Yep, and it is based on StarOffice that was also developed in Germany before it was acquired by Sun.

An AI data center can replace a legion of human workers. So the heat emissions can be offset if those humans cease to exist.

A human operates at anywhere from 75-150W of energy. At 150W, a MW of energy is 6666 people. A rack in a datacenter right now consumes around 5-15kW, so a megawatt is around 100 racks.

AI datacenters are attempting to scale that up to 100kW per rack.

And none of that includes cooling and ancillary - this is just pure compute power consumption.

You only think that's not political because you're confusing centrists with leftists.

No, it's because of all the idiotic enablers. We could just solve the problem by walking into the halls of power en masse and removing them but you can only get that kind of energy from total fucking clowns who want anarchy, and not the good kind that doesn't exist (as it leads naturally to feudalism) but the bad kind with only chaos.

Web apps make at least some sense when you are delivering the exact same app via the web and as a local application. But Microsoft isn't doing that, so they make none...

I've programmed Win32 for decades and while it was fine for the time, much of the user facing APIs are obsolete for modern GUI development and some of the non-user facing stuff too. But Microsoft really hasn't produced a credible replacement for it and has shat out a succession of technologies one after the other that devs are supposed to use before Microsoft abandons them for the next - Win32 (and layers on top like MFC), WinForms, WPF (and Silverlight), UWP, Windows App SDK / WinUI.

Some of these technologies are overlapping, but each was intended to coral devs into making Metro apps or Windows Store apps and burn their bridges in the process. It went down like a lead balloon. Now they're dialing back trying to make WinUI somewhat platform agnostic to the version of Windows its running on but who knows if it will stick. It's not the only pain point because Microsoft even extended the C++ language to deal with these APIs with new types like "ref", "partial" and hat notation to deal with garbage collected objects, auto generated classes and other things that also impedes portability.

So it's no wonder that app developers have gone for web apps (and QT) because it's makes it easier to write portable apps and acts as insulation from Microsoft's mercurial view of the world.

That really depends on the type of work one has to do. For me, for example, AI is quite helpful (if frustrating at times) because I have to be a jack of all trades and know a shitload of different systems, but that also makes me a master of none. So I am not able to keep all the details about all the different systems in my head, but I still know enough to either do the job reasonably well but slow without the AI, or do my work quickly with the help of an AI and still know when it screws up.

Thanks for making my point for me there bro

I'm going to go ahead and assume bad faith on your part, because otherwise you're very stupid. But nobody in your potential audience is stupid enough to believe there aren't lasting effects to being bombed to shit.

I take your point about this being before the dawn of ubiquitous tech companies, but what kind of chilling effect did the Bell monopoly have?

Do you think about me when you're jerking off, too? I know you do.

I didn't miss the jr. high "figure out what g is" stuff in the beginning of the book. I was kinda bummed at how much the selective breeding was glossed over as they had to cram a line into the movie to explain the disaster at the end. But a the same time the movie is two and a half hours long. While there are a handful of other cuts I think they could have gotten away with (the extended Karaoke scene maybe), there wasn't a ton of fat to trim to keep the runtime reasonable.

I don't think Xenonite is made of Xenon exclusively, but it is strange enough that handheld spectrometers can't deal with it. Maybe it offgasses xenon when bombarded by charged particles? One thing the movie glossed over is how Rocky's species is in many ways much less technologically advanced than Humans. Their materials science is outstanding due to the hellish nature of their home world, but they don't have electronics. Their math and science are back in the early 20th century. They went interstellar before discovering relativity. Mostly due to the fact that the astrophage is basically magic. In the book one background character mentions offhand that the astrophage is a miracle that will solve countless problems and everybody just glares at him angrily because even though he is right it's also killing them. On the other hand, while reading the book I had thoughts of an interstellar ferry service that collects astrophage and brings it back to Earth where it is tricked into releasing its energy into the atmosphere to warm the planet and light up cropland. Spin drives open up the entire solar system to exploitation and the astrophage is the perfect energy storage medium.

It would take an AI to not get bored trying to construct working configs for SElinux
