I wonder if people are just exhausted by the endless list of things to protest. I know there were some small ones in my city. I agree though, I was at those β€˜03 protests when I was 10.

Exxon’s 1982 report is pretty easy to read and very easy to find online if you search for it β€œ1982 Exxon internal report”. It’s titled A Primer on CO2 and Climate Change

New AMS Statement: Dismantling NSF’s National Center for Atmospheric Research would weaken U.S. leadership in weather, water, and climate science, putting public safety at risk.

For more than 60 years, NSF NCAR has improved forecasts and early warnings that save lives. More: https://bit.ly/4q6eChn

Thanks, that’s believable. Obviously I don’t live in NY or a place dense enough to really understand these changes.

For sure. It’s worth knowing the impact though and it’s interesting anyway. They may see their own increased congestion, which is likely worthwhile but is still worth understanding. It’s a potential cost of these changes right?

I’d have liked some discussion on their privacy and security because that’s what keeps me from entertaining anything other than Apple’s.

There’s a culture of despair on the left. Not for no reason of course, but a shame.

New Mexico will be the first state to make child care free The program, which is expected to save families $12,000 per child annually, is available to all residents regardless of income.

New Mexico's economy is a fraction of the size of New York City's.

If they can enact universal childcare β€” and relieve working families of a crushing cost burden β€” surely we can too.

It's just a question of political will.

How it works in NM is simply a matter of committing available funds to it. The state has the money from oil and gas tax revenue and has chosen to put it towards this.

I want to clarify that my example here is actually what I think is one of the best use cases of LLMs (as a sort of search and parsing tool).

The problem is handing everyone the keys to a very confident-sounding implementation of that. It takes subject matter experts to verify the results.

I meant no criticism. You admitted some ignorance of AI, and I wanted to provide information. These systems aren’t inherently trustworthy, and there’s currently no method to evaluate β€œtrust.” Use them for verifiable information only. They can’t verifiably determine if an image is real or fake.

ChatGPT cannot confirm whether a photo is AI or not. No computational method can right now.

Your interpretation is more believable if the preceding sentences didn’t exist. It makes more sense to interpret this generously and advocate for clearer writing.

If I recall correctly, it was first hypothesized in the 19th century when scientists were considering the impacts of industrialization.

Climate models since the 1970s nailed itβ€”most predicted global warming almost exactly as it happened.

It’s entirely possible to do that much soon, it will just depend on social pressures. The technology is nearly there.
