It has to do with incentives. When incentivized for the number of arrests and convictions, no one cares if it's the right people. Add in that there is almost zero penalty for prosecutorial misconduct unless it is extreme, and it's no wonder so many innocent people end up in jail.

All that says (in your second paragraph) is that if you're going to predict the actual temperature, you need an accurate CO2 prediction, which of course is true.

But here is Hansen's original 1988 paper: https://pubs.giss.nasa.gov/abs/ha02700w.html

From the abstract: "We make a 100-year control run and perform experiments for three scenarios of atmospheric composition. These experiments begin in 1958 and include measured or estimated changes in atmospheric CO2, CH4, H2O, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and stratospheric aerosols for the period from 1958 to the present. Scenario A assumes continued exponential trace gas growth, scenario B assumes a reduced linear linear growth of trace gases, and scenario C assumes a rapid curtailment of trace gas emissions such that the net climate forcing ceases to increase after the year 2000."

Note the word "assumes." There's no attempt to really model what humanity would choose to emit. None of these assumptions exactly match what happened with CO2 and other greenhouse gases, so of course none of them exactly match the temperature either. But adjusted for actual greenhouse emissions, they come remarkably close.

Were they completely accurate in that way? Certainly not. People knew a lot less back then. It took a while to nail down things like the effect of water vapor, which is a greenhouse gas but also makes clouds that reflect sunlight away. But they were close enough to make good policy decisions, and if we'd paid attention, we'd be much better off today.

Incidentally, the case for global warming doesn't depend on models. There have been warming events before, and there's enough evidence in geological history to tell us what's going to happen. Hansen's book has details.

Monads do not impose an evaluation order in Haskell. Monads let you thread state between computations, but that state may be lazily evaluated out-of-order.

The belief that monads sequence IO operations is why new Haskell programmers have difficulty writing functions like "open file, read file contents, close file, and return contents". They assume the contents will be read before the file closes, and not when the contents are lazily evaluated up the call chain (leading to a "can't read closed file" error).

A C compiler doesn't track roots, but it does not follow that precise GC is impossible in code that compiles to C. You "just" need to make sure that your translator emits the appropriate code.

Nobody forces you to implement assignments in the guest language as literal C assignments. If a guest language assignment statement compiles to something like "assign(&target, value)", then your assign function can do whatever it takes to track roots.
Djb’s article linked above answers this in detail. In short, vectorized instructions don’t have to hit ram to do things like addition, but they can heat up the processor beyond its ability to cool to operating temperatures. The clock speed drop is necessary to avoid overheating.

For more reading, check out cpu pipelining, as well as how vectorized instructions actually work. The performance benefit for well implemented vectorized instructions overcomes the clock speed hit by leaps and bounds, which is why mobile systems make such heavy use of them, for example.

Many, many orders of magnitude more. I can't provide a link, but I read a while ago about this fascinating experiment: you put a few cardiac cells in a petri dish. They start crawling around. When they find each other they stick to each other, and after a small group forms, they start beating together.

We think of biological neurons as little more than their ANN cousins. Take a few inputs from a few dendrites, apply a RELU or some other non-linear function to them, send the result through the axon. I think a better way to think of them is they are living things themselves, humongously complex. It's very unlikely they are as simple as we make them to be.
You know the stories of criminals who have been arrested multiple times, convicted a few times, but are not jail? The reason is that for the most part guilty people, knowing they are guilty, will hide things. They will naturally avoid giving the police anything that can be construed to point to them being guilty.

An innocent person on the other hand, knowing they are innocent, will just talk. They will speak only looking at what they say in the best light. They will not realize that everything they say is going to be construed by the police to fit their theory of the crime. This is why it is important for an innocent person to think like a guilty person during their interactions with the police.

There’s an incredibly straightforward and readable paper by Simon Peyton Jones (one of the creators of Haskell and GHC) which explains how Haskell deals with IO, exceptions, and concurrency. It also explains why they settled on this, rather than some other design. In my opinion, it is the best explanation of the IO monad (specifically IO) out there. Even just reading the first 10 or so pages is completely worthwhile.

This is a naive view, and doesn’t reflect anything unique about the US justice system at all. Innocent until proven guilty is a nice ideal to aspire too, but at the end of the day, you’re dealing with the opinions of a dozen random jurors. The fact that somebody chose to charge the accused with a crime is enough to prejudice them off the bat. Defence will always carry at least some burden of proof.

Yes and no.

Briefly: the article distinguishes "endocrinal" vs. "distributed" decisionmaking.

This applies at some levels, but not at others.

For individual humans, we don't have the option of rewiring our concsiousnesses, which are rather pathetically single-threaded, and can at best multitask poorly by task-switching, at a very great loss of task proficiency.

Even withing collective organisations (companies, governments, organisations, communities), the multiple independent actors works where those actors' actions are autonomous and independent of others. Or, in the alternative, where they work without mutual conflict toward a common goal.

