"We found that the overall upfront cost to replace all energy in the 145 countries, which emit 99.7 percent of world carbon dioxide, is about $62 trillion."

"Finally, our findings contend that a transition to 100 percent clean, renewable energy in each country should occur ideally by 2035, and no later than 2050, with an 80 percent transition by 2030."

The benefits sound great, but the cost is extremely high.

You could argue that the consequences of inaction would be more costly, but some people do not believe that the consequences of inaction are coming.

What can be done now that does not cost so much?

Converting all energy to electricity alone is a huge and expensive undertaking. Some of the technology the article touts is expertimental at best and does not have widespread production use that I am aware of.
We've been using for nearly 10 years in my company, hosting 100+ repositories in it. This is one of the few forges that allow hosting Git, Mercurial, and even SVN repositories within the same web interface. We had a lot of Mercurial repos in the past, but the domination of git for web development made us switch to git. Having all our repos under one software and authentication system is quite nice.

As the administrator I also really appreciate that there is an APT package available, so it is updated with the rest of the OS via unattended-upgrades. They also provide Docker and k8s installations. Except for the v1 to v2 migration 3 or 4 years ago that was a bit chaotic at first, it has been a very solid software.

This is "just" a repository hosting software though. It will not force you to use a specific git flow, there is no PR/MR interface. There are some plugins to enable some workflows, but nothing specific. While not numerous, there are several integrations available, like JIRA or Redmine, even LDAP for authentication.

There are no CI/CD part either. There is a Jenkins plugin though. Or you can also configure webhooks to be called on push events and design your own CI around it.
Sure, but is that ever actually encountered in practice?
That's the hope. In practice nobody gets to sit down and examine a scramble in depth before their turn, but might be able to steal a few glances from a distance during someone else's solve. I'd say the advantage of someone doing that would be equivalent to adding 2-3 seconds of extra inspection time. Unfortunately there's a limit to how much cheating can be reasonably prevented and I've never noticed any problems with the current setup.
Intel Foundry Services Lands MediaTek, a Leading TSMC Customer
It would be quite possible to compile a list of these creators.

I'd also suggest that Nebula has quite a few creators in the STEM space, though not nearly enough to make it the one-stop-shop you're looking for.
What do you mean - you don't have 30 mins per day to go walk / jog? Does it not worry you that you may never able to actually retire and have bad physical health on top?
Ultimately I suppose it would have to involve some pre-shared key. It could be made tolerable with a browser addon holding entries for critical websites. But maybe the mentioned CAA has already solved this.
After having read quite a few, security articles seem much like proposing Russel's teapot: as long as you as the authors don't demonstrate a viable exploit, it is unlikely that such an exploit exists.
how much value can you place on a disagreement based on a misunderstanding, though? i don't think that's the relevant case.
UK National Grid: Live status of the electricity transmission network
There a few reasons people might not want to:

+ Cost (cheaper to upgrade)

+ Environmental impact (less being thrown into landfills)

+ They might already like the chassis (I really miss the keyboard layout and touchpad from my old laptop)

Given laptops are supposed to be portable PCs (MacBooks aside) and PCs were always upgradable, it's a great pity we've stepped backwards into something a lot less customisable.
Then you'dn't've had any trouble seeing that I made that comment to illustrate a point, not because I thought they were going to call CPS on them.
> Cooperation is natural and good.

I agree, but perhaps hard fought. "The Survivors", the 1975 TV series from the U.K. tried to do apocalypse more cleverly.
I see a few folks in these comments essentially saying "If only everyone else would do this!" This rather misses the point. You don't empathize with your opposition for their sake; you do it for your own sake. You do it because you might learn something. You do it because it helps to build relationships, like (say) the famous friendship between the late justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia. You even do it because your argument will be more effective. But the bottom line is that you do it because it's better for your own mental health if you try to think of the people around you as good.
Nothing. There is also nothing to encourage people from not taking forever. This metric worked well on my team until I got people who game it by pulling easier tickets and then sitting on them for a week. We still use the approach though. No approach survives a bad team. I could implement draconian rules, but that would just hamper the productive people.
Move to ROS 2 :)!

