I wrote the comment below in response to another article, but it is applicable here. I should note that the technology to convert CO2 to say hydrocarbons is well known (and my current work is on making it economically interesting), my issue is with trying to extract CO2 from the atmosphere, which is very inefficient.

-----

This is actually a very bad idea and a complete waste of money which should have been used for other projects. It reminds me of another bad idea, which just will not die - extracting water from air by cooling it.
Right now, we have several technologies ready to go. Starting with the most cost-effective, and omitting the "use less" scenarios:

1. Replacement of fossil fuel power plants with carbon free electricity such as wind and solar power (also geothermal, where possible and nuclear, where palatable). Cost per tonne of CO2 saved: less than zero for about 30% of current generation, and "very low" for a good portion of the remainder.

2. Sequestration of concentrated CO2 streams, such as those produced in natural gas processing. Cost: $20-$40 per tonne.

3. Biosequestration, ie tree planting. Cost varies greatly, maybe $15-$50 per tonne.

The approaches above are the only ones that are actually used in the industry today, but there is plenty of room to do more. The approaches below are considered to be economically prohibitive, and AFAIK are not in use:

4. Post-combustion carbon capture: Scrubbing the CO2 from exhaust gases of power plants etc, where the CO2 concentration is 10-20%. Cost: $50-100/tonne, PLUS the cost of sequestration, as above.

5. Pre-combustion carbon capture: here, the carbon is removed from the fuel and sequestered, and only the hydrogen is burned. Cost: $80-150/tonne, but sequestration cost is low.

and then we have:

6. Removal of CO2 from the atmosphere. The article says the cost may be "under $100/tonne", but the serious estimates I have seen are circa $500/tonne. Consider that the CO2 concentration in air is around 0.04%, cf post combustion concentrations of 10-20%. Regardless of the advances in technology, this will never be as cheap as post-combustion carbon capture, which is essentially the same process but with 250 times less throughput.
My point isn't that he's coercing. He isn't. I said that clearly. My point is that he's being disingenuous.

Homebrew has had to deal with this in its sometimes-painful transition over the years from being a build-from-source system to a binary package manager. Suddenly you can't just have some package require the boost package be built using the --with-python flag, you either need to have it on in the bottled version (but wait, then boost has a dependency on Python, is that okay?), or you have to ship a separate boost-python, like Debian (but wait, then it's no longer a 1:1 mapping of recipes to bottles, is that okay?).
Nope this was my experience too. I also heard that they'll knock 50% off or more if you offer to pay cash on the day of. This was also not true (at least in Alaska).

In Utah I've gotten further, but usually if they knock off 20% I've had a good day. It's insanity. The market is completely messed up.

Having responded to multiple incidents across sectors, can confirm that extensive reconnaissance and long term operations are becoming a norm. During one instance, the attackers were present in the system of a client for more than 18 months and had gained an amazing understanding of their operational procedures, policies and security architecture to say the least.

I work as an ML engineer, some thoughts:

The train/test data being imbalanced in the same way does give the model an advantage, but I don't think that making the test set 50% would solve the issue completely either. Doctors have been "trained" on the true distribution, while which is not 50% (I'd guess that the true distribution is actually extremely unbalanced).

The model isn't simply learning to predict no 80% of the time, it is learning the distribution of the data with respect to the input features. For example, let's say that we have a simple model with only 3 binary features. It may learn that when features X_0, X_1 and X_2 are 1, the probability of cancer is 70%. This isn't a simple multiplication of the true probability by the upscaling factor though--it depends on the percent of negative samples with this feature vector and the percent of positive samples with this feature vector.

If we are to change the test set to be 50% positive and keep the same train distribution, the model no longer has the correct information about cancer rates with respect to feature distributions, but neither does the dermatologist. The specificity and sensitivity continue to not be interpretable as predicted specificity and sensitivity in the real world.

There is no issue with reporting specificity/sensitivity if they had used the true distribution of cases. Yes, the curves/AUCs will look better than the precision/recall rates, but they do not mis-represent what the doctors are interested in (what percent of people will be missed, and what percent of healthy people will be subjected to unnecessary procedures).

