We need to get generation to carbon neutral within ~10 years. Nuclear can't do it on that timeframe, and conservation can't reduce to 0.

OTOH, wind and solar can reduce emissions by 70% and save money over the long term while doing so. Wind + solar + short term storage can reduce emissions by 99% and save money over the long term while doing so.

Getting from 99% to 100% will be hard and will require likely either long term storage or carbon capture, which will be expensive. But don't let that get in the way of getting to 99%.

I can see why someone would feel this is an indoctrination they don’t want to participate in:

“Persons are either anti-racist or racist. Persons that say they are ‘not a racist’ are in denial of the inequities and racial problems that exist.”

Colorblindness “de-emphasizes, or ignores, race and ethnicity, a large part of one’s identity and lived experience.” A suggested synonym is “color-evasiveness”

“merit is embedded in the ideology of Whiteness and upholds race-based structural inequality.”

We need to rapidly increase spending on low-carbon infrastructure, remove permitting delays on building new power systems, and add carbon taxes. We also need to get serious about emergency solutions like solar radiation management, because it looks increasingly likely we'll need them to stave off total disaster.

There are still technical arrows in our quiver that could save us, but none of them matter if major political parties decide to prevent us from using them. So the real answer is: vote.

Oh, the Vatican is involved! Of course they are, foolish me for not expecting it. No doubt the Knights Templar are somehow mixed up with this as well. It all seems very diabolical; tell me more, Abulafia.

While they are the largest in CA, there are 100 home insurance companies operating in California. Also the excuse of wildfire doesn’t make much sense. They also cite high building costs, but policies are priced on how much insurance people buy, so that doesn’t make much sense either. Also, State Farm is renewing, just no new policies.

Maybe it's not the same but I daydream quite deeply when I'm doing things that have no verbal component. So like when I'm driving, I'll start planning stuff out and coming up with ideas (often quite visually, too) then "snap" back and think.. I don't remember any of the actual driving. It's common enough to have a name though – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highway_hypnosis – and I haven't had any accidents. Curiously, putting on talk radio or podcasts helps as it prevents the daydreaming.
I would even bet if it happened on an SNL today, it would have been met with applause.

The browser instance knows it is being driven by an automation agent. If you so wanted, you can actually comment out the code that does that in the browser's code but since this new setup will enable the page to check if you compiled your own browser, they'll be able to incorporate the "isUnderAutomation" flag under the attestation data and that's sealed because you can't build your own browser and have it attest.

The strikes right now are over writers and smaller actors who earn no residuals and are basically paid below minimum wage. Not over actors making 50M.

Additionally, the strikes are also about production companies wanting to use ideas and images in perpetuity via AI without paying the original artists.

Disable autofocus when using a device (mobile?) on which it is problematic? I'm no expert though. Maybe that isn't possible or is more undesirable for some other reason.

We've focused on designing a data schema that is easy for developers to quickly understand and use in building map products.

https://docs.overturemaps.org/

OSM focuses on open map editing, but due to it's flexible schema, it can be hard to extract needed information from OSM.

Overture seems to focus on providing map data (from multiple sources) that can be used more easily.

EDIT: OSM is also trying to improve the OSM data model for easier processing. https://github.com/osmlab/osm-data-model
> The objects captured from fighter jet IR cameras discussed in the past have also had explanation of lens flares and focal aberrations

One is a potential flare/focal aberration. The other two have no such explanation, and one of the three has radar tracking, followed by pilot interaction (David Fravor), then was videod by a second pilot on encounter (the video that was released.

Keep in mind also that all three are very low quality versions of the originals.
I agree, likely no need for generation ships.

Another point I like to make is that the craft we observe, assuming we do, definitely do not need to be the actual interstellar craft, why would they be. We wouldn’t do
it like that, why would they. Instead they could be local probes dispatched from another craft, or even local probes manufactured by the master probe.

Lastly, let’s assume we see mach 50
speeds on the craft, that’s still not a significant fraction of the speed of light.

""Suffering" is a nonsense word. It can't be measured or detected."

They think the real experiment will show what they concluded within some tolerance. They just don’t want to put in the time and effort to do it. they want to publish their hunch with fake data first to get the glory.

For example, US census agency person for a county can just make up numbers based on his understanding of the place without actually doing a full survey. He believes that even if they check, it will be within reasonable tolerance and the final results will be similar. So he just sits at home keep making up numbers year after year. Until someday USPS opens a postoffice based on the numbers and get no customers causing a full investigation.
Kareem's article does not say much about Bruce Lee the man, the martial artist, the actor, the philosopher, apart from the usual mundane observations. Frankly, it is a rather disappointing article.

Much more about Bruce Lee and the California martial arts scene of those years can be learned by reading the brilliant short book (which I have gifted several times to friends and family), "Zen in the Martial Arts," written by journalist Joe Hyams, himself a student of Bruce Lee and a practitioner of a number of martial arts in the 1960s and 1970s.
To be precise, the writers earn many multiples of the minimum wage.

I agree the low-tier actors are paid at subsistence (or less).

This is fine. As long as there's legal protections which let him dictate how his likeness will be used, and his estate can hold the studios accountable to it.

The studios of course, don't want to have to get this kind of permission, and that's the rub.
They might not be able to prevent AI actors in the future. But they might be able to negotiate a deal that keeps current actors out of poverty.

You may think "critically" a great deal, but it's clear to me you don't know how to do it well, as source selection is a substantial part of successful analysis.

For example, you believe "whole life experience" is something worth noting, as if you have no clue whatsoever about how bad humans are at self evaluation.

Why wouldn't you know about that? What kind of "critical thinker" goes through life fully unaware of the impact that bias has on their ability to think critically?

A bad critical thinker wouldn't understand this concept.

