I think classic Intel would. Intel's major cash cow and selling point was trust and brand.

Until recently, I bought Intel processors and motherboards through good and bad because Intel had brand credibility. AMD sometimes gave better price-performance, but no one beat Intel for reliability and trust. Intel processors, chipsets, wifi, etc. were stable, had quality drivers, and QC was excellent. I knew the stuff would work.

I don't care about a 30% difference in performance nearly as much as that.

Historically, Intel was very good about publishing processor manuals, and bug lists. They weren't always perfect about fixing them, mind you, but they weren't bad either. Recall the FDIV bug. They took a lot of flack for that, but ultimately, they agreed to replace all affected processors. Or read e.g. an Intel 80486 manual and errata.

Intel seems to be imploding right now, and I don't know that they would publish something like this today, but that's a pretty recent phenomenon -- past five years or so. I just bought my first AMD desktop (with ECC!), but I'm still kind of hoping Intel will go back to the old ways -- transparent, reliable, documented, stable, and trustworthy. I'd rather get that, even if I need to pay double or lose a little bit of performance.

Those allowed Intel to sell high-margin products.

I'm not sure if the market would sustain that today. Perhaps the market for high-margin products has imploded. Right now, cloud infrastructure seems to rely on massive numbers of less reliable systems, rather than super-reliable servers as we had even a decade ago. Scientific computing has moved in a similar direction. No one makes serious business laptops/desktops anymore like classic IBM ThinkPads (which ran around $10k in today's dollars) or Sun/SGI/HP/etc. workstations for that matter. Or it might be that Intel drove the market in that direction. I can't quite tell.

Or it might be that AMD is taking Intel's former niche. Again, with AMD, my desktop finally has ECC again. That's something I haven't had for many years.

What I'd really like is a reliable laptop which could self-monitor. Memory has ECC. SSD has RAID. Every wire is monitored for errors, and if there's an issue somewhere, it can be pinpointed to the user. USB devices can't crash my computer. If any IC is unreliable, I'm immediately let know about what failed. If a hard drive has a bad cable, I'm told which cable is bad. If a fan is failing, I know. All voltages are monitored. If a heatsink falls off, the system shuts itself down with no damage and logs the event. Computations is error-correcting. Etc. The hardware Just Works, and if something breaks, I can fix it proactively rather than reactively when I lose my data. Think of the systems NASA used in the space shuttle. It wouldn't add much to the cost; most of this is just NREs. The amount of actual silicon needed would be pretty small.
It's essentially a press release written for popular consumption in America. If it was a scientific paper, ok sure use K, but that isn't what you're reading.

The number may have been chosen for legal reasons. Here in Ontario, we have no fault insurance, but if you're in an accident with another car from out-of-province, and you caused the accident, you/your insurance will be sued for $10M. It'll always be $10M, because that's the maximum that can be awarded; if you did $3000 in damage and they ask for $3000, then $3000 is the most they can get, but if they ask for $3000 in damages and $9,997,000 in punitive damages... they'll probably still get $3000, but they might more, so why not?

One could argue that anything worth seeing can be said simply, but it might require vocabulary that has a large corpus of knowledge behind it.

For example, scientist couldn’t make quick progress if they couldn’t speak succinctly about Fourier transforms, but that concept is quite difficult for a large portion of the population to grok.
Thanks for this.

Why NASA doesn't give the conversions in parentheses is beyond me. Surely they know that people around the world use another system, and that even in the USA, many people consulting the website have an interest in science and therefore know about the SI system.

(Or am I wrong on the latter ... are degF, inches, pounds, etc used in science teaching in the USA?)

He's often just pointing out logical internal contradictions in the text (point 2) or lies/mistakes about what the author claimed a source said when in fact the source said no such thing (point 4 about WHO and point 5 about NSF).

Also, I don't agree that he's misrepresenting himself. He didn't claim that he had an academic appointment. He claimed that he's a researcher, of which professional academics are a strict subset. After reading his excellent article, I'm in agreement with him that this is a suitable label.

Your other criticisms of his About page are just odd. So what if he puts his hobbies on there, or is reaching out to biology people? That's normal for an About page.
Slavery is a general term which means you are forced to work for someone without being paid.

One can argue the warrhouse workers would happily work anywhere else than amazon. They work here because they have no choice and are underpaid.. hence the "modern slavery". No strong force but an economic system that leads to the same result
The problem that no one seems to acknowledge: one IP doesn't necessarily mean one person or entity behind it. Residential ISPs often use a single public IP as an exit point for many subscribers simultaneously. So if one, just one, of these subscribers does something that our internet overlord Cloudflare considers nefarious, everyone else sharing this IP gets punished for doing nothing wrong.

I can't upvote this comment enough.

It is a completely different world. You've heard the words - "cancer", "Alzheimer's", "stroke", and others - but you literally can't imagine the scale of suffering involved until you find out first hand.