Regarding who's going to create the accelerators, enablers like this allow any ROSser to jump into creating their own accelerator from C++ by purely adding some metadata into their CMakeLists.txt files (which every ROS package has already).

On top of that, organizations are creating professional-grade kernels meant for production. NVIDIA and AMD are investing in that direction and so are we at Acceleration Robotics. Here're a few of the first ones announced:
- Accelerated perception stack (ROS 2 API-compatible) https://accelerationrobotics.com/robotcore-perception.php
- Accelerated coordinate system transformation (ROS 2 API-compatible, tf2) https://accelerationrobotics.com/robotcore-transform.php

no you won’t

what you will be doing instead is help make some stakeholders richer (and they don’t give a F about making the world better)

In hindsight I should've probably not make 1b (1800) but rather the 1.65b of 1900 the goal, just because from a time frame and as a vision it is so much easier to communicate: around the turn of the century we already had electric streetcars, electric underground, electric lighting, motorcars, elevators, entire countries with rail networks and so on. I do not see why a slow-ish-ly shrinking population should entail tossing all of our advances since then—in medicine, computers, telecommunication, chemistry, virtually all fields, not least agriculture (although the way we do it now is utterly unsustainable). Rather, I believe that in a situation where you have an extremely high birthrate and a doubling of the population in a matter of just 15 or 30 years you end up with half of population being rather young and lacking experience; you will also, as an economy, have a hard time to build enough schools and housing. People will and already do live, in many places, in cities that are almost entirely without any built history to speak of. This is what erodes local traditions, customs, awareness; I see this and not the OP's notion of 'shrinking societies cause cultural attrition and global homogenization' (paraphrased from memory) as a major cultural problem. Population growth, not shrinkage, is a great contributor to cultural loss.
I have inadvertently been "starman"-ing people my entire life. I usually refer to it as "benefit of the doubt". I have not encountered any problems with it in practice other than that sometimes I end up talking in circles when the other person doesnt really have a strong central point to their argument (or it is just not clicking for me no matter how hard I try to understand)

I think if such practices became mainstream, then people would begin to realize the difficulties involved in having a coherent conversation about a point of disagreement. The passive-aggressive cudgels you mention would fall flat because it is instantly noticeable as not fitting the necessary patterns for coherent conversation.

No one needs to accept or reject the other. the point of an argument is to educate each other, answer questions, and allow each other to fit both opinions into their own world view (ex. what are the limits / specifics to your belief?). Maybe someone changes their mind during that conversation, maybe they dont. maybe someone needs to let the new information ferment in their minds and life for a bit before it clicks. that is part of giving someone benefit of the doubt

maybe you are talking to someone who is venting, or in the middle of a mental episode (i mean that literally, not derogatorily), or was unfortunately born a narcissistic manipulator and cant help themselves. It doesnt matter, they cannot "win" the conversation - no one can - and the more people that realize this truth about conversations in general, the better the world will become
Xanadu Basics 3 – Browser Law [video]
Yes but people must do that every day anyway. It's like saying no expert opinion or statement is valid unless you check credentials first and they meet some arbitrary bar of merit.

And even then, we've witnessed a long history of 'credentialed' people being corporate puppets for certain agendas, peddlers of their own self-importance and fraud or just plain wrong.

We should pick experts, but we should pick from a range, not just the experts we like or decide are on the right side. And sometimes also pay attention to the non-experts, they can ask very interesting questions and provide good thought experiments, even if naive.
The most surprising part is that the technology could understand a Belfast accent. Even in 2022 Siri says "Hello" back to me when I begin a question with the word "How..."

