It is not just a few stragglers, 30% of americans believe climate change isnt real, the us president is one of them.

Fighting climate change is not going to be successful without sacrifice, we tried that for the last decades and fossil fuel consumption has only risen.

Of course people dont want to do that and so instead deny it happening or that it will be magically fixed in the future.

ACs are not going to stop storms, floods, droughts and the rising sea level. Fighting climate change requires sacrifice of current comforts for an easier life of future generations.

So of course we are not going to do anything about it, when it is much easier to deny it exists or pretend that it is going to magically fix itself in the future.

The deaths due to lack of ac is more than predicted deaths due to storms or droughts

northward movement of herds are already banned between mexico and the usa because of screwworms, so tariffs are irrelevant. Also transmission also occurs through wildlife so banning that is also not enough.

Even if the budget for software development were to stay constant, if an ever increasing part of it is spent on llm usage, it will reduce the money left for developers, resulting in mass layoffs and/or mass salary cuts.

I think the reason is that other consoles were jailbroken because of their browser, so now sony doesnt include it.

from the article:

> It is possible to set up automated systems to gatekeep this, but with a non-negligible dollar value attached to it, the incentive is just too great for the AIs to just keep arguing, reopening the same PR, etc.

It doesnt really change much, by buying a company its future ebitda will be included, it only delays the reward by some time. So yes he can just buy a bigger company
