Maybe my comment in this thread can encourage him to take the calculation further, like trying to find out how many Wh are needed based on physics alone to accelerate the requisite mass of water needed on a daily basis, which gives you a lower bound of how much electricity / fossil fuel / m³ of hydrogen / percentage of nuclear power plant output is needed for that.

I think my unfinished back-of-the-envelope calculation strongly hints at this plan being not practical. Another factor to consider is the large scale impacts and assessment of the sheer predictability of outcomes for the ecosphere and for society alike. To me it looks a lot like some people just don't get that messing with the environment on a global scale is qualitatively different from, say, watering your 300m² garden or turning that knob on the radio.
"Facebook versus The BMJ: when fact checking goes wrong"

Where has it gone wrong?

“We did not call into question the integrity of The BMJ’s story, only the comprehensiveness of it. That’s the point of a ‘Missing Context’ rating.

The BMJ article is being used as evidence of Vaccine Conspiracy theories, it's not like the warning is on the Article, it's where it's shared on Facebook and the missing context label is relevant in that context. A context where the vast majority of people viewing the facebook posts will not understand the BMJ may cover a sub-topic where the results do not reflect on the outcome of the parent topic...

Not necessarily, no - the "perfectly efficient" algorithms often have prohibitively high constants in front of the theoretically perfect big-O, making them only useful/faster for numbers with so many digits that you can't realistically represent a lot of them, even on modern super computers. On top of that, caching effects and different implementations can make algorithmically "worse" code perform better for longer than naively assumed when comparing their big-O.
Myocarditis is a very rare side effect, you generally can't see those in phase 3 trials. You need a lot of people for these to show up, simply because they are so rare. That's nothing new here, this applies to every new drug or vaccine. And Biontech/Pfizer doesn't have the highest myocarditis rate, that is for Moderna.

The vaccines also simply work. They worked very well against the wild type where they also prevented infection, and not only drastically reduced death and hospitalisation. They still reduce death and hospitalisation against Omicron. We figured out now that you really want a third dose for best protection, but that is simply something that you can't know if you have to develop a vaccine on such a compressed timescale.

The mRNA vaccines are the best ones against COVID. AZ and J&J have more serious rare side effects, and they are simply less effective. They're still dramatically better than no vaccine, but once the vaccines were not scarce anymore in the developed world, it made sense to focus on the better ones.

You can open a vscode tab with copilot and have it synthesize many autocompletions.

If I add your comment, a newline and the "func" keyword it does this

If I add some more context, ie "func swap(" you get

https://gist.github.com/CapsAdmin/2c8757887c27f980d1a4c2edfd...

more context, "func swap(x int32) int32"

https://gist.github.com/CapsAdmin/64e0392fe6f3d406a607884583...

I use and like copilot, but when it comes to things like this I generally don't trust it.

I'm not very fluent with bit swapping either, so I would probably resort to google on this one.

If one is willing to perform possible repairs, they can prevent tossing out the original embedded energy cost of manufacturing and delivering the original cast iron product (and many other items), which if one is so inclined, makes choosing the non-gas stove option and re-gearing for it (assuming they have say, only ceramic cookware) for ecological reasons as one decision factor an even more energy-thrifty choice.

We throw away an astonishing amount of goods that in past generations would be repaired, because we heavily externalize the costs of doing so, since we're such a poor civilization in Banks' The Culture sense. Like externalizing the pipeline leak costs of supporting the gas infrastructure that sits behind the gas stove.

Pretty much anything but stare at a computer screen all day. Plenty of exercise (I clocked up thousands of kms cycling), healthy eating, spending time with family and friends, reading (although on a tablet), exploring new music, etc.

It's surprising how much you can do at zero (or almost zero) cost. I never felt like the clock was counting down to get well again which was enormously beneficial psychologically.
When I was about 10, my primary school teacher asked my Mum if I'd be interested to going to our local University on Saturday mornings for additional Maths lessons. It was all funded by the local government at the time, and they had some teachers who basically ran through parts of higher level mathematics in a 'fun' way - did things like work through International Maths Olympiad problems, things that were tangential to the syllabus a few years ahead of where we were but would reach. I went to this til I was 16. For me, who came from a background where I knew nobody who went to University, it was a really enriching experience. It lead to me becoming a physicist. I met other people who were similarly good at Maths where there just weren't those people at my school. It kept me interested in the subject when I found it very dull at school, because it was so easy.