But you get problems where either individual actors' motivations and actions are in conflict, or in which a single global decision must be made (as with various global catastrophic risks), and multiple independent decisions cannot be arrived at. Even for noncritical arbitrary decisions, such as which side of the road to drive on, in which there is no compelling argument to be made for one side or the other, but in which both sides cannot be simultaneously selected, you need some global decisionmaking capacity.

When you reach the point of either an existing decisionmaking system (as in: a single human, with the finite and largely immutable information acquisition and processing capabilities corresponding), or a multi-agent system which must reach a common decision, you've got the challenge of limiting data intake to that amount which allows effective function within the environment, and avoids overloading capabilities or ineffective action.

> puritan american culture [ => busy busy busy ]

There's definitely something to that. Calvinistic thinking that labor is pious seems to have been a part of American workplaces forever, especially tech. It's even a part even of the stackoverflow ethos-- god help you if you ask a question without showing that you've "done the work" up front.

But it's all over the place. Look at the China tech sector with their popular 9-9-6 workweek. Is that an import from Western Calvinist thinking? I'm not sure, maybe?

Whatever the case, "busyness" certainly has been exploited to serve "the man" and not "god".
No, you can force operations to execute in linear order without the use of monads, as long as one operation depends on the output of the previous. But you have to be careful not to reuse values.

Imagine if the IO operations took an explicit world parameter instead of using a monad:

main :: World -> World
main world1 =
let world2 = putStrLn world1 "Hello, what's your name?"
let (world3, name) <- getLine world2
let world4 = putStrLn world3 ("Hey " ++ name ++ ", you rock!")
in world4

The IO operations would be executed in the expected order due to the dependency of the "world" output of the previous operation. Monads not necessary.

But if you accidentally used world2 twice then you would split the universe into two timelines. A monad can avoid this issue by hiding the world parameter and passing it on behind the scenes.

> 1. I want to teach it ten words. How do I do this?

I'm assuming you mean "my target vocabulary is only ten words". In that case, you have a couple of options:

1. Just use it as is and see how it does.

2. Create a language model containing just those 10 words so that the engine is constrained to that vocabulary, which should improve accuracy.

3. Train a (smaller) model from scratch, which requires (audio, transcript) pairs. This is basically research work, there's no recipe you can just follow. The advantage is that if you can make it work, it can be a much smaller model than a model trained for general English dictation.

> 2. I want to speak into my microphone (available as a Pulseaudio device) and recognise the words and output the words as a text stream on stdout. How do I do this?

We have a few examples with microphone input, but they're all based on voice activity detection: https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech/tree/master/examples

I should write an example that is just continuous streaming and output without any voice activity detection.

I think you're talking about the ability of the federal reserve to print money and buy US treasures, thus increasing the money supply.

The thing is, US currency is global commodity and as such is subject to supply and demand forces. The Fed targets a 2% inflation rate, which strikes a nice balance.

If the currency appreciates, people will hord it and a currency bubble will cause major economic problems.

Just look at bit coin. It currently worth $20,000, no wait $10,000, no wait $17,000, no wait...

My understanding is that alpine is a very light weight linux ditro and isn't a productised, easy to use hypervisor with full control via a gui.

It's a bit like me saying "I like music editing using xxx because it has a tonne of value added, makes it easy, but it requires an amount of hardware resource" and someone replying "pah, I just use a reel-to-reel, some sharp scissors and a roll of tape!" - unless I'm missing something, it's not really comparable.

edit: as tfigment pointed out along side my comment, I'm slightly annoyed that proxmox is a full-fat linux install for the hypervisor. The comparison I tried to make was with vmware ESXi which boots from an SD card or USB stick and is almost entirely held in memory after boot.
ESXi has a whole number of other issues attached to it, but the fact I can throw a £10 usb stick in a server and use that as a boot drive, rather than "wasting" two of my SATA/SAS bays to a pair of real disks with the hypervisor installed on is nice.
> But adjusted for the actual CO2 emissions, they come remarkably close.

Take a look at the table I mentioned (line 326), in particular "ΔT / ΔF skill". That's the change in temperature over the change in forcing (ie, CO2 etc). Hausfather et al call it "implied TCR". In (overly) simple terms, it's the predicted increase in temperature per unit of CO2 emitted.

Look at the numbers: 0.51, 0.41, 0.63, 0.42, 0.83, etc. The best is 0.87. The average was 0.69.

The authors attempted to adjust for actual CO2 emissions and found that, after the correction, the models were predicting 40%-90% of the observations, with an average score around 70%.

Is that "remarkably close"?

Well, we might disagree about the meaning of that term. But there's another observation that we should agree on. Note what the authors say after that table:

> The average of the median skill scores across all the model projections evaluated is 0.69 for the temperature vs time metric.

> Using the implied TCR metric, the average projection skill of the models was also 0.69.

In other words, the models are, on average, as accurate with or without the correction. Adjusting for actual greenhouse emissions doesn't make the models more accurate (nor less).
