El Nino warmed the earth more back then relative to average temperatures than it currently is now.

What we need to do is all stop buying next day delivered pieces of plastic produced in Chinese factories. Boycotting Temu and Amazon and shopping at your local stores is the one massive thing the average person can do to help the planet.

> this is the worst El Niño ever recorded

Consistency doesn't seem your strong point, in language as well as factually!

I stand by my point, this is currently not unprecedented. You are welcome to disagree, but as you keep saying 'We dont have the numbers' then you cant be sure just as much as you are saying I cant.

Lets not speculate, currently there have been worse ones in the past. If this eventually becomes more extreme then yes it will become a big talking point, but it is not there yet.

But at midnight last night it was generating 0%.

It is a well known issue that renewables can never provide 100% of the grids requirements because of peaks and troughs, and inefficiencies of storage.

Everyone who states this idea that solar is the saviour never seems to mention the manufacturing chain which requires a TON of energy and chemical processing, and the waste when the panels are no longer efficient enough or past their useful life. Every house in the world suddenly having having solar panels and every ICE vehicle being replaced by electric will cost us untold amounts of physical resources, energy, and create massive amounts of regular waste which cannot be recycled, forever.

There needs to be a managed decline and long term transition which manages both manufacturing and waste pipeline effectively or the shift will just increase the climate change rate.

Im not saying we shouldnt be moving to renewables ASAP, but people need to realise its not as simple as chucking a solar panel on every roof.

Being interested in tech and spiritually are not mutually exclusive things.

Lets not forget there have been bigger and hotter events than this in local past.

You may tie this in to climate change in general to prove your point, but this is a discussion about El Nino weather event and it is important to remember the current situation is not unprecedented.

The point was that Netflix have written a massive huge technical blog post about how they are using a fashionable new technology to give better recommendations based on your data alone. However they have left out the most important part, how they squeeze their money making suggestions in to this.

A better blog post would have included that part to, but it goes to show that this post was never about technical prowess and always about marketing.

Wouldnt this be the same experience on all 'blank' browsers? The whole point was install ublock origin extension and that all goes away.

You make it sound like its Firefoxs fault that youtube is full of ads!

That would never fly with consumers, Microsoft are big but not that big.

People say that Firefox doesnt display some pages properly, but I am yet to see one and nobody has ever managed to show me a page that works in Chrome but breaks in Firefox.

Chrome is a glitchy mess compared to Firefox, and Firefox still has Manifest v2 and fully working uBlock. Its a no brainer for me, back to the orange fox I go.

This post paints a very altruistic picture of how recommendations can be fed from user history, preferences, device and environment context etc. However they make no mention of needing to advertise content from paid clients, promote new releases, and increase views on certain underperforming content. I'm assuming that once their fancy LLM spits out some user recommendations, they are then run through another process to 'commercialise' the results before displaying them to the user.
