The probability that an observation is beyond 5 standard deviations is < 1/25 = 4%, according to Chebyshev's inequality, provided the variance of the distribution is finite (which, as you say, is not guaranteed, eg. for Cauchy distributed random variables).

A significant concern the author is not considering is soil salinity. Most of the coastal land is not easily defendable cities, but productive agricultural land.

When sea level rise then the salty water infiltrates into the ground water and makes vast amounts of soil infertile, from what I understand a much larger area than the zone lost directly to flooding. This will destroy massive wealth and push rural farmers inland, in conflict with each other or the wild areas.
Dislocations in the crystal structure. Here's a demonstration using a raft of small bubbles to simulate atoms in a metal (actual demonstration starts at 5:12 if you want to skip the introduction):

You can see the same grains forming as the bubble raft is deformed.
adam, I loved this and also shared it in my family WhatsApp group. we all had a lot of fun playing it, thanks for the great idea and execution!
one minor suggestion: consider adding a cross or some other indicator at the circle of the screen during the map selection stage. I found that sometimes you want to move the circle a few metres in some direction, but it's difficult to guess/tap where the new center should be without knowing exactly where the current one is.
We really need to watch it with trusting AI.

While my example here isn't photo recognition, the same principle applies. I recently sat for a deposition where the stenographer used an "AI"transcription system. The result was literally pages of errata (vs the standard errata sheet that has space for about a dozen lines).

The consistent error I noticed was that the erroneous words were (probably) the word most expected in that position, and NOT the word that I said.

So, at a glance, it seemed like a really good transcription. In fact, many errors were barely noticeable to me and I had to go back to the audio recording to confirm. And these were errors that substantially changed the meaning, or even inverted it.

This is not merely information loss — the least surprising/lowest information item was inserted instead of the real item — this is actual information CORRUPTION.

I'd fully expect parallel phenomena from image - "AI - filling in the item most expected from the training set, and actively corrupting the data by stripping out the highest-value info bits and replacing them with the most expected.

Beware
It's too late for what's happening now, that's for sure. Stopping the "surprises" that are going to happen in a few decades are still likely physically possible. We'll see if humanity is up to it.
I’ve had similar issues, but I believe one of the issues you’re encountering is intentional:

> Multiple monitors stacked vertically: You can only move the cursor across one of the borders, the other one doesn't work.

Once two devices are connected, you can rearrange them in Display preferences just like any other monitors. I found this to work as expected. By default, the connected devices have their monitors aligned such that the corner of one monitor touches the corner of another, but you’re free to change that.

On the other hand, I’ve encountered additional issues. Even with a Magic Mouse or built-in trackpad, there are odd lag spikes.

Scrolling will randomly stop working.

Some first-party iPadOS apps will randomly freeze, including Settings. They’ll stop responding to touch input as well. Other apps will continue to work.

Overall, though, it works well enough that I’ve been using it to run Slack on my iPad while working on my MacBook.
Why can't the US just have less people with a higher standard of living? Why is "progress" always more. Why do we have to make everything worse by shifting the baseline (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shifting_baseline).
We do something like this with our customers' log files.

Before we send them from their system to ours, we pass all PII facts through a salted SHA256 wherein the salt is unique per trace session. This allows us to correlate sensitive PII across areas of our product without actually unmasking the private knowledge. John Doe will hash the same within the same error tracing session, but across tracing sessions they might as well be 2 entirely different people.
Why would an average user use such service? I was thinking about creating such "internet recommendation engine" so to speak but as my hypothetical project was progressing I realized that it started looking more and more like internet search engine as and when I started adding more advanced features. But looking from costs point of view it is cheaper to create internet recommendation engine than internet search engine.

Swerving and threshold braking are the two maneuvers in our arsenals to avoid crashes when things have gone badly. Every season I start off with some quality time in a parking lot practicing both swerving and braking (EDIT: on my motorcycle—I get enough in-situ practice on my bicycle regularly). I'm not sure I'd be brave enough to ride a motorcycle or bicycle not having both of those skills polished.
Social 'scientists'? Your turn :)
MiniDisc was decently interoperable as Panasonic, Sharp or JVC licensed it.

The main flaws I think were the price outside of Japan (tarrifs?), and how bad the digital interface was. And there was no other choice than Sony’s junk software running on specific versions of windows to read/transfer tracks from a computer. Which is pretty much the path Apple chose with iTunes/iMusic.
That’s absolutely right.

But as the article itself says, we don’t know if this is the start of some trend or if this is a never previously observed fluke.

