  • Most religions in China get the same treatment from the CCP.

    Christian communities have had similar experiences.

    In 2016, thousands of crosses were torn down from churches throughout Zhejiang Province. The authorities have also broken up congregations that have not been approved by the state, while church leaders have been arrested and jailed.

    The demolition of domes, crosses and minarets and their replacement by Chinese-styled tiled roofs and Buddhist-styled pagodas. It involves mandatory patriotic education for Buddhist, Christian and Muslim clergy and it entails party-approved sermons and prayers.

    South of Xinjiang in Tibet, the authorities have restricted the practice of Tibetan Buddhism over the last decade. Religious festivals have been banned more frequently and government employees, teachers and students have been barred from participating in religious activities.

  • Android apps are blocking sideloading and forcing Google Play versions instead

    Jump

  • This is just Google's clever way of not removing the sideloading feature from their OS.

    They let app developers to prevent users from using sideloaded app.

    This way they can avoid antitrust lawsuits.

  • That's the problem there's no common consensus from scientists. What is happening right now is similar to the scenario from The Day After Tomorrow, scientists debate and offer their theories.

    from phys.org today

    Not the day after tomorrow: Why we can't predict the timing of climate tipping points

    A study published in Science Advances reveals that uncertainties are currently too large to accurately predict exact tipping times for critical Earth system components like the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), polar ice sheets, or tropical rainforests.

    These tipping events, which might unfold in response to human-caused global warming, are characterized by rapid, irreversible climate changes with potentially catastrophic consequences. However, as the study shows, predicting when these events will occur is more difficult than previously thought.

    Climate scientists from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) have identified three primary sources of uncertainty.

    Also as Rahmstof said.

    “There’s now five papers, basically, that suggested it could well happen in this century, or even before the middle of the century,” Rahmstof said. “My overall assessment is now that the risk of us passing the tipping point in this century is probably even greater than 50%.”

    While the advances in AMOC research have been swift and the models that try to predict its collapse have advanced at lightning speed, they are still not without issues.

    This research gap means the predictions could underestimate how soon or fast a collapse would happen.

  • That's what AI companies want, you don't have a job and they pay you with UBI in Compute Coins, so you can spend by using their digital wallet (Altman has Worldcoin).

    This is just an Utopia world for the rich and a Dystopia world for most of us.

  • Sam Altman says instead of Universal Basic Income, there should be Universal Basic Compute, where everybody gets a slice of GPT-7's compute

    Jump

  • I think, what Altman means by Compute is the same as something like Credit Points or Coins. Which you can use to pay bills, rent, buy groceries, etc.

    This is just an excuse from a billionaire to not give you UBI in cash and prefer to use Coins from their digital system and buy their products.
