For all the people who have bought in 100 percent to this supposed "AI revolution" we're in the middle of: don't you think we'd be seeing 10x to 20x+ gains in productivity like they try to say is happening? Wouldn't prices come down by 10x to 20x+? Indeed, the opposite is happening.
For those who are experienced programmers, what do you feel are the biggest recent advancements in technology broadly right now? Who are your influences, or what ideas are you looking into more deeply right now?
Wish I had space for trees. I just recently started growing basil and broccoli. My goal is to have about 20 basil plants being maintained by the end of the year.
Plastics are starting to be replaced, especially single use plastics. I've begun replacing a lot with glass, plant based materials, cellulose, and so on. The world can dramatically reduce its plastic consumption but it needs massive investment in circular infrastructure.
The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive
I like the right one. Better contrast.
When I was a kid and would see visualizations of the future in movies or TV, I would think "wow, awesome, look how cool that is" was told how much cleaner the environment would be. Now I'm an adult and see people turn down EVs, solar panels, or batteries because ew, yucky, "I don't like that color".
I have a 2021 Premium. Love it.
Really interested in the Rivian R2 and watching how it goes closely. 👀
Just paid off my Mach-E in full this week. 😎🔋⚡️
Already planning out what my next EV will be. 🤔

Oh snap, let's goooo.
Pretty good videogame.
Civil war is exactly what they want because as soon as that happens they will suspend elections, declare emergency, enact martial law. Peaceful protest and non-violent resistance continues to be a thorn in their side.
Announcement: STEAM DEMO OUT NOW!
The early dungeons of Forbidden Solitaire are now open to those bold - or foolish - enough to explore them.
How badly do you wish to live forever? 👁️🩸

Cliff, noooo. I live in Texas. Wait until I can get out of here.
Self-hosting on your own site is certainly an option. You can also pay for stuff like Vimeo.
Agree that we need alternatives - many have tried and failed to start them over the years.
Worth mentioning that power stations and panels can be done on their own and you just plug stuff into the power stations. I got hooked on Ecoflow, Anker, and similar products over a year ago. And you can build out pieces at a time for more affordability.
Assuming that means 20MW per day and not max output or something?
As you might have noticed, I did quite a long time ago. Very happy to see you follow, Cliff.
The United States is an embarrassing place to live lately. But remember: many of us Americans feel differently about where we come from, and we remember a time when our best minds were looking outward to the future with a bigger perspective. This essence lives.

Been playing through Metroid Prime Remastered instead and I have zero regrets about my buying decision for that over Prime 4. But I hear Prime 4 is good, just not great.
Don't blame you at all. For a lot of us, moving or leaving is not simple or easy at all. Still hoping for the best in the next few years.

That was a fantastic ending to Stranger Things. Well done all who worked on the show! Loved it.
What?! Batteries? Like in the TV remote?!?!
My social media feeds now largely consist of gardening, power stations & solar power, electric cars, waste reduction, and videogames. Honestly, I can't imagine needing much of anything else.
As we quickly approach the new year, I'd just like to once again say thank you to all Elega Corp customers and course learners. You have more options than ever and if you're giving our products a shot - it means something important. I'm so excited to bring you even more new content in 2026.
If the family that is homeless on the street is never looked at by the people passing by and no one is around to hear them, do they actually exist?
And the answer is yes, obviously, you f%#$ing idiots.
The internet is actually insane. I can get on here, post something like "we all want clean air in our cities" and there's always that one guy in the replies like "YOU KNOW WHAT'S BETTER THAN THAT? A V8 GAS POWERED ENGINE!" And no, no it is not better, obviously.
Technology now exists for homeowners, land owners, and some apartment dwellers to: produce their own energy with solar, use that to power grow lights that support dozens of edible vegetable plants and filter captured rainwater, which then: reduces dependency on govt, utilities, and corporations. ☀️🥕⚡️
