One of the many reinforcing feedbacks that contribute to making global warming such a difficult problem.

The article is about not having time to waste. It is not about the expectation of what might happen at the extreme. I understand it's easier to dismiss and point out an equivocatio…

No evidence? The extreme global average temperatures haven't happened in the entire history of human civilization, so the kind of evidence you might be expecting is tough to come b…

The report does include a >50% human mortality extreme category and the author of the article is referring to a separate report suggesting 3°C is much more likely than expected. I …

Yeah, I guess "self-defense militia" aligns more closely with some people's feelings than "violent gang" does. To each his own.

The only equating I did was to point out that either way you're stuck having to align with a group of people willing and ready to commit lethal violence with lethal weapons. Use wh…

So you're forced to join a gang and fight their rival gangs, or you form your own gang equipped with rifles and grenades ready to commit violence, so that you can fight against joi…

For Apple folks I guess, but would be nice to see a pointing stick. Trackpoint keyboards are becoming difficult to find and a suitable replacement would be an instant buy.

Same. I think there's a lot of AI prejudice influencing people's opinions on AI output. I wonder what would happen in a study where some art is critiqued by one group that is infor…

I found the OP AI videos much more entertaining than this camcorder silliness. It was interesting to see how literal the AI interpreted the lyrics, but then sometimes took the libe…

Well, rational or not, anybody that put a significant life savings into early TSLA and kept it there is retirement money rich now. Lots of rational people kept shorting, thinking s…

> there are easy ways to offload that to the rich. Oh? Do tell. We have plenty of centi-millionaire individuals in the world. Over ten thousand in the USA alone.

The "not really" aspect is so significant that it's barely a joke. It's more serious and thought provoking than a simple joke. I guess that's how good satire works. This in particu…

The text seems like it's there as a basic low effort placeholder. Maybe it's still a one person project and they don't want to spend their time crafting reasonable marketing fluff …
