Surviving the Unthinkable: Which Nations Might Endure a Nuclear Apocalypse
Surviving the Unthinkable: Which Nations Might Endure a Nuclear Apocalypse? Imagine a world plunged into darkness—not metaphorically, but literally. Massive firestorms from nuclear detonations loft billions of tons of soot into the stratosphere, blocking sunlight and triggering a "nuclear winter." Global temperatures plummet, crops fail en masse, and billions face starvation. This isn't science fiction; it's a scenario modeled by scientists for decades, with recent studies painting an even grimmer picture. In a full-scale nuclear war, up to 5-6.7 billion people could perish from blasts, radiation, and subsequent famine. Yet, amid this catastrophe, some countries might fare better than others, sustaining pockets of civilization while the rest collapses.

Artificial Intelligence: A Perilous Journey. Content Warning.
💢 Artificial Intelligence: A Perilous Journey 💢 🔺 The greatest threat to us is not artificial intelligence itself, but our human surrender to it.

In the late 1980s, Guido van Rossum was looking for a "hobby" programming project to keep him occupied during the week around Christmas. He decided to write an interpreter for a new scripting language he’d been thinking about—one that was easy to read, simple to implement, and slightly irreverent.
