As a "cloud person", I just want to add a few things to the description of how clouds affect the climate (and why high clouds have a wamring effect).

All clouds are white, so they all reflect sunlight back into space (during the day), cooling the Earth.

All clouds are (almost) black in the infra-red, meaning the amount of energy they emit in the infra-red is determined by their temperature. Colder clouds emit less energy.

Almost all clouds are colder than the surface beneath them, which means they emit less infra-red energy to space than a clear day would. This reduces the amount of energy the Earth emits to space, so warming the climate.

High clouds are colder than low clouds, so have a stronger warming effect.

In summary:

Low clouds - Reflect sunlight (cooling), don't trap much infra-red (little warming)- Net: Cooling effect

High clouds - Reflect sunlight (cooling), trap lots of infra-red (stronger warming) - Net: Warming effect
For the most part it is! I contributed to this project last year or so. The goal was to make the ports as one file runnable equivalents and not get all enterprisey but you can see (mainly C#) that some people can't shake the habit. There was also a lot of "we need a framework for running the programs", "we need a framework for testing", and "we need a linting and style compliance" efforts.

If you don't know BASIC then you'll have a hard time following the spaghetti code that the original book has. Probably half of the BASIC programs from the original book are either actually broken, have bugs or don't work as intended. Of the people that contributed, they either included the bugs and bad logic, ported from someone else's port in another language (that included new bugs and kept the old ones) or wrote a different game entirely.

To create a truly verbatim port in as many lines as the original while fixing the original bugs (and making it readable) is quite time consuming.
To emphasize they are hypotheticals which I am offering with an unsure, questioning tone.
Because it isn't news. OpenTTD is 2 decade old project that is mostly recreating a 30 year old game.

If this was 13.0, that'd be one thing, but the top change in this is "Fix: Setting tree lines drawn incorrectly for RTL languages (#11070)"

The page you linked to is also minimally informative to anyone who doesn't already know what OpenTTD is.

Who is this post supposed to benefit?
> Sounds like you made all the right choices.

That's not what the blog post says at all. The author talked about a bunch of bad choices.

> You spent $200k on a degree which awarded you a job that allowed you (with some expected struggle) to pay it off.

That's not what happened. In short, here is the series of events, that happened over a number of years:

1. Graduated with a double major in economics and environmental studies, plus $150K debt

2. Got a job pulling weeds at the Chicago Botanic Gardens for $12/hour

3. Got a job as an economic researcher at Arity for $50K/year

4. Taught himself data science and machine learning

5. Got a job in data science for >$100K/year

It was only 5 that allowed him to pay off his student loan debt. The undergrad degree did not directly lead to a well-paying job.
At this rate, why not having the mining companies charge 30% of revenue for using their metals.
Edge is just where something is hosted. It has nothing to do with data consistency. User signup is a unique problem that any large site has. Some sites like HN also actually needs usernames which makes things more complicated. Owasp always recommend to add usernames to any login. It is such a naive approach. User names are garbage in most cases.
On the other hand, GPTs often produce buggy code, and script kiddies are a lot less likely to be able to debug AI-generated code than they are to be successful running another human's hand-written exploit.
Right. We'll see if he does, I hope it goes well.

This is the first major "name" to have set itself up in the FediVerse, after smaller outfits like (for examples) the Texas Observer and Bylines have been established there for some time. It does indicate which way the wind is now blowing; and they've done it the right way with a dedicated site under the BBC's own control.

I think that this is going to be a problem in the medium term, though, unless actual people at the BBC start getting accounts. It will end up as a slightly depressing node full of robots, which perception will then have to be overcome.
Yeah. This is all just basically me talking nonsense. I'm not educated enough and further discussions would only yield nonsense.

(But if you are curious, the idea is that space is divided into chunks. Crossing chunks or propogating EM/gravitational fields through a chunk causes a delay, which means the particle's inertial frame loses time. And even if particles are traveling at infinite speed inside a chunk, that delay causes an effective speed limit. That's the speed of light. Similarly, there could be other ideas that also "backport" the entire spacetime theory onto quantum.)
> The AI companies are going to wipe the floor with these litigants using copyright law as their towel because it’s basically impossible to argue that machine learning isn’t transformative use.

