I was a TA for an introductory linguistics course at UC Santa Barbara in the 1970s. On the first day of class, the instructor would have the students answer a few questions intended to show if they were from northern or southern California. (Few were from out of state.)

The two I remember were:

(1) If someone tells you they are going to “the city,” where are they going?

(2) Name a freeway.

The other TAs and I compiled the results. For (1), the northern Californians almost always answered “to San Francisco,” while the southern Californians gave a variety of answers, including “Huh?” For (2), the northerners gave a number, like “the 101,” while the southerners usually answered with a name, like “the Golden State” or “the Harbor Freeway.” (I haven’t been to California for a while, but my impression is that SoCal usage has shifted since the 1970s to numbers, too.)

The instructor of that class was Marc Okrand, who later created the Klingon language.

If you're ever in NYC I'd recommend visiting a museum called The Cloisters. It's way up at the tippity top of Manhattan, but it's worth the visit. They have a lot of old religious artifacts, which includes the most beautiful book I've ever seen in person. It's called the Belles Heures of Jean de France. Here's a photo I took of it:

Often when I talk about climate cycles, it turns into I'm a climate change denier. I am not, I have been writing about climate change since the 90's. It's just not that this year, or next, are indicative of imminent disaster.

Within the next few hundred years the seas will rise around 100m. Nothing will stop that, nothing will save most island countries or coastal cities. We don't have the long term political will to stop that.

But that's centuries from now, not decades.

> Municipal fiber is not special due to the ISP being municipal government.

Sorry but that's not true, it is special because it can do things a large profit-maximizing ISP can't. It can give free internet to schools and libraries, it can give subsidized rates to lower income neighborhoods, it also brings control of the ISP under democratic control.

By removing from it the need to be an entity seeking to extract maximum profits, a whole host of other things can be done.

I think it's pretty good. No sane human uses those in casual text. Trying to carve out exceptions could become a complex biting situation, but flat-out blocking/replacing them shouldn't.
No, no, everyone must pay constant attention to him. Once we stop, he will do something else stupid and irritating, to get back in the news (see that ridiculous sign).

Endless stories about “Twitter very broken today, isn’t it?” Are infinitely preferable to him putting up more signs or doing something else silly with toilets or whatever. It’s just a mild annoyance tax.
I’m not sure what you’re referring to. ClimateGate was about the quality of evidence for early global warming studies. It claimed that scientists were hiding bad data and evidence that their models had problems.

This seems very similar: models missing data and forcing but not being criticised when they miss a once in a century confirmation event.
> it's not like Pinterest is intentionally ignoring a spec or designing a page that misleads search engine crawlers

And

> The problem is that their pages exploit a flaw in Google's crawler…

I apparently misunderstood your phrasing of “exploit” to mean something intentional. You submit that Pinterest is unintentionally exploiting a flaw in a way that both drives traffic to them and ruins search.

I suppose in my shit soup analogy, the thing you’d explain is that there’s shit in the bowl because the laws of physics coincidentally allow shit to rest in a bowl.
The fact that we're continually exceeding the most pessimistic projections the models can produce on a yearly basis, even after repeatedly recalibrating it to build in even more pessimistic assumptions, and that we're tending to depart more strongly from even the pessimistic models.

This implies that the models are broadly understating these feedback loops, that they are net-balance in the positive-feedback direction, and that they are becoming more active in the current climate behavior regime.

>> What personal benefit does this gain someone to publish it so quickly? Is it just social media attention?

> There are no prizes for being second in science.

The reply (second quote above) fits in context, but there is more to it.

1. Publishing early at the expense of quality has a way of catching up to one's reputation. (Hopefully.)

2. History has many examples of scientists who were "too early" or not "in the right place at the right time" to get recognition.

