Yes, that's precisely the sort of thing that would elicit flak. If they openly say "here is an under-egged model for the climate deniers, but here is the real, alarming model" which one do you think their climate-denying flack machines are going to take aim at?

I'm kind of surprised that in 2023, some signal replicator bridge from one side of the spinal cord to the other side isn't a lot more straightforward. I mean we're doing neural implants and the like already.

But for the use case you say, I think it's more likely a robotic arm with AI / voice instruction would do that. Or a neural helmet.
Flippantly, the short answer is: No.

The (hopefully more helpful) long answer is: What level of familiarity with physics do you have currently? How about mathematics? Are you interested in a specific subset of physics, or in building a broad understanding?

If you have an opinion about Science, maybe “10 massively under reported things about science you need to click on now” is more about clickbait and driving people to your YouTube channel than actual science?

By default, consumers are their own best regulator.
You buy only the bread that tastes good, and that
shoes that fit, so the market will provide, etc.

This only really works if the product is cheap and most people can afford to try lots of competitors, or if the consumer is sufficiently knowledgeable.

It works pretty well for bread or chocolate: most people can afford to try different brands until they find one they like. No knowledge required.

It works less well for relatively expensive items like printers with relatively hidden pitfalls that require a some level of domain knowledge and research to comprehend before purchase. Most people can't buy a different printer every week until they find the one they like, and outside of the HN crowd many (most?) people don't have the domain knowledge to research a tech product properly.

Obviously third-party review sources (Wirecutter, Consumer Reports, whatever) can mitigate this somewhat but they are subject to their own biases.

The second example: thanks to harmonised EU rules you
can put palm oil in your chocolate without loudly
declaring it and still call it chocolate on the packaging.
(You just have to mention the palm oil in the fine-print
list of ingredients.)

To me an ideal solution for printers or other cloud-dependent tech devices would be along these lines. I don't think HP's behavior should be outlawed, but there needs to be standardized messaging/warnings telling the consumer that:

1. the box contains a device that is nonfunctional unless consumers pay an ongoing subscription fee

2. what that fee is

3. a warning and the manufacturer can essentially brick the device at any time by intentionally discontinuing support or going out of business

I don’t disagree that there could be lots of other forcings/tipping points etc, but I hear lots of conjecture and don’t see the effect as much in actual predictions / models. I do disagree that if they are not included in our models, then we must be systemically underestimating warming.

Why do you assume the missing effects will make the situation worse?

If the model is missing positive forcings, what makes you so sure that they have included all the negative forcings?
That was a lot of words to end up confirming that at least 46C was recorded as surface air temp (1.25m above ground) according to their own sources.
> which explains why Robert Fripp played guitar with The Damned while King Crimson was on hiatus

"The Stranglers and Friends" is an excellent live album of punks and prog figures (including Fripp) playing with the Stranglers while Hugh Cornwell was in jail. Though the Stranglers themselves were quite sophisticated, with Dave Greenfield (RIP) playing keyboards and Jet Black (also RIP) having been a jazz drummer beforehand.

Fripp's debut solo album Exposure, Daryl Hall's Sacred Songs and Peter Gabriel II constituted a sort of trilogy of...interesting rock.

Edit: Sandinista! by The Clash and the first four Simple Minds albums are also musically interesting "punk" albums.
Are there shared lists you can subscribe to (and extend) instead of having to waste a lot of time implementing your own from scratch?
Pages are primarily written for display & human consumption. Whatever was left of the "semantic HTML" went out the window when everyone switched to the JS SPA fad.

As far as I know there is no "right" way to design a JS SPA overlay/loginwall in a way that search engines ignore it - it's not like Pinterest is intentionally ignoring a spec or designing a page that misleads search engine crawlers (other engines seem to handle Pinterest just fine). Outright denying access to search engines could be wrong because logged-in Pinterest users may actually want those results, so that's not a good solution either.

The fault is ultimately on Google for ignoring this high-profile issue for such a long time because it contributes to their bottom-line, even though a very simple, low-tech fix (easier than making the crawler recognize such loginwalls reliably) could be to just allow users to make their own decision as to whether to block the domain, like Kagi has done.
I personally found a glaring performance issue in the library related to plugins and created a github issue for it back in December (I don't think it's been fixed to date). I was confused because it was pretty obvious. "Battle tested" things, by definition, have been through battles and don't have as many easy pickings on optimizations.

