Edit : minor addition. I was reading a comment the other day and found out helium can also result from other reactions outside of a star, such as the decay of a radioactive element, which ejects an alpha particle (which is just a helium molecule with special attributes, aka no electrons). The alpha particle crashes into something, picks up electrons and suddenly its a helium.

No, they are clearly making the following comparison.

1. For climate change : World is heating up, heading toward the result of mass extinctions. The most valuable resource is the time to act. Ten extra years to work on the root cause. Unsustainable emissions.

2. For Helium : A finite resource is being exhausted, heading toward a world with no helium (helium is typically created by one of the fusion cycles in the core of a star, fusion is a nascient technology on earth). The most valuable resource is time to act, +X% helium extra supply to address the root cause, unsustainable consumption.

In both cases, the root cause is being (mostly) ignored.

So they're pointing out that if you have 800 finite helium, then suddenly you find out you have 880 helium.. that hasn't changed the finite nature of the helium. The root cause remains a "spending problem". And they are likely annoyed that 880 ~> 880 results in, " Omg yay!" vs what should be, "Oh thank goodness, more time to address the root cause of consumption."

Idk, was that not obvious? I'm not being facetious here, I'm really asking. Brings to mind the "curse of knowledge" fallacy where when you understand something you assume others do, and they often don't, resulting in disjointed communication where the listener can't grasp the idea. As condescending as this sounds I assure you its only because I'm not a writer, I'm legitimately making an attempt to communicate neutrally with you as we both seem to have genuine interest.

Anyway, corrections and such always welcome. All numbers in this post made up for illustrative purposes only.

To me it brings about the question of, "What is the shelf life of answers?" Like if reddit had existed 100 years ago, how do you go about "cleaning" a model of deprecated information? Or maybe you don't? I know very little about LLMs, just a thought.

One of the lucky 10,000?

The concept of opportunity cost applies to everything.

If you think it does not, then I now know the person that should be explaining crypto electric consumption to me is a person who failed to fully grasp the concept of opportunity cost.

Enlightening.. at least..

From a planning perspective, the West must assume Taiwan is already "lost" and merged into China. Therefore the rational action to take is to begin spinning up as much chip production as possible in the interim, while continuing to rely on Taiwan's manufacturing.

Fun fact, the guy who founded TSMC was an immigrant working in tech firms in the mid-late 1900s but was unable to get promotions due to American racism against asians. So he said, "Aight guess I'll go back and make my own company."

The US had the TSMC founder and drove him away with hate.

Please do yourself a favor and check out podcasts covering this topic, there are some good ones.

It's not hard to do. What would be hard would be getting it through code review. Like the example provided.. how would that ever get through code review for a merge? Must not be a well-protected code base?

So you don't know how to uninstall Firefox on Ubuntu?

Where do these "Ubuntu ads" display in the operating system? Are you talking about the software browser? An application used to get software suggestions is suggesting software? Or something more nefarious?

To me, your post just says, "I haven't used Linux much," because I've never encountered any of these problems.. but I'm always open to being wrong.

Edit : Just wanted to add that I now see that I missed a joke. I appreciate the helpful replies!

Good additions. I actually struggled to find a good way to criticize the left because I am extremely left-leaning myself. I caught myseld writing a "cons bad" post and decided to attack the weaknesses I see in left-wing politics as a bit of a self-challenge, tho admittedly with only about two minutes of consideration. Judging by the points on the post my perspective is not very popular.

Tbh I should give this more thought, finding flaws in your own positions is a harder exercise than I realized. I'll have to explore and flesh out these ideas a bit more.

I think you make some good points, I'm a bit torn on this topic and am not sure what to think yet. I do however agree that preventing the user from hiding any topic they don't want to see is harmful.

Platforms need to add common-sense controls like category blocking and family modes (which the user can craft themselves).

My biggest complaint here is the platform deciding what I want to watch.

I don't understand, children cannot see nudity? Is it bad for them?

It would be more accurate to state that any given site chooses not to work well with any given browser.

Your phrasing makes it seem as-if this choice is in the browser developer's hands. It is not.
