By this measure agriculture is around 4% of the global GDP, so losing it entirely should not be an issue. The latest IPCC AR6 report paints a picture of a barely habitable planet by 2100. https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6&

With Chromium 95 and Nvidia 470.74 driver for me hardware acceleration is enabled for canvas, and can be enabled for rasterization. For video decode it can be enabled, but it's VA-API, which is not supported by Nvidia. Vulkan can be en

The global power consumption is around 25000 terawatt hours, so you would need to operate around 5000 nuclear power stations to cover that. You would need 5000 locations, but then you would run out of uranium and exotic metals in a few yea

The source of the problem is Tesla's misleading marketing about self-driving when the technology is in it's infancy and decades away from safely reaching high automation. It's a minor miracle that there are still politicians

Because keyboards are for typing. They meant to have haptic and not visual feedback, otherwise you need to pay attention to both the keyboard and the screen. That's like a context switch for your brain. It breaks your flow.

Ask Piql to archive it, they are the company behind the Arctic World Archive. If the website must be available on the internet than you are mistaken, the planet is becoming inhabitable and fast. This is a scientific fact. A civilization as

The trap or myth of meritocracy is well-documented, it destroys itself rather fast. Meritocracy is transient in nature, merit always becomes a synonym for wealth and social class, at which point you are back to oligarchy. Competition is usu

To clarify Microsoft will require OEMs to include a front-facing camera in new portable devices starting in 2023 if they want to be certified as Windows 11 compatible. Windows 11 itself won't require a front-facing camera.

It's just another asset class. In this late stage of capitalism there are only perpetually poor and rich people left, and this kind of tacky and vacuous abstract commodified scarcity has an appeal. Owning everything is a popular sport

Sure, the project is called Endpipe and it's an attempt to create a privacy-preserving cloud database. The idea is a Google Cloud Firestore alternative that works offline and synchronizes in real-time, but without the data being access

The problem with ProtonMail is that they are convincing people that email can be secure. It could be between ProtonMail addresses, but not with the email protocol and OpenPGP. It would take a lot more work. Signal on the other hand, it&#x27

Subjective experiences seem mystical to us, because how could physics could cause something like this. One way to understand it is that we as experiencing subjects are made of nodes that can make things up and we have no choice but to belie

Blowing minds is a cheap trick, cult leaders do it, politicans do it. These books are exciting, it's like finding out that Harry Potter is real, but it's all intellectually lazy. There are more plot holes than plot in these books.

It was known 15 years ago that sensors will be the next big thing, but Kinect did not make it. It was later repurposed as an AI sensor. Sensors are more important than ever, but they became technological details as opposed to selling points

Politicians enjoy taking advantage of this particular fallacy. The only antidote is an education system that teaches you to think critically, not fall for these cognitive shortcuts.
