Honestly, I think the future is a combination of geoengineering and carbon reduction policies.
The earlier we realize this the better. Geo-engineering needs a lot of research to minimize risk and find effective/feasible solutions. I don't think we would have the time when we decide it is suddenly too hot and need a solution now. I'm not sure if it is that the populace at large dose not like geoengineering, or if its just a combination of fear of the unknown and a vocal minority of naturalists, but I think it is for the best we start the conversation now so at least many people can warm up to the idea.
Carbon policy can't be the only solution simply because, not every nation is on board with carbon neutral policies, either because of naivete, arrogance, pressure from public and or private interest groups. Even if we we get every nation onboard with carbon neutrality, what is to say they will stay that way on the next N centuries of election cycles?
This isn't a question pro/against immigration, this is a question of did Tata break existing laws protecting domestic labor.
> If anything, we should change the law to encourage much more high-skill immigration.
I don't think any reasonable person would argue argue against importing highly skilled laborers to increase GDP per capita, that is, to fill a genuine labor shortage that domestic supply cannot fill within a reasonable span of time.
Nah, I think the videos are neat, but I have niche interests in art like datamoshing, algorithmic art and whatever... What I am saying is, if you are trying to pull a Midjourney with video that can be sold as a product (i see you are YC W24), wait a little while and make it more appealing before going public so people get the right idea about your product, and come back to it for more. Right now it seems like it is a little gimmicky.
> We think you can make fun stuff ...
To be brutally honest, don't say "We think you can". It does not matter if you think people will like it. Do people like it? If the average Joe sits down and plays a with the model, will they have a good time?
I'm not trying to be abrasive or rude here, just honest.
> turning it into a training set of images of the character in different poses, shot from different angles.
Something is wrong, it looks like it is just using multiple layers of images/video and cutting back and forth to predetermined combinations of layers...
I would polish the idea a bit more before publishing it or people may think, (quoting your Reddit link) "Looks like stinky doo doo. Don’t quit your day job"
Honestly, they are as difficult as you want them to be. Some parents stress way to much about them hurting themselves in the process.
If you take everything in moderation, they are not that bad at all. There will be a few bad days ofc, but at large my kids are the best thing that happened to me, and I have two at the same age.
Maybe they will pull out of Europe then, but laws are laws and businesses must comply. Whether those lose make sense is another issue.
> As an aside, it’s baffling to me why an aging continent with a sluggish economy would want to start a trade war with its only friend.
This isn't a trade war, there is no competition the EU is trying to bolster. The way I see it they are just being assertive about their market rules, which is refreshing considering other regions tend to get walked over.
I haven't had a breakfast on BC Ferry for a while since they redid the interior/livery on all of the boats. Pretty sure I used to eat the jam packets on the tables.
> I often see other developers/Adkins propose "huge improvements"
Ha I see that too at my group. I try to fight it. But buying a NAS for like few hundred <insert favorite major currency> just seems like common sense. Just buy it, connect it to a VPN, setup regular backps, then forget about it for a decade.
Yes, the purpose of a private business is to turn a profit for its owners, but it's implied that operational incompetency of the owners put the business at risk. Which is laughably short sighted since they used the business to apparently buy a nice car.
A. Someone wants to feel important, and write a book about it. "Read my linkedin post bout vishing... hire me for your workshop"
B. Someone is trying to highten job security. "You cant get rid of me I am the vishing expert"