Everyone alive today has suffered. Everyone alive today will be dead in 150 years. Nothing anyone can do will change that.

Yet, Life will go on. With or without humans.

Don’t take it personally. It’s just Nature.
100% what this guy said ^^^
"Unpredictably far away"—nice way of putting it.

Whether we "need" humans depends on where one's values are; for those who would like humans in some form to continue to exist, the idea of AGI making humans obsolete isn't terribly comforting. Even those who might really like the idea of humans sort of evolving into AI (and eventually ceasing to biologically exist) might not be keen to rush toward human obsolescence if they're not thrilled with initial versions of AGI (diversity and optionality is nice).
I suppose emulating STM32s is all we can do at the moment. Impossible to buy one until sometime in 2023. On a more serious note: Great project!
Backpacking and camping is quite time consuming, but hopefully you have 30 mins per day to spend being active! Makes a huge difference from anecdotal experience. My mental performance suffers if I'm not taking care of my physical. Even a 30 min walk is helpful.

Having the possibility to test stuff locally using e.g. minikube. Also in general we just build everything around docker containers. Doesn't matter if they run locally on a dev machine or in a gke cluster.
I've not had that be the case for me unfortunately. Interestingly the highest output times I've had were during periods of very low testosterone production. I still maintain an athletic weight and stay active with various social activities that get me exercise, but somehow when I workout religiously with a strict diet, I don't seem to do well at focusing on work.
That's exactly what this work does while remaining ROS 2-centric (with C++, CMake extensions and other friends). Goal in this research was to provide a way for the path of least friction for roboticists.

There's a huge gap between robotics development (more sw-centric today) and the average hardware engineer in big semiconductor companies. Totally different perspectives and viewpoints. We felt bridging the gap was necessary.

Interesting, for some reason I translated the Croatian word "kolačić" for "small cake" to cookie. I guess cookie is not a small cake. In Croatian the expression is "madeleine kolačić".
Okay but even lowercase-N nazis have a more specific meaning than "ideologies I find icky"
> Can't do hardware engineering while working from home. Hybrid is less efficient as well.

Has Apple's hardware engineering team remained remote and/or hybrid? And is it a statement of fact that the delays are due to this cause? I don't doubt the claim, moreso curious as to what intel you have.
Cute counterexample, I'll grant you that, but the parent posts were – if implicitly – talking abound unbounded growth.

Bounded growth on the other hand might mathematically indeed continue for an infinite length of time, but for all practical purposes can most certainly be rounded down to zero past a certain point.
There are much less ecologically disastrous and less illegal cloud-seeding techniques. They're still very illegal though.

I imagine the GNU answer would be that you shouldn't run hostile / nonfree software on your machines, and you should simply be able to tell your software not to contact undesired servers (via configuration or, worst case scenario, recompilation).

Having recently fully de-Big-Teched all my devices, I have the luxury of agreeing with that philosophy.

As a slightly less harsh compromise, even if you run hostile apps you should be able to install a personal root certificate on your devices and MITM their traffic. Still, I imagine most IoT devices don't give you any way to do so, so you should avoid them or keep them disconnected from the wider Internet if they're still useful otherwise.

Either way, the pihole corner case is not a very good argument against DoH, which is far more often a security improvement.

A better argument is the big corp one, since DoH indirectly boosts their power (because a self-hosted site becomes less anonymous than one hosted on a shared AWS IP).

Agreed, the styling has put me off by feeling broken / unfinished. In particular too little and too inconsistent padding.

However reviewing now I’ll say that for whatever reason it seems things are much improved. Still not my personal favorite but significantly more clear.

Work is not career. Work is what happens at a given day of your career.

Also, if you enjoy your work enough, your description becomes unfair. You do not feel it like sacrificing life in order to pospone living.

Also, that suggest that there is some hedonistic way to live there that is also easily disappointing.

