As a member of the El Bosque community in Tabasco, Mexico, I face an uncertain future. Rising sea levels caused by climate change have swept away more than 200 meters of coastline here, destroying more than 50 homes. Climate change represents a radical change for our community. Before experiencing this radical change we lived in...
No, there were credible academic studies back in 2012 that explained the Arabs Spring revolts by climate change, leaving countryside communities unable to sustain their mode of life.
Well, I have some difficulties seeing Hamas or even Fatah participating peacefully to a secular Palestinian government. Two states living next to each other remains the only possible solution for at least a hundreds year. But Israel needs to make concessions to Fatah if one wants a chance to have a long enough peace to starts mending the civil society.
As sad as caged animals may be, intensive farming may actually be better for the climate and natural resources, as it allows massive optimization of resource usage per unit produced.
Our modern social apparatus: education, health, police, justice... contributes about 1.4 teqCO2/person/year. Just our breathing, for a single person, emits about 350kg of CO2/year. This carbon we breath out is accounted for from our food. But you have to understand that it is the absolute minimum a living human being can emit.
Now, that leaves about 250kg eqCO2/person/year for everything else: housing, heating, leisure, traveling, clothing... if we think we need to stay under 2t eqCO2. This completely impossible.
Whereas if we were half as many, like 50 years ago, 4t/person/year still enables us to live a modern life.
On Wednesday, OpenAI announced DALL-E 3, the latest version of its AI image synthesis model that features full integration with ChatGPT. DALL-E 3 renders images by closely following complex descriptions and handling in-image text generation (such as labels and signs), which challenged earlier models. Currently in research...
While there is some truth in this, humans and AI do not make the same type of mistakes with hands.
Humans will rebuild the topological structure of the hand: 5 fingers protruding from a base, and get the proportions wrong..while the topology is credible.
AI will rebuild the image of a hand from the 2d appearance of a hand: a variable number of flesh colored, parallel stripes, and improvise from that.
While both can get it wrong, the errors are not similar.
Ben, en fait, à chaque fois que je postais depuis kbin, après avoir posté, je tombais sur une erreur du style "sorry, try again later". Du coup, je me suis acharné, en postant depuis mon compte lemmy.world et faisant d'autres tentatives.
Jusquà ce que je regarde dans mon profil, et que je m'aperçoive que mon post était passé, en fait, et même 8 fois!
J'ai donc supprimé les 7 autres instances du post et gardé celle-ci.
C'est mon premier post sur jlai.lu, que je posterai pas sur reddit/r/france. Merci de l'indulgence...

Renewables will inevitably become cheaper than fossil fuels, as the resource dwindles. The problem is how to make energy abundant enough to satisfy our current needs and those of the rest of the world, who expects to reach our standards of living?
(A: it's not possible, nuclear can help, but only for a while, perhaps enough time for the demographic transition to complete)
I’ll note that this is article is concentrated on individual action, not on political action to change policy, which has a far bigger impact than individual action can.
First because, per calorie produced, organic farming emits 12 to 40% more green house gases.
(Depending on the study).
Second, because you'll be less healthy and die sooner.
In general, the price of a good in a competitive market is directly tied to its energy cost (either manual or machine labor), which is itself tied to its carbon footprint. If something is more expensive, it is very likely that its production emitted more GHG, or that you're getting scammed.
As an exemple, beef is more expensive than chicken, which is itself more expensive than vegetables.
That's why the best personal action to save on GHG emissions is still to become poorer/reduce your material comfort. Compensate with richer interactions with others and a sense of community.
Voilà un article qui mérite d'être lu. Et me donne envie de relancer mon site perso, pur HTML avec juste un peu de CSS, créé en 1993 et plus mis a jour depuis 2015.
Quand je fais mon bilan CO2 sur le site de l'ADEME, qu'on est sensé arriver à 2t eqco2/personne/an, alors que les services publics prennent 1,4 t, et que le simple fait de respirer émet 350kg/an (CO2 comptabilisé dans la nourriture qu'on consomme): oui, on a besoin de plus que de l'énergie décarbonée, il a falloir couper là où ça fait mal...
Stupidly click baity title. The only corporation that does not pollute is the one that doesn't produce anything. Sure, regulations such as carbon taxes are necessary to contain negative externalities, but if there's a demand for cheap products there will be a lowest bidder that will take all market share.
Lowering our consumption is unfortunately the way to make those companies pollute less.
Le dilemme éthique est intéressant. Dans le domaine scientifique, il est considéré normal de tenir à jour des listes de chercheurs ayant commis des inconduites scientifiques. Les bannissant ainsi peu ou prou des revues et de perspectives de carrière. Ceci sans possibilité de recours légal.
A la reflexion, c'est surtout la manière de faire qui est plus formelle et plus policée dans le monde de la science. Certes, c'est un système para-légal, mais il y a tout de même un protocole, des voies de recours. L'argumentation sur la légitimité du fichier et sa maintenance sont rigoureusement étudiés pour être compatibles avec les juridictions du monde entier.
Alors que lorsqu'on lit l'article, le groupe facebook est géré de façon haineuse et grossière, sans se soucier d'y mettre les formes nécessaires.
Comme quoi, y mettre la forme peut faire une grosse différence sur le plan éthique.
Il y a peut-être une startup à créer qui gérerai un tel fichier de mauvais payeurs, pour les locataires, mais aussi tout un tas d'escrocs en tous genre, y compris les proprios abusifs.
Le studio de 1975 représente 69 smics mensuels de l'époque (smic de 1975 en euros courants=192euros).
Transposé à aujourd'hui, 69 smics mensuels nous donne un pouvoir d'achat immobilier de 118k euros.
Certes pas assez pour un studio Parisien, mais suffisant pour la proche couronne Est. Comme le 19eme à l'époque était un quartier pas trop huppé, dans le fond la différence avec les prix d'aujourd'hui n'est pas si flagrante. Et le studio d'aujourd'hui aux normes sera moins cher à chauffer et nettement plus confortable.
