Even if it all were true, it won't last for long. We're in the supercrisis. It's unlikely that it will end any time soon.

Fossil fuels sources are depleted. Without fossil fuels there's no agriculture as they are used to produce fertilizers, also tractors, harvesters, etc work on fossil fuels.

It's possible to go back to the technologies of 17th-18th century (wind energy, etc), but these technologies are unable to support the current population of Earth and current lifestyle. Population would have to shrink to the size of the world population from 17th century also. Also, no cheap plastic toys everywhere. No huge suburbs with huge houses and cars with 4-6 liters of displacement to move from home to work.

From reading news it looks like there're no serious science and technology advances. All the advances are concentrated on how to brainwash world population more effectively and extract the money and attention by providing spiffy useless toys like cooler smartphones.
I'd counter with the opposite sentiment. If Intel's foundry play pays off, they will still be big and important. All these companies designing chips need a place to manufacture them. While Intel's own chips might be decreasing in marketshare, they still have an opportunity to get a tiny sliver from of everyone's pie... and that pie keeps getting bigger.
> What features do other browsers have that Firefox

this is not a meaningful question. I don't know any major browser that still misses features. If people don't use firefox, it likely that they're not happy with factors such as snappiness, its UI, power usage or synchronization of extensions.
It's definitely been getting worse over time.

There are people in these comments suggesting that only people who think global warming was already true become climate scientists. Or that people only push global warming (and vaccinations!?) because they want to control people.

It's disheartening.

I’m pointing out the papers in the linked study literally have different definitions.

Highlighting how this stuff really isn’t credible. It’s junk.

Regarding your link, those counter points are... very unscientific or well reasoned. Take point #1, we all agree climate changes, it snows half the year in the northern hemisphere. What caused the snow isn’t anything we did. But I’m 100% sure you could find correlations, which is all these papers do. Just like humans likely didn’t cause the earth to heat 20,000 years ago when the North American ice sheet melted. But that correlates to when humans arrived in North America.

The problem with correlations are that you need a large volume of data to suggest causation. We don’t have that.

Because of those claims of causation, the field has lost significant credibility

That's incorrect afaik.

The reason why it does not require an email address is because there have been instances where very valuable information was supplied regarding company internals by 'noob' accounts, so consider that a feature.

As for bots and PR manipulation: HN expends a lot of effort to reduce these, so your argument makes no sense. There is no benefit to HN to seeming 'busier', the pay off in HN is that it is a community of people that YC (the parent company of Hacker News) can tap into as the feedstock for each new batch of companies that gets launched out of YC. This means that the community is the pay-off and being 'busy' or looking busier than it really isn't in any way a requirement for that, in fact it is a distraction.

The fact that you've been here only for 30 days is telling (though you may have been lurking for much longer), you probably should check your assumptions about what HN is and how it functions until you've been here a bit longer.
I find your comment spot on, there are a lot of good places out there, but in the same time, the amount of developers needed and the demand surpasses the offer, so a lot of less experienced people are drawn into positions that they are not ready for.

I know I might get some hate for this, but one of the most demoralising things for me recently was to feel out that I wasted my life and youth for nothing. I spent 4 years in a CS focused high school, where 60% of our classes were just maths and CS, then spent another 5 years at the university. Even though most of the stuff learned there is theoretical and most of my knowledge comes also from freelancing and learning on my own, the actual formal education I think it also helped, especially in the university where we had some amazing professors.

What I see now is that everyone is getting into learn to code programs, a colleague from my company, who was a PM went to a 3 month JS/learn to code course and is now officially a "programming instructor", another friend was a journalist, took a 6 month JS course online and is now a "senior" developer. I understand and know people that switched careers, spent a lot of time on learning to code and are great developers, but most of the people aren't like that, and it feels somehow demeaning to our craft, that now after a 3 month online course, everyone is a developer.
Well, if we look at the simpler question of whether we should do anything at all, even in the U.S. we have about two-thirds who think that the federal government isn't doing enough to reduce the effects of climate change [1].

Two thirds falls short of what I would consider "consensus", but it is a solid majority. In a well-functioning democracy one would think that should be enough, but unfortunately our democracy is not particularly well-functioning which means that the backing of two thirds of the public isn't enough to get legislation passed.

To be fair, though, once you start talking specific proposals you'd get variable levels of public support. Cap and trade? Carbon tax? Biden's platform when running for president, if I remember correctly, was essentially all carrots and no sticks -- additional subsidies for EVs, federal funding for solar and wind, and so on. That's one way to get the public on board, though I personally think we ought to have a carbon tax too.