Climate change is about regression to a mean that is itself higher than the previous mean. But with or without human contribution, weather events are still going to regress to a mean.
postretirement I'd be more than happy to have a non-tenure track position with an office on campus and access to some campus resources at one of my neighboring universities. I would not ask for compensation.
> The process of identifying lapped cars has up until now been a manual one and human error lead to the fact that not all cars were allowed to un-lap themselves. Due to the fact that manual interventions generally carry a higher risk of human error, software has been developed that will, from now on, automate the communication of the list of cars that must un-lap themselves.
Would be funny if someone figured out a way to remotely set all gas pumps in the country to "release mode" simultaneously: I'm sure this would make for a memorable experience.
Sharing one's thoughts candidly is worth less than good epistemology.
Why do the first chapters of all physics textbook ONLY talk about Greek philosophers and scientists and NEVER talk about contribution to Science from eastern civilization like India and China ? These civilizations have a very rich heritage and astounding contribution to many underlying scientific philosophies. Yet generation after generation of writers ignore them and it is sad to see that being true even today. It is time that this is changed.
I was told that I could use my SUV up until the problems start, and then I could just start taking the bus to solve it.
Using flare gas for a useful purpose is a good thing.

Does 'mine crypto' qualify as a useful purpose? To some, maybe, but to me energy used for crypto is still wasted energy.

I'd really like to see innovators step up and disrupt the gas industry by coming up with new ways of using/capturing/exploiting the energy that otherwise would be wasted in flares. Mining crypto falls far short of that, imho.
This has always been the best part of FromSoft games. People talk about the difficulty first but I think that absolutely takes a backseat to the visuals. The art direction and atmosphere are absolutely unparalleled. I honestly can't think of another game who's world captured me like the first Dark Souls did.

Shared clipboard in an age of 2FA is amazing.

For the windows and Android users (of which I am one), the first party "your phone" app in windows 10/11 gives you this along with a lot of other amazing features (running your phone apps on desktop, access to photos and sms, notifications, calling and answering through your computer).
I can't say what the author's intent was, but I see two ways to parse this: one I disagree with, one I agree with.

The disagreeable interpretation is that the only way to learn is from a pristine book. This is so obviously stupid that I see no reason to discuss it further.

The other interpretation, which I think is more useful but unclear from the text, is that _passive activities are subpar learning activities_. From what I've read of effective studying techniques, things like highlighting text don't help. Active recall techniques like spaced repetition are much more useful for cementing learned knowledge. Likewise, if you're "learning" from a screen by just staring at it, consuming it, then your knowledge-to-inputs ratio is going to be low. I've watched plenty of YouTube videos on how to do numerous things, but I couldn't do any of them on the spot because I've never tried. The knowledge went in one ear and out the other. The material must be engaged with somehow.
I didn't realize it was just going to be street names, and picked my area in Manhattan. The streets and avenues are numbered :)
I see three issues in my current role. (i) I keep getting additional responsibilities, which has increased my workload tremendously (without increased compensation). I raised the compensation issue but was told research labs are cost centers (hence, limited budget with little room for significant increase in comp). (ii) I am dissatisfied that my work is not making into products. A decade into the company, and it is not for lack of trying. Most projects have failed to go the next step mainly due to politics. I do not see the situation improving on this matter. (iii) I am mid-career and have the feeling if I do not switch employer's now, this is basically it for me (career growth wise). I see no opportunity to go higher in my current lab.

LOL. My GPS recently tried to route my car through a pedestrian-only plaza on GWU campus. I don’t think it’s been open to vehicles for 30 years. We have no prospect at this time (without some unexpected and unpredictable breakthrough in science) of automating even simple programming jobs.
If delivering quality software is of essence, then investing in CI and automated tests will have an outsized impact as the project evolves.

> There’s nowhere near enough fertile soil in former permafrost.

Not only that, former permafrost is highly unstable almost by definition: as soon as it starts melting it starts shifting. This is already starting to be an infrastructure issue, as roads and bridges built on/in permafrost degrade at very high rate when it thaws.

And that's before considering the cool methane bombs. Nothing says stability like your field or house being replaced by a 40m deep crater.

And then, obviously, global warming / permafrost melting doesn't magick a more reasonable insolation. Even ignoring soil quality factors, agricultural yields start degrading as you go further towards the poles because the seasons and sheer amount of sun are crap.
I think the way these are phrased do a better job expressing the "vibe", for lack of a better word, of our current understanding. That the particles and constants are declared by fiat, with behavior constrained by simpler laws, is an understanding I didn't come to until I took a QFT course. The physicist's God is as concerned with forbidding seemingly pointless things as the biologist's God is with beetles.

> The machine promptly shutdown.

I have a credit card that bluescreens (some) PoS terminals. I theorize the upstream server is returning a rare error code when it's used in contactless mode, because that account's never been approved for contactless. In that case I'm going with lack of sanitizing inputs.
To nix23's answer, which is now dead and can't be further replied to:

Funny, that link you posted was already grey on my browser, and yet I rest my case: NATO didn't invade any country and forced it to join. The fact that most eastern European countries lined up to join the very first moment they could, is because they knew fully well what monster lied to the east, and experienced its brutality within living memory. Most importantly, they lined up to join because they are free to choose, and so they did.

Attacking countries because they don't like you and join your opponent is a laughably thin bullshit pretext. Russia already bordered 6 NATO countries, annexing Ukraine would actually push that number UP. Is that going to be justification for further aggression?

