Iirc the research regarding what kind of emotion evoking news gets most attention shows it's mainly awe and anger. Sadness doesn't get you very far, so there's a direct incentive to not report on any collapse related stuff we can't really do anything about anymore, since it won't get shared at all.

Could spin it as an angry piece condemning the fossil fuel lobby, but that probably gets you cut off the next time there's a burning oil rig to report on.
how can the food supply NOT collapse in the next ten years?

I don't think anyone will like this answer but you asked and I think it's an interesting set of problems to tackle.

Assuming all else remains the same or worsens, countries could start mass freeze drying everything they have as just one of the steps required to break free from the just-in-time food delivery from massive mono-crops and massive farms full of unhappy animals. It costs a lot, takes a lot of time and power but food that costs 8x more is better than no food or food that inflation drives to 400x the current price especially if food trade routes are cut off and grains start rotting in silos. This could also be crowd sourced much like solar power in that every circle of friends could chip in to buy a couple freeze dryers and a bunch of water storage tanks and containers. Probably not everyone but a number of people could also start building greenhouses and people with enough land could start raising animals to break their families dependency on the just-in-time logistics networks for food shipment. This would include collecting and freezing heirloom seeds. Some communities may be able to share some land to contribute as a collective to fields, greenhouses and animals but this will not work everywhere. People could sell their excess resources at the local farmers market or just trade/barter within small communities and small regional community forums.

There are videos online for how to build greenhouses, manage natural forms of heating and cooling, building raised plant beds, irrigation, recycling water through hydroponics, grow lights, using compost to create heat, etc... Water storage should also be researched by everyone. It's not as simple as throw it in a large tank. There are techniques to keep the water drinkable for long periods of time. Some groups of people already do all these things such as the LDS church and emergency preparedness groups.

It would take a significant number of people doing all or most of these things to make a dent in the problems but I could envision government incentive programs and tax rebates assuming lobbyists stay out of the way. With time each state and region that can support growing their own food sources may need to transition away from global trade looking to regional neighbors for help instead.
Ivermectin has legitimate uses for humans and other animals for various invertebrate parasites (mites, lice, and worms); it is in fact prescribed to humans for those parasites. There is only in vitro evidence for it being effective against the virus causing COVID-19; if there is in vivo evidence for it being effective against that or any other viral invection, I'd love to see it.

Austrália has the largest rooftop solar installation in the world and our fixed feed in prices are 100% a subsidy. We have the ability to price energy in half hour intervals for almost every installation in some parts of the country and are on the way to 5 minute intervals.

If it weren’t for the subsidised price and general resistance of consumers to spot pricing we would have someone offering a service offering supply management by rooftop solar installations to increase the spot price, fewer green energy certs being sold, and way fewer installs. We would also see increased battery storage.

In the very long term we would expect electricity generation to become slightly more expensive than free.

People with solar talk a big game but the vast majority of them are thinking about their pocket and just hate our energy industry.

The fact is that if anyone other than a highly niche purely spot pricing business offered a truly fair price for solar the market regulators would be overruled by the government because of the political optics.

And it’s a subsidy that is paid by those who do not have solar.

I just don’t think your comment applies at all here. Perhaps there are other markets and societies but it’s not us. And we have the most rooftop solar per capita on earth.
Not that kind of person or attack. What in your mind separates mocking someone’s speech impediment with mocking a website’s font?

A website isn’t literally a person, but what’s being attacked is the thing making the argument. It kind of break down because this isn’t directly equivalent to two people debating before the Roman senate, but western philosophy really didn’t care much about such superficial differences.

I can’t think of the phrase but there is the platonic ideal of an argument and individual who voiced it. Something about after an argument has been spoken it, as in the argument, needs to be addressed directly not the person who said it.

PS: Similar idea in a different context don’t judge a book by its cover. Not directly relevant, but I find it fascinating how often the idea of superficial as unimportant is used while people focus on it so much. Sort of a humanity has changed less than you might think in the last several thousand years kind of thing.

It's worth it if you spend thousands a month. I run assorted personal projects in AWS and pay $80/month. Another $40/month looks like a lot to me.

But I think the point is more that it's outrageous compared to the marginal costs.
I think you have developer mode confused with the firmware write-protect switch. As far as I'm aware, every Chromebook has allowed enabling developer mode without opening the device. Disabling the firmware write-protect (which does let you disable the ctrl-d requirement, and is what you need to do to install the UEFI firmware this guide refers to) used to require opening the device (to either remove a screw or flip a switch), but can now be done over CCD (closed case debugging) using the appropriate cable, as well as by opening the device.

In practice, this is rarely a problem. The civically inactive tend to congregate; communities with a strong civic sense, on the other hand, understand why organization is important.

I think keeping the art as it was produced is important but there is also a good history of modifying art to produce new art too. In the digital age, we aren’t losing the original art so it seems even stranger to be against modification of the “original.”

However, just applying a simple filter (or single transform without effort) definitely feels derivative to me.
Same regarding percentage. But anecdote: just drove 135mi from my home to bend Oregon. Left at 90% soc, and arrived at 34%.

