Then, when I went to my email to reset the password to my Reddit account, Google decided that my password was not enough and that I needed to enter my phone number and receive a text message, as well.

I know that I multi-boot my computer with multiple Linux distros and sometimes Windows, and I sometimes use a virtual machine, and I sometimes use browser hardening about:config settings and privacy extensions and sometimes not, and I sometimes use Helium and sometimes Firefox, and I sometimes connect from a public WiFi network, and sometimes not.

However, this is absurd. If I have the password, then that should be enough. It is a Reddit account, not a bank account.

Most AI is done with Python, yet according to the Wikipedia page about Python, the reference implementation of Python typically uses approximately 2.4 times as much RAM as an equivalent C program would consume. Why don't people switch to using C, which uses less RAM? (Wikipedia cites a peer-reviewed paper from the Proceedings of the 10th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Software Language Engineering)

Furthermore, most of the energy usage of AI is used cooling it. What about if the datacenters moved to cooler climates, instead of being built in hot deserts?
