Reduces spread and increases evolutionary pressure to increase resistance and possibly even become immune.
Microplastics and PFAS in fruits and fish and everything else.
And the most recent TV report on cadmium in spinach, I watched, told me to have a diversified diet.
Diversified into WHAT?
And their cuts are trying to avoid that, although they have thrown out many babies with the bath water. It's hard to blame them for trying to avoid default, which would be far worse than anything.
The program apparently cost $900 million which is not a trivial cost.
Also many steel mills are built so that they can switch between energy source, oil, coal, gas, which ever happens to be cheapest currently.
It's a commodity business, price is almost all that matters. And with the current US Administration the days of carbon subsidies might be numbered.
Much like cars are to squirrels, squirrels have evolved to run into a straight line to the nearest tree at the hint of any danger. And for all threats other than cars that is the correct thing.
But many squirrels are "trapped" by evolution to cross the path of a car when there is no need to do so.
Humanity's curiosity, sociability and OCDness have all been trapped by algorithms and smart phones.
And it is shortening lives and even more so reducing reproduction. A faint hope is, that with all such evolutionary pressure, we can evolve our way out of them.... eventually.
Instead of making adding biochar to farm land an agricultural subsidy. A simple, extremely low risk policy, that is a local subsidy and does create international trade conflicts like other subsidies can.
And it does not affect any wilderness.
And in hot humid climates is proven to increase fertility.
Or a bit risky we could fertilize the open ocean, very significantly increase ocean life. And it has been proven that a significant percentage of fish poop sequesters carbon in the deep ocean.
Instead efforts seem to be focused on shading the sun. And new ideas using nukes....
It's doing more harm than good: https://x.com/stevemur/status/1621680046317654016
Color Blindness is better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxB3b7fxMEA

Every AI company using its own created training, resulting in AIs that are similar but not identical, is in my opinion much better than one or very few AIs.
However, today it would seem that's because that generation lived through the great changes Japan experienced. Extremely quickly going from a pre-industrial civilization, to a post-industrial one.
And so despite Japan's great traditionally intense conservatism, they were fans of technological innovation.
With that generation fading away, it seems Japan is returning to being hyper conservative in every way. And falling behind technologically.
The story of Shuji Nakamura, inventor of the blue LED, is interesting. The company founder supported his experimentation, but the next generation, the son of the founder, wanted to Shuji Nakamura to stop.
Faith in innovation vs pessimism.
And possibly the biggest multiplier. But anything times zero is zero. Someone who does not understand the code Copilot writes is too dangerous to do anything.
But I worry what Copilot will do to future developers.
And knowing what universally available spell checking has done to me, destroyed my ability to spell correctly without it, I even worry how Copilot might deskill me over the coming years.
True. Not just the All In Guys, but also Tulsi and RFK, even Trump used to be a democrat.
America used to push the rest of the world to give their people those rights. Used to....
I want the fewest rules that create the most fair economy. And I know very few service better in the hands of government. And that includes bridges:
A minority of those on the right, don't.
How much faster than 50 year do you think the global economy can be turned sustainable?
And what is your source for Elon working against federal scientific bodies?
How much innovation and progress is happening in that?
Microsoft has Project Silica but that's crazy expensive. Only huge corporations, government and maybe churches could afford it. Not individuals.
What are the chances we some day see something like Project Silica as a cheap commodity product, femto lasers and all?
No. I am in control of how I feel like. Nothing else.
The first several attempts it would delete it and say identical to public code. Until I finally asked it to make a unique implementation that's not public code.
It took about a minute.
The National Science Foundation has received an annual budget of approximately $9 billion, the vast majority of which is spent on research and research-related activities.
We shall see.
Which people on TikTok early on called the most fair algorithm. However, I suspect Youtube initially had the same or a very similar one.
And in both cases I suspect once the app becomes very popular the algorithm is updated to be more profitable, whatever that requires.
In other words, enshittification affects everything.
Because America offshored almost all its manufacturing to China. No wonder China has a booming hardware industry and we don't.
Lucky things seem to be changing. Even Biden continued Trump China trade polices. And now Trump is back in power.
When years ago PG wrote that self-employed/founders developers are more focused, hungrier than developers working for someone else. A an easily observed truism. All of HN got their panties in a bunch.
20% of the people do 80% of the work. The problem is incentives. Which political appointee has the incentive to fight the federal workers union and be great manager, rewarding the 20% and punishing the rest? Until the next election?
It's tragic, but this inability to deal with federal employees is a reason why perhaps getting rid of whole departments is the only practical way to make real reforms.
