To manage the AI madness, I've started writing html templates. Old school way. Using #11ty, #SCSS, some bunch of scripts and template languages. Not a single line is written by LLM.
It feels so good. I used to be so fast with this things. Now I need tons of time to remember everything. But the feeling is amazing.
Sometimes I wonder, do these people really think this ai generated crap looks somehow "awesome"? Everyone (at least in IT) has a trained eye already to just ignore this kind of generated stuff. Nobody reads that.
#Bun is a weird project, where initially I really liked the direction. Then, it felt odd at looking over this speed obsession, while ignoring memory leaks reports. And then, finally, there's Zig drama, plus it's now 100% ai vibe coded rewrite for the sake of Anthropic marketing.
@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io I’m trying to find something with those numbers, because for me it doesn’t sound right. Too many assumptions and statements.
Presence of AC in any form of efficiency has no way of reducing heat waves and their causes. You can’t compensate produced electricity by not using more of it at winter. It’s already produced, consumed and byproducts already went to atmosphere.
It does sounds like just another climate maladaptation example. But if there’s research, can you share it?
@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io I would love to read papers on that. So far, I can’t see how air conditioners saves energy.
@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io The paradox is that placing air conditioning in all those places for all those people will speed up global warming, and increase the problem even more.
That is unfortunate, of course, but real solutions to this mess are unacceptable for most governments. And the right wing crowd doesn’t “believe “ that we even have a problem.
And yes, I suffer like all tge rest, and I have no air conditioning.
