> I’m not aware of any system with a track record of predicting climates that far out.

This is right. Nor is there going to be any such system. The climate is a complex system, meaning it's fundamentally not amenable to simulation. All the models are toys compared to the reality. None of them even attempt to actually simulate what's going on. Not only is it impossible because we don't even know what the phenomena are, it's extra impossible because there's not enough computational power. I doubt humanity is capable of accurately simulating the sugar in a stirred cup of coffee, much less figuring out what's going to be happening with the atmosphere tomorrow, much less 30 years from now.

The models are (unavoidably, necessarily) just toys. They don't predict the future. Anyone who tells you that they are predicting the future with them is malicious or extremely naive. The models just masquerade as science to support political goals.
Oh ok awesome!
Looks like I need to do some proper research on this then - can it really be, the best of both worlds?!
How to Put a YouTube Video on Repeat (Loop) on Computer and Mobile
Unfortunately, it seems like individuals will start spending more money on cooling solutions (air con, insulation). Local government will spend more on wildfire prevention (fewer trees, more housing restrictions) and national governments will continue to promise they'll ban X, Y and Z in 10-15 years (when they'll not be in power or will have quietly dropped the promise in the next election).

I hope I'm wrong but living in the UK, I really don't see how we get from where we are now to somewhere sustainable fast enough to make any sort of difference.
Why are the Nexus phones so expensive then?

Agreed - in fact I bet the original creators thought they were being generous allowing for 2000 variables for their gui editor!

Vendor Engineers: “Who would possibly need more than 2000 variables to make a few custom screens in our new drag and drop screen editor feature?”

Customer Engineers: “Hey we can exploit this new custom screen editor to inject our own arbitrary code! Why have they only allowed for 2000 variables? Idiots!”

But what about when there will be problems with your single point of failure?

Sometimes you'll run into situations where an instance of any software has degraded performance for reasons beyond either your control or understanding. That's one of the situations where horizontal scaling let's you deal with such circumstances better, instead of outright impacting everything and everyone connected to it.

A front end web server container crumbles under the load? No worries, just redirect the traffic to others. A back end API container has problems with the JVM reserved memory and/or the thread pool for processing connections has been filled and all new incoming requests just get queued up? Just have more instances to cope with the load and don't let one instance under load affect all others.

But what are you supposed to do if long running SQL exhausts the resources of your DBMS? What if a background process needs to run some really complicated writes, but your application needs write capability without slowing down?

That's not to say that bad configurations or bad code shouldn't be addressed, but any means of fighting it and minimizing the impact is worthwhile in my eyes.

You are right, though I don't know if you'll cut through the cognitive dissonance.

Still though, even in Ireland, where there is a strong social push-back against the greedy ego mentality, there are still people willing to sell out their environment, country, and grandmothers to get a leg up.

These people have done very well for themselves in the last couple decades, and especially well the past few years.

To further show how right you are, these people have invested considerable resources (that have paid off well) in messing up the basic needs you mention of housing, healthcare and food - and I would add media to that list.

To me, this is the core of neoliberalism, and it is a worldwide plague.
I've got a Xiaomi phone (Mi 10 Lite) and am pretty happy with it.

Hardware is great. Software (MIUI) is adware crap, which I knew when I was buying. I tweaked privacy settings as much was possible, and I use almost none of the builtin apps. Instead I use Firefox Focus+Mobile for browsing, Amaze for file management, Dropbox for file storage and PDF view, etc.

Overall the entire experience is comparable (for me) to a Samsung or Apple phone at 3x the price. The most annoying things are still Google and YouTube ToS accept dialogs I get all the time because I'm effectively using an incognito browser, and I'd get those on any phone.
I think assassinating ideas is similar to how assassinating characters works; the resolution of the matter is about 1% as important as creating the commotion. People who have had Covid and are fully vaccinated are _still_ wearing masks. When asked why they just don't know. If you tell them it's safe now to go out without a mask, then just don't buy it. I believe no matter who tells them, they won't listen until a few years. People are not sheep, but they really really like to be.
Presumably they would then have 100x the cashflow? Enough for a redesign?

The first thought that leaps to my mind, on reviewing this, is that Apple is currently facing a court case in Australia accusing it of being a monopolist. And is facing various hostile inquires, in conjunction with Google [0] as people worry about the power of US tech giants.

It is interesting to me to try and square the software with the obviously (1) competitive and (2) East Asian reality of the hardware. The hardware makers must be in a great position to pull another Apple if they think the market is actually uncompetitive.

It wouldn't be surprising, since they've been rising for 20,000 years. The strange thing about sea rise is that the tens of meters of rise from before the industrial revolution were good and natural, whereas the centimeters since are evil, and definitely due to CO2 emissions.

