The world had subtlety agreed on a different standard (mico usb) when apple decided to do decide to switch to a proprietary one (lightning)

Granted, micro Usb is shit, but switching to a proprietary standard is worse as you force everyone to have something different.

Were lightning not proprietary, I could definitely see it overcomming micro usb everywhere

Nah, it’s 10/10 , you don’t count from 0 to 99, you do from 0 to 10, so that still 100% in binary

In 20 years: +2°C is unavoidable, +3°C would require the whole world to reduce the emissions by as much as the covid crisis did… Each year.

Even if the best political minds come to term with that and take actions, I don’t see us stopping. I don’t see us capping at 3, nor at 4. Nor at 6.

I would say that he is still incompetent after that, public image is important in the long term, and he completely ruined that.

He would have made far more by preserving it.

Woman names in my electro swing playlist…

I just love the vintage vibes they have

Swamp cooler, they do work, but raise the humidity, which might cause increased mold growth

Yeah, sad thing is we are already signed up for the next 20 years, as in even if we stopped emitting everything tomorrow, we would still have +2°C in 20 years…

And how realistic is stopping everything tomorow?

+3°C… we would need to have a new coronavirus crisis every years, not just a new one, but stack them on top, in terms of emissions. Ofc you can’t have more then one global confinement at a time (doesn’t make sense to double confine someone) so that wouldn’t even work.

We. Are. Fucked.

I usually put on some PBS Space Time, not quite podcast, but I often don’t look at the visuals when trying to sleep. The videos are short (about 15min) , but provided it’s between 23:30 and 00:30, it usually takes only about 5 minutes before I fall asleep.

Used to do audiobooks, but that would fail if I was too invested in the book…

No, I wanted to explain why I don’t believe in their existance, but I couldn’t write something without comming off as an asshole, so sorry.

Yeah, the direction commercial AI took is truely disheartening… Like, AI is a useful tool, but it’s been buisnesized where everyone puts AI is places where it shouldn’t be. Mostly because people don’t understand what they are doing so surely an AI model will…

The other day a dude wanted to dev an app with me about some random shit with an AI, except it could all be done with standard algorithms, and would probably perform much better too.

I looked at him and almost facepalmed on the spot…

Yes, but the important part is understanding the flaws of what you are standing up for.
