Interesting, what makes you say that? Autism also typically comes with noise sensitivity and is about 100x more common than hEDS. Or were you suggesting that it may have a genetic basis in general (which would be useful to diagnose)? That makes sense.

Data comes from the EIA. They release company revenues ($), sales (kWh), and # of customers for residential. We calculate the rate as revenues / sales (and correcting for units). It's a bit more nuanced than that, like we sum up all of the revenues and sales for each company that is owned by or merged into the specific company (adjusting for % ownership as well).
The numbers are definitely not perfect, and for many companies are a year behind (they only report to the EIA yearly), so that's why there might be a major different in prices (there has been a MAJOR increase in electricity prices in the past couple of months). There are some companies that we have exact rate data for, and those rates are visible on the page when that's the case.

I didn't suggest that angular velocity is the same as linear velocity, I asked how you were interpreting the area and velocity, and parenthetically observed that the angular velocity was constant. You say that the area is impactful - what do you understand it as meaning?

The scale is not arbitrary, it covers the range of anomalies over the chosen period, in units of temperature change in degrees Celsius, and is labelled as such, with the anomaly reference period described in the text. If you were to use absolute values then the scale would similarly cover the range of absolute values over the chosen period - there is no "unbiased" choice of data range, except perhaps that which covers all of the data in question, which this does.

As I noted, the impact of the anomalies is with reference to "normal" temperatures - it is relatively easy for anyone to see that 1 C (/K) is quite a large temperature increase, relative to "normal" temperatures. Surely you can agree that if the largest anomaly shown was 0.01 C then the graph would have far less impact, and if it was 100 C then the graph would have far more impact?

Interesting!

I've always had an intuitive feeling that theories like The Great Filter theory was a pretty arrogant simplification of "actual reality" beyond our narrow biological lenses and even narrower western definition of "life" or even spatial dimensions and time.

Just because some western scientist with only 350+ years of somewhat advanced tools, math and imagination can't see "something" doesn't mean something isn't there - we don't even know what "there" is, or who "we" are.

Math and science is an awesome "thing", but the ridiculous existential pop-science extrapolations from simple equations is laughable if not sinister, especially in light of the paradigmatic shifts in science and worldview over just the last couple of centuries.
They're trying to manage their legal risk here, that's why the document (after the first 25 or so pages) is almost entirely presented as quotations or specific references to research interviews they've conducted, rather than a narrative presentation. Without a solid factual matrix, making accusations of serious wrongdoing (e.g., fictious revenue via sham transactions with a related party) would put them at risk of defamation claims. That's also why they're throwing in the kitchen sink; there has to be enough damaging information in the document that's factually correct to make it fruitless for IONQ to pursue litigation against them.
Regarding the "your", I bet vehicle collision related deaths are more randomly distributed than homicides and unintentional shootings of children (and probably firearm suicides too, for that matter).
By geoengineering, you mean blocking out the light of the sun?

Won't that significantly reduce the photosynthetic potential of Earth, and significantly reduce the carrying capacity of the Earth for life?

There are plenty of planets and moons that are cooler because they receive less sunlight. None of them host any life that we can detect.

Isn't there a real risk that geoengineering would just end up turning the Earth into something resembling Mars, irreversibly?

The Earth has supported abundant life with an atmosphere with a higher concentration of C02 than it has now. Has it ever supported abundant life with the solar energy being reduced to the extent required to reduce climate change?

The door on our $1200 2 year old refrigerator started cracking at the hinge. I had a credit card warranty on it, so I foolishly tried to hire an appliance repair company to fix it. They charged $150 to look at it for 10 minutes and say all they could do is replace the whole door, and quoted $900. I spent 45 minutes fixing it myself with some extruded aluminum and some rivets. The warranty coverage allowed for self-repair, so I ended up "earning" roughly my equivalent hourly rate as a software engineer.
Because "solar geoengineering" is a joke.

Why wait all the time until global warming destabilizes every ecosystem on Earth? You can have it today, just by spraying the upper atmosphere!

