  • I would say it doesn’t exactly say that AI is bad moreso that shoving it forcefully in people’s throat is not the way to do it.

    If all the BS AI of Windows would be exclusively opt-in I would be “” fine"" with it.

    Then there is also the “telemetry” and the random updates, or settings changing on their own and…







  • I understand AI is really unpopular over here but for that I think it can be a good training partner.

    Give it the name of the business the job description and let it work a preparation plan.

    Also a reminder that sometimes we all fail interviews and that’s the nature of this exercise. And sometimes interviewer will purposefully put you in an impossible scenario just to see how you behave under stress. So remaining calm and humbly saying what you dont know or understand can be a good thing to do. I did get a job for an interview I felt I had completely failed.

    Anyway don’t give up and good luck for your next interviews !


  • I live in a country that produces 70+% of its energy through nuclear reactors.

    Sure we are definitely an exception but turning off datacenters where I live wouldn’t change anything about coal.

    To be clear I’m not advocating for nuclear energy nor am I saying it’s a bad option.

    Every country has a different energy mix, some more “carbon efficient” than others let’s say but it is not only revolving about coal and renewables.

    Anyway, I think it’s fairly clear to me the datacenters won’t shutdown anytime soon even without AI it’s gonna be a major consumption of energy in any country. So I think nuclear should definitely at least considered as an option and to some extent be part of any energy mix. I think everyone knows that only renewables is not really a realistic scenario. Coal obviously is the worst option in any amount. So yeah, I was surprised that you didn’t mention it that’s it. I do think it’s very much relevant to the topic of the ever increasing energy consumption we are all gonna face in the future. This post would probably not even exist if we shutdown datacenters but I suppose you meant it as shutting down only processing power toward AI. But still we will need more datacenters in the future no matter what.









  • What I’m understanding is imgur could get fine even if they dont offer their service anymore in the UK.

    They could go back to just after the law passed and tell them “hey you were infringing on this extremely disrupting law that would completely change your business in the UK so pay up”.

    I mean if a business just decides to not serve UK customer they should leave them alone… Especially such a complex law for something like Imgur…
