Bill Gates said too many resources are going toward climate change instead of issues like welfare and poverty…
In the letter, Gates called out the “doomsday view” of climate change and said leaders need to make a “strategic pivot” to focus on issues that have the “greatest impact on human welfare.”
“It’s the best way to ensure that everyone gets a chance to live a healthy and productive life no matter where they’re born, and no matter what kind of climate they’re born into,” he wrote.
The “generative AI” part of the headline is not particularly relevant to the article, but is a great test to see who reads the article before rushing to comment.
That’s the subheading. The body of the article says;
More than ten people per day in the United States suffer amputation injuries using table saws, meaning the rule had the potential to save upward of four thousand fingers and over $2 billion in health care and other costs a year.
I just finished watching this and thought it was quite good. It takes place during the early 90s, so it’s just a couple people who happen to be gay in a platoon of straight men. It painted the Marine boot camp experience as a relatively positive experience, so much so that it’s surprising the Pentagon is bashing it.
What kind of office chair has one leg that's 50% longer than the others and why is there a tube extending directly downward from the ceiling to above that chair? People cranking out this sort of thing absolutely use AI instead of Photoshop now.
There are still plenty of top-freezer refrigerators with no water dispenser, ice maker or filtration available and those fell out of style decades ago - despite being ~20% more energy efficient than bottom freezer refrigerators. They’re not going away anytime soon.
There is a huge diversity of plastics being produced today and each one will require a unique evolutionary adaptation to be biodegraded. We’re also continuously developing new plastics and new combinations of plastics such as core-shell polymers. You also had much more wood available than you have plastic scattered across the earth, meaning much more energy available for any microorganisms that evolved to degrade wood and thus a greater evolutionary advantage. I don’t think microbes are going to save us from the plastic scourge anytime soon.
Biden used tariffs pretty liberally and incentivized domestic manufacturing as well - entirely at odds with neoliberal economics. Even so, American post-pandemic recovery was the envy of the world.
Since we already decided to embrace the concept of thought-crime with the ill-conceived ban on downvoting, we might as well embrace the autocrat fan club(s).
It would be of great scientific value if we could study how Fetterman shifts further rightward with incremental increases in brain damage.
