Do cities have redundant water sources though? Not all of NYC's water goes through Hillview Reservoir, but it seems like a pretty serious vulnerability to me. It doesn't seem like a terrible analogy.

But cities are worth the risk, can you say the same about nuclear plants? Most established designs can't operate as peaker plants, or even seasonal plants (eg: covering for solar in the winter when there is less sun and more load for heating). They are expensive because they are mired in political issues and red tape. I don't think it has to be like that, and I wish it weren't. But is fixing nuclear an easier problem to solve than to invest in grid storage and more dynamic pricing?
I've started using NetNewsWire for this recently - it can poll RSS/Atom feeds and show notifications.

So first you have to tag someone with a unique pathogen that is subclinical and doesn’t transmit to others. But I guess if you have that level of access to someone, you can track in other ways.

But I think we’re a few decades away from being able to quickly hash every human gene to fingerprint individual dnas within huge populations.

This is what I'm getting at. It seems to indicate they aren't meeting a minimum standard and they think working in person will get them there. It's why performance standards exist. The difference is I'm acknowledging that the performance standards of the company matter too, not just the individual. So if the company thinks they need to raise their standard of work* (rightly or wrongly) by making people work in person, it's still a valid action (depending on the exact nature of the remote agreement).

It's like the comment above that equated familial interruptions to coworker interruptions. The former is generally a net negative to the company while the latter is not. The comment seems to view everything from the lens of the individual.

* there's probably a valid argument as to why they feel compelled to that matters and the article doesn't exactly put a fine point on it
So if reddit's official app is difficult to use, at what point can regular 3rd party apps claim to be accessibility tools?
Either way, in ELO it depends on the ELO of your opponent, and so a loss against an AI with an accurate (very high) ELO is not going to lose you much unless you're one of the best players in the world (heck, in chess, Magnus Carlsen's ELO would still go down by literally nothing from losing against stockfish).

A couple of years ago, Turkey/Türkiye had a campaign to get people to use Türkiye in English. At that time I flew Turkish airlines, which had a promotional video about this, and with all mentions of Turkey in safety cards, magazines and the seat back screen changed to Türkiye. Then when browsing for a tv show to watch on my seat back screen, I came across an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond with a description something like “on thanksgiving day, Raymond burns the Türkiye“

Russian seems to be better than even English at grabbing words wholesale from elsewhere. Maybe that makes translations easier? Probably not, but it's a fun thought.

My favorite example of that was a sign at an airport. Marking a spot off for taxis and rideshares. The latter was spelled out phonetically in Cyrillic. I was a little surprised they didn't use the Russian words for "ride" and "share".

I mean I think peer review kind of is fundamentally broken, but at the same time this phenomenon isn't necessarily a sign of it.

Even within technical papers, let alone pop writing or internet discussions, many of the claims citations are provided for are broad e.g. "X can increase people's anxiety". A very rigorous study might exist showing that when X happens a specific way it does increase some form of anxiety in some specific subset of the population, but using it as a citation for the broad statement without further context can be misleading at times.

It's in fact possible that by considering different subsets of the same statement you'd get an opposite directional effect. That can certainly be used to confuse people, especially in a situation where it is unlikely most readers will dive deeply into the cited works.

As far as nit picking - the same general principle applies. There will always be some tradeoff between scope, rigor, and available resources to do the study. If we waited for papers to be perfect in both correctness and interestingness/utility there would be almost nothing to ever publish.

So I think the systemic problem here is moreso an undervaluing of review article and text book type resources (both reading them and writing them) in favor of vomiting out random individual paper citations for whatever claim. Science needs more heterogeneity in the roles different PIs fill for the system.

Improving peer review process would be great (and might indirectly help), but I don't feel it's the root.
In fairness, in a renewably powered world Finland is going to be a really bad place to be. It's one of the worst places for energy (I'd call it the energy butthole of that world but I'll reserve that label for Russia). Solar is seasonal and wind is relatively sparse there.

What this means is you're going to lose your heavy energy intensive industry. Going with nuclear won't save you from that, if you're then competing with industry in places where solar is available all year at costs likely to be below $0.01/kWh.
What worries me is that this isn't a sustainable position. Already the googling for reddit posts sometimes backfires, says hey here's a recent comment from two weeks ago but then you open it and its the same 5 year old post you've already read somehow. Then you have a general decline of the quality of the community, more people posting in a biased manner than an unbiased one, among other issues. Not to mention, advertisers know about reddit too, and are probably shilling the crap out of their products to respective subreddits who link their offerings in the sidebar or the subreddit faq or wiki page. Eventually it's going to be no different than any other enshittified corner of the internet, which is scary because where do you go then? I'd be hunting for actual books again for information. Pretty sad that the world wide web is reaching a point where the old brick and mortar library is the better source of information again, given all the promise it had at the start as being a step forward from that.

Right, as I mentioned. Same with American or even Southern American accents. There are a wide variety of distinct ones on both sides of the pond.

The various accents do tend to have features in common, though, so you can hear that the various southern accents are part of the same family, and similarly with the various British accents. There are, of course, exceptions to this as well. This bit of linguistic history is really referring to a fairly specific American accent and a fairly specific British accent.

With that framing, I agree. However, I don’t think it needs to be. I’m hoping it’s more that virtual reality is where to go to interact professionally and you’ll take off the goggles for your personal time.