Anyways, the classifier doesn't actually seem to be that good, there's actually doctors that were better than the classifiers if you check the paper.
well.. imo also because 20 years ago they just would have been staring into corners or something

This is still false. Android is open source, see the forks. What is not open source is the services on top. The development process is not open for Android but you did not provided any fact to show contribution was not accepted by Canonical.

You are complaining that an open source tool is not using your preferred thing, you want snap to point to a Debian store, get the source, replace the Canonical store url with a Debian store, then create the store backend and implement the APIs.

Do you have any complaint about the Canonical store? Did they censored your favorite thing or your issue is that you can't just from principles.

About my FUD accusation, maybe you should not get involved in a comment where I correct the OP about him spreading FUD in a vague attempt to protect him. The comment thread was not about what format is better is all about what proprietary means and not have fanboys use the terms wrong.

I'm a French expat in China (Shanghai), in 201901 I had to obtain an electrocardiogram. A high-end hospital would do it for 1500 to ~3000 RMB (the local currency, 1 RMB is ~0.15 USD). I took the path used by locals, and had it done without any fuss or appointment for ~40 RMB.

Details: the hospital would do it after an "initial out-patient visit" costing "1,000 to 1,800", the ECG price is "500", and those are "estimated prices ((...)) subject to change."
I will always remember him as the guy who would willingly collude with other mentees of Bill Campbell to not hire engineers from each others companies. Willingly trying to keep the salaries of engineers low is pure evil. They even tried to rope-in Zuckerberg into this gentleman's agreement. Zuck asked them to buzz off. When Eric is involved in shady practices like these, how do all other leaders on twitterverse who are singing his praises justify their pandering. I wonder if Eric would have survived now as a Google CEO. Half the company would walk out today, if they came to know Sundar is in bed with his other CEO buddies and has agreements not to poach employees from each other's companies.
Totally agree with you.

Adding to this: Oftentimes there isn't a single person in the place that even knows what X costs...and hasn't a clue how to determine that number.

Years ago, I was between jobs and asked for the 'cost'. The reply I got was "$20", a typical copay at the time. When I explained my situation and was asking for the actual out the door costs...20 bucks. They really didn't even understand how to approach my question (could see it in their eyes/response). When I asked for another person in the office - 20 bucks. Hell, even the Dr told me 20 bucks. The bill I received was not 20 bucks - surprise surprise. And what could I do really - hold them to the 20 bucks? Where was my 'proof'...

Many of the people doing the admin work simply are not trained nor equipped to understand the gravity of the position. They can set you up on a calendar and fill out a postcard - beyond this, and there's problems. And why should they? They are being paid to be calendar/postcard filling person only.

The system itself was designed weirdly to begin with, it assumes that you are a wage earner of a large company that is paying insurance as an employment perk. If you deviate from this model - then these sub-systems don't know what to do.

I am all for decentralization. Heck, I am even working on a business idea that involves it as a core part of the business.

However, I feel that decentralization should win the marketplace by providing value and making users adopt it willingly.

I hate when things are forced down. There are plenty of alternatives to..., say, Facebook... but many - if not most - people still prefer to use it. So let them do it and please don't force Facebook to change by laws. As a long time IRC user, I hate centralized chat but I respect others' decision to use Slack instead. I want to see decentralization become the norm again naturally. Not forced through evil laws.
I don't understand how this part is "conveniently" left out. What about this quote weakens the OP's implication of hypocrisy among business leaders?
It doesn't sound like you disagree. You might want to be nude in front of some people (doctors, lovers, airport security), but not everyone (your barber, your boss, perfect strangers).
Thermodynamically, no. But is that the question?

We're a long way away from consuming so much energy we thermodynamically scorch the Earth, right?

It seems like they want to know if you can be mostly carbon neutral and generate existing fuels.

If that's the case, then if you have access to a cheap form of renewable energy -- huge amounts of geothermal, tidal, or solar -- you could generate a ton of something-like-gasoline, reduce carbon, and come out nearly neutral when re-burning it.

