The assumption is that one day large language models and other related AI technologies fostered by Google Gemini and OpenAI ChatGPT actually will be a great and infallible productivity tool for genuine work.
It already is decent for providing basic overviews of highly-covered, well-sourced topics, even as hallucinations and sycophancy continue to dog the tech, particularly in situations where accountability is more critical.

Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, with estimates that it has no road to profitability by 2030 — and will need a further $207 billion in funding even if it gets there

I keep seeing people say, "this is the sickest I've ever been, it's so much worse than COVID."

When I build a website, I always focus on the backend first, making sure everything works. I always start with the most difficult part and leave the frontend for last because, in theory, it's easier. And it's always the same: 25% of the time is spent on the backend and 75% on the frontend.
How is this possible? JS and PHP are really tough, and HTML with CSS is a piece of cake, right? Right?!

The western US is in a snow drought, and storms have been making it worse
A major atmospheric river brought record precipitation to the Pacific Northwest, yet the snow and water supply still suffered. It’s a growing problem.

Yet more presumably to HostRoyale, who has not been considered a major player in the hosting business afaik. And they are not particularly cheap. But they are acquiring a substantial amount of v4 space that is making me at least, perk up and take notice. Something is driving these purchases, and I'm afraid to learn what that is if I start digging.

From subtle shifts in the procedural mechanics of
self-defense doctrine
to substantive expansions of justified lethal force,
legislatures are delegating larger amounts of
“violence work”
to the private sphere.
These regulatory innovations layer on top of existing rules that broadly authorize private violence
—both defensive and offensive
—for self-protection and the ostensible maintenance of law and order.
Yet such significant authority…

THE NEW OUTLAWRY - Columbia Law Review
Introduction From subtle shifts in the procedural mechanics of self-defense doctrine to substantive expansions of justified lethal force, many red-state legislatures across the country are delegating larger amounts of “violence work” to the private sphere. In the wake of antiracism protests in summer 2020, Republican-dominated legislatures proposed a slew of such measures. The measures provide […]
