It’s 12 years to zero carbon if we want to keep below 1.5C, without assuming massive removal of carbon from the atmosphere from the mid century. Obviously this doesn’t stand much chance of happening, but it gives you an idea of the scale of the challenge.

The Paris cuts are very much within our ability to do, and likely without damaging the economy, although of course some special interests with holdings in fossil fuels will lose their money. That’s a good start, even if it ends up being 2-3C that’s infinitely better than the alternative.

The section on "model-driven debate" (http://worrydream.com/ClimateChange/#media-debate) describes (and provides an example of) a mode of conversation that I have long wished was more common.

In particular it seems that the web should facilitate such model-driven debates, since these dynamic calculations can be embedded in the fabric of the conversation (the posts, articles, and documents that are being shared), where they would be more awkward to include in verbal/visual presentations/conversations.

I would love to see more of this, but alas it seems like an incredibly niche way of presenting ideas.
I propose that police must always respond to an emergency call in a way that will not result in tragedy if it’s fake. Innocent until proven guilty, you know?

The problem isn’t that the police respond to a false alarm. The problem is that they sometimes shoot people when they do.

82786 was a strange part. I programmed it for one product. As I remember it was mostly set up for windowing with a handful of primitives and not really worth the trouble. We probably should have used an ASIC.

This is an incredibly weird article. It's basically a prolonged sob-story about how terrible a production halt would be.

No doubt there would be an economic impact but the writing is just full of hyperbole and doesn't name any sources for it's claims (like 0.6% of GDP growth rate - note the growth rate, not 0.6% of GDP or 0.6% of GDP growth ...). It also fails to differentiate between the impact of existing planes not able to fly and continued production.

This smells like a PR campaign to put pressure on regulators.

Only, in this instance, the FAA probably won't risk further embarrassment by declaring the plane safe while EASA is holding out. Most of the world will wait for them rather than go with the FAA.
That is literally the first thing suggested in the post. You can say the other thing is a "flawed approach" but that's the design problem being solved, so your answer is simply not responsive to the question.
There's more to the aerospace industry than Boeing alone. Aerospace is 1.8% of the GDP, whereas Boeing is 0.6% of the GDP. Damn impressive to be sure, but considering hundreds or thousands of lives lost are the cost to avoid a slump in that area, I'm pretty sure it's the right choice.
If you think they could pressure the FAA, do you also think they could pressure the EASA and CAAC?

If the last decades of experience with government and corporate bureaucracies taught us anything, it's that one of the primary functions of bureaucracies is to route risk around. Every part of an organization is risk-phobic, so the risk accumulates in places where the people either can't effectively dump it on someone else, or they don't notice what's happening.

So e.g. here, by choosing an inferior but established method over a superior but new one, the DOT was routing the risk in the form of "they might rake us over the coals" away from themselves, and dumping it onto taxpayers in the form of "we'll pay more for it now, and even more when it breaks in a couple of years".

This is always touted around. Fine, you're not wrong. I think the missing implicit assertion that also needs the same level of preaching is "and truly free markets".

I don't really buy the 4% number in this context. I could believe it for a large enterprise like McDonalds that can absorb the cost increases by virtue of a huge, vertically integrated chain of production, but smaller businesses usually have far more middlemen in their supply chains, each of which adds overhead, along with the actual restaurant staff. Plus, it's not just the burger costing more - it's a ton of items, and in the end it may not be financially prudent to have the luxury burger anymore.

(Of course, this is me pretending that people who earn minimum wage are often financially prudent; in reality they'll just buy the burgers on a credit card and worry about it later)

Not so different, in terms of how they impact purchasing power. If anything, though, inflation is more egalitarian because it impacts everyone and everything.
I agree with you, and make the same point about numbers.

The number is not illegal, it’s the number in conjunction with a situational context that is illegal.

We may disagree with the intent of the law, but the argument that we are making numbers illegal, or math illegal, is parallel to the argument that other laws make words illegal.
I'm so tired of this unapologetic Tesla hand holding.

> No other company has the infrastructure to be able to do that.

Because they don't want it. They don't want AP regressions we've already seen happen. They don't want engineers testing code out on real people's lives.

You really think other companies just don't know how to send OTA updates to an ECU or other car components?

I could literally put that together with scraps in my garage, my car's ECU can be flashed over OBD, it'd be trivial to write firmware for a microcontroller to repeat a set of OBD commands downloaded from a webserver.

