there are many incentives in place to accelerate solutions

I don't believe this to be true. If you look at the incentives currently in place they're well short of what could be considered the minimum recommendations of any of the previous reports.

This is not an indicator of a world that takes climate change seriously:

Thank you for those insights.

I've long held a grudge against Microsoft and NCMEC for not providing this technology, because I live in a country where reporting CSAM is ill-advised if you're not a commercial entity and law enforcement seizes first and asks questions later (_months_ later), so you end up just closing down a service if it turns out to be a problem.

This puts it into perspective. PhotoDNA seems fundamentally broken as a hashing technology, but it works just well enough with a huge NDA to keep people from looking too closely at it.

NCMEC needs a new technology partner. It's a shame they picked Apple, who are likely not going to open up this tech.

Without it, it's only a matter of time until small indie web services (think of the Fediverse) just can't exist in a lot of places anymore.

I mean that is broadly how we come to compare wealth, we don't spend much time going into the weeds of how that number came into being and what assumptions were made there. So I'm not surprised that some people think that of money.

That being said he has gone through a divorce, he did lose a good chunk of his assets pretty quickly. Sure it was just a reallocation of assets, but unless you specifically want all of that money in cash you don't need do actually sell it. Banks for example will give you cash against the value of shares, allowing you access to liquid funds while you're slowly selling the equity.

Anything specific cause you want to spend all of that money on will probably have a limit at which you can spend at, there just isn't enough stuff in the world or people offering services to absorb all that wealth instantly. Trying to cure all the world's diseases will very quickly consume all lab and relevant researcher capacity, which will only grow at the rate people start skill retraining to this new lucrative career.

So I'm not sure it matters? I mean assuming the underlying share value doesn't freefall for some reason.
I'm almost ready to give up fish, as I gave up birds and mammals long ago. Fish is going to be a very difficult texture to replace.

Another alternative is insect protein which I am in big favour of. Mealworms for example make great meatless burgers:

I've happily eaten insects as a regular meal in the americas and other countries, and see it only as a cultural barrier for it to be introduced large scale in western markets.

I did math in undergrad and I am now going the computer science PhD route. I think basic math really helps and some fields like combinatorial optimizations are good as well, but most of mathematics is only useful for pure mathematicians and physicists. Except for niche fields like topological data analysis, I have yet to see any application of homological algebra, algebraic geometry or PDEs in computer science.
What else can we do? They have a fundamental right to deny all your science by putting fingers in their ears and screaming lalala. And they exercise it. And they have as much voting power as you do.

To be clear, climate change is very likely to present us humans enjoying our comfy lifestyles with extreme (from our perspective) difficulties. It is not, however, even remotely comparable to a large meteor impact.

Yes, but it doesn’t mean carbon capture. The Netherlands cannot exist without geoengineering and more and more places are going to have to be building dikes and sea walls as flooding becomes a problem.
Desalination would become more and more prevalent as we are dealing with droughts and we will likely have to engineer forests to be more resilient to forest fires by creating more and more clearings and other barriers to serve as firebreaks as well as planting new forests that may be less inducive to forest fires.

Discover the Benefits of ReactJS Development for Enterprise Apps
Efficient app development. React uses JSX (Javascript Extension Syntax), an extension of Javascript that allows developers to work with HTML and Javascript efficiently. In addition, developers can create individual components and reuse them as needed throughout the application.

Intuitive user interface development. React is easy to learn and use. It has a lot of developer-friendly documentation, and the component-based approach is pretty straightforward.

Quicker rendering with the virtual DOM. React uses a virtual DOM for its components. As a result, apps built with the framework are highly performant and efficient.

Faster development with reusable components. React allows development teams to save time by sharing and reusing components. Thus, they can build component libraries or even leverage generic features from commercial sources.

Scalability and flexibility. When best practices are implemented. React can be used to build flexible applications that can handle large amounts of datasets and users.
There is a whole bunch of things between these two which doesn't require that much math.
Launch a startup. How much does it cost?
Just use language X only works when not relying on 3rd party WASM libraries, also I bet emscripten sees much more use on the wild than Rust.

WebGL additional validation is so good that the only way to work around exploits is to blacklist user's hardware, OS and GPU drivers. Thus rendering those nice 60 FPS scenes into a single digit FPS caused by software emulation.

Security would be so much better if liability was already thing across the industry, and not only on high integrity systems.
> But there is new hope that deep cuts in emissions of greenhouse gases could stabilise rising temperatures.

How is this possible when you have water vapor in a positive feedback loop, which is a far more potent, prevalent ghg that increases with any rise in temperature.

