I motivated my Cursor-colleagues to switch to tmux+nvim -- they don't use it all the time, but they enjoy the vibe. Claude is running on some tmux pans. Much nicer than VSCode!

I just read the Wikipedia page, and it does not seem to fit your analysis. They present the origin on the term, what it means, and then disclose that a consensus among scholars is to reject the term nowadays. They disclose also that some re

I am a CEO of a young French startup in France (bootstrapped to 6 employees) and I hold a PhD in AI. But overall I have limited knowledge about partnership breakdowns. I would recommend to compute the worth of your equity not based on a sta

Hard to say as the green transition is poorly defined. However, lack of transition is much easier to define and to evaluate. According to a recent French government report [1], the cost of non action is significantly higher than transitioni

No one is claiming that 100% of our final energy should come from biomass. In France, the research institute Negawatt has computed numbers when using biomass to fill the gaps when solar panel and wind turbines are not producing electricity.

Even the special report on 1.5 degrees is super scary. I stopped taking the plane and became vegetarian just after reading it in 2019.

A little known fact is that we likely already crossed 1.5C. Latest IPCC reports a likely cool down due to aerosols of 0.4C. But aerosols are a serious health issue (responsable of several millions premature deaths). And most of aerosols com

That's not correct. At a scale of a century, economic growth has been a zero sum game https://ourworldindata.org/economic-growth . Only recent abundance in cheap energy sources has allowed a HUGE economic boost.

Your point is invalid because it would require an exponential growth of the sun power (the derivative of an exponential is an exponential). While the sun power is exponential around a billion years, it is a constant over a year. So you woul

The GDP is itself exponential. A growth of +2% a year is an example of an exponential curve. Sure there are "limits to growth" (see Meadows et al.) but it's not clear whether those limits are reached yet.

Having waste on specific location on the ground is not equal to having waste on the atmosphere. There are so little constraints to landfills that we might not go to recycle wind blades in the future : https://www.sciencedirect.

How could no one mention the environmental issues?! So, I'll start. I believe that the loss of biodiversity is the most terrible threat to our societies. I believe it, because the loss is incredible fast (80% insect masses disappeared

That is not exactly true. You can't put electricity for all of the major sources of co2 consumption. For example, the chemistry for building cement is emitting co2. Also, steel requires so much heat than electricity is 10x more expensi

Why do you think it is good thing we waited so long? The carbon budget to not go over 1.5C is now pretty much used. Without aerosols, it is even likely that we have already overshoot 1.5C. Adaption and reduction would have been so much eas

Your points are fair and it is always a healthy situation to be suspicious of ominous news. At the same time, it is important to keep looking for answers to our misunderstanding on the climate change. The good news is that the IPCC did a re

Right but running a heat pump or burning biomass is also a preferable choice for heat production.

The purpose of making fuel out of thin air is to reduce the burden on logistics (how to transfer large amount of fuel on isolated locations?). However, their process obviously require a lot of energy (they did not provide any number but eve

By the way, with or without nuclear power, the FitFor55 proposal sounds completely unreasonable to me. 1. It projects a 35% increase of energy efficiency in 10 years. You might achieve it in virtual lifes, but not in the real world (ask a

No we can't deny that oil reserves are strongly diminishing [0]. It doesn't mean that one day we will completely stop using oil. But the cost of extraction will always be increasing, inducing a reduction of its consumption. [0] h

Other than that you might not be aware of the risks we'll face related to the climate change. The topic is surely complex and long to explain. You can dig into Wikipedia, but I think it is worth to read the last IPCC executive summary.

Um it's related to 2 threats: climate change and limited ressources. Overall oil reserves are diminishing, not because of climate activism, but because of physical laws. The Wikipedia page about oil peak is worth reading it. One way or

The area on which is cattle ranching is better than nothing is a very small portion of the world. People loves to bring this argument, but it is order of magnitude lower than area destroyed by cattle ranching (farms for feeding beefs lead t

Let's not forget that electricity represents only a third of total electricity consumption. China, by with its energy intensive industry (steel, cement), will remain de facto one of the largest greenhouse vases contributor

I know you'll hate what I say, but us, engineers, we are basically useless for the climate change. Maybe just harmful. We are trained to build a carbon intensive world. Our tools, our philosophy and our expectation require ssomehow mor

> Also, removing beef consumption would increase consumption of other foods so the emissions reduction wouldn't be as drastic. Well, since you have a factor between 10x (cereals) and 100x (legumes) in the CO2 emissions between beef

The planet is not a risk. The problem is first about human societies in the middle term perspective (before 2100). And then about human life in the long term (after 2100). But no the planet will always survive. It cares really little about