Obviously an auto manufacturer would do more than that, but there is literally nothing but choice stopping other manufacturers from doing this.

Why is everything Tesla does always suddenly some sort of competitive advantage. Next people will be saying the fact they have cars that spell out "S3XY" is a competitive advantage.
There's a real question about consent here. I know a lot of techies that don't understand ML that well (not even better than the general public). I saw a comment in another form "ML is like QM, if you think you understand it you don't.", And I think that's fairly accurate and Feynman would have loved it. So

1) how can you give proper consent if it takes a great deal of expertise to understand what you're getting yourself into (never mind that complexity doesn't come across, but that's a good question too. About conveying complexity).

2) can consent even be given if we can't be fully informed? Or rather how informed do you need to be to give consent?
How about everyone just stops watching baseball?
That'd be a good start.

One thing, however, that bothers me lately is the pursuit shareholder value above all else. The commentary always arrives at that end (shareholder value) in order to justify the means every time a company's direction might not translate so nicely for customers: YouTube ads, Uber rate increases, Boeing cutting corners, etc.

Being a profitable company is one thing, but I can't help but watch and think, I don't feel any sense of compassion for shareholders losing a few bucks because they were impatient or made a bad investment. Of course Boeing's shareholders want <insert new Boeing thing> delivered yesterday, but the "bloody ROI"[1] can't be what drives Boeing development.

Blown away they wouldn’t pause production until they knew the design issues were fixed... rather than build new planes that beat case had to be immediately retrofitted. “Let’s just do the wrong thing again, it’ll work this time.” Seems very risky.

BTW - Sir Fred Hoyle (an atheist) used his "tornado in a junkyard" idea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkyard_tornado) to describe what he thought was the likelihood of a working cell forming naturally.

The idea is universally reject by evolutionary biologist, as Wikipedia states, "no biologist imagines that complex structures arise in a single step." The problem that gets swept under the rug is that until you have a single functioning cell, there is no reproduction and therefore nothing that will perpetuate the chemical advances made to get there.
They run autopilot in all the cars whether it is turned on or not.

If it is not turned on, they still send the inputs to autopilot, without controlling the car. I think they can also compare what the driver does against what the autopilot would have done.

They can also ask their "fleet" to match specific conditions, and collect data if they are met.

The autonomy day video showed some interesting images, for example "animals" the fleet had seen.

From what I know about it, gobject-introspection has some nice properties, but one killer drawback: it's incompatible with cross compilation. This is apparently because it requires running binaries compiled for the target system as part of the build process. You actually can cross compile if you have an emulator for that system handy [1], but that's horrible.

Apparently the reason it requires running the compiled binaries is that GObject types are only registered at runtime, within so-called "_get_type" functions. For more typical systems, everything needed can be determined at compile time. Too bad there's no portable way to ask a C compiler to dump what it knows about a source file, but if you just want things like struct sizes and field offsets, you can compile a C file that embeds them as global variables, and then extract the variable values. For more advanced introspection there are many less-portable options including Clang's API, GCC-XML, parsing debug info, or writing your own compiler (easier for C; it seems that parts of gobject-introspection work like this).

Anyway, another interesting comparison is DTrace's CTF (Compact Type Format) [2], a simple binary format that describes the kernel's C struct layouts, function signatures, etc. This information is simply converted from compiler-generated debug info [3], but it's stripped down enough that it can be embedded into every kernel without too much size overhead. When the DTrace compiler is invoked to compile a user hook, it parses the CTF data and exposes the types and functions to the user's code (which is written in a custom C-like language).

Ironically, BPF has BTF, which is a very similar-looking format that encodes very similar kinds of data – but is used for a completely different purpose. Specifically, it's only used to encode types and functions defined by BPF programs, to allow the kernel to pretty-print things. But in theory BTF could be repurposed to work like CTF: you would need to generate BTF information for the kernel itself, and then Clang could be extended to support "including" BTF files in place of C headers. However, this option was apparently discussed and rejected [4]. I haven't read the original threads to find out why, but I suspect it might involve:

- Lack of existing tooling to do the above;

- Lower expressivity compared to C headers, e.g. the inability to encode macros (although this could be fixed);

- Desire to use the information for building not just BPF hooks but also full-fledged kernel modules.

> Every time someone in history has tried to remove the gap it's ended in horror.