You either accept that Ukrainians are in charge of their own destiny, therefore they are free to join NATO, the EU, my book club and whatever else they choose, or you don't, in which case I'd like to understand why, in your opinion, they are not free, and, apparently, why it's ok in your opinion to murder and invade them if they try.

I won't even argue that NATO is a defense organization, despite being convinced of that, because that's not the point here: even if they weren't, it's still NOT OKAY to attack countries who wish to stop being threatened by you, and seek its protection.
I’ve also had a terrible experience with DPI scaling under Linux.

My Thinkpad Nano has a screen resolution that works best with its UI scaled to 150% or 175%. Windows does this pretty well, with mainly a tiny handful of old stuff where the dev flung a binary over the wall many moons ago and forgot about it not working right. macOS handles this scenario decently too, though at a slight performance hit since it renders at a higher resolution and then scales down.

Linux on the other hand has been a mess. I’ve tried GNOME, KDE, and Cinnamon on the latest Fedora both with X11 and Wayland (except for cinnamon, which is X11 only), and none of them get non-integer scaling 100% right across both the DE and all apps. This is the exacerbated by different UI toolkits having minds of their own and needing independent configuration, where on macOS and Windows they obey the system.

In fact, in my experience Linux works best if you have a boring ultra common setup — Intel iGPU with Intel networking with a single normal DPI monitor. As soon as you start deviating from that, expect things to start getting quirky.

If it is just some kind of random anomaly, like a rogue wave, not much beyond an odd layer in the glacial ice pack.

The problem is that this is most definitely not an anomaly, but a point in a trend of massive climate change. There are many predictions of the consequences, and as far as I can tell, the actual data are running ahead of the most serious predictions. Seems like just another data point.

Also to consider is the multiplier effects of higher temperatures at high latitudes, which is already starting to release gigatons of methane stored in the permafrost, and methane has about 22X the warming effect of carbon dioxide. Not the kind of feedback loop we want to allow to run away.
> Productivity was noticeably down after the change.

That also seems easy to reconcile. The "war" in that context could mean the current ongoing conflict between russia and ukraine (ie, "you oppose the russian invasion"), or US military intervention in the russian-ukranian war, which would formally put US at "war" with russia.

It takes some time to get used to, but systems that support image-based development, in the tradition of the Smalltalks and some Lisps, can boost programming productivity a lot, by allowing very tight feedback loops. Combined with a good debugger it makes much easier to diagnose and recover from problems, and iterate over your design quickly. To experience the state of the art on this front, I recommend Pharo. There's even a MOOC at https://mooc.pharo.org/
I thought it was a bit odd to list the credit under each piece of art to "Hidetaka Miyazaki". He's the director and sets the creative vision for just about everything in the games, but the actual art is done by a talented team of artists and designers. Sad to not see them get any credit for their amazing work.
Type systems
Wouldn’t in-app advertisement be at least on par, probably higher in usage ?
Are these actions solutions, though?
Nope. The absolute hardest part about building software (at the intersection of frequent problem / difficult problem) is capturing business requirements and making the computer do that thing.

This is a people problem. Not a code problem.

Software development will never be automated unless people can begin creating extremely accurate business requirements. And that is never going to happen unless human nature changes. And it won't.
Most retailers use the same ranges for their rewards cards, UPC-A barcodes starting with 4. So even if not intentional, if their system is configured to allow an unregistered card to receive discounts, doesn't validate registration at all, or the number collides with a legitimate rewards card, you'll receive the sale pricing. Similarly, if you simply use a common phone number like xxx-867-5309, 800-555-1212, the store's phone number, etc., you'll probably get discounts too.
Now we replace it with fifty million JavaScript libraries for a web interface.
I'm not sure if it's a method, but understanding what bottlenecks are involved in your development cycle is key to anything involving efficiency. Just like early optimization of software it's very easy to add a step on a complicated system only to find out it wasn't very effective because there wasn't a problem there to be solved.

You need a way to evaluate efficiency and trends of your development cycle. Are you creating more tasks than are done? Are there too many bugs being created? Is the layout design often late and blocking your developers? Ask yourself how would you know about these things and if you don't have an answer or it takes a while to get the answer then that's where you should focus your improvements: optimizing your understanding of what is going on your value stream.
Considering that these lines specify our laws of physics only if you grant that math is a thing, you could argue that all of mathematics gets in for free ;). Sort of like how ZFC can't encode basic logic, but you still need it for axioms to make sense

OpenAPI: while it's got tons of warts and is mostly useful for deterministic REST-ish looking APIs, it's the best think I've found so far to specify APIs. If the APIs are well expressed and maintained there tend to be a lot of positive side effects.

We at least have day-to-day written history for thousands of years, in human population zones. We have oral beyond that.

We barely have 30 or 40 for a place like antartica.

We can detect gross climate, and not any real weather in fossils.

For example, no fossil record would capture a chinook, a common occurance in Alberta.

In 1962, Pincher Creek saw record temperature rise of 41 °C from -19 to 22 °C in just an hour.

One hour!

And of course, we have only been monitoring chinooks with detail for maybe a 150 years.
