There are numbers for these, you know. Biggest sources of carbon emissions are (1) burning fossil fuels and (2) land use change (converting natural ecosystems such as forests, grasslands and wetlands - to plantations, farmlands and concrete).
Most beneficial activity is .
In bee and ant societies, all decisions are made by adult workers through chemical voting. (Queens, larvae and drones don’t get a vote, though.)
environmental science class … the professor was a former president of Shell
Do they also invite Nazis to teach the elective in human rights?
I think it would be more correct to say that quality control in Chinese science is very poor. I have seen top quality research, and I have also seen crap that should not have been published at all. But the sheer quantity of output means that the next big discovery in \ will be from China.
OSTP is focused on removing regulations to science and tech bc they argue they are slowing us down in the AI race against China.
I don’t work on AI, but in my field I have seen the insane speed and scale of Chinese research. Now I’m from a developing country; the US can probably give better funding than we can, but I am inclined to agree that Chinese science does benefit from easier and better funding and a faster administrative process.
AI data in China is very poor likely bc of the lack of regulations
The big problem for AI research in China seems to be a shortage of high-end GPUs due to the trade wars. China is very strong in maths and comp sci, and they are finding workarounds, but it is still a pretty hard barrier.
Amazon/Bezos is probably getting some sweet federal kick backs
I think it’s more a threat against employees. The robots can be used as scabs.
which, until Jan. 2025, was one area that the U.S. had unquestionably dominated China
China had more scientists and papers well before this year. And China dominates particularly in fields like maths, computer science and manufacturing.
they are indeed going to try to replace scientists with robots
I can actually think of a lot of uses for robots in research. And, of course, there are a lot of robots in labs already; they just don’t look like humans.
It is possible that there exist a few Indians with the name Pajeet, but it is definitely not a common name here. I’ve never met a Pajeet.
I think there will be consequences for Israel’s crimes, just not today.
Possibly, but that won’t help the dead kids. The focus must be on stopping the genocide as quickly as possible. Finding and punishing the perps can wait.
*conical sun theory
In one of his Sherlock Holmes stories, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle makes a reference to the effect of being alone on someone like Newton versus someone like Beau Brummel. Unfortunately, it seems there are too few Newtons and too many Brummels in the world.
but 6nm without EUV?
I read elsewhere that 5nm was already done (in the lab, not on industrial levels), and they’re planning on 3nm by 2026.
The workaround seems to be to use particle accelerators instead of EUV machines. More expensive and with lower yield, but it’ll do the job.
That’s a bison, not a buffalo. Buffalo don’t have those humps.
127,0,0,1
No, India.
Afghanistan, Tajikistan and most of Kyrgyzstan are mountainous. The route is going just north of this range.
Just saw this on the news community. The linked article goes into some detail. I don’t know if these policies will achieve ‘full communism’ (or even if that would be a good thing), but education and health are good things for governments to focus on whichever way you look at it.
They violently suppressed protests (and quietly suppressed political opponents). I’m not saying they’re good people. I’m saying they’re the least bad option.
Face, meet leopard.
Good. Conscription is worse than murder; it is forcing people to give up their humanity.
Eh, it’s complicated. The Awami League protected women, workers and minorities (to some extent). Now it’ll be a three way fight between the Western-backed interim government, the army and the BNP (religious fundamentalists). Whoever wins, the people will suffer.
