True! Maybe its just a slowdown or the first clear signs of incoming collapse of these ressources? Though, domestic land is already accelerating again over the last year, so it will be on par again with its previous high.

And this ensemble is only a collection of some KPI, there are additional ones I guess which will show similar upwards-trend.

If you would start to re-rollout nuclear, Uranium will be consumed within 10-20 years by all participants. In most countries, nuclear supplied usually a small but stable fragment of the overall energysupply.

Companies are building entire internal workflows on Claude & its tooling. One day, these companies will be superdependent on Anthropic, then they can call whatever price they want (until a theoretical maximum)

do you know of any politician in charge who is doing anything/whatever-at-least-one-thing right?

OT: Is this the official Polymarket account? :-D

So they are attracting people who want to bet on losses & profits of companies before IPO? How could society get here? :-D

Impressive video, thanks for sharing

In the long run, there will be two AI winners:

- Google will win the retail/free AI space and they can afford to offer Gemini for free for ever

- Anthropic will win Enterprise AI, but at very high costs and based on the dependency of their customers onto them, after the trap snaps: I expect a Claude seat for 1000+/month

Let us put the Servers with the Blockchain into Space, so we can be sure the net worth status is stored really really save? :-D

> night trains in Europe

That company from austria seems quite successfull, IIRC?

2 degree global warming means 5-6 degree more in new york (as the average mean temperature is meassured also above oceans/mountaints etc.) - and you can now ask yourself if you still want to live in NY when its 5-6 degree warmer than today?

The paradigm was:

Renewables will be that fast in roll-out and much cheaper and then other countries will follow the path.

(which is funny, since China installed more solar in 2024/2025 than US+EU combined - so for them its working, in the beginning they were adptors, now they became shapers; same for africa: now a real option to get cheap energy, the only region where solar is more expensive than it should be, is actually EU + US)

Nuclear is not an option, esp most countries with nuclear do import their uranium primarily from one country...

with fusion you would have enough energy to do it?

I highly recommend this graphic to everyone:

https://globaia.org/_astro/GA_1750-2024_DARK2.CKx3duw8_ZQd9m...

It lists 24 socio-ecological KPI across the planet since industrialisation beginning - as you can see:

There is not a single KPI where the curve shows even the slightest sign of recovery - and you can expect other graphs of adjacent KPI to show similar development.

In one sentence: There is no chance that humanity will ever come back to any pre-industry levels within the next 500 years. And by overusing our environment, our civilisation wont last 500 years. (sure, some hotspots will survive, but they wont have ASML Twin:Exe machines or cheap flight travel anymore etc.)

Let us be neighbours, so we can play a little bit Counter Strike or Q3A :-))

I would buy a small house near forrest & mountains.

I really like this conspiracy behind this story/tale!

If you belive in such stories, it may explain why humans are so focused on Gold, and not other precious metals, which are much more rare.

The idea behind the story is just great, isnt it? The idea of whatever space travelling species to come here to mine for gold with human "robots" is really cool. While they could have landed on asteroids which much more Gold-per-ton, they chosed earth because the bio machines available here didnt need any "outer planetary" maintenance or refills?

:-D

edit: and they can replicate easily given enough environment, so you do not need spareparts when e.g. a disk fails?

LOL

Massivly surprised to see a link to this storyline/paradigm here on HN, great!

Cheers! :-))

Well, those things are illegal in most countries, according to my understanding?

The thing is, proof to catch the offender, which will be hard in mega corps?

"Come, get some"

:-D

You could pay 70 bucks on top to get sedation, so you do not experience anything. And for most people it makes the next 4-5 days much easier.

Regarding Wisdom Teeth:

The thing is, even if they not bother you currently, they are usually forcing a lot of preassure onto the others, so the lining may be problem in some years. And the preassure can really destroy your teeth line over 2 - 3 years.

The first guy was clearly unqualified and/or a scammer.

Sorry, then at least one of them or maybe all are not good/qualified:

- there are clinical parameters what is OK / not OK and needs treatment, other stuff for upgrading like veneers are in a different bag. But those are good examples: While quite expensive and revenue driving, a good dentist wont try to sell them to you because with prep-veneers the teeth will get "damaged" by taking of 0.1mm from their surface, thus hurting natural material - and a good dentist tries to preserve everything natural as long as possible, unless he/she is a scammer.

You are right:

Im getting old :-D

It dook Duke3D around 2.5 Min to load all the MIDI samples into the soundcard RAM during startup, if you forgot that pain already? :-D

I guess thats one of the reasons of the success of Minecraft?

yes

IIRC,didnt had Doom et al some caps with the FPS?

The thing is, back then CPU were super slow and more complex software renderers were actually not useable/available

....and it always sucked, sucks currently and will suck in the future. For several reasons.

The market clearly decided the tech. And yes, for I felt Comanche'94 was just uggly and "bricky"
