Increased likelihood of suffering a tropical disease or parasite (nasty one up from central america got a 65 year old friend of mine 4 years ago from a mosquito bite).

But our kids face other challenges, like reduced job opportunities due to AI, the declining marriage rate, the declining population rate (which is probably bad for you and me but good for them).

No I'm on a PC but was using an opensource editor that unicode support. I think these are tilted apostrophe's instead of hyphens.

Yea.. really it is. It's been too late for quite a while now.

I'm not saying don't do your best to address it. But we were supposed to be down to adding 29 gigatons of carbon annually by now and instead we are up to adding 45 gigatons of carbon annually next year.

And since every 1,000 gigatons roughly equates to +1C, we are now putting enough carbon out to raise the temperature every 22 years.

And those projections are ignoring the *massive* methane sublimation that's already been underway a few years.

So, every projection you've read about the future is tremendously over optimistic.

And let's not get into the way the rain bands have already drifted towards the poles about 50 to 80 miles and it's implication for our current breadbowls.

Nor the way tropical diseases and parasites have been drifting pole wards.

Even cutting carbon output will "temporarily" (i.e. for several decades) increase temperatures further.

FYI:
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report and other scientific sources, here are general estimates of likely average sea level rise per decade from 2020 to 2100:

Sea Level Rise Projections (2020-2100)
2020-2030: Approximately 3-4 mm/year, resulting in a total rise of about 30-40 mm (3-4 cm)
2030-2040: Approximately 3-5 mm/year, leading to about 30-50 mm (3-5 cm) over the decade
2040-2050: Approximately 4-7 mm/year, accumulating around 40-70 mm (4-7 cm)
2050-2060: Approximately 5-10 mm/year, leading to about 50-100 mm (5-10 cm)
2060-2070: Approximately 6-12 mm/year, resulting in about 60-120 mm (6-12 cm)
2070-2080: Approximately 7-15 mm/year, totaling about 70-150 mm (7-15 cm)

And NASA's actual measurements of a "Global average sea level rose by about 0.3 inches (0.76 centimeters) from 2022 to 2023" back up the IPCC projections for the current time frame (a rate of about 3.81cm vs a projection of 3-4cm).

When the north saharan wind and sand and various other confounding and boosting factors line up, there will be more category 5 hurricanes ( and more than spin up from tropical storm to cat 5 faster than they did historically-- so no warning).

And the insurance company's know this. They have doubled, tripled, and *even refused to write policies at any rate* for not just "beach front property" but *any* property within 100 miles of the coast (and near many internal continental river basins as well due to increased flood and extreme flood risk).

This makes me recall the fact that most religious dog breeders believe in genetics and evolution. Because they have to deal with the reality of genetic on a daily basis in their business.
