Mushed peas

Honestly sounds like my average day before LLMs too

If I have to interact with the tool daily, liking the UI would be an important point for me, alongside with privacy, cost, platform support, etc.

I have been hearing of this for a few years now, nothing specific recently that I can share, but I have enjoyed watching China Found Something Better Than Oil, which is the same topic but about neodymium magnets.

Great contribution to the conversation

I see, yes my understanding is that the process can be a lot cleaner and other countries do it (like the US), China just chooses to take cheap shortcuts to take stranglehold of the market, which they now have.

I wasn’t arguing that. The way China mines and processes lithium for battery manufacture, in which they’re the leading exporter by far due to their rich rare earth deposits, is destroying the surrounding areas.

The question was about politics and economics, not morals.
I would hope not supporting suffering and destruction doesn’t need to be explicitly stated to be understood.

I don’t know if I agree. A dictatorship decides to make more batteries and so the industry bends. Land is taken by the state to build mines. Little regard for the people or the environment.
All of this makes it easier for China to just move to electric, and part of why the EVs they export are so cheap.
They subsidise by environmental impact and possibly human suffering.

* Not to mention they own the battery market.

Look I’ll be honest, a CEO telling his workers their (valid) opinions are bullshit and looser thinking is absolutely unacceptable, even putting the context of security (or lack thereof) aside. If you refuse to listen to your engineers as a leadership, you have failed miserably.

Too stupid? Doubt it. He says what he needs to profit his company and himself.
Idiots are any people actually listening.

* Well, that’s overly harsh. Not everyone is a techie, can’t expect the average person to know what this means.

I stand corrected!

On consoles, developers still duplicate assets for HDD optimization (faster loading, more storage). Often they don’t bother to ‘fix’ that for PC when ported.

These Folds are built like tanks (relative to the complexity). The engineering is really impressive.

Lots of varied advice in the thread. I would suggest you choose a software first, then find recommended naming for it. Many will do some organisation for you, or even let you define the structure.

I don’t like calibre, but it’s undeniably the most complete solution. I’m not a fan of having to remote into a desktop for certain actions that given frontent doesn’t support (there are many).

I think it would be quite rate for something like this to be feasible at all. Decisions like this are set in stone before development starts, and tend to dictate the development direction.

Yeah I’m confused. I also don’t remember ever using a site tha would force use of passkeys. I always have standard TOTP alongside those.

As if the same cameras aren’t pointed at everyone standing in a checkout line, let’s be honest, it makes no difference. You still swipe your card at the end, walk around with your phone radio, the face is just a cherry on top.

We can’t really produce enough heat through industry to affect the earth globally, if that’s what you meant. It’s insignificant in comparison to what the Sun provides.
However there is undeniably localised issues caused by these insane structures.
