That would be currently possible with a combination of AI and standard computing.
You don't need a clever algorithm for #3. You'll likely only have 4-5 potential targets. You can brute force that in reasonable time.
True enough.
Suddenly carbon footprint x10
Frankly we can’t do shit anymore without fusion. We just have to grit our teeth and hope it comes sooner rather than later or maybe… maybe develop in more intricate ways than just more energy per monkey
We can get a whole Egypt's worth of energy back if we stop wasting it with crypto, so not all is lost
Bitcoin was a mistake.
I saw that there was a startup trying to make deep, location-agnostic geothermal drilling a thing. Sounds promising if it works.
Do you understand how hard that is? Most websites do not just let you scrape them entirely because they think you're a competitor. Web scraping involves staying one step ahead of each site. You might as well just pick a site and buy most things there.
Plus you can just have everything delivered. It's easier and you can get access to sales.
Yes, I do indeed, for example the AutoTL;DR bot you might have seen around Lemmy (that does web scraping) is mine.
Sure, you can do an entirely different thing than I was talking about, but then you're replying to something entirely else, aren't you? This was a reaction to a post in the OP which doesn't talk about getting everything delivered.
There are 3rd party APIs that handle scraping.... Eg Red circle API. Problem is they don't really have produce and everything up to date.
