Several NATO members have already okayed this for Ukraine and remain distinctly un-nuked. Plus, of course, the Ukrainians have been doing it with their domestically-produced gear for ages and also haven’t been nuked.

That fact that this is coming from a lemmynsfw.com account is beautiful

The feature itself is fine, the fact that it’s literally in between you and turning regular shuffle on and off is incredibly irritating

The language used seems very Abrahamic for a Hindu nationalist. Like consistently referring to a singular God usually referred to only as God. Is this some translation weirdness, or is it just normal language that’s surprising me because I’m not familiar with the context? I know that a lot of denominations of Hinduism hold one of the gods as being the primary one, but even that seems like it would be a fast way to alienate other denominations

Aviation is about a fortieth of the world’s total emissions, so while there are certainly bigger sectors to look at it’s still substantial enough that it’d be extremely helpful to fix it

For sure, I’m not disagreeing with the article. The problems raised by this report are not what the comment I was replying to raised, and I think that we should criticise these things for their actual problems.

The advantage of making fuels from plants isn’t in them burning cleaner, it’s in the fact that growing the plants takes carbon out of the atmosphere. That means that the carbon released upon burning them was carbon that was already recently in the atmosphere, as opposed to being deep underground like it was with fossil fuels

That doesn’t negate the issues of land use changes and similar, but in terms of plain old net carbon emissions they absolutely are better

I don’t think anyone is saying anything happened overnight. We’re talking a fifty-sixty year delay on the events mentioned above. But also, I would want to see some evidence that Africans on average weren’t aware of the legacy of colonialism up until the 2010s, because that seems like an unreasonably low estimation of education on the continent.

Besides that, Russia and China also saw declines throughout the 2010s from peaks in 2009/2010. That would suggest to me that something in the 2010s made Africans on average less approving of the world’s major powers in general

America was up above 80% in 2009/2010, so this change can’t be because either of those

Poland is one of the larger NATO militaries and would probably be leading the early parts of a NATO-Russia war. Poland will absolutely be targeted either way in the event of a nuclear war

Doesn’t Bilbo make actual coffee for the dwarves at the start of the Hobbit?

Niger, not Nigeria. Unless there’s another story that o have missed

Vet bills can get nasty in Europe too. They’re not covered by universal healthcare policies, unsurprisingly. But also, like… don’t be a dickhead about someone’s pet getting hurt? They already know it’s costing them a lot of money

how high processing power computers with AI/LLM’s can assist in a lab and/or hospital environment

This is an enormously broader scope than the situation I actually responded to, which was LLMs making diagnoses and then getting their work checked by a doctor

In the example you provided, you’re doing it by hand afterwards anyway. How is a doctor going to vet the work of the AI without examining the case in as much detail as they would have without the AI?

In the test here, it literally only handled text. Doctors can do that. And if you need a doctor to check its work in every case, it has saved zero hours of work for doctors.

Usually to do work that needs done but does not need the direct attention of the more skilled person. The assistant can do that work by themselves most of the time. In the example above, the assistant is doing all of the most challenging work and then the doctor is checking all of its work

If you need someone qualified to examine the case anyway, what’s the point of the AI?

It does still use less water than cow milk though, so if someone switches from cow milk to almond milk then it’s still a net improvement in terms of water usage

I would hope that the bar is higher than a statistically representative random sample of the entire population