Single-user mode is clearly not what is happening with root. It's not like any app just can elevate to root, there's always a request requiring authorization, just like account elevation on windows and sudo on Linux. This is not idiot-proof, but if you view your users as idiots, that's telling... About the bootloader: root does not require secure boot off, if (!) root is built into the rom in the first place. In this case it still protects against many attacks. FS encryption protects against many of the remaining attacks.
Lineageos does not offer root anyway, so that cannot be the reason it doesn't have secure boot. Its probably just that they do not have that focus on pixel, and other bootloaders don't support relocking security for custom roms.

It also solidifies the notch as an Apple brand symbol, at a time when it may fade from the phone within a few years.

For me, brave comes with built in features (ad blocking, ipfs, tor) so I don't have to install 3rd party extensions... In the end I have zero extensions installed.

That's not "practice", that's a book. I'm asking what _you_, _specifically_ do to achieve your stated goal of "thinking globally, systemically, and holistically". Did you give up travel and vacations, perhaps? Get rid of your car? Stopped buying crap you don't need? Switched to locally sourced plant based diet? Moved to a smaller house in a warmer area where it doesn't need to be heated for 6 months in a year? Be as specific as you can. It's not idle curiosity, for two reasons. For one thing I dislike people who just talk about stuff, collect the online brownie points, and then don't really do anything (I'm not saying you're one of them though). For another, I'm trying to modify _my own_ lifestyle to be less carbon heavy, but without ruining my family's quality of life too much.

Security cannot exist in vacuum, it always refers to a threat. That security you speak of is the security of apps against "attacks" by the user. This fight should take place on the app's backend, not the user's phone. The phone should be a user's agent, not an idiot-proof tool of oppression.
Also from the Kali Yuga Wikipedia page:

I think seasons aren't really a relevant example of climate changing. Here's the Wikipedia definition of climate: "Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in an area, typically averaged over a period of 30 years." [1]

You do have a point on credibility though, in that over-politicization causes the field to look much less credible.

Right? I’m curious what pro’s do “at the indy 500”.
Most devs where I work use 15” macs and probably a blend of apps from jetbrains toolbox. Mostly connected to power outlets to be fair.
So we’re talking local installs of spring boot app Java servers, front end Webserver, an IDE to work on one of those, because opening a second one on a Intel mac will either run the dev out of RAM or the heat will cause a shutdown.

The thing is, the corporate DELL windows machines available were largely unsuitable to dev work due to the trashy interfaces (low resolution screens, bad trackpads, battery life so bad you can’t make it through a 2 hour meeting undocked). The Windows laptops available really failed hard when they needed to be laptops.

> The only magic in the wins AMD and Apple have had the last few years have been in them being effectively a manufacturing process node ahead of Intel.

While I mostly agree with that, the fact that Intel are also moving to a chiplet-style architecture that AMD adopted beforehand means I think there is at least _some_ other bits AMD was ahead of Intel on aside from purely the process node.

I'm nowhere near as knowledgeable about this stuff as others, but from my understanding from Dr Ian Cutress' articles and YouTube channel, Intel is somewhat following AMD in this area. I could be misunderstanding, of course.
I'm not sure what particle physics experiment you are talking about, generally it is very difficult (or even impossible) to show that something does not exist, so I think the story likely went somewhat different (although the gist of it might still be correct). I'm not a particle physicist either though.

Regarding your comment on ML and consensus, I think there is a bit of a misconception of what scientific consensus is. I would say it is much broader than the examples you give. ML is essentially terrible example to argue about consensus, I would say there isn't even consensus about what ML even is, let alone any of the details of how you train a network.

Regarding your earlier example about loss, I'm a bit confused. Isn't it that in optimisation theory the goal that you want to minimise your loss (so lower loss is always better)? Now that might not mean that you should travel along the steepest gradient (this might lead you to a local minimum) and your loss might not represent what you actually want to optimise for (i.e. your loss function is faulty). But from a fundamental theoretical point of view, you always want the lowest loss?
From what I can tell, this discussion is drifting beyond what I originally disagreed with in terms of what you wrote: That there is a strong correlation between the effectiveness of policing and what you consider to be desirable properties of Japanese society. Your latest response instead seems to focus on Japanese zoning, population density, etc. Which, while I certainly understand enough to discuss, is not something I introduced into our discussion and I also do not see in your response above how you relate it to our original discussion point either.

I usually only monitor posts for a few hours after I make them, but before I “move on”, you wrote: “And that's how most Japanese live. Don't get it twisted”. That is not a particularly friendly way to respond to a person, especially as I can not see how I anywhere have even hinted towards a suggestion that all Japanese live “on top” of each other. Perhaps you thought my point about “knowing your neighbours” was about privacy? I can assure you that it was not the case (which hopefully becomes apparent if you reread it in that light) and that what I wrote about Japanese society (in my experience) is equally applicable to the large cities and out “in the country”. If you want to dig further into this on your own with me “gone”, there is plenty of reading about “wa” which is pretty much what I describe. Although I fully admit that seeing the implications and complexity of the concept took me many years.
That's a good starting point for a paper. Now you just need to collect the necessary data that shows that current climate change can be explained by natural cycles. People have tried to do that, and, as the scientific consensus shows, did not succeed.
My ex wanted to get married and I was keen on the idea.