Ask HN: I'm witnessing a mental health patient being harassed on YT daily
The channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCobl0RfOvXn2WekPS891ldQ

This person has been uploading short videos for years, describing a project of theirs to save the future of the planet. If watched carefully, he gives the impression that his mental health is not stable and he might be having trouble with his delusions. On his good days, he finds the power to actually say he got hospitalized multiple times.

Recently, a Turkish Youtuber discovered this channel and told his audience to be kind and caring to him but obviously it backfired. Many people now go there and make fun of the man. I'm worried it will lead him to a dangerous place if this continues.

I tried my best to report as many harassment comments as possible but none of the comments has gone away yet.

What is the proper way of taking action in these kind of circumstances?

Xiaomi is able to make their phones so cheap by making their software as crappy as possible. They collect a lot of data (yes, their calculator app has a privacy policy) and sometimes show ads. You need a Xiaomi account to enable debugging (adb).

This is a great illustration that physics doesn’t care one way or another, or more properly, from the point of view of physics the question is meaningless.

>> I don't think there's not a universal theory of AI for lack of trying - it's just really hard and non obvious.

I agree, but in that case most of the work done until now is inconsequential and a waste of everybody's time, and we should probably drop all of it and focus on setting down a solid theoretical foundation for future research. But there is lack of any incentives to do that and there are strong incentives to go on as we are now, from demonstration to demonstration of results and techniques that never get anywhere.

> Especially for older people that don't need $500+ flagships

I am not so old, and I also have enough with a cheap smartphone. I just use mail, instant messaging, maps and government and bank apps. None of these need advanced graphics or fast CPUs. Interestingly I need access to Google Play as many official apps from the government are not available in alternative stores.

Said that, I got a Xiaomi cheap tablet and I had a bad experience as it was full of ad-ware and I was not able to install Google Play. The lack of official apps in the Xiaomi app store is not really their fault, but all the ad-ware is, I suspect, why the tablet was so extremely cheap. So, good enough hardware specifications, but somewhat disappointed at the software part.

Never mind "older people", some Xiaomi devices have the same performance as flagships costing twice as much.

I have a Xiaomi Mi 9 SE (had it almost 2 years now), and it's the best phone I've ever owned. Previously I'd owned flagship Samsungs and an iPhone 6.

It's powerful, the display is excellent, the battery lasts 2 days even with plenty use (unusual these days!), the cameras are excellent, and the device itself looks great. Oh, and it cost £340 at a time when flagship equivalents were around twice that - amazing value for money.

Service is great too - the phone stopped charging at some point, but it was fixed within a few days of initial contact, with no quibbling.

My only gripe is the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack, but that's hardly a unique issue.

> Unfortunately, it seems like individuals will start spending more money on cooling solutions (air con, insulation).

It may be unfortunate, but it's also necessary. Investing in improved insulation is a good thing regardless, but I expect air-con to also be necessary. Given where we are right now and the huge inertia in the system, even in the best possible case of 100% of world governments and people getting on-board with reducing emissions as fast as possible right now, we're still looking at severe impact from climate change, and we will have to adapt to cope with the weather events (like heatwaves) that that creates. Hence, air-con. And flood barriers. And making plans for how to use public buildings as heat shelters or disaster evacuation shelters.

(All IMHO, I am not an expert, etc)

I don't want to use the phrase "can permit". Rust and C# have escape hatches, like the "unsafe" keyword. You can write pointer-based code in C#, but the language actively discourages it. The "happy path" is safe code. If you poke through the standard library, you'll notice that there's quite a bit of pointer arithmetic going on, either for interop or performance. On average though, 99.99% of C# code that has been written is safe[1], which is why total beginners can write an ASP.NET website, put it on the Internet, and not get hacked.

The problem with languages like C and C++ is that that the "happy path" is unsafe, unstructured, or an unexpected footgun. There's article after article written about how compilers do bizarre optimisations based on undefined behaviour.

Everyone writing a significant volume of C code is writing code littered with gotos, because as Linus said, it's the only terse way to handle error conditions in C. In C#, Java, and Rust there are structured and safe ways to handle errors (exceptions and the '?' operator). No need for liberally sprinkling code with goto.

Linus rightly makes the claim that "nothing is as good as C" at performance, or low-level control. In the past, this was entirely correct. But these days, even high-level VM-based languages like C# are acquiring features that give C++ a run for its money, and Rust is very close to C++ in performance but much safer.

[1] Memory safe at least. Most C# code is also unlikely to leak resources, unlike most C/C++ code.
