No, we damn well aren’t.

It’s not a clear cut case, but if you look at the development of solar, battery and other renewable technology we definitely are on the right track to stop the worst. We might even be able to reverse some of it by the end of the century.

It could also make it vastly worse in the future, which is the more likely scenario.

Yes, I wrote that in the next paragraph…

Some times this place is really worse than Reddit, wallowing in self pity and downvoting anything positive. In many aspects this is still the best time to be alive no matter where you live in the world and the future is potentially very, very bright.

It’s really sad that many young people are so pessimistic about the future. Despite some setbacks the last years, in many ways the world is still in a better place than it has ever been in human history.

Child mortality is still lower than ever, (extreme) poverty is still on a declining trend, we’re actually on track to stop the worst climate change (thanks to massive Chinese investments), AI could vastly improve our lives in the future…

That said we do live in uncertain times, fascism is on the rise again, a nuclear war could still kill us all, fighting climate change is not done,l and AI could ruine all our lives; but pessimism is not the right mindset.

August 6th 1945: a small forgotten shrine in Hiroshima gets obliterated by the nuclear blast of Little Boy. This was one of the seven shrines holding the fabrics of spacetime together. Slowly spacetime starts to unravel, in the beginning nothing seems unusual but slowly the timeline becomes more and more unlikely. Can our hero stop the unraveling in time?

Why go through all the hoops if they are instead just could refuse patches? Open source doesn’t mean open to contributions, look at SQLite for example.

If they had the idea to release this open source they would have said so in clear words by now. They didn’t so I don’t have much hope, unless maybe if they get enough negative publicity to change their mind.

Why does VC need to ruin everything…

Stable bindings doesn’t mean open source, so I don’t see how that tells you it’s still on the table

It doesn’t make sense for an internal library for an open source application, it that case it’s not open source.

To be fair? Nowhere are they even suggesting they would release the SDK as FOSS, but they do say their password manager is open source. It seems like they just want a FOSS shell so they can claim it’s open source for but keep their business logic closed source.

It says the build error is a bug, not the inclusion of proprietary code.

China mostly has combined type A, C and I plugs in my experience (Can’t see the wall outlet in the picture clear enough)

And nothing in that picture looks like it’s in China. From the house, to the kid, to the Halloween costume, nothing looks Chinese.

Clearly not: https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/issues/11611#issuecomment-2424865225

I think that can be explained, but tell me how someone can be in favor of the death penalty but be against assisted suicide.

We have this: and this:

At the time most Americans were farmers. Can’t be Sunday because it’s a Christian rest day, Wednesday neither because that’s market day. They might have to travel a whole day to get there, so it can’t be on Monday or Thursday either. Which leaves only Tuesday, Friday and Saturday.

LFP is actually a relatively old battery technology, it’s only now that the patent is expired that it’s starting to breakthrough (outside of China, they somehow got a license if I understand it correctly).

That’s what I thought too, but according to Sabine Hossenfelder there actually is, we just choose not to speak about it. I don’t really know enough about quantum physics to make my own judgement.

How would it be displaced by SARS-CoV2? Wouldn’t that require cross immunity?