Unfortunately the programme got cut. They tried running it as a private tutoring type service but that made a focus on sticking to the syllabus, and eventually it closed. Was a real shame. There were probably a couple of hundred students across a city with a population of ~700k in the urban area.

Are you sure about that? Because people often come up with theories about how the capitalists are about to abandon everyone to their fate and then it turns out capitalism leads to Waffle House [0]. It makes capitalist sense to do disaster planning.

There needs to be evidence that the incentives point to scrimping on maintenance. Usually the incentives for capitalists is to preserve their capital and keep it is great repair. The is a strong, rational incentive to solve problems like winterisation because the revenue is higher than normal if someone can (and potential profits are much higher). Capitalism will just try to do it cheaply and to a standard that customers are happy with rather than in a politically showy fashion with gold plated "see I've thrown the kitchen sink at this!" style. But it will nevertheless do it if there is any money at all to be had.

When Trump became POTUS, I couldn't find anyone in my social circle who liked him. But apparently, roughly half the country did.

Similarly, I've yet to meet someone who thought Brexit would be a good idea.

What that shows me is that the bubble is very real and that people with those views are hidden from me.

"Do you think it is, or is not, morally wrong for a couple to have a baby if they are not married?" 47% of Americans say "morally wrong". That is very conservative in my opinion.

Yes I keep hearing these lies and half-truths being repeated by same type of people who don't bother to actually check history, which is never further than few clicks away. They always claim the same, I heard these arguments countless times.

KennyBlanken doesn't understand a thing about swiss banking secrecy rights. They were invented much earlier than world wars, aimed to provide swiss citizens privacy that was unmatched anywhere else in the world. That situation evolved and those accounts were used by nazis and jews in a way that wasn't expected (tons of money but often nobody to claim them) doesn't remove the fact tons of people wanting privacy are using similar approach these days all around the world.

Third point is a blatant lie too - when gold was purchased nobody knew about concentration camps which were at its height at last years of the war. The concept of being neutral is so foreign to people who are on the other side they apparently can't comprehend that neutral country is doing business with both sides.

Point 1 - do you have some reference? There were US military personnel interned ie when their bombers which presumably by mistake (but not always) killed scores of swiss civilians in border cities by bombing, and then crashed in Swiss territory. Neutral behavior at its best.

There is not a single country that did only moral things during WWII, everybody fucked up one way or the other. They accepted tons of jews fleeing nazis even after it was clear that country completely surrounded by nazis can't feed itself. At one point they stopped but canton Geneva continued regardless of federal decision. That's what I call humanity.

They helped allies in Italy by giving them full access to piece of italian land called Campione d'Italia in canton Ticino in south, which is completely surrounded by Swiss territory. Allies, mainly US waged quite a few secret operations from there. I agree not very neutral behavior in this case.

Hitler had plan for invading Switzerland after they conquer east, but was very much aware that every adult male had military training up to date and his service rifle at home. They expected strong resistance since Swiss fiercely guarded their sovereignty, combined with uneasy terrain in southern/western parts even mighty Wehrmacht went rather to more predictable fights.

Lot's of conflicts there. You need to polish up your story. Nobody, NOBODY is going to put 500k on a bot which is still in development. Also how come you had exactly 500k? Not 497K or 502K for example?

I've been developing cryptocurrency bots since 2013 and I don't see any reason to sell the signals to anyone ever if they turn out to be profitable. Last year, It seems, I finally made a few profitable bots but let's see how it goes. If they all turn out to be bad, I'm not going to start selling them like everyone else. I'm going to try again.

Beating the SPX500 on bull runs is easy. Just buy the index future with higher than 1x leverage. It will work until we get another market crash. Have you backtested your bots during 2000-2006? How does the P&L curve look?

Sorry, but I get pissed off at people who sell bots to people who doesn't understand how hard it actually is to make them profitable. Yeah, they may be your customers for a few months but then they are going to try another bot hoping it would be better.

I've read a handful of biographies of 20th century physicists recently, which I enjoyed for the same reasons. Ulam was a Los Alamos mathematician (and a great friend of Von Neumann). Anderson discovered the meson, which Yukawa had predicted. Fritzsche named nuclear fission (after doing important work on it). Elasser was a wandering scientist, who (to me) seemed to be "on the outside of the inside"; he gives accounts of his dealings with most of the atomic era players.

