  • Since a lot of people seem to be jumping to extreme conclusions about this based on specious assumptions, here’s how the process works according to the article:

    Magrathea — named after a planet in the hit novel The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy — buys waste brines, often from desalination plants, and allows the water to evaporate, leaving behind magnesium chloride salts. Next, it passes an electrical current through the salts to separate them from the molten magnesium, which is then cast into ingots or machine components.








  • First, I’m glad you made it to the fediverse Loon-god, you’ll always be a Warrior’s legend.

    Second, anecdotally even the crappy results generated by LLMs have value for me. Writing emails, jira tickets, documentation, etc. are all incredibly painful for me. I’ll start an email and suddenly folding laundry I’ve ignored for 2 days is the most important thing in the world for me. Then the email that should take 5 minutes takes me an hour and turns out being way to long and dense.

    With an LLM I give it a few bullet points with general details, it spits out a paragraph or so, I edit the paragraph for tone and add specific details, and then I’m done in about 5 minutes.

    LLMs help me to complete tasks that I really really don’t want to do, which has a lot of value to me. They aren’t going to replace me at my job, but they’ve have really upped my productivity.

    This is an interesting take. You seem to think that Biden has unilateral power to decide treaties and spending. Also, that he can pass whichever law he wants. It’s almost like you don’t understand how 2 of the 3 branches of government work. Did you take a civics class in high school?