People do take geoengineering quite seriously. People do talk seriously about carbon capture, about ecosystem husbandry, about forced forestation, even about ocean seeding (there have been enough research about this one to conclude we are not desperate enough yet). It's only global shading that isn't serious.
That multi-threading will solve this issue, is a common misconception. Emacs already supports asynchronous I/O and has sentinels for exactly that. However, not everything that runs on Emacs is taking advantage of that functionality. It is therefore up to you, to use the proper package (or not use the wrong one) / configure Emacs in such a way, so that this sort of issue is avoided. I can definitely say that if you're experiencing I/O hangs, it's either misconfiguration or bad code in a package that you loaded.

Finally for LSP, I always recommend Eglot over LSP Mode, as Eglot is written by an Emacs contributor that has deep knowledge of Emacs and Emacs Lisp. LSP Mode is written by volunteers on Github, and the code is nowhere near as good.

Given the (enormous amount / ever-increasing number) of Emacs Lisp packages out there, a lot of them being substandard, being able to make these sort of qualitative calls (and also increasingly dive into Emacs internals) will pay off. Assuming moderate effort, this will come with experience and time spent using Emacs.

Aren't the gas and electrical lines akin to some core capabilities of the system? I have yet to find a (web project) that doesn't need auth, eventing, logging, etc. I don't expect those to change how they work frequently, just line the guts of the building.

To keep with the metaphor, I DO expect to plug an appliance in, though. Or that a room could be used for another purpose. Obviously changing from an office to a commercial kitchen is a major change but if that's what somebody wants to spend their money to do...

So I guess my thought is, "software engineering" and "engineering" are very broad. I actually think software challenges are not so unique. My experience has been that many people lack intuition about the software in question. Most people live in a building of some kind and if they asked for only Brawndo in the water pipes, it would be easy to convince them of how short sighted that is (or they wouldn't even ask). With software I feel like there's still some expectation of magic and zero friction just because it doesn't take a jackhammer to move a wall.

says: "The vast majority of Wikimedia’s value to ordinary people – the website we know and use – costs the firm about 30 percent of their $112.5 million operating budget ($33.75 million) to maintain according to Lisa Seitz Gruwell, Chief Advancement Officer at Wikimedia."
We are already putting major stress to the environment, so we might need to experiment a bit with different methods to better understand and control climate. The problem is that changing the earth’s climate can only be done at a global scale, so this is a project where every country needs to cooperate and requires incredible amounts of trust on each other… (which I don’t think will happen soon enough)
Back in the day, Google Voice let you find a number that matched a string, as in 1-800-LAWYERS. I got a number that, inclusive of area code (!), is of the form XYXY-<my first name>. It has a couple other interesting and obvious properties I can't share without making it too easy to guess the number, so I'll just say that it's a great number and I hope I never lose it.

There are a lot things that are plastic but need to be (e.g., straws, snow shovels, etc.) but too often we as consumers don't get a choice. It's plastic. Plastic. And more plastic.

The fact that many organic food products (e.g., peanut butter) come in plastic boggles my mind.

What's concerning is that if we even kick our oil addiction and the bottom drops out of the price of oil, plastic will get even cheaper.

What's a green-minded consumer to do?
Nearly all of the disastrous things we've done to the planet were understood to have negative environmental consequences and yet we did them anyhow. Meanwhile, a great deal of our environmental interventions have been incredibly successful.

So I'm totally unconvinced by this often recited and rarely supported mantra.
I'm not sure I read the same thing. I think this misses the late point, that if empiricism can have weakness, what is its alternative?
For me, the big story is going to be supply-chain breakup and de-globalization. The author touches on this a bit, but completely misses the implication.

The programming languages that will best survive the apocalypse are the ones that can run on chips that best survive the apocalypse! I think that there're be a big turn toward highly-efficient compiled languages: Rust and Go are well-positioned for this, C will still be around, but languages like PHP and Ruby are very poorly suited for this. Anything that can be adapted to run on a microcontroller that you can scavenge from old cars that no longer can get gas will be in high demand.

I also think we'll see a turn toward more local production of semiconductors, which may require moving back in process nodes toward older technology where the supply chain and manufacturing process isn't as complex.

I don't think backwards-compatibility is as important as the author thinks it is. Enough other things are going to break in the economy that people will be willing to make due with software that gives them basic communication & computation abilities even if it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of modern software, particularly if modern software becomes completely unavailable due to infrastructure failures like cable lines coming down and there not being enough power to run datacenters.

