  • First, we actually don't really need that research, indoor growing is a very well known activities that is already performed in many places. There are large indoor farms in northern Europe (cold), in the middle east (hot). Greenhouse, tunnels, aren't exactly new.

    Second, it's not what those companies were doing, they were trying to create farming factories that are fully automated, their goals was to remove humans, not to find ways to fight climate change.

  • I remember very well bioware games and others in past decades got the same kind of reaction because « omg gay romance, that kind of agenda shouldn't be pushed in a video game, think of the children ».

    So now the new social "battle" is trans right and the game has a gender questioning character (From a review, I haven't played) that seems to take at most a whole 5 minutes over the course of the whole game. Why not.

    Now the game has been designed to cater to 10 year old and not the older crowd who played the original so it doesn't have the depth you'd want and the dialog is on the nose. Well, too bad. Just play something else.

  • Nestle and Boeing produces things that you consume. Bezos is a billionaire because of all the shit that you bought from him.

    If everyone refused to fly, Boeing would disappear in about 5 years and if they didn't buy shit they don't need, there wouldn't be a fast fashion industry.

    You can turn it around as much as you want at the end it's the behaviour of the masses that matters.

  • I never understood the economics of those Agtech.

    The margins on vegetables are shit.

    Consumers won't care that each of your potatoes had it's own email addresse, a twitter account and was monitored by an AI.

    Farmers are not just redneck assholes who needed some MIT grad to tell them how to increase yield, there's already a huge agro industry and research and we've reached a point where the yield of carrots and others is pretty much already maximised. Assuming they are genius and get a 1% yield improvement that would be enormous.

    A farm hand cost $25k a year, and engineer cost $150k and you haven't priced in the tech and the building...

    So you basically get a business where the cost of operation is about 20 time higher (and that's conservative) than a guy with a plot of land and a tractor for sensibly the same yield (if not worse) and zero product differentiation in the market.

    Well, I guess they just figured out the economics...

  • The sentences when someone gets a sentence for 100's, or 1000's of years, do they have the same function?

    Basically the judge saying that no matter how much time credit your get for good behaviour while in prison you're still intended to spend the rest of your life there.

  • Self hosted server to do what?

    Because I have a self hosted server running on a refurb Lenovo mini-pc that I bought for $90 and it does a fine job running the dozen or so docker image of service I need.

    But I ain't gonna run no LLM on that machine, that's for sure.

  • Pointless debate. Pichai is a corporate management suit, he wouldn't know code if it slapped him in the face. He just need to pretend Google is at the top of the AI game and he just made up meaningless number on an even more meaningless metrics.

  • In case you missed it, in our broken model of civilization a CEO's only responsibility is to increase value for shareholders. Not to clients, not to employees, not to the biosphere.

    Market cap increased, job's done successfully.
