Mostly what's going on is that infrared that would have escaped to space at about 12 km up in the atmosphere is now partially absorbed and re-radiated by the increased CO2 at this level. At these altitudes, the atmosphere is cold and dry so injecting more CO2 has a knock-on effect:

https://history.aip.org/climate/co2.htm

> "Improved physics theory and precise laboratory measurements in the 1940s and after encouraged a new way of looking at the absorption. Scientists were especially struck to find that at low pressure and temperature, each band resolved into a cluster of sharply defined lines, like a picket fence, with gaps between the lines where radiation would get through.(24) As Hulburt and Callendar had claimed, the most important CO2 absorption lines did not lie exactly on top of water vapor lines. Instead of two overlapping bands, there were two sets of narrow lines with spaces for radiation to slip through. So even if water vapor in the lower layers of the atmosphere did entirely block any radiation that could have been absorbed by CO2, that would not keep the gas from making a difference in the rarified and frigid upper layers."

However, this CO2 at 12km only accounts for about 1/3 of the warming - what happens is that the warming is amplified by more evaporation (due to increased warmth) which injects more water vapor into the atmosphere (from the oceans and land evaportation) and that's the other 2/3 of the effect more or less.

It is a slow change, but steady. It's entirely possible that humans will be able to adapt to much of the change, assuming we stop pumping fossil CO2 into the atmosphere within the next few decades or so.

That's fair, I was focused on defending requirements engineering in general than just user stories. But yes you'd follow something like the V-model and you'd need these requirements, that could resemble something like user stories, to fill out a remarkably boring requirements traceability matrix on the other side.

If you look at Appendix C of IBMs manual on writing requirements in DOORS [0] you'll see they can easily turn into something similar to "I as a user...". Not that I think that fits everything, nor do I think anyone should need to use DOORS lol.

Threatening to compete harder is anti-competitive?
Military usage of the words ‘force’, ‘momentum’, and ‘charge’ also don’t follow their classical physics definitions.

Likewise military specialists look confused when mathematicians ask them whether ‘military operations’ are commutative.
It seems like a fine name. I personally didn't link it to that connotation, and instead initially thought of Rocky and Bullwinkle, and a distant relative of a past generation. For all I know the honored co-founder was a curmudgeon, so maybe it's an especially clever pun?

If I were tasked with improving the about page, I would probably use the about page to explain the purpose and merits of the operating system. I would move the explanation of the name to the first question in the FAQ, or to a separate "Rocky's Legacy" page. Mainly, it would depend on whether the guy was known to be modest or proud. Then that section could be a true tribute without any risk of compromising the readability of the site.

I have yet to see a single user story that actually gives any correct details of what the user wants or is doing, though. They're invariably written by product managers who have never been in the users shoes and have absolutely zero understanding of what the product is or what the users do.

The engineers building a product have typically actually been in the users shoes. The product managers almost never have.

When I start seeing user stories that aren't actively harmful, I might feel differently. As it is, the first thing you should do as an engineer is throw away the user story or management's description of the problem and go straight to the actual user feedback.

User stories are like watching a fish try to describe a bicycle....

Haven't tried float therapy but most things like chiropractic, acupuncture and various forms of massage really didn't do anything except cost me thousands of dollars. Practicing Buddhism has help me let go of attachments to how my body had worked in the past which has helped as I've aged as other things fail.

Talking about the chronic pain in therapy or not, reminds me of how I got injured and how I was treated by my former employer. The more I talk about these feelings and these events, it triggers significant rage some 30 years later. The only way I found to deal with it is by practicing nonattachment. The easiest way to explain is that it's not that I don't feel the anger but it's an attenuated emotion. It passes by without sticking (much) and with some breathing, fades into nothingness till the next time.
A more practical way to deal with adversarial content would be a "filter" AI we can use like AdBlock to hide the nuisances. You can have your own preferences, not the ones prevailing on any platform you want to visit.

