Maybe the media coverage and your perception of it are more short term, but this has been a known issue for a really long time, since the greenhouse effect is well known and can be studied in the field and the lab, and even observed on other planets. Oil companies internally knew this 40 years ago (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97...) and some of us have been quite consistent on this for decades. Media scaremongering is a separate and distinct problem from global warming.
Maybe I could say "rough estimate".

When charging it seems to be a fixed multiplier vs the instantaneous kw charging rate.
This comment is wrong on several levels. First, citation needed for the starvation hyperbole. There are more than a few competent people predicting that tackling climate change will actually create jobs because we will have to solve a whole host of new problems. Things like distribution, mass manufacturing, long term maintenance of equipment, design of the systems in the first place and on and on.

Second, "scientifically proved or not"? Are you really questioning whether we've proven climate change is occurring?

Finally, if you've been paying attention, you'll notice that the voices telling us that climate change is an individual problem and not a policy reform/regulation problem are basically Big Oil propaganda designed to demoralise you with guilt. It's not about individual action. I would still recommend it for spiritual and philosophical reasons, but not scientific.
One thing I've thought about – how much harm did the Chrome team do by adding default outlines to focused elements? Although well intentioned, I think making it the default for all users resulted in pretty much every website adding "outline: 0" to their css: https://www.google.com/search?q=chrome+remove+blue+border, which ultimately harmed the ecosystem for keyboard only users.
I wonder why this is coming out of Google and not Verily.
The fact that it's happening isn't being disputed. The prediction that it will be catastrophic is.

The NASA article you linked is reputable, but pay attention to what it actually says - it makes no predictions of impact severity.

What the article DOES say: methane is responsible for 1/4 of all global warming, it's increased 9% in the last decade, and 250% in the last 17 decades (avg 15%/year).

Longest run I've seen (posted in another comment above) starting in NW Montana: https://river-runner.samlearner.com/?lng=-113.26136901231438...

5570 km (3461 miles)

Rivers fluctuate between 3 to 15 mph on average (quick Googling).

At an average of 3mph: ~48 days

15mph: ~9.6 days

7mph: ~20.6 days

I'm sure the time of year you decide to run the experiment would change the results pretty drastically.
> The earth's climate has changed on a scale of 10-100 millions of years.

Wrong. The last ice age only ended about 11000 years ago -- our ancestors lived in a world where most of the British isle was covered by ice.

> The current sharp increase in a span of a century is completely unprecedented.

This might still be true, however. Mankind should do something about its carbon emissions. But please stop all this doom saying, please.
> we are warming up and should/can solve this

Let's begin from the premise that the climate scientists are largely correct in their models and that climate change as a dire threat is not fraudulent.

No, it can't be solved. That's just math. There is absolutely nothing that can be done about it realistically, and it's exceptionally obvious at this point. It's time for the "we can save the world" people to stop leading everyone on, unless they can present facts and real scenarios that back up their claims (hint: they can't and never do).

You'll notice that technologically we didn't come remotely close to doing anything in the past decade that will enable us to move as fast as we'd have to. Where are the great energy & resource breakthroughs? They don't exist and by the numbers we needed them yesterday.

The world will add 2 billion people in the next ~30 years. Nearly all of those births will be in the developing world where emissions are going to continue to skyrocket. Solar, wind and electric vehicles aren't going to solve that problem.

The emissions that the US + EU cut, India will add.

China will add an entire US-worth of emissions in just the next 10-15 years. If you had a magic wand and could put the US to zero emissions tomorrow morning it wouldn't make a bit of lasting difference to the situation. This single fact of reality makes all the "we can save the world" arguments false.

And that's merely two countries. Then you have parts of Latin America, Africa and developing Asia, where emissions and population are going to continue to rise substantially.

It seems increasingly clear that the so called experts claiming this can be stopped know they're lying, and they keep lying anyway. What's their plan for immediately stopping all emissions increases across all of the developing world? There is no such plan, they have no intention of implementing or calling for such a plan. Thus, they're lying.

There is no scenario where anybody can get the math to work out on what's happening. And you'll find that nobody even attempts to, they just issue empty statements about how we need to take urgent action and then we can save the world. They'll never present you the real scenarios for the actions necessary to immediately turn back all emissions increases. It's fraudulent intellectually, it takes a small amount of time to analyze the context and know that.
The first wave of consumer gen4 SSDs that all used the Phison E16 controller were only good for about 5 GB/s out of the ~7 GB/s possible (and 3.5 GB/s on PCIe gen3). But the newer gen4 consumer drives that started hitting the market last fall come a lot closer, and this summer a lot of those are getting refreshed with newer, faster NAND that will have PCIe 4.0 as thoroughly saturated as PCIe 3.0 has been for the past few years. Phison has already clearly stated that their next high-end controller after the recently-launched E18 will be a PCIe gen5 chip, and the E18 is fast enough to finish out the gen4 era.

