Probably no matter what happens, unless the cobalt bombs go off, a few million people will survive, here and there.

The most likely final outcome of full-flowered climate catastrophe is global thermonuclear war. Before that happens, we will probably have two billion people starve. After, another five billion. The ocean will cease to be a reliable source of protein, and whatever sea life survives acidification will be fished out at an increasingly frantic pace.
yeah, the prusa is too reliable to consider messing with.

maybe i could get another used prusa somewhere…
That's pretty much it. It's notoriously easy to reach Turing Completeness without even trying. If you search for "Accidentally Turing Complete", you'll find several lists like this: https://beza1e1.tuxen.de/articles/accidentally_turing_comple...

I say "notorious" since this can often have negative implications for security.
Yeah, he's BS'ing about Australian temps - I grew up in the northern hottest parts of Australia and worked the Western Deserts in the Pilbarra near Marble Bar .. "120F all the time" is bollocks.

As noted, the occasional 45 C heatwave for a few days is pretty much peak heat so far with anything approaching 48 C | 120 F being a rare event.

A point system seems fun and pretty good. A manufacturer could be able to score points by providing a date (any date) at which they intend to end support. Perhaps some extra points if they provide information if it will turn into a brick. (just yes/no scores points) More points for extra years and a proper after-life.

We have tons of products and services with a TOS stating things like service is not guaranteed, we are not responsible for damages etc Line by line they make the product more terrible because they have good reason to, any kind of support costs money and no one reads the TOS.

If we could however express each of those terms into 2-5 numbers on a score card it would all of a sudden become interesting for the manufacturer to review those.

Who knows? Maybe if one of our widgets explodes we should pay up to 1000 dollar worth of damages if it means 10 points in responsibility in stead of -100

If replacement parts or even upgrades makes our brand stick out head and shoulders above the competition in official ratings then we should at least have someone do a powerpoint about it, perhaps even a spreadsheet.

Scores for existing devices can be improved later. Lowering them could involve fines and/or compensation.

Perhaps there is even some market logic to be had: Perhaps if one is stuck with a low score one should pick cheaper parts that have a similar score in stead of bragging about how awesome some components are. I must have purchased more than 50 iphone chargers by now. The expensive ones break just as fast as the cheap ones. Apple should get lots of points for all the parts of their show they got right but also -1000 for the charger quality. Some of the unofficial ones should probably be rated -5000 which is fine if it costs 5 euro. Even if it costs 20 euro I shouldn't be complaining if durability was rated -5000?
On all those areas, an EV is better. Modern ICE vehicles are hugely complex because its they only way they can meet emissions targets. EV power trains are much simpler in comparison, and electronics are much more reliable. Batteries are not the issue that the naysayers say they are - lasting much longer than an ICE engine (which usually die around the 250k mile mark) , and at similar replacement cost at that point. And in the meantime you've saved hugely on servicing and maintenance costs - youd have changed the clutch and DMF at least twice by then, something that people like to leave out when they say "what about my iPhone battery, that dies in months".
Except, going to Mars is not, in fact, science. Sending probe after probe is science, although it is getting pretty reflexive now, as very little remains to be learned from them.
This is getting badly OT and I don't know how we got here. My original top post was saying if you don't need exceptions, why are you using them. They weren't necessary there so they should not have been used there. That is all. In this I am sure we agree.
Sorry to hear you stopped working on your tool. My cofounder and I are working on a similar product (teraphone.app). We're focusing specifically on making a discord-like product for microsoft shops. I agree it's partly a culture thing. There's also an awareness issue. A lot of people don't know that pop-in style communication tools exist, especially outside the tech industry.
Voice mail is terrible, but I do think Google Chat/Meet is missing a "call" button. All you can do is send a regular chat message with a link to an impromptu meet. Sometimes I would like a button that politely asks for more immediate attention.

We started using Discord the same way at my last company when the pandemic hit and everyone had to go remote-only overnight. It was immensely valuable for fostering a sense of presence and we were pretty proud to call it our "virtual office". Slack Huddles and Zoom can't hold a candle to it. Zoom doesn't foster a sense of "who's online now?" discovery (since it's used a lot as a tool for intercompany communication, and it's none of your vendors' business whether you're online now or not) and Slack Huddles doesn't default to having your speakers on, you need to decide to join the huddle, which is too much friction. $75/month (for a level 2 upgraded Discord chatroom, for upgraded audio), for a 50-100 person startup, was an incredibly good value. It wasn't quite the same as an in-person pop-in, you can't grab your coworker's keyboard to show them something when you share screens, but it's 80+% of the same thing.

Which is why it's really sad that Discord doesn't scale for enterprise usage. No enterprise SSO, no way to search through or organize an ever-growing list of voice channels with an ever-growing number of people in them, no way to force the employees you invite to use their real names as their usernames so user management becomes difficult. We would have easily made the decision to throw Discord $10+/user/month if they would have decided to address the enterprise market. Shame.