It is possible to do this with current day technology. Pinbot (was on HN 3 days ago) has a transformer model for embeddings. It could also filter any topic or type of content we want, and the kicker - it runs all in the browser, private and no internet connection required

We can just tick a box to avoid Elon, Bitcoin, or various kinds of hype and activism, it works by semantic matching, so it understands phrase variations. Or maybe we just want to skip the occasional cat videos. The solution to the current situation is end user empowerment, we can make our own AI filters.

It may be the case that on average everyone's life would be better. But this seems to be some fundamental misunderstanding of how averages work. Someone's quality of life increases, someone else's goes down. And maybe theirs doesn't go down as much as someone eles's goes up... so the average is up.

But if you're the one poor schmuck whose quality of life goes down. Then it sucks to be you.

> you can get feedback whenever the mouse moves onto a clickable thing on the screen - a window, an icon, things on the Taskbar - and you can also get feedback when you're performing tasks like sizing a window or moving a scroll bar.

MacBook trackpads already use haptic feedback to simulate the tactile feel of clicking.

So in theory you could easily replicate the "iFeel Mouse" effects with the hardware in trackpads today.

Does macOS expose API's for any of this? Or has anyone figured out a way to hack it with code? Or is it all hidden away deep in inaccessible firmware?

I would be exceptionally curious to know what it feels like, if whenever I moved my cursor across the tab bar of my browser, I felt a tiny bump between each tab. Or if I felt a little indentation when I slid into a text box.

i disagree that the rejection of pay systems is dogmatic. clarkesworld has already published authors who could not make such payments, so clearly any payment system would have prevented those stories from reaching us and we would have missed out.

Noise barriers aren’t a ‘US’ thing. It would be up to the local state or county or city to build them so your results may vary. If you catch yourself saying ‘the US does this or that’ then reconsider the question bc the US doesn’t ‘do’ anything one way or another. It’s a collection of 50 states and thousands of localities.

For those truly too lazy to click through to the article, x86-S stands for "simplified," with the idea being to boot directly into 64-bit mode instead of booting into 16-bit and bootstrapping to 64-bit mode. 16-bit mode would be removed entirely. It's not clear to me if 32-bit mode would be axed as well, or if it would be retained (maybe partially).

This is a big claim. Do you have any evidence to support it?

In the wake of someone trying to prove the same for Congress, it was conclusively shown that the opposite was true:

Other (imo justified) complaints about Elon aside, the success that Starlink had achieved is absolutely incredible. Poking around it looks like SpaceX now controls (or soon will) the majority of active satellites.

CentOS was, as you say, a community developed drop-in replacement for RedHat RHEL that subsumed a number of earlier RPM-based distributions in the early-mid 2000s. It was _widely_ used: in the 2010s the CentOS install base was on the same scale as Debian.

The CentOS governance structure and trademarks were effectively absorbed by RedHat, Inc in 2014.

In 2020 RedHat unilaterally "refocused" CentOS from being essentially "Community RHEL" to being "CentOS Stream" which is more or less a stability channel somewhere between Fedora and RHEL. This doesn't suit the needs of many folks who were running CentOS, and was done so abruptly that they even broke support window promises on the current release at the time, so it generated some bad feelings.

AlmaLinux and RockyLinux are projects that promptly spun up to replace CentOS in the "Community RHEL" role, from different prominent members of the community: Alma from CloudLinux, Inc. and Rocky from Greg Kurtzer of [CentOS cofounder,Warewulf,Singularity/AppTainer, CIQ] fame.

I don't know all the inside politics, but the reason there are two appears to be partly related to concerns about governance structure to prevent another round of commercial capture of community resources.

I think they've been working on that. The size of our military and the amount of logistics that occurs requires a tremendous amount of supply chain infrastructure that is not all wired up in to some centralized system.

You can imagine the complexity of auditing the work of tens of thousands of different individuals annually with 100% coverage in a system distributed all over the world that has just tons and tons of constant hard real world material needs day after day, year after year.

