At last count, we had 8 billion people on the planet. I think it’ll be fine if some people do space while others work on oceans. Must admit this is the most overused excuse I’ve ever heard in my life. “Hey, let’s all work on this one proble

That means we squandered almost 10,000 years of human history before humans became an advanced civilization. We could have invented flight, discovered antibiotics, etc five thousand years ago.

How much faster is the M4 vs the M2 for Swift development? I’d probably get 32GB. I started buying 16GB Macs in 2013. The extra RAM will keep any Mac useful for a few extra years. In fact, my 2013 Intel MB Pro would be still be great if I

500,000 chargers queued up and 17 were built in 3 years. It’s a bit surprising people are hearing this story for the first time. It’s been thrown around for the past year. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solutions&#x2

The stock has blown up. It has more than doubled for me. Almost tripled. It’s quite expensive now. I would encourage you to do your own research. For some reason, HN has very little depth in stock market understanding. HN passed on META at

Absolutely not. No way we make Net Zero by 2050. People need to stop reading feel good stories and look at the numbers globally. Update: Global CO2 emissions increase almost every year https://www.statista.com/statistics&

What’s the point of human controlled “autonomous” robots? It’s certainly misleading investors on the state of progress.

Would you believe that’s not the converse of what I said? What you’re arguing is an extreme argument then trying to claim it’s the opposite. A common tactic.

Yeah, the human race is truly stupid. I can’t believe we’re still having these conversations. Warnings went on cigarettes in 1964. I was born in 1966. I’ve watched people develop COPD, etc Someone in the family needing oxygen in their 50s

Yes, someone always says this. Health span is the term. Maybe we can all use the term and skip this discussion https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/what-is-health-span

Completely missing our emissions goals will change this attitude.

Yeah, people wanted to greatly reduce CO2 emissions. The renewable crowd said we didn’t need it. Now we’re way behind in reducing emissions. All these stories about AI needing electricity. Where’s the renewable solution?

That’s sort of entirely different discussion. My point was we are building 500,000 additional chargers. I’m sure we’ll get there. Once done, it should significantly increase EV adoption.

There is a large government push to build out the charging network. “Biden’s $7.5 billion investment in EV charging has only produced 7 stations in two years” https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solutions/2024/0

40 years ago Carl Sagan said to stop burning coal and make sure India and China don’t use all their reserves. Imagine how much more time we would have if we’d have listened. https://youtu.be/Wp-WiNXH6hI?si=Fj1DaPEimOwwEvr9
