@aiven_io Hi I'm trying to set up Postgres with you (from @ElephantSQL) but your Node.js docs are insufficient: "self-signed certificate in certificate chain" issue although following your docs.

Also can't login to your Forum, broken: Authorize Aiven Community → 404.

⚡️🚘BREAKING: For the first time ever, more than half of cars sold in China last month were electric

New-energy vehicles, including EVs and PHEVs, reached a record-high 51.1% of retail sales in July, according to data from the China Passenger Car Association

EVs are already noticably trimming China's oil demand: Just the increase in EVs on the road since last year shaved ~4% off transport fuel demand:

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Basic Income since 2013. Here's a list of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments, unconditional cash transfer studies, and cash dividend research.

The data speaks for itself.

Incredible historical document here: Blinken says Israel’s PR is failing because social media allows people a direct look at what’s happening, shorn of the ability to mediate it, and it lands with emotional resonance. Romney then says yes, that’s why we moved to ban TikTok

For years now, @Janefonda & others have called upon @Chase to stop investing in climate genocide.

But $JPM Chase has continued, and as of 2022, has funneled $434.15 billion USD into fossil fuels since the 2015 Paris Accords.

Where are the Nuremberg trials for climate murderers?

Twenty years ago, the idea that the world was becoming uninsurable was one of our big themes on Worldchanging — and one of the major reasons I began talking about a "brittleness bubble."

Today, we find ourselves in "the uninsurable world."

I’d argue that precision and predictability runs counter to what we perceive as human level intelligence. Imagine interacting with a person that always responded to the same question with the exact same words.

[Tom Söderlund @tomsoderlund]

AI, intelligence & precision:

AI can handle more complex problems than computers previously could, but lacks precision and predictability.

🧵

[Tom Söderlund @tomsoderlund]

Perhaps it is a compromise built into the very concept of intelligence? With increased complexity comes decreased precision.
