    Looking at it from another angle: how many tons of CO₂ added to the atmosphere or liters of fresh water supplies disrupted is a tolerable price for a better code review? Temperatures during heat waves are exceeding 50°C in India, causing tens thousands of deaths.

    Literally a negligible amount of emissions and seems to be the core of their argument. It doesnt make a dent in any of those stats nor does it have any impact on the temp in India. Reminds me of the people who screech over private jets as if banning them will do anything to slow down climate change. Even his own link “The AI built-out is by far the fastest growing energy consumer in the world” undermines his point showing that computing has been the fastest growing industry for years by % increase (its a tiny % of the total) not by actual power increase. The projected 1.5% to 3% of global energy use seems reasonable given how massive computing is in our day to day lives. We are lucky we have something so efficient that is so useful we spend far more energy on far worse things than computers.






  • While the games are playing out there is happiness and excitement and celebration and sure when your team loses it can be sad but its just a game and there are worse things to be sad about. Its nice to feel sad about a game and not im sad because the world is falling apart.

    For most people the world cup is not that serious and even for the ultras its more excitement than unhappiness. Think about the world cup as the total journey and not just the end result.

    There is this weird thing in corporate where there is an aversion to teaching certain types of roles. In IT its always expected you learn and you’ll be given stuff and told to figure it out even when its completely outside you role and not tech related. But god forbid any other department has to spend 5mins learning how to use their own tool. So many times some fuckwit comes and says “we need this software that gives us a notification for x event its only 10,000 a year” but you already have that feature in your current software just go set it up. “I dont know how to set it up”

    ok so learn? Go read the documentation bro I dont know what else to tell you figure it out the software is designed for people like you to do this exact thing. its your software you got it for this purpose you can’t just get new software because it wasnt preconfigured exactly how you need.

    Does my head in. But ive been mentally defeated now i just laugh and say sure send me your business case and I’ll put in the request. Then I get a dogshit AI generated corpspeak slop request. Its always like this will boost productivity and efficiency. Yeah sure it will mate.

    Oh god there was one for making AI generated training videos and I’m just thinking but you already send out shitty AI generated training videos why do you need this specific expensive software to do it. This meme ruined my day.
