The earth isn't a closed system and has a "Energy Budget":

https://scied.ucar.edu/learning-zone/how-climate-works/energ...

Humans have decreased the rate that the earth dissipates heat into space, and even small changes can cause large feedback loops that we care about because Humans can only survive within a TINY threshold of temperature variance [1].

Over the long term (~100-200k years) it will probably go back to some kind of pre-human equilibrium - with the very long term earth being mathematically uninhabitable based on the increasing amount of radiation that will bombard the earth as the Sun goes Red Giant.

This is my approach. There's no point in maintaining a subscription if I don't actively use it, so I treat these services as just 1-month content passes.
Slightly more effort required, but I think if the prices go up much more, I’m just going to start rotating subscriptions.

Well, one answer could be: if we as a society look at this and decide that it does more harm than good, why allow it at all? There are many other forms of entertainment available, so what is lost by eliminating this easy-to-abuse choice?

It's similar to the reasons we chose to eliminate certain classes of drugs. They cause significantly more harm than good, so what is lost by limiting the ability to produce and sell them is less important. Of course, there are often problems with the way such bans are enforced (the disastrous effects of the war on drugs, or prohibition before it, are hard to overstate). But that doesn't mean that there aren't workable ways to regulate such things without being so vicious to the victims (as can be seen in the much more successful bans on the sale of many other substances, such as non-addictive prescription medications or weapons-grade chemicals).

Since the NTP client is usually just drifting towards the server time with clock skew maybe this would only manifest as doing this process a little slower. If latency was even a problem in the first place.
There’s nothing to argue. The "World Wide Web" or "Web" is defined as servers and clients communicating using the HTTP protocol. (Usually, it means that content is using HTML but this is not mandatory).

"Gemini" is defined as servers and client communicating using the "Gemini" protocol (and content is usually in the gemtext format).

Both are part of the Internet, which is defined as an INTERconnection of NETworks, thus a physical worldwide network of computers. Any computer with a public IP (Internet Address) is thus part of the Internet (in your house, is usually your box which is part of the Internet and acting as a gateway for your computer).

So : Internet is mostly an hardware network. You then join different part of the Internet by running adhoc software: Web, Gemini, Gopher, Mail, FTP, Usenet, etc…

Those have very clear and crisp definitions, there absolutely nothing to argue about. A "Web Gemini client" means a browser capable of accessing both Gemini and the Web, which is not the case here. It is a "Gemini browser".

Thousands of people going to the hospital at the same time due to a preventable phenomenon certainly limits the freedom of lots of people to continue living when those hospitals are overrun and unable to provide care. We had already tried a few months of the "let everyone decide individually and hope for the best" approach and the problem kept worsening superlinearly.
No, there still are sync and async versions of functions. Zig just implicitly chooses which version to run and implicitly inserts await points. There's still a runtime and event loop if you use async. It's an async like in any language, but it relies on compiler magic instead of having locally explicit syntax.

Netflix is now the most likely service we are going to cancel. We get the most value from Disney Plus as a family, then Apple TV, Prime, and recently enjoyed a few things on Paramount plus.

We are probably going to start revolving services through the year, saving things to watch on each service rather than having them all concurrently.

No, not really. The body of text GPT is trained on gets its own interpretation of 'but' and 'therefore'. If you feed it 'therefore' maybe it'll start writing legal documents. If you feed it 'but' maybe it'll just contradict itself, or express some triviality.

What you'd need for Matt and Trey style 'but' and 'therefore' is entire prompts being introduced in the background and switched out. Imagine thousands of words of prompt. 'but' means, fundamentally obstruct something about where your whole prompt is heading, like a screenwriter introducing a twist that must be resolved before the story can continue. 'therefore' means describe something that unfolds obviously as a result of all that's been introduced in the prompt.

These are not sentence-level issues, not output-level stuff. These are prompt level. More than that, they're prompt level with intentionality: you have to understand how a 'but' will fundamentally obstruct your prompt, how a 'therefore' will integrate both your original prompt and the obstruction.

Assume you have to coherently switch around your prompt introducing new fundamentals, and still have that make sense. It might get you rather formulaic results (but, Luke loses his mentor! therefore he must study and meditate and get to the final goal through his own transcendence!) but that just shows you it's working. That's how you get from a pile of arbitrary time-wasting, to a capital S Story.

From there on out, it's about which stories to tell, how far you can depart from the norms while still providing the intentionality and purpose, and what the purpose is :)

Same. I really struggle to see how they still justify that pricing, it’s almost double the price* of Disney+ where almost everything within reason is 4k as standard.

Sorry I didn't realize you are a pilot and answer was very generic. But here is "unrecoverable" scenarios:
- Accelerate beyond Va: need gentle control inputs will be required and it will take more time to recover;
- Invert the plane: unless it's aerobatic your oil will stop flowing and engine will die very fast;
- T-tails have problems with controls effectiveness that delay recovery.

> There is a reason why even landing at night requires a 90day currency...

With passengers. I don't like to fly at night in a single engine plane and I go months if not years between night (solo) landings. Granted I don't fly to unlighted runways, but in my experience landing at night on a lighted runway is not that harder than landing during the day.

