Costco is also saving themselves money by making sure that people don't return HP printers because they don't work. When you have a known liberal return policy that is a feature of the membership, you have an incentive is to make sure that customers don't want to return those products.

So, I see it less as a trusted environment and more as a seller motivated to make sure returns don't hit their margins. A consumer-positive/trusted environment is still be a good thing for consumers, regardless of if the creation of that environment was motivated by the bottom line.

In terms of total global heat content sure. In terms of surface ocean temp, I'm not so sure you have a point. It's a pretty indirect path for greenhouse gasses to heat the ocean, and they can't push the water above the temp of their air.

Less shade however can cause solar heating well above air temperatures.
That isn’t evidence of the previous statement.

If we continually exceed model predictions, it could be from underestimating known positive forcings, overestimating known negative forcings, or some combination of unknown positive/negative forcings.

Essentially I think continuous failed predictions are a red flag for any model, especially one as critical to us as the global climate models.
San Fransisco is the main port of the west coast. The Oregon Trail gets all the fame, but ship was usually how newcomers came to California and the other western states.

During WW2, that role was naturally even a bigger deal than in peacetime. It's also where you got dumped if you were dishonorably discharged. That's why the gay community of California was so unusually concentrated into one district of one city.
While the UK does not have great suburban public transport it is far better than what is available in most of the US.

Ironically car dependent cities like LA were built out as streetcar suburbs so they’re not really all that different to London’s ‘metroland’ suburbs built out around tube lines. The big difference is the job centres are far more distributed. When offices as well as homes are widely distributed public transport becomes very tricky.

That study says little about fewer ship tracks causing sea warming and nothing about the magnitude of any possible sea warming.
Bullshit. It clearly shows humans unwillingness to engage with the problem, with no evidence as of yet to support the notion that this will change in any meaningful way at any arbitrary future date. It certainly does not demonstrate any latent ability to curb the problems created by elevated greenhouse gas emissions.
If I were a space alien and had never heard of prog rock before, and only had a description to go off of, it would sound like everything I'm into in music -- avant-garde, philosophical, highly technical, etc. But then I actually hear it and I almost always reflect off of the genre.

Most prog-rock seems to me to be the band sort of "incohesive aimless noodling around for a while".

Maybe interestingly, I find the African-American contemporary equivalent music such as Progressive Soul, Psychedelic Funk, etc. to be much more tightly played, better recorded, more cohesive, and ultimately much more listenable to me.

What's strange about this is that I grew up with Rock music in the house and neighborhood, but not a lot of African-American music (I grew up in an immigrant and Caucasian heavy area, but not an African-American area).
> “We typically find that smaller vehicles have high driver death rates because they don’t provide as much protection, especially in crashes with larger, heavier SUVs and pickups,” said IIHS President David Harkey.

And what happens when some idiot like me double nats and plugs an access point in.

It is not really a big deal, and to be honest it sounds like the ideal multi tenet building wiring. put a baby IX in the basement, run high quality cable to each location. and let the tenants figure out what they want.

But the point is networks are complicated versatile things. and just because there is no real need for a private access point does not mean there are no private access points.

The important lesson is to not worry about what critics think. Critics certainly serve a purpose. With their informed perspective they can help you find or understand new kinds of music. But they also susceptible to trends, and although people love when critics really tear something apart, it’s not very interesting.

>video games: much, much hornier

It really depends on your scope of game. Big budget AAA games more or less abandoned sexualization. CDPR seems to be the only company that bothers with genetalia or sex at all. Compare this to the 90's/00's AAA games and it's not even the same genre.

For adult specific games, no, but yes. In the context of Japan, there's surprisingly little change in VN's. In fact it got a less loss sexual as certain VN realized they didn't need sex scenes to sell a game. But Japanese VN's are still very similar as a whole.

For the english market, it went from "small adult game shareware" in the 90's to absolutely exploding due to PC platforms allowing for independent publishing. AAA level entities (outside of Japanese VN's) never touched that market, but smaller developers always had a steam stream, and Steam allowing 18+ titles opened the floodgates.

Then there's the mobile scene. It's more or less not a factor for western branches (indie nor AAA. AAA is obvious, but the Indie market simply targets Steam), but Japan is starting a second coming with the market. It's mostly a difference in market; Google/Apple don't allow 18+ titles, so Nutaku is your best bet in the west. Meanwhile, DMM is a humongous entity in Japan has always had an entire separate 18+ wing of titles for media. Mobile games are no different, and Asia in general has a huge attach rate with mobile games.

1000 threads can run in parallel. It doesn't prevent us to sum their results deterministically:

results = ThreadPool(workers=1000).imap_unordered(calc, inputs)
print(math.fsum(results))

Due to the magic of the fsum alg, the result is deterministic whatever order we get results in.

