  • Nowadays the hyphen is the only easy dadh to type

    That's not true in general. I personally use the German Extended (E1) layout (when I'm not on mobile) and the em dash is super easy to type. There are also lots of other custom layouts used by people who care about typesetting.

    Even people that don't internationally care about typesetting sometimes use them because their tool (like Word and some CMS systems) automatically replace hyphens in specific places with em dashes, or substitute straight double quotes with the correct quotation marks (depending on which country you are from)

  • Which is obviously complete BS. I often use em dashes when I'm not on mobile, my keyboard layout typically is German Extended (E1) which makes them (and many other symbols needed for propper typesetting) accessable pretty easily.

    Em dashes are not a sign of AI, but a sign of propper typesetting. They can be a tell if somebody didn't use them before and randomly started using them in emails. But if you don't know somebody and their tools or style of writing saying that they used Chat GPT because they used em dashes is completely ridiculous.

  • Maybe very small text with transparent font color, saying something completely ridiculous, and if somebody copies it into Chat-GPT the summary will contain surprising/funny/unexpected elements.

  • We might very well be in the end times and maybe AI will wipe us from the planet to prevent earth from becoming Venus.

  • So bezos and his guests flying dozens of individual private jets to Venice are the "younger generations"? It doesn't have a lot to do with age but seems to correlate with wealth. The wealthier you are (as a nation and an individual) the more you typically (on average) contribute to climate change.

  • Aerosols aren't gases in the classial sense and reflect sunlight. This works especially well high up in the atmosphere.

    https://science.nasa.gov/science-research/earth-science/climate-science/aerosols-small-particles-with-big-climate-effects/

    There are studies that collect data around volcano eruptions and coal power plants getting online and offline. Long story short: Climate is complicated; I'm not a climate scientist and not to be trusted; it would work great at cooling the planet; we definitely shouldn't do it (yet?) because it masks the temperature problem and could lead to us not reducing CO2 because we "wouldn't have to", but it could be a tool if we might be on the edge of a catastrophic runaway effect that causes too much water to evaporate into the atmosphere.

    Update: Btw, you are right about dark particles low in the atmosphere, those typically warm the planet. It's mainly sulfur dioxide aerosols byproduct that cool the planet (also mentioned in the NASA article)

  • It's not really hard to implement at all but would just trade pest for cholera. We could just burn a lot of coal again, the dustier and dirtier the better. But that's pretty bad for air quality but it would seriously cool the planet.

  • If they're at MY door, what else can be done but defend my life with my life?

    That's what I meant with you wouldn't do anything. First you'd still have other options and if ICE is at your door and you start shooting at them it will probably kill you faster.

    You sound pretty flippant with people's lives

    That was not my intention. It totally get why nobody is doing anything, especially with guns, because of the consequences. I just pointed out that so many people in favor of armed civilians bring completely flawed arguments and now we actually see in action how useless a "regulated militia" is.

    why don't you go grab a gun and suicide into an armed force for great justice?

    Why would I? I don't have a gun and never argued in favor of armed civilians, because it's completely useless (and research shows that it only increases the chances of domestic violence and suicide). Maybe it wasn't useless at the time the constitution was written but the current situation shows that it is now. Besides that I live in Vienna.

  • Things don't scale linearly like that. Many things are proportional to either the surface (so x²) or volume (x³) or complex combinations of those.

  • Chances are you wouldn't do anything, like all the other people seeing kidnappers with masks and doing nothing. Looks like the rest of the world was right when they told Americans that their arguments for keeping guns to prevent the government from going rogue was all talk.

  • Interesting that Americans always argue that they need their guns in case the government goes rouge. So many comments say that they will get shot, because they absolutely look like kidnappers, yet nothing happens. Looks like you keep those guns around just for a higher suicide rate and school shootings.

  • 3? Are you nuts? I have two and see them maybe twice a year in person. Most friends require way too much time and I'm glad my friends are low maintenance and don't get annoyed when I ghost them for weeks.
