Sonori

Some people still go through life without posting or taking much on the public internet at all, instead socializing at work or bars. Incomprehensible, I know.

Well you were just suddenly teleported into the world, so I guess the question is, do you want to find out?

I mean despite the oil companies whining about how important they are oil represents what, 3.5 percent of Canada’s GDP?

I’m not exactly sure what someone working for a Murdoch outlet expected would happen.

From my understanding the ban is only on solely combustion powered vehicles, plug in hybrid and methane steam reformation created hydrogen will still be allowed and expected, so it’s not really a ban on fossil fuel cars, but rather just on the inherently carbon producing ones.

Worth noting that utility scale is always going to be cheaper overall than pushing costs onto the household scale, especially as more and more of the cost of a battery system is in the wiring and inverter rather than the cells themselves.

I’m actually kinda amazed that this overview video is only coming out now given the topics Asianometry primarily covers are semiconductors, water infrastructure projects, and economic/corporate histories. I assumed that this topic was the first video to be uploaded to the channel.

You can’t publicly share nudes from your imagination or pass them out to your friends with five minutes work, something you basically definitionallly have to be doing in order to get caught.

Revenge porn is absolutely a serious method of harassment that does routinely end in suicide even for adults, and it is absurd to compare making it so easy that kids can do it to someone they’ve never talked to in minutes to fantasizing about their classmates.

I think this article sums it up well. In short, when the primary actual problem most left wing voters have with him is the issue the media largely ignores in favor of manufactured controversies like his age or his son missing a checkbox in n a government form, it is absurd to think that any other candidate would not quickly have similar controversies made up.

To expand on this, we also have mapped it out and know that the amount of dark matter varies wildly between galaxies, with some having basically none while others have far more dark matter than observable matter in them. There’s also a lot of stuff with the early universe that only works if you have something with gravity that doesn’t otherwise interact significantly with matter.

As Angela Collier puts it, dark matter is not a theory, it is a set of observations.

In this case it would be because Labor agrees wholeheartedly with the Tory’s and is committed to continuing and expanding thier policies on culture war issues.

Mass Transit and walkable cities are a lot of things and has a lot of benefits that makes it worth expanding, but they are not an full climate solution or anything like a replacement for electric cars.

Neglecting that even in small very dense countries with cities built wholly around high quality mass transit still have freeways and millions of cars, the facts that it almost always takes over a decade of construction to establish a new light rail or metro line in north america, that it takes many such cycles to fully build out a network, and that it can take years to even establish a simple bus line, mean that it cannot be built fast enough to be relevant to anything under a 2.5 to 3 degrees warming senecio at best.

We quite similarly don’t have the carbon budget to keep emiting two tons of carbon dioxide per year per vehicle for another half century while we wait for the best case where effective 24/7 transit with fifteen minute headways is extended to even the most conservative small town with politicians elected on culture war issues like eliminating public transit. Not when we have a nearly drop in solution that can be scaled up to the point where it can have eliminated nearly all personal transit related carbon emissions in the time it takes to build two stages of a single metro line.

And I haven’t even touched on the infatuation north america has with diesel, battery electric, and even hydrogen buses over seeing trollybus or tram wires, or the sudden pushback and NIMBYism you see in even very blue cities in blue states like Los Angeles the second you start talking about connecting the rich white neighborhoods to the poor block ones, or that time the Koch brothers quashed a new light rail line a small North Carolina city had spent hundreds of millions working on to provent woke walkable cities, or the third of north amarica that doesn’t live in or near a city, or the infatuation that both the liberals and conservatives who control north america have with running public transport at a profit.

Again, this isn’t to say that mass transit isn’t worth it or that we shouldn’t be building a whole lot more of it than we currently are here in north america, just that it is not something we should be expecting in time to reach net zero.

Work from home is great and something that should be encouraged for a whole host of reasons, but it isn’t something that most jobs with an actual physical output or effect on the world can do.

So? OpenAI is to my knowledge open about incorporating conversations into future versions of GPT, and you can often get it to replay training data in full, so your effectively publishing your conversations to the open internet anyway. This feels more like saying that my lemmy comments are stored in plain text on my phone than any sort of security violation.

People are always treating Airbnbs and hotels like they fulfill the exact same role, but personally i’ve never had much luck in finding a hotel that offers a full kitchen for a reasonable rate, much less offered the sort of continuous interior space most Airbnbs can, and which is great if you tend to travel on tips with both your and extended family.

Short term rentals should definitely be more regulated, but it amazes me that condos, but rented and for poor people took so long to really become common.

But we could have an average of 684 9/11’s a hour, the actual number of car crashes per hour in the US, driven purely by the piloting skills of the average Amarican driver given command of an aircraft, who wouldn’t want to live in that future?

“A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision.”

Even more importantly when it comes to assessing properly, machine learning, now referred to as AI, has been continuealy shown to not just repeat the biases in its training data, but to significantly exaggerate them.

Given how significantly and explicitly race has been used to determine and guide so much property and neighborhood development in the training data, I do not look forward to seeing a system that is not only more racist than a post war city council choosing where to build new moterways but which is sold and treated as infallible by the humans operating and litigating it.

Given the deaths and disaster created by the Horizon Post Office Scandel, I also very much do not look forward to the widespread adoption of software which is inherently and provablly far less accurate, reliable, and auditable than the Horizon software. At least that could only ruin your life if you were a Postmaster and not just any member of the general public who isn’t rich enough to have your affairs handled by a human.

But hey, on the bright side, if Horizon set UK legal precedent than any person or property agent is fully and unequivocally legally liable for the output of any software they use, after the first few are found guilty for things the procedural text generator they used wrote people might decide its not worth the risk.

Labor continues to try and find ways to throw what must be one of the easiest elections in the world. Like seriously, why is Labor so desperate to adopt Tory practices, positions, and controversies when the biggest advantage they have right now in the mind of the average British voter is that they arn’t the Tories?

It took me a few comments to realize that we were taking about Effective Altruists and not Electronic Arts. I read EA was becoming a cult and yelling at wokeism for all its troubles, ya, that sounds about right.

According to the rules you can post anything related to the Chicago area, so it’s probably just that their arn’t enough people on lemmy for a singe city community to have much other than news posts. Be the change you want to see in the community.

My mind went to otter or beaver so it’s definitely not that easy even for us organics.