I'm not sure people aren't willing to talk about to them. It may be that most people simply don't have the experience, and so are happy living their lives until this other world comes knocking.

I suspect it would make a huge difference to many things - not least health care funding - if there was more awareness of what these words mean.

I can’t imagine an industrial approach that won’t fail on scale, lifecycle or both. These are not strategies to solve the problem these are strategies to get rich.

The only kind of strategy that seems capable of delivering on both scale and lifecycle is one where we enhance the environment to capture the CO2 for us and store it in the organic food chain simply by scaling it up to hold the extra mass.

Most likely we would have to enhance plains and deserts to become forests. Use regenerative agricultural practices and eat less meat. The big opportunity is in the oceans. There are wast “sea deserts” that could be transformed into more biological active habitats by using our industrial base to build some kind of structure to protect small life. Perhaps also disperse nutrients to accelerate biological processes.

I'm always confused when people say Fahrenheit is great because it's "more granular" and makes it easier to decide what to wear. Do other people use clothing this differently from me? How many increments worth of clothing variation do you have in your wardrobe?

Based on all conversations I've had so far, it seems Americans just think their intuition being tied to Fahrenheit (because that's what they're familiar with) make Fahrenheit intrinsically more intuitive.

I live in the North West of Germany, so based on the local climate this is how temperature works for me:

180°C/200°C (365°F/392°F): oven temperature; this is a good default for most frozen goods, e.g. store bought frozen pizza

Roughly 100°C (212°F): boiling water; this is what comes out of your kettle

Roughly 60°C (140°F): hot water; anything above this will probably scald you

Above 30°C (86°F): warm summer; without wind chill it's probably going to be humid so loose-fitting clothing is a must

Around 25°C (77°F): warm bordering on hot; above this temperature it's probably going to be annoying indoors without ventilation or AC, a few degrees more and I'll find it hard to focus while working

Roughly 20°C (68°F): "room temperature"; legs and hands may get cold after sitting for prolonged times but otherwise it's warm enough to wear a t-shirt outdoors but too cold for shorts

Around 15°C (59°F): a bit chilly; may feel warmer in spring but below this temperature it's probably getting a bit too cold for t-shirts

Below 10°C (50°F): cold; you should wear a jacket and with a bit of wind it can get uncomfortable

Around 0°C (30°F): freezing point; risk of black ice and there might be snow, so you'll need proper footwear

Below -10°C (14°F): very cold; you probably want to invest in proper winter clothing because those jeans might get a bit chilly

Below -20°C (-4°F): extremely cold; it doesn't get this cold normally so you're probably not equipped to handle this, time to bring out that winter gear you bought for your last skiing vacation

Note that this is aligned with the metric scale because that's what I've grown up with and hence what I've tied my intuitions to. If you looked at the Fahrenheit temperatures in isolation they would seem completely arbitrary so it's not surprising the inverse is true (e.g. 80°F is 26.7°C -- and this also settles the "more increments" argument as Celsius temperatures are usually given with a decimal and rounded in casual conversation).
That's not at all what I said or mean.

Working with nature means using natural systems to produce food with less human energy and fossil fuels, and chemicals, and cutting down forests.

A quick quote from the referenced work:

"""
The pragmatic and practical approach to the main body of this work largely omits reference to those visions or beliefs classifiable as spiritual or mystical; not because these are not a normal part of human experience, but because they are arrived at as a result of long contemplation or intense involvement with the mysteries that eternally surround us.

We may “dream" understanding, but it is something we cannot demand, define, or teach to others; it is for each of us to develop.
There are things that nobody else can help us with, but in a book written to help people make real-life decisions, to build new landscapes, to regenerate damaged forests, and to lighten our load on earth, the present need is for clear and practical approaches.
In the preceding chapters, well-tried and common- sense techniques and strategies of earth restoration have been described and figured.

All of this comes to naught if we, as a people, continue to invest in arms and destruction, to permit land abuse, and to fail to tackle the social and political impediments to reclaiming desertified and abused lands, or even to prevent the poisoning of land. Thus, the following sections give strategies for change in the social and economic areas of society.

These strategies may, in fact, be of more assistance to real change than the skills of land management, for society has far more competent farmers and engineers than it has ethical ...

Another issue is that due to their age, a lot of XML tools ignore the existence of Unicode (or UTF-8).
People working in those sectors themselves acknowledge there is implicit bias. And the difference remains even when you control for dangerous work (I.e looking at people who only work desk jobs).

You may never get to 50;50 but there is no reason for the disparity to be as large as it is - any more than women (or any any other immutable characteristic) don’t self select not to be CEOs or similar.

And articles like this tell you you don’t have to look too far to find out what the real reason is.

It doesn’t seem to show which publications these were in. Some of these headlines only show up in this article itself, when I Google for them.

> "For every ton of phosphoric acid produced, the fertilizer industry creates 5 tons of radioactive phosphogypsum waste..."

Is that correct? That sounds unsustainable, as well as unprofitable.

