I tried reading the article you linked to. I honestly can't get past the intro:

As noted above, the first bullet of the main findings states that the heatwave was "virtually impossible without human-caused climate change." Sounds very certain, doesn't it? Virtually impossible.

Then read their next bullet:

"The observed temperatures were so extreme that they lie outside the range of historically observed temperatures. This makes it hard to quantify how rare the event was"

On one hand, they say it is hard to quantify how rare or unusual the event was, but on the other, they claim the event was virtually impossible without human-caused climate change.

Both statements can not be true. You can't be uncertain and certain at the same time.

What? The writer seems intent on purposefully misunderstanding the study. "This makes it hard to quantify how rare the event was" is equivalent to the situation of not being able to speak about a "100 year storm" because there haven't been any storms that strong in recorded history. In other words the data is so different from historical data that there's only one reason why: human-caused climate change.

And yet more people use email than Slack. My parents don’t know what Slack is but both have email. So does my teenage daughter. VCs like to see growth of course, so Slack until recently was the winner from a VC’s point of view, and I suspect here at HN we are a bit biased towards that viewpoint. But growth of one single product doesn’t tell you much about the grand scheme of things. Email is a very good example because no other messaging product has more adoption than it.
Maybe so but most data science workflows still don't acknowledge this "obvious" truth.
I used it for a while until it got me wondering - what, exactly, is their business model? And why do I trust their judgement on how reliable reviews are?

This is not to say that Amazon reviews are generally good, just saying that Fakespot might have an incentive to... tune their reviews of reviews :) so where's the Fakespot of Fakespot?

Five years. FIVE! And that stupid "RussiaGate" shit keeps being reheated.

After five years we STILL haven't seen the slightest hard evidence of any sort that can be examined properly.

In the show, Norway had also designed a thorium reactor and were going to share the plans for free. They announced that and that they were shutting down the oil wells at the same time. Russia's main goal was to stop Norway from sharing the reactor design, because that would reduce Europe's dependence on Russia for energy.
I wonder if spacex will enable a spacex version of satellite makers. Some one really into astronomy wants a telescope on space, they put together a biz plan to sell time, pitch it to investors, and use starship to put in orbit affordably.
> In capitalism ownership also extremely easy to acquire and readily offered as a great motivator.

The 1% own 80% of all stocks, so I disagree ownership is extremely easy to acquire. Acquiring ownership of valuable assets requires capital, and capitalists own most of that.

> In a newly created company? With what money?!

I said behind every billionaire, not a newly created company. i.e. there's no such thing as a self-made billionaire. I'd love to see an example, but so far no one has been able to show me one.

This is the crux of our differing point of view I think. You seem to think a billionaire built their business by themselves (self made) and therefore deserve to be billionaires due to their extraordinary merit. I believe that no one has so much merit, and the success of large businesses is more due to the value created by employees.

I can understand for entrepreneurs, that the first narrative is more appealing. But even if I were to agree with you that capitalism is a system that awards compensation proportional to merit of businesses (which I don't), it still doesn't follow that a founders are reaping rewards proportional to their merit; when a business grows in value, that value is allocated to shareholders according to their ownership stake, not their individual merit.
That’s the way it was until the passage of the communications decency act. Early social networks found themselves in a bind in that if they tried to moderate for say, spam, or porn, or copyright infringement, they were then liable for everything their users published. The CDA was an attempt to solve that problem.

If we detect it with enough time ahead (which is very likely we will), it’s not that hard to deflect. We have already landed on asteroids and we certainly have the technology to give it a light, but constant, push in the course of an year or so. We don’t have the technology in case it’s found only days before hitting the earth. But that is very unlikely.
I saw some of the same things you'd have seen in the MoMA (not actually called that) in Nice, France. Walking into the room of these insanely blue paintings and sculptures was almost a religious experience. It's the first time I experienced Stendhal Syndrome[0]. I just had to stand there and stare for a while.

Yves Klein's "Leap into the Void"[1] is another one of his works that really grabbed me when I first saw it. Can't quite explain it. Those are the best types of art experiences in my book.

> That's not how heresy works. People don't point fingers at you and hiss "heretic!"

I mean...yes that's exactly what they did. Excommunication, run out of town, branded, marked, labeled in public, put in stocks, jailed, killed, yelled at, or just straight ostracized. These are all tactics that have been used in the past to label and punish heretical beliefs. They could absolutely still be used and, if you look at "cancel culture" in the right/wrong light, that's exactly what's still happening.

This is actually a real problem, it's quite fixable, and not enough is being done about it. I've posted a link before to the PJM grid's training materials about this, which few will read. If you're really interested, go read the training materials on emergency procedures. I'm not going to provide a link. It's not the end of the world. The last time this happened, there were some breaker trips and blackouts, and one transformer burned out.

There are a few places in the electrical grid where you woud like to have a big capacitor between the center of the transformer delta and ground. That hasn't been done enough. Also, having more large spare transformers around would be good.
However, monitoring DC current flow between the center of the delta and ground is in place, so that the need to shut down can be detected before the transformer overheats.

It's not likely to hurt anything other than long distance power transmission. Nothing else has continuous wires hundreds of km long any more. Effect on fiber optics is zero.

Incidentally, this has nothing to do with "EMP", which is something else entirely.

