Glyphit's truly amazing what LLMs can achieve. we now know it's possible to produce an html5 parsing library with nothing but the full source code of an existing html5 parsing library, all the source code of all other open source libraries ever, a meticulously maintained and extremely comprehensive test suite written by somebody else, 5 different models, a megawatt-hour of energy, a swimming pool full of water, and a month of spare time of an extremely senior engineer
Furbland's Very Cool Mastodon™@glyph it actually takes two pools, it uses one for cooling and creates so much heat it evaporates the other
Richard "RichiH" Hartmann@GroupNebula563 @glyph that's how cooling works, yes
Bornach@RichiH @GroupNebula563 @glyph
Why can't they do that with sea water then recondense that evaporated water as desalinated rain to provide drinking water to a community or irrigate a desert or something?

Will Bradley@GroupNebula563 @bornach @RichiH @glyph also it's just called desalination with extra steps, which is already an expensive process, and I think operating salty pipes carries its own batch of problems. It's already nerve-wracking enough running water around tons of computers (eventually every pipe will need to be replaced, or it'll break...)
