> between the 1950s and the 1980s, the temperature of the Antarctic Southern Ocean rose by 0.17 °C (0.31 °F), nearly twice the rate of the global ocean.

>The warming rate varies with depth: at a depth of a thousand metres the warming occurs at a rate of nearly 0.4 °C per century (data from 1981 to 2019), whereas warming occurs at only half that depth [sic]

So from 20% of two centruries we have developed a long term average?

The chart of excess ocean energy also relates the current ocean energy relative to an average which ends in 2006. If you're unaware this biases the end values upwards.

Calculating out their 2020 value to each kg of ocean water on earth for a depth of 700m gives 0.189Cal. In other words, less than 20% of one degree above an arbitrary average calculated on a century basis with 80% of the century data absent.

If this could just pretend to appear as science i would start to care.

As an aside, the example would be even more dramatic with non-sugar, where the 0.5L bottle is €1.88, but the 1L bottle is €1.95, due to both the price premium of ‘convenient size’ and ‘healthy alternative’ being stacked.

Remember that most manufacturers aren't printer companies. They're ink/toner companies.

Printers haven't substantially changed for years, all the (literally) thousands of new models being churned out are presumably to avoid anyone bring able to standardise on a third-party work-alike ecosystem that would remove the barrier to entry. No one needs the HP CrapJet 2321e to be developed except HP. Most new features (say WiFi or Dropbox printing) could really handled with software or at worst an upgradable control module[1], without redesigning all the mechanics.

Currently, if you want to sell your own ink or toner, you first have to build a printer and defend it from undercutters who would like to not have to pay to build a printer first. Or, if you are the undercutters, you have to constantly play catch up as the printer manufacturers change the products to make your job harder.

An open printer hardware platform is what's required, à la Framework or Prusa 3D printers. The non-printer hardware (ports, WiFi, screen, CPU, power) is almost trivial now. This wouldn't actually be that hard: the data rates are low and the mechanical issues are mostly solved. But without that, you're always going to be making reversed firmware for last year's printers and HP can make the CrapJet 2322 with "new improved ultrasecure" features faster than you can break them, and now you're behind and the 2322 is already being replaced with the 2322a and your users can't even buy the models you support except on eBay.

The other problem is that the incumbents have thoroughly mined the path with overlapping fields of patents, so if you tried it, they'd hammer you into the ground with lawyers.

[1]: basically a slot for an SBC with a standard connector to the printer hardware. Even if you need a new control board because you want a 5G modem or something, you can still use the same printer mechanism.

> Intelligence is best measured by outcomes. How some entity is best able to manipulate its existence.

I agree, although I think we humans have always been fairly bad at measuring intelligence in a way that truly appreciates all the complexity of it. The second part of that is also interesting and I would agree that is partly what makes these LLMs non-intelligent. The models do not really have "an existence" outside of the moment in which they are processing the context and producing output.

> Intelligence can manifest in more than one way. An entirely mechanical system could be considered to have some level of "intelligence"

I don't think I agree with this, or at least maybe I disagree with your definition of "intelligent". I believe that intelligence is heavily intertwined with biology and it exists is all manner of non-human creatures but I don't think I would call an entirely mechanical system "intelligent". Perhaps I would say it had "intelligent design".

> Considering something intelligent or to have desires is not anthropomorphizing.

I absolutely agree with this and I was not trying to imply that it was unique to humans. In fact I think we severely discount the amount of intelligence in non-human life forms all the time.

I do think that ChatGPT possesses knowledge (as encoded in its weights) similar to a book, however unlike a book it also has a convenient and familiar interface that allows us to interact with this knowledge and form unique and novel results.

Sounds like you had a great philosophy teacher.

Guided discussion about open-ended questions can be the most satisfying kind of teaching for both teachers and students. It’s also resistant to cheating with GPT, at least when conducted live and in person [1]. It becomes harder to pull off as classes become larger and subjects become more technical—but maybe that’s the kind of learning that should be replaced by interactive bots anyhow.

[1] I’m teaching a discussion-based university class online this semester, and last week one student with her camera off sounded as if she might be reading her comments aloud rather than speaking spontaneously. I wondered if she might have composed them with ChatGPT.

Offering a solution/help may in some cases be interpreted as that the person receiving the suggestion is in a position where they need help. -- It's nicer to be in a position where you're a superior receiving help from subordinates, than to receive help because you're in an inferior position.

It's not likely an inexperienced junior will be able to offer meaningful suggestions of improvement to an experienced senior. If the junior makes suggestions to the senior, it's possible the senior will feel disrespected, or that his seniority/experience isn't acknowledged/appreciated. -- By making a suggestion, you're implying that the recipient doesn't know about (or didn't think about) it.

If someone asks for help and doesn't receive it.. it's like they're -1, and not being given a +1.

