> I tried this sort of thing back in the 90s when I was learning BASIC and making text adventure

Same here :D

I really like the idea, but I see problems. I'm still watching the video, so maybe they'll be addressed.

Repetition: repetition in text can get quite jarring if the text is written like a novel, as opposed to the classic RPG way of displaying it as a text log. It's not unsolvable, but it certainly is difficult. Not only does avoiding repetition require knowledge of previously generated text, I think it also requires adjustments to the game world itself. It can't be Skyrim in that regard, it needs to generate unique and meaningful situations.

Effort of parsing: it takes the user a lot more effort to parse free-flowing text, as opposed to graphical shorthand representations or even photorealistic scenes. We like to spend that effort when we read stories because we get something in return. I'm less convinced that a completely automated but open world can offer the same appeal. It doesn't seem impossible, but it's certainly quite hard.

Of course the other alternative to generating meaning as a reward for the brain's effort to parse the text is to just generate the text with predictable patterns. In that case though, we are exactly back at the point where MUDs left off. Not that this is a bad thing, necessarily.

Admittedly, I'm probably just jaded and very dubious about well-produced videos making a lot of grandiose promises when it comes to games. I would certainly buy this game and give it a try.
>Even a fair and progressive carbon tax will hit poor people harder in relative terms. So even if it hits rich people harder, it will much unpleasant on poor people than it will be on poor people.

The tax is redistributed equally as dividend, so your net tax is negative if you pollute less than average.
Hera indeed only works with Google calendar but we support any videoconferencing tool - we just open the link that we find in the invitation!
Which is why, for this type of research, you use an ensemble of multiple competing models, which also helps with extracting probabilities. If you think their methodology is flawed, then have the decency to respect the enormous amount of effort that goes into this kind of research and point out actual, specific flaws.
Sending a fax is a great way to legally prove someone has received a message without having to physically deliver it.

I once worked for a company that was very unreliable when it came to paying their employees, and I tried to terminate my contract with a fax. There was only a small issue, they didn't have a fax machine.
I’m curious why you ask this question. Does the answer matter or in some way lead to a broader point? If so what is that point? Assume it’s the worst possible energy source as far as you are concerned. Then what is your response?
> account for the externalities.

I feel like that goes against human nature though. Instant gratification > all.
Most models point roughly in the same direction. Read the IPCC reports for expert interpretation of the ensembles.
>Most nations won't bother lowering their emissions.

Why? We can switch to EV (this cuts emissions by 6 https://ec.europa.eu/clima/sites/clima/files/transport/vehic...) and to renewables (another factor for EV, but also households and the whole industrial sector). We can also significantly reduce meat consumption (the easiest and least expensive change).

Personally, I've halves my emissions in 2 years (no flights, no car, vegetarianism, etc) so I don't understand the fatalism. Sure some may reject changes but it's much easier to do than many expect. If one can/will change, others can/will to.
First time I used it, I had not written a line of Go prior, I rewrote our data ingestion gateway from Ruby to Go. It took me 1 week, and it had full feature parity. I don't think I had the GPA at university to land a fresh grad job at Google.

Sure the tooling around it (besides the compiler itself) was the dumbest 21st century tooling I've seen (this was ~6 years ago), but it was quick to learn, quick to write, quick to compile and quick to run so who am I to complain.
I'm sure the founders of Hera know this, but just so there's clear representation here on HN: as a Mac user, I would happily pay $100/year for anything that makes my meetings better. I'd pay more than $100/year. I'd pay $100/year for every person on my team. I don't care if it's an electron app, or 10 lines of Javascript: if it makes meetings better, I'm in.
Although interesting, tobacco is not primarily carcinogenic via this mechanism. Smoking related cancers harbour DNA damage resulting from chemical carcinogenesis, not radiation.
anecdote time:

A few weeks ago I was frantically trying to find an available covid vaccination slot.

I found one doctor who was supposed to have some doses available.

Emailed with no response.

Phone line was either busy or no answer.

I sent a fax!

Even asked my son to draw a corona vaccination to get their attention. Wrote a nice handwritten note that I hope to get on the waiting list.

Got a phone call back with an appointment after 20 min :)

I guess they hardly get any faxes, and those who come in are super boring. So I managed to get through.
Apparently, just having a Russian keyboard defined, but not active, provides some defense. And this detection code is apparently in many ransomware packages, not just for this group.
Progressive elitists cruise overhead in private jets, then tell the common people to stop driving cars. Naturally that message doesn't go over well.

A carbon emissions tax could be politically viable if it was coupled with an income tax reduction so as to be revenue neutral. That way most people wouldn't be worse off.
On the client side, unless the client knows about TFO it's not going to be set up to send data with the initial connection - it's going to use the standard BSD sockets flow of connect(); send();. To usefully use TFO you need to replace the connect() with a sendto() using MSG_FASTOPEN that requests sending of the data you want to send with the SYN.
>If we solve this distribution issue

I recall some shaggy bearded 19th century German philosopher who wrote a book on this.

