I know it's ludicrously privileged for somebody in tech like me to think the grass is greener on the other side, because that's just not the reality of the situation, economically or otherwise.
BUT
Today a guy came by our house to give us a quote on a new fence, and when it crossed my mind that he has no idea what's going on in tech and will absolutely never need to hop on a video call, or know a single damn thing about AI, I was just a little bit envious.

I hope someday we figure out how to make learning to walk more efficient. You know, why should small children have to struggle so hard to learn these basic skills? There has to be an easier way, then kids could skip past this stuff to get a head start to unlocking value in their educations. Maybe an app on a phone connected to some generative AI? :thonking:

Oakland is now first in the US to have a 100% electric school bus fleet – and it’s V2G.
The 100% electric school bus fleet is not only emissions-free but also plays a critical dual role as a Virtual Power Plant (VPP), giving 2.1 gigawatt hours (GWh) of energy back to the power grid at scale annually.

- 21. On or about December 27, 2022, ΑΝΤON PERAIRE-BUENO and JAMES PERAIRE-BUENO, the defendants, created and shared a document (the "Exploit Plan"), which outlined a four-step plan to successfully execute the Exploit. In particular, the defendants identified four stages-"1. The Bait," "2. Unblinding the Block," "3. The Search," and "4. The Propagation." In the months that followed, the defendants followed each stage as outlined in their Exploit Plan. (remote)

*This* is why corporate shills and pro-monopolists prefer satellite to municipal fiber. Sure, it's orders of magnitude slower than fiber. Sure, it costs subscribers far more. Sure, it's less reliable. But boy oh *boy* is it profitable.
