Was Devo right, we're devolving?

Has anyone compared non-AI hallucinations to AI's? For example why is my car MPG calculator hallucinatory compared to a manual calculation based on dividing indicated mileage (which is also hallucinatory compared to mileage markers on freeways) by gallons pumped (and how accurate is that?)? Are hallucinations in the real world much more prevalent than your mood allows you to see?

Are your wind turbines frequently curtailed, as are Wa state's?

"Limiting Balancing Reserve Deployed or Regulating Reserves Deployed"

And if you look at a generation graph, can you see that hydro alone in Wa state can easily satisfy all load, so wind, nuclear, solar and biomass are really superfluous vanity projects for political reasons?

Actually, that would be a lie by misdirection, because the actual competition are renewables and storage and there nuclear does not look too good. Not that the nuclear fanatics are above lying ...

So did bin Laden have the right idea?

On logging roads in Washington can I pretty much guarantee you'll find a discarded culvert somewhere?

Did I claim I've seen scrapped wind turbines or culverts? Could you go out to public forests and notice discarded culverts? Why don't they haul them back on the same equipment used to bring out the replacements?

These people operate on the same level as clueless major software makers like Cloudstrike, Microsoft, etc. Hence while this could be done a lot better and competently, these people just do not have the skills.

Some still do that. And some send ransomware threats when there is no attack. Apparently the both approaches continue to work to some degree.

Otherwise they would be able to make more money (as soon as you take risk-costs into account) in a regular job.

I agree on that. But I do not think the tool choice plays a role in whether people take something seriously or not. Some people do understand risk and risk management, but most simply do not and nothing will change that. The benefit of Rust is that it is likely quite a bit harder to learn that C and that selects the people for those that actually want to do this right and are willing to invest significant effort and bring significant talent to the table. And that may make a significant difference. In any case, I do not think it will make things worse. But we will find out.

Am i wrong to have singled out wind turbines because they've proliferated in places I go, they're so big and there are so many of them, and they were mentioned in the post I originally replied to? Why does my post make you think I don't like all the other pollution either?

Good question. Probably not. Lets hope the crashing starts in 2026, or the damage will be even more massive.

The only one here talking about "rampart" is you. Shows that you are arguing in bad faith,

Since being outside in public areas away from people is practically the only time I don't feel like killing myself, is it cringe that I try to get a minimum of 2.4 hours (10% of a day) outside? And what if I see discarded culverts almost every trip to a place with streams?
