No, numeracy is when you draw cards to see the future.

You forgot the /s

Rising costs of energy starting Feb 22 is the cause of the last huge dip. As a matter of fact, rising the price of energy and the ensuing economic slowdown is still the most effective way to to reduce GHG. Being frugal is the only way to reach 0 emissions in spite of whatever rosy paint one wants to put on green energy, housing renovation and other half-effective measures.

My recent permaban from r/worldnews for stating the obvious (is “Iran attacks Israel” still the right title for a stickied thread on the events in Gaza?) has had the positive effect of making me renew with Lemmy.

r/worldnews is a cesspool of hasbara fanboys, but their unilateral view on the conflict starts to draw away people from their toxic propaganda.

Note that they present the issue only as a financial problem rather than an actual threat to the environment or people.

You wildly overestimate the danger nuclear waste represents.

First, transportation is done in small amounts at a time, completely encased in concrete and steel, and is of no risk of exploding: the only danger would be spillovers, which would call for expensive cleaning operations.

Next, storage. The whole waste produced by 60 years of nuclear waste in France amounts to only a few swimming pools of dangerous material. If this material was actually fully useless, we could ditch it in geological layers underground where it would become soon unreachable and dispersed, posing no discernable danger for the upcoming few billion years.

Furthermore, the only reason we don’t ditch this nuclear waste right now is that this material can still be useful for plenty of uses that are not yet economically viable, but could be in the long term, such as energy generation with low-yield reactors.

Résumé:

Reconnaissance de la Palestine : Macron hésite encore Autour du président de la République, certains le pressent de reconnaître enfin la Palestine comme un État à part entière. Emmanuel Macron consulte, réfléchit, jure qu’il cherche le bon moment. Comme… François Hollande, dix ans avant lui.

Too bad neither Israel nor the US are member of the ICC. That gives them far less leverage, even though they will likely put pressure on some weaker members of the ICC.

I’m afraid forcing watermarking generated content is doomed to fail, for 2 reasons: first it has to be voluntary, second, watermarking can always be removed if one does not care about preserving the exact content.

Rather, I believe systematically signing original content may alleviate some of the issues created by algorithmic content generation.

Then a docking tax in domestic harbors matched to the carbon tax would seriously reduce the usage of those yachts.

As commonly said: the product advertises its new AI feature. The job posting of the person who implemented it was ‘data scientist’, and the technique used is called logistic regression.

Well, in this context, it’s more image comparison or some other simple technique not even relying on a training dataset.

“Mode d’emploi” est la traduction attendue.

Le second “de” se rattache au substantif qui le précède immédiatement, à savoir “fonctionnement” et non aux mots précédents.

Certes on comprend le sens parce qu’on baigne dans les anglicismes, mais cela n’empêche la traduction d’être inexacte.

J’ai voulu le poster sur jlai.lu, mais ça n’a pas marché, malgré l’excellent post https://jlai.lu/post/541698

At one of my clients, a large institution, they go further: you’re not allowed to use the local browser’s password manager. And still have to abide by the usual password rules: rotate every 3 months, complex passwords, etc.

As a result, users store a plain text file on their desktop (some go as far as printing it), that conveniently allows them to retrieve their passwords.

Too much security kills security.

Les instances officielles gardiennes de la langue: académie et CELF, ne sont pas d’accord avec toi.

Certes beaucoup de linguistes moins conservateurs font beaucoup de bruit et s’offusquent de ce qu’ils assimilent a du sexisme (alors que par ailleurs les mêmes vont se scandaliser qu’on assimile genre grammatical et sexe)

Il n’en demeure pas moins que la disparition du genre grammatical, a terme, devrait permettre de résoudre de façon simple et élégante tout un tas de problèmes bien réels que l’écriture inclusive ne fait qu’exacerber au lieu de les résoudre.

En plus, c’est une tendance universelle.

En fait, ce n’est pas le genre neutre qui a disparu, mais le neutre qui a absorbé le masculin.

Je suis entièrement d’accord que, plutôt de complexifier inutilement les choses avec l’écriture inclusive, faire disparaitre le genre féminin serait la solution la plus logique pour satisfaire les ultra féministes

Well, if we want to feed everyone in Europe and not spend 50% of our revenue on food like humanity has before the 19th century, we will have to keep an industrial agriculture, specially now that population is triple what it was then.

Europe’s goals wrt. agriculture are myopic.

Specially when we consider that organic farming emits between 12 and 50% more greenhouse gases per calorie produced than reasoned industrial agriculture.

Now the Satanists have to declare the Kama sutra and other erotica as sacred books to circumvent this ban.
