2 problems that intersect. The energy market is an anachronism with base and dispatchable old categories not suitable for renewables as they do not fit.
Then the volatile market or the wild west as its known, is the speculators dream but terrible for everyone else, including patient capital.

Also, how much far right arse kissing and glad handing before someone calls bs on this 'centre left' rubbish? This is Tory government doing austerity, with their 'brain' writing claptrap about chainsaws.

Ok, buying the mice and rats just wanna have fun. But are we sure that the slug didn't just get kind of stuck? And kind of frustrated that it could not get to a leaf it saw just ahead?

Signed and reposted. When will the greedy grasping rich learn they can't eat money?

I remember u saying years ago in a meeting in Manchester what to expect from Blair and his ilk. Same deal here, this is a shit tribute band to Blair's neoliberalism with a side of warmongering necropolitics. Even a cursory look at Starmer's actions and lies before or since 2019 shows who he is.

No all machine learning not the same - I think of them as like energy you can have big-E capital intensive, extractive and world eating, or little-e specific, place and context based. For machine learning this means used for say medical imaging and overseen by a human who knows what the results mean

Who will be your lead author? A literature review is done to understand and synthesise the knowledge and you are farming this out to a energy and water intensive machine prone to errors and hallucination. Bunk science ahoy

Agreed, but more importantly it is the government's (US and UK) behaviour that is the problem - for example spending far more on military industrial nonsense than on dealing with the climate and ecological crisis.

Good point. I would add this overwhelming focus on the symptom - carbon - of the climate and ecological emergency is problematic and allows for the silly idea we just need to swap energy sources.

That was not the main point. But there is a 'theory' theconversation.com/nudge-theory...
And approach that looks dodgy. And I could counter by saying large changes to the environment can have very little behavioral change. It doesn't say much either way.

Fully behind the tech used appropriately but I could save the Gov money by 'nudging' them towards a problem - >50% of UK can't afford an e-bike, and are renters so cannot get the subsidies - I've tried. Also, mention that nudge theory is largely bunk with its leading lights faking their results.

What is your point here? To say humans all as bad as each other and that modern oppressed indigenous groups that do tend to live more in harmony with there environment are basing this a a false history - you think the Western myths are any better? Such as we invented democracy lols
