🇵🇱 According to IMF estimates Poland GDP per capita may overtake:

- Japan and Italy by 2029
- Canada and UK by 2032
- Germany by 2039

Of course many things can happen but Poland and the Intermarium are in a crucial economic and geopolitical shift.

You can’t hold a computer accountable not because it isn’t sentient, but because “accountability” doesn’t improve future computer performance the way it does human performance.

BREAKING: Germany will provide Marder infantry fighting vehicles to #Ukraine️. We’ll also join the U.S. in supplying an additional Patriot air defense battery.

@POTUS and @Bundeskanzler are determined to provide Ukraine with the support that’s necessary, for as long as needed.

When Russia began its war of aggression against Ukraine, Germany's energy imports from Russia looked like this:

Gas: 55%
Coal: 50%
Oil: 30%

As of 2023, they look like this:

Gas: 0%
Coal: 0%
Oil: 0%

(% of imports from Russia)

Hard-Line Position…by Ukraine? Asking a genocidal power to leave your territory is not hardline. https://t.co/GqCCjYY52i

@whataboutthism @Schmidtlepp In diesem Fall haben wir uns als Gesellschaft ja schon auf viele grundlegende Dinge geeinigt wie das Recht der körperlichen Unversehrtheit, der Tierschutz, Umweltschutz, etc. Warum ist das einmal im Jahr plötzlich irrelevant?

Finally finished “Andor.” Incredible. I’d like to think this writers’ room was a running parodic rebuke of how terrible “Star Wars” dialogue has traditionally been (“I’m so in love with *you.*”) We have here Mamet and Stoppard with laser guns. Pew-pew.

This video was really eye opening for me in terms of how bad a lot of text-oriented websites are on screen readers (HN at 6:27, reddit at 8:01):

Of course image-heavy sites without alt text are bad, but it turns out text-heavy sites can be bad too.

Understanding what is behind the painfully high CPI inflation is key to understanding where it is headed and when. This table should help with this. The Russian invasion and spike in oil and other commodity prices is the #1 reason, followed by the pandemic & the housing shortage.

As you become an adult, you realize that things around you weren't just always there; people made them happen. But only recently have I started to internalize how much tenacity *everything* requires. That hotel, that park, that railway. The world is a museum of passion projects.

“We find that climate models published over the past five decades were generally quite accurate in predicting global warming in the years after publication.”
