Well, Australia has one of the highest per capita spendings a year. Historic data doesn’t really show the current reality. (14.5 tons)

The US does also emit more than twice the co2 a year per capita compared to Europe. (14.2 v 6.5 tons)

Although we’re seeing pockets reduce emissions, we do still increase emissions globally.

Acting locally, means the people hired to handle private jets.. Can handle locally. I suppose if you’re rich enough for a private jet, you can pay everyone enough to retire after 5 years. But I doubt they do, so go ahead mechanics. Do your part to keep planes grounded

I think it’s mostly in fields with exponential outcomes, which experiences the too conservative estimates.

We as a species has a really hard time understanding exponential/accelerant movement, we expect the next decade to change as much as the previous one. Despite every decade has been changing more than the previous one did

I honestly think it would do a lot if all sorting algorithms were made open source.

We would quite quickly have mapped out how their algorithms work and which companies are the most predatory

The big games you mention here are what most would coin AA titles, AA is absolutely still able to hit homeruns at time.

But the AAA (biggest budget games) plays a bit too safe, I have a feeling GTA VI might be a banger. But that’s an anomaly for a AAA game.

We need more innovative games, triple A’s should be able to invent new things. Studios quite often does so, and then has it gutted by publishers/investors because it carries too high of a risk

GDP is absolute values, so there’s quite a bit of self reinforcement. Especially in service heavy areas, your massage cost 30$ for half an hour, elsewhere you can get a better one for 10$ an hour.

Although the second economy delivered twice the goods at a higher quality, the economic output was 1/3rd

we can’t use the Indian trade agreement as an example of European independence if it serves the US strategy.

It serves European strategy, as one step to further isolate Russia, to ensure countries we’re closer aligned to are in better positions. Of the three global tigers (China, India, USA), India is the lesser evil.

Sure India counters China in regional presence, but that’s not the ways USA cares about countering China. India would honestly trade Taiwan for complete soft control of Southeast Asia.

As opposed to the multipolar order.

That doesn’t exist, there’s at least 4 polars today. Usa, China, India and EU. There could be arguments for the Arabic peninsula being a 5th major polar.

Also, how would the EU benefit?

Trading energy in euroes, would make more euroes float and make the euro as a currency stronger. The more a currency is adapted, the stronger it is.

It’s the entire tenant behind US growth, the petrodollar. Making the world swim in dollars, which they end up investing back in the US and the US can then buy new shit overseas. The Euro would achieve a similar effect if it bought its energy in euroes, with a third intermediary being Africa. Saudi Arabia would invest in Africa, Africa would buy a mix of food and industrial equipment in Europe and the triangle trade is in motion

rub it in that the US are violating international law.

fair

That’s when international law matters. If we don’t defend it or at least try, we signal that it is only there to suppress the ambitions of small countries.

An idealists statement, but it’s not how the world spins around

India is built up against China, with an extreme right government that looks US made.

But it’s a democracy which is moving in the right direction in terms of personal freedoms.

Australia is big but with a small population. That looks more like a support of the American shift to Asia since it came with a defence agreement if I remember correctly.

Looking at the official statement, it’s a direct jab against the US turning away from a rules based order. This agreement is not to glaze the US, far from it.

The EU and Australia are already long-standing allies and partners, whose global outlook is aligned in terms of defending multilateralism and the rules-based international order.

So why don’t we invest?

We are, but we should be investing more. And more importantly, we should cleverly flood the Arabic peninsula with euroes through energy trade. To make Saudi Arabia assert its soft power in Africa and weaken the US in the process.

We honor the US embargo. There is no independence.

There’s no way we can break a US blockade on Cuba, just like the US successfully can’t invade France. Distance is a hell of an issue.

Cuba is too insignificant to cause a greater international reaction

Several EU countries have been distancing themselves from the US for the past year and a half, but apparently they didn’t feel prepared for cutting contact this spring.

Was it three trade agreements signed since Trump went to office? Mercosur, India and Australia iirc. They’ve all been laying around in a drawer, with minor details missing. Boom, they’re all good now.

That’s not at random, that’s Europe positioning itself to not rely on the US. The continent has been awakened and the drift away is going to happen. The US wanted to be isolated, they can’t stop the movement now.

India is going to replace a fair share of the reliance Europe has on the US. But Africa is right there next door screaming for investment, no need to invest in the US

Sounds like they figured out most of the previously unspecified traffic, comes from Linux based systems.

But you’re right about an unknown amount of that traffic is from servers.

If Denmark pushes EU to an economic war, then the USD is no longer the petrol dollar and will crash immediately.

The US relies in Europe for their economy to a greater deal than the EU relies on the US. But an economic war between the worlds two largest economies will cause global economic instability for a bit.

Personally I were shocked EU didn’t attack the petrol dollar at the beginning of the Hormuz closure, as that was the easy way to keep energy flowing out of the strait.

Didn’t it happen around IPO?

One could theorise it was done to boost forward projections at that specific time of the company’s lifecycle

It does make some menial tasks simpler, but if people think it will actually replace us then they’re in for a shock.

That’s the sales pitch, we’re in a job market drought right now. Give it a year or two and all the slop will begin breaking, making a new job market boom for developers

Given EU have created laws to require physical knobs for key features, I’d imagine this will be stopped as well.

BMW is the brand that tests for profit initiatives to see if they stick, I recall them being reported to attempt seated heating as a subscription a few years back

A human brain model would never get us to a super computer, which is their intended goal.

Our brains have about one exaflop of processing. The NVidia B300 has 15 petaflops of processing. Corresponding to 0.015 exa, you’d need 66 of the strongest GPUs on the market to match the processing power of one human brain.

That’s before considering context, current estimations would put the human brain at 2.5 petabytes of storage. The former B300 has 288 gigabytes of VRAM. Corresponding to 0.000288 of one human brain, the earlier expectation of 66 landing flat at 0.019 the storage of a human brain.

Can arguments be made not all brain capacity is at VRAM at all times? Most likely. But context windows is the primary bottleneck, not compute

Our brains are absolute monsters, we’d gain more from understanding how we can have this powerful of a machine on so little space. The bigger breakthrough would be brainbased processing of software, but I’ve not heard of anyone going that route - Probably because it’s not feasible

Hatsune Miku is one way to do it.

Another is to make hologram concerts, which I believe have been done with deceased artists

Which is probably why its pay is ass, because half of us just listens for free without ads

Hey! Some of us watched that movie when we were four

We’re all following the same pattern, the wealth distribution got completely fucked during covid and it hasn’t slowed down ever since. We’re just 5-10 years after you, but I’m scared of the direction especially the UK have made and no proper parties seems to be willing to dismantle the elites yet.

Capitalism will always make wealth trickle upwards, unless you either tax wealth harder than yields or taxes death to oblivion. Personally I’m in favour of 100% inheritance tax after the first 400 thousand euroes, as that’s the most feasible way to transition into a liberal merit based society rather than a nepotistic society based upon how wealthy your parents are which is dominating everywhere today - Including my beloved Denmark.