3. A result may get little attention in one field but a lot in another. One example that comes to mind are string-matching algorithms. Sometimes they seem a dime-a-dozen in CS. But the "right" ones have transformed DNA sequencing.
Back in the days of Duke Nukem, Quake and Unreal, we connected with no NAT using 1400 baud modems, if we were lucky ;-). Honestly though, I played direct (peer 2 peer) with Duke Nukem and conected over a centralized server for Unreal, but I hardly ever played Quake. I did this, with a 1400 baud modem and a phone-line that I paid for myself, with the earnings I made from a paper route job. It was the 90s and it was something special, for me at least.
It's Germany. There's nothing at all surprising about it.

> If it turns out to be true, then everyone will be so excited that they'll forget about anything nature came out with.

Will people forget about Nature making fun of the researchers that are working trying to replicate the thing?

I did expect nobody to publish anything until there's more certainty, and I did not expect any early publication to have any lasting impact anyway. But this piece is well, pretty heavy handed. I'm not sure people won't hold a grudge.
It does sound like a relatively small change yielded an outsized impact on the climate. This gives me hope for future climate solutions.

Because most glass in our lifetime is transparent or translucent I think we tend to forget the ancients probably saw as much opaque glass and things like volcanic glasses or obsidian, as the transparent or translucent kind. If not more so.

Before glass was blown it was moulded and patterned like play-doh around sticks to make small containers for make-up, or beads. The ones I've seen in museums are rarely transmissive glass. Glazes on pottery also are rarely see through. At best you get partial vitrification in bone china until comparatively recently (asia apart and probably only small amounts of translucent china goods were reaching rome from the east. Spices and pearls and silk made good money and were less breakable)

A ductile material like aluminium might be a stretch but being far lighter than known metals and "shiny" it's not implausible that if lucked upon it mistranslated as glass. And amorphous metals and glasses do collide, hard disks are very glass like.

I do still think it's a myth. It's too complete, the semi magical substance, the wise despot who kills the inventor. A handy moral tale of sorts, the kind it's necessary to invent sometimes.

There are some wonderful ancient glassware in museums. Bichromic glass in the B.M, and the Vatican I believe, and exquisite carved translucent cameos.
I think the way it’s set up is that the wager automatically pays out to a beneficiary, so I would have it pay out to a charity.
Apologies - I've edited my original comment to make it clearer that I meant "exploit" in a non-intentional way.
Seems unlikely. I don’t have an estimate on hand but a significant percentage of the ~50 tons of material impacting earths atmosphere each day survives the trip relatively unharmed. It’s a surface are to volume ratio thing where small objects can avoid melting.

As such there’s presumably a lot of ancient material embedded in the Antarctic ice sheet etc. That said these samples are uncontaminated which greatly increases their scientific value.
It’s a bs story though. The range numbers are estimates based on good conditions at 55mph, and people expect the range to not change when they have lead foot or other factors. Not a bug, not a scandal, just EV noobs who assume the worst when they don’t understand things.
Rick Beato is great. Since he came up in a discussion of progressive rock, it's worth pointing out that he seems to have a massive blind spot in this area. If he's ever discussed Adrian Belew or Robert Fripp at all, I never noticed it.

> Have you ever seen a Youtube video about someone reviewing a Tesla or comparing it to another car? The comments are always full of hostile and vitriolic remarks by people who are personally offended if the video suggests the cup holders on a Model 3

Uh no? Usually it’s a comment like this at the top and the thread is full of irrational Tesla hate.
I'll point out that automation is gradually being built to avoid that kind of scenario, however.
Dude. Nuclear takes decades to build, and that’s IF you can even build it. There’s zero appetite for it in the US or even formerly nuclear happy Europe. We’re literally decommissioning more reactors than we build.

Carbon capture doesn’t work. Even if you did manage to capture it from a coal plant, that’s not enough. You have to suck it from the air, and a scalable technology doesn’t exist, and even if it did, we’d need massive amounts of power to do it, because you’re literally up against the second law of thermodynamics.

And even if you did have all that stuff today, you’d have to deploy it faster than exponential growth!