Final thoughts: I think distributed technologies like mesh networks, data synchronization algorithms, networking, (proof-of-stake/storage) blockchains, etc. will become significantly more important. I wouldn't count on the cloud surviving: it has a lot of physical infrastructure dependencies, and physical infrastructure is already crumbling. Software that you can run locally on a device and communicate over unreliable networks will become very important.
I would say that technology that requires constant (re)writing of everything cannot be called boring. I could writing a project in COBOL, which is an old technology, but certainly isn't boring. Its age has actually made it “exciting” (that is, the opposite of “boring”, regardless of the actual feelings working with it would result in).

> I don't understand why people want more productivity

My assessment is that "want more productivity" is, 90% of the time, a nice-sounding smokescreen for what is in fact neophilia.

I'm making an empirical argument, not a philosophical one. It's based on personal experience with many devs. There is a massive bias toward trendy technologies, and they are rarely chosen for objective, research-based reasons.

What you are reading as "profound misanthropy" is coming from hard-won experience: I have seen the disastrous consequences of these decisions, the developer-years of wasted time, and in some cases had to clean up the mess myself.
This makes me curious if a similar trail has ever existed from the Pacific to the Atlantic in the USA / Canada. I know the Camino Real that crosses Panama very well, but that is a much, much shorter distance!

Just a little bit ago, there was this submission on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31560298

The article in question (quite short), has this passage, which reminded me of your comment here:

>> Positivist dispositions can lead to the acceptance of claims because they have a scientific form, not because they are grounded in robust evidence and sound argument.

> I think what they are saying is that empiricism is not robust. Yeah, sure, facts are great, and all. But it’s easy to cherry-pick facts and find whatever conclusion you want. I guess if you only follow the branches that you like, you can convince yourself that reality is whatever you want it to be.

> I think that’s a fair point. In my opinion, the majority of non-fiction books are an exercise in finding some exciting-sounding thesis and then cobbling together random scraps of evidence to support it.
So far this is no more than a vague unsubstantiated insinuation. This is HN - could you give us something to work with?
It is hard to say if something like that is racism or laziness. There are laws around advertising jobs and real estate when it comes to race.

Would this be surprising to anyone who has spent time on Facebooks, Twitter, Reddit, or 4Chan? Social networks seem to have become where people to go release their Id and indulge in hostile behavior which would not be accepted in meatspace.

I suspect that the researcher knew that this was possible when she allowed herself to be talked into turning off the no-approach radius. I assume she wanted to see and record where this went. I wonder how easy it would be to reinstate the circle of protection? Is there a simple “shields up” command to restore it? What is the effect on an avatar already in your space?

One of my greatest cookbook-purchase disappointments was an English translation of a popular Italian cookbook, which converted all the mass measurements for ingredients like flour in the original to absurd volume measurements--"2 cups plus 5 tablespoons plus 3/4 teaspoon". The conversion can be reversed as you mention, of course, but it pains me just to read the recipes.

Linktree was definitely an inspiration to recreate - the big differentiator between Memlink and Linktree (and pretty much every other competitor in the space) is that, Linktree requires you to be connected to the internet. Once you've loaded Memlink once, for any page you visit first, you can load any new Memlink site entirely offline (granted, dynamic blocks like the Tweet block will show an offline state until you're back online). This is because the block parser and renderer is cached once you've loaded it, and Memlink operates as a PWA and can still render content without hitting a server. You can try it out on your end by:

1) Make sure you've gone to meml.ink at least once on your phone

2) Create a new site using Memlink on your laptop or desktop

3) Put your phone in airplane mode/disconnect from WiFi etc

4) Scan the Memlink QR code from your laptop/desktop onto your phone

5) The Memlink page should load fine on your offline phone

This could be hugely useful for a variety of reasons such as limited access to internet, limitations on bandwidth usage, resiliency for important documentation/info against network failures, censorship, last-mile connectivity, etc.

It seems to me that there are cases where there exist different “maximal” isomorphisms, even structurally different ones, hence I don’t think that a general (always applicable) definition of equality as a “canonical” isomorphism is possible. You need to choose the equality you’re interested in and tell your theorem prover.