Thought he was pretty popular with the Chinese government. I'm surprised to hear they're still having problems with distribution 100 years later.
Well that's useful.

I've been using `!tig` forever. For some reason it was convenient enough for me to never turn it into a mapping. I feel like `tig` damaged me in the sense that using tig and then pressing `S` is my usual workflow, so I just can't get used to either fugitive or magit.

Thanks for these mappings
> The main reason

Neither of the two sources you cite the presence of radioactive polonium as the main carcinogenic effect, just FYI. It is a contributing factor, but there are about 70 different compounds in tar that are known to be carcinogenic, one of which is radioactive polonium.

I'm not sure where you train MMA or BJJ, but where I train the self-defense aspect of various grappling techniques are always discussed. There's a reason that it's drilled from day 1 to keep hands inside protecting the head (whether on your feet, ground, or anywhere in between). Next is controlling the shoulders b/c then it's hard for someone to punch.

Every grappler knows pulling guard in a real fight is dumb, with the best position being knee on belly b/c it gives control and the ability to assess the situation for more attackers.

The reason for the lack of small joint manipulation is that it doesn't really work in a true self-defense/life or death situation (and who wants broken fingers for sport?). Heck, I've read of people get their arms broken or shoulders dislocated and keep attacking. You think a finger or toe is going to stop them? LOL.

With all that said, the biggest advantage of training MMA or BJJ is learning to stay relaxed and make good decisions when a self-defense situation does occur. I might have 30+ simulated fight situations per week (with people who know what they are doing attacking me), how many fights in their lifetime has the person been in who may attack me?

Well, that is basically the "back to the stone age" strategy. While I applaud your efforts, I don't think that this would gain any traction in a sufficient part of the population.
The US had a "free market" in the age of the robber barrons[1] and before the creation of the FDA, where companies did what they wanted and "let the market decide".

One thing you can still do is plant native plants. Almost all urban areas are virtually devoid of biodiversity and are breeding grounds for many invasive species which then spread out into other areas and choke out biodiversity elsewhere. If we want to prevent extinction, that's at least one avenue (out of many, undoubtedly) that should be taken.

If I had to guess it is because all of the dependencies had to be compiled too.

In a normal Rust application you break it up into crates. Crates are the unit of compilation, and are only recompiled when something in the crate changes. In a "normal" developer flow you only touch 1 or two crates at a time so normal developer compile time would be a couple of minutes at most. Even for a new build on a machine most developers would never see the two hour compile time because they would have gotten precompiled dependencies.

Slightly more than a Pi. I could not afford one back then, particularly when you factored in the floppy disk drive prices.
I don’t think most people understand what they are agreeing to with regards to data sharing or mining. Ethically, burying important aspects in a ToS or privacy policy that you know most people will never read seems pretty wrong, while it may be legal.
(You know this, but for anyone else reading, don't forget that that doing this compiles LLVM, which is in of itself a massive C++ project, as well as compiling the compiler itself multiple times. That's part of why it would be such an outlier.)
So far, batteries are pretty competitive on the "store energy for 24 hours" time horizon - where you need to power something at night with solar collected in the day, or evening out peaks and troughs in the electricity grid.

But it isn't yet competitive with "store energy collected in the summer for use in the winter".

For that usecase, far more energy must be stored for far fewer dollars to make it competitive vs just having a big fuel tank and a winter-only diesel generator.

Keeping lakes of water for a few months for hydropower are also competitive - the storage capacity of a big lake on a mountain top is immense.

I don't have demographics for China, but in the west there's no particular shortage of hardworking <demographic-other-than-socially-dominant-male>'s doing reasonably well in the market. And their representation in the "hardworking professional successful person" pool is growing over time. That's good, right?

Isn't maybe a better hypothesis that there's an identifiable population of MEN unwilling to work hard if they don't get essentially unfair access to success, and complaining about it? Seems like maybe that's where the solution needs to be addressed?
I was exposed to this while talking to an Amazon recruiter recently, while I also hear stories about how they seem to work people to a breaking point.

The median tenure at AMZN is also 1.5yrs, per linkedin. Their strategy seems to be to work their people extremely hard to earn their RSUs and pay them like plebs with hard caps on earning potential (base comp).
I disagree, schematics are a form of documentation. They are not a design and they are incredibly leaky.

As an example, it's common to group all the bypass caps together in a schematic. This doesn't reflect the reality that those bypass caps need to be physically close to the power pins on specific components. The value is not sufficient to reflect their use.

It's no different from software engineering, the schematic is not the source code. It's a block diagram describing how the source works.
I'm saying they provide no evidence for the claim. They spend a long time going over what is in the config, which they link to, then just say "and they don't target these languages."

