I honestly thought this was so established as to be obvious. I was mistaken, so, sorry. Here's a link that talks about how plants deposit carbon into the soil:

https://academic.oup.com/bioscience/article/60/9/685/237929

The key line would be this, from a cursory reading:

"Long-term (millennia) C sequestration can be achieved when C from aboveground biomass transfers to the roots and enters the pool of SOC or SIC (hereafter SC, for soil C)."

Obviously there's more context, but this is why old growth forests are huge carbon sinks: because they have undergone the process of sequestering carbon into the soil uninterrupted for such a long time.

Again, apologies for taking the above for granted. Maybe it is less well known than I thought.
Part of the advantage to tweet threads like this is that other users can reply directly to any one of the n tweets in the thread, rather than commenting on the thread as a whole.

Agreed that it can be clunky to read depending on the platform, but there's a reason lots of prominent personalities and bloggers still use them.
Completely correct. An adult should assume the responsibility of their own actions.

Nobody wants anyone to die here, but if something is preventable and you don't make the effort, then don't expect the rest of society to bend over backwards.
The fact is that water is plentiful in some areas while insufficient in others (and the areas can change over time), but so fucking what - you cannot transport it efficiently enough. Well, sometimes you can: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Man-Made_River

It's not philosophical, as it is code generation. The compiler doesn't see the #define. Which means the same source can be rebuilt with different defines and create hilarious undefined behavior.

This also means that there's no way to create a library that supports debug and not debug. And of course no ability for the user of the library to select this at runtime.

Yes, in the world of everything being compiled statically every single time (ala Google's monorepo) this can work, but code generation creates a HUGE number of gotchas, many of which are subtle.

> But I hope it clarifies that they're the same thing.

There're not, though.

void* is "the simplest option that comes to mind", but where a template solution is available, safer, and clearer, it's not "modern C++" to have code with void* all over the place.

"Easier" has nothing to do with it. There are many features in this fine library where the authors have put in effort to make it nicer, instead of just doing the easiest and quickest to implement.
This. I will add to this a little more. A big company is its own country. It has its own customs. It has its own ruling class. It has its own language.

All those things can make things interesting and sometimes misfire in a form of an idea that is not received that well in the real world.
There are things people need but don't want, things people want but don't need, and things people think they want but neither actually need nor want. Demand is not a measure of what it useful, or rationally desirable.
My wife worked for several years. She stopped working when we had our 4th and child care was too expensive.

Now that she is a stay-at-home mom, our quality of life has improved a lot. She has more energy in the evening to read with our kids, she follows up with friends and we are both more social, she makes better food than either of us could do before.

Having a stay-at-home parent is DEFINITELY a luxury and a good decision IF you can afford it.
This isn't so much about basic needs, which our societies generally provide. This is about having more than a minimum standard of living: seaside mansions aren't as abundant as 300 sq ft apartments. We're apes who are wired to show off to other apes to attract mating opportunities and secure the future of our genes (by helping our children get a leg up).
Yes, that whole era was about tech companies trying to balance demands from traditional distributors who had lost their power, and consumers that wanted the freedom they digital media provides. There were many missteps and retrospectively terrible products and business models that were tried before be got to where we are today.

I wonder of the same is true re (broadly) government power. Tech companies are now balancing the power governments and other stakeholders would like them to wield with what people will tolerate. Its not really a surprise there are missteps again.
I think DS9 could have worked even in more serialized form--and, as you say, latterly it was pretty serialized. I'm not arguing that episodes good, serialized bad. I'd maybe come closer to arguing the opposite. I'm mostly agreeing that the mostly episodic TNG probably wouldn't get made today.
You expressed it better than I did.
At the end it is people, but apparently we two have fundamental disagreements with OP (Kliment).

Of course, my comment was on cloud cover above water, near the poles, including the water surrounding Antarctica, which has frequent snowfall including as we speak. Take a look at current satellite imagery of the area surrounding Antarctica: https://www.windy.com/-Satellite-satellite?satellite,-63.744...

Cloud cover is more common over ocean water than on land.

Also, Antarctica's cloud cover is larger in the winter than in the summer: "The seasonal cycle of cloud cover is found to range from 45%–50% during the short summer to a relatively constant 55%–65% during the winter. "

https://journals.ametsoc.org/configurable/content/journals$0...