I too have used Kivy, using Buildozer for Android builds. One day I did something trivial like change the color of a button. The otherwise untouched project suddenly refused to build for random obscure Buildozer-related reasons I quickly lost the patience to figure out. Imagine if it was a security vulnerability I was trying to quickly patch. What's more, I think even rebuilding with the untouched source also failed now in the same way. And that's how I lost interest in pursuing Kivy further.

More likely, the money from the expensive green-washing ads they buy is cut off.

Could you expand on this a bit? Specifically, what is the "estimated covariance", and what is added to it?

It needs a Babashka equivalent.
I'll add: the "getting started" collection of pages where I found that "install kivy" monstrosity then goes on to an "A first app" page, which...doesn't walk you through building your first app. Instead, it links to a page in a different collection of pages. And that page describes how to build a Pong app (too complex to be a "build my first app" -- there's a reason to start with "Hello World")...except it doesn't, it says that it assumes you already know how to create a Kivy application, and refers you to another page if you don't. And that page does "Hello World, but poorly.

Yeah it's cool tech but I really don't appreciate how it is just straight up deceitful and spreading misinformation. A lot of hues are underdetermined and the result is more or less arbitrary in a historical context. If one were to research and fine-tune the model such that ambiguous shades are historically accurate I would be less annoyed by the sense that these images are just spreading misinformation. Compare this with Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky's photos of the Russian Empire or autochromes of Paris in 1910 which are actual windows into a lost world.

That's a devilish bit of advocacy, one that I couldn't argue until I remembered exactly what I was replying to. The commenter I replied to was pondering the "societal good" of replacing humans with digitized versions of those same humans.

I don't believe your calculator example was written as a way to compare "societal good" as much as it was written to be an example of a tool that replaces a human.

To answer your question, I don't feel the same when using a calculator. When I use a calculator I'm not putting someone out of a job. If I don't have a calculator, I don't go hire a human computer - I just use different tools (my brain).

That's not the say calculators, or similar, haven't put people out of jobs in the past.

I think digitizing someone's likeness so that you don't need to hire them again is a different thing entirely. When talking about that in the context of "societal good", replacing an entire segment of jobs that humans can get paid for (so that studios can keep a few bucks) doesn't seem like it increases "societal good", and actually decreases "societal good."

Maybe that could have been said about calculators ages ago, and maybe 20 years from now the notion of hiring extras will feel a lot like replacing human computers with electronic calculators.

I think the component that prevents that packet from crossing from WAN to LAN is, precisely, the NAT. Or more specifically, that no dynamic NAT mapping has been established previosuly, from an outbound transmission from 192.168.1.2 towards the remote source of the packet.

Given how NAT works, if there hadn't been any outbound connection, there is no mapping of transport addresses in the NAT table, and thus an incoming packet is rejected. The firewall would be _behind_ the NAT, on the internal side, applying _additional_ rules to packets that did match some of the NAT mapping rules and were able to cross that boundary.

So to all effects, if the NAT discards an incoming packet, the firewall doesn't even get to process it.

Which is not to say that some vendors confuse this distinction, and call "firewall" to the NAT behavior.

That still requires you to know about its existence.

It's perfectly possible to write F# code without those and messing up units conversion.
First we added a bitmask to mark rows as deleted - these rows are filtered out on read. Then updates are implemented as deletions + inserts. We have also added vacuum functions to remove/rewrite stripes that have >20% of deleted rows in order to reclaim space and optimize those stripes.
Quite true. It's great to have a 3D representation of what you want, however.

Gotta say, tools like these or NeRF will only revolutionise 3D modelling if they ever get topology right. That's the hard part.
> And bonds require, at minimum, two electrons shared between the two atoms. That's why H2 is pretty stable compared to monatomic H1. You'd have to rip up and throw out hundreds of years of chemistry for H4 to be possible.

Actually, all you have to do is catch up with (checks Wikipedia) 100-year old research. Molecular orbital theory is needed to understand three-center two-electron bonds, and that dates back to the 1920s. However, the concept of "a bond is an electron pair" only predates that discovery by about a decade. It actually turns out that H₃⁺, the classic example of the three-center two-electron bond, predates both of those discoveries.

It's also worth noting that chemistry itself as a recognizable field only dates back to maybe the 1760s, and things like bond structure only really start to be worked on in the mid-19th century, with most of our modern understanding dating from various parts in the 20th century. So that's hardly "hundreds of years of chemistry" that would need to be ripped up and thrown out.

Let me guess, you never took any chemistry classes past gen chem in college? Molecular orbital theory and two-center three-electron bonds is bog standard organic chemistry (might even be first semester orgo, I'm not sure).
A lot of the comments here are focusing on Tesla defaulting to the EPA range, and that there are a lot of factors involved. This isn't the whole story. From the linked lawsuit text:

> Tesla developed algorithms for estimating the range of its electric vehicles, which would display to drivers “rosy” projections for the distance the vehicle could travel on a full battery. However, once the battery reached 50% capacity, the algorithm would change and begin showing the driver more realistic projections. This would cause the estimated range of the vehicle to fluctuate drastically from that point.

