Here’s the science: https://www.pik-potsdam.de/en/news/latest-news/possible-nort...

„Under high-emission scenarios, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a key system of ocean currents that also includes the Gulf Stream, could shut down after the year 2100.“

75 years to work on a solution to a possible problem? I rate humanity’s chances. But Europe is responsible for a third of cumulative emissions. Once they undo that bit it should be okay. Negative emissions for 75 years will be hard but they can perhaps undo the damage they’ve done to the Earth.

It is a global challenge. Climate change is caused by rich people in developed countries (the average Indian person causes very low co2 emissions). There are some good initiatives to mitigate climate change, but so far, it is too little, too late. The US taking a back seat does not help either.

How’s it going so far? Greenhouse gas emissions only keep rising. There’s no basis to rate humanity’s chances positively based on actual evidence to date, even despite all the positive developments in renewable energy generation and storage.

I like the original title, „ Flawed economic models mean climate crisis could crash global economy, experts warn“. Why edit it?

I was going to submit it with the title "Flawed economic models mean climate crisis could crash global economy" as the "experts warn" takes it just over the character limit

Still available in Germany („Rechenschieber“), eg https://www.wissenladen.de/products/der-rechenschieber

Maybe it should be „forked“

> In Apple Calendar it's not possible to see the full year, and still have some visibility into which events are happening on the individual days

It‘s weird in general how tools/ websites seem to avoid putting too much information on a screen (see also: event listings, …). Why is that? Most people have big screens nowadays, so it would be feasible to have a view like the one described here, at least for desktop calendars.

So much of the modern web is designed in service to ad revenue. If you optimize a website for usefulness you are losing ad revenue. Every time we force you to click to see another month/week/paragraph we make money.

Some of that is building "mobile-first". If every app needs to be easy to use on small screens with big touch targets first/foremost/always, then anything that takes time to develop and only makes sense for a demographic "desktop users with an ultrawide and effectively all the screen space in the world" gets deprioritized simply because it's a smaller audience; no real malice intended in such cases just over-prioritizing the "needs of the many" over "the desires of a privileged few".

on the other hand, WETI still seems to be up, so you could contribute there.

Don’t live like a rich person in a developed country - they’re the only ones whose co2 footprints are too high.

Power tip: replace the Word docs with Markdown.

Thinking that Markdown is comparable to a Word doc for even most purposes is delusional.

Markdown should work reasonably well for the use case of Confluence pages that have been moved into Word docs.

Interesting! I wonder a) how much of an issue this addresses, ie how much are people worried about privacy when they use other LLMs? and b) how much of a disadvantage it is for Confer not to be able to read/ train in user data.

Hint: The aspect ratio sqrt(2) should be quite convenient for foldable phones. Current ones seem to be more or less square if unfolded - what use case is that good for?

That would make the folded phone too wide though. More like a mini tablet.
