In case you want to enjoy it anyway, I've got a recommendation: there are quite a few mods for the game, including one which quadruples the time limit, essentially making the time between major events 4 times as long. In that configura

The reason why they aren't much of a problem for the grid is solar. Right now we already have the issue, that in some areas we're throwing away the majority of the produced electricity. Very common in e.g. southern germany. Conven

>Asthma looks to be mostly caused by gas stoves. Do you have a source for that? Because as far as I can see, asthma isn't _that_ less common in countries where gas stoves are barely used, such as germany. Still has like 60-70% of th

Raw milk _can_ be kind of okay under very specific circumstances. (But knowing the state american farms tend to be in regarding hygiene and controls, it's a ridiculous gamble.) 1) extremely closely controlled cow health 2) minimal stor

I won't go through everything, but just as an example: You are not mentioning the greenland situation - why? That's the really big one and the one that made the US much closer to "enemy" than "friend". After al

You did not offer me an alternative. Please don't move the goalposts. And I'm still not rooting _for_ them, I'm rooting for choosing their services above american ones for the time being. That's quite a different thing,

And then I'm of course going to root for getting rid of them. What alternative would you propose? Currently, there's no alternative I know of, either you rely on the US or on China or both. Me and many others are doing our best bu

The thing is - as a European, I can choose between plague and cholera. One has mostly been reliable, stayed peaceful towards us and is primarily concerned with their internal matters and the countries right next to it. They have long-term s

Where do you see actual alarmism? Please have a look at the older predictions and realize that it's actually significantly worse right now than those "alarmist" models predicted. e.g.: [0]: https://www.nature.com&#

There won't be any kind of international framework, because by now countries have learned that the US' word is pretty much worthless, similar to Russia's. They now know from experience, US-ratified treaties will only be honor

This feels like deliberately misunderstanding. Obviously the planet won't die. The current biodiversity and the civilization depending on it however might. In my country, streets are literally melting now, because they were never built

That looks interesting. I can't comment on the validity of the methodology of testing coding skill used here. But in general, I'd say we desperately need some way to track changes in our own skills caused by AI usage. However, thi

They don't just need healthy margins, they need to make back almost a trillion dollars in a couple of years. Comparing that to elastic search and redis doesn't make much sense. Hyperscalers work because it actually has value compa

You really don't seem to understand what a model is. A model is essentially an approximation of reality capable of making predictions. If those predictions get confirmed, the model will be accepted. Barely anybody with reasonable educa

He was right about the cost changes, which he predicted quite some time ago. People shouted at him that he was making it all up - yet it was correct. He was also right about AI-video and sora in particular being a fundamentally flawed idea.

The PR-thing was always openly communicated by him and is not some secret or gotcha. It's essentially "fleecing the boosters", which I fully approve of and do similarly myself. I'll gladly tell my customers all the most

We know that inference cost is very significant, as he shows for example in this piece. https://www.wheresyoured.at/oai_docs/ However, it needs to be said that he received those numbers. I personally have quite a few i

The problem here is looking at a substance in isolation, instead of comparatively. The actual question is: would drinking that stuff with sugar have caused more damage to health? And the answer will likely be yes. Because we _know_ just how

Not technically but practically. The decrees are effectively considered law by the executive. Yes, you'll likely win in court later on, but you'll lose your job, get sent to prison, have your bank accounts and vehicle seized, etc.
