But where is the evidence to back up this 4D chess move? They have been failing to meet their nuclear roll out plans year after year? Why would they magically hit a ridiculously high goal of 24% by 2060?

What are you talking about? Renewables don't require fuels, unlike the fossil fuels that the US has invaded several countries for (most recently taking actions against another country just this month).

The difference that makes your statement misleading is that solar doesn’t pay for its fuel, the sun shines for free.

> but carbon sources have clearly remained competitive with batteries + solar That's because carbon sources are almost never made to pay for their externalities (i.e. pollution during energy generation).

Natured solved it in our eyes by doing non-uniform placements of rods and cones (rather than uniform fixed pattern) and then fixing it in “software”.

Proving even negligence may be hard, but I definitely think they are negligent. A) This is not the first public incident on people being led down dark and deranged paths by talking with their AI. B) They record and keep all chat logs, so

The issue I have with the paper is that it seems (based on my skimming) that they did not pick developers who were already versed with AI tooling. So they're comparing (experienced dev working in the way they're comfortable) vs (e

I'll start by saying that this seems irreverent to my previous comment. That being said, I half agree but I think we see things differently. Based on what I've seen, the "illiterate" are those who would have otherwise dr

This is such a tired argument. Could people write scientific code without python? If they can't, did they really do it in the first place? Could people write code without use after free bugs without using a GC'd language? If they

Why does it have jurisdiction? Israel has not ratified the Rome Treaty, and have stated they will not do so. Without that the ICC does not have legal jurisdiction over their actions.

by _aavaa_ 10mo ago
Let’s grant the worse case scenario argument against Israel’s actions. Their point still stands: neither Israel nor the USA recognize the authority of the ICC; they have not signed on to the treaty to be governed by it, and hence the ICC do

A highway is not a public good. It is a publicly subsidized good for private consumption. Can I use the highway if I don’t have a car? (Barely) Can I use it for anything non driving related (like a downtown street where lanes can be repurpo

But a tax is not targeted to where the usage occurs. Tolls allowed highways with more usage to get more revenue to save up for the more frequent maintenance.

Wasting it as a “clean” fuel is not clean though. There are emissions at: 1) production, 2) usage, and 3) the averted emissions due to this being used. As a fuel, the alternatives are electricity for land and biofuels for land and sea. But

Calling H2 clean energy is dumb. We currently use millions of tonnes of H2 every year, almost all of that being significantly more carbon intensive. Until that stuff has been replaced, using new H2 for “energy” is wasteful, stupid, or preda

Lithium is not that limited, current reserves are based on current exploration. More sources will be found and exploited as demand grows. And if you want an alternative, sodium batteries are already coming online.

> doesn't mean the concept doesn't exist. No, but it becomes a dubious concept when you define forests as a collection of only conifer trees and that deciduous trees don't count for the definition of a forest.

Why? If prices rise as a result of this, it will be because customers now have to pay for the pollution that their products cause, rather than get to use the atmosphere as a free sewer. Meanwhile Trump's tariffs are capricious and chan
