You'll have to repeat that after his nap
I was told we already won this war.
You don't need a side hustle
You need a revolution
Last round of major socio-political adjustments catching up with technological progress took 2 world wars, a cold war full of blody civil and proxy wars, a large part of the world crushed under totalitarian rule of all colors, fascist, communist, apartheid. I hope we pay a little less this time.
'The stakes are particularly high for the energy sector, where the reliance on solar photovoltaic systems has collided head-on with the physics of atmospheric aerosols.
The most immediate and quantifiable impact of this atmospheric blockade is the sharp decline in solar energy output.'
'What began as a meteorological curiosity in North Africa has rapidly evolved into a significant economic and infrastructure challenge, forcing European energy regulators to confront the vulnerability of an increasingly fragile renewable energy network.'

But there is also lack of cheap, affordable electric vehicles. The auto manufacturers go for large SUV's because this is where the profit is.
I would never want electric (or combustion) SUV. But if I lived somewhere rural a thing like that, for 7000 euro, would meet my motoring needs sufficiently:
'Centuries of net-negative emissions required…
Two new studies conclude that stabilizing long-term climate risks will require sustained net-negative (CO₂) emissions for centuries. …the research converges on a consistent message: reaching net zero is not enough.'

Da versucht man den Leuten einzureden, dass man sich unabhängig von US-Tech-Firmen machen sollte, und dann hast du dutzende Firmen, die gerade ihe E-Mails auf Microsoft365 umstellen und ihre eigenen Mailserver aufgeben.

RIP to everyone killed by the gods for their hubris but I'm different. and better. maybe even better than the gods
Literally this meme but for International Relations.
You know what I think they're missing wrt developing a theory of mind for other people? Empathy. Or maybe it's the theory of mind that comes first, and then the empathy? In either case I think seeing empathy as a weakness impedes the process.
It's like all racists - not just the MAGA ones - have a total lack of theory of mind for other people, especially for those of other ethnicities. bsky.app/profile/fain...
Simply because, it’s their job, along with security services, to cover up the crimes of the wealthy.
The drum that really need to get beaten is that the single biggest blocking point for Iran breaking out was that the supreme leader was sincerely religiously opposed to nuclear weapons, which is why we, very smartly (/s) blew him up

The crazy heads of state blowing up each others fossil fuel assets would be a fitting end to modernity.
Not tagging or linking to avoid a dogpile, but "the Torment Nexus is just mirroring societal pathologies in micro and we should address them in macro" arguments really need to reckon with the Torment *also making those pathologies worse in macro and intentionally undermining societal solutions*
Cartoon von Perscheid. Rita ist als Blume verkleidet, Kurt hängt im Bienenkostüm von der Decke. Das Kind steht in der Tür und wundert sich.

Der Umstand, dass Rita und Kurt ihren Sohn bisher nicht aufgeklärt hatten, brachte sie nun in Erklärungsnot.

This is my favorite so far.
Seriously yall, as someone who still hangs around on the other site for work purposes, I don't think you understand the truly galaxy brained shit that is being cooked up in response to the war with Iran.
The tool, called HODIO (Spanish for Footprint of Hatred and Polarisation), will track the presence, spread, and impact of online hate speech as part of a broader oversight of SM platforms.
Results will be made public to show how platforms respond to harmful content.
Iran is likely thinking that they not only want to survive—which is practically a win for a relatively weaker power attacked by a stronger one—but also that they want to impose enough costs on enough parties that the US assault becomes a cautionary tale.
Trump started something he can’t control.
As for how fast can US draw from SPR, it's maximum nominal rate of 4.4 mb per day, with oil reaching market in about 13 days from a presidential decision
It's 400mb total (the US release is included into that).
SPR release is not meant to replace barrel for barrel Hormuz deficit.
It's to calm panic & prevent hoarding, compress extreme backwardation and buy time for other more durable solutions (rerouting, demand adjustment, mil/pol settlement)
I ask because I assume Iran can do math as well as me and if they know 'global economic catastrophe in roughly 40 days' that's a big incentive to hold out for 41 days if they can.
And I suspect they can.
LLMs are a pain in the arse for real doctors.
"Rectal garlic insertion for immune support...
A doctor who's unsure will pause, hedge, order another test. An LLM delivers the wrong answer with the exact same confidence as the right one."
