  • Simpler times back then. We had to hunt, gather, navigate and keep our children safe and fed and that was about it.

    Having an LLM make you a grocery list is stupid unless it’s like a really difficult recipe, but technology in general has been crucial to offload some of the cognitive load. Nowadays we really have to share some of that cognitive load with something else or else we will get burnt out. We can’t keep overclocking a brain that was made for the tasks I mentioned in the first paragraph.


  • You’re looking for emission intensity. The emissions per unit of work, that can be KWh of electricity or GDP of a nation.

    Apparently France has one of the lowest gr CO2 / kWh in the world. The Nordic countries seem to do better because of their massive hydro infrastructure (which also has major implications on water-based ecosystems, but that’s another discussion).

    Countries with more solar and wind are faring much worse, because wind and solar are so unpredictable. So what do they do on quiet winter nights after an overcast day? Fire up the coal and gas powered plants…

    France has less wind and solar than for example Germany, but the same can be said for the Nordic countries, who hardly have any. In fact France has a very ambitious plan to electrify the nation. That includes renewables, but also new NPPs.

    Nuclear waste is also really no pollution. We can store it safely and it’s only dangerous to the immediate surroundings, something which can be nullified by proper shielding.




  • I have a different theory: look at her belly, it’s quite round for the rest of her body, which would an unusual fat distribution for a woman’s body. That and the bottle of bourbon makes me think she may have liver cirrhosis.

    Liver cirrhosis can cause massive amounts of ascites (fluid build up of up to several gallons in the abdomen), which could explain the belly / body discrepancy.

    Now, holding in a regular shit with gallon amounts of water pressure behind it would take some serious sphincter tonus at all times.

    So, tugging the beads vs. someone with an untrained sphincter should be a walk in the park for her.

    Thank you for listening to my TED talk.
