Cool so now that you've informed climate scientists these facts about the Earth what changes do you foresee in the results? Or... or maybe at least some of the scientists actually know some of these things? Oh man, what happens if actually most or all of these so called climate scientists actually know about these things? That's going to be really embarrassing for you. If you asked a few of them and it turned out they do would you re-evaluate your position?

Very cool! I worked a bit on an animation story generator at a hackathon using Stability.ai’s API, but found it to be a bit meh on the video quality side. Three related questions: 1. What are you using to get the stock videos, like the coffee bean one in the demo? 2. Have you tried AI generated video/animation - any comments on that. I might have missed it if it is in the library already? 3. Do you have any plans for improving the video content quality, particularly around featuring humans/dialog?
This is missing the point.

Yes, people who would like to own but can't afford the upfront payment or are deemed too risky over a long time period have to rent from those with more capital - who turn a profit.
The Finnish Greens have only been explicitly pro-nuclear, or at least lukewarm toward nuclear as the least bad out of bad solutions, for a few years. This is to a large extent due to a shift of power from the old guard to a STEM-friendly faction inside the party. But less than ten years ago, in 2014, when the then government decided to give a preliminary permission to build another nuclear plant in Finland, the Greens left the coalition govt in protest, as they also did in 2002.

If that's the case then I expect you're well across the Dzhanibekov effect and the fact that the long term arc trajectory of (say) a spinning wingnut can be extremely predictable as its CoG follows the usual equations of motion while its short term tumblings are utterly unpredictable and chaotic.

The key point being that the corase climate model is pretty damn simple in terms of basic thermodynamics.

Heat from below (core), light from above (sun), energy absorbtion in the sea and land, energy transform to heat, heat radiation outwards, some heat entrapment by insulation.

Increased insulation ==> greater heat entrapment, etc.

To be sure the fine details of interplay within and between climatic cells are challenging .. but the long term arc of more and more energy being trapped leading to more heat, more storm energy etc is straighfrward enough that it was first done as a back of an envelope calculation more than a century ago.

If you're demanding an exact time table on what and where will reach what tempreture when .. then you'll be sorely disapointed.

Otherwise its a simple case of we're in the direct path of a massive fully laden train that is ever so slowly derailing.

Thank you for taking the time to write this out. Where I am, rising interest rates have at best slowed the rate at which prices were increasing and dried up the market. I felt like there were other factors that will keep housing prices high and supply low, and you laid them out in a very clear way.

Something to consider when you save your passwords in Google, you can "forget" and reset your Google account password and all your passwords are still there. Compare that to a proper password manager where if you forget the master password (assuming sufficient complexity) nobody is getting those passwords back ever. So Google has full access to your passwords whenever it feels like it.

As the other commenter said, there's zero risk giving a dodgy site a randomly generated password used only for that site, the randomly generated password gives them no information or pathway to any other web site.

Chill hours I thought were anything under 10 degrees (Celsius, of course), but I gather officially it's probably closer to 7 or 8 degrees. Sub-zero isn't necessary, in any case.

You're right that they've doubtless been selecting for quite a while at their site - and will therefore have varieties that are happy with chill hours for the region.

Though I'm surprised they get as cold as -3 given how far north, and how close to the coast (20km) they are.

Lismore - to their west, away from the coast - has an elevation of only ~10 metres. The township they're closer looks to be Wollongbar, and that's showing as ~160 metres elevation. I believe the soil around there is superb (volcanic, not depleted like 'average Australian farming land') which is probably a bigger factor.

I'm south of them by 4 degrees, same elevation, and have Much Optimism for my half dozen new blueberry plans ... once I get them out of pots. Shame that these Eurekas plants don't seem to be for sale.

EDIT: meant to add - some varieties that are popular here in AU - Sharpe Blue, Biloxi - have low chill hour requirements, around 300-400 say, BUT really don't like frosts, so it's quite the juggle.

Yeah I'm projecting there with that one. It's the same for me. My commiseration and sympathy to you.
Things must be really different in the US then.
The downpayment here is really not an amount that you can make any serious investment with. Even if I made it I could not afford to put it in high-risk/high reward investments and the low risks ones are not even worth the cost of blocking the money.

- I can still move freely for whatever reason i want. I simply sell the house and buy a new one.

- the cost of changing a kitchen once in 20 years in your example but even once in 10 years is insignificant and the fact that I choose it according to my needs instead of getting whatever I find more than make for the cost.

- I have no stress of needing to move (generally the more flexible rent agreements that allow you to move out whenever you want also come with the risk of getting kicked out or rent changing significantly)

But again all comes down to the difference of rent vs mortgage and here in Europe for most people the difference does not make sense. let's talk specifics.
Let's say rent is 700eur/Month and mortgage is 800Eur/Month. the difference is less than you would spend for frivolous, spur of the moment things.

From what I've been able to find, the cheapest food is among the healthiest in the US too. There's just also a lot of healthy food with a 10x markup because it has fancy packaging, but you don't need to buy that.

Yep!

I have a 2018 Macbook Pro and a pretty interesting/fun/skeletal eGPU setup made out of a Thunderbolt-to-M.2 adapter (intended for SSDs), M.2-to-PCIe adapter for the card, and a fanless 600W ATX power supply. I use it with an AMD 5700 XT and 6800 XT. Hooked up to a 55” LG OLED TV. It’s been very fun to operate.

It Just Works to a degree, and takes some tinkering as well. Quite a bit of tinkering actually.

The dedicated cards make windowing around in macOS snappier and smoother. It’s noticeable everywhere. IntelliJ is way, way snappier (it has Metal-based GPU acceleration these days.) The 6800 XT is noticeably smoother and faster than the 5700 XT.

