Yeah, it’s really good news and we should commend their efforts …. Well done …. But both are also still developing countries with vast populations needing huge additional energy for modernization. They deserve Benjamin more commendation BUT WE NEED TO DO OUR PART.
Define worse. I’m sure the developed countries will be much worse off in financial terms while developing will be far worse off in human misery.
Bangladesh already has its hands full with floods affecting millions, in addition to its other challenges. How could they cope about gets worse and more frequent every year? India already has serious water issues and huge population they already can’t handle well. Many hot areas risk regular temperatures above habitable levels. There’s no end to the serious impacts
Of course. I live in the us which isn’t afraid to spend ungodly amounts of money. I’m well above sea level and not in a flood plain. I have a well insulated house with air conditioning and can afford the electric bills. I may have to spend more money but I’ll get through without too much direct impact.
Then again, I’m not a sociopath. I see the impact of climate change right in front of my face and understand how it is getting worse. I also understand how it will affect the most those who can least afford it, both in my country and around the world
I also know we are historically the worst causer of climate change and are extremely deep in climate debt. Everyone trying to “what about China?” Is full of crap just making excuses for being a deplorable human being
Hey Greenland, JD Vance desperately wants you. this is an emergency: order slipcovers for all your sofas, now while you still can
No I don’t think Russia ever claimed to have principles to throw out. I don’t think anyone is surprised when they act imperialist and militarily aggressive.
Think of it like living next to a neighbor who is in the midst of a mental breakdown. All the gibberish isn’t something you should have to worry about but you really can’t predict. As an American who doesn’t believe that can ever happen, yes you need to take it seriously. You need to get protective services involved, jab a little Thorazine and get out the straitjackets
Mine does not act on pedestrians
I haven’t been in a situation to see if it reacts for bicycles. It seems to react to lights, rather than shapes so it’s possible
Yeah and I’ll counter-vote one of you.
I’m familiar with the use and the limitations of LLMs so I’m familiar with use cases where it adds value and where it should not be allowed
Realistically the biggest issue for consumers is privacy: most of the generally available LLMs hoover unprecedented quantities of personal data. But they don’t have to. There are choices that respect your data
There’s an underlying dystopian theme here that goes beyond LLMs and voice assistants where the technology for collecting personal data keeps getting more intrusive far beyond the nightmares of the general public. They have no idea how much they are losing and the harm it can do
Maybe. Not disagreeing but I’ve never seen data to support that, have you? Some people blame it on self-driving, some blame it on the higher performance, and yes the touch screen is plausible. But we need to know. That accident rate is too high to be guessing.
Unfortunately my experience supports all of the above
We need to go even farther, not go back.
Brighter headlights are better for safety to allow drivers to see more …… but clearly humans can’t be trusted with them. Active matrix headlights are the best answer.
I find it fascinating to drive with high beams on, but watch a dark spot in my headlights follow oncoming cars so I don’t blind them. Everyone should have them
While I haven’t compared recently, just a year or two ago, I was comparing usefulness of voice assistants with a co-worker. I experienced very accurate responses, whereas he found them useless. As someone speaking English with a heavy accent, the voice assistants could not understand him.
Voice assistants can be useful but there are still too many people who can’t use them
I also object to the hazard light button in my Tesla. While it’s great that it’s a physical buttons, it’s not tactile - I can’t use it without taking my eyes off the road
I hope regulators pay attention to technology this time instead of just reacting.
My car has controls with no physical buttons but I can control with voice assistant. Technically that means I can do it without taking my eyes off the road but it’s physical buttons are much better
Some of the worst people never went away, but somehow gained power
There are a lot of questionable ideas and practices that were gradually going away, until this administration brought forth all the worst in humanity and turned them into pawns in a personality cult. Since it actually started in office, the calendars been turning back the years to worse eras
Wow, lately I always assume the craziness is the US, but that’s insane
Don’t forget corruption. I’ll go further to say that many of the conspiracies are not about what else they can inflict on us, they don’t care and the conspiracy is how to loot or merchandise the position to enrich yourself and your buddies.
For the obvious example, blocking renewable energy and electric vehicles isn’t about “p*wning the libz”, destruction of the environment, or class warfare, but helping a few get richer and they don’t even think about the rest of us enough to create a conspiracy.
I also read claims the one-child limit became socially engrained. So even once they lifted it, it was not very socially acceptable
officials have already expanded maternity leave benefits and housing subsidies to encourage couples to have more children.
Seems like they’re trying multiple things. Meanwhile we’re over here trying to say middle school kids can be paid less than minimum wage, operate dangerous machinery and work late on school nights. If you can’t afford kids, might as well exploit them
wtf I hope they let Don jr. put billions of dollars into this scam then nationalize as soon as Drump is out of office. Never in the US have people so blatantly abused policy for personal enrichment- and I’m including Hawaii
