Ask HN: How can AI/ML save the world?
I'm currently looking for a PhD topic that could have a positive impact in the world. I'm having in mind to find ways to contribute to the sustainable goals defined by the UN (see https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/sustainable-development-goals/).

Do you have suggestions of projects where the latest knowledge in ML/AI could make a major change on the climate (Goal 13) or to improve the life below water/on land (Goals 14, 15)?

> The whole presumption that you want to spend 8 hours in an ergonomically ideal position without motion seems like bunk.

That’s because it is bunk. Low back pain researchers found ages ago that the most ergonomic setup for alleviating back pain was the one that let you shift positions every 15 minutes or so. There is no position so ergonomic that the body can tolerate holding it for extended periods of time.
Fair, he seemed genuinely surprised that some of us had a different idea so I wanted to explain where I’m coming from so we had a shared basis to work from. It was more of a pitch than an argument :)
On my little experience, dual monitors is better that a single ultrawide.
I had a ultra wide on my personal computer and two 16:9 monitor on my workstation. Same OS, same desktop setup, doing the same stuff. The total area and resolution is nearly the same . I know how explain, but I feel that I have more organized the open applications using two monitors that a single ultra wide monitor.
However using the ultrawide to watch cinema movies (without black bands.. Netflix I'm watching you!) or playing games that support correctly ultra wide resolution it's a pleasure.

Isn't this the nightmare scenario the GPL was created to fight against, a device that is not acting in the users interest but against it, with tons of private APIs [1], complete lack of transparency, deceptive language and hoovering up user data to send to others. And the kicker is this is happening on the supposedly 'open' Android platform. Take that Stallman.

Its really disappointing to see how the software ecosystem has degenerated into these shady mercenaries with zero compass. The only thing that can temper this crazy greed fueled appetite for surveillance is regulations and prosecutions because what some of these articles describe is venal and corrupt to restore some sense of propriety and civilization values.

I love mine as well. To me it is working with Windows the way it was envisioned, where you can place documents and tools where you want them as you would on a desk. You can even see your "desk" (wallpaper) in the space between documents. I shove my calendar and chat up high where I can easily see them, but they are out of my way.

One display is also no muss, no fuss. The time wasted on fiddling with displays, layouts and dealing with OS (oh Windows..) issues can negate the benefits of multiple monitors especially for less technical users (forums are filled with people who can't figure out the rules for HDMI/DP resolution combinations for their computer).

Speaking of Windows, the only real problem is that window snap doesn't allow me to set a 70/30 split vertical and horizontal instead of 50/50. Tried many different tools, but none seemed optimized for Windows 10.
It would preclude the existence of long-running GPS devices. I'm pretty sure that, in addition to devices that never have tested the rollover scenario, there are actually older devices produced in 2000s and still running today.

will have zero impact in the next three decades. There is no market offering and no buyer.

No one is investing in yet another fuel cycle and nuclear technology. There are no reactors of scale and there is no industry surrounding it.

> Germany's plant were not as flexible as France's

Germany had a few flexible nuclear plants. But all old.

> a variation of 10GW of nuclear production in a few hours.

The result is that France has invested very little in renewable energy in the last decades and created a very inefficient and state owned energy system.

France's centralized nuclear state owned energy system and distributed multi-producer/owner renewable energy are largely incompatible systems. Proof: the lack of investments into renewable in the last decades in France.

The main question is this: where are CURRENT investments going. Not nuclear, but renewable. This future had been made possible by investments like the German Energiewende, while other countries did invest in mostly nothing. They even failed to bring nuclear forward (-> US). The US sits on a bunch of outdated reactors and not much idea how to replace them economically with newer and better ones.

California real estate agents minimize erosion, earthquakes, fires, zombies and so on...
I live in Orlando. I have lived in Florida for all of my life (47 years) and I also wonder how we are going to adapt. I don't see any long term planning.

A few years ago I was looking for a new office building. Considering the parking situations, I asked each developer what they were planning for electric cars, Ubers, and autonomous cars. None of them had a plan. They all said such changes were 20 years or more away. I was surprised at this because I predict it taking much less than 20 years for these changes to have a big impact.

I moved into a newly built high-rise apartment building in downtown Orlando 15 months ago. The building is less than two years old. There are not enough charging outlets in the garage to accommodate all of the electric cars. It will be an expensive refit to upgrade the garage.

I don't know how it works elsewhere, but the entire real estate industry in Florida is not capable of long term thinking.

Indeed. My point was that taking claims about effects from people is effectively worthless in a situation where the "threat" is invisible, effects are subjective, and there's a lot of political motivation for belief in them. In a small city nearby people claimed these sorts of effects in an attempt to prevent a cellphone tower being built and "ruining" their view.

If the headway between buses is greater than 15 minutes, then few people are going to chose it as their transportation option. If one bus fails to show, often enough for me not to bother and walk instead, then you have a 30 minute waiting time at an open bus stop in cold driving rain.

Now I live in Asia and the buses are extremely frequent headway is less than 10 minutes, and I have no need for a car.
How does signed Git commits work?
So git uses the SHA-1 algorithm to ensure integrity. However SHA-1 is no longer considered secure.
So my question is, what is signed in a signed git commit?