Humans needs challenges and responsibility to channel their energy. Who doesn't have it, manages to find it in the form of problems (or even psychopatologies).
People from Northern Ireland can be British. I'm from Belfast and my passport says "British citizen." Being a British citizen and being from Britain aren't the same thing.
Strict diets suck. I think there needs to be some joy in eating. I tend to just follow something like an 80/20 rule. I eat whatever I want, but relatively healthy most of the time.
3rd party GaN power brick is fine, not cheap (~$100) but works well at about 1/3 the size of the stock charger (which IS monstrous).

I think later this year we might see slightly smaller HX form factors with Legion 7i and others coming soon. I never really understood why extra 3-4 lbs is such a big deal, I do carry a lot of gear every day though (and squat fairly heavy), so it might be a question of habit. :-)
Right, but those old carriages don't have weight sensors. So there is no way of knowing if they are overloaded or not, apart from optical estimation, right? Break hundredths are entered manually on those trains, AFIAK.

I'm not saying that it would be legal to drive an overweight IC in the upper PZB setting. :D

But I've used Intercitys (and old regional trains) that were so full that not even the conductors could move anymore. That doesn't happen anymore with the new trains. I have a hard time believing that the railroad carriages were not overloaded at that moment.
Saying that "falling birth rates are due to the MeToo movement" is the same as "criticism of MeeToo" cheapens the word "criticism" and definitely dilutes impact of both document and what you say.

If in the same message you refer to movement that whose part were multiple real world lawsuits and at least temporary attempts to get some rights to situations with quite serious harassments as "hashtag-activism movement", then you cheapens even more words.

The island or Ireland is one of the British Isles.

That's a fact of geography not politics, much like the UK is part of Europe but no longer part of the EU.

If you find the word British offensive then you'll need to come up with an alternative for the British Isles but it will be plainly obvious that the geographic collection of islands you are describing is still called the British Isles by everyone else.

Show HN: Star Wars “No Moon” Scene on Character LCD
This circuit has no CPU and instead uses a simple 256-byte lookup table to drive a 20x4 LCD character display. Our LCD has only 8 CGRAM characters so we juggle those 8 characters across the video area as needed.

Some parts of the video fare better than others. Lots of movement and large monochrome areas are good, but finer details like talking faces, not so much.

I wonder how long it would have taken to discover the gut-brain links if experts were not allowed to speak out of their fields. Do we also measure the credentials of the peers and check their biases before allowing them to approve arguments and enter the mainstream (whatever that's supposed to mean)?

This line of reasoning is fraught with danger, though yes we should always at least try to ensure the arguments come from expertise and experience.

Dominating the know how of some algorithm gives you a power that can be quite satisfying. Still, that is not career. The tasks at your work are things that happen at a given day of your career.

Career is a trajectory. A mission. Way way more than your current employment.
Maybe individualism is the root of the problem?
This is why companies need a HR hiring process that filters out candidates who haven't yet developed the level of maturity needed to listen to contrary perspectives without taking such conversations emotionally.

When I write GitLab.com, I'm referring to the service, not the software project. The service relies on reCAPTCHA. The project provides the feature but does not require it nor enable it by default.

I'm not going to say that GitLab is evil. I don't think it is. I don't see the world like this anyway. But yes, there are proprietary bits involved in Gitlab.com (and the service actually runs Gitlab EE afaik). What do you expect from me as a free software enthusiast? Close my eyes and suck it, or live to my principles, which is easy considering there are good open source forges that are also not based on an open core model?

As cool as GitLab is to the eyes of many people, I don't like making unnecessary exceptions.

Now, I would still be fine self-hosting GitLab CE. But from a technical perspective, Gitea is probably better than GitLab for me: it's lighter on resources and easier to maintain. I also like the UI better.
With blazor you need to choose Client or Server Blazor. Client will give you 10MB+ page downloads, Server will require stable and low-latency internet connection. It's fine for intranet systems, but not for general webdev
