For reference we’re producing about 60Gte/year globally.

For pure CO2, developed countries produce about 5t/year/person on the low end (Switzerland, Sweden, Italy) and >15 on the high end (Luxembourg, Australia).

To the surprise of no one, the US is on the high end (15.5), so are petrostates (Saudi Arabia 16, Brunei 18, UAE 23, and Qatar takes the top at 37).
Isn’t San Francisco a boom and best town all the way back to the gold rush?
… If you’re interested in building mobile apps.

There was the time my coworkers went to the Semantic Technology Conference in San Francisco when the WWDC conference was on and some of those people saw us in a bar and thought we were kindred souls and I said, “We’re not building apps, we’re building Skynet.”

For reference, Charm Industrial offers $0.6/kg.

https://charmindustrial.com/plans?planName=consumer&budget=6...

Charm's pricing is actually approaching reasonable to offset a single person's net CO2 emissions if you're comfortably middle class; in the low 4 digits per month. Add a tax benefit and get the costs a bit lower, and it starts to look doable.
Ask HN: Cause of UK e-gates outage?
A Bank-holiday weekend in the UK, the passport-control system (e-gates) goes down and all passports have to be checked manually, so huge queues etc. I'd assumed an unwise Friday deploy, but the press says the issue is "too sensitive to discuss", eg: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-65731795

Anyone with inside information they'd like to share?
San Francisco and Oakland are facing combined close to $500 million budget shortfall and are requesting a federal tax payer bailout. The second major federal bailout in eight years. Oakland has one of the highest violent crime rates in the entire country and they just cut more public safety and health jobs. I can't see how anyone can look at the situation in the Bay area and not anticipate anything other than continued decline.
That doesn't sound right, 4000 tons is more than 10 times the maximum takeoff weight of a 777.

I am not at all pessimistic about expert systems. These things go in cycles and piggybag on developments. NN's were niche for a long time. Speculative hypes act as a sort of Zitterbevegung: moving fast yet going nowhere.

But my suggestion is actually less ambitious: not to create confidence with reference to outside knowledge but purely on the basis of the training sample and its intrinsic statistics.

I think the path finding was one of the crucial elements that lead to porting AoE1 to the AoE2 engine (which was released just this month DLC Return of Rome). So there are some cases when it produces weird behavior, but in general I like it.

Nevertheless, I admire 0AD especially for the consistent progress and commitment to the game. It has been a while since I played it the last time. Might be a good occasion to start it again!
Explain like I’m 5:

Why is this better than just growing trees and then cutting them down and burying them so the co2 never gets back into the atmosphere?
All of the NAT problems would instantly to away with IPv6, but with adoption still at a meager 50% I suppose you'll need a PBX of some kind to receive at least half the calls.

For those stuck behind CGNAT, there are guides online for how to set up a VPN to a cheap VPS and forward all network traffic to your network so you can have almost-real connectivity at home. If you're content with 50mbps, you can even use Oracle's Always Free tier.
I remember watching something about Carbfix on TV: they inject the CO2 into underground magma and it is then incorporated in the rock formation (carbonate rocks?)

So, yes, it would make sense to use local geothermal electricity or even to produce it at the same time as the CO2 injection process if that's possible.
Hmm. I read the licence.md. Does this mean if I fork the game to try my own patches, I'm forbidden from using the game's artwork in my forked version?

If so, that is a serious impediment, tbf.
Plants/trees waste product is oxygen. And plants only need water and sun. Plants can also reproduce themselves. What we should concentrate on is to make artificial systems that get water to areas where it doesn't rain.
That really is irrelevant. Companies don't want it to be there, and will use their immense powers to try and stop it being there. It isn't worth the risk of trying to put it on Steam
From the GPT-4 paper (pp20):

2.13 Overreliance

...despite GPT-4’s capabilities, it maintains a tendency to make up facts, to double-down on incorrect information, and to perform tasks incorrectly. Further, it often exhibits these tendencies in ways that are more convincing and believable than earlier GPT models (e.g., due to authoritative tone or to being presented in the context of highly detailed information that is accurate), increasing the risk of overreliance.

Overreliance occurs when users excessively trust and depend on the model, potentially leading to unnoticed mistakes and inadequate oversight. This can happen in various ways: users may not be vigilant for errors due to trust in the model; they may fail to provide appropriate oversight based on the use case and context; or they may utilize the model in domains where they lack expertise, making it difficult to identify mistakes. As users become more comfortable with the system, dependency on the model may hinder the development of new skills or even lead to the loss of important skills. Overreliance is a failure mode that likely increases with model capability and reach. As mistakes become harder for the average human user to detect and general trust in the model grows, users are less likely to challenge or verify the model’s responses.

