No they can't, it's dirt cheap because the social and environmental consequences aren't accounted for. Both the US and EU could have kept producing with higher standards on their land, they chose not to for profit. China is a

Not rebuilding, but at least not building more of it. But this exact mindset is why the US can't be helped and will be the last one to go low on carbon. The whole culture is built exclusively on unlimited space and resources. Suburbia

It depends on what you mean by EVs really. There is an alternative to big electric individual cars, we've been building for 70 years car-centric urban areas for big vehicles doing 30km+ of commute every day. Good luck with a hellscape

That's an awesome website! I had never heard of Patrick O'Brian before looking at your maps, I'll give The Mauritius Command a read.

Everything you wrote is plain obvious to anyone who looked into the topic. But come on, we don't have to change anything about our consumption because we'll eventually reach some solar punk utopia? That's the comment I was re

Yes, but you're missing the point, I'm not debating that. Renewables aren't free, we should care about consumption just as much as production, and we don't know (yet) how to sustain the current consumption with renewable

Of course, but pretending consumption doesn't matter in that situation is just silly

You don't, pi with a codex subscription is great. Mario Zechner is on the opposite end of that AI hype spectrum. Until we can daily drive pi + qwen/glm/kimi.

I'm in the same boat, weirdly I can't find colleagues or friends who share my point of view. It's always the same "I can do higher level thinking now" or "no it can't do X". You nailed it with the out

Bottom line of all these comments here is "because women are too innocent / fragile / weak / ignorant". It's entirely unrelated to how men view them, of course.

Any source to share? I know most drug-related crimes get the death penalty but I haven't heard of potential innocents being routinely executed.

Learning a new language or tech has always been such a minor hurdle. The whole point of the current wave of AI is that there is nowhere to retreat to if your means of income depends solely on intellectual work. Learn a trade or train to be

You've lost Afghanistan and Vietnam. I know your comment was a pun, but I'd rather not miss an opportunity to tell someone on the internet that the US isn't the invincible superpower it thinks it is.

In no specific order: - Europe was first to dig up its fossil sources of energy, the bulk of it is long gone - Europeans got used to roughly clean air, soil and water, heavy industries are polluting - the embargo is forcing China to vertica

So is Zeiss, and probably a lot of others in TSMC's supply chain. It still looks like the bulk of the money is made by companies higher in the stack like NVidia and AWS.

The EU pouring even more billions in this would just have meant pouring billions on US tech. China is winning on all fronts at this game because of the embargo, they end up even more vertically integrated as a result of it.

Did the same two years ago, it's such an underrated skill. There's a good amount of complexity that goes into making an item without just following a pattern. I recommend going through the basics (Tock Custom has a nice energy [0]