I’m aorry, but you can’t just yell, “SCIENCE!” and expect it work. It ain’t magic, and the clock has expired. If we listened 50 years ago, and started then, yeah, maybe we’d be in a fighting chance. It’s sure as hell like we didn’t know that check was coming due. Now acting like we can just reverse a century and a half of exponential growth in a weekend is naïve at best, and “thoughts and prayers” level of “fuck you” at worst.

Optimism != realistic.

Optimism is what got us in this mess.
Climategate was definitely real even if it obviously does not disprove or relate to human-driven climate change.

Scientists are sometimes politically motivated and will resort to lying to push their point. This romanticization of scientists and scientific institutions as inherently above lying and fraud is mythological. I see it happening on engineering research that has zero political relevance, imagine research that does.

The espoused amazon groupthink seems to be from "earlier" amazon which, to your point, was practically greenfield for everything.

IMO only now is Amazon starting to run into the long term consequences of massive adhoc inhouse tech tools, probably only worsened by defensive coding techniques to combat stack rank evals.

I'd like to say that the most modern example of two way door decisions is hiring someone, because you can always just fire them immediately as the stack rank sacrificial lamb. See? Easily undone.
because sulfur causes acid rain and respiratory problems and infrastructure damage etc. you're putting sulfuric acid into the atmosphere, just like carbonating water produces carbonic acid that eats your teeth.

It's not fundamentally different from burning coal, and coal obviously had to be stopped too, I don't know why it's really a question that we need to avoid harmful pollutants even if they have a fringe benefit.
You say zero evidence. Would you like to review a graph of global CO2 emissions over the last 30 years?
Strictly speaking that is not sufficient as it only holds for the current part of the climate evolution and not the future one. It could be that currently positive forcing is underestimated while in the future negative forcing is.
Pity the digitization is from a facsimile, not an original print. But the justification doesn't convince me:

> Given how few copies of the Kelmscott Chaucer were originally produced, thirteen copies on vellum, and another 58 on pig’s skin, “any special collection’s library who are lucky enough to own an original copy are likely to be very reluctant to embark upon any form of digitization due to the significant risk of damage that the process could inflict upon the book.”

Huh? Damage from leafing through the book with gloves and snapping a photo of each page? For a book printed on animal hide (which can last millennia) in the late 19th century?

Meanwhile, papyrus scrolls, which are infamous for crumbling to dust from a sharp look, are routinely digitized around the world.

That makes no sense at all.
Tell that to people who died from aids 40 years ago who could live a full life now.

It would be easy enough for web browsers and email programs to not output files with executable extensions. They make things executable for user convenience, and if the average user was on unix they'd probably do something similarly insecure there too.

No. The “scandal” was they were hiding evidence of cooling. If you don’t remember, read the article. Look at who promoted it.

Literally no one promoting that bullshit believed that models were underreporting the effects and causes climate change.

> (sidenote: even if you don't have a dynamically linked program, you still will need dynamic loading - modern statically linked binaries use a feature called Address Space Layout Randomization which (ab)uses the implementation of the dynamic loader to randomize where the symbols of your "statically" linked binary are going to be once the program is loaded into memory).

This is news to me. Wouldn’t a statically linked binary be just machine code with all the libraries and the addresses resolved at link time (i.e., no symbols to resolve at runtime) and bundled within the single executable file by the linker? Or are you referring to specific language implementations of “static” (since it’s in quotes) binaries?

I haven’t read in-depth about ASLR, but I thought it was mainly for libraries loaded dynamically (at runtime) where better security could possibly be achieved by the randomization of addresses. The OS has had the capability to load the (main) executable at any address even before ASLR.

Any pointers to deeper reading material on this?

All car manufacturers are subsidized especially gas car manufacturers who do not pay the costs of the relatively larger environmental damage they create.

A Tesla without any rebate / tax credit still has cheaper TCO than a gas car costing $10,000 to $15,000 less, but many people don’t get this yet so they think these rebates are needed to keep Tesla in business. They’re not.

But RedHat is under no obligation to make future sales to you and can drop you as a customer for any reason, including you exercising your legal right to share the code.

So they want to be legal but sneaky? Let the legal but sneaky games begin!