- Adventures of a Mathematician (Ulam)

- What Little I Remember (Frisch)

- Memoirs of a Physicist in the Atomic Age (Elasser)

- The Traveller (Yukawa)

- Discovery of Anti-Matter (Carl Anderson)

Also Freeman Dyson's and Feynman's stuff. I'm ever open to recommendations from readers who enjoy the same stuff.

Governments enjoy having power and control over their subjects. The only reason they didn't do this before is the technology didn't exist in previous centuries. The use of spies was more or less limited to high value targets in times of war. It's not like they could have assigned a spy to every citizen in the country.

Things are different now. Espionage is now automatic and large scale, there's no longer any practical limit on the number of people they can spy on. This is alluring to all kinds of people, from the well-intentioned to the malicious. To them, total surveillance is simply an efficient way to accomplish some goal such as catching some heinous criminal or figuring out what your political opposition is planning. They generally couldn't care less that global surveillance destroys freedom and enables apalling abuses of power at unprecedented scales.

The truth is they would very much enjoy the ability to manage "their" citizens the same way we manage running processes in our computers: total visibility at all times into everything they're doing and the ability to kill them if they become problematic. Traditional police investigations are too hard and time consuming, they want the ability to push a button to reveal the entire life of a suspect.
How to Find a Job in Crypto and Blockchain in 2022
Isn't 5 just... microservices in a monorepo?
There are two reasonable argument I have heard.

The first is what some calls spaceship Earth argument:
Imagine that you are traveling on a generational spaceship. You have a really good life support system which keeps everyone able to breath, temperature comfortable or bearable and the agriculture pods ticking. It was built eons ago and nobody knows how it really works, but it works mostly. And then one day a bright eyed, young engineering cadet recommends that we tweak a subsystem. Now remember, you have one spaceship and no hangar, no safe harbour where you can dock if things go fubar. Do you let the engineer monkey with the system risking permanent damage?

Earth is like that spaceship. It is vast, and complex, and things affect other things in surprising ways, and we only have one of it.

The second is about international relations and conflicts:
Interventions into weather modifications have the potential to be beneficial in one area and disastrous at other areas. You create a deluge here and a desert there kind of things. If Somewhereistan steals the water Otherland's farmers would depend on that's a direct threat to the existence of the Otherland state. Predicting and measuring these changes is challenging. Rectifying harm caused might be impossible even if everyone agrees on what happened, but getting such agreement in a noisy world is hard. This makes weather modification ripe for international conflict. The kind where angry man shoots missiles at each other. Which is better to be avoided.

Australia is "far" from other places, so maybe they are safer in this sense, but memetically they are connected to everyone. Once they proved they can manipulate their clouds who is to tell to Somewhereistan that they can't?

It is ignorant to reduce US policies into an ally or not dichotomy. An entity being allied with the US does not mean that it will always work in the interest of the US, e.g., Germany's NS2 project. And US-Ethiopian relations have deteriorated significantly in the past two years. Partly due to Trump siding entirely with Egypt in the Nile/GERD contention, going so far as to state Egypt should bomb the dam. And more recently, due to US engagement in the horrific Northern Ethiopian war, where human rights violations have been committed by all sides. However, the US has only enacted sanctions against the Ethiopian government and its allies. And some Ethiopian officials have accused the US of abetting the rebels.

Having worked in media, I do agree that there are always strings attached to the money.

However, the relationship between money and reporting is not straightforward. For instance, Bill and Melinda Gates foundation and many other lobbyists that pay media are suggesting the topics, not the content.

They pay for coverage and your editor in chief commits into producing x articles on y subjects, the content is left at the exercise of the journalist.

Do not forget that journalists are often freelancers working for multiple outlets and they do try to enforce deontologic rules as a way to protect their profession.

Compared to software developers, journalists earn less but own more. They do keep the right to the content and are liable individually. There are lots of restrictions in place as to what media outlets can and can not do to journalists, and some are even enshrined in laws.

Yeah, I'm wondering if I can rename my workspace account so that I can add my primary email to my old account.

Of course now I'll have split-brain because my photos are locked into the old account (trying to share and save doesn't work because Google forgets that they are supposed to be zero-rated because they came from a pixel).

I'll see if this rename works, then I can slowly migrate off of the other Google services. For services that I still want I think you can transfer YouTube accounts between Google accounts. Same with Play accounts (you need to pay but apparently you can ask for a refund for a transfer).