Theoretically, you can profit if the renewable source of energy is cheaper than the cost of generating and distributing the fuels.

I'm skeptical this is possible. But if it is, I'm optimistic it will actually happen.

It is not about the time-complexity which is "almost" linear in any case (and even slightly worse than the classical version O(nlog(log(n)) vs O(nlog(n)), but about the space complexity, which is "almost" O(n^(1/3)) vs O(n^(1/2) ( or the classical "naive" O(n))

What's really interesting is the selected motto for the new era. On the surface it appears to resemble "continued peace" but careful readers of Japanese understand it had a complete different meaning. It more closely means "ordered" "compliance", as in an order is given and your compliance will keep the peace. Strange times.
That article mentions some things I've read about Japan, but it's far darker and negative. No one trusts govt statistics about the economy there because they are known to be manipulated? First, have they thought about China? Second, I've never heard they are lying about national economic stats in Japan.

I need some perspective and accuracy checking of this article. It just seems like bs.
"...no one could guarantee ..." Key phrase to be sure.

Many people that I know talk about how people need to know how much something costs - but these systems themselves don't know how much anything costs.

Furthermore, they know this and therefore unwilling to guarantee anything.

Knowing prices is great, but I feel is a non-starter when thinking about how the system can be 'fixed'. Also, you can't price shop when you're having a stroke.

All in all, we have to just acknowledge that the system for everyone is broken - beyond this, I haven't a clue as to the next step.

They’re fine. But stock buybacks and dividends are a waste. I’d rather that money (I’m a shareholder with not enough shares to matter but oh well) be used to purchase companies like a Netflix (too late now of course) or a Disney (also too late) or making bigger purchases to control more of their supply chain like buying a Qualcomm or increase the R&D budget by double maybe. 75B in buybacks just juices the EPS numbers. It’s the exact same BS that IBM has been doing to keep wall street happy. And it seems very un-Apple. I’d rather Apple take a more cold stance toward shareholders like Steve did and just act like the company was constantly in the verge of failing and keep making bigger bets (having huge piles of cash helps with that and they still do it just I don’t care about a dividend! Find me the next thing better than an iPhone)

>Most of the skepticism about CO2 removal from the air is focused on "carbon sequestration and storage" or CSS, which is mitigation of emissions from fossil fuel by putting CO2 into the ground

That is false! Most of the skepticism about CO2 removal from the air is focused on the difficulty of said removal, compared with the relative ease of removing CO2 from eg power plant exhaust.
That graph literally shows the average for 1981-2000 and the last 4 years, which are consistently and significantly below the average.
Yes, tricking children is worse, because they are humans. But beluga or dog is not a children, they are not humans. To be humanistic is to be concerned about humans. It somehow leads to be concerned about other animals too, but humans first, animals later. As for me it is a matter of prioritizing things. Appealing to the animal cuteness is no more than appealing to an emotions. If you are choosing between human and animal for a mortally dangerous mission, what will be your choice?

I see an ethical issue though. There are a lot of discissions about AI killing people. What about animals trained to kill people? If we lay aside the cuteness of animals, is it somehow different from AI?

I have a ton of experience with farms in third world countries, we did not feed them antibiotics or hormones or special food, only grass or other related plant thing from our grounds. For a long time we had a bull that would do the job when the cows were in heat but when we reduced the number of cows it is too expensive to have a bull and we asked a veterinarian to do the artificial insemination.

I did not heard of any magic way to make the cows have more milk, there is no need to have her get pregnant often, and the quality of the milk is related with the food quality. The quantity of the milk is something genetic, some cows just give more milk then others, and some races then other.

What I see from some responses her is that the facts were wrong, the cows are not forced in heat(nobody provided a link) and all the thread is based on morals/ethical stuff that I don't want to debate, I wanted to know if I am missing some information(I have no time and need to inform myself on how some bad farms do things because I am not promoting an ideology with facts I did not researched before)
