The problem with ethanol that both of you seem unaware of is how energy intensive it is to create ethanol. It takes about 5 gallons of fuel to produce 4 gallons of ethanol.
Let me repeat that: when producing ethanol, you have to spend more fuel than you produce
which are shipped around the country to be burned, injecting carbon into the atmosphere.
While I broadly agree with your comment, this line is a stretch. The carbon released is only from transportation and fertilizer production. The carbon inside the ethanol itself is actually pulled from the environment, so that part is actually carbon neutral.
The big problem with ethanol production is that it takes 5 gallons of fuel to produce 4 gallons of ethanol. It’s literally just pissing away time, money, and resources just to subsidize farmers.
But it is though
Salsa can also be described as a “nightshade salad”
I’m trying boss, but there’s stuff I need to manually get sorted out before the big switch and I don’t have a lot of time & energy to spare. I’m getting close though
policing only those in arm’s length
Dude, you’re on Lemmy. Do you not realize how many people on here are saying “fuck it, let’s drop Google and Microslop and stick with FLOSS”? How many people on here are trying to convince others to switch too?
These people are already doing what they can to steer the entire tech space in the right direction. But it’s hard to influence the giants directly. To do that, you need good FLOSS alternatives, which doesn’t work if those alternatives start riddling themselves with slop
It’s going to get better that it is today and we’re going to have to live with it.
Just shut up with this line.
Every piece of human-made code that’s available online has already been trawled hundreds of times, and anything new doesn’t get added often. There are no more examples for AI agents to use in training that weren’t used before. Their progress in generating code is plateauing.
AI generated code is still notorious at hallucinating API calls and making code that doesn’t work. And the code that does work tends to be overcomplicated and unoptimized. And this code isn’t easily maintainable because the “developers” weren’t involved in its production.
we’ll have to wait for Tim Sweeny to get his head out of his ass first.
You’ll be waiting a while.
First thing i thought of, but yeah, most devs today have never held a disk like that.
Bruh, what? Younger millennials (aka 30-40 yo) were born/raised in the 90’s. I find your claim hard to believe.
I’m in that group and I still dealt with floppies as a kid despite my family being poor at the time
Tbf, there’s saves there that efficiency increase means a lot
Technically true, but there’s a threshold on responsiveness. If both user interfaces respond in milliseconds, it doesn’t matter if one is more efficient
unoptimized code that does complex stuff.
You can still have complex code that is optimized for performance. You can spend more resources to do more complex computations and still be optimized so long as you’re not wasting processing power on pointless stuff.
For example, in some of my code I have to get a physics model within 0.001°. I don’t use that step size every loop, because that’d be stupid and wasteful. I start iterating with 1° until it overshoots the target, back off, reduce the step to 1/10, and loop through that logic until I get my result with the desired accuracy.
I love it
Maybe if Windows quit pigging out on tendies and slimmed down it would be as baf
I personally found season 2 to be extremely boring, evwn though season 1 was good
There was a lot of lazy copies with flash games too. And that’s not unique for indie games or even video games. Every form of media has people copying what’s already successful
I know Valve recommends using the appimage above flatpak, but even that requires little to no tinkering
I’m willing to bet a decent chunk of this is getting spurred on by Microsoft and Sony in the background to take down Valve before they can help get Linux in a position where it can overthrow both Windows and Playstation for gaming.
Epic’s probably playing a part too, since Time Swiney is a petty bitch
I also choose this guy’s skin suit
I give it about 3 weeks until they put a different DRM in it
Only if it’s 5e