Yeah, there's a mass of outsiders moving into my hometown and while it has been good for the local economy, it has really eroded the culture in a big way. It's gentrification, but on poor whites. It was gonna happen eventually, but I do hate watching it happen for selfish reasons.

They both work. It's more about which providers you need.
I don’t mean to be flippant but aren’t those all symptoms of sleep deprivation? I’m wary of phrasing like “linked to” in science reporting because it falls short of asserting causality.
This is defeatist and also not true. We adopt nuclear, invest in carbon capture technologies, and employ geoengineering strategies as needed until fusion comes online. This is a solvable technical problem with significant political hurdles.
No, the labor costs are mostly rising because culturally significant cities in the Anglosphere have seen their housing costs blow up to astronomical levels in the last few years.

Supply is hilariously above demand globally, people in the museum space basically make the calculation of what is the minimum I can talk myself into justifying and not live an actively unpleasant life and that minimum bar has simply skyrocketed vs 10 years ago.
funny, the reason i say its not battle tested is because of an issue i discovered in the extension system that was mentioned in that post.

We ought to stop surface-level sulfur emissions, for human health and also because ship engines that produce sulfur also produce lots of other nasty shit.

Stratospheric sulfur is much more efficient, per kg, at reflecting sunlight, so we could replace the cooling effect of surface-level sulfur with stratospheric sulfur, and if we choose to, go even further to cool the planet more.

I'd love if the market fixed all these product quality
issues, but it doesn't.

Yeah. Free markets only work when consumers are educated and sufficiently informed enough to make good decisions.

The problem is that a consumer relies on thousands of products a year and it is a practical impossibility to be educated in all domains of knowledge. You can't have deep knowledge of transport, healthcare, technology, food, and a thousand other things.

> Why do you assume the missing effects will make the situation worse?

> If the model is missing positive forcings, what makes you so sure that they have included all the negative forcings?

I don't think they have included all the negative forcings, but I think that's irrelevant because the observed evidence is that the unincluded positive forcings are significantly larger than the unincluded negative forcings.

All that matters is the net balance, and the fact that the climate is systematically exceeding the most wildly pessimistic predictions our model provides, shows that the model is not neutrally-calibrated with the present assumptions. There is a significant positive net balance (including any negative forcing) that our model is understating.

At any given time that could be a lot or a little, but, right now it seems to be "a lot". And the fact that it's been that way for 30 years, says that this isn't a short-term thing. And in fact the rate of departure from the model is accelerating too - the second derivative and third derivates seem to be strongly positive. We are not just getting farther away from the model, we are getting farther away faster and accelerating as we do it.

Could that all change tomorrow when some other effect kicks in and plunges us into a nuclear winter or whatever? No, probably not, but that's the kind of hope that conservative media has been selling people for 40 years.

When scientists give a neutral "well, anything could happen but..." response, all the public hears is "you're saying there's a chance". Nope, we're blasting through all the guardrails of the model on a yearly basis, we're pretty fucked.

And yes, there's also the possibility that we've unintentionally been geoengineering something for a while and when we stop ships from putting out sulfur (because it causes acid rain) that we suddenly jump even higher.

Getting to the "disease, famine, endless wildfires (way too many to keep under control), storms with the power to level cities and blot out the sun" portion of the Toby Ruins It For Everyone video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc1vrO6iL0U

And yes, it is absolutely too late to stop and the best we can do is try to limit the impacts... which will continue to worsen until we do (and then for about another 20 years after we cease net emissions). Which is why the conservative media will jump right from "it's not real/it's not human caused/it's not bad enough to do anything about it" right to "wow it's too late, let's do nothing". Which is the same thing they've wanted us to do all along, ofc...

Meta’s AI ‘personas’ might launch next month
I learned from w3schools in the early 2000s, and helped instruct my high school web design course with it.

I wish I hadn't. There were many innacuracies, outdated advice, and over simplifications.

I came up on a slew of weird and inconsistent sources, and that bit me when discussing things in college. I often felt over confident because of these type of sites.

W3schools (used to at least) gave a very shallow intro to programming languages (PHP, ASP, etc), and I remember a professor basically laughing at me once because of that misinformation.

So, maybe others had experiences like mine.

EDIT

They also had these weird "certifications" for technologies that were basically really dumbed down quizzes. They were made to make people feel special, I think. Dunno, I did them all, and I almost got laughed out of class.

What do you think is being evaluated on each iteration of a loop?
Oh, I just meant that it was conceptually easy - things should look 'right' - whereas with scientific data figuring out how to map that data to a 2D screen often involves a lot of carefully thought-out discretion about what to show and what to hide.