You can find similar studies on the cloud cover above exposed water in the Arctic.

It doesn't matter how variable clouds are, what matters is an average over a long period of time. Clouds have a far more dramatic effect on global temperatures, because they have the ability to reflect absorption of solar energy in the hottest parts of the planet (the tropics), where ice cannot exist. They can and do form over most of the ocean water which covers 2/3 of the planet's surface. Average cloud cover over ocean water is 90%!

Some clouds scatter light. Some are extremely effective at reflecting light into space. Depends on zenith angle of the light (based on latitude), the altitude of the cloud, water content and shape and thickness overall.

My right-wing friends would be very surprised to learn that the New York Times and Nick Kristof now represent them.
Hey, WW84 doesn’t belong on that list!

- It’s not that bad (60% metacritic, 59%/73% Rotten Tomatoes)

- It at least broke even ($100MM lost theatrically, but during covid, and made up for by new HBO Max signups)

- The third WW movie is still happening
> It's an extrapolation based on known facts.

No it’s not. It’s bullshit based on a complete lack of understanding of the system.

Read any of the public documentation on how it works, and you’d know it’s completely wrong.

There are multiple good reasons to oppose this system. But this:

> All it takes is a wiretap warrant and Apple would have to scan on-device pictures and iMessages for whatever the wiretap says.

Is still complete bullshit. No part of it is true or an extrapolation of known facts. It’s neither true as a technical possibility not even as a legal one.
That discussion was already pushed off the first page, probably because too many people now see Musk for the fraud he is.

Heh, didn't know solarpunk was a thing. Anyway: materials etc are definitely a valid concern, but even in a worst case scenario I'm not sure a complete cost-benefit analysis would turn out negative for such robot. I looked around a bit (because robots in agriculture are a thing already) but couldn't find such numbers. But considering one robot could tackle many acres for many years (hopefully), compared with the kilograms of herbicides/pesticides used otherwise, it's just hard to guess which way the scale would tip.

This is like the reason I quit using Skype 10 years ago. My colleagues and I noticed the same thing: send a link in a chat, and within seconds to minutes a request (or more) for that URL from a Microsoft server would be logged. Done and bye.
Seen this thread going around, but it seems like it skips over the important bit.

> So why the rule changes? Because last December the New York Times published an opinion piece by Nick Kristof caller “The Children of Pornhub” that accused the site and its parent company of profiting off revenge porn, child porn and sex trafficking.

How do you get from 'opinion piece in a newspaper' to 'gigantic transnational financial infrastructure company changes its rules'? In my experience, huge companies do not make changes like this purely on the basis of newspaper columns.

Was there legal advice? Political pressure? Regulatory pressure? All of those would be much more material than a piece in a newspaper.
Apple says their protection against authoritarian governments is that an image must appear in two or more government CSAM databases to be scanned. So if a corrupt politician adds something to the database, it won't be scanned unless a different government adds the same image.

Now, will China follow this? Probably not. But Apple's defense there is that China could have directly ordered them to build this scanning tool at anytime in the last decade anyway. It's not like China has a magical new tool for invading privacy when they could have (and actually have) just ordered tools to be built as desired.
Fascinating case study. I wonder if this will cause an expansion of ad servers without cookies for targeting? It would protect privacy while providing a better user experience.
I think a big difference between Zune and Apple's CSAM issue is that there were people (literally dozens of us!) who LOVED the Zune.

The overarching trend I see recently is that your rights, as an individual citizen, simply do not matter. They will be brushed away by any agenda that has a semblance of globalist right-think.

Your right to privacy, in the face of government agencies executing their mission, does not matter.

Your right to free movement, in the face of a flu that overburdens the hospital system, does not matter.

Your right to free speech, in the face of the need to eliminate outsider politicians, does not matter.

Your right to election security, in the face of the establishment getting their preferred candidate, does not matter.

Your right to raise your children with traditional values, in the face of social engineering guidelines, does not matter.

Your right to bodily autonomy, in the face of globally coordinated medical interventionism, does not matter.

Your right to closed borders, in the face of foreign policy expediency, does not matter.

Your right to eat what you want, in the face of “climate change” activism, will not matter.