> You could replace these weights with a single weight that slides along the radial bar toward and away from the center axis.

I don't think this is the same as what's in the paper, as the axial position of the vertical motors appears to be symmetric relative to the angular position of the horizontal motors.

EDIT: Scratch that, just watched the video -- I misunderstood how the vertical motors were moving. They are indeed changing the moment of inertia. You're right -- I don't understand why the authors need to resort to Coulomb forces to explain this behavior.

(Aside -- you can use the above phenomenon to rotate in a swivel chair without relying on external forces. Start with legs and arms outstretched. Then: arms left, legs in, arms right, legs out, repeat.)
Very cool. Thanks for the reply.
I'm not really one of the people who believes in the extinction models (though no some people do), my thinking on that matter though is, lots of species will probably go extinct from this, if industrial level civilization cannot be maintained during climate change crisis then there is no specific reason why the human species would not be one of the species going extinct, we're smart, but without the delicate and hard to maintain infrastructure of technology it seems unlikely we would be able to leverage that intelligence to keep ourselves alive.

My personal fear though is more the model of large parts of earth's surface unlivable by humans, humanity down to a few million living near the poles.

Although both of the two you mention of course also strike me as potential catastrophic scenarios.

English is my second language, and I believe the correct term for what I called “pure science” is “formal science”. In French, it’s common to talk of “sciences pures” in contrast to “sciences appliquées”, so it’s possible this is where that came from. Thank you for pointing this out!

I do have 12 years of postsecondary education in the applied/natural sciences, so I think that first sentence of yours is perhaps a little exaggerated.
Sorry, we won't get extinction. At least 0.1% will come through whatever happens, and, like the Amazonians after the pandemics, forget all we had and did.
It is your health; I don’t know about the US but in NL UK ES PT you have to apply yourself to get attention but then you do; I get help fast whatever I have because I am not taking no for an answer; people who do, well, it is your health; it is not exactly ok to just walk out when you are in trouble. You push and don’t leave until you get help. My gp did what Seinfeld George wanted; go away it’s not cancer; it was cancer and I knew it but you have to get aggressive to get attention in many places as most people go to their doctor for a chat because they need to (which, in an ideal world, is a reason to go as well by the way). People believe their gp is a smart person and knows things; they don’t; they are the gatekeepers: don’t listen to them, just get referred asap.
Big question is: with GDP still growing at an (averagely) healthy per-capita rate, where does the difference go if whole generation - and in 40 years, real per capita GDP doubled in the U.S. - is worse off than the one before? Is it the inequality that sucked in all difference - that is, that money is all taken by top 1-10%?

Overpopulation is a larger problem than most people seem to realize because they aren't usually thinking about anything more than how many bodies can be crammed into a given area. Once you start thinking about how many people a given area can sustainably support all the space we seem to have matters a lot less. I'm all for working to address overpopulation, but clearly there's a huge problem with choosing to murder or poison massive numbers of other people to "help".

When populations reach the point where they start genuinely thinking being dead or never being born is better than contributing to the problem they stop having kids, and start looking at suicide. Maybe you're at that point already, and if you made the choice to die in order to help, or by way of example, I wouldn't fault you for it, but your feelings on the matter should never become someone else's problem and it should never justify the actions of someone causing, or allowing someone to cause, large numbers of people to suffer.
EDS has a bizarre stigma attached to it for some reason. I'm pretty noticeable (I can fully dislocate my shoulders, for example), so I was immediately diagnosed with HSD, and finally with hEDS a year later. I haven't had issues with doctors since that, but I got treated terribly in the interim.

I've heard that MS was stigmatized like that before the neurology was appreciated. But EDS has one of the highest disability-to-stigma ratios of any disorder I've known. It gave me a spinal cord injury, for Pete's sake.
> This one says five days
> And this one says ten

Doesn't really inspire confidence in these results, right? I mean, first you cited a claim that said "few hours", and then the expirimental evidence shows at least 5 days, and another one says 10, and may be the next study that looks closer will find that it ll last at least 30 days...

But hey that is ok, because that is how "science" "progresses" duh, right?

> There are. The Fourth Amendment still applies, but courts have chosen a slightly more permissive standard for school administrators than police officers in view of in loco parentis and the needs of the school environment.

School officials can be representatives of the State in one moment and in loco parentis in the next. Operating as a chimera is not an appropriate or respectful way to deal with anyone, especially children. It's telling that the principal use case of in loco parentis is schools - maybe it's time for that to end universally as it ended in higher education.

In the hydrogen sulfide upwell scenario, the survival of humanity in any quantity seems unlikely. I'm just a layman, hopefully experts can tell me why this won't happen:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permian%E2%80%93Triassic_extin...

