I think they already do. See Nvidia's A16: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... powered by 4xGA107 (RTX 3050 chip). I wouldn't' be surprised if they don't put 4 discrete chips together but rather slightly modify the original wafer to make a "multi-chip" chip.

As a reminder, to see if you're in a part of the world that is a big contributor and how much your region needs to do: https://ourworldindata.org/gra...

Plenty of replacement for China.

Or all investments will go to other countries with absolutely no labor law, like in Africa for example, to be able to drive production costs low and keep a good (and adjustable) margin. And China won't be able to compete against that just like the West couldn't.

Note that it's a good thing to improve the condition in said countries though. for what we see of the Chinese example, exploitation seems better than misery.

Moving to "freer nations" doesn't help much when Visa and Mastercard are blocking you access to their network. There is a sort of monopoly on financial transactions (the entirety of which goes through less than 5 players globally) and they impose whatever moral behavior they want. This is the problem, regardless of what their moral is.

You should see this video on the subject, it may change your point of view. It definitely changed mine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Heating/cooling your house contributes a big part of your CO2 emissions (around 20% in the USA). Cutting down the size of your apartment reduces as much the energy use for that purpose, which does indeed reduce your carbon footprint. It has nothing to do with magic and more with thermodynamics. I grant you that thermodynamics sometimes looks like magic.

I have come to the conclusion that it's not a question of handling. It's a question of wealth, something deadly engraved in our genes: we have to have more.

The world consumption exceeds roughly 3 times the earth biocapacity*, so to make it even, we all would have to divide by 3 our standard of living (and bear in mind that a really large part of the population cannot reduce its own because it's already so low). That includes, but is not restricted to: dividing by 3 the surface of your home, dividing by 3 the distance you travel or the number of times you travel, dividing by 3 the number of appliances you own, dividing by 3 the quantity of food you consume or swap it for something that requires one third the energy/land to produce, etc.

Nobody is going to willingly do that. Especially when they see some not doing it.

In fact, everybody wants to increase its own standard of living, People that are at the bottom of the list rightfully so, you could say.

So the deficit between biocapacity and footprint is going to grow until it all collapses and people will be forced to downsize. Just like the storm has no sense of your feelings when you decide you're entitle to take the boat out, the equations behind the evolution of our environment do not take into account our desire for more wealth or our reluctance to downsize.

If you think a pandemic is hard, think of a pandemic when health care has become to expensive to be common.

If Pfizer is an asshole for a 25% margin, what's Apple and its ~50% margin, then?

global CO2 released = CO2 released per person * number of person

If you don't want to change your lifestyle, just have fewer/no kids.

The dude had tens of millions of dollars flowing through his hands in shady operations so it's probably not difficult to find someone with a good reason and the means to have him killed. No need to involve any government here.

As usual the title and the summary are very misleading. Here are entire quotes of the articles (emphasis mine):

And

So vaccinated people accounted for only 25% of the infection count (half of half). Remember that being infected and being hospitalized is different.

Then:

Here we have 80% infection reduction which checks with the 75% infection reduction of the Israeli statistics above, but the hospitalization reduction is 96%.

So vaccine works. Because science, bitches!

We always do a "all you can eat" buffet at my P3 lab with the decommissioned bats. Would be a shame if they go to waste.

Sure, if it works in a video game, it must work in the real world, right?

Shutting the border only delays the inevitable by a few days/weeks. Either you close everything, all airports, all maritime transport, prevent all people from passing the border, including patrolling huge terrestrial borders, every fucking single thing should be stopped; or there will be a guy with the virus that will pass and spread it at some point. But your country cannot survive without global trade. It doesn't even have enough cheep food to sustain itself. So get over it. Closing the borders might have worked until 1960, like the Berlin wall, but it's obsolete now.

My father died last year at the age of 78 from multiple cancers. He was an (strongly voiced) atheist. He didn't want to see any doctor to grab a few more moments of pain, and he welcomed death. When you are suffering and struggling to do everything, why would you want to continue on forever? I can understand people in their 20s taking the pill, but past 60, the number of people in such a good health that they see themselves going on forever ought to be the minority.
