I read a book about this once, forget the title. Greenland’s cores have clear annual layers for several thousands of years (validated by extra ash layers from known volcanic eruptions), and they can measure carbon and temperature from the isotopes trapped inside (temp is measured due to some effect of oxygen isotopes following a reliable temperature gradient or something like that, they had a couple independent measurement methods that matched up). At some point the compacted layers start to merge but they can still reliably estimate because the overall cyclic trends (on multi thousand year scales, due to mathematically regular wobbling of earth’s rotation and other factors) follow the same trends from the clearly annual layers. This goes back several hundred thousand years, with temp increases always following carbon increases.

Edit: the book was The White Planet by Jean Jouzel, Claude Lorius, and Dominique Raynard

I've only ever done river sailing (including some intentional rudderless sailing), but I imagine in the open seas rudderless sailing isn't really feasible (at least in some conditions). Waves might make it impossible on their own.

Is the prohibitive cost of boosting it to a higher orbit calculated based on currently available rockets?

I can imagine that if in the next few years Starship becomes functional and anywhere close to as cost effective as is planned, then that should drastically reduce the cost of boosting the ISS.

San Francisco has a gross revenue tax that is significant for tech companies.

Hawaii also has a general excise tax based on gross retail and/or service revenues and is the state's primary tax on businesses (in lieu of income taxes).

Ohio's commercial activity tax is based on gross revenue above a threshold.

Oregon's corporate activity tax is based on gross revenue above a threshold.

Washington's B&O tax is based on gross revenue and is the state's primary tax on businesses (in lieu of income taxes).

France's social contribution tax is based on gross revenues above a threshold.

And those are just the ones I know off the top of my head because I deal with them regularly.

Hmm, first-mover advantage maybe, but there's no real "network effect" I can see - are all my friends on CL? How would I even know?

> I've come the long way around to deciding that, those people need to be included anyway.

Isn't that the point? At least from my POV, it's completely meaningless unless literally everybody is included. So yes, I'd include children, the mentally-infirm, and definitely convicts.

Think about how "universal"[0] enfranchisement came about: it has been a series of grants of influence/power, in layers, starting at the top. Barons demanded more say, and less arbitrary treatment, for themselves. They didn't get it, until they used force. Women were treated as we now treat terrorists, when they demanded a fair say.

The whole purpose of electoral systems is to deter people from trying to actually take power. So not including what you call "these people"[1] is a serious mistake.

[0] It's not universal, anywhere. Of course.

[1] The phrase "these people" is often used when othering a group of people. For example, it seems to spring easily to the lips of some Conservative politicans in the UK, when discussing immigration. It's sort of a trigger phrase for me.

>Languages simply are the way they are.

Not necessarily true. There are authoritative guides on English (e.g. the Webster dictionary) that grammar is measured up against. In fact, the main reason we have standardized spelling instead of people just writing what seemed right is because people actively tried to enforce a right and wrong way of spelling.

Believe me, scientists are very well aware of the problems in academia, publishing papers, peer reviewing, it is not perfect. But don't make the mistake to turn this into a global elitist conspiracy, yes there are some people who like to control the narative, but you really need to learn to distinct good from bad scientists. For starter, people who make money only by telling some other people that everything they believe in is crap, and that all other people except your little group needs to wake up and dont be sheep, that shouldnt be the guys/girls to trust.
BGS seems like a very costly and unnecessary system designed to keep functional centralization and central info control. Whatever interest I had in this is gone.
A gas pump fills a car at 20 MW, many gas stations operate at capacity for many hours a day with a dozen pumps active. EVs are ~4 times as efficient, but even being very generous, you've still got gas stations with the sustained power draw of an industrial arc furnace. This is not a trivial infrastructure problem to overcome. Very high power draw like that requires very high voltage transmission, which is dangerous and difficult.

Plug in hybrids are an extremely sensible intermediate step, and perhaps the only feasible endpoint. They solve almost every problem that electric vehicles solve, and also almost every problem that electric vehicles have.
Huh, that’s interesting. My fellow scholars and myself found it rather challenging. Basically all students who were not piano players took 4 semesters (keyboard I II III IV), where IV prepared you for the exam.

