Challenge Defeatism. Resist Doomerism
Sure, but that’s not my decision to make. The ask was for other communities that are not politics focused. If people want to gather in one of those over another, that’s their choice not mine. I just listed some I’m aware of, that’s all.
Luckily we can do both. Push for better air quality, but don’t dismiss achievements that happen in other areas at the same time.
Some of these communities are more active than others, so if you do find them interesting/valuable please post.
Maybe some do, but mine just looks like this:
They are, but their stems and centre piece are plastic, which just ends up in landfill or litter. A reusable brooch is more environmentally friendly, but at least now they have paper stems and (im assuming) paper centre pieces so when they get thrown away they’re not so bad.
One thing I do find nuts is that the poppys have only just moved to paper stems. Every year they’d be busy handing these things out only for the plastic stem and centre to end up in landfill. I bought one of the reusable metal brooch versions a while ago, and just wear that each year, but it’s sad that the disposable nature of them wasn’t taken into consideration when they were designed.
Give her a medal
Most likely you’re correct, but I was basing my assumption from the following:
However, the Port Authority of NSW said no oil spills had been reported by vessels.
Time may tell I guess…
Natural undersea oil leak somewhere?
All of which should be done by human beings. Period.
Currently, maybe. But technology is fantastic at accuracy, better than humans in many regards. Gemini might have a way to go before it gets there, but it or its successors will get there and it’s moving fast.
Productivity is irrelevant here
I’m not sure it is. Productivity also refers to efficiency of services. If AI can make the services of the National Archives more productive for its staff and/or the public then surely that’s a good thing?
I have to say this is my concern as well. Deregulation rarely works well for the environment or climate because it’s shorthand for ‘letting businesses do what they want’ and businesses don’t tend to care about anything other than profit.

Maybe they should turn that mirror on themselves. Take a long look at the ‘non decent humans’ within their own ranks:
This initiative calls on the European Commission to establish a European tax on great wealth. This would contribute to the Union’s own resources, and the revenue would make it possible to amplify and perpetuate European ecological and social transition and development cooperation policies, cofunded by the Member States. The contribution would be used to combat climate change and inequality and would help to ensure that European citizens pay their fair share towards achieving these objectives.

Oh for sure. How we regulate AI (including how we power it) is really important, definitely.
Typical lack of nuance on the Internet, sadly. Everything has to be Bad or Good. Black or White. AI is either The best thing ever™ or The worst thing ever™. No room for anything in between. Considering negative news generates more clicks, you can see why the media tend to take the latter approach.
I also think much of the hate is just people jumping on the AI = bad band-wagon. Does it have issues? Absolutely. Is it perfect? Far from it. But the constant negativity has gotten tired. There’s a lot of fascinating discussion to be had around AI, especially in the art world, but God forbid you suggest it’s anything but responsible for the total collapse of civilisation as we know it…
I mean they could start by actually addressing the toxic work culture and dealing with that hateful cunt Yves Guillemot:
A Noctua NHD15 is still more than capable of cooling pretty much any CPU out there, especially AMD, and especially especially the new 9000 series which apparently run surprisingly cool. Other air cooling options are available. People also like the Thermalright Peerless Assassin, Deep Cool Assassin 3 or Sycthe Fuma all of which are cheaper. Noise wise, they’ll probably be fine in a case sat on the floor.
Short answer: I wouldn’t worry about air cooling a CPU unless your going to do some kind of mad overclocking or breaking benchmark records or something.