I don't think it will be "instant change". I agree on the gradual result, but I think it might be faster than we think. Yes, it also depends on the ecosystem, but I think the world is more ready for ISA diversity than ever.
And it also makes work uninteresting and dull for another few percent, who can no-longer choose to work for an ambitious startup.
What I'm hearing is that when Nintendo has to decide between its users or its publishers it is choosing the publishers.

If I'd known I would have gotten him something, like a plane ticket to the Hague.
Because why would they? They would have to dedicate a shitload of resources to optimizing decades of work for PC so a small slice of the market can buy old stuff. All of those games would stop being a hacky thing you're okay with bugs on to a thing Nintendo now needs to support. Not only software, but widely varying hardware and worse yet, controllers. There's simply no way they release wii games as paid products on PC and make a satisfying experience with a keyboard/mouse.

I have seen this idea now suggested multiple times. Nintendo's business model is sound. Protect the "official" experience at any cost so that it's 100% clear when you're playing on a Nintendo console vs a non-official emulator. Blocking dolphin's steam release is consistent with this goal; if it's on steam, it looks like a real product and non-tech people might start to think it's official.

There are many species of the Entomophthora genus capable of this brain-controlling mechanism [1], and at least this one (Entomophthora muscae) was already known to infect house flies and dung flies [2].

On the one hand, this suggests the genus is capable of adapting to many hosts. On the other, if some Entomophthora species are already endemic in Australia, then presumably the host-jumping risk is already present. Either way, it seems wise to be cautious.

Or maybe E.muscae is already present there? If that is the case, then the question is moot. Furthermore, the fact that it has only recently been seen in fruit flies, despite the latter being extensively studied, suggests it might not be useful in controlling their numbers.

Proxies with MITM (mostly corporate) would see everything, because they are terminating client SSL/TLS.
For what it's worth, and if you're willing to tinker, you can get IPv6 for free through a tunnel as long as your router responds to ICMP: https://tunnelbroker.net/

You can get a bunch of /64s and a /48 for free because HE really wants everyone to have IPv6 available already. Picking the right internet exchange to route from and making Netflix not throw a fit requires some minor experimentation but I've found it to work quite well.

As an added bonus, because of the way IPv6 route advertisements work, you don't have to have a router with tunneling support. You can set up advertisements from any Raspberry Pi or other computer as long as it has outbound connectivity.

> The British empire stopped existing in 1998, but I’d say the end of British rule over India in 1947 was the peak for the end of European imperialism. This had nothing to do with USA.

Decolonization, including the dismantlement of the British Empire, was an explicit policy goals of the US dating all the way back to at least WWII. One of the signature examples of this orientation—and the first clear assertion of American hegemony even over Britain—was the Suez crisis.

> Rise of democracies: Again did not follow USA occupations.

The democratic governments of West Germany, Italy, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, and Austria were effectively installed by the US and UK at the end of the Second World War. Without American involvement, none of these countries would have become democratic; they would have either remained fascist or become communist.

(This was not the case for e.g. Argentina, Turkey, or Portugal.)

> the EU: I honestly don’t know how you can give USA hegemony credit for this.

The core concept of the EU is the goal of establishing a “United States of Europe”. In other words, it is an attempt to emulate Europe’s hegemon, and it arose almost immediately after Western European democracy was installed by the Allies at the end of WWII.
What amazes me is that the Valley gazillionaires are not spending their fortunes to fix their own habitat. They can just BUY the city government they want.

Instead, they are shoving mountains of cash to turn the United States into some perverted libertarian fantasy, where the government is weak, paralyzed, ineffectual, and out of their way OH WAIT.

With "quality of life" I mean that I don't feel like I have to protect myself from my peers. Kids growing up poor still get an education. Kids (mostly) have access to some sort of activity keeping them out of trouble. It's not perfect, but it's something.

With regards to the weather: "Winter depression" is a real thing for many (including me), and the health care system is still far better with physical issues then with mental issues.

But there is a safety net in place. When I broke my shoulder in 2017 I did not loose any of my income, and it didn't cost me anything in the hospital (with some exceptions). Still, I would prefer not to break the shoulder again. :D

This was really great, thank you so much for sharing.
It's very much a sequel set in the same world. The original still exists, and allows you to experience the feeling of exploring a world after the end.

Tears doesn't want to repeat the exact same limited experience of exploration you had with the last game. It tries for something different.