Is there only one 'private key', or do they use an intermediate cert kind of setup where they could revoke MSI via a BIOS update?
You don’t necessarily need “most people” to have a big and growing business, though. Getting electric cars into the garages of people in suburban and rural areas is still a pretty big market, and in these places there is often room to install solar panels. That will reduce load on the grid, which can be used for other purposes, including electric car charging in cities.

Also, maybe we shouldn’t expect one kind of transportation to dominate like happened for cars? There can be different solutions for different use cases. Driverless taxis, electric bikes, and public transportation all work sometimes, and they can be usefully combined.

It was the use of the term "skeleton key" that I think brings it down to the layman's level (it's the part where I thought "Oh.").

They still won't understand how it works, but it provides an intuition of the nature of the problem that most people could grasp (vs a presentation where the vast majority of people wouldn't get past the first page, even if they looked).
Nah, multilevel security fell out of favor because no large commercial vendor could do it. They retracted the requirements over a decade ago because it prevented Microsoft and IBM from bidding on government contracts to “secure” their infrastructure.

Is this anything like what Langchain supports which is various strategies for chat history compression (summarisation)?

https://www.pinecone.io/learn/langchain-conversational-memor...

But aside from this, if I have a large document that I want to "chat" with, it looks like I am either chunking it and then selectively retrieving relevant subsections at question time, or I am naively dumping the whole document (that now fits in 32k) and then doing the chat, at a high cost. So 32k (and increased context size in general) does not look to be a huge gamechanger in patterns of use until cost comes down by an order of magnitude or two.
The road ahead was always going to be daunting. It's just far longer, harder and more expensive if with nuclear power.

It's great if you want to share costs with the nuclear military industrial complex or you might need to build a nuke in a hurry one day. Not so much if you just want to decarbonize as cheaply and quickly as possible.
Honestly, I just read hackernews :).

> These are the people that will be automated out of jobs first.

This attitude is exactly why "tech bro" is a perjorative. There is a prominent group of people that shares your disdain for folks who are upset that their lives are being ruined by technological changes, all so that they can have some new shiny toys and become even wealthier.

On top of being, yes, gross, being so vocal about that attitude is stupid. It would be much better to at least pretend to have some empathy or at least keep your glee to yourself.

Yes most definitely! It doesn't follow the bad user to a new address per say, but rather flags each consecutive address to which that user transfers funds.

Yes abuse is my biggest fear. Especially for example someone who tries to falsify their reputation.

The best way we can mitigate abuse right now is to enforce a strict verification process when on boarding users.

ultimately the best way is to also do everything we do in a transparent manner, so that anyone can weigh in on their opinions.

is there any investment in moving power from say a massive solar array in some Arizona desert to Colorado and Texas?

I remember reading somewhere that a 100x100 miles sq plot of solar panels would be enough to power America. That doesn’t seem so bad.

Or maybe we put massive arrays in the atmosphere and have a 100 mile cable to earth (maybe in the desert) as a precursor to a space elevator.

I have found that companies that are owned by foundations are the better citizens, as they think more long term and are more susceptible to goals that, while still focusing on profit, might also take other considerations into account.
Plenty of stations I travelled between as a child (in Norway) were pretty much a bit of pavement next to the track, and no station building. Sometimes minutes from the nearest house.

I believe Firefox builds only unify files within the same directory and a maximum of a ~dozen cpp files per unit. So there are still plenty of build parallelism across directories.

Nonsense. Editors will edit based on whatever style guides they use and what's generally considered "proper" usage while respecting the author's stylistic choices as much as possible.

With respect to this case, I'd have to see a given usage in context but I would probably generally leave it as is.

If I'm editing you I'll try to avoid making a lot of changes that boil down to stylistic choice but I will absolutely change things I (and my references) consider wrong.

ADDED: You can of course personally use language however you want. But others will judge you based on that.

