It still amazes me that Hurricane Helene hit Florida, Georgia and Carolina and those states still voted for a Climate Change Denier

Wow, I hadn’t seen that.

Here’s the study: https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.03735

There is a tsunami coming in the workplace, you can already buy a humanoid robot for $16k (1), which is less than the cost of an employee. When these robots can become actually useful (instead of marketing material) businesses who use labour will not think twice about swapping over. What do we do when unemployment goes up to 25%, 50% etc

I’ve seen more and more concern about the AMOC slowdown. Wouldn’t be good if that goes away. Talking a change of -10c in Europe

We should aim for 1.6 next, every fraction of a degree makes a difference

640k should be enough for anyone too

Instead we’ll build something that needs a subscription, and you can only get the filters from 1st party sources and the filters have a chip that requires you to swap them even if they are not full

Unless the set top box (apple or whoever) has an aerial/satellite /Cable input you still need to use the normal TV to watch standard channels, exposing you to the UI adverts.

I had considered buying an Apple TV, but my Samsung TV does everything I want just with stupid adverts, which I won’t be able to get away from if I have to swap sources to Apple TV and back to live TV

How do you stream TV or watch catch up?

Ford are wrong, and history will prove it.

Narrator: It was microplastics

More than 43% of international banking systems still rely on it

Red tie or Blue tie, thats the choice

Shocking how long it takes to move away from old technology. COBOL is another example

Ha! You are not wrong, but give it a few years and I can see AI being used in governments all over the world.
