The equivalent of bloatware on PCs, laptops and phones. Just more energy consumed without tangible universal benefits. That AI can drive this usage with such marginal value-add such as in medical research is scandalous.
Relying on dubious AI driven research with all its biases doesn't bode well.

How is increasing gas capacity giving energy security? If anything it increases energy dependency.
Weaning us off fossil fuel use would give us energy independence.

If the person cycling ran into it with e.g. head down, could break their neck and die.
I broke my neck by running into a stationary bus, driver taking a break in the hard shoulder of a dual carriageway, about 40 years ago. I was very lucky not to die.

Concrete culverts I hear are in fashion with @opwireland.bsky.social
Rather than managing the water through upstream initiatives such as overflow ponds.
Reminds me of king Canute. We can't hold back the tide, just manage it.

The assumption being that the people living in the city only move by car and that they don't spend their $ in local businesses?
Seems the complete flip of the lived experience of living in city centres in Europe.

Another example of parking allocation for peak use periods such as Christmas... utterly wasteful of urban land.

One of the notable aspects of places like Denmark is that supermarkets are rarely more than a few hundred metres away in the suburban areas while city areas have even more.
Many small supermarkets rather than giant ones on outskirts of towns as in Anglo-centric car cultures.

Most likely where they are using the TPO legislation around protection of individual trees. There are a very limited number in DLR, and you'd be surprised at how many 200yr+ trees are not protected from developers.

Until the Fed assesses climate change as a material Financial Risk to the US economy, Americans will continue to socialise the costs.
Do annual gross indirect costs, not just those insured, have to hit $1 trillion for them to act or should they prudently act now based on climate risk models?
