I see, I know the arguments from gamers (and have seen that video before). The discussion was on TVs and I didn’t think of the gaming angle.
I’m also not convinced about that stuff, to me it’s like talking to audiophiles that swear they can totally hear the difference between made by an expensive ethernet cable in the final audio, or that they can tell 16bit 48kHz from 24bit 96kHz, while basic physics and double blind tests say they can’t.
What would be the benefit of a CRT? I’m sure they last plenty, but they draw a lot of power.
It really isn’t.
It’s the Antwerp Port Authority in Antwerp, Belgium. Designed by Zaha Hadid. Pretty cool.>!!<

I saw several such hybrid old/new building combinations in Flemish cities. And they usually manage to pull it off.
Another example I liked is the STAM, the Ghent city museum. They also host a nice yearly jazz festival in the courtyard of that one.
I really really hate to admit it, but the Germans can bread.
a couple KDE tweaks even made PiP work fantastic

That wouldn’t be so bad per se… Many improvements in human conditions have been achieved by automating stuff and kicking people out. Think of the green revolution.
The problem is that the use case here is to massify the production of literal shit, like clickbaity articles on social media content, or ever larger volumes of advertisement. Those jobs don’t need to be replaced, they just need to go away for good.
Are we really going to use an AI to write motivation letters from a list of bullet points, to send it to an HR that will condense it into a list of bullet points using AI? Seriously?
Personally, I find myself in a bizarre situation.
I have some open source ““Ai”” solutions that I find really really nice and helpful e.g. the image search in Immich, or LanguageTool which bills itself as an AI spellchecker.
At the same time I am horrified at the stupidity underlying 99% of big tech AI stuff that gets wall street hot.
But… Isn’t that kind of the point? Slashing computational cost so that we can deploy that stuff wherever it’s needed without a tenfold increase in the world’s energy bill?
Whether we should do that at all is a very different question.
It was the Honda HRV, and it couldn’t hold a candle to the Multipla.
The Multipla had 6 full size seats that could all comfortably hold adults, plus the backseats where individually removable. I loaded a couch sideways in that car. Absolutely brilliant.
The middle seats on the HRV were significantly smaller, no comparison in terms of usefulness and versatility.