This one is easy to misapply. If you are applying your domain experts to the model, you might have a bad time. If you are applying them to the data, most likely not. And data is usually more important than the model.
>In just a few hours the lawyers had trained a model that provided the outcome of all 80,000 judgements without needing the input of a data scientist at all.

If this is meant to imply it predicted them all correctly, that rings alarm bells to me. 100% accuracy is much more likely to mean something is wrong (label leakage?) than it is to mean you have an amazing model.

It's rational only if you don't think those powers will ever be turned against you. Once you realize what you're creating is a mechanism to censor rather than a particular instance of censorship, self interest should force you to realize that the censorship mechanism that you're supporting can be turned against you.

I was just thinking the other day about how much flying for business meetings is done for the point of having somewhere to fly to. It’s purely a lifestyle thing dressed up as some kind of necessity.

A high-ranking coworker of mine is flying out to NYC for a meeting next week. This is a guy who’s been working from home since covid started. Why all of a sudden does he need to fly anywhere? Why can’t another zoom call work?

If and when we have full-fledged businesses on the moon corporate execs are going find a reason to fly there too, just to tell people that’s what they’re doing.
They don’t ban candidates from running ads.

Every MITM-as-a-service starts off by being a neutral conduit to attract users, and then slowly adds restrictions to appease advertisers. But users never appreciate additional restrictions, and so Google (et al) have to keep marketing themselves as general hosts lest they lose even more mindshare.
Nobody is ignoring the tools that are available to improve public health. Two of those tools, the ingredients list and the nutritional information, are there to support individual responsibility through informed personal choices.

It is best to understand that people can make informed choices. It is very shortsighted to think that everyone is subject to the magical sway of marketing without a conscience or decision making abilities.

The existence of personal choice and individual responsibility don't make anything else that you mention disappear. Are you saying you want to increase behavior modification of people and somehow rob people of personal choice? That's what your words imply.

So? That doesn't change the fact that being gay is okay and being racist is bad. The obvious connotation of the post was that "don't ask, don't tell for racism" is bad in the same way that it was bad for homosexuality in the military - but there is obviously no comparison between being gay and being a racist.
I wasn’t thinking they would be responsible for determining legal or illegal. That would be determined by courts and the legal system. For example, libel/slander would require a judgement, not the provider saying they think it’s libel/slander.

> Rust in practice is likely not as safe an ecosystem as C#, because Rust users are more likely to use unsafe blocks for performance tricks.

But this suffers from selection bias: people don't tend to write the same sort of high-performance libraries in C# as they do in Rust precisely because of how much harder it is to squeeze out every last drop of performance from a managed language (even taking into account C#'s own `unsafe` keyword). If Rust didn't offer `unsafe` and only privileged its own first-party constructs then it could certainly produce a more broadly safe ecosystem, but it would not produce a more useful one. And therein lies the whole point: the goal of Rust is not to produce a safe ecosystem for its own sake, but to provide a more reasonably-safe alternative to C and C++ for the sorts of things that C and C++ get used for.

Show me scientific papers that credibly warn about human extinction because of climate change, and I will change my view immediately (hint: the IPCC reports DONT, and those pretty much mirror the current scientific consensus).

But what would it take to change your belief that humankind is likely to go extinct because of climate change?

> Regarding Global Warming it is fairly uncharted territory, now we know that models from 10 years ago were overly optimistic and that things are happening at much faster rate than expected.

Maybe. But projected outcomes have not really changed. Hansen et al (in "Science", 1981) alluded to potential flooding of ~25% of Lousiana/Florida, given the total loss of the west-antarctic ice shield (= +5m sea level). This is WAAAAYYYYY worse than what any current model predicts for even the absolute worst case in 2100, but even this scenario would not lead to human extinction, not by a long shot.

> Regarding full fledged nuclear exchange I would ask you to write a paper and make computer model, I do not know what is your field of work do you have a sufficient knowledge to do it?

There is no point: We agree on the facts, basically that there are not enought nukes to blast even half of humankind and fallout/nuclear winter won't suffice to kill the rest.

Hofstadters lab did a bunch of related work but it hasn't been taken up broadly and I'm not sure how much real traction they got. I agree it's interesting.
In recent history they twice attempted to remove a sitting president. One of the votes could be considered a strong bipartisan rebuke of Trump because several Republicans (ie, low single digits) voted with the Democrats.

The next election confirmed Trump had one of the largest support bases in history by number of votes and lost a fairly tight election to Biden (noting that US elections are determined by swing states, not absolute vote counts).

There was at least a shade of un-democracy in those impeachments. The Democrats weren't implementing the will of the people there, it is pretty clear they were trying to implement the will of Democratic people and override the results that the system had come up with.

And historical records for post-Roman and early medieval Britain are just very limited. Very few documents exist from this period, and those that do exist (like the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle: [1]) limit themselves to discussing events of great importance: the births, deaths, and major acts of royalty, battles won and lost, major weather events, and unusual celestial phenomena. The construction of a hill engraving probably wouldn't have been written down.

I'm saying no CDN is obligated to vend content in violation of its TOS. Content available at drive.google.com is quite different from content hosted at your-site.com: you control the content at the latter. It's your TOS to enforce there.