"Water vapor reduction" has to be part of the message at this stage, not just carbon reduction.
What if they are actually a democratic majority?
Are you sure this wasn't a variant of this problem where one of the result is already known? (Hence the "order" bit). There is a famous problem with endless debate about it, it goes like: a family has two children, one is a girl, what is the probability that the other one is a boy? Depending on the exact wording you can get 2/3 or 1/2.

In your case say,

A: let two coin flips, one is known to be tails, what's the proba of two tails?

B: two coin flips, I show you one which is tail, what's the proba of the other also being tail?

In the first case we don't care about the order and the answer is 1/3, in the second case we do and the answer is 1/2.

No that only shows we can change the climate, not engineer it to best suit humanity.
On what evidence is your opinion based?
No one means "3D engines programmer", "browser front end developer" nor anything ending with "engineer" when they use the word "computer scientist". The fact that I have to explain this is rather shocking.
Not sure I understand your mitigation point: If it is already too hot in some areas or flooding gets extreme, people living there would probably want mitigation now, not later. And if this just happens in ten years, also need to start thinking about mitigation now.
> Objectively, there are a lot of really crazy designs that no one would wear in the real world.

Objectivity is an ideal we can strive towards. And several crazy and expensive designs are worn in the real world. I have seen it with my own eyes. The people who are able to afford those clothes either:

- Have bad taste (A subjective judgement which is logically wrong, since it is absolute)

- Really like that look

- Don't care what anyone thinks of them

- Want to display their high status

- Want to stand out from the crowd
An ice age is a global temperature difference of about 5 degrees. So we are going to have at least a third of an ice age’s temperature delta in heating, if we do everything right, and two thirds if we do business as usual.
Taxing it means : the rich will be able to continue to fly while the poor, not being able to travel anymore because of the tax, will support the burden of climate adaptation. That's not justice.

And that's the issue : climate change requires a global effort and if we want to have the masses to adapt, then we must have the elite to adapt equally.
A lot of people don't realize that Australians cannot leave Australia -- for quite some time now.

On the basis of the current "situation". I can see them restricting entry, but restricting leaving???

You have to go through pretty tough hurdles to get permission to leave the country. And the courts have ok'd the government's power to do this.

I'm saying this, because I'll probably never go to Australia, but the government there is actually one of the worst in the universe of "free" countries right now.

The right to travel -- man... that's one of the things that we hated the Soviet Union, East Berlin and North Korea for... and now... Australia.

And on top of that, adding more surveillance powers. What's going on down under???
The kind of people that end up working in the kinds of call centers that do these activities are not the kind of people that experience a "free market" of employment. They're abused because they are unable to work elsewhere, so they tolerate it, no matter how soul wrenching it is, because they need money to live.

Working at a call center is akin to emergency medical care, but for financial surviving.

If you have a spare supercomputer I'm sure the scientists would be happy to help you run their stuff. The IPCC report cites its sources, you can go and check who the authors are and what the models take into account.
Yes and I don't think people are going to wake up till everyone faces the consequences of climate change in their personal lives, which is quite honestly just sad.
This doesn't seem like a good idea. What about features that take 10000+ lines of code? I'm guessing you ask your devs to split them across PRs. Is it really a far cry then to pull commits via rebase. If your PR commits are good it shouldn't be a big deal.

Not to mention how do you revert commits on master? A big PR that broke prod will lead to nastyy merge conflicts when reverting.

There is not a lot of math involved in working on compilers and programming languages (My PhD was on compilers).

Sure there is some, but it is all easily learned on a case by case basis without a heavy math background.
No, I found it really cumbersome to use.

Although I will say that is the case for every sync product I've tried and I have tried most of them.
It also seems companies are moving faster than politics. E.g. deprecating ICEs by 2030/35, without any policies forcing them. The mere discussion about increasing CO2 prices triggered coal power plant operators to think about phasing those put before any policy enforced coal exit.

The pessimist in me will only believe any of that, and any positive impact, once it happened. Not sooner.
1. It wouldn't segfault, because it's the kernel reading the data. It can read from anywhere.

It will, but it's easy for people to detect and needs to be around 10% to kill someone, about a hundred times more than hydrogen sulfide or chlorine or carbon monoxide.

If the baseline is superheated steam, I'm not very worried.
That a carbon price is a good idea is pretty well known among economists. I believe there was a Nobel price for the idea.

Proper productive conversation has been tried. People are labeled as deniers not just because "different opinions" but because they don't even share the same sets of facts from which to start.

That's very much by design, by not having indexing of the logging content it's much much leaner and efficient. It's aimed at a completely different use case where you already know the set of log streams you want to monitor.

> 40% of the public who see climate change as some kind of job destroying conspiracy.

These people are not the ones who need to take action, so who cares?