Dolphin is by far the most well known emulator in its category. Honestly emulators don’t really have their place on a game marketplace, that would really just be an incentive for people who want to easily pirate games for free.

Anyone interested in emulating a Wii or GameCube for legitimate reasons will easily find Dolphin and can install it on their Steam Deck.
Sure, you specifically can use it million times, or even more (given your span of life).

If your audience is millions of users it’s millions * millions, not cool.
The second paragraph is just simply plain wrong throughout. You should actually learn the web stack and look at how things work in 2023 instead of reading other people's rants or secondhand opinions to form your own opinions. CSS is not hard. Performance talking is meaningless without benchmarks. No, you can definitely build a decent small website with a few or even no package dependencies. Maybe do a reality check first.

> It's time to move away from HTML/CSS/JS

Just meaningless empty talks over and over on HN. People who don't understand web stacks ranting about web without knowing the complexity and nuances. What alternatives do you have? Are they going to provide enough features and customization as the status quo? Will this new thing achieve at least 80% of development speed? Many companies adopted web stack for their application because of the flexibility and time to deliver. They make products, instead of being a purist
I like it, whenever someone is criticizing me or my work I take it as an opportunity to improve.

I always second guess and ask for more details, because the person might just be misunderstanding me and I don't want to act on a false negative feedback.

I also make sure to tell them that's like pair programming for life, that the person making the critic is helping me, that I like it and I also tell a funny story to make them comfortable.

I tell the person that when I was in the army I had big angry men with guns screaming insults at me, there's nothing they can say to me that I might take offense.

Give me feedback please.
Good to know, but now it's even more strange that they have two different implementations for two similar platforms (I use Firefox on Ubuntu).

agreed. as always, the old domain is to be held for at least a few years with a redirect or notice-then-redirect if the domain is slated for sale.

Interesting. Could you give a bit more of a concrete, specific example of "good pathfinding hurting the experience"? It's an odd sounding idea, to me.

Also, you seem to be deep in this world, I'll also ask you - are there RTS games out there where the specific terrain is crucially important for various unit types - like we've seen in the real world recently, with weather updates waiting for deep mud to dry out being the main factor in when tanks and other sorts of vehicles can be useful? My experience of RTS games is limited, but I remember maps being very flat overall, with very few types of steepness modelled.

Water in a lake is also technically free (depending on local laws), do I have to make it clear that inviting millions to take a cup out of it is not a good idea?
Oh. It's probably because that's not an obviously better progression.

Something along the lines of "why bother looking at their API, when the existing thing doesn't work properly?".

You're saying it's better via the API, but the standard (non-api) approach would have to be good enough first to draw people in more I guess.
Jet fuel is comprised mostly of hydrocarbons with 8 to 16 C atoms, and a large fraction of these hydrocarbons are straight-chain alkanes.

Combustion of dodecane (a C12 straight-chain alkane) makes 12 CO2 molecules. A 747 jet consumes about 4 L of jet fuel per second when in flight. Based on the density and molecular weight of dodecane and the stoichiometry of its combustion reaction, you'd arrive at something like 0.01 ton of CO2 emitted per second of flight time.

4000 tons is a good estimate.

Back of the envelope...
It was just a relatively recent development in large part due to Facebook (https://domainnamewire.com/2022/04/25/meta-platforms-drops-l...), after this settlement the response to abuse reports did markedly improve.
You have to account for the mass of the oxygen that gets bonded to the carbon in the jet fuel to form CO2. i.e. most of the mass is coming from atmospheric oxygen, not what the aircraft is carrying onboard.
“Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević.”

"... and feel what they _DO_ day for day has some kind of meaning."
Explaining jokes rarely works well, but I have to ask: is calling a bushel a "unit of weight" part of the joke? Traditionally a bushel is typically a unit of volume, not of weight: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushel

As the Wikipedia article points out, it's true that in modern commerce a bushel is often defined as a weight, but this weight is different for each item that might be in the bushel. That is, it's a legally defined mass approximately equal to one bushel of that material.

But a peck (so far as I know) has never had a defined weight equivalent. So to the extent that a bushel is equal to four pecks, it's a unit of volume. Wouldn't it make for a better (if still dumb) joke to start "A bushel is a unit of volume equal to four pecks"?
Future historians who honor the truth will speak ill and condemn this war criminal for posterity.
What did they think was going to happen?
A lot of people want a polished product, and go in with expectations it will be something it isn't.

I think part of the problem is people are used to equate eloquence with intelligence and knowledge, and when that assumption doesn't hold, they assume it's all smoke and mirrors rather than explore its limits.
