He mentions in his video that he has less than 500 subscribers, but right now it sits at almost 4000. Good on him for breaking it into the thousands with this video!

That makes sense. TIL

But that’s neither better nor worse than ICEs, not really the point we’re discussing

Because the grid is not 100% renewable, and even renewables have some carbon cost. That line of thought is what crypto bros and AI idiots often use to justify wasting energy. It’s always better to reduce our energy consumption.

Yes, and electric cars still produce lots of tire and brake dust. But to say they are not an improvement over ICE cars, is a lie.

That statement is just straight out false. Yes electric cars still represent a huge deal of energy needs for producing, but they are much, much more efficient at using energy than ICE cars. If I remember correctly it was something like 40% vs 90% energy efficiency? That’s why if you put several electric cars connected in a row, place them on tracks, externalize the power source, and you get the most efficient way of travelling - trains.

The north of Thailand is much less hot and humid. I actually prefer it.

10mbit fiber? That exists?

I just moved from Germany to Denmark and for the same price in finally getting gigabit 🥹 I feel like I travelled to the future.

Queen were known for mixing in some very goofy songs in between their best work.

A friend who is very politically active (think gaza, queer rights and other leftist topics) refuses to use apps other than WhatsApp and Instagram because using any other apps is too much app switching. Meta is literally destroying democracies, but ya gotta have your comfy apps!

If you think the average person understands watts, you live in a bubble, straight and simple. You have a very skewed notion of the average person.

How can you outlaw something a company in another conhtinent is doing? And specially when they are becoming better as disguising themselves as normal traffic? What will happen is that politicians will see this as another reason to push for everyone having their ID associated with their Internet traffic.

This sequece was definitely prepared to show those Chinese robots that they can dance without CGI.

I’ve stopped buying my rocket launching services from SpaceX long ago!

They become the janitors of the stuff cobbled together by AI. Generated code has existed for a long time. Generating code from scratch is not what software do. Understanding the business context and the whole code base is. There will certainly be lots of things that developers will do faster with AI, meaning less developers might be needed in the long term. But it’s more likely that developers will just be expected to develop faster and ship more things.

And then everyone stood up and clapped. The name of that student? Richard Feynman.

I’ll take a look, thanks.

The video does not give false hope. There is hope. We won’t escape disaster, but we have the power to reduce the magnitude of the disaster. Giving up is what’s deniers do to justify not changing anything, and is a very dangerous stance to take.

Actually, since 2020 the curve looks linear rather than exponential, which does match what he says on the video that we might have stopped increasing emissions year over year. Obviously this is not enough, but it is progress.
