Let's put it like this.

• Natural Gas accounts for 12% of Germany's electricity generation in 2025
• Wind accounts for 30% of Germany's electricty generation in 2025
• Solar accounts for 19% of Germany's electricty generation in 2025
• Biomass accounts for 8.5% of Germany's electricity generation in 2025
• Lignite accounts for 16% of Germany's electricty generation in 2025
• Hard coal accounts for 6% of Germany's electricity generation in 2025
• Other sources (Coal Gas, Incinerator plants, Oil, Hydro) make up less than 8% of electricity generation in 2025

Now you can throw around buzzwords like deindustrialization, or you can look at the actual numbers.

you get a very disorienting "why won't it slow down" feeling, and it's easy to panic.

You don't always even panic. It's weird: if you do something in muscle memory enough, you don't consciously think about doing it. This is why driving etc is smooth because you aren't thinking about every action. When something breaks [see what i did there!] you at best get a creeping feeling of wrongness that takes a while to percolate up to your conscious brain.

I can relate a few anecdotes.

One typically dismounts a bike by first lifting your foot up off the pedal before putting your foot down. After an accident where I slipped off a pedal climbing a hill, I switched to toe clips, which require you to tilt your foot down then slide it up and out. Lifting doesn't work. First time I came to a stop, I toppled over into a puddle while hauling my foot upwards, but not even thinking about it. I wasn't panicking because I hadn't even noticed until I was at about 45 degees at which point I had a brief flash of "oh shi..." before landing in the puddle. But it's funny: lower level part of my brain wanted to lift my foot and just kept applying increasing force to match the requirement, but didn't inform me.

Next (harmless) was on moving to the US. I was driving along and then my partner asked me what was wrong, which confused me. She then asked why I was batting at the door. I had *NO* idea I was doing that. I'd only ever driven a manual on the other side of the road. Based presumably on engine noise etc, my hand was searching continuously for the nonexistent gear stick on the wrong side of the car. The weird thing was it was going all of its own accord. And because nothing had gone really wrong, nothing jogged my low level brain out of that loop, so it was happily searching forever, and my conscious mind was completely unaware.

Third was in winter, wearing heavy boots driving an unfamiliar rental canyonero, and clipped the gas with the side of my boot while braking. The car wasn't slowing properly, and the low level feedback control part of my brain just kept commanding more force, so I kept kitting both pedals ever harder. I got a creeping feeling of wrongness as the car wasn't stopping, but it's basically of the form "why is my limb not working properly".

I then rear ended someone, and I can't remember how I realised what the fuck I was doing. Anyway the guy was really nice.

They might use ADVA (now known as Adtran), which, while technically being owned by an U.S. entity, are developed and build in Meiningen, Germany.

You know, your grandstanding would be funny if it was not so pathetic and clueless. Calling this very basic and very limited discovery "infinite" is really just what an asshole does that cannot admit being wrong.

Actually, you are the ignorant one here because you want to justify your denial. Because scientists are aware they are just human, there are a lot of safeguards in place. The first one being the scientific principle. But I guess you lack insight into what that actually does and why it was created.

This nicely illustrates how deep your ignorance goes. This is not why these studies are done. The reason they are done is to refine and get more detail. That will be invaluable for evaluating the impact of things that could still be done and to prepare for the effects.

I am sure if we continue to apply the fundamental principles of "greed", "arrogance", "selfishness" and "stupidity", we can make 4C or even more!

"Compete" with what, that's no flying car, that's an oversized quadcopter drone that can probably stay in the air all of 15 minutes.

Never gonna happen. Full price was before 10 years of decay and rodent infestation + neighborhood gone to shit. Nevertheless, high supply, low demand is supposed to result in low prices.

One, how so if the agreement is ownership in common. And two, how is it worse than it all being owned by a (land)lord who rakes in the better part of the profit while considering herding animals to be beneath him?

Sounds like you drank the cool aid.

There is now only one way to "deal with it" and it is a massive war.

It is in the making, too.

A slight nuclear winter leaving 50-100 million in small pockets here and there is how it will all end.

At least we saw the best years of the huge manatee.

You must live a sheltered life in your long dead mom's basement.

Literally everywhere things have gone from bad to worse.

New deserts are forming apace in Southern Europe and in Central Europe snow is now a rarity.

Asia is turning into a sweltering hell in the summers, India is enjoying gulf-desert temperatures.

Tree species are dying out, and with them all the wildlife they hosted.

Model projections of the 90s (30 years ago) have been proven correct:

Lucky you who have no kids and grandkids to worry about.

Indeed, it is not a 4C rise... Yet.

But with the new policies of the trumpistan that goal is now also within easy reach.

The old people have doomed the future - they've always tried, but this is the first time they had the technological means to make it happen.

Good jorb, I guess.

Wrote and tweaked a video generation prompt multiple times until it produced something resembling a usable output = "Low effort AI slop."

Film yourself acting like you're high on speed with your phone's selfie camera while ranting about someone putting lobster tails on an EBT card at Walmart = "Such amazing content creator skillz!"

I suppose I just have a different definition of what constitutes "low effort".

They deported her back to Sweden. It seems like lately she's more concerned with her pro-Palestine efforts than environmental activism. Honestly, it strikes me as an odd pivot since climate change is a global issue - people not getting along in the middle east is just business as usual.
 

For training data yeah. Llms are worthless without training data.

Tables are not knowledge. They are data. They are "basics" for nothing knowledge-wise. What they do is they produce a nice, meaningless rote-learning exercise that can be examined easily to produce an entirely meaningless grades. They are nothing but a waste of time and create a false impression of "something having been learned". Hence, no, we have absolutely no issue if a kid cannot answer "12x11" from _memory_. If an older kid cannot find out what 12x11 is or does not see that it is somewhere "a bit more than 100" and accepts a false result that is one order of magnitude (or more) off, then we have an issue.

It is fascinating how many people mistake data memorization for "learning". Obviously, when you teach actual understanding, then most kids do not do so well. May explain why worthless memorization is still a favorite of many "teachers". May also explain why Math teaching fails routinely and most people fear Math. Math is actually very easy on this level.
