Do you have the calculations for thar 15%? I’d love to fact check it.
Quick search didn’t found me that report from the iae. You should probably pass me a link so I can fact check it too.
My country is not the USA, we do not have those ridiculous parking places that you guys have. Still renewables takes a ridiculous amount of space. I shall now as the land where I grew up is totally changed due wind power installations. And we are at 30% renewable generation. I fear to think what would become of this land if it was a 100%
You really need to stop following political dogmas, and start thinking.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 1 hour ago:
Fact: that is a fake statement.
Nuclear is not renewables competition.
Nuclear provides a base line energy production.
Both renewables and fossils produce a variable production line.
So within a rational production scheme the choice is nuclear+renewables or fossils+renewables. As renewables by themselves cannot work. Because there is months over the year when it’s not sunny, not rainy and not windy enough, what do we do for those months? We close humanity during those months because some political dogma says so?
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 1 hour ago:
Fact: renewables take more land, that could be used for other purposes.
Fact: renewables by themselves cannot, and I mean CANNOT, be used alone. Unless you are willing to have a ridiculous over-provision. They depend on weather and have massive seasonal divergences. You need a base line power production to have a rational generation scheme.
Fact: nuclear have a higher cap for total production than renewables. As humanity needs more and more and more energy renewables (even destroying all our usable land) won’t be enough.
Fact: no everyone that doesn’t share your opinion is an “astrosuftist lobby” some of us can also think by ourselves. And some of us can ever think above the dogma of our political school of choice.

I like the topic system. Allows to post and see without worries of duplication.

The problem is that the niche community exist. In fact it probably exists several times, one in each instance with a small number of followers. Which makes really hard to go and decide in which community you want to invest.
It’s one fundamental problem of federative systems and to be solved some of the federal nature need to be partially given away, but I think is necessary. I propose two solutions:
- Automatic merging of communities. All communities with the same name within a federation are de facto replicated. So a post in any community just replicate in all. It will make it seem like there’s only one community.
2 Discourage. Everytime you try to create a community that already exists in other instance a pop up appears that encourage you to just go to the other community. For already duplicated communities messages are sent to concentrate in the biggest one.

Last time I got stung by a wasp I was just standing on the street. Not a nest to be seen anywhere.
It came out of nowhere, stung me and got away. I stood there for a couple of hours after that and it never came back, not other wasp. So surely it didn’t care I was there, it just wanted to fuck with me for no reason.

I don’t do baby talk because I just don’t like it. Not to babies not to animals.
I do find baby talk irritating, but to each their own. As long as they don’t say anything to me for no baby talking I won’t say anything for those who baby talk.

Not with bees not.
Eating plant based sugar will kill and harm more animals that bee produced sugar.
Or you think that agricultural process does not kill bugs?
- Comment on Honey 4 weeks ago:
Now I’m just curious.
How do you manage the amount of animals that are hurt during agricultural process then?
Tons of invertebrates are killed by pesticides, while harvest or during the cleaning process of the vegetables.
- Comment on Honey 4 weeks ago:
Most indian population is definitely not vegan. there have been various surveys that show the percentage of the vegetarian population is between 23% and 37%. That means 63% to 77% are non-vegetarian. It’s a myth, a big one, that India is mainly a vegetarian country.
Not even the majority of Indians are vegetarians, much less vegans.

Bees can kill their queen and make a new one no problem.
If the colony would want to move away they would just do that. I don’t think clipping the queen wings would do nothing.
But I doubt any honey colony would want to move as they are keep at a perfect environment so they can produce more honey that they would actually need to survive.

Public free chatbots go up and down. Until recently I was finding Microsoft copilot to give the best answers. But they downgraded it recently, probably to much cost to keep it at that level, and now I’m finding openAI direct website to give best results… for now.
I just hope for a good enough self hosted model to be available before all the comercial ones shut up over a paywall/adwall for good (which is definitely coming sooner than later).

