The growth strategy, which seems to be the only tool in mainstream politicians' kit, is broken for good.

Limits to Growth was right about collapse
The only question is whether we manage degrowth or just let it happen to us. This isn’t a neutral question. I know which one of these is worse.

Dust enrichment and growth in the earliest stages of protoplanetary disk formation
Aims. We numerically investigated dust enrichment and growth during the initial stages of protoplanetary disk formation. A particular objective was to determine the effects of various growth barriers, mimicked by imposing a series of upper permissible limits on maximum dust sizes. Methods. We used the Formation and Evolution of Stars and Disks on nested meshes (ngFEOSAD) code to simulate the three-dimensional dynamics of gas and dust under the polytropic approximation, from the gravitational co…

Limits to Growth was right about collapse.
"This improved parameter set results in a World3 simulation that shows the same overshoot and collapse mode in the coming decade as the original business as usual scenario of the LtG standard run."

Promptus: Can Prompts Streaming Replace Video Streaming with Stable Diffusion
With the exponential growth of video traffic, traditional video streaming systems are approaching their limits in compression efficiency and communication capacity. To further reduce bitrate while maintaining quality, we propose Promptus, a disruptive semantic communication system that streaming prompts instead of video content, which represents real-world video frames with a series of "prompts" for delivery and employs Stable Diffusion to generate videos at the receiver. To ensure that the gen…