> ... in a light aircraft will take more than about 1000 feet if properly executed. Perhaps in some aircraft as much as 2000 feet.

Many planes have been modified after the spin certification had been done. E.g. on my A36 I have tip tanks, radar, TN engine, anti-ice, ... I have no idea if it will recover from spin as expected or not. And I have no interest in testing it. I can tell you that I lose 500-600 feet in a stall. This gives me a hint that recovery from a spin might be more than 1000 feet.

History also definitely shows that nepotistic or race-centered systems really did not work out fine. In fact the malinged systems made by rich white people were nepotistic and race-centered.

What history does show us is that systems that reward effort, and not just someone's heritage are the ones that have led to best outcomes.
Don't legacy admissions often mean that their parents have donated significantly to the University?

In a sense wouldn't that just mean that those students are essentially paying a very high premium to attend there and subsidizing the education of all the other students?

I'm not against abolishing them but I do wonder if this will have any impact on alumni donations.
I went to a second-tier public school that never had legacy admissions. Is it really a big deal? Or is this largely symbolic? Do you see kids in your classes who are rich and visibly a level below everyone else intellectually or emotionally? (I did meet a few students who were born rich and enrolled in my second-tier university after failing out of first-tier universities, so that might be my exposure to the practice)
This seems like quite a stretch.

1. Daily protein intake for someone is directed by their body today, not what their body might be in the future nor what their body could be.

2. Daily protein intake isn't based on tiny hypertrophic optimizations even for athletes, so it's weird to double down that this would apply to average people.

Here's a morsel from your own study:

> However, even a 100 kg athlete can satisfy his/her daily protein requirements by consuming ~30 g of protein at each meal, which aligns with the per meal recommendations of 0.24–0.30 g/kg

0.24-0.30g/kg (0.11-0.14g/lb) is quite below 1.6g/kg (0.725g/lb).

Don't you have to bite the bullet here?
My (at the time) 9 year old daughter once bought $7,200 worth of dragon in game content on her Kindle Fire (before amazon had parental controls to stop this). The good new is that Amazon INSTANTLY refunded all of it as soon as I explained 9 year old daughter to their support team. I'm sure there's a game publisher that is still disappointed that their whale was more of a guppy.
They are quite different tools. k9s gives you an interactive environment that allows for discoverability and real-time inspection. It's not just for running commands, it's for visually navigating the entire state of the cluster. Personally I find it an invaluable learning tool; I can dig into all corners of the cluster with a few keystrokes and get instant feedback without memorizing the equivalent hundereds of kubectl commands.
You can upgrade each individual component, except that all the components are low volume bespoke, so you'd save more money upgrading all of them at once by buying a new laptop and selling your old one. In which case, you get a more integrated, lighter solution. And you can't upgrade the screen.

At the same time, we're getting rid of testing in admissions decisions.

So instead we're in an era of squishy, difficult-to-judge metrics... and of course, the places where one could stand out-- interesting stories on one's transcript or essay-- are increasingly being evaluated by AI.

As my grandfather said: "You can't get blood from a turnip."
Well I didn't really make a bold claim, I said "might", but presumably there is a reason why we teach kids basic mental maths before we teach them how to use a calculator.

Humans are different to an AI, but putting that aside, my intuition would be that if we never taught kids any mental maths, their concept/understanding of numbers would be fundamentally different to how it is if they learn that 9 x 9 = 81 (also look at how your fingers move - there is a relationship there!).

But who knows, AI is strange and there's lots of stuff that needs to be experimented with. I would think training an intuitive sense of numbers would have other fall-outs though. This is half the beauty of LLM's right? You show an LLM some history books and it also learns about biology, politics, grammar, etymology and love. You teach a LLM maths and it also learns ... ?
I'm amused by the fact that both of us came across this Wikipedia page and shared it on HN during the same period.
In ~1990, I was working on Xerox high volume printers that cost $100K-$1M each (AT&T bought fleets of them to print phone bills). They printed at 50-135 pages per minute on ordinary paper (not card stock). Many types of engineers worked on those printers, but I was always fascinated by the aerodynamics engineers working on the paper path, sometimes meters long, through the printer. Early prototypes of those machines would constantly have horrific paper jams because the aerodynamics weren't tuned well enough yet. Some of these jams did significant damage to internal parts.

Nowadays an informed choice is an illusion. We are all manipulated beyond belief in all kinds of decisions.

Tell people what design choices were taken to maximize profits, what specialists were consulted, what went on behind closed doors, what is the research and statistics on gambling and addiction and how they used it to waste people's lifes and drain their money.

Tell them that and see how your "business" is doing.

> It seems like some people want to figure out laws for everything

Mostly the things that are harmful to society. Turning children into gambling addicts seems like an easy target. Kids have no defenses against even unsophisticated manipulation and don't always know what's real money or just part of the game. I've seen adults unclear on that sometimes!

Choice is great, but it has to be a free choice. You can't have that when you're being manipulated and deceived. Forcing games that feature gambling with real money to be transparent about their odds would help.
