And then suddenly ceased to exist.

The Man in the High Castle has a pretty good take on this.

It was our grain that they were taking. The potatoes were attacked by fungus.

Ireland isn’t bad from a basic survival perspective - massive food surplus and plenty of water - but if we wanted to maintain current living standards, I think we would fall down on power as it stands currently. Plenty of natural wind and tidal power resources that are underutilised.

Yeah I figured there weren’t enough keys but couldn’t tell if there was a workaround using layers or something.

How much of a learning curve is there with it? Is it actually feasible to type with?

I watched a bit of Michael Alm’s video on this, but noped out when I saw all of the little boxes of consumables appearing. If regular printer ink is already exorbitant, I can only imagine what these proprietary cartridges will cost.

This is a common theme across all medications on occasion. Maintaining a global supply chain is tricky. I’ve never seen a shortage of sertraline before, but it wouldn’t surprise me. They’re usually short-term, but you may want to talk to your doctor about an alternative to bridge the gap.

The auto-complete in VSCode is one of the few AI use cases that I actually find useful. Passing a whole bunch of args in a python class function call to set instance variables just becomes that little bit less tedious. Lots of little things like that add up to nice time savings.

The “ask copilot” features are absolutely terrible though.

No. See the recent example of Meta blocking Careless People from being publicised and the book’s subsequent position on the bestseller list for reference.

Stranger still to make the headline about one small paragraph in the middle of the piece that was clearly an aside.

The sequels expand on the premise in pretty interesting ways too.

You should read Semiosis, a sci-fi book about a planet with a lot of bamboo.

C’mon Matrim - EXPLODE!