The overly aggressive tone of the article is weird from the get go, and it states these (legal) opinions as fact, and never backs them up. From what knowledge or experience does the author draws this from, or is it just the opinion of Generic VC Investor who has investments in affected companies?

The author does get one thing right - copyright law is about making copies. Training a model does copy material - it must, it’s how computers work - and the lawsuits allege those copies are unauthorised.

Well, people see professionally edited photos and want that. Apple provides that (to an extend). The thing is, it's near automatic software, which is different from a professionally edited photo, which I believe is still a manual process.

Macbooks have HDMI ports and solid keyboards.

I don't see ethernet ports making a comeback on thin laptops anytime soon though. They are handy for LAN parties, so bulky gaming laptops will keep shipping with them, but for everyone else it makes more sense to leave that functionality to a dock.

I'm rarely ever stuck behind a bike for longer than 30 seconds. I don't get frustrated and I don't need to restrain myself in order to be safe.

I've never had a cyclist yell at me.

You might be doing something wrong.

I've been in therapy since 2010. Those roles do, in fact, overlap more than YOU seem to think.

To imply this was a software bug is a pretty silly representation - the system was poorly engineered and didn't have proper contingencies for sensor disagreement. This is pretty clearly a design/engineering error with a software component.

Besides, the guy said "rarely ever matter" for a reason, not "explicitly never impact things"... Bit of a silly comment from you IMO
> As a person, I can read creative works and then synthesize something similar.

Sure, and you'll be sued for copyright infringement if it's too similar. If you've created something new that transforms the original sufficiently and doesn't impinge on the original artists ability to derive benefits from their work, as well as several other restrictions, then you're ok.

A mechanical transformation is an entirely different ballgame. Firstly you'd have to convince a judge that the machine was being creative. Given that the code can't do anything without being fed other people's works, you're then arguing that you're not appropriating other people's work just because you're doing it at scale. Machines using other's creativity (at scale) doesn't mean it has its own creativity. Machines are not human and human creativity isn't a fully understood phenomenon. It's a legal minefield.
You need to clear a lot of snow before you can stand on the ice that you're drilling in (You can't drill straight if your rig's sitting on snow, you need to dig until you hit solid ground, and in this case the ground is ice). That's the "boots on the ground" part. They were physically there to do the drilling (as opposed to giant automated core drillers such as DISC[1], which don't require "boots on the ground" so much as they just require one or more operators to oversee operation)

The ancient mud's from hauling up the ice cores, not from standing 3 kilometers deep in a giant hole.

Gentoo makes it pretty easy to add an "overlay" to get packages that someone makes, and if they get steam it becomes simple to import them into "mainstream".

As the hole gets deeper, the amount of time to bring up core sections and send the drill back down become significant. That combined with the previously mentioned short field season. Drilling more than a few hundred meters becomes very difficult logistically as well, especially in such a remote setting.

The problem is that every economic system ever proposes is predicated on a bunch of assumptions that do not necessarily hold true over time. So you end up with a model that may work for a while but that's not how science works. Science extracts facts from observations using the scientific method. Social constructs - and social sciences of which economy is a branch - effectively model people and people are emphatically not as predictable as lab equipment and substances.

So you will always end up with fiction dressed up in a scientific coat. It looks and talks like science but it really isn't. There are no testable hypothesis, there is a ton of politics and there will never be consensus.

I've noticed people who like the word "cannabis" take issue with it being called avoidance language. It's the same thing seen in vapes, different variations of alcohol, designer drugs, etc. In fact, vapes follow almost the same model as the "cannabis industry" and do quite a bit to dance around the fact it's a drug. Vape stores in particular will sell to 50mg salt nic as a new user. A weed store will sell you medical grade 80% THC hydro as a first time user. Drugs are drugs. If you use them responsibly you probably aren't smoking/drinking/injecting it to feel normal. The path to profitability is to create addicts. You do this by feeding them more of the addicting substance they they realize.

I'm not sure what you're on about but maybe you forgot to toke up before posting.
There's a common belief that you don't need math for ML or that you need a lot of math for ML. So let me clarify:

You don't need math to make a model perform well, but you do need math to know why your model is wrong.

