“One other standout from the survey was the degree to which #coders are considering the #EnvironmentalImpact of #software they write. Among younger devs, barely half said they considered the #EnergyCosts of running new code, but that rose to 80 percent of older #programmers. Nearly one in ten respondents admitted they didn’t know how much #energy their software requires.

"There's not a lot of incentive for AI coding tools to disclose what the #CarbonFootprint of these tools are," Spires said.

"More #SeniorEngineers understand the second and third effects of their code in how it relates to users and how it relates to their #community. And I think it's just a matter of time before #JuniorDevelopers start to understand those #ramifications a little bit further."

Older developers are down with the vibe coding vibe

A quotation from Oppenheimer

However, it is my judgment in these things that when you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it and you argue about what to do about it only after you have had your technical success. That is the way it was with the atomic bomb.

J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904-1967) American theoretical physicist, "Father of the Atomic Bomb" [Julius Robert Oppenheimer]
“In the matter of J. Robert Oppenheimer,” testimony transcript, US Atomic Energy Commission, Personnel Security Board (1954-04-13)

Trump’s definitions of "male" and "female" are nonsense science with staggering ramifications

"How can you so fully misunderstand basic human biology and then legislate about it?"

@Beeks once upon a time, mmm institutions, press, online, media - had #standards upon which they claimed to assiduously level set their reporting. Then - the internet of tubes, sm in all its flavors and curses, now it is all rush rush facts be damned - lead w vitriol - for the clicks - enrage - inflame. - lie. Corrections are a vestige of old "reporting". Afterall - no #ramifications. #BigTech rules and #chaos prevails. We all suffer as justice is buried under the rubble of hatred.

The sequel of meeting her became
a wonderful and exciting love life of
forty-six years and it's still g(r)owing

Life Bond - Sister of Aobram

@tanweerdar

Rarely has the world had
A period of peace, because
Men always want fight wars
Intended to reinforce theire
Fearlessness
In the face of imagined threats,
Chase the demons of their extremism
And ignore the need for peace,
The hunger of peoples to live
In harmony and respect.
Over these millennia of fighting
None have ever stopped to think,
So death inhabits every doorway.