> Antiquated and offensive language also gets a makeover. While Liddell and Scott defined βλαύτη (blaute) as “a kind of slipper worn by fops”, in the Cambridge Greek Lexicon it is described as “a kind of simple footwear, slipper”; κροκωτός (krokotos) is no longer defined as “a saffron-coloured robe worn by gay women”, but as a “saffron gown (worn by women)”.

Does anyone else see the irony here? The article claims that these scholars are undoing damage done by prudish Victorian translators, but they're really just creating a dictionary that's prudish in a different way.
They could have done that from the start, like Oracle, but they choose not to for a reason, most likely to save money.

So now they either have to support Rocky Linux, and hope others do to, or pay the full cost of maintaining a RHEL compatible distro.
What is more important than your Goals?
Predicting the future is the hardest job in the world. Given that, my standards to be anxious about the future based on predictions are very high. Climate scientists are also heavily incentivized to be apocalyptic, since the more dire the climate situation is, the more funding people want to give scientists to study the climate!

I haven't seen evidence presented that climate scientists can accurately predict future climate given correct inputs. (E.g. if you give scientists the correct information on the activity of the sun and amount of greenhouse gasses emitted for the years 2010-2020, and plug that into a climate model from the year 2010, it is unlikely to give you correct temperature for the years 2010-2020).

If they can't predict it that means they don't really understand it.

I would happy to be shown the evidence of climate predictions that are more accurate than would be expected. (E.g. I could draw a trendline from the years 1900-2000 out through 2020 and be mostly right. I would expect climate scientists to be substantially more accurate).
Jesus fucking Christ that's a stupid annoying video.
Could design a website that was the equivalent of "imagine coming home and finding somebody had removed every switch, button and lever from every device in your environment; What would you do?"

i.e. where "able-bodied" visitors would have to figure out how to interact with the site without all their usual means.

If you designed it right and maybe even gamified it (in a good way that doesn't trivialize, that challenges you to learn), it might entice young and old to explore what it means to have to interact with the world without the benefit of X.
"Maine soil grows three things: potatoes, blueberries, and rocks" is an adage a hundred years old.

The silver linings brigade is running out of threads to pull on.
Your counterexample is misleading, because a single simplistic function call is what happens in most of the code, e.g. creating spans for an arbitrary point in the code is like, 1 function call[1] after setup. I don't see anything egregious here. Of course, you also have to record where the span ends, but that's part of the game you're playing when you move beyond logs. You have to record that.

What you're probably looking at is all the boilerplate set up, e.g. configuring the provider and backend to point to the right stuff. It reminds me of SL4J, which isn't actually an insult. It's just boilerplate, because people want a lot out of their logging and tracing systems.

Demo applications like this are often easily misleading because there are only like 50 lines of "business logic" and 50 lines of tracing setup, so it makes it seem like the tracing is excessively hard. But those two things don't scale the same way. In a large application where tracing is really valuable, you'll have 100,000 lines of business logic, and still only 50 (or maybe like 100) lines of tracing setup, per application.[2] Actual usage at the call sites remains only a line or two in most cases, and easy to add as you need, where you need it, just like a logger.

It is also worth noting in other ecosystems like when I played with tokio_trace, I found integrating tracing easy, even at the very start. So some of this definitely involves the "philosophy" of the client library.

The distance between the Earth and Sun, which is 93 million miles on average, varies throughout the year. During the first week in January, the Earth is about 1.6 million miles closer to the sun. This is referred to as the perihelion. The aphelion, or the point at which the Earth is about 1.6 million miles farther away from the sun, occurs during the first week in July.

Can we just gradually boost Earth a little farther (on average) from the sun? Or we could blow up the moon, reducing tidal fluctuation, and thus coastal flooding. Plus the debris would reduce sunlight imparting a cooling effect.

He's definitely got a point. I had some memory problem with a business calculation I was running, I needed all the memory I could get.

So I looked at the various memory hogs on the linux installation and could see that every Vim invocation had a node process hanging off of it as a child, that's the Coc code completion/language server client running. (Action => only trigger coc for certain filetypes)

And I had vscodium running too, and it had its own long lived subprocesses hanging off of it, for language support, etc.

A lot of apps are like this - humongous clusters of processes (firefox, teams, vscode, and also Vim with the right plugins...)

The definition of algorithm and intelligence are mutually exclusive. Maybe you are asking a different question?

I'd say the problem is not enough people understand what the solutions are. Those who push the apocalyptic narrative included, as they tend to be against nuclear energy (a clean, safe, compact, 24/7 source) and even shut down existing plants. Which have been getting replaced by coal!!
I subscribe to this view as well (no kids to worry about), but the people busy wanting to save the world don't like it, because now they have to deal with denialists and surrenderists.

