Reduce, reuse, redirect outrage: How plastic makers used recycling as a fig leaf
  • In several European countries, plastic is sorted to be used in incinerators for local heat production.

    Sure, it doesn't count as renewable nor carbon-free energy, but it gets rid of the waste and makes double use of the oil extracted.

  • IDF says assessment shows failed Islamic Jihad rocket launch caused Gaza hospital blast
  • Well, I have some difficulties seeing Hamas or even Fatah participating peacefully to a secular Palestinian government. Two states living next to each other remains the only possible solution for at least a hundreds year. But Israel needs to make concessions to Fatah if one wants a chance to have a long enough peace to starts mending the civil society.

  • EU set to demand e-fuel cars have no climate impact
  • Agreed.

    Our modern social apparatus: education, health, police, justice... contributes about 1.4 teqCO2/person/year. Just our breathing, for a single person, emits about 350kg of CO2/year. This carbon we breath out is accounted for from our food. But you have to understand that it is the absolute minimum a living human being can emit.

    Now, that leaves about 250kg eqCO2/person/year for everything else: housing, heating, leisure, traveling, clothing... if we think we need to stay under 2t eqCO2. This completely impossible.

    Whereas if we were half as many, like 50 years ago, 4t/person/year still enables us to live a modern life.

  • OpenAI’s new AI image generator pushes the limits in detail and prompt fidelity
  • While there is some truth in this, humans and AI do not make the same type of mistakes with hands.

    Humans will rebuild the topological structure of the hand: 5 fingers protruding from a base, and get the proportions wrong..while the topology is credible.

    AI will rebuild the image of a hand from the 2d appearance of a hand: a variable number of flesh colored, parallel stripes, and improvise from that.

    While both can get it wrong, the errors are not similar.

  • Ben, en fait, à chaque fois que je postais depuis kbin, après avoir posté, je tombais sur une erreur du style "sorry, try again later". Du coup, je me suis acharné, en postant depuis mon compte lemmy.world et faisant d'autres tentatives.

    Jusquà ce que je regarde dans mon profil, et que je m'aperçoive que mon post était passé, en fait, et même 8 fois!

    J'ai donc supprimé les 7 autres instances du post et gardé celle-ci.

    C'est mon premier post sur jlai.lu, que je posterai pas sur reddit/r/france. Merci de l'indulgence...

  • Manuel de fonctionnement de l'utilisateur
  • Est-ce une prémonition du logiciel de traduction automatique qui a pondu ce magnifique titre?

    Notre électroménager bardé d'IA viendra-t-il avec un guide permettant au système de mieux nous comprendre?

  • A new report says that ongoing improvements in solar and wind tech will keep driving steep cost declines that make them even more competitive against fossil fuels.
  • Renewables will inevitably become cheaper than fossil fuels, as the resource dwindles. The problem is how to make energy abundant enough to satisfy our current needs and those of the rest of the world, who expects to reach our standards of living?

    (A: it's not possible, nuclear can help, but only for a while, perhaps enough time for the demographic transition to complete)

  • You’re doing it wrong: Recycling and other myths about tackling climate change
  • In general, the price of a good in a competitive market is directly tied to its energy cost (either manual or machine labor), which is itself tied to its carbon footprint. If something is more expensive, it is very likely that its production emitted more GHG, or that you're getting scammed.

    As an exemple, beef is more expensive than chicken, which is itself more expensive than vegetables.

    That's why the best personal action to save on GHG emissions is still to become poorer/reduce your material comfort. Compensate with richer interactions with others and a sense of community.

  • You’re doing it wrong: Recycling and other myths about tackling climate change
  • Also, eating industrial food over organic:

    First because, per calorie produced, organic farming emits 12 to 40% more green house gases.
    (Depending on the study).
    Second, because you'll be less healthy and die sooner.

  • Pour atteindre la neutralité carbone, le "nucléaire seul ne suffira pas", assure le patron de RTE
  • Quand je fais mon bilan CO2 sur le site de l'ADEME, qu'on est sensé arriver à 2t eqco2/personne/an, alors que les services publics prennent 1,4 t, et que le simple fait de respirer émet 350kg/an (CO2 comptabilisé dans la nourriture qu'on consomme): oui, on a besoin de plus que de l'énergie décarbonée, il a falloir couper là où ça fait mal...