When you actually work with a high level engineer they can do a lot automouusly and can cut through ambiguous instructions based on experience, but they also require interactions that clarify important decision points and there are many. Gpt-x is miles away from this outcome
There's no way the grid will be ready for EVs unless we can somehow provide about 300M batteries of roughly 50Kwh storage that can absorb some of the cheap renewable power we'll be building.

The board isn't sui generous, it's established by the company. But if you're going about the selection process in good faith, you try to balance the membership so the decisions aren't driven by the interests of the company vs the ethics.

I inherited a codebase that uses this approach. You can use xvfb to get around the x11 frame buffer requirement. It works, but we are looking to migrate to another solution, since it appears that wkhtmltopdf is no longer maintained.
I don't think any of those things you mentioned, aside from the Supreme Court, are inherently part of the 'system', and I don't think the design of the US democratic system is inherently corrupt - in fact, most of the rules in place were designed with the intent of discouraging the inevitable corruption.

Individual problems can be attacked without dismantling the whole thing. Gerrymandering, especially, seems like it could have an outsized effect on the error rates of some elections.

They seem to try harder than most not to kick anyone off. That was demonstrated in that they waited until the last possible moment to stop operating in Russia. Also their press release reads like this:

> Our hearts and support go out to all those affected by this senseless war against Ukraine. We hope that a path to peace is ahead for Ukraine, and that we are able to bring our mission back to Russia and Belarus in the future.

That's quite hopeful considering where things are right now.

I would put them in a small set of bold companies processing lots of difficult payments including Uber, Lyft, AirBnb, and Coinbase.

> Because there's nothing to guarantee that the parents are contemplating the future when their kids are adults, and not just the near future.

Of course there are parents who don't think about this, but I think it's reasonable that people who have kids by and large think about the future their kids are going to live in. We have to make some sort of assumption about what interests people will consider, and I think this is reasonable. Naturally there's a lot of people and some won't behave like the rest, but can anything be done about that?

> It would be unconscionable to strip the votes from a child and give them to an abusive parent.

Sure, so don't let the abusive parents have the votes.

> If you parent well, then your children, once they turn 18, will vote similarly to you.

I think this a much riskier assumption than what I put forth above, that parents are thinking about the future of their kids.

What I would say is good parenting is if the kids give thoughtful reasons to why they're voting for whatever, rather than them voting the same way as me.

> We each, individually, have an individual's stake in society. A particular relationship doesn't change that.

We each do, but I'm also responsible for my kids' stakes. The fact I'm their dad is why. I'm not responsible for my adult friends because they're adults. Kids though, you have to do a bunch of stuff in their interest, while assuming you know their interest, aka making a good guess.

> Large families also use more of society's resources, at the expense of others

They also produce more of society's resources, for the benefit of others.

The current title of the article is:

> As more electric vehicles hit the road, our charging habits must change - here’s why

With these bullet points:

> The race is on to decarbonize road transport and get drivers to switch to electric vehicles (EVs).

> There were 16.5 million electric vehicles on the world’s roads in 2020 - this is expected to rise to 300 million by 2030. But with these rising numbers, the US grid could struggle without investment and changes in charging habits, a Stanford study finds.

> Modelling this future scenario, researchers predict that peak net electricity demand could increase by up to 25% and by 50% with full electrification.

I'm not really sure why OP decided "The grid isn’t ready for 300M EVs by 2030" as submission title. (I mean, I can guess, but... shrug) Seems like a violation of HN's "no editorializing titles" policy.

Discord Should Remove Usernames
I've used Craigslist for, what, decades and I never found it to be user-hostile. If I owned it, I would probably make a few tweaks here and there but I have no trouble at all placing an ad or browsing the listings. It's a very honest design and I think that speaks to people.

Contrast that to the thing that is replacing it: Facebook marketplace. It's beautiful, but, the barrier to entry is high, there is no practical way to browse specific categories, search shows tons of irrelevant results, there is no way to set up keyword or category alerts, and it's riddled with scams and flakes. The entire object of FB is not to get anything done, it's to keep you scrolling for as long as possible.
