I disagree with the conclusion of the article, although the contents do touch on some important points.
The article itself claims there aren’t enough resources for everyone to live a “developed country lifestyle”, which is connected to higher emissions per capita.
One way forward is to reduce the consumption. But the other way is to reduce the population so there is enough for everyone to be at least somewhat wasteful. Imo, the best would be both.
Because they are ok with other instances operating without censorship. Or with different ideological bias. Some people want their safe space. I do consider it generally harmful, but that’s how humans are - we want to discuss with like-minded people even if it limits the range of discussion.
On the balance, Lemmy existing is a benefit to humanity. You don’t have to talk to developers themselves.
No that’s the next level. I’m excited-to-buy-a-new-kitchen-appliance old.
We do need to reduce the human population. About 4-5 billion would be ideal.
On the negative side, we don’t know how to handle this situation of declining population. The entire human history is one of non-stop growth interrupted only by catastrophic pandemics, which were the only way the population dropped so far.
I’m not even American but I don’t see anything extremely out of place here. A 12h drive is doable in one day with a couple of rests. Assuming you stay for 2-3 nights at your destination.
If you mean going back right after the game, then hell no.
Musk is a narcissist who got very lucky in life. But still he is a human, bad human but relatable in the sense you understand his flaws.
Thiel is something else. Sociopath I guess. Dude is not human and doesn’t function according to any understandable human psychology
Airbnb. I used to think they were a perfect business. Saw a gap in the market, created a decent product, invested in their users (back in the day they would even send a photographer to take good photos of your property).
Unfortunately the consequences turned out to be awful.
the man who hit the family and never stopped, reportedly admitted drinking “a little” alcohol earlier in the day. He also admitted to being on painkillers and being partially blind in one eye
It’s a miracle only one person died
Looking up how to do something, as an improved stackoverflow. Especially if it provides sources in the answer.
Boilerplate unit tests. Yes, yes, I know - use parametrized test, but it’s often not practical.
Mass refactoring. This is tricky because you need to thoroughly review it, but it saves you annoying typing.
I’m sure there’s more, it’s far from useless. But you need to know what you want it to do and how to check if done correctly.
Hard dilemma … Do you guarantee that the table will not change dimensions in those 2 days?
Needs some planning, there might be ways to avoid measuring a table for a while.
Me too. Unfortunately their downfall doesn’t seem to be coming along at all…
A chess-specific algorithm beat a language model at chess. Shocking!
Try training a chess model. Actually I think it’s already been done, machines have been consistently better at chess than humans for a while now.
