Do you go outside and use the maps? And navigate in the field with a compass? I am sorry but yes, obviously using a computer program is going to be somewhat similar to playing a video game.
Making maps and using maps are not the same skills.
Do you? ArcGIS and navigating in the field are not the same thing. I assume you don’t, or else you wouldn’t have brought up a tangentially related skill?
You’re just saying my mind is made up because you don’t have anything to contribute to the discussion lol
Despite its name, the infrastructure used by the “cloud” accounts for more global greenhouse emissions than commercial flights. In 2018, for instance, the 5bn YouTube hits for the viral song Despacito used the same amount of energy it would take to heat 40,000 US homes annually....
They’re taking about emissions, not energy use. You have a reading comprehension issue. The emissions are from the energy production. It’s logical to say that a, largely pointless, technology using high amounts of electricity cause emissions through the generation of electricity to power the pointless AI tech.
Scientists analyze data using statistics. I don’t see how and LLM helps with that. And it barely helps with programming, not to the extent that it is worth the impact.
Last time I met a French person was on the selection process for jury duty. The dude was rightfully shocked at the entire process. Americans do not have real political education.
No, wealthy liberal county in a blue state. It could have been that other prospective jurors were also displeased with the process but were less vocal about it, I know that was me. Trying to keep my head down so I get picked (serving on a jury while being aware of juror’s rights is one of the best direct actions you can take. use knowledge of juror nullification.)
if you don’t think the US is fascist that shows an extreme lack of empathy for prisoners, our torture victims, the numerous countries we have bombed, genocide victims, black people … do I need to go on
Apple’s long-rumoured foldable iPhone could finally become a reality if a recently awarded patent is any indication. This patent hints at a revolutionary self-healing screen.
I have one, it’s nice because it actually fits in my pocket and has a stable center of gravity. Every other phone I’ve had would regularly fall out of my pockets, and that’s how they would become broken or lost. I bought mine used last year, and it’s still in great condition.
You can completely block the social media apps from your phone then. Anything that encourages someone with a fully functional phone to go out and buy another one is a waste of resources.
I do like to disconnect, which is why I have the app blockers lol
if you’re worried about planned obsolescence… buy a fair phone? or a Samsung with a replaceable battery? (they sell those) … and put an app blocker on it? tons of people hold on to their phone for more than three years. iPhone 6s kinda have a cult following at this point. the problems of screen addiction and planned obsolescence do not require a shiny new dumbphone.
it costs less than $100 to replace the battery on your phone, that is way less than a new phone. it’s way less than a used phone. take care of it, clean out the storage … you’re good.
buy a new phone if you want, if you replace your working phone with this it’s pretty shitty though, and the people I have seen with these phones usually just like … have two phones. the market for only having a dumb phone is extremely small so any company that makes these is going to inevitably end up pushing extraneous devices on people in order to turn a profit. seems like this ticks people’s boxes for “buying a new gadget” as well as “being less online”, it’s a total gimmick. I don’t think you need a whole new phone to do something an app on your existing phone can do.

Interesting implications, perhaps the global positioning system is not as infallible as we thought
Do 9-5 jobs still exist in the U.S.?
Ever since I graduated, everywhere I’ve worked has been 8-5. My current company is going to soon start expecting us to be in 7-5....
