In the US, publicly funded organizations are required to code their PDF with semantic structure to support machine access by screen readers and other assistive technologies [1], [2].
Given the low adherence to accessibility standards e.g. in academic publishing [3], LLM parsing needs creating a commercial incentive for comparable structured access would be marvelous.
What does it mean to say you get lower labor cost and government subsidy issues? Are you saying the tariffs are disproportionate to the impact of the subsidies? Temporary price distortions eliminate competition, not encourage it.
What if veganism is not about optimizing the human experience? To me it sounds cruel to say that there is no harm in milking a cow, pretty sure that milk was meant for someone else.
Absent considerations about identities being stored by third parties, what is the downside of targeted ads? I found myself wishing for more targeted ads after listening to yet another random fast food ad the other day.
I agree, life does not need to have become worse for the narratives reflected in this analysis to have become wise to the complexities of global society.
[…] the meltdown in Harrisburg in 1979, the Super-Gau in Chernobyl in 1986. The answer of the then Union-led federal government: Helmut Kohl creates a Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety. Also a demonstrative sign to the Greens, who first entered the Bundestag in 1983, with the clear demand for an immediate construction and operation stop to all nuclear power plants.
One argument I believe is that younger populations have shown interest in change. Assuming that holds true, it’s interesting to speculate about how demographic changes in western economies will undermine their impulses, as increasingly older populations will be less and less inclined to embrace change.
The radiative forcing from anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere (if the negative forcing of aerosols is accounted for) amounts to up to 1000 Terawatts (TW). This compares to 20 TW of annual human energy production. CO2 removal using heat engine technology is destined to be a drop in the bucket.
Why sun mirrors? Mirrors facing the sun add to the earth’s albedo and thus contribute to a net heat energy loss in the atmosphere (which is why it’s being proposed to counteract warming impacts today). I must be misunderstanding sun-mirrors as referenced in this story.