My understanding of the situation is that these early year audits were never expected to be a full audit of the entire DoD but the results of the path towards a more auditable system and that we'll see that number of unaccounted for assets continue to shrink over time.

It's only in the last decade or so a system that'd be auditable would be possible without it divesting huge amounts of manual resources at the accounting department as far as I can tell.

That's the main danger of metrics: they have a nasty tendency to turn into goals, rather than data points that can be combined with other knowledge in order to provide a more complete picture.

This problem seems quite common in software these days, and is why I've soured a lot on the use of metrics to aid development.

That media executives and politicians were paid off by Big Pharma to promote an experimental prophylactic (does not actually prevent infection, unlike every other vaccine in existence) under the guise of a campaign of fear to inject as many people as possible, even though only elderly/obese/very sick people would really receive a marginal benefit. Oh and if you had a bad reaction, you can't sue the manufacturer.

With ChatGPT, the only thing new was the chat interface. In fact even Sam Altman mentioned this on Lex Fridman's podcast, IIRC - he said what he was most surprised about was the outsized effect the interface had on bringing LLM to the forefront of public consciousness, despite the existing maturity of the underlying GPT models. At least in that case it was OpenAI adding interactivity to its own existing models. But similarly, from a more holistic viewpoint, OpenAI productized existing research from Google. Transformer models were "old tech" since Google published "Attention is all you need" in 2017... and yet, when OpenAI managed to turn it into a usable product, suddenly they became the first movers and the company to beat. So I'm not convinced that only a "dumb" investor would fund an effort with a proven ability to productize "old tech."

Of course if you just stick to a non-QWERTY layout and never use QWERTY, you don't have this problem. My solution to that has mostly been to use an external "mechanical" keyboard that I flash with a colemak layout. But on laptops I often type on that keyboard and use software to switch and that's worked OK for me too. Some programs use the key code instead of the letter, and that messes me up occasionally on laptop keyboards (maybe VS code, from memory?).

Colemak does keep C, X and V in the same places for this reason, but if you're a big hotkey user, that's only a small part of it.

When Moore wrote in 1965, commercial use of MOS was 10 years in the future and Dennard scaling would not become widely understood and stirring interest in CMOS until 15 years in the future. So, he was actually observing an era much like now, with multiple chiplets inside the can and all sorts of random improvements that had an emergent trend. The Dennard era, which gave Moore its main impulse, was about 20 years long. Maybe 25 years if you include controlling tunnel leakage by introducing Hf-based dielectrics, and FinFETs since they sort of crinkle the surface of the chip to give you double the area, and otherwise obey classic Dennard laws of constant power per unit area.

But even during the Dennard era there were a bunch of big random innovations needed to keep things going. CMP allowing the number of metal routing layers to balloon, keeping distances under control. Damascene metals allowing much finer metals carrying heavier currents. Strained channels for higher frequency and better balance between P and N. Work-function-biased fully depleted transistors to avoid the stochastic problems with doping small channels. Etc.

So what really happened is not that Moore ended. We still have a wealth of random improvements (where "wealth" is the driving force) which contribute to an emergent Moore improvement. But the large change is Dennard ended, which gave us scaling at constant power. Although some of the random improvements do improve energy efficiency per unit of computation, they are not overall holding the line on power per cm2. At the end of the classic Dennard we were around 25W /cm2 but now we commonly have 50W in server chips, and there are schemes in the works to use liquid cooling up to hundreds of W / cm2.

Well, ok. But does that kill Moore? Not if it keeps getting cheaper per unit function. And by that I do not mean per transistor. But as long at that SOC in your phone keeps running faster radio, drawing better graphics, understanding your voice, generating 3D audio, etc., and is affordable by hundreds of millions of consumers, Moore remains undead.

Fundamentally the difference is that religion is rooted in philosophy while science is rooted in empirical reasoning.