For me, the responsiveness is worth it working as a programmer. 100%. Caveat: I enjoy the tinkering. Bought the setup to learn things and mess around.

Also, it’s a bit unstable. The GPU driver will lock up from time to time; I think it’s power supply fluctuations in my setup having a bad effect on a card running super tight video timing to push 4K 120Hz over a DisplayPort-to-HDMI-2.1 adapter. The wall power circuit breaker has too many devices on it (my fault). What happens is that the GPU or GPU driver sometimes locks up and the card becomes unresponsive and I can’t “safely remove” the device from the macOS menubar thing. When I unplug it, the Macbook Pro hard-poweroffs with a PFFFFT-gasp from its fans. It’s pretty clearly a systemic weakness. Might even be unfixable at the motherboard chipset level given how brutal the hard-poweroff is. –I’m not that surprised that they dropped support for eGPUs, given that adding support in their ARM M-series CPU platform would have needed some different core design decisions.

Playstation 3 emulation runs great, in macOS.

That said, if you’re biologically wired to be sensitive to responsive and smooth GUIs
everywhere, then a fast GPU works really well with macOS. What you really want if you’re like this is not an eGPU but an M2 pro or better with HDMI 2.1 output and an LG OLED TV. This gives you 4K at 120Hz, HDR, variable refresh rate, and super low output latency. Full viewing angle too. It’s magical.
This is about a single business, that didn't get its investors a profitable outcome? A lot of people would consider getting paid for years to work on something you're passionate about a pretty good way to spend 4 years, let alone with enough saved to go travelling and blow off steam.

My old business was a pretty good way to spent 16 years. No investors, no goals, good pay, a perfect environment to stew in and sideline more personal failings.

That's what I want to read about - how am I going to fuck up the next business or relationship for the exact same reasons? Can I still do anything about that?
Yeah, it turns out you need to put something on the line to have a huge reward.

To me, home equity is a game changer for this discussion. the ability to open a HELOC and have access to a massive amount of capital is a gateway to real wealth thru various investment vehicles - not the least of which is investing in further real estate.. which will accumulate more equity itself etc..

Why stop at meat and dairy. Why not go all the way, select handful of optimal foods and only allow those to be sold or grown. Anyone doing anything else would heavily punished?

After all, if we ban beef. We have accepted that taste has no meaning in life and we can just ban everything not mandatory like spices and herbs.
To be honest the way I read it the funding on this sounds like it is mostly about material science. I think this is well spent money as it expands the possibilities of what we can do beyond the intended target application of electrocaloric heat pumps.

A big fraction of what we do better today than say, 4 decades ago, is due to improvements in material science, not because we are more intelligent or better planers (although, some of the software aided planning that happens on big projects nowadays would not have been possible back then).
pardon my ingorance but i cannot quite see how cooling individual machines vs. the hole rack or row makes a difference in total heat production per machine
In the USA there’s a fee for refinancing as well, but it is usually a fraction of the loan principle and it is often rolled into the loan - so at the end of the day, the net effect is a lower monthly payment for the homeowner and that’s all they really care about.

While vaccuming might not have an effect in getting marination faster into the meat, I think it has quite an effect in getting the marinade efficiently onto the meat, as it does have the effect of distributing it nicely over the surface of the meat. Especially if you have like with ribs a very uneven surface. Which of course means that the marination happens well controlled.

Air pressure can have effects on chemical processes, at least when some kind of phase transition may occur between liquid and gaseous phases. I don't think that's happening here, but the vacuum could have some negligible effect on, say, drying out the meat (evaporation is faster at lower pressures)
> Wouldn't that also increase rates, since you need to hire more laborers, which means the demand for labor increases

Only if farm work is such a large proportion of the market for unskilled labor that it would move the entire market, which it isn't. And even if it was, paying more would raise costs which would cause marginal farms to fail and lower labor demand again.

> Another possibility, is lower peoples' rates to $24.80—40 hours at $24.80/hr + 30 hours at overtime = $2108, so the same as they were being paid before.

Those people don't want to work for $24.80/hour instead of $30 for most of the year just to be able to get overtime during harvest season. You might offer to pay them less during that time for the same kind of work, but this is the sort of thing the government sometimes gets mad at you for, because then you're transparently thwarting their inefficient price controls.

And you have to ask what's the point of the law if the best case scenario is that you can find a way to cause the rule to have no effect.
I find that idea fascinating but I doubt it will fly.

Todays LLMs are no suitable replacement for documentation, in my experience, because their knowledge is so sparse. You will not notice it immediately because they fill the gaps with plausible nonsense.
Also training a model with domain specific knowledge is not a realistic option for most of us as of today.

For having all the reference documentation locally (possibly indexed in a vector database and accessible to the LLM) I'm doubtful as well, since it is so hard to determine scope beforehand.
A couple of years ago I tried to program off-grid and prepared a MacBook with Dash (an OSX offline doc reader) and all the reference docs I thought I need. It was a nightmare, and that is from a dude who learned programming before the Internet, based on offline docs solely.
> As long as a country is governed by rule of law, the only form of justice that should have any standing is legal justice.

I don't disagree, but by this standard i don't know any country that is governed by rule of law. France and USA are very famous for high-profile corruption and criminal cases in which politicians/cops/CEOs are either not found guilty (of proven crimes) or somehow never end up in jail despite being convicted (such as in the Balkany case).

As the cynical saying goes, make one crime for a million dollars, end up in jail. Setup a corporation that does thousands of crimes for billions of dollars, get rich.
