Google's ex-CEO Eric Schmidt talks about how his whole early life was basically coding, and how AI just wiped it out.
He says in his 20s all he wanted to do was write programs, all the way through college and grad school, and that this is what built his career.
But now, every single thing he learned back then can be done by AI.
"Each and every one of you has a supercomputer and superprogrammer in your pocket."

"The most important thing in the next 3-4 years is data centers in space.
In every way, data centers in space, from a first principles perspective, are superior to data centers on earth.
In space, you can keep a satellite in the sun 24 hours a day. The sun is 30% more intense, which results in six times more irradiance than on Earth. So you don't need a battery.
The cooling in these data centers is incredibly complicated. Space cooling is free. You just put a radiator on the dark side of the satellite.
The only thing faster than a laser going through a fiber optic cable is a laser going through absolute vacuum. Link satellites with lasers, and you have a faster and more coherent network than any data center on Earth."
@billburr Same reason there's wind on earth: atmosphere+atmospheric heating from above (sun) + rising heat from the surface of the planet + rotation + heat differentials between latitudes.

@Dockteckfans Hi. I just got a dockteck 7 port hub for my Surface Pro 8. It keeps connecting and disconnecting. I give it power, but it doesn't help. Is this related to Windows 11, per chance? It's unusable the way it is.
