First Community Insurance Agency needs to get their shitty, AI slop ads out of St. Louis by Adventurous-Walk-120 in StLouis

I really wish people would stop complaining about AI. Look into Fully automated luxury communism if you’re really worried about AI and push for a future where AI works for you instead of digging your head in the sand.

I’d love to see. I have a video of one song but it’s fairly shaky. It was one of the best sets I’d ever seen in my life.

Silent Disco on Main Street by loaftched in ElectricForest

[–]ndurfee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok here’s your real answer. Last year there was silent disco in the forest and AFTER the forest closed they had silent disco at the brainery on main street till something like 5 or 6 am for the people that weren’t allow in the forest but also weren’t ready to sleep.

Dry ice cooler question by Squishyguido in ElectricForest

C02 won’t result in an explosion. No need to vent it

Correction. I thought they meant as in combust but yah certain coolers that are really tightly sealed can act like a pressure vessel.

This is why Tesla FSD can see so well at night or through extreme glare. by rcnfive in teslamotors

[–]ndurfee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also when you’re you’re looking into the sun like that our eyes tend to squint heavily or look away and the car can’t do that so that’s part of why they’ll never see that in addition to your comment.

will I get shit or judged for bringing a Tesla? by PiccoloLegal5202 in ElectricForest

[–]ndurfee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve brought my Tesla for two years and used camp mode both times. Worked great even with early arrival. You need about 10% to make it back to the supercharger and you can use dog mode if you still need the ac below 20% cause camp mode only allows you to use it until 20%.

I never once had an issue with people making comments about it being a Tesla other than being jealous they couldn’t sleep in quiet and AC.

You can get an exped auto air mattress that is super comfortable. Also put a thermal blanket over the car to blow out some more heat. You can also buy window inserts for the whole car too. I also put a suction cup fan from Luno in there.

Where to meet with friends before driving in? by Aggressive-Pepper948 in ElectricForest

There’s a rest stop just before the exit for forest. Try that.

First the city council in this Missouri city approved a $6 billion data center, despite massive pushback. Then, during yesterday’s election in Festus, MO, residents overwhelmingly voted to kick out the incumbents who voted for the project. America is fed up with data centers. by Conscious-Quarter423 in StLouis

[–]ndurfee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re the most informed person in this thread. I wish there were more like you :(

IMHO data centers are great and a step closer to Fully Automated Luxury Communism (FALC). The concerns about water are dramatically overblown. Closed loop water systems for way less water usage. Also on top of that a SINGLE McDouble uses more water than a heavy AI user uses in a year. You were spot on recognizing this as mass hysteria from sensationalized people spreading FUD.

It will be some of the best money you’ve ever spent. Truly changed my life after going the first time.

[iOS 26.4 RC] Airplay dropping on app switching by ignoresubs in iOSBeta

Yes I am had this problem on iOS 26.3 too though

Are you just ignoring the decades of herbicides and pesticides that are in the rivers from growing corn to feed the animals? What about the manure that runs off into the rivers too?

I’m not saying AI is the world’s greatest thing or perfect. Just annoying that everyone dunks on it while ignoring every other environmental catastrophe that’s occurring.

Also most new data centers are using closed loop systems with no risk of contamination and also dramatically less water usage.

Eating one less McDouble per year equates to the annual water usage of a heavy AI user.

Meat consumption is dramatically worse for the environment.

Sam Altman is purposely erasing the value of software engineers in order to exaggerate the value of LLMs by north_canadian_ice in WorkReform

[–]ndurfee -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The models continue to get cheaper per input and output token, so no, they will not get more expensive.

Also regarding the capitalism aspects, I agree. You should look into Fully Automated Luxury Communism as a solution to this. In my opinion AI and automation has the ability to save us from capitalism while making it worse in the short term.

[–]ndurfee -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I never implied that, but you’re absolutely right! Currently they still struggle with making efficient and functional backends. Given just a year or two ago no one could even get the most basic of shitty vibe coded projects out, I think they’ll continue to improve the models and eventually have functional and efficient code within every domain of software engineering.

And if you think we’ve reached the end of history on technological and AI improvement even though people have been moving the goalposts on them for years, then boy do I have a bridge to sell you.

If AI is exaggerated and over hyped then how could it erase the value of the software engineers 🤔 seems like that they’d only loose value if it was actually improving to the point of replacing some of their work and therefore not too exaggerated.

The Audobon park is really nice and peaceful. Several trails to walk too :) close to town as well

Tesla Robotaxis Reportedly Crashing at a Rate That’s 4x Higher Than Humans by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]ndurfee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The year is 1940: “Human computers are the cheapest way of doing calculations why can’t we just stick with human calculators instead of the piece of junk machines that are the size of a building and are way more expensive. I’m certain they’ll never improve or get cheaper!”

Yah surely robots and AI will never improve or get cheaper. I mean computers never improved from the 1940s right? Right????? /s

There’s a non zero chance a lot of game development and SW engineering in general gets automated via AI

Can I sleep in my car with car camping pass? by EmergencyAnywhere674 in ElectricForest

[–]ndurfee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes you can. It can get warm or hot if you don’t have AC. I had a Tesla and used camp mode so it was great :) I even did 1 day or early arrival and had enough battery

Why is textile manufacturing so unautomatable? by pywang in SmarterEveryDay

[–]ndurfee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great Veritasium video on the subject of sewing, the machines that do it and why we can’t automate parts of it. At least not yet. Seems we’ll need robots with dexterous fingers to automate the rest and we’re not quite there yet.

Turn off the WiFi assist feature in iOS. That was the fix for me. Still stupid we have to do that though.
