Absolutely not. That would be crazy.

Make no mistakes.

We currently use vast amounts of land growing corn and other crops specifically for biodiesel. Solar panels produce over 100x more energy per hectare than corn ethanol, even in countries like Denmark with limited sunlight. It makes perfect sense to repurpose some biofuel farmland for solar panels. That's just efficient land use, not an attack on agriculture.

> corn and other crops specifically for biodiesel.

honestly that always sounded very misguided to me

fields are not perfectly renewable, biomas gets removed from them and fertilizers can only help so much in any given time frame

mostly corn/raps mono-culture can make that easily far worse

and not needing to import food can safe a lot of energy too

also as you mentioned, modern solar panels seem overall more efficient

in difference to solar or wind, biodiesel just seem a very bad choice

Don't forget all the pesticides and fertilizer that they have been pumping into the ground for the last 100 years.

Farms are industrial estates.

I can't downvote you enough for this comment, but hopefully others will. You're arguing that a device designed for portability is perfect as it is because you're supposed to use external monitors and proper keyboards. This is peak HN/Reddit/"current society", whatever you want to call it.

I'm arguing that using a laptop without dedicated input and display peripherals if you can avoid it is a bit of masochism and filing off the corners won't fix it.

Hey Claude, rename all these jobs to include AI so that WSJ can write an article about AI creating new jobs.

"Read the Book" button, next gen web UI. That's all you need to know about this one.

I'd like to know why i'm bothering to read the book?

Maybe sell it some.

Next Gen UI. Bold sounding, show it.

You don't need to read, but you may want to look, if you want to see web UI in action. It is much better than a static screenshot.

Then they should put some links to some demo's.

That was the main point at beginning. They aren't showing, so kind of leaving it up to you to go dig through the manual. Like reading the manual is not a demo.

They aren't giving any incentive to cause someone to waste time on them.

Good feedback. I'll make a demo page showcasing all the examples and link to it from the home page.

By asking it to cite its sources. Whenever I use AI, I have it pull direct quotes from the text to justify its interpretation. Sometimes it's spot on, sometimes it's wrong. But skimming a paper to fact-check a few specific quotes is still vastly faster than reading a dense paper completely blind.

That sure took a lot of work for something that nobody's gonna watch.

> This means llms have not improved in their programming abilities for over a year. Isn’t that wild? Why is nobody talking about this?

Because it's not true. They have improved tremendously in the last year, but it looks like they've hit a wall in the last 3 months. Still seeing some improvements but mostly in skills and token use optimization.

> but mostly in skills and token use optimization.

I have heard rumors that token use optimization has been a recent focus to try to tidy up the financials of these companies before they IPO. take that with a grain of salt though

After only 3 months (!) you can claim a plateau, but not a wall.

AI won’t replace all white collar work. Just like the tractor didn't replace all farmers, only about 98% of them. The real question is: what's next? When farming automated, those workers eventually filled our factories and offices. When the offices automate, where do they go? Back to farming?

Beyond Earth :D

Real life Battlestar Galactica would be pretty sweet.
