fair point, this is all a bit nebulous, no?

Mozilla: Anthropic's Mythos found 271 security vulnerabilities in Firefox 150 CTO says new AI model is "every bit as capable" as world's best security researchers.

Well, if you read this, it seems Mozilla was not ignored.

More than 40% of ships globally transport fossil fuels. Nearly all of them run on fossil fuels too.

Harald Lesch bringt es auf den Punkt:

Viele sind “geschockt, dass wir demonstrieren müssen für den gesunden Menschenverstand, für erneuerbare Energien.”

Aber angesichts von Reiches fossiler Lobbypolitik müssen wir das tun - und das werden wir morgen bundesweit.

Erneuerbare Energien verteidigen!

Yea, it’s all true, but the video is far too long.

Who knows what the pressures various Iranian delegates perceive themselves under?
The Trumps probably also feels they are under pressure to look like massive winners/ are hardliners.
So I guess they are at an impasse or each having to look like dominating victor.

Duh? Really? They won't agree to a deal unless it is in their interest?
Deep.

Oh boy, you are not alone.
Most of MS stuff is becoming a bane of my computer existance.

I don't think this is a fair assessment. We don't know what Anthropic's plans for working with open source are. Like at all. So now people holler unfair - without knowing a thing. And there is a very good chance that large corps relying on some open source will work towards fixing it.

Heating oil prices are sky-rocketing around the world.

The Nordics have understood the risks of using fossil fuels for heating early on and transitioned away from heating oil almost entirely whilst phasing in heat pumps.

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented.

They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed.

That energy is all around us.

And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

This had me headbanging for 20 minutes.

I sooo love the song Global Warming by #Gojira.

France 🇫🇷 doubles electrification support to €10bn/year through 2030 — EVs, heat pumps, industry.
The reason?

The Strait of Hormuz crisis making fossil fuel dependence impossible to ignore.

Geopolitical shocks don’t just raise prices. They change what’s politically possible.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Australia uses about 30 billion litres of diesel per year.
About 35% of that, a little over 10 billion litres, is for mining.

About half of that is for coal mining.

So if Australia is worried about running out of diesel, I have a suggestion where to stop.

O…. kay?
That’s, well I am not sure what to make of this.

it’s hard to truly foresee what AI can be used for.
But people tend to underestimate the physical world, like production capacity or hands on age or child care. Have an AI clean your house. Or even money. You need a person, good luck if there is none.
Just because they are good at talking or coding…

You can't eat AI or money.
It may help you produce more food, or distribute it better, but only to a degree.

AI solves money problems, it is fundamentally the same fallacy you raise in the article.
Money is - just money. It's a proxy for power (or wealth if you want to distinguish them), but not a perfect one.

It is a common fallacy to assume that money = wealth, and more money means better economy.
Things such as houses or food or roads, etc are wealth.
If you own a nice house that is only "worth" $200k, but works perfectly fine, you are de facto wealthier than with a $600k ruin in an expensive spot.

I am however on the other hand for wood fire stoves as an add on. It may not be cost effective, but it's nice to have and if there is little sun or even a power outage - that thing will work.

It's like a record player and music streaming - no space for the intermediary tech.

Installing gas to a new house is STUPID. I cannot possibly see that the extra cost of the gas pipes meter and all that rubbish is not better spend on a heat pump.
The stupidity is mind boggling, why even put it into streets?

I am all for SIMPLIFYING any regulation...
(.... no ... = done.)

Sorry, time flies, make that 10 years.

I'd take it when they allow you to take it. I had my last sabbatical 8 years ago. At every intermediate occasion we had either COVID, a Vice Chancellor saying "NO to all sabbaticals" or something else.

I love n=1!

I don't think that's fair. Nobody needs to buy their oil or burn it.

And they are probably much less stressed about the increased oil price, too.