The actual implementations of 3D rendering are gargantuan feats of engineering, science, and art. Having spent time writing code to turn terrain height maps into quantized meshes for 3D rendering, I agree entirely that deciding which vertices are important is not a trivial problem. The OP linked a video about Nanite, which IMHO is a marvel of engineering.
Yes peak oil is a good example of predictions being wrong, it does not mean anything for other predictions of doom.

I recommend returns.

If cloud-only things have higher return rates, that will drive up costs far more than cloud-only returns.
Yeah I think that's another way of viewing what I'm saying. Different levels of information density I'm fine with, but what concerns me is that the median itself is rarely conducive to nuance and detail. Even some of the top tier educational videos gloss over things that make the conclusions conditional or even completely incorrect. It has the appearance of authoritative knowledge, but if you take it at face value you'd have a completely inaccurate understanding of the subject matter. I'm a scientist myself and watched what I thought was a fascinating and detailed 30 minute video about power transmission last night. I had a question so I clicked through to written description of the phenomenon which explained it in one paragraph and completely invalidated the video.

I worry about my kids in the world if people lose the expectation of detail
>RHEL is built from CentOS Stream, so nothing can go into CentOS Stream that wouldn't go into RHEL.

This isn't strictly true. The main problem with CentOS Stream is that embargoed security updates don't go into Stream until after they ship in RHEL. This means that if the developer responsible for the patch forgets to commit it to Stream, it can take weeks or even months until somebody at Red Hat notices and the patch goes out to Stream users. As one example, a couple months ago basic packages like httpd and php were 4 and 5 months behind RHEL, respectively.
It’s only been a week and we have had already multiple confirmations of important properties from several independent sources.
Given that it’s quite unlikely that they are all producing fraudulent results I would say that something strange seems to be really happening with this novel material.
It came broken in the mail?
So just to clarify, you agree that “the models are inaccurate” is true, but that is is because of pressure from climate deniers and is systematically conservative.

So because of political pressure, the modellers didn’t include a well known effect and missed predicting the highest temperatures on record. A model confirming event which could have convinced millions that climate is worth worrying about.

But instead the IPCC listened to fox and neutered their models? I think that is a lot less likely than “their models aren’t very accurate, they simplified a part of the model which turned out to be very important.”
No, it was 48°C air temperature. The "Debunking" was a hoax and this explained in the article you linked.
They are creating a trusted environment where you can buy things that don’t suck. That has value. If it was the mafia they would require you to shop there.
Indeed the original draft said USSR, but we are talking about Russian theories, not USSR scientists who are ethnically Ukrainian. We came to realize that we have so little information about the exact theory and our best knowledge suggests that the theory is, while may or may not have been pioneered by a Ukrainian scientist (see the updated post), currently rooted in Russia and not in the former USSR.
I think people drastically overestimate modern medical technology. We are not advanced by any means. We are still just barely learning small pieces...
You're right. Of course, getting excited on the media is fine. But people are acting as if their words can help protect something from someone, which is disconnected from reality. Things unfold either way, regardless of whether people care about it or not. The real future is not sympathetic to predictions.
This is kind of a weird take unless you're some corporate lacky.

Where does the GPL only refer to users? Isn't anyone supposed to be able to get access? The AGPL does, for certain; it's what I license my work under to ensure it can't be rehosted somewhere and be proprietary'd.

Interestingly, Red Hat appears to be gatekeeping what constitutes a user of their systems in order to offer GPL terms only to those who are users. This requires payment, so it's a way for business to refuse open terms unless paid for.

Why is that okay? They accept patches from community members, what moral right do they have to repackage and then withhold source when asked?

The true freeloaders of libre software have always been commercial efforts. If they couldn't freeload off of GNU, Linux, and BSD, where would we be?

Quite insulting for Red Hat to declare others to be freeloading when they are the ones profiting on the community's work. They wouldn't have a company without free software.

Nobody's entitled to profit. I hope some rights holders sue Red Hat to keep the source shared. They're perfectly free to build their own non-GPL distro on top of Linux, nobody'll stop them, and they won't have to share.
I’m saying I used to think climategate was all conspiracy theory nonsense. Now I think there was likely an attempt to hide unhelpful data.

This lacks scientific models or sources that quantify the magnitude of the reduction in ship tracks and the resulting impact on sea temperatures. They are not in the science.org article[1] he links either.