The Thunderbird project is a good example of community-supported software.

By that, I mean that the project figured out how to raise funds directly from the community using it. This includes reporting on what they intend to do with the community as a whole, and where the money is being spent. The incentives between users and developers are aligned, and the project can be stewarded for the benefit of the community as a whole.

It is also a project large enough, visible enough, and used enough to pull that off.
I would side with this.

Recently was looking for same feature (multi-room audio) and ended up buying IKEA SYMFONISK (basically sonos) speakers, that function without an issue. Only extra step is going to Sonos app to merge them and Spotify picks them up as one device , no questions asked.
So technically it should be rather easy, no latency issues at all.
Suicide rate is around 4 times higher for men in Western societies, but suicide attempts by women are at least twice that of men. More lethal, messier suicide methods are more popular among men, and in my opinion, it's because women are socialised to be more considerate of those who will find their body.

Given the new 128-core AMD server parts are on-par with ARM in terms of power efficiency and capable of more raw compute, it may even grow a bit.

I think there's lots of room for ARM, Risc-V and x86_64 in the future. There's reasons to support any of them over the others. And given how well developer tool are getting support across them all, it may actually grow a lot. I think the down side is a lot of the secondary compute accelerators, such as what intel is pushing and what the various ARM and Risc-V implementations include in practice.

The further from a common core you get, the more complex porting or cross platform tooling gets. Even if for big gains in some parts. For example, working on personal/hobby projects in ARM boards that aren't RPi is sometimes an exercise in frustration, with no mainline support at all.

IMO bespoke containers using whatever python package manager makes sense for each project. Or make the leap to Nix(OS) and then still have to force every python project into compliance which can be very easy if the PyPy packages you need are already in the main Nix repo (nixpkgs) or very difficult if depends on a lot of uncommon packages, uses poetry, etc.

Since PEP 665 was rejected the Python ecosystem continues to lack a reasonable package manager and the lack of hashed based lock files prevents building on top of the current python project/package managers.

$0.09 for the GPU alone. Add power for mainboard, RAM, and fans, efficiency loss at the power supply, networking, etc. After that another flat 30% for HVAC, since all that "consumed" electricity got turned into heat and the heat has to go somewhere.

And when we are talking about low margins, a 5-10% difference in cost is very significant.
Given you'll want to activate a virtual environment for most Python projects, and projects live in directories.. I find myself constantly reaching for direnv. https://github.com/direnv/direnv/wiki/Python

echo "layout python\npip install --upgrade pip pip-tools setuptools wheel\npip-sync" > .envrc

When you CD into a given project, it'll activate the venv, upgrade to non-ancient versions of Pip/etc with support for latest PEPs (ie. `pyproject.toml` support on new Python 3.9 env), verify the latest pinned packages are present.. it's just too useful not to have.

direnv stdlib

This command (or this link https://direnv.net/man/direnv-stdlib.1.html) will print many useful functions that can be used in the `.envrc` shell script that is loaded when entering directories, ranging from many languages, to `dotenv` support, to `on_git_branch` for e.g. syncing deps when switching feature branches.

Check it out if you haven't.. I've been using it for more years than I can count and being able to CD from a PHP project to a Ruby project to a Python project with ease really helps with context switching.

Back in the days when TiVo was a thing, I built a MythTV box including all the troubleshooting of a capture card, X windows settings, getting a remote to work, etc. to the point where my non-tech spouse could use it like a set top box. It even looked like a set top box. This was when Netflix was DVD by mail.

The last Windows laptop I bought bricked itself in a week, the Amazon stick needed constant reboots, I don't care about side-loading apps/widgets/software on my devices - I want them to be like my refrigerator and just work. AppleTV devices are much better than others. Once you're in the Apple walled garden things are much easier on me as an end user. There are seamless transitions from device to device if I want, sharing between them is a breeze. Sure other platforms are "open" or might have more advanced features, but I don't want to waste my time doing tech support having the BeenThereDoneThat™ patch.

Edit to add: "open" usually just means you have countless versions of "standards" to try and get things to interoperate. I deal enough with that at work to be turned off from dealing with that at home when I just want to chill and consume whatever nonsense I'm into.
