@MoreBirths@PTBwrites Makes sense. Got 3 kids, would only barely manage 2 if I was not working from home. Extra kid implies huge financial opportunity loss if working from office:
Time lost commuting + office hour constraints make it really tough for both parents to keep working + raise kids.
@loggyrhythm@RampCapitalLLC I havent seen anyone mention the amount of time spent eating.
It's inversely correlated to the obesity rate it seems.
When we do not have time to eat we have to prioritize calorie intake, when we have time we can diversify our food.
@RichardGage_911 So I asked chatgpt and it has a pretty convincing explanation:
"can you draw a 4 part diagram detailing the multiple steps of the collapse?"
@MindEnjoyer astronomy: study of large physical bodies
biology: study of small physical bodies
history: study of behavior of large human systems
psychology: study of behavior of small human systems
@dylanleclair The problem is that a marginal tax rate of 55% is fairly quickly reached, so when accounting for a currency that's devaluating quickly gains on bitcoin are actually pretty insignificant.
A 2x gain in JPY over 3y of 30% yen devaluation would yield only 8% net gain in $ !!
@jburnmurdoch I am thinking there could be positive feedback loops at play:
- online algorithms and groups select for like-minded people, enforcing their preconceived belief
- seeing one part of the population going to the extreme make some people join the other extreme as a form of balancing
@RogueMon3y@itsmaxdemarco@jameslavish@PrestonPysh Definitely one of the best places to live. Making EUR is good but it might not last long. Europe econony is Japanifying (older population, low birth rates, lack of natural resources)
@kurumuz@dvassallo not sure the issues were in third party dependencies or your own code but there are ways to keep the javascript code optimized. Optimized JS code (which almost exclusively consists in keeping object property structure intact) can run 10x faster than non-optimized js code.
@levelsio IQ is a statistical measure, I dont think we ever had enough humans to get some significant results beyond an IQ of 200.
But anyway, GPT-5 might reach that level when it comes to Verbal IQ. It doesnt seem close to super-human level when it comes to logical reasoning though
@MoreBirths Australia, NZ and the US are among the top in fertility rate of developped countries, they also were at the bottom early 20th century.
Is there a link between population overshoot during the 20th century and demographic choc in 21st century?
@historyinmemes it seems that major life-threatening geological events out number life-threatening meteors 5 to 1 and are likely much more difficult to avoid
@historyinmemes silver lining of global warming is we now know we have the ability to change the climate and therefore potentially counter-act future climate related apocalypse through geo-engineering (exception of the meteor)
@Rheiji1@jburnmurdoch there are productivity gains but they are about 1%/year, population increase is also 1%/year.
Energy/capita has been flat for 50 years, about when sentiment has shifted, coincidence?
Energy production strongly correlates with gdp, another coincidence?
