Be interested, just a little bit, in what they're interested in. Like, you don't have to enjoy it, but show interest and they'll respond a lot more than if you make that a problem they have to choose over.

I mean I might put down the doc simply because I can come back to it anytime, while the moment won't. But what would spark things more is if she asks me something simple about what had my focus.

And this goes both ways. Paying attention to what your SO likes in any amount works so much better than making it something bad.

I concur, it was faster than a 777. Everything is made with characteristics that fit its purpose.

Looking back at the problem, you say just build more. A 777 carries about 100 tons. The total for shipping crude oil averages around 2.5 billion tons. The world's existing capacity for shipping oil is around 670 million, a rough number since there are various sizes of tankers. The 2000 777s (if that would even work) would replace one ship, not all those ships (thousands of them). You just don't understand the scale.

A lot changed over those decades, so grouping it all together seems a bit too broad.

Go ahead and email them, let them know they need to make the planes faster. I'm sure they'll appreciate your consulting advice. Contact Airbus too, they have the same issue.

Yeah, they're 2500 orders behind.

Boeing hasn't built that many yet since it first became available.

Liquid is heavy. Just comparing freight weight capacity, a 777 can carry around 100 tons, while a large freight ship carries 200,000 tons. That's a container ship, not an oil freighter, but you see the difference. We move things that can't take weeks to ship on a plane and pay more for it, while boat shipping is cheap if you can wait for it. And for oil there (usually) is a long queue of ships coming and going, so it doesn't matter about the time.

Imagine UBI and allowing robots and AI for the mundane tasks that are dangerous or boring. The jobs no one wants to work.

Dysfunctional society governed by foolishness rather than wisdom.

A number of great songs with the title too, with similar messages. Robert Plant, Grateful Dead, Bob Seger, World Party, The Doors.

Young adult in the 80-90s was peak. I think things would be different if we could take a glimpse into the future and realize how good we had it. There were problems, but most weren't predicaments yet. And it's definitely the era that we point back to and say "we didn't listen".

The download is the title and what everyone is latching onto, but few are seeing the other problems, like how it secretly installed that model without user acceptance, how it uses obscurity to hide the model, how it will reinstall if you just delete it (fortunately there's an uninstall process linked in the comments, does that include uninstalling Chrome?). And then how it pretends to be an extra AI thing on the browser but apparently will be used for any searching. Which is more energy use since it isn't local, it's just using the weights in storage.

It's all bad, even if it wasn't AI. It's what malware does.