Policy makers are the ones who need to act, and they are already well aware for most of the consequences of global warming. The issue is that a lot of big corporations (The ones which really control police makers) are not going to be advantaged by transforming the society to a more respectful one regarding nature. So things move slowly, until things are getting really bad and day to day activities are drastically affected by global warming

There really seem to be different ways of quitting. You can quit while remaining addicted, but you can also quit by getting over the addiction. Clearly, you have taken the first path, i.e. are playing on hard mode. I know this path well, but for my final attempt somehow managed to take the second path after 10 years of smoking. It was easy. It continues to be easy. I don't know, but I suspect if I had one cigarette today, I'd be back to a pack a day tomorrow, so in that sense I'm still different to someone who has never smoked in the first place. But I don't have the slightest urge to smoke that first cigarette.

If we could get a clear understanding on how to facilitate this second path, that would truly be helpful to a lot of people.

Unfortunately it would seem we're in for a wild ride either way. Unless I've completely misunderstood the projections anything we're seeing right now is small compared to the rate of change expected in ~15 years. And (again assuming I've understood) the system has a lot of inertia so there's no way to completely prevent the changes at this point.
Yeah, I don’t mean to be disparaging but the average person doesn’t really seem to grasp this beyond: it’ll be slightly warmer. And in a cold European climate, most people seem to think that’s a good thing. Warm summers are enjoyable when you’re swimming in the sea and having barbecues in the park.

Maybe there should be more focus on the frequency and intensity of storms, floods, extreme heatwaves, etc.

Although to be honest if this is lost on people up until now anyway, what hope is there?

A significant number of people just don’t seem to care.

Stupidity is one of humanity's greatest virtues.

Because it allows entrepreneurs to come up with solutions for the "stupid" that simplifies problems.

An even greater virtue is "laziness".

Trillions of dollars are made off the laziness of people not wanting to do one thing or another. Isn't humanity great?

I'm only saying, see it as an opportunity and not a problem. Because it is what is it, and we can never change it. Best to live in a world of what "is" than what we would like it to be.
Isn't this taking TDD to literally? Verifying that a new test is indeed broken doesn't deserve a separate commit. The presence of that test in the codebase with all tests passing is enough. If your devs are writing new tests that are already passing your team needs a better lead, not more build controls.
This isn't the case - I am not aware of any CMIP6 model (the latest generation used in the current IPCC report) that doesn't include clouds.

Clouds are definitely complicated, as they are smaller than a typical model gridbox. This means that there are lots of uncertainties about how to include them in climate models. Their response to a changing climate is one of the leading uncertainties in our understanding of past and future climate.

As you say, it would be difficult to simulate the climate if you didn't include clouds, and so models absolutely include them.
If this is true and content of pictures can be unhashed to a 26x26 picture this is ethically a total nightmare. Nobody wants to carry a phone with child porn with them, discusting if you think about it.

> A lot of people don't realize that Australians cannot leave Australia -- for quite some time now.

Do you mean pre COVID? When I visited 10 years ago I had to pass through a checkpoint (maybe customs) after checking in, before security. I’ve always wondered what that’s for as we don’t have that in the UK.

Many countries now effectively have instigated a permission to leave the country system. It’s highly worrying. Many many freedoms have come under assault since early 2020
My working definition of stupidity is making poor predictions that lead to self-harm. The more stupid the predictions, the more extreme the self-harm.

I'm not sure trying to improvise a way through a novel kind of conflict counts as stupid so much as untrained. Maybe there was someone in WWI saying "This is obviously wrong and won't work - we should do this other thing instead."

Maybe there wasn't. At this distance it's hard to tell.

We tend to call someone stupid when the quality of the predictions is worse than some population median, and the self-harm seems both unsurprising and trivially avoidable.

Stupidity is only loosely related to IQ. Low IQ people don't have the horsepower to make good models, so they're often blindsided by challenges. But high IQ people can have bad beliefs and poor models. Without self-correction and a reality-testing loop they're just as likely to believe wrong and dangerous things.

One of the most toxic things that happens in politics is re-framing a problem away from rational competence towards emotive and narrative non-logic. If you can succeed in this, you can make people stupid. Emotion and narrative, especially ego-gratifying and tribal narratives, are reliably unrealistic models that lead to poor predictions.
I agree with everything you say here but feel the ">20 years" hides something.

Let's optimistically assume you are correct. If you could flip a magic switch right now and stop releasing carbon and fix all the other related problems, you would still have a massive delay of many decades (40 or more years) in bringing down air temperatures. The problem then becomes how do you survive the climate interregnum? This is why governments and private industry need to be working closely together, and nations with other nations. On the one hand, this will probably be the greatest job creation sector in human history, but on the other hand, we aren't all going to make it.
Why? It's an excellent principle, especially for debugging. The biggest benefits of your commits and commit messages are not you but future code reviewers. Imagine someone reads the blame on a file and sees WiP commits (that absolutely will eventually happen), that's nightmare fuel.