Your preferences are simply not safeguarded by your rights, which can be overruled by the whim of “experts.” If you want to imagine how any particular future scenario unfolds, just ask yourself whether your rights would be an inconvenience to the plans of, say, Bill Gates. As a sort of stand-in for the general careerpol/NGO/billionaire/Harvard class running things.

(and most of the media and many of the public intelligentsia merrily support this)
If iCloud is not end-to-end encrypted, why is this necessary? I mean, why can't they scan content on ingress?
> Having control over the HTTP response for the root domain but not being authorized to have SSL certificates over subdomains is already a veriry dubious concern

What about marketing/static hosting sites like Netlify/Vercel/etc? I can point my domain there. That does not mean they should be authorized to have wildcard certs over the whole domain.
Genuine question : Whya re snaps a nightmare on headless servers? Their auto-updating nature does add some stability issues but any other reasons?
Strange preamble: I found the quality of analog landlines to be terrible. Since we got switched over to VoIP, the voice quality is crystal-clear if the person on the other end also has a VoIP connection. It almost sounds too good. Better than most online voice chat stuff.

Why can’t you do that on Facebook? That’s what I do and it worked great. Whenever I log in, there are only updates from people that post actual life updates that I likely care about. I’ve unfollowed everyone else and Facebook respects that. My feed is normally only a page or two long and then they’re honest “that’s all for now.”
>he attempts extraordinary ambitious things that very few other people would even dream of attempting.

What are you even talking about? Thousands of people have thought of tackling (1) self driving cars and have made steps towards accomplishing it before musk, (2) reusable rockets, man that has been on the dreams of rocket engineers for decades but we didn't have the computing power to do it, (3) a boring machine... Well we have been doing that for over a century, (4) electric cars, well hate to break it to you but we have been doing that for a century, (5) mars colonization, I feel like everyone born after 69 have been dreaming of how to make that possible; see (case for Mars).

Elon musk isn't some gift from god who comes up with extraordinary projects that no-one else is even dreaming of. He is a wealthy business man, son of wealth, who invests his time and energy into driving top talent in the fields he chooses to attempt to accomplish what he promises vaguely on Twitter. And just like Jobs, he takes all the credit for engineering achievements that could never be accomplished by one man in any reasonable time frame.
Landlines have been digitized too, a distinct difference to what an analog landline offered.

It was more intimate, you could hear breathing for example.

Most news sites speculate that Visa is likely to follow. OF probably has industry connections that are giving them a heads up.

It's in Visa's PR interest for these high visibility events (like OF's ToS Change) to happen before Visa announces their ToS changes.
Waymo and everybody else are only trying to solve one AI problem. Tesla wanted to tackle two at the same time. Maybe they can do it, but its just an extra hurdle that others are stepping around. Also Waymo has had level 4 deployed for years.
Two things.

One is political give and take. As their people negotiate with particular political actors, "We'll give you nothing," works much less well than, "We can't give you X, but how about Y?"

The other is that the tech giants are looking unaccountable and antisocial. Privacy absolutism is popular here, but there are real social costs to it, so it's not popular everywhere. If Apple can say, "Yes, privacy is important, but we're not crazy; we agree we don't want to help out child pornographers", then that is much better positioning.
Probably because visa will be enforcing similar to rules soon too.
I can't see the paper, but there is some interesting technical details in the supplementary data https://static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10.1038%2Fs418...

In page 15, table 2 they show that they put some Eosin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosin upstream before the water entered the earth, and then they collected water from the springs downstream a few weeks later and measure how much Eosin was there, and used this to estimate how long the water was stored.

Philosophers and legal theorists over the centuries have have come up with the concept of "proximate cause" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximate_cause) for these types of discussions.

Essentially, there was recognition that ALL kinds of things could be seen as connected to a bad thing. But for the miners, we would not have extracted the iron ore that was used to make the steel that was used to make the firearm that was used to shoot the victim, etc. So "proximate cause" is a discussion of whether or not the degree of connection is close enough to make the blame ridiculous or not.

