@xdNiBoR @rashidlasker @xdNiBoR what solution do you propose? I think a verified only x would be nice but it seems impractical?

Given that the most valuable audience is primarily Americans, it's obvious where that line is.
As a European talking about space, what am I supposed to do? Talk about ESA in my native language for the 6 people that are interested?
I'm not trying to fake being an American or trying to influence US politics yet people like me would be affected the most. (I think, we might never know)
English
there is a very clear line between the people who are for this and those who are against it

Starting Thursday, we'll be updating our revenue sharing incentives to better reward the content we want on X: We will be giving more weight to impressions from your home region—to encourage content that resonates with people in your country, in neighboring countries and people who speak your language. While we appreciate everyone's opinion on American politics, we hope this will disincentivize gaming the attention of US or Japanese accounts and instead, drive diverse conversations on the platform. We invite creators to start building an audience locally. X will be a much richer community when there's relevant posts for people in all parts of the world.

Elon has a great way of explaining this. He says: "My way of dealing with mental problems is to make sure you really care about what you're doing and take the pain."
I think it's so funny that the most productive person on earth does zero meditation or journaling and doesn’t optimize his morning routine.
He wakes up and picks up his phone and goes to war. Every day. That's his routine.
He goes to war.

Reinforcing negative neural pathways via therapy or introspection is a recipe for misery. Don’t cut a rut in the road.

@PastorMarvy Perhaps it was because they saw how easily the US & Israel killed all the top Iranian leadership, and didn’t want the same fate?

Why China chose not to take over Taiwan in this window still eludes me.

Elon looking at this like Damn I didn’t first principle hard enough

Jeffrey Emanuel@doodlestein
The way the two separate bots come together to pick up the box is pretty clever. That’s the kind of thing that would be very tough to model using classical robotics inverse kinematics. Deep neural nets are really the perfect abstraction for robotics.

This basic concept is kryptonite to a leftist.
It's their per capita.

Almost impossible to tell, at 1st glance, whether a woke or a racist wrote something.

Big announcement from @TerraformIndies sounds like we’re about to see the first ever full solar to synthetic gas demo plant

X was going to change their monetization program to emphasize local content, for example if content is about U.S. politics to get paid it would need to be from the U.S. or a neighbor. Then Elon realized all of MAGA is based in Nigeria, Pakistan and Eastern Europe.

An important thing for Canada to reckon with:
- if solar and batteries are cheaper than gas, should one:
A. Use both, requiring massive expensive gas infra, or
B. Build somewhere with a regular, warm, sunny climate (equatorial etc)
Perhaps the biggest danger to Canada’s fossil moat is anywhere near the equator getting their shit together haha.
Texas is actually a big competitor in this regard.

Canada has the potential to become something genuinely worth building toward: a pluralist democracy that proves abundance and good values are not opposites, that a country can be compassionate, institutionally serious, and ambitiously prosperous at the same time. That future rests on a foundation of affordable, abundant energy.
English
@SpencerFernando It can, but the former will most likely be hugely disruptive to the latter, hence the challenge.
English
@LeonMilner I think the latter can help achieve the former.

I think this is an important ambition. But it should be sustainable abundance, which makes the vision extremely hard to achieve in Canada. (Still worthwhile though!)

@chuckmckinnon @lucyhargreaves4 Like if it’s $11k per employee to set up, you’d have to hire someone at $100k and they’d only need to set up like 10 ppl per year. So like just having a paper payroll system would actually still be like 100X cheaper?
English
@LeonMilner @lucyhargreaves4 I encountered this at an oil company on a smaller scale: their homegrown time-tracker & payroll app came in 2.5x over budget, & I calculated that for the price of the *original* estimate they could have subscribed to a commercial app for a century. 🤷♂️

@mr_james_c Yeah is anyone proposing using batteries to meet winter demand? This is retarded so I doubt anyone is proposing it. Sounds like a straw man to me.
English
The battery capacity to provide Britain with 2 weeks of electricity during winter would cost more than £2tn. Which is 20x the cost of building enough nuclear power stations to provide all the UK's electricity needs.
William Oakley@WillTatton
@Jimmyrinse1 @MorganE07969703 @7Kiwi Batteries are a really cheap way to benefit the grid, but I'm just talking about being able to move power efficiently so we don't have to turn off perfectly good wind farms. Did you really expect our grid built in the 60s to last forever?

I'm just glad that human history is almost over because imagine trying to teach school kinds in the future about all the idiocy going on now.

@MarcusH_01 lol Ukraine was doesn’t qualify?
This Soviet fall off is still happening imo

Genuinely wtf how did one side of the Cold War just completely die without any mass violence or anything
Like I know the whole historical context but it’s still WILD to me that the Soviet Union and entire Eastern Bloc just peacefully died
