MAICA - klingt in der Tat etwas wurstig

Nachtrag: Vielleicht wird es aber auch schlicht der Magenta AI call ASSistant

Great.

asking that machine to improve writing is like asking a blender to improve a salad

A counterweight grows as people learn to reappreciate the acerbity of art and words. The ring is poisonous and must be destroyed, but it can unite.

I think the pink ones didn't fare so well in evolutionary terms.

 

Millionen Menschen unterstützten 2015 Geflüchtete – trotz Widerstand. Viele der damals geschaffenen Strukturen bestehen bis heute.

Ich musste in diesem Kontext (und zu vielen anderen) an das Terry Pratchett Zitat aus 'I Shall Wear Midnight' denken: Evil begins when you begin to treat people as things

Personal experience, obviously:

  1. enforce time limits on apps (like 45 min messaging/social per day), e.g. using built-in tools => frees a lot of time
  2. streamline communication, i.e., do not be available 24/7 for mail, chat, etc. Instead, define time windows to check and answer your channels
  3. Use some Pomodore timer [1] to focus on specific tasks for a few hours. Minimize distractions as far as possible in that time window.
  4. Sleep. Working tired is a black hole for time management.
  5. Do sports/seek nature to keep the stress level down.
  6. Plan honest to your capabilities, sometimes the 80% solution will do (yes, this can be hard to accept)
  7. A simple hand-written checkboxed ToDo list per day is helpful, take 5-10 minutes to compile it before your day starts.

There were several incidents (ref. 1), but in particular Fukushima in 2011 changed a lot, as it was a modern type of power plant.

It reignited discussions regarding safety and (under the impression of 9/11) fears that nuclear power facilities could be targeted by terror attacks.

With current regulations new reactors can cost some 20 to 40 billion, making it one of the most expensive sources of electrical energy. Costs for decomissioning are significant as well. Both building and decomissioning costs are typically passed on to tax payers.

Also, permanent storage of used burning rods is hard, nobody wants nuclear waste buried in their neighborhood. Given its half life of ~240 000 years, it may also be difficult to communicate its dangers to future generations (ref. 2).

The currently most common sources of burning material (Uranium) stem from - large parts - politically controverse regions and may in sum last some estimated 80-100 years, quite short given some 10-20 years of construction time per plant.

This is not talking about thorium and salt reactors, but technical challenges and costs seem to be limiting for these technologies, in particular as long as the default infrastructure exists.

edit: the 'new' types are more complex and not suited for weapons in general.
