you know: you're the work horse of this conversation right now. you add nothing of value to it.

there are other factors at play like AMOC halting and breakdown of habitats that are codependent with other habitats. you dont get to pick and choose regions since earth is a huge …

the question is how europe and the us will manage degrowth. atm europe is ahead while the us is acting like a spoilt child calling for more cars and ac.

This polemic is quite sad. Wars are only cool in movies. And - apparently - in US politics. The reason the EU shirks talking about war is because it actually lived through it. And …

It is often hard to put an economic value on research in general. That makes the whole "labor market" highly different from the rest of the world.

LLMs conduct strikes on children which a human may not have done. so wow, you got a frontier model but you lost something there in the process.

> Even if it were true it's not the taxpayers responsibility to import all the degenerate murderers and rapists from all over the world in the hopes of civilizing them. That's just…

1. As long as these are measured they are not a problem: Switzerland - and most of the EU countries - do simply not have a problem with poor people leeching the welfare systems, bu…

From a logical standpoint there really is only one rational step you can take: you have to leave because you are a migrant. And that's exactly where all of this thinking falls apar…

This does not make sense. How can you differentiate between "good" migrants (apparently you yourself) and "bad" ones? Shouldn't you remove yourself because you're a migrant to incr…

^-- This! There are so many other leavers to pull than this weird and random initiative: stop urban sprawl, extend public transport, curb automobile traffic, extend public spaces, …

Technology is not onthological. Meaning it's not a means for itself but it's given meaning and power by shaping and using it. We do not have to tame technologies, we have to tame r…

Europe is a lot more diversified than the US (subtract the whole AI / internet tech sector and US treasure bonds and you get a lot less volume than Europe) and spends more in socia…

As I said below: Cozy small time agriculture in the west is a small part of your general food supply. The rest is in places you do not want to live and is called monoculture. A hug…

Cozy small time agriculture in the west is a small part of your general food supply. The rest is in places you do not want to live and is called monoculture. All "raw materials" yo…

Thanks for your thorough response, I appreciate it. My point was less that "everything comes from the city" but that living in the countryside has massive externalities that get de…

You know that all that "nature" you desire is synthetic? Living in rural areas without actually working there is as far from a natural state as it can be: the whole lifestyle is ba…

Great article, most of all the latter parts about what autopoiesis means regarding computers.

I mostly agree. In a technological society jobs and money are kind of virtual. The productivity gained by technology in the last 150 years made lots of work redundant and we've bee…

Look up on fish and the consequences of microplastics on water animals. From starvation to sex change, microplastics wreak havoc there. Just because you as a single consumer may no…

> This MSN "article" seems oddly out of place on HN. Maybe there's something sinister going on: I suspect the shoe sole industry what with these huge foots and all. It'd make sense…

Maybe it's like that. But they're drunk. Which means they are very supportive but quite unreliable and have a short memory. I've caught Claude making the gravest anti pattern mista…

This is how you start something and get progress. More lanes on the highway are not progress.

so fossil fuel is too fucking cheap. this is arbitrage with our environment, it fucks me up.
