> Every PS5 in existence is destined to become e-waste

Just like every Android device or computer in your household? Are you trying to make a point for cloud computing?

I feel this so much. What was all that fuss about needing 3 levels of approval for any software license? Or having to provide a compare chart against open-source alternatives?

The money would be so much better spent that way as well, supporting individual programmers.

I think the "others" should open their eyes to the world around them, then.

Happy to say that my browser didn't tell anything that I didn't expect it to. It even identified my IP from a location 1000km away from me.

How else do you guarantee that things will keep going the best way possible in the future? The magical hand of the market?

> someone can be very confident and wrong at the same time

And sometimes that someone can be you, and AI is notoriously bad at telling you that you're wrong (because it has to please people)

Probably people complaining about AI today were fine with Stack Overflow before and didn't have anything to complain about back then.

I also had a better experience with Stack Overflow over AI. It's been unable to tell me that I couldn't assign a new value to my std::optional in my specific case, and kept hallucinating copy constructor rules. A Stack Overflow question matching my problem cleared that up for me.

Sometimes you need someone to tell you no.

> Do you have some information or argument that will help me see things differently?

I already told you 2 things, coastal areas and agriculture.

This is Bangladesh elevation map. Bangladesh is amonng the most dense countries in the world, and also among the poorest.

> There's certainly a lot to be said for humans needing to take better care of the planet. Co2 just gets a little too much attention for my taste.

GHG are a matter of life or death for hundreds of millions living in poverty in coastal areas or living from their own agriculture.

Of course you live in a 1st world country and it likely won't kill you, just cost you tons of money

It's not about "take better care of the planet", whatever you think that means

Yep. It's not just oil rigs in the desert. Chevron in Ecuador destroyed the Amazonian rainforest. Oil pipelines and open pit mines destroying Canadian primordial forests. Probably tons of untold stories.

Considering at least half of all squares are empty, further compression is in order for the empty space.

Also if you're encoding the king as a position instead of a byte sequence you would have to encode their space as empty, that's an extra 2 bits

It's also 700kg of CO2, one of the best ways to worsen climate change per dollar spent

Trains are just the most efficient way of moving people between cities. They benefit everyone, even people with cars.

You have a business trip and need to go from A to B by yourself? Take a train, it frees your brain and the highway for people traveling in groups or with lots of luggage.

Incidentally it also avoids moving 2 tonnes of material for no reason.

I am quite confident that the bandwidth cost is absolutely not a concern for Microsoft, and that the obvious goal is for them to capture the market.

The "C/C++" extension github repository is 4MB. Probably the download size for the extension itself is a fraction of that, but I won't bother measuring. It was downloaded 400 times over the last minute (there is a live counter on the extension page [0]).

That's a 25MB/s or 200Mb/s bandwidth, for one of the most popular extensions. Multiply by the top 10 extensions and you get the bandwidth of an average home optic fiber connection...

Disregard the obvious environmental risks of spraying silver iodide in the air, cloud seeding will artificially redirect rainfall in specific areas, which may deprive downstream regions of water, harming biodiversity. Note that cloud seeding is currently used for drought management, not global warming mitigation.

> Tesla now focusing more on developing self-driving vehicles than on pushing for huge growth in EV sales volume, which many investors had been counting on.

Yep, don't count on Tesla for replacing fossil fuel cars. They had a good headstart but hopefully other manufacturers will now take its place to fill growing demand

And remember that the Cybertruck is steer by wire. The software controls the entire car, and it also happens that the software just randomly crashes.
