  • Very focused on the north American market. Where I live induction stove tops have been more or less standard for 20+ years. BUT I didn’t know special round coils existed for round wokpans. Pretty cool. Although I think a wokpans with a flat bottom is fine for home cooking, maybe get one that is slightly heavier so its able to retain more heat as you work your food. It is kind of ridiculous that this would be an argument to get a gas stove, given that standard gas stoves don’t have a rocket engine flame that is required to get the real wok experience at home anyway. I don’t even think you would want that in a home kitchen. Also it is a bit niche for most people.

    Fuck you.

    I hate to break it to you but these boomer guys are in charge. Nothing will happen until they either die or change their mind. That is the reality. Everything that has been done so far for the environment have done nothing at all, every year we have a new record carbon emissions. It does not matter how many solar panels and EVs they shove down our throats. It is not sustainable.

    To be fair. His farming ventures have moved his opinion on climate in a positive direction. People can change their mind and that is a good thing. I would even go as far as calling it a very good sign that even a person as stubborn as the great ape Clarkson can change their opinion on this matter is absolutely fantastic. Good on Clarkson! And fuck the other guy for shoving up the past in his face when he is trying to be better.





  • Research papers in creative cloud? I am guessing she is using something like InDesign or illustrator to make pdfs or maybe Acrobat? I think you need to clarify what her workflow entails to get better answers.

    But going with my assumptions, it sounds like she can get away with using some kind of Office suit instead, maybe 365? not that it would solve the enshitification of apps problem… But I do consider it a stable program both as installed apps and on the web. There are also endless tutorials and support to get if she is running into issues.

    With that said, it is probably not worth it if she is a boomer. It would take a long time to get into a new workflow and it would affect her output. If she is used to adobe she should probably stick to it.


  • Some of these are a real longshot. I’d wadger to say most of them even. Sure, some companies will try to do this. But in three years alot of those companies will realize that humans are very good at certain tasks and much more reliable than a superbot that will probably still be prone to hallucinations and also have issues with maintainance, because in the end, nobody can look at the code and say “oh here is a bug, I’ll have that sorted by Thursday”. Just look at Google, one of the most successful software companies in the world, they can barely figure out how to solve the issues with their ai search. They just blame it on being a new feature and have to manually block the ai from saying stupid shit. It has become this strange game of whack-em-all but instead of being harmless it is backed by these massive corporations that only care about their stock price going to the moon.









  • Text to video, automated driving, object detection, language translations. I might be misusing the term, you could argue that the word is describing what LLMs commonly does and that is where the term is derived from. You can also argue that AI is sometimes correct and the human have issues identifying the correct answer. But In my mind it is much the same just different applications. A car completely missing a firetruck approaching or a LLM just spewing out wrong statements is the same to me.