I feel half bad about it, but the whole pandemic has shown how odd this capitalistic world is. People need to work to earn money, but a lot of work generates CO2, directly or indirectly. There was an interesting article last year about how the flower industry in Europe basically shut down (no weddings and no restaurants needing decorations meant no flying in fresh flowers from Africa, and no employment for the flower growers). Or how some countries need jet loads of tourists to survive...

Fusion research hasn’t ever been funded well enough to hit the various timelines. If people fund it, or if computing power gets cheap enough to solve the remaining research problems in-silico rather than with a demo reactor, we could plausibly get it in 5-10 years.

99.9% of all species ever existed are extinct today.

The world have been through 5 mass extinctions.

In other world, nature doesn't care about us what so ever.

Humans are the only species who have ever had a chance to be the exception to this trend by using the same ingenuity that lead us from less than 1billion mostly starving people who on average died at 40 to now 8 billion people and with plenty of food and resources and we keep getting better and better at it. Dead from drought have gone down 98% the last 100 years.

There are no scientifically demonstrated consequences of climate change that we can't deal with today, let alone tomorrow. And we will do that through using more energy, cause at the end of the day, there is not shortage of resources only knowledge. We will find the solutions to the issues that arise over time.

Being human should make you hopeful.
People were referencing exactly this in 2018 when BTC hit $20k and even taxi drivers were talking about cryptocurrency. It then crashed a bit and people felt vindicated. Little did they know at the time that it would rise again all the way to $60k, and people are fucking buying decommissioned power plants to mine… And it’s not just BTC, meme shitcoins created within an hour are apparently serious business now. Rationality is mostly out of the window, it’s hard to predict anything anymore (well, at least harder than ever).
Your quote snipping here is somewhat disingenuous:

That's an admission that webRequest won't be removed until there is something better than DNR on the table.
This is a disingenuous framing. Ice ages are part of a geologic-timescale cycle; there have been four significant glacial periods over the last half a million years.

Human carbon barf is not.
I don't feel hopeless because I understand that we are being manipulated by these apocalyptic predictions. They will not pan out. Really diving into the projections from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, RCP4.5 and RCP6.0 are the most likely of the scenarios. This news headline isn't really "news." We basically knew we had already reached this point. Everyone keeps focuses on the high-emissions scenario, which is unlikely.

Yes, I want to overlay the code directly into the parent method, preferably with appropriate syntax highlighting and whatever other goodies the IDE/editor provides normally. It would be read-only to indicate that it's just a transient overlay, and not an actual code change.

So, if I have a code like:

auto Foo(Bar b) {
return b.knob();
}

auto Frob(Frobbable f) {
auto q = Foo(f.thing());
return q.quux(f.otherthing());
}

auto DoSth(Frobbable frobbie) {
auto a = Frob(frobbie);
return a.magic();
}

Then I want to mark the last function, and automatically turn it into:

auto DoSth(Frobbable frobbie) {
auto foo_1 = frobbie.thing();
auto q_1 = foo_1.knob();
auto frob_1 = frobbie.otherthing();
auto a = q_1.quux(frob_1);
return a.magic();
}

Or something equivalent, possibly with highlights/synthetic comments telling me which bits of code came from where. I want to be able to keep inlining function calls like this, until I hit a boundary layer like the standard library, or a third-party library. I might want to expand past that, but I don't think I'd do that much. I'd also like to be able to re-fold code I'm not interested in, to reduce noise.

What such tool would do is automating the process I'm currently doing manually - jumping around the tiny functions calling other tiny functions, in order to reassemble the actual sequence of lower-level operations.

I don't want this to be a tooltip, because I want to keep expanding past the first level, and have the overlay stay in place until I'm done with it.

EDIT: languages in the Lisp family - like Common Lisp or Emacs Lisp - feature a tool called "macroexpander". Emacs/SLIME wraps it into an interactive "macrostepper" that behaves pretty much exactly like the tool I described in this discussion thread.

EDIT2: See the excellent demo upthread by '
emilprogviz - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27306118. That's the kind of tool I had in mind.

The prevalence of cellphones causing cancer headlines in your list suggests that you're intentionally picking articles that have a strong anti-science bend.

Really, all you've proven is that articles that are weak on scientific rigor are weak on predictive power.
Here's one virologist, Dr. Duehr, who is very confident that covid-19 doesn't have any connection to the Wuhan lab. He backed it up with a detailed reddit post [0], the most comprehensive collection of referenced information that I have seen on this topic. There's a 34 page pdf [1] version of this post that is easier to read.

Specifically regarding the lab leak scenario he references genetic evidence from early cases elsewhere in Hubei province [2], cases hundreds of miles from Wuhan from before the Wuhan meat-market super spreader event. These earlier cases are genetic parents of the cases from the Wuhan market super-spread event. Not the other way around. EDIT: Here's another source [3] that gets into genetic detail, a microbiologist saying the same thing.

I'm curious if you have something from a virologist saying the opposite, that it is more likely that the virus came form a lab than from nature. Most of what I see seems to be the opposite, that the lab is a possibility, but not the most likely.