I don't think author's point is as concrete as "giving help = status related". Just more of an observation that, sometimes people get upset in communication, and mismatching expectations (different cultural styles) around that lead to stepping on toes.

It's much more efficient to have brighter vehicle headlamps and reflective signage and road surfacing. You drive as fast as your visibility allows for stopping distance. When the visibility is poor, the instinct is to travel slower and pay more attention, which contributes to safety. Perception of safety is often not correlated to safety at all. Roundabouts are much safer and often more efficient than traffic lights, but drivers tend to feel scared using them, resulting in reduced speeds and much less injuries.

Funnily enough the way he describes musical instruction is actually a good idea in my opinion. I think it’s weird that we don’t teach people to read music effectively as a regular part of musical instruction. Playing music is boring and mundane unless you’re good at it and becoming good first involves imitation. The most effective way at to imitate is to be able to read. I know everyone says there are loads of amazing guitarists who can’t read music but there are zero amazing guitarists who didn’t start by imitating someone else.

Why not give people the best way to imitate as a first step?

Music and maths are very similar in that they are as much a skill as they are an art form. You have to practise both regularly, you can’t cram for maths on the night before an exam and you can’t cram the night before a music recital.

I think music education should be more like mathematics but I also think that both should bring “big ideas” and outcomes into play sooner, with less emphasis on theory and more emphasis on practical implementation. In maths that means project based learning in music it means focusing on reading and practise rather than theory.

Given that there is open source firmware for 3D printers, I’d say no. Also, the “resolution” of 3D printers is not high enough to allow for a tell tale “mark” that was otherwise undetectable.
For sure. Seems hard to say, I'll bow to anyone's superior knowledge since I'm speculating right now, but I reckon a ring system may sometimes be a sort of natural optimizer which finds a stable configuration where they're far enough away to avoid the atmosphere and sparse enough that the effects between particles are negligible. The mechanism I propose here is that the most unstable parts of the system might deorbit first, leaving behind something stable.

Again, wanton speculation from someone on the internet who's qualifications are that they thinks this is an interesting question to consider, don't take it anymore seriously than that.

I have always been fascinated by computer viruses/malwares which is my primary motivation to teach myself system programming.

I'm wondering if there is any value to drill into pre-Win2000 era viruses? I heard that subsequent advances in computer security made all of those exploitations obsolete. I have on my HD the "Little Black Book of Computer Viruses" which focuses on DOS viruses. I don't have any DOS programming experience so barely read it, but reading a book that openly teaches one how to write a virus excites me a lot.

> if you're bothered because it's a different country, then welcome to the club.

The issue is which country has access to our very personal data, not simply a "different country". There are many countries whose citizens would trust a foreign government ahead of their own.
Similar context, Facebook. Every couple weeks a story about small children dying in horrible circumstances "pops up". It's usually a crime story, a news report, or an article about history (most recently, about intentional murder of children during WWII). It's always so hard-hitting emotionally that even her re-telling me what it was about is enough to break my emotional balance. Every time a story like this "pops up", the evening is a write-off.

I've already, with her consent, wiped her advertising profiles once. This reduced the incidents from, at its peak, every couple days, to every couple weeks.

Thing is, none of these stories are against any kind of content policy. News reporting and articles about history are all above-board. But this kind of stuff showing up on her feed, mixed with "normal" baby stuff, with alarming frequency? That's for the first time that I felt how "the algorithm" can fuck people over.
They even say in the article:

> Notably, the serving sizes on food labels are primarily based on data about how much food people typically eat, not necessarily the quantity of food the National Institute of Health suggests the average person should eat each day.

And they don’t seem to look at all at nutrition information (intended to be compared to the recommended daily amount of various nutrients) - or even if they’re eating the recommended number of calories per day (which it feels to me like they can’t be).
The only reason I would want types is for specific error types that I could ideally match against instead of them being raised (in Node.js or Typescript).

In Elixir you have the option of calling functions that raise vs functions that return an error tuple so there's no contention there (the difference between function() (this does error tuple) and function!() (this raises).

Elixir also has this idea of a typespec and I have never felt I needed more, personally.

I responded at length to the sibling but just want to say - usually where I've come in there is an operations manual that works very much like a schema. Investigating where it's being overridden in daily practice often helps to form more linear processes / more consistent logic than was in the manuals. Once those are worked out, the software becomes the glue that forces employees to follow the processes, and the manual is about the software. But you're right: Stepping into a messy organic system and writing software around it is hard. It's much harder if they aren't willing to be flexible.

Yes it is the only thing that really bothers me about Elixir. In my personal projects, I heavily utilise typespecs which makes it somewhat bearable. But in my previous day job that had a high turnover rate (and hence a huge mess) doing any refactoring on the Elixir codebase was a nightmare even with tests.

I found maintaining the Typescript codebase in the same company much easier.
