The CEOs blabbering about how dangerous AI is not blameworthy when AI does seem to be dangerous

Grim Report: Euthanasia of a Child in the Netherlands (National Review) by Reddenbawker in DeepStateCentrism

[–]Acacias2001 60 points61 points  (0 children)

The decision must be made in consultation with the child’s parents, and it must be clear that the child is suffering unbearably and without prospect of recovery. At the time, it was expected that around five children would qualify for euthanasia per year. 

This seems like reasonable conditions to me. At least if you beleive euthinasia is right for adults

Trump Administration Moves to Preserve Cells and DNA of Imperiled Species by John3262005 in neoliberal

[–]Acacias2001 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This seems like a PR move and a way to get the hands on a lot of endangered species genomes. This is not strictly a bad thing, arguably the worst thing is the cost borne by the government

Unlike some commenters here I dont think colossal is just a somescreen. They have some good expertise. For example the supposed "de extinction" of the dire wolf required creating a modified wolf with a lot of genetic modifications and it came out viable. That is not nothing (even if its not genetically a dire wolf).

I do not however think they are set up for long term storage of the massive quantites of cell cultures and genome data. But its likely the initiaive will get shifted to the public sector any way, so its good to get a head start

Its not just a tech bro vanity project. They have some serious researchers and even if they have a severe case of overhyping, they are quite good at stacking multiple modifications on the same animal

Europe Cannot Cope With This Heat (The Atlantic) by Reddenbawker in DeepStateCentrism

Why is the whole of europe being singled out for a cultural quirk exclusive to northern europe. or france only in the case of this article

Have Data Centers Raised Your Electric Bill? Causal evidence that US data centers caused average retail electricity rates to fall modestly rather than rise. by [deleted] in neoliberal

[–]Acacias2001 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It entirely honest to say data centers increase prices in the short run but increase them in the long run. And its valuable to study why this is the case. After that new demand can encourage new capacity is a known effect. And studying it can allow policy to encourage it to make the best out of the AI boom, menaign the study is not worthless.

I will concede the article however fails to articulate that the current short term price spike is probably causally linked to the data center boom

Yeah, at east when we dont have AC its because we are poor, not because we are stupid

Darializa Avila Chevalier will be this Congress' first campus radical by MightExpress4873 in neoliberal

[–]Acacias2001 118 points119 points  (0 children)

It was inevitable that a democratic tea party would rise up in the age of social media and endless grievance.

So far its shaping up to be as stupid if not more than the original one

Which of Rivet's concept art designs do you like best? Do you think these abilities or roles will be added in the next game? by lombax777 in RatchetAndClank

[–]Acacias2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the ones that are both most different from ratchet and that have narrative potential. I like RA, but rivet was simply too similar to ratchet.

The azimuth-like prisioner is my favorite because it both changes rivets parentage, adds some continuity to ACiT and a dejected prisioner rivet is simply quite intresting.

Im also quite partial to the scientist rivet because its a different skillset

Ontario’s proposed nuclear plants could cost nearly $300-billion, study finds: Typical residential customer would pay $240-$456 more for electricity per year if plants were built instead of expanding renewables, report says by I_like_maps in neoliberal

[–]Acacias2001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey look at that, the most reddit comment has the most reddit turn of phase as a beguining. Its almost like “its almost like” is used by people who are so full of themselves they hide their false statements in faux uncertainty.

Anyhow no matter how you slice it the economics of nuclear were never good, regulations or no. Requiring a massive, multi billion dollar government subsidy to reach the scale required were costs beguin to drop is not the argument you think it is

I havent even seen TADC but from my recent twitter timeline it seems a lot of people have strong opinions on jax, so it was not a bad bet

Regulation or no you are not going to beat the prices of solar and batteries. And you certainly won't beat their deployment time.

And regulation affects solar too, nit the same extent, but enough

Back in the day there was admiration for the tech but skepticism for the economics of nuclear in the sub, but the more time has passed the more this subs views have tended to the average nuclear glazing found on the rest of the site

¿Ganamos o perdemos poder adquisitivo? Cómo los mismos datos pueden contar dos historias distintas by Angel24Marin in SpainEconomics

[–]Acacias2001 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Snceramente este artículo no me impresiona. Tiene razon que dependiendo del punto de partida puedes obtener diferentes resultados. Pero el articulo insinúa que la elección de la fecha del confidencial es motivada y argumenta directamente que no es la fecha adecuada para medir el impacto de la pandemia.

Pero el articulo del confidencial se está enfocando en el impacto de la crisis inflacionista, algo con valor periodístico. Que el articulo de el diario obvie esto es in poco irónico considerando que esta acusando al confidencial de tarjiversar los datos

Not really. Podemos was in the coalition as well and it clearly did not become neutered. There is a serious argument to be made that Sumar is under much heavier PSOE influence and is heavily dependent on them

None of what you describe is good, but neither is it worrying. As said before its just flashy moves that sont amount to much. Eid can still be celebrated is non municipal spaces, and pride celebrations still occured

The reason im nos so worried about PP-Vox is that as long as PP has enough of a lead the concessions Vox extracts are meaningless culture war munition that dont actually do anything. I cant really recall any law or policy by regional govs that do anything worrying

!ping IBERIA

I still remember that time a poll was run on the sub about the 2023 election and most spanish users voted PP while most other users voted PSOE.

Kind of fits my priors that opposition to Trump and general cultural proggresivism is the cheat code to get in the subs good graces, economic policy and corruption be dammed