If, instead of needing to live in close proximity to work opportunities, often in an expensive and crowded city with a long commute, people could live wherever they want and commute virtually, that would be a huge positive in my book. That is already possible for some professions, such as software development. But good VR/AR will open the door to other professions that still require in person collaboration today and will improve those that are already remote capable. Then, at the end of the day, you take off your headset and live your life wherever/however you choose.

The world did absolutely suddenly become more authoritarian in the past ten years (the US, China and Russia all have become more authoritarian and so have many other countries). We're not back to 1940s levels of authoritarianism yet, but if that happens it will be much worse this time around thanks to technical progress.
Yeah, that’s a feasible work-around.

I’m thinking the val author could require a Notion auth in order to run the val. Once I’m logged-in, the val can use my creds to make requests to Notion API on my behalf.

What would also be a amazing is to be able to configure custom inputs and show a UI to add/overwrite these input params before I run a val. I’m thinking similar to the forms feature in Google Colab

Our use case: we have some TypeScript scripts that we want to expose to our non-technical folks. Currently we share the scripts via GitHub and let them run them with Deno as CLI.

Thanks for your kind offer, btw.! We don’t have a urge right now, but will be more than happy to migrate our scripts to val, once there is a way to work around the points above!

Really love what you’re doing with val. We are big fans already and will be watching closely!

"The properties of ice make it particularly well suited to catalysing chlorine activation and to removing nitrogen oxides at the low temperatures of the stratosphere, but there are clues that other particle types might also have a role. The powerful eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines in 1991 injected large amounts of sulfur dioxide gas into the stratosphere. After being transported long distances and oxidized, this gas became a layer of reflective sulfuric acid particles over much of the globe. In addition to reducing global average surface temperatures by 0.5 °C for more than a year, these particles also catalysed ozone loss in the stratosphere — not just over polar regions, but throughout the mid-latitudes" (cites Brasseur, G. & Granier, C. Science 257, 1239–1242 (1992) here)

That's a pretty good description of most people IC affiliated. I'm not sure about your interviewer friend though, doesn't sound like someone I'd want to interact with.

That said, almost all of how these things work are out there in memoirs, biographies and non-fiction books. Robert Gates is a prolific writer and did a great job in his memoirs describing the IC. I mean yes the majority are purely discreet in their current or former capacity. It took me a long time before I would discuss my affiliations etc... and I generally don't discuss anything more than structural "how it works" kind of things that can be found in a lot of memoirs etc as described.

I'm always happy to discuss to a point but most of it would just be boring stuff.

They're probably mostly bothered by the title of the article not making it clear "up-front" that it's a U.S.A.-centric article. If the title were "The Birth of the American Grid" or somesuch, they likely would not have had a complaint about it.
That it has or might have self-awareness of it's own censorship routines struck me as interesting. Maybe you can prompt refusals for benign requests out of it with the right combination of words?
Yeah, I was about to ask it "OK, how long should I wait, or do you need me to provide more input?" then I remembered, I'm not talking to a being. There's no reason to ask it questions like that. Keep talking about the problem, it's trained to talk about a solution, (don't spoil the illusion! Just let it pretend it saw the PDF file, and see how far this goes.)

I still think things might have gone differently if I provided it with the PDF as base64 encoded content. That's me, still not understanding what type of machine is a GPT/LLM, isn't it. It can write a parser but it can't test and run the parser. But it can pretend we did, and it can sure apologize when I call it out for lying!
You are selective in your concern. Is industrial society as a whole ok? It will produce much more waste that needs recycling that solar/wind will. If it is ok, then why would solar/wind not be?

This smells of bad faith argumentation.
Ritual sacrifice, including of children is well documented all across the world (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_sacrifice). So it's not a question of likelihood, we've dug up plenty of gravesites documenting it especially in Mesoamerica. There's even some modern examples, with an isolated tribe of Chilean natives sacrificing a 5 year old after the 1960 Valdivia earthquake.

You have it sort of backwards. These practices are only 'horror' by modern standards, it doesn't make sense to disregard history because we live by other values than an ancient civilization.

We really have to get back on track with controlled burns after the environmentalist 'save all trees' experiment that started in the 1960's has put us in the position we are in now.

Canada used to have many controlled burns throughout last century until the last quarter - Nova Scotia is a typical example (1979 paper):

https://cdnsciencepub.com/doi/abs/10.1139/x79-031

California is dangerously behind on forestry and therefore fire management compared to earlier decades. Fuel has to be removed or fire and smoke will cause massive damage and have a very serious psychological and economic impact.

Native Americans conducted controlled burns for thousands of years until they started getting shot by forestry rangers a hundred years ago.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/12/3/new-california-law-...

There are no saw mills left in Northern California and strict rules about not cutting trees down. Wood is imported from Canada at massive expense, driving up the cost of housing. we seem to have lost the plot a bit here.

> You also would not have needed such a class if the keyboard was laid out in Dvorak for everybody

you seriously believe, without any doubt, that with a clearly labelled dvorak keyboard and no typing lessons you would not have learned to hunt-and-peck at increasingly higher speeds as you did with QWERTY, but instead put your fingers "on the home row" and used your pinkies? At a young age, we all learn the alphabet, and if the keyboard is not in alphabetic order, you are on a hunt for keys, and fingers in the home position will obscure too many key labels.

Sorry, but thinking about it for 30 seconds makes it hard for me to take your argument seriously.

(as a total off-topic aside, back when Cambodian politics and Prince Sihanouk were in the news a lot, I thought "must be hunt-and-peck in German" every time I heard "FUNCINPEC" on the radio)