Not really taking a side in this debate here. Simply pointing out that just coming up with a slew of "but for" causes is not a libertarian trump card for everything. Societies and systems can rightfully draw the line somewhere more reasonable.
They're probably not promoting the pornographic content because they don't want that to be their brand. The way to end up on the porn is to be following someone on another platform who is either already posting dirty content on that platform and now wants to monetize it or by following someone who is popular for some other reason but then realizes they can get a lot more money out of their fanbase by selling nudes.
I just huffed some for a few hours straight on Wednesday afternoon. It's a godsend for those of us with dental anxiety.
I'm not sure it is. When people hear "PornHub is disseminating / profiting off revenge porn", does anyone think "shame on their payment processors"? I think the outrage is directed at the operators of the websites themselves.
Yeah, that was lame.
I'm pretty sure that image classification (and now, OCR) works locally regardless of whether you have iCloud enabled.

But that's not the point, the point is that they have known for a while if you have photos of Winnie the Pooh, trees, lakes etc. That's why you can search your photo library.

If they wanted to report that to Xi Jinping, they could just do that. It's unrelated to the CSAM measure.
In both cases the goal should be to reduce the amount. Less ICE engines and less consumption of beef. Impossible and Beyond plant based meat is very close to ground beef and largely satisfies. Electric cars will work for 90% of people in the near future. There will always be exceptions. Sometimes you need an ICE vehicle for a specific application and sometimes people will want a good steak or burger. That is okay. Reducing both by 50% would be a huge step in the right direction and would require little sacrifice.
> Margins in car industry are incredibly tight, car companies invest gigantic amount of capital to remove a few $ per car. These vehicles need to be able to be produced at a run rate of millions per year. If you are proposing to add something that cost 100-1000$ that is a absolute killer.

I don't get this. You have to pay ~8000$ as an extra to get the FDA in a Tesla. Can't they charge the cost of the lidar in there? Now you have to pay 9000 dollars to get it.
First of all, the topic is CSAM, so images videos and the like, not general abuse. I imagine CSAM production is substantially more rare since abuse is a precondition.

Secondly, I don’t believe those statistics at all. You’re telling me 11% of girls have been sexually abused? That’s preposterous. There’s gotta be some selection bias or misreporting.
Princeton Researchers Who Built a CSAM Scanning System Urge Apple to Not Use It

With non-trivial functions and modern compilers, that gives you an upper bound that may differ significantly from the actual stack usage.

There is no requirement for the compiler to keep the memory of all locals distinct.

On more powerful CPUs, chances also are a large fraction of the locals never makes it onto the stack, but stays in registers.

Having said that, compilers for embedded CPUs used to be fairly bad at optimizations (wouldn’t know of that has changed in the past decades)
To think that on Autonomy Day in 2019, Musk promised that Tesla will "have over a million robo-taxis on the road" in 2020 [1].

Musk is a visionary that has delivered amazing promises. That doesn't mean all of his promises are amazing. Some are quite clearly BS (for example, I don't think robotaxis are impossible in general, but announcing a million of them on a 15-month time frame absolutely was).

[1] eg: https://www.engadget.com/2019-04-22-tesla-elon-musk-self-dri...

A clear definition of "elite" is needed to make any sense of this discussion.

"People with Diplomas": We have many expensive diploma mills and some effective schools.

"Educated people who work in their field of study": This is an unnecessary constraint on talent and interest. Also, education does not equate to talent or interest.

"Rich People": We appear to have many, both conspicuous and inconspicuous. You're in the planetary top decile if you have healthcare, shelter, clean air, food, and water, and safety.

"Leaders": We have a system to generate simulacra that protect the corporate assets.

"Brilliant minds": Hard to produce by traditional means. We print diplomas instead.
crypto-related transactions is a different thing from banning banks from dealing in crypto. If banks don't want to deal with the Due-dil that's fair & fine to me. You don't need a bank to use an exchange.

You have created something very neat and useful and I am not surprised there is a demand (though I would be interested to see if it sustains itself when you reveal your pricing, and whether you can be profitable with it).

Crazy idea: make cars that don't rely on microchips and software. As a bonus, they'll probably last longer, be cheaper to repair, and won't distract drivers as much.

There is software in too many consumer goods, usually with very little benefit to the end user, beyond marketing and being able to justify a higher price tag (oooh, it's a "smart" toaster). I don't need the Toyota equivalent of an iPad on my dashboard.

And China could have literally ordered this tool to be built at anytime in the last decade. It's not like China can't just order tools like this to be built anyway.

Apple didn't give them a new tool that China will abuse. China could just order the tool to be built and abuse it if they desired.