I imagine that either the SHA-1 hash of the commit is signed, or the working tree is directly signed, using the preferred hashing algorithm set in my GPG settings.

Because if it is just the SHA-1 hash of the commit is signed, then someone could make a collision attack on that hash, and introducing malicious code.

I switched to Python in 2011 (basically because Django was a lot easier to get into as web framework, better docs and because too many ways to do things made Catalyst confusing for a beginner).

Perl was starting to loose ground by then, but was still pretty popular. My guess is around a third of bioinformaticans were using it as the goto language at that point.

Its a pity, I miss Perl and still pull it out for quick scripts that involve manipulating the filesystem as its got so much better syntactic sugar for that sort of thing. And using regexes in Python is such a chore in comparison. I always need to look up the docs, whereas I remember how to use them in Perl despite hardly using the language in 8 years

Tetris Printer Algorithm (2013)
It's for sites like Google who want to know which search result you click on. Previously, this involved adding an on click handler to the link. The JavaScript in the handler then delayed the navigation to the next page, as unloading the page would stop the JS&the ping request would not get sent.

With this feature, the browser could immediately navigate to the link target and simultaneously make the ping request in the background.
This is the production capacity (you are right it is not a good measure), but I was replying based on the graphic.

Germany went from 60% fossil, 23% nuclear, 17% renewable to
49%/13%/38% respectively.

How much further down do you expect fossil to go in ten years? I am pretty sure that by investing both on nuclear and renewable germany could have been at close to 0% right now or in a few years.

Florida's status as a swing state in Presidential elections means that both political parties will bail it out no matter what.

> Except that it will cost a lot more to build, insure and maintain.

Those are not counterarguments. Increasing running costs directly decrease property values. The property value vs. replacement property value will adjust.

Consider normal case whre property price is $1M, upkeep an maintenance etc. cost is $10k per year and investor gets $70k in rent.

Now change it to property price being $100k, yearly cost $30k per year and investor gets $60k in rent.

Witch one has better ROI?
Yes, maybe they should have closed coal rather than nuclear first between 2010 and 2014.

However, from this point onward it makes little difference. It makes little economic sense to build new nuclear plants given that they are more expensive and no sense to build coal. Renewables are more than capable of taking over as old nuclear and coal plants are phased out.

The issue now is how fast to phase out rickety old nuclear plants and rickety old coal plants.
I run a 43" 4K at my office, and have to conclude that I'd prefer more horizontal space (thus 2 smaller screens side-by-side, or an utlra-wide).

I contribute 2 reasons:

- The vertical space on a 43" is too much, you have to tilt your head up to see the upper region of the screen, which is not ergonomic.

- I currently run MacOS, which has horrible window management, as a result I regularly find myself piling up a whole bunch of windows in the lower center of the screen, leaving about 1/3 of the screen unused.

Situation: sitting desk, 80cm depth, sitting in the center of the screen, MacOS with stock window manager.

I'll probably hang this 43" on the wall as a dedicated grafana monitor (who doesn't love the eye candy) and place a ultrawide on my desk once I replace my aging apple laptop with something more capable of driving such display.
Triple for me. Have an Ergotech stand with the extra wide arm. In the middle sits a 21:9 34" 3440x1440, then on each side floating in the air a 16:10 24" 1920x1200.

Love it. Have my focus app in the middle, e.g. Code or Visual Studio. One side screen can have e.g. Sublime Merge, and the other a browser for testing, or a few terminals.
Of course. I'm not arguing to get funding here. I'm arguing that if you believe the IPCC storyline about climate change, then nuclear is the only viable option. Building should have started yesterday and the voting public of democratic nations should be fully aware of this.

If you don't believe the IPCC storyline, nuclear is still best power source right now. But there is no hurry. We can safely dabble with renewables and batteries and such until oil, gas and coal run out. No political hard decisions are needed, because prices of fossil fuels will increase well in advance to any catastrophe. So it will become economically sound to produce energy in some other way. Maybe it won't be nuclear then, I don't really care.

The ST didn't use CP/M-68K (it did during early development, but pivoted to a newly written file system and loader before it shipped).

The ST failed because the Tramiels didn't really understand software platforms. They got hardware, but when it came to developing an ecosystem that could support developers over a long period of time they just couldn't compete with the likes of Apple and Microsoft (the ST's software team was 10-12 people, and I don't care how good they were, doing a long-term successful platform just wasn't going to happen with a team that small). Coupled with some predatory business practices, the writing was on the wall.

I'm not seeing anyone here trying to imply that it's as safe as bananas, but I do see a comment that tries to imply that the degree of Cs-137 contamination is about a thousand times higher than safe levels (300 years, ~30 year half-life). As your citation shows, the worst measurements of bioaccumulated Cs-137 in recent years have been merely 2-3x safe levels, with older outliers having been 10x safe levels.

Similar to some others here, I always thought that most sites used JavaScript click handlers that send the host which links are clicked (where the target is visited directly and not through a redirect link).

Any opposition to the the energy policy in China will see themselves in a labor camp. That's a cheap way to deal with it.