A bad critical thinker would also not understand the value of avoiding sources from organizations misaligned to their incentives, because they'd know how powerful bad arguments can be, and their inherent limitations at recognizing them as a result of said bias.

I don't know you. But I do know how you've behaved in this conversation, and if you think this conversation is representative of your method of evaluating ideas and arguments, then yeah I would consider your critical thinking skills to be limited, regardless of how much you engage them.

You will not see that. Washington state enacted a mild carbon emissions tax as of Jan 1 that has caused gas prices in the state to go up to the highest in the country, as well as price increases in everything else.

Which is exactly what it was supposed to do, to get people to consume less. However, a significant proportion of Washington residents are clamoring for their leaders to now reduce the carbon tax.

Everybody is “green” until sacrifices get put on the table.
It's kind of like "agile", "big data" or "AI" for tech managers.

While actual finance people use algo trading all the time (meaning technical analysis using secret algorithms), naîve technical analysis is mostly a sales or influencing tool. (Unless the "finance bro" is truely deluded)

The same goes for tech managers. While some actually create agile teams using big data to create useful AI, plenty more just use the terms to inflate their own careers.
The point of ethanol in gasoline is to replace roughly 15% of the oil we consume with not-oil that we make here (because 30% of our entire imports were saudi oil for decades) for energy independence, to have another way to subsidize people in Iowa, and to replace MTBE as an octane booster because it kept leaching out of ground storage tanks and poisoning innocent people. Ethanol pisses a lot of people off for various reasons but it's an extremely safe octane booster compared to our previous substances, keeps american energy less dependent on a war mongering desert country, and is yet another way to funnel tax dollars to a few big corn conglomerates.

Even if the only thing ethanol in gasoline did was increase octane, it's such a big improvement in safety compared to MTBE that it would still be a success. If you think early 2000s america gave a fuck about carbon emissions when the current administration was literally an oil baron, IDK what to tell you.

I’m not sure how you can say the Ukraine invasion has zero bearing on the “NASA…having no access to space”. Given starliner is a dumpster fire and NASA would not be able to reliably count on Soyuz for access to ISS, it was a remarkably prescient statement. Even if Russia hadn’t invaded in 2020 it was obvious that NASA having its own capability to get to ISS was a strategic priority, that was only achieved by SpaceX.
This gives me hope! I was reading some of Dianna Kennedy's ("The Julia Child of Mexico") books and she goes into some detail of the loss of heirloom varieties of different crops in Mexico due to cheap imports. The peppers were especially affected; the local Mexican industry was inundated by imports from China, which were often not even the pepper which it was advertised to be. This had a severe impact on the local pepper production, many of which depended on local microclimates for cultivation and are not available outside that particular region of Mexico.

Well, not if you ultimately tie something like WEI to hardware attestation. Then fraudsters would have to buy additional devices, which is not a complete deterrent [1], but would change the economics significantly.

But many here are (in my view rightly) arguing that this would be too high a price to pay for bot/spam protection, since it would almost inevitably cement the browser, OS, and device monoculture even further.

This really isn't a new idea as this is how most legumes get their nitrogen. It is new to find it naturally in corn (a grass) but the idea of moving this from legumes to grasses has long been a dream.

The video of the natural form of this showed what appeared to be some very wet slime that was fully exposed to the open air. I'm guessing extra water requirements to keep this mass wet for the bacteria would be prohibitive at modern farming scales.
You're using scare quotes, but I do specifically mean corporate control. Current TPMs were designed around giving centralized parties (eg corporations) privileged keys. TPMs could certainly be designed to not have any baked in privileged keys, instead putting the owner at the trust root. The current crop just wasn't.

Also that you're talking about anti virus shows that you're not really in touch with the gamut of computing. From my perspective, anti virus was something that was relevant two decades ago.
Sort of. IIRC (which may be unlikely) Auto1111 has the base model in the text to image plane, but if you want to use the refiner that is a separate IMG2IMG step/tab. Which would be a pain in the ass imo.

The "Comfy" tool is node based and you can string both together which is nice. Although if you aren't confident in your images you don't need the refiner for a bit.
If McDonald's required 12 year-olds to use an ordering app because their banknotes might be stolen, would that be a reasonable compromise? Foreclosing the possibility of children not being tracked (which is illegal, btw) in exchange for some marginal benefit for big tech?
Sulfur injection may be technically easy, and who knows: it might even work. But it won't happen as long as large parts of our society debate whether climate change is serious. This kind of geoengineering requires a level of political consensus and commitment that we don't have (and that has been actively been thwarted by political parties and emitting industries.)
we are currently under a right wing government whose media friends smeared their only real opposition as... a dangerous communist who would destroy the country. their main opposition now are copying more and more of their policies.

I'm a little doubtful piracy is the main driving force there, until digital music became common.

They charged more for CDs, and they became cheaper to make than tapes, so naturally revenue went up.

Music videos, and a few super successful pop stars, greatly increased interest in pop music for a period, but that tapered off.
It depends greatly on your UI and the size you are generating. There is no hard answer.
Very well put, I will remember your words.

Sometimes I go for a while without reading any books and I can feel the difference in myself. Yet, I spend almost all my waking life reading text. I think the difference is that this is all just information.

There is profound loneliness in only reading information, I compare it to the flattening of human interaction to zoom calls in the pandemic. Practical, but qualitatively worse.

The culture that produced the novel as its primary information artifact is gone forever, tragic that our cultures artifacts do reach its heights.

Which is why I'm not optimistic about being able to stop catastrophic climate change at this point. The vast majority of people aren't willing to make the sacrifices required - in fact many of them sneer at the whole idea of making sacrifices. The hyper-individualism in the US and elsewhere doesn't allow us to think about changing our behavior for the greater good.
