Indeed, it’s to be expected, that the climatic regions best-suited to such agriculture will move, generally polewards. So there may be potentially new ‘breadbaskets’ - but mainly in Russia and Canada, if growing season starts earlier. But 40% of whea and maize, is not 40% of food - there are other (new) crops, and we could also adapt diets, maybe we don’t need so much wheat and maize (leading anyway to obesity?). In the tropics it all depends on water management, need to store more.
I’ve been using zed for nearly a year now, it works well, quietly.
I don’t need AI, I have a complex project written in scala, whose compiler and tools (‘metals’) are already intelligent and much more logical than LLMs, many context-relevant suggestions pop up, and when it compiles it generally just works.
However I do wonder about the longterm business model of Zed without AI, and in the current geopolitical context I’d be interested in a european or global alternative.