But it is a scary endeavour with no practical upside, high financial cost and absurd legal risk.

If marriage is to prove you love someone then I don’t think I want to bother loving anyone.
I think we need to separate the usefulness of pop-science literature from its accuracy. In the great words of George Box "All models are wrong but some are useful".

The science is still emerging so of course its impossible to write an accurate book of this breadth, but does that make writing a book wrong? I don't think so. As the conclusion says it just needs to be "read as a subjective account".
Please stop spreading these lies or misinformation. These have all been studied, but they do not correlate with the events. The only phenomenon that fits the data we have is man-made carbon emissions.

Could it turn out that quantum gravity is responsible for global warming? In principle, yes. Should we fund a new study that checks? No.
It's probably a problem of feedback. Seems tempting to blame people, but it's unlikely all mathematicians and physicists are upstanding scientists while economists and psychologists are secretly cheaters. It's more likely that in some fields you get faster and better feedback, while in others it's a lot more fuzzy and prone to interpretation. Which just makes it a harder problem, doesn't make them worse scientists.

> Add: '-site:pinterest.com' to your Google image search to avoid pinterest results.

Even though I usually remember to include this manual filtering for images in my searches, it's cumbersome and inconvenient to need to type it, and I definitely don't want to have an extension that handles it for me. And even worse, is the enormous and growing proliferation of sites that just scrape StackOverflow and spam the top 10 places of code-queries with their robot-written word-salad of stolen results.

I've even thought about writing a terminal script that includes all of these sites, and which I could use as an intermediary step for opening searches in my browser. But honestly - a simple exclusion list should be a part of the built-in search.

edit: btw the exclusion needs to be '-site:pinterest.*' to totally exclude this pestilential image-stealing 'service' from results

I think that by installing vim on all your editors, you are missing out on a lot of productivity.

You are basically giving precedence to text edition over code edition. When you use an IDE, you are editing code, not text, and that IDE's key bindings are optimized for that purpose.

I suggest you take the time to learn native key bindings to whatever tool you picked and see where that gets you, you'll be surprised after a few weeks.

No doubt the things you mention make marriage less attractive, but I think it's also worth noting that more and more young couples are choosing not to have children. I suspect, based on my own experience and that of friends, that this is a big factor in decisions not to marry. Why get hitched if you're not planning to start a family?

Rafting is not the term I'd use for post Ubaid sailing and rowing explorations. Look at the rock art of that time, especially in egypt and slightly later scandinavia.

My experience as well. I, too, have a dell precision with a 8 core xeon part, and while it looks decent its heavy and not noticeably faster than the m1 I replaced it with when it came out. The xeon would get hot and noisy when running teams or hangouts. It sits in my drawer for the last year or so.

M1 does not. Code compile is about as fast. Battery lasts a 3 day business trip or a hackaton without charging. I never heard its fan. I dont care much about brands, but lightweight, fast enough and well built M1 is praiseworthy. I am not getting the pro or max, as the benefits for me as a software dev are probably not worth the extra weight and power consumption.

What one must do as a citizen is put pressure on the government.

And, as a consumer, one should also make climate friendly choices, but it's not the most important thing and it should not distract us from where the real difference is made.
"Most Software developers also can skip the 2021 lineup since compilation and build of most languages happens in a single core and thats what consumes all the time."

First of all: "that's".

Secondly, anyone using modern tools has build pipelines that are capable of maxing out all available cores, including most developers targeting Apple platforms using their Xcode app. In those situations one also needs lots of RAM and fast I/O.

I found clang multi-core benchmarks on geekbench.com:

M1 Mac Mini 8145 = 63.5 Klines/sec https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/10517829

M1 Max MBP 13442 = 104.7 Klines/sec https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/10496766 (similar for M1 Pro, which should be the ideal model for most developers as they rarely need top GPU performance)
I don't remember exactly, but I couldn't use it.

Why can’t Rosetta 2 do the x86-to-ARM JIT translation inside the “Docker for Mac” VM instead of using the (presumably slower) QEMU emulation?

Or is QEMU smart enough to do the same translation that Rosetta 2 does which, if I recall correctly, only loses about 25% performance compared to native x86?
> My argument is that most people don't need the capabilities offered by brand new, top of the line models. A used laptop that is a couple of years old is, I think, the best choice for most people.

I think you're correct. But also the majority of people will buy brand new ones either way. And a lot of them will spend much more than they should too.
