I duno why OP is quoting an article of an article but here is the actual article: https://www.ynetnews.com/business/article/ryc11nok4ee

The Australian Financial Review has reported that the former prime minister has privately blasted as “unconscionable” the Albanese government’s decision to not adjust the threshold each year in line with inflation or wages growth.

Yes

And while other tax policy experts have said while indexation is common, they believe it is virtually impossible that the threshold will not be adjusted over the coming years and decades.

Also yes

feel like this is preaching to the cloud posting this here

I wish some people around here had half the experience you do

adjusted for people who cannot see the difference between free market wage labour in a western economy and literal slavery

it’s hard for people so used to the comforts of capitalism to realise this is actually luxury

being inside, seated comfortably, doing non-manual work, educated, can read, listening to music, this is a job better than 99% of people who have ever lived have had

Slaves who existed before capitalism was even imagined would dream of this WaSTeD LiFe 🤪

a heat pump? an aircon? an antenna? 😖

I agree and disagree

I noticed you missed this first bit 😜

The report argues for increased use of electric vehicles

So looking at the report specifically for the bit I want to see and ignoring everything else:

Electric vehicles powered by low-emissions electricity offer the largest decarbonisation potential for land-based transport, on a life cycle basis (high confidence)

https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg3/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6_WGIII_SummaryForPolicymakers.pdf

I agree with you that it would be nice for places to be more cycle friendly, mainly because:

Roads: $146.8 million

https://www.logan.qld.gov.au/about-council/our-organisation/reports-and-publications/budget-fees-and-charges

Shits expensive, I would love for them to put $146 million towards public transport, mainly trains that run faster than every 30 minutes and don't take a damn hour to get to the city compared to 25 minutes by car and loads more non-road sharing bike lanes/tracks etc

But while Jay mentioned about having great cycling infrastructure in Steeeeeeeeevenage he flicks back to London with the point

But that still left me thinking, who cares if you're in Stevenage, if everywhere has cars and there's no traffic? What's the issue? If cars are powered by renewables so what

That's the one!

Bloomberg spent nearly $1 billion on his three-month presidential campaign

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/bloomberg-spent-nearly-1-billion-his-three-month-presidential-campaign-n1165306

So my next question is:

Just 158 families have provided nearly half of the early money for efforts to capture the White House

Just how effective is advertising in the presidential race when you can spend a billion and go no where?

 

Together with JGI Austria, we’ve focused on a crucial reforestation aspect of the broader project. Our pledge of $100,000 over three years will enable JGI Tanzania to continue its work, saving 360,000 seedlings, and preserving local jobs dedicated to their care. It will ensure 20 tree nurseries can continue growing endemic, native species, including valuable food sources such as avocado, lemon and mango. Once planted, the trees will restore large areas of cleared forest and provide migration corridors and essential habitats for endangered species, including chimpanzees.

 

That's confidence

 

Why can't we do something like this, surely sand is something we have a ton of

 
 

It looks like AI has followed Crypto chip wise in going CPU > GPU > ASIC

GPUs, while dominant in training large models, are often too power-hungry and costly for efficient inference at scale. This is opening new opportunities for specialized inference hardware, a market where startups like Untether AI were early pioneers.

In April, then-CEO Chris Walker had highlighted rising demand for Untether’s chips as enterprises sought alternatives to high-power GPUs. “There’s a strong appetite for processors that don’t consume as much energy as Nvidia’s energy-hungry GPUs that are pushing racks to 120 kilowatts,” Walker told CRN. Walker left Untether AI in May.

Hopefully the training part of AI goes to ASIC's to reduce costs and energy use but GPU's continue to improve inference and increase VRAM sizes to the point that AI requires nothing special to run it locally