Also, is it safe to presume that if the cost of proper disposal was reflected in the price of food, food would be significantly more expensive?

Finally, are there particular foods this is used for?

PeerTube doesn't even help there, it just means that innocent end users will be hit with DMCA notices. In a way it's worse than BitTorrent because at least with BT you could make some kind of argument that end users knew they were doing something illegal (even if that argument was dubious). Now you'll have people visiting a website that looks a lot like Youtube and getting DMCA notices because of some background music in a video they were watching.

(For the avoidance of doubt, I think PeerTube is great technology and I hope it wins, I just don't think it has any chance of supplanting Youtube any time soon).
Usually I'd agree with you, but this arguments works as a heuristic with a 70/30 split. Maybe even 90/10, if you have some data. But when we're talking about a single woman on thousands of men in the job, personal preference is very probably not the reason.

Hi, podcast host here. I got the transcript done through rev.com and didn't proof read it because usually they are pretty solid. That was a mistake, I am fixing it right now.
The paper says 2.0 GJ per tonne CO2. One GJ is 278kWh, and annual emissions about 36 gigatonnes, so that comes to 2.4 terawatts to absorb all our emissions.

Global energy consumption is about 18 TW[1], so 2.4 TW is a lot but not outlandishly so. It makes sense to look at global energy rather than just global electricity, because the input to this process is heat. We'd need clean energy sources, but we have those. Since we need heat and can use a fixed amount of energy constantly, high-temperature nuclear reactors would probably be ideal.

It would be silly to do this instead of decarbonizing electricity production and converting to electric cars, but we also have to deal with steel and concrete production, agricultural emissions, long-haul jets, etc. Let's say we need one TW to cover emissions we can't easily decarbonize.

Nuclear power produced 2657 TWh of electricity in 2019.[2] Divide by hours in a year, that's 0.3 TW. Assuming 50% thermal efficiency, it's 0.6 TW of heat energy. So basically, triple the number of nuclear plants in the world and we can absorb 40% of our emissions.

Some of the high-temperature designs are fast reactors or thorium breeders. If we use either of those, we won't remotely strain our nuclear fuel supply.

There are other methods of absorbing CO2, like reforestation, topsoil restoration, and olivine beaches. But most methods have scaling limits. Direct air capture with basalt sequestration[3] and/or carbon-neutral fuel production could easily play a large role.

Your counter-argument is about semantics. Logically, it only reinforces my argument. Unless you're suggesting that global warming is natural and not caused by humans...

If you agree that 'artificial selection' can work quickly (as scientific evidence suggests) and you believe that humans are the main driver of climate change (as is the consensus among climate scientists). Then my proposition that evolution can work very fast in the context of global warming (being an 'artificial', human-driven process) is a logical conclusion.

QED.
Look at my other reply, which was above but is now below. The number of participants required to be likely to find any who stay above water gets very high eventually, much higher than 1,000,000. This can just be calculated.

After 500 trials, you need 279 heads to stay above $1 net wealth. 1.5^278 + 0.6^222 = 0.50 and 1.5^279 + 0.6^221 = 1.26, so that's your breakeven point. The probability of getting at least 279 heads in 500 coin flips is 0.005364, so with 1,000 participants, you expect to see about 5 still above water.

At 1000 trials, the breakeven point becomes 558 and the probability of getting at least that many heads in 1000 flips is 0.00013614. So the expected number of people who stay above water in a pool of 1000 participants is 0. Out of 1,000,000, it is 13, so you're right, there are some, but at that point it's not nearly enough and we're not sampling the ones whose wealth is enough to actually bring the mean back up, so it keeps trending to 0 in any sample of a practical trial size.

This is a pretty interesting property of this problem, really. It's not related to ergodicity, but just the relative proportion of probability mass represented by above 1 and below one itself trending asymptotically toward 0 even though the analytical expectation trends toward infinity. I don't know that there is even a word for that, but seemingly which of those moves faster toward its limit would determine what sample ensemble average you really see when the number of realized states is far less than the number of possible states.

This probably has some implications for Pascal's Mugger type problems in decision theory. If some course of action has potentially infinite future payoff and destroys expected utility calculations because of that, but the expected number of possible universes in which a positive outcome happens at all trends toward 0 faster than the expectation trends toward infinity, that gives a decision rule. In this specific case, don't take this bet, at least not in an indefinitely repeating form.
It is definitely a sequel to Space Jam. Just because it doesn't have a number in the title doesn't mean it's not a sequel.

Delphi was first released in 1995. Screen real estate at the time was very different. When people started using measures other than pixels there was a huge codebase using them already.

The translation systems were really atrocious. I had to develop one myself because the ones that I evaluated were useless.

It took me a couple of weeks, but once I found the right (and only reasonable) way, with the help of library introspection features it was very easy to add new automated translations.

I wrote it down in my defunct blog, 15 years ago. I guess you didn't find it at the time.
