and you don’t seem to understand…

honestly I think this discussion is probably a few decades ahead of our time, and were it not for op I would never raise it in this sub. there will probably come a time, however, when I consider supporting ai rights morally imperative. in any case I agree animal rights are more urgent and real atm.

I think we need to be cautious about this type of animal vs machine thinking, since ultimately all existences are “manufactured” in one way or another, and the main component (carbon or silicon) should not be a relevant criterion in morality. The ability to feel pain or form other forms of complex sentients, IMO, should.

on the flip side, under what criteria will further utilization of ai become exploitation to the machine and considered an issue in the vegan movement?

I looked into the gwp* thing and it is more appropriate for macroscopic / global analysis than for the carbon accounting of individuals. if one reduces 1 unit per year of emission of short live GHG now, can they claim the positive climate effects by comparing with the counterfactual baseline, where they continue to emit the GHG with the same rate forever? That is the equivalent of claiming an infinite amount of emission reduction.

in any case it is always possible to use a pulse response function to account for the gwp of any instantaneous emission increase/decrease, since gwp* is just the convolution of the pulse response over time.

since death star is capable of delivery a blast with high energy density, its core might be a nuclear fusion or anti matter power plant. maybe the mass there generates sufficient gravitational force.

my understanding is that Taiwan buys weapons from the us, so he is demanding something that is already a common practice

The moemorphic character shown in the picture is Archchan, created by ravimo. I wonder why show her in a discussion about Mint?

because simplified Chinese characters borrowed many words directly from Japanese kanji, so google translate still recognizes it.

I hear you can self host sth called photovoltaic on your rooftop to get it for free!

Wasn’t the moon landing a nasa scam to get more budget?

This is basically common knowledge now. CSIRO report pointed to similar conclusions for several years, at least since 2021 when I started to notice.

What is relevant to real life (since Australia probably never will get nukes) is that even assignning system costs only onto VRE, they are still almost the same LCoE in a 90% VRE system. This is again consistent with previous reports.

After Australia pass 100% VRE, exporting green hydrogen in the regional market will probably handle the last remaining flexibility needs. Exporting electricity directly to SE Asia is less likely but still a possibility.

Realism diplomacy is just 19th century style imperialism and interempire alliance with a new name. Look how he appeased Putin during the beginning of russo-ukrainian war. This person has no moral guide and will throw anyone, friend or foe, under the bus to gain perceived nation interest. In the long run it is exactly those moves that harmed US credibility the most.

Now they will start saying that beneath every hospital and refugee camp in Gaza lies a Hamas headquarter.

I think it is the other way around; easy pirate versions appeared becuz windows was popular, providing access to those who can’t afford.

Algae are also the preferable bioenergy source compared with using trees.