Your links supposed anonymous forum post is better evidence, though it's only evidence on the Syria claim is an unlinked announcement and the actions of a group they guess is related.
I'm not a PHP programmer so I can't assess the quality of the code myself but do we know objectively that OPNSense's PHP is better than pfSense? That seems like a big assumption that just because it's been rewritten it's more secure or "better"

Is there any study that gives a model what happens during summer time when entire albedo effect of the northern cap is lost?
I agree. We as humans won't take it serious until some really bad happens. Right now is just inconvenient. Even though you, me and others are willing to take hard steps to allow the problem to get solved, most people are not. It is so externalized that they don't really get it yet. Not to mention the people who don't think it is even a real thing.
Let's say alcohol didn't exist. Then, one day it gets invented...

Traffic deaths would rise because people would increasingly drive under the influence.

In this situation you could say: "This crazy unusual number of traffic deaths near this bar is obviously the result of drunk driving."

In this situation you could not say: "My town had the lowest number of traffic deaths ever recorded last year, so alcohol has not increased accident rates."
We take the good parts of the past (food, green transports), and the best parts of our era (e.g. internet). As soon as we educate young people, and politics help with the urge of global heating, it'll gain traction
Hot take. Ban marketing/advertising?

These are conversations that belong in a physicians office. Advertising is a scam on both sides and destroys instead of creates value for humanity. Historians will look back upon advertising the way many look back upon slavery.
Aikido has a lot of woo, especially from “true believers”.

Putting that aside, it is pretty similar to meditation. It’s not really physically taxing, the movements are intuitive, and it isn’t competitive, so your main opponent is your own mind and heart. It’s a realization that can help you out a lot in other sports or life in general.

One of the most physically gifted athletes I grew up with was fitter and could train harder than anyone I knew, but never amounted to anything in sports, combat or otherwise, because he always completely lost his cool under pressure. Maybe Aikido would have helped him out if he had thought to try it.
Indeed. It goes both ways, I think of people saying "Well, if you admitted your theory can't explain this one particular thing, that shows that it's useless, and can't possibly be explaining the things you claim it does explain! If there's something it can't explain, that means it's unlikely to be valid!" An argument beloved by both covid and climate deniers. Nope.
I think the reason is because there is more at stake. Take last night for example. The defender busted a gut to get back to try and cut out the cross, even though the chances of doing so were minimal - the end result being he put it into his own net. In a normal league game the defender would likely have just accepted his team's fate and Sterling would have had an easy tap in.

>I recently read an article about sea-life [0] boiling to death in their natural habitats (oceans, seas)

This is seriously retarded. The HCO was a whole 6000 years ago.

https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/global-warming/mid-holocene-warm-p...

"In summary, the mid-Holocene, roughly 6,000 years ago, was generally warmer than today during summer in the Northern Hemisphere. "

What are these creatures boiling to death? Did they evolve yesterday?

Six thousand fucking years. The geological equivalent of last week.
Those sorts of explanations are all totally ad-hoc and have no real scientific validity. The English are famously stand-offish yet have worse results than Sweden. Texas and Florida are culturally very similar to other parts of the USA, yet unlocked without experiencing any change in their situation whatsoever and have seen similar results to other US states.

You can find counter-examples like that for more or less any posited influential factor on COVID outcomes, except for obesity. Government interventions in particular don't correlate well with anything. The models are all built on the assumptions that they should have a huge impact, but real data tells us differently - the assumptions the models are built on are unsound.

IMHO it's really a pity the game authors used this to influence the Czech parliament. These models were never validated against reality before being thrown at policymakers, instead the (sad to call them this) "scientists" simply assumed that because the underlying theories are simple they must therefore also be correct. I've had actual scientists tell me "of course lockdown works, it's basic germ theory" which demonstrates a pretty chaotic confusion between theory and reality, but that sort of attitude can be found everywhere in the academic modelling world.

Funny how these ideas are touted until there's an hot summer then all the articles talking about how this _weather_ is a _clear example_ of climate change.
I'm worried that legitimate schemes are being lost in this movement to declare carbon capture as a distraction. Coal companies talking about carbon sequestration, pumping their exhaust back underground, is definitely a distraction. But some of the fuel-from-air initiatives are not.

If we can use electricity to generate hydrocarbons from water and atmospheric CO2 then we can revolutionize transport without relying on batteries. Fuel made from air could be used just like any other hydrocarbon. It isn't economical yet, but that doesn't mean it is a delay tactic. Such schemes offer actual practical answers.
The wealthy will likely gain by climate change, already there is a wall of money looking to benefit from sustainable and transition finance.

Not so well off people might - correctly - see that they will be disproportionately hit. So for them to push against policies (perceived or in reality) making them poorer is not totally insane.
Summer Travel Is Back. Earth Can’t Handle It
> Why not save as much CO2 as possible now and, when we can't do more (e.g long-term shortage of batteries), fully invest in carbon removal programs?

Because carbon removal tech at scale needs to be ready at that point, and it won't be if it doesn't get investment now. I agree it shouldn't get as much attention as displacing carbon sources, but it still needs research investment.
you would, but you don't have to, especially when there are free alternatives around ;)
Nicotine is harmful for your mind more than your body. Every time the need to smoke appears, it replace everything you had in mind, to the point that the only thing you can think of is «Damn I need to go to smoke».