>The Permian–Triassic extinction event, also known as the End-Permian Extinction and colloquially as the Great Dying, formed the boundary between the Permian and Triassic geologic periods, as well as between the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras, approximately 251.9 million years ago. It is the Earth's most severe known extinction event, with the extinction of 57% of biological families, 83% of genera, 81% of marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species.

>Possible causes supported by strong evidence appear to describe a sequence of catastrophes, each worse than the last: the Siberian Traps eruptions were bad enough alone, but because they occurred near coal beds and the continental shelf, they also triggered very large releases of carbon dioxide and methane. The resultant global warming may have caused perhaps the most severe anoxic event in the oceans' history: according to this theory, the oceans became so anoxic, anaerobic sulfur-reducing organisms dominated the chemistry of the oceans and caused massive emissions of toxic hydrogen sulfide.

According to this hypothesis which is well-supported by the archaeological evidence, it took Earth's atmosphere between hundreds of thousands to millions of years to return to conditions capable of supporting much life. That's a long time for biodomes, bunkers, and orbital stations not to break in irreparable ways.
You are welcome to build a refuge at the South Pole. It will be an overwhelmingly more livable environment than can be constructed on other bodies. Or out in the middle of the Kalahari Desert, or in the center of Australia, likewise.

Southern hemisphere is recommended, anyway, as probably few nukes will target there; maybe none!
The Atlantic isn't a "left-wing magazine." Liberal / centrist / socially liberal yes, maybe they often have progressive writers author pieces. But they also platform conservative or center-right voices and that would be highly atypical/irregular for any left-wing magazine.

In fact, there's a lot of ideas to the left of The Atlantic, and I'm sure many people who support these ideas would dismiss The Atlantic as being far too liberal/neoliberal.
sure, however what I said contained the following:

>That is to say that I don't think he means we need to fix every problem

in short, my post was really describing what I think Robinson was getting at and I am not really wedded to the argument that we shouldn't do both at the same time, especially as the stuff we do to make one planet habitable might give spark to scientific/technological advancement that could help save the one we have.
The idea is nice to 'safe' humanity by creating a colony on mars. But the problem I see in that is we would be creating fractions of marsians and earthlings. That I only see in ending up in more conflict between the two. If we can't live in harmony on earth how can a colony on mars be even possible?

United earth has a better chance than colonies elsewhere.
> Life thriving in an inhospitable place.

It's an oasis. Far from an inhospitable place. Certainly an order of magnitude more hospitable than Mars.

The aim of humanity is to continue as a species. Whether the Earth as a chunk of rock orbiting the sun will carry without us doesn't matter; when we talk about "life" we mean humans.
It is the journey that engineering and our psychology as a species goes through in order to take us to Mars that is the important part, just like how it was for the Moon. We advance in our ability to understand and control materials and learn what is truly necessary to sustain life, while our astronauts experience a world without borders and return with their tales.

It is very short sighted to believe that we have to frame every problem as a terrestrial problem with limited scope we have to solve, and that narrow-mindedness is something that will make it more difficult to find general solutions that are applicable beyond the bounds of earth or may even involve utilization of beyond earth resources such as space, asteroids, low gravity, satellites, or something novel.

The big unanswered question in that is who is “us” referring to there?

Who is going to benefit from the toiling of automation? Especially when considering some of the poster children for robotic automation are Amazon and Tesla? The cynic in me doesn’t see much upside to automation for Amazon warehouse workers or Tesla assembly line staff.bit I have no doubt it’ll make Elon and Jeff richer still.
This and Obico/Spaghetti Detective are really neat. I've been wondering about a version that was aware of the intended model being produced and could detect failures by considering the exact 3D shape. It feels like it should be better at detecting something going wrong, but frankly the two cases you've got covered, spaghetti and shift, covers like...almost everything.

It looks like this runs entirely on a Raspberry Pi 4? That's pretty neat. As far as I know, Obico needs a significantly meatier computer.

I'm not even suggesting we should keep using particular chemicals even if they're known to be linked to infertility, only that if said chemicals have a particular benefit, maybe the disadvantage of slightly decreased fertility is worthwhile (as it is that link hasn't been firmly established even after decades of research).
From this 2019 study:

Serum concentrations of PFASs and exposure-related behaviors in African American and non-Hispanic white women

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41370-018-0109-y

Flossing with Oral-B Glide was associated with 24.9% (95% CI: 0.2–55.7) higher levels of PFHxS

Exposure to these chemicals and draws attention to coated cardboard prepared food containers and dental floss as modifiable sources.
Fast food packaging show that fluorinated chemicals are detected more frequently in paper wrappers than in paperboard containers.

Eating food prepared with nonstick cookware had no significant association with PFAS levels.
We didn't make that hospitable though. We found a hospitable place in an otherwise barren landscape. That's very different to Mars.

Mars is more like the rest of the desert, but with the addition of deadly levels of radiation and no breathable atmosphere.
