They love us so much they jumped to the more physical expression of love - with or without our consent.

Will LLMs keep improving if we throw more compute at them? OpenAI dealmaker thinks so. At least until they find something else to run after

The Formics are coming! (Sorry, just watched Ender's Game again -- the book is of course better, but it's always a pleasure to watch Harrison Ford.)

At least it was better than Avatar. But then again, a steaming pile of doggy do is better than Avatar.

One of those was a special-effects extravaganza with in-your-face symbolism and a meh story. There is no other Avatar, just like there is no war in Ba Sing Se. It was better than the one that doesn't exist.

On the other hand, I find the serie now, pretty well done and worth seeing.
Still nothing as the original cartoon.

No doubt they are called Formics because they look like giant ants, and on Earth, some ants use formic acid as a defense.

In 2023, Google and Microsoft each consumed 24 TWh of electricity, surpassing the consumption of over 100 nations, including places like Iceland, Ghana, and Tunisia Maybe they can cancel a few more products and get higher on the list

so a companies that operates across multiple counties and contributes to those countries total energy consumption has a high energy consumption
what a surprise

I read that first as:Quote: Another issue is interruptions causing lack of time for sleeping at work, reported by 27 percent.
Truly, I did read it that way first, was scanning the article rather too quickly.

Is not that what remote working is for? At least, most managers think it.

I'm not even going to read the article.
Over my 40+ years in the industry, the single biggest issue I have seen is management wanting to control. When you are hiring, you want smart people, yes? So you hire smart people, and guess what? They might just know more than you. Embrace this.
Example: I built up two development teams. I only had one rule - you will use version control. They all stared at me. I said, "What?" They said, "which one?" I said, "we're paying you a $hit ton of money to develop. If you people cannot figure it out, I want your resignations. I clearly hired the wrong people."
Deer in head lights look.
Just before I went into a passionate profanity laced tirade, my chief a$$hole - Ray, I hope you are well - said "we'll let you know." And it was solved. I had people with masters degrees and others so stupefied by management as to be almost non functional.
Managers don't need to MANAGE if they hired the right people. Your job is to give your developers the tools and the freedom to get the job done. So many people who become managers think they need to be in control. Fail. Oh, another thought. If their is a bad player on the team, get rid of them. No mercy. The remaining team will bless you.
Band of Brothers - Speirs Takes Command - YouTube[^]
is the best example of management in a crisis situation. Delegate, depend on your people, demand that they perform and reward them accordingly. In my 4 years of management, I only stepped into the role because I wanted more money and a different challenge. I was completely unprepared for what I would encounter. But, this is systemic in the tech industry. I was promoted because people thought I was smart and "able to get things done." Sheer BS. If a company wants to develop true leadership, follow the armed services...

The idea for the new stillsuit came from Frank Herbert's Dune novels. Now they don't have to visit the lemonade stand

To be a Dune stillsuit, they also need to recycle sweat.

In the not-so-distant future, we may all be doing that, whether we're in orbit or down "in the well."
