Finland did the right thing with nuclear. We have an election in Sweden tomorrow. The current government have started securing investments in clean energy (i.e nuclear energy). Some opposition parties, including the "greens" (MP)

Even if you support "helping struggling people" to pay their groceries. There are already programs for this such as SNAP. Basically means-tested programs that try to benefit people in need. There are many ways to do redistribution

Take the case of "city owned stores" to "combat food price inflation". Well. The city does not actually produce food. Stores get their produce from wholesalers. This is where the "city stores" will get them as

Wow... I am currently using bun, but may have to switch. I can't see how this can possibly turn out well in the long run...

I honestly think it breaks down. Because you and the LLM start speaking different languages. So when you try to direct future work, you have to contend with the "pluggable policies in every seam" and be aware of the "reduced

I don't get it. The skills and instruction try to make the answer more machine like on purpose. Not humanising it... People want the terse, matter-of-fact output. Not the conversational chatty verbose and bloated nonsense with gray wor

You are simply wrong. The whole of life, plants and animals - depend on the "cutsy" parts. Basic atmospheric science.

Sorry I thought my point was clear. Grazing animals are part of a cycle. Any methane from digestion is broken down in the atmosphere and bound again to plant life and recycled. This is vastly different from drilling rock and letting out new

Meat, and red meat, is truly a miracle food. Dense in nutrients, satiating and of course tasty. Nature needs animals as well. In fact it is essential. Agricultural reform or innovation is certainly an avenue to explore; but this strange obs

The headline should state this is about electricity generation. If you compare e.g. with a country like Sweden or France they have been free from fossil fuels for electricity since the build outs in the 70s-80s. Also Germany is an importer

Indeed. Rather than deal with it, there will just be some shell company in non EU they can export to and have it destroyed there... Though that will obviously incur a larger cost than today.

Most everyone would love to see more work on stopping child sexual abuse. But this is the ultimate "grant me dictatorial powers so I can do good" play. Rather than narrow and specific - it's a broad based law that suddenly to

I recently took over an old house and plot of land not used for ~20 years. In that time, the main lawn is still grass dominated and fairly easy to cut. But many areas have become completely swamped with different bushes and willow. I cut it

There is no prosperity without stable and cheap energy. Great news, just hoping the people understand this as well.

It makes sense that you need the best engineers to do the labelling. But the story very much sounds like a panic move. "Things are going so fast and we need to catch up. Yesterday." But you still have humans working for you. I dou

"In its IPO filing, the company had said Cursor's access to developers' data, including coding requests and design decisions, could help improve its AI models such as Grok." This seems to be the key.. Data is expensive

I tried visiting the site but the design was incredibly annoying. I take it this was some kind of joke.

Apple still tries to integrate its own software deep into the phone and hope to get market share that way. I am really glad someone is putting a stop to this behaviour. Regardless if it is Microsoft, Apple or someone else trying to force us

Not going to critique this survey. Must have taken a lot of time and required a lot of patience. Great work! I think it will be up to some group in academia to make a real full blown study across several repositories. There must be tons to

I see the point. But honestly I am more concerned about having to constantly fight to turn off all permission allowances every time I install an app. And the moment I have some faith and trust an app that I deem important, I get promotional

I don't see many comments here about the actual topic. Such is the case with anything Trump related. Needless to say, though I consider Krugman to have failed at practically every prediction he made in his NYT columns, his point is ver

The dirty secret is of course that the Danish power grid would be totally unusable without the base power provided from Sweden and Norway. They almost suffered a catastrophic shutdown a year or two ago and the situation has not improved

I have been using Windows on my laptop and been annoyed by how performance have really degraded. RAM consumption on startup is 50% (of 16Gi). I asked claude to help me remove bloat and was horrified by all the different background services

The main issue as I see it is that we need food security in the EU. Especially high quality nutrious dense food like beef. And EU farmers are subject to a ridiculous number of regulations and costs. The thing is, these may very well be good

You are right. Not sure where I read it but it was clearly wrong. Still, I think the grid is very vulnerable with that amount of weather-based energy. If there can be enough batteries to sink all that power generated and have it during even

Regarding the IEA report; I think you didn't read it carefully enough. In the near term there is no supply deficit (although current price development would seem to beg to differ) - but the point was in an electrification scenario ther

We practically don't see the sun in northern Europe during winter. And yes, the wind might not blow either. I consider 2 weeks of supply a bare minimum.
