@Scobleizer I think we can safely say TSMC is fully booked for the next five years...

How can old people compete with the 20-year-olds? I built alignednews.com/ai It reads all the AI community here on X. I built it. I am 61 years old. No 20 year old has built anything close. The secret for old people is to take your knowledge and teach AIs. The kids haven’t been on X for 19 years. That is why they didn’t build it. What have you been learning for 19 years? That is how you compete with the young people. Oh, and the guy, @blevlabs, who built the AI I used just turned 21. That is the other secret. They aren’t competition. An old person and a young person together means you get the best of both. But I do admit not nearly enough old people have put in the time to learn AI and that is a shame.

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman says new grads are now more valuable than "old people" with experience because they're more AI-native: "Kids coming out of college right now learned how to program with AI. They're really good at it." "We'll go heavy on new grads because there's so much more AI-native." "It's the old people like me. I didn't want to give it up." "Younger people don't have that baggage. They just write with AI." "The best new grads—if you don't hire them as new grads, you will never see them. They will never be on the job market again. They're too valuable." "So if you don't hire them when they're young, you will never see them. Or if you do, they're 100x more expensive."

As soon as we have viable Grid-to-Home implemented for EVs, it's game over. An EV is basically a VERY cheap, and giant battery (enough to power a whole home for days). Oh - with a free vehicle included.

What did Plant Vogtle's new reactors cost Georgians? I have recently realized that nuclear supporters congratulating @GeorgiaPower for reactors 3 & 4 do not know how much they cost. Reports filed at the GA PSC include data only on Ga Power's 45.7% ownership share.

@PGE4Me Not a shred of irony? No power so far in 2023, nor informative updates. 53 hours and counting - house is cold, fridge is warm, Happy New Year to you as well. Yesterday was about as sunny and nice as Lafayette gets in January - no progress whatsoever.

@PGE4Me Glad you are having a HNY because your customers are living a nightmare. I’m a disabled Pleasant Hill resident and can not use any of my medical equipment that needs to be plugged in. Every time you give a restoration time, it gets pushed back once that time nears. UNACCEPTABLE!!

Tempted as I was to guess what was really happening in Texas, I went for the "voice of reason" instead. I'm sure I'll pay for it. linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

It is absolutely fucking bananas that anything related to climate change can’t be paid-promoted on Twitter because it’s deemed “political content,” even when politics are never mentioned and it’s a piece of journalistic work. This happens to me constantly and I’m apoplectic.