Has it? It's easy to recall the times it has because they make it to the history books, but there's been peaceful periods of reduction in income inequality too. Simply in the US, in the period right after WW2 income inequality fell in what is known as "The Great Compression"[1].

This was also an era of incredible progress and development of the US— everything from big developments around social issues (civil rights movement), huge cultural evolution (counterculture), big development in science and technology (moon landings, nuclear power, etc).

When people don't have to worry about wether they can afford rent the next month, they can worry less about losing their job to immigrants, they can afford to quit a bad job to find a better one, open their own business, etc. In general not things you measure as economic standard of living, as the money you make and things you own, but that translate as less time spent stressed and more time spent being productive both economically and just culturally.

The thought that to make things better for the poor we need to make them better for the rich too is awful close to trickle-down economics, which have proven again and again to be very much an unsound theory.

“Safe” is a relative term.
For example, it would have been safer for the plane to have 2 more engines. But there are only 2 engines since it’s safe enough and much more economically viable.

It doesn’t matter how safe something is if no one is going to buy it.
I can respect your point of view as I think that it's based on some historical realities that cannot be so easily dismissed.

However if you look at the history of NYT articles on Turkey and Erdogan going back years [1], there are scant few articles that are critical of Turkey or Erdogan in the way this and other articles in the past weeks and months have been (beginning from the time Turkey began to drift away from its traditional allies). Recent articles have directly called into question the legitimacy of the AKP and Erdogan himself who was elected through a democratic process.

> I would've thought if this particular timing was a case of "Manufacturing Consent" rather than just a coincidence, it would've happened earlier.

From my point of view, this article and others like it could be interpreted as a very early precursor to forced regime change in Turkey. Time will tell if I am correct. Turkey switching sides presents an existential threat to NATO and the balance of power in region, especially considering the power of Turkey's military and Erdogan's stance on the issue of Israel and Palestine.

To me, they could be seen as examples of the mainstream media laying the groundwork -building popular support- for some kind of future, punitive military or economic action. They look suspiciously like the articles printed in the lead-up to the disasters of Libya, Iraq, Syria. Of course, this is all just speculation, based on how the informal American propaganda apparatus (described by Chomsky) has operated in the past.

There are many, many problems with Turkey and Erdogan and there is much to answer for, but I'm of the opinion that U.S style regime change is not the solution. I think it behooves us to be extremely critical and even suspicious of any source of information that was designed for mass dissemination and consumption.

"GAAP net loss of $408M" - the number that matters.

Tesla isn't doing that badly. But now that they have some production volume, they have to be evaluated as a car company, not a startup. Can they make lots of cars at a profit? They got the production quantity up by throwing people, money, and a big tent at the Fremont plant. That ran up the cost per car. Although it's better than their previous state of low production with a full staff. Can they get to a smooth running production plant with labor hours per car comparable to Detroit? (About 30-50 labor hours per car is typical in the industry.)

"Model 3 average selling price was stable at approximately $50,000."

That's nice, but the Model 3 was supposed to be $35,000. Tesla has caught up with their backlog, and you can now buy a Tesla Model 3 off the lot, just like regular car dealers.[1] That's good; they're now like a normal car company. But it also means they've saturated the market at their high price point, which is about where BMW is.

They're also at the point where all their models need a refresh or a replacement. Tesla is slow at new models compared to the competition.

- The victims of weak encryption (stolen data for example) are similar to innocents harmed by gun control? (I'm not sure on this one, please correct me if I'm wrong).

Where are the trends?
My SO did soil testing for the state for public works projects. Things like water retention rates, expansion, Atterberg tests, etc. It's incredibly basic stuff. Like, how much does the soil expand when it rains/snows? Over a few hundred miles of road bed, even small percentages will add up. In our state there are clays that will expand 4x their volume before water can no longer be absorbed. It turns out, the earth can be suprisingly active on a week to week basis, just from rain.

So, yeah, there is a LOT of corruption and incompetence out there. But we've figured out a lot about soils/rocks/dirt in the last 40 years or so too. It's that there is this deep perception in most people that dirt is well ... dirt. Like, it's dirt, it doesn't change or move.

So, you get issues where they pave the road-bed over just after a rain. And then the road dries out over 2 years and the entire road just breaks apart. Or you get the problem where the the pH of the soil wasn't tested, so the rebar in the concrete will corrode faster. Or they build another thing nearby and change the drainage patterns around your dam. It's not simple stuff to make a house or a 70mph highway that will last for 50 years without a lot of issues.
