I was really surprised when I first saw this chart on water use by data centers. Given how much it gets discussed as a supposed problem I would have expected it to be more than this.

So ridiculous. AWS didn't "break the entire internet." Companies that decided to build non-resilient systems depending on one single cloud region (aws-us-east-1) broke themselves. Noticed how X, Google, Meta, Shopify etc were all fine? "Breaking up" would solve nothing...
If a company can break the entire internet, they are too big. Period. It's time to break up Big Tech.

To the man in 2D. Today you were traveling from Orlando to Philly. I don’t know you, but I imagine you saw us somewhere. I was pushing a stroller, had a diaper bag on my arm and also lugging an oxygen machine for my daughter. We had smiles on our faces as we were headed to see

I would totally pay $30 month for “article tokens” that could be used to read from various papers. This would be amazing for local journalism
It’s really annoying that capitalism and lack of creativity has driven CNN and NYTimes to only offer subscriptions for premium content. I would 100% buy a $1 NY Times article once every couple of weeks. But instead I’m doing the digital equivalent of trying to pay for a

The children being born now will never know coding without AI, writing without AI, thinking without AI. They won’t know what it means to be un-surveilled, untracked, out of touch, truly alone. They won’t know what it means to not have the information, to wait for something,

At 21, my first job out of college was at an environmental nonprofit fighting to save nuclear plants from premature closure. Specifically, it was founded to save Diablo Canyon. We were told it was hopeless. The lieutenant governor, now governor, opposed it. The deal was “done.”
Kathy Hochul assures Westchester County Executive she will not support a restart of Indian Point or any new project there either, even though she believes Cuomo's mission to shut it down was a mistake. What a shame, but which Dems would back her instead of fight her on it, with

Real men yearn to master the craft of total excel proficiency without the crutch of the mouse
men need to be working real jobs again. muscle and a shovel style jobs. testosterone levels would rise and men would feel like they had a purpose again. men yearn for the oil rigs and coal mines not the excel spreadsheets and 9-5 grind. we've neutered them, one business day at a

I was 26 when I first became a manager and 26 when I first had to fire someone. I remember I couldn’t sleep for two days before. The day off I was a less. The meeting my hand was shaking from adrenaline. I took the rest of the week off of work. When you realize that that is

Sen. Tillis on Trump's 10% stake in Intel: "I don't care if it's a dollar or a billion dollar stake in an American company, that starts feeling like a semi-state owned enterprise, à la CCCP...You're going to have to explain to me how this reconciles with free market capitalism."

We are saddened by the passing of Jim Lovell, commander of Apollo 13 and a four-time spaceflight veteran. Lovell's life and work inspired millions. His courage under pressure helped forge our path to the Moon and beyond—a journey that continues today. https://t.co/AjT8qmxsZI

When I was growing up in rural Alabama, we lived in this mobile home until I was in fifth grade. Rural working-class Americans’ economic challenges matter to me. The dumbest rule you’ve never heard of drives up their housing costs. It’s time to get rid of it. (link below) 1/2

Great post on the basics of GenAI’s impact on your job