How to clean a rescued pidgeon
ChatGPT:
Cleaning a rescued pigeon should be done carefully to avoid stressing or harming the bird. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you:
1. Assess the Pigeon’s Condition
- Check for injuries: If the pigeon is injured, weak, or sick, it’s best to seek veterinary help before attempting to clean it.
- Observe behavior: If the pigeon is acting stressed or aggressive, you may need to wait until it calms down.
2. Prepare the Cleaning Area
- Warm water: Fill a basin or sink with lukewarm water, not hot or cold.
- Mild soap: Use a gentle soap or baby shampoo without strong fragrances or chemicals.
- Towels: Have clean towels ready for drying the pigeon afterward.
3. Handling the Pigeon Safely
- Wear gloves: This can protect both you and the bird.
- Secure hold: Hold the pigeon gently but firmly. Support its body with one hand and keep its wings close to its body to prevent flapping.
4. Cleaning the Pigeon
- Partial cleaning: Focus on specific dirty areas rather than submerging the whole bird if possible.
- Use a damp cloth: For lightly soiled areas, use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe the feathers gently.
- Bath for heavier dirt: If a full wash is needed, place the pigeon in the water up to its chest. Avoid getting its head and neck wet unless absolutely necessary.
5. Rinsing
- Rinse thoroughly: If you used soap, make sure to rinse all of it out of the feathers using clean, lukewarm water.
- Avoid the face: Be careful not to get water in the pigeon’s eyes, nose, or ears.
6. Drying the Pigeon
- Pat dry: Gently pat the pigeon with a towel to remove excess water. Avoid rubbing as it could damage the feathers.
- Warm place: Keep the pigeon in a warm, draft-free area until it is completely dry. You can use a hairdryer on the lowest setting if the pigeon tolerates it, but keep it at a safe distance to avoid overheating.
7. Post-Cleaning Care
- Observe behavior: Watch the pigeon for signs of stress or discomfort after the bath.
- Provide food and water: Ensure the pigeon has access to fresh water and a safe, comfortable place to rest.
Additional Tips
- Do not use strong disinfectants or chemicals that can harm the bird’s sensitive skin and feathers.
- Limit baths to when absolutely necessary, as frequent cleaning can strip the natural oils from the pigeon’s feathers.
If the pigeon seems injured or unwell, contact a wildlife rescue center or avian veterinarian for guidance.

If AI image generation is so bad why we have so many etsy and patreon artists complaining about it?
If no one would use it because it is so bad why would anyone care that it is trained on their products?
Do you know this joke about MAGA and the Schrodinger’s immigrant? They somehow believe that immigrants are both stealing people jobs and lazy and living on wellfare.
AntiAI bros are somehow similar. AI is at the same time stealing artists jobs and completely useless incapable of producing nothing that people would want.
- Comment on Nobel Prize 2024 4 weeks ago:
Then you have a choice.
Option 1. Halt scientific and technological progress and be robbed anyway because if capitalists do not get more money out of tech they are getting it out of making you work more hours for less money.
Option 2. End capitalism.

Generative AI is part to AI. And it has its own merits. Very big merits. Like or not it is a milestone on the field. That it is mostly hated not because it doesn’t work but because it does.
- Comment on Nobel Prize 2024 4 weeks ago:
It has been called like that since the 50s were it could do literally nothing because computer power wasn’t enough. It is the field that leads to an artificially created intelligence. We never had any issues with the name. No need for a rebrand.
- Comment on Nobel Prize 2024 4 weeks ago:
The whole “all AI bad” is disconnected and primitivism.
John J. Hopfield work is SCIENCE with caps. A decade of investigations during the 80s when computational power couldn’t really do much with their models. And now it has been shown that those models work really good given proper computational power.
Also not all AI is generative AI that takes money out of fanfic drawers pockets or an useless hallucinating chatbot. Neural networks are commonly used in science as a very useful tool for many tasks. Algo image recognition is nowadays practically a solved issue thanks to their research. Proteins folding. Dataset reduction. Fluent text to speech. Speech recognition… AI may be getting more track nowadays because the generative AIs (that also have their own merit, like or not) but there is much more to it.
As any technological advance there are shitty use cases and good use cases. You cannot condemn a whole tech just for the shitty uses of some greedy capitalists. Well… you can condemn it. But then I will classify you as a primitivist.
Scientific theory that resulted in practical applications useful to people is why the nobel prize was created to begin with. So it is a well given prize. More so than many others.
