You and all the companies training their AI models, like Meta for example

he consumed only vitamins, electrolytes, an unspecified amount of yeast (a source of all essential amino acids) and zero-calorie beverages such as tea, coffee, and sparkling water, although he occasionally added milk and/or sugar to the beverages, especially during the final weeks of the fast.

Worth mentioning imo, but you are right that most people should be fine fasting for some days if necessary. Although I would bet that almost everyone has a few days of food anyways. Unless you literally have empty shelves and buy groceries every day, most people will have a base stock of shelf stable foods like noodles, canned stuff, sugar, flour and so on.

Imo the limiting factor will be drinkable water most of the time. If something would cut off the supply immediately and for longer durations it would be a serious issue. Especially during warmer months.

Agreed. I hope this gains even more traction. Building a digital economy around support and service of free open source software with the requirement of personnel being local seems like the best way for Europe to finally become competitive.

My understanding would be:

• Probabilities: Chance of a certain outcome happening. E.g. Outcome A has a 70% chance B a 20% and C 10%

• Possibilities: what outcome scenarios exist. E.g. there exist 3 (A B C). Those Possibilities might have a probability associated with them

• Plausibility: looks at the degree of truth of a statement. So if it logically makes sense and is the correct answer/is what happened. You might make a judgement of the plausibility of a possibility based on the probability of it happening. Say if something has two outcomes one with a 99% chance and the other 1% then that might be the more plausible one. Or if it has no chance, then it might be implausible

Edit: since someone mentioned the example of a coin toss.

Head and tails have a probability of 50% each (for the sake of simplicity I assume it won't land standing up)

A coin toss has two possible outcomes (possibilities). Head and tails.

Someone says he flipped a coin and got head 1000 times in a row. That's not plausible with a fair coin because of the low chance of it actually happening (even if there is a indefinitely small chance). As a result you might assume he is either lying or the coin is weighted for that outcome.

That reminds me of this Tom Scott video, which shares a somewhat similar idea.

Well part of this is because Europe is in fact heating up faster than the world average

Global mean temperature between 2015 and 2024 was 1.24 to 1.28°C warmer than the pre-industrial level, which makes it the warmest decade on record. European land temperatures have increased even faster over the same period by 2.19 to 2.26°C, depending on the dataset used. European environment agency

Stein des Anstoßes: das horrende Honorar des Nachlassverwalters Robin Brühmüller von mehr als 200 Millionen Euro – gemäß der 1,5-Prozent-Regelung, die nach der Tabelle des Deutschen Notarvereins vorgesehen ist.

Mal abgesehen davon, dass eine Änderung des Erbrechts notwendig ist, dass Superreiche endlich mal ihren fairen Anteil bezahlen, ist das Notarwesen auch dringend reformbedürftig.

Ich weiß nicht zu welchen Grad Notare z.b. persönlich haftbar sind für Fehler, dass man die Kosten auf Prozentbasis kalkulieren muss, aber auch das Risiko wäre ja nicht nach oben hin offen. Worst case bliebe immer die Privatinsolvenz.

Zumindest die grundlegende Notarfunktion sollte meiner Meinung nach einfach vom Staat angeboten werden.

For many a trip to the US from Europe is a major event. I'd imagine that many people planned their trips last year before Trump was even reelected and had already invested a lot of money, at which point sunk fallacy plays a role.

I also think that for many it still hasn't registered that they are now also at risk and it's not just the classic family guy meme anymore, where it's based on skin colour.

With how reliant we, as a society, have become on digital things the two are connected. Not just for internet access to browse lemmy on our phones, but also for more fundamental parts like managing our increasingly more complex power grids and logistic chains. The article already mentions some of the reasons already.

Recent sabotage/accidents destroying undersea cables have shown how vulnerable crucial links are and how easily they can be destroyed. Satelite connections can be a good (and harder to disrupt) fallback option. On the military side Starlik has shown how crucial it can be in the war in Ukraine, and at the same time the dangers of it being controlled by someone like Elon Musk. Do we in Europe really want this dependence? With advances in satelite imagery and better internet connections satelites networks will also become increasingly more important for the economy. Again, do we want to rely on others for this fundamental part of infrastructure?

Europe must become "a space power once again, with France at its heart," he said.

This however frustrates me. Because as much as i think Macron in many ways has the right mindset that Europe needs to step up and act like its size, the "with France at its heart" part is exactly why it won't happen. As long as individual contries have this selfish attitude and try to claim as much as possible for themselves instead of cooperating and putting the collective first, it just won't happen.
