I find the idea that all intelligent species have the same dominator instinct driving them to explore, exploit, and colonize to be flawed. Not even all humans have this instinct, it’s just that our western societies are all about domination so we grow up thinking it’s the norm.
Biochar (created in a retort) is how you sustainably sequester carbon for the long-term using trees (and similar biomass).
Nope, been thinking about what it would take to make one though.
So only the lucky unfit sperm destined to produce one who wears a red cap will be able to successfully fertilize the egg?
It’s time to return to human curated directories.
True, especially with some of the recent advancements, but of course politicians doing anything smart is where the impossiblity lies.
I’m sure people will hate me for saying this, but we should be phasing out unsustainable cities like Las Vegas, not giving them incentives to build up even more.
I live in Vegas (an am partly excited about the train because, well it’s a train and it will make it easier to visit family) and fully agree. This place is uninhabitable for 3 months out of the year without technological assistance (air conditioning). But I think this applies to many places both too hot and too cold. Even Southern California has no water without massive exploitation of the Colorado River. Our population is simply too much for the planet.
NBD (Network Block Device), it’s like a remote hard drive.
Bcachefs sounds awesome
racist tendency in the liberal environmentalist movement to blame ecological harm on the number of human bodies that exist
Concern about population is not racist. Can a racist use population to make racist claims? Sure, they do that with lots of things.
I don’t get why so many otherwise smart people have the thought terminating position that population is of no concern and any talk of it is racist.
What happened with human population and the green revolution, particularly the haber-bosch process has a name when it happens in nature, it’s called “eutrophication”.
Technically CD quality digital is superior, but the recording and mixing can have a lot to do with it. For example, it could be that an decades old Dark Side Of The Moon on vinyl (played on proper equipment) could sound better than a modern remastered CD with maximized loudness (See the “loudness wars”).
Ya, I think the key lesson is: Don’t get your health information from the news, your health is not their goal.
The job of CEO seems the far easier to replace with AI. A fairly basic algorithm with weighted goals and parameters (chosen by the board) + LLM + character avatar would probably perform better than most CEOs. Leave out the LLM if you want it to spout nonsense like this Amazon Cloud CEO.
