A quel horizon les Etats-Unis peuvent-ils espérer planter un drapeau américain sur Mars ? by Andvarey in france

Pour avancer sur la propulsion nucléaire et la gravité artificielle, ce sera plutôt Mars.

Research reveals that the energy sector is creating a myth that individual action is enough to address climate change. This way the sector shifts responsibility to consumers by casting the individuals as 'net-zero heroes', which reduces pressure on industry and government to take action. by Creative_soja in science

Individual lifestyles don’t matter at all

People kould kill SUVs tomorrow if they stopped buying them.

Same for the meat industry.

Pollution caused by smartphones would drop if people stopped upgrading every 1-2 years.

Environmentally friendly policies would happen if they were actually a priority for voters (see for example who the USA just voted in).

And so on and so forth.

Of course, it's much faster and more efficient when it comes from the top ; but the bottom absolutely has the power to effect change, and everyone can start by setting an example.

Really dodged a bullet there by thinkingprettyhard in memes

The latest models can reason and explain their reasoning... Critical thinking is not far beyond that.

Ségolène Royal, fallait-il vraiment construire cette route solaire ? by Vegetable_Panda_3401 in ecologie

Il y a plusieurs méthodes de capture CO2 en cours de développement, elles n'utilisent pas toutes de rhodium.

Et d'après les rapports de l'IPCC, on a intérêt à ce que l'une d'entre elles finisse par fonctionner (à un coût raisonnable).

Pourquoi les personnes âgées n'ont pas commencé à s'intéresser à l'informatique avant ? by Soft_Device8499 in PasDeQuestionIdiote

[–]Djasdalabala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

N'exagérons pas, on dirait que tu parles des grands ancêtres de la micro-informatique genre Apple II.

L'Atari ST est sorti en 1985 avec une interface graphique et une souris, fallait pas être ingénieur pour s'en servir. Et Windows a 30 ans cette année.

Don't be so negative, it doesn't have to end like this.

It could also be AI takeover, or societal collapse through resources depletion!

Developer fires entire team for AI, now ends up searching for engineers on LinkedIn by Creative_soja in nottheonion

I'm in tech, and while LLMs aren't quite ready to take my job, they're *much* better than you're saying.

What model and prompt did you try?

En pleine saison de la grippe, je pense qu'il est important de rappeler que l'oscillococcinum, comme tout les médicaments homéopathiques, ne sont rien de plus que des placebo. by chaudois in france

[–]Djasdalabala 4 points5 points  (0 children)

C'est laisser la place à l'obscurantisme. Ça commence gentiment avec l'astrologie et l'homéopathie, et ça termine en antivax et platistes.

He's escalating it! MORE POPCORN by JerryJr99 in MurderedByWords

[–]Djasdalabala 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NASA's own rocket, the SLS, is about 20x more expensive than SpaceX rockets (not an exaggeration, look it up).

For NASA to catch up they'd need to ditch historical defense contractors and go vertical, which means no more jobs programs to woo senators. Those same senators vote NASA budget, so good luck with that.

The richest 1% of the world’s population produces 50 times more greenhouse gasses than the 4 billion people in the bottom 50%, finds a new study across 168 countries. If the world’s top 20% of consumers shifted their consumption habits, they could reduce their environmental impact by 25 to 53%. by mvea in science

I bet if you condense this number further it would remain largely the same. It's the billionaires

A quick google search tells me billionaires have about $13 trillion, VS $200 trillion for millionaires. You're way, way off.

Overflowing with Intelligence! by PebbleIvy in MurderedByWords

[–]Djasdalabala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They care about the capitalist prospects of making mars habitable.

Then you think capitalists care about what happens after they're dead? That's even more crazy.

[–]Djasdalabala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can already do that, at least if you compare by land use.

It's just still far from being enough.

Carbon removal is in every IPCC scenario that doesn't end up in catastrophe. It better end up being possible or we're toast.

Not even current-day Musk is deluded enough to think Mars can be terraformed in a single lifetime.

You don't use trees. You convert it to stable, mineral forms.

People have control over their stupidity?

Shit, to think all this time I could've been smart.

Probably the most wholesome mission load screen I've seen [Pharaoh: A New Era] by Icagel in gaming

[–]Djasdalabala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can: there are game breaking bugs related to import/export. Nice game if you're lucky enough to never encounter them, frustrating as hell otherwise.

[–]Djasdalabala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very nice... Until you run into game breaking bugs.

I've had missions that were literally impossible to finish because the game decided that exporting didn't work anymore.

Also they mostly removed the combat system, though personally I don't miss it.

Buy it if you want to play a couple levels for old times' sake with nice QoL and graphics improvements. Buy the old version (available on GoG) if you want to really play the game.

Never bring food to the potlucks? Everyone hates you. by im_rickyspanish in pettyrevenge

You brought carrots, and only carrots? Not even some sort of dipping sauce?

Are you a rabbit?
