Ah, one of those articles that starts with a few paragraphs related to the title, and then pivots to talk about the childhood of one of the people involved...

Civilization has had a habitable planet for the entirity of its run. When food and water are scarce, what good will metal do? Yeah, when food and water are scarce, rearing sheep will be hard too.

> Gold is a pretty, shiny rock and rich people like pretty, shiny things so they can display their superiority to no-gold-having proles. Just about everybody on the planet knows gold is highly valuable. But isn't this all based on b

Even China has more incentive than Switzerland... I guess the issue is even with tax credits, the super-rich can still splurge and buy the gas-guzzling SUVs, and it seems it's a country full of G-Wagens, with people with money who need

I've been using Gemini to plan a vacation (boo, hiss), it's surprisingly useful. It can look up flights (from Google Flights) or hotels (from Maps), has info about busy weeks in the destination, etc.. I guess "agentic browsin

I keep telling Windows 10 to delay these updates by 1 week each time... Curiously, Office apps have auto-save, so does IntelliJ, VSCode, and even Notepad nowadays.. "restore my work environment after a reboot" almost works, but so
