World News@lemmy.world•Revealed: the world’s worst mega-leaks of methane driving global heatingEnglish
5·1 month agoYeah. It’ll solve itself when the habitability of the planet declines enough to prevent the continuation of a high-tech global economy.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Tesla is exiting consumer space because Self-Driving has hit the same fundamental limits as LLMs
1·2 months agoMaybe, but the other guys with lidar are using 1.8 RDP’d in Filipino drivers (without US driving licenses) per car… so maybe its a pipe dream either way.

1·3 months agoYeah, but have you considered that this kind of technology can’t sustain the delusion idea that you could replace all workers with a chatbot?

12·4 months agoGreat. Now i can get that “real book feeling” of wrestling the books pages to lie flat enough for me to read them as I lay down.
I had to check, but voyager, evidently.

World News@lemmy.world•Millions of children and teens lose access to accounts as Australia’s world-first social media ban beginsEnglish
2·4 months agoThat’d be an effective total ban, because noone would want to be on a social media platform with entierly 80+ year olds. It’d be all corny minion memes.

World News@lemmy.world•Trump’s greatest crime is practically invisible — Estimates show that the dismantling of USAID has killed at least 600,000 to date. It could get much worseEnglish
297·5 months agoI took a look at the tracker they’re using as a source, and this appears to be (for the few categories I checked the methodology for) referring to mathematically projected deaths, and not literal counted dead humans. I think that’s a pretty important note, especially if we’re titling it “at least 600,000 dead”. I’m not saying noone died, but “I’ve used math to estimate that half a million people died based on this set of assumptions” is a very different statement from “We have tallied up literally half a million dead people over here explicitly because of USAID going away”

Technology@lemmy.world•Amazon Allegedly Replaced 40% of AWS DevOps With AI Days Before CrashEnglish
8·6 months agoI’ve been waiting for something like this so we can see who’s heads roll when AI fucks up. I figured we’d see doctors and lawyers losing their licenses first, but maybe it’ll be this. So, who shoulders the blame when a program that can’t learn from its mistakes fucks up a quarter of the internet?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•People aged 25+ How often do you hang out/see friends?
2·6 months agoI play DnD with some of my close friends. We also try to get together at one of our houses every once in a while to do “arts and crafts” stuff. Paint figurines, carve pumpkins, gingerbread houses, painting shitty paintings with bob ross. Sometimes we have “scary movie night”, or watch over the garden wall, or a new anime that came out something. Sometimes we’ll go out to do things too, the Zoo, or museums, or a haunted house, or coen maze this time of year. We started doing this after COVID. It seems kinda silly, but having a good excuse to get, like, a half a dozen or so friends together and hang out IRL is honestly great. Sometimes i don’t wanna get up on a Saturday to do it, but I’m always glad I did. It’s hard to come up with excuses to do things in person that aren’t prohibitively expensive, nor infrequent.

World News@lemmy.ml•The Liberal Abandonment Of Greta Thunberg
32·6 months agoI used to be a scientist and I’m a science teacher now, and science is 100% a social construct. I could go through examples of how our modern interpretation of science is based on western philosophy that is a few thousand years younger than science itself as a practice, and how this limits the scope of modern science in a materially significant way. I could go into other examples too. But you really should just go watch Dr.Fatima’s two videos “Gravity is a Social Construct, and That’s Okay”, and “Astronomy has a Colonialism Problem” on YouTube, because she does the most phenomenal exploration of the topic, and I could only (poorly) approximate the quality of her work here.

I’m not sure that’s accurate. I mean, Heusinger, who was a high-ranking member of the Wehrmacht, was later a West German general, and a Chairman at NATO. Definitely striking, but not the only similar example. Denazification was woefully incomplete.