According to the lawsuit, this was something Musk asked for:

> The decision to include these algorithms to present inflated range estimates came directly from Tesla’s chief executive officer, Elon Musk. As the Reuters report indicates, “Elon [and Tesla] wanted to show good range numbers when fully charged....When you buy a car off the lot seeing 350-mile, 400-mile range, it makes you feel good."

Hard coding a range algorithm to make new customers "feel good" is pretty on brand for Elon. When coupled with the establishment of a dedicated "Diversion Team" to cancel service appointments from complaining customers (because they already knew nothing could be "fixed"), this is all pretty scummy and lends legitimacy to the lawsuit IMO.
damn, imagine if the buddies of the company that owns all of these IPs operated that system. The entire internet would be in their control. Wild dream.

> to try to get Tesla to also accept responsibility and bring prices up

If Tesla actually believed that their self-driving works (which they unequivocally and demonstrably don't, as their refusal to accept liability indicates), then it would cost them virtually nothing to accept liability.

Every company that offers self-driving should accept liability to prove that they have faith in their system, and we shouldn't allow any self-driving system on the road for which this isn't the case.
I'd be curious to hear about lessons learned from your experience, if you ever were to write a blog type post of your experiences.
> while also being the subject of bioweapon research?

It can, Anthrax is a classic example, occurring naturally, the bio weapons part of the military will want to know how to make it more potent, in case "the enemy" develops the same or similar potent strain of bio weapon. Thats the justification part for this development which is probably labelled as "proof of concept" in much the same way a variety of drugs will be tested against a variety of bacteria or virus for medical research, in case its found in the wild.

Man has been selectively breeding stuff for hundreds of years, animals like pedigree dogs, cats, livestock, plants, why wouldn't the military of any country despite international agreements find ways to get around those agreements.

Just look at the US nuclear stockpile, the US didn't proliferate new weapons, they merely upgraded the existing nukes and upgrading wasn't in any agreement.

And if we were to have a perfectly encapsulated bubble of safety, how much would the population levels increase by more than we currently see with todays accidents?

Survival of the fittest has evolved to include modern day living.

When thinking about the ever lasting lightbulb, if man stopped developing light bulbs of sorts, would we have got to have created the led light bulb as quickly?

So conspiracy theories do exist, because we hear them, but they serve many purposes in society, they can smooth over events, they can be educational, they can be used to draw certain types of people out into the open who arguably have health complaints or a drug problem of sorts, which could be worded as a chemical imbalance.

Take covid, it funnelled money into drug companies, AI's were developed to speed up the making of vaccines which have now started to apply to other viruses, at the same time, the planet was given a rest from our daily activities, insect numbers started to rise, police were able to catch up with criminals that they have been trying to track down for ages, in fact the excuses for catching a lot of criminals was one of the covid successes that hasnt been discussed much, we all got forced into working remotely to get used to not having to commute, bosses and managers had to deal with that loss of instant dictatorship and fire fighting and start to plan more. There's a whole host of reasons for covid to have been released on this planet which is why I say it was a biological weapon if it wasn't people having panic attacks and a sudden rise of pseudomonas in the lungs like cystic fibrosis sufferers experience due to a sudden influx of iron in their diet, perhaps caused by eating more meat and thus iron during lockdown.

So CT's do exist, but what is its purpose is probably a better question to ask.
Lyme's incubation is long and impact on infected people uncertain, which makes it useless as a bioweapon. The sciencedirect article effectively dismantles the innuendo about Lyme as a bioweapon.
Archivists do indeed have goals. Those goals are varied and change over time. But the bulk of material archived from the early modern period was archived for goals entirely separate from the preservation of beauty. It is an error to say that there is a simple misunderstanding of the nature of old books because those that are in the archive are very disproportionately beautiful.
It's in stock. You can't afford it though unless we're being charitable by assuming you're richer than the whales that such an economic practice being pervasive creates.
I don't think there has ever been a time in all of human history with so many existential threats.

Between catastrophic climate change and resource depletion, AI, the danger of nuclear war, COVID and other potential pandemics, economic insecurity for most of the population, and farmed irrational extremist political movements, we seem to have quite a lot to deal with.

> The "algorithm" is that I read your comment and saw that it was obviously breaking the rules. I wish I knew how to write software to do that correctly, but I don't.

Got it. Maybe I will give it a shot and share it. I'm not sure which types of bots you're already using but there's ways to orchestrate consensus networks on opinion dynamics to derive a "threat" level (or whatever metric name you want to call it). And that could be used to do things like auto-cut tickets to inspect threads for guideline violations.

IMO, there was a misunderstanding about the term "you": there is an individual "you" and a collective "you".

> Re other commenters: everyone always feels like the mods are singling them out personally and treating the other side with kid gloves

I don't feel like I'm being singled out, more like I feel like there is inconsistency in moderation. Probably because it's hard and there are limited resources and the bots that you do have have thresholds set super judiciously to avoid false-positive flagging (or not; I don't actually know).
