Couldn't have said it better myself. Productivity measured how? None of these statistics and 10-30% is pretty bad if it's just productivity in "generating code" - slamming out code is usually the wrong choice. A good senior developer makes strategic decisions that improve the maintainability of code and fix problems that nobody's even reported yet, AI won't do that.

This is the most useless idea I've ever heard and I work in tech so that's saying something.

This feels like a bait article honestly. And here I am falling for the bait.

Launch costs oh yeah lets just handwave away the climate impact of that. Never mind how expensive it is to launch things either, the cost of hardware and installation doesn't matter if the CO2 goes down (except that it does because that money could be used to save CO2 emissions somewhere else, obviously).

The obvious latency issues. The wildly unreasonable cost of what it takes to fix anything that fails in orbit. I could go on but my main point here is why is this even featured here? It's obviously a garbage idea with no future.

Might be a good idea except that it only filters air on the way in. So this is a tool for selfish folks only. Dyson shouldn't have brought this to market.

I cannot like the new interface either. I can barely like classic mode since it seems to have removed a lot of shit. The new config system is awful and doesn't expose as many options. Sigh. Has anyone forked it wholesale yet?

Ah, the fresh smell of decay and newly frost-pulverized plant cells.

I was exposed. I did not get it.

You're my last hope, Old Ben Kanobe.

I don't call a probe that is consitently leaving the primary gravity source a 'satellite'.

If you are over what, about 35, you remember that land line phones were heavy items you leased from the phone company. If you wanted an additional one, you called, and waited for them to bring it... People under 30 tend to be shocked by that whole concept, now you can buy a phone for a few dollars at Wal Mart or buy a complex expensive one, regardless of who you get your land line phone service from. I imagine in the coming decades, young people will be shocked that we used to be stuck getting our cell phone from the cell phone company, and didnt just buy the one we want at Wal Mart of Best Buy and get service from the company we chose...
And for more proof that things dont change- people used to have "illegal" or "Hot" phones that they got from God knows where and hooked up themselves... Just like some people crack the software in their phones and use them outside of the cell company that sold the phone...
