  • The circle of life

    Jump

  • I wonder at what point government will tax AI use by companies similarly to payroll taxes and incomes taxes.

    If they pay an AI company $150,000 a month to replace $50,000 in salaries, the government then loses all that income tax from the previous employees as well as the payroll tax on $600k a year.

  • The Ford 350 I recently rented was $297 to fill up 3/4 of a tank.

  • Damn..

    Jump

  • I drove a rental truck for work. It cost $297 to fill up before handing it back. It was still on 1/4 tank.

  • Vibe management

    Jump

  • At least with human labour companies have control. They withhold raises and bat down wages and the people tend to have to take it.

    With AI you get suckered in and all of a sudden have a subscription or something similar. Then next year the costs go up. You've already tailored your workflow to use AI, you can't just not pay the higher bill. Next year, costs go up again. What are you going to do? Not pay your bill and lose your entire workforce all at once? Now the company is being held hostage by the AI companies.

  • Our backyard turned into a swamp after septic system started failing, what are the warning signs most people miss?

    Jump

  • I don't know of a way to clean/maintain a drain field.

    From what I understand the tank captures the solids and the liquids rise to the top after everything settles and goes through a series of small tubes to drain into a field and be filtered through the soil.

    Then the tanks gets cleaned every 2-3 years to remove the built up solids.

    Usually the series of tubes in the deain field are all underground and inaccessible so I don't think there is a way to clean or maintain them.

    When we had our house inspected the plumber couldn't even locate the drain field. Just told us it switched in this part of the yard or that part of the yard.

  • Single player, open world, fantasy, RPG games

    Jump

  • Currently playing Windrose which is early access, ticks most of those boxes except for the alive world. There are communities you can go to for quests but most NPCs you can't interact with.

    It's also a survival craft so you build your base.

    It's a fantasy pirate setting rather than old knights and wizards setting.

    Character creation is somewhat limited but you can tailor it to be more ranged/agile or beefy/heavy hitter etc.

    Still early access though so could be improved

  • Dozens of empty Waymos invade neighborhood in Atlanta leaving neighbors baffled

  • That seems like a giant waste of battery/fuel.

  • People are addicted to it and see the aspartame water with no sugar and no calories and feel they can drink as much as they want guilt free.

  • Meta's $10 billion Louisiana data center is getting $3.3 billion in tax breaks—more than seven years of the state's entire police budget

    Jump

  • Why? Is it creating construction jobs? Doubt the entire salaries of everyone building it will total anywhere near that amount.

    Jobs after? What, like a dozen security guards and a couple IT people? Those things practically run themselves from what I understand.

    Just pay that money directly to the construction workers and scrap the data centre.

  • Very normal and safe

    Jump

  • True, I did forget that it might have been useful for me in one very specific instance where there was a comments section in one of our excel forms and I wanted to summarize the most common words mentioned in those comments. Couldn't figure out how at the time but this could potentially have figured it out. Not sure I would trust the accuracy of it's result though

  • ‘A’ Grades Are Suddenly Everywhere Since the Arrival of ChatGPT

    Jump

  • I wonder if it would be suitable to adjust people's grades each year on their final exam.

    For example instead of having assignments worth 25%, attendance 10%, quizzes 20%, midterm 20%, and final 25%

    Have it as assignments 75% and attendance as 25%

    Then adjust all of that for by midterm and finals

    Get 100% on your assignments due to chatgpt and show up to class every time despite not paying attention, if you get 50% on your quizzes, midterm, and final you get 50% overall, not 67.5%

  • Republicans vote to dilute gas as prices rise above $4.50

    Jump

  • If only AI data centres had to pay $5 a gallon for gasoline to power their equipment and we could use free clean water to power our vehicles.

  • In 2016, 67% of Americans agreed that most people can get ahead if they were willing to work hard. Today, it's 47%

  • I find the shift in black and Hispanic responses interesting as well. They were higher than white people before and now lower.

  • GOP Rep Humiliates Boy, 10, for Writing Letter About Electric Cars

    Jump

  • Republicans are like the person who spends too much money on Cheap Chinese crap that they don't need because it feels like they are getting a bunch of material stuff but it never lasts and they need to constantly buy more to replace it.

    Democrats seem more like the people who spend a bunch of money on fewer but quality goods that you can rely on and don't need to replace as often, because it also improves the quality of your experience and reliability in the future.

    Both end up spending the same in the long run but one has a more reliable and higher quality household.

  • Trump 'considering' Venezuela as 51st state, acting president responds

    Jump

  • Well he has been able to do a shit ton without out congressional approval that he wasn't supposed to, no wonder he thinks he get do it without Venezuela's consent as well.

  • A schoolbus, stopping in front of a residential home, is rear ended by a full size truck

    Jump

  • Yes, technically he was following too closely to account for the fact he was looking at his phone.

    If you are looking at your phone you should probably be leaving much more space between you and the vehicle in front due to the fact that your reaction time will be significantly delayed. So technically too close. If he wasn't on the phone it would have been proper following distance.

  • A data center used 29 million gallons of water without a bill, while residents complained about low water pressure

    Jump

  • Well, yes it wouldn't heat it a "little bit" at the source but once added back into the system the average increase would probably be a "little bit".

  • I just bought a house which has a pump and water line for garden hoses and irrigation

    I have no idea where the water is coming from

    The house has a well, but the irrigation system is completely separate and has a pipe running somewhere that I have no idea about.