Thank You. That's a nice rule to follow. Maybe I can modify TODO Notifier to also pick the linked ticket.

The above library is not a replacement but more of a aggregator for such TODO items. For example TODO Notifier can help you if you want to have an auto generated summary of all TODO items pending in your code by each module or by each programmer (linked via a username).

Or you can add an expected date of completion like `# TODO @waxmuesli {2023-12-01}`. So, you would expect it to be completed before that. TODO Notifier also picks up such "expired" items, generates the summary and can also notify the respective programmer.

I had a similar tool used internally in my last company. I missed the same after switching and so got motivated to develop one.

To be fair, if we did mostly stop fossil fuel exploration and emissions right now we would get a quick reduction of antropogenic warming into some 80% to 90% of the current amount in some 4 decades due to some fast-degrading gases that are not CO2.

That said, we won't stop fossil fuel exploration and the related emissions, so yes, it's temporary.
The way I see it is the media conflated “ClimateGate deniers think global warming is false” with “ClimateGate deniers think global warming models aren’t scientific.”

Any politicised science should be treated with extreme. skepticism
but how long should we pay for digital assets that have already been created?

to pay for stuff already made is not an economically productive activity. it doesn't create any more value. and this is even worse over digital assets;

also, this is why I was observing a distinction between digital goods which won't change (most media expressions) and software which needs updating

I consider this an open problem; but I have a minority view, as I always get downvoted when stating this position.

as I see this, the current hollywood strike is consequence of failure to acknowledge what I'm saying. and it'll keep getting worse. the problems in academic publishing are also an expression of this things I keep saying. I'm starting to get tired of saying this shit. not only do things not change, but they keep getting worse.

I suppose property over [blank] asserts itself over the digital to the decrement of most and the advantage of few. I see it slipping away... what could have been. what we could have had with the internet as we seem to chose (and I'm dragged along) to a world where everything is a service subscription and a few lucky ones collect rent forever; I guess they already do and always have, but now they will also do it over digital assets. capturing for themselves the technologically provided boons of the digital and internet technology

Those who did well in the birthing geo lottery of North America have a different experience than most others. Even European nations in past 25 years cancelled their currencies.
We may pay more than urban areas around us, I'm really not sure, but not all rural areas around us are serviced by the co-op and they do pay quite a bit more.

We have 3 damns generating power very close by us, two that are pretty big, but I doubt that has much to do with our rates. If anything it's slowed the need for a natural gas or coal fired power power plant nearby, but there are those within 50 miles near the bigger metro areas around us. No nukes close by though.
Anime is weird and honestly got less horny when comparing to the 80's. Even the hentai market in particular has been shriveling for a while; the days of full adaptations of eroge like Bible black are long over. But it can still be comparatively more sexual compared to most other medium, especially western medium.

Manga has always been a steady stream, and never really stopped. Maybe the largest publishers have toned it down, but the manga market has always been a wide medium with dozens of different publishers. And The doujin market has only grew over the decades.
If you could modularize code in such a way the sizable chunks could “just sit still!” then entire modules could be marked as perfect. But you wouldn’t have to since you wouldn’t naturally need to touch them (e.g. how many codebases are using a fork of core-utils, for example, … to exaggerate a conways law effect).

But unfortunately the modules don’t make themselves apparent at the start of the project. So it needs refactoring discipline.

Maybe Not is an excellent video in some ways, but I just watched it a few years later and it reminded me that as much as I love almost every Rich video, I do wish he'd spend some time reading a little deeper on type systems and theory.

For example his note about "Categorical descriptions" and then the explanation about maps/and spec at 25:00[1] seems to indicate he's unfamiliar with the difference between extensional and intensional type theory.

The core difference between the two is extensional type systems decide equality on the observable behavior of the output. For example if two functions take the same input, and produce the same output extensional type systems/theories say they are the same. The problem with this is type equality is then undecidable.

Extensional type systems also struggle because there are more than one way things might be equal! For example two string might be equal if you ignore case, but unequal if you don't. So if we want our type system to check if two functions are equal under case insensitivity an extensional type system will struggle with this.[2][3]

Now in fairness to Rich, these concepts come more from the math community, especially the notion of types being equal under different paths, and in the case of Homotopy type theory are burred in unapproachable language and concepts... even by mathematicians standards.

He also talks about select from spec, and it not preventing you from passing types broader types, and the necessity of specifying deeper type.[4] But, that's just an eliminator defined on the type[5].

Now most strongly typed programming languages suffer from the issue he identifies when talking about not making brittle systems [6] and the issues you get with coupling around taking a map/struct/product type C = A X B (e.g a map C = {A: something, B: something}), and you require A so you're function should be good but you fail to compile because the function says A, and now you're passing C.

It's frankly pretty annoying in places like Java that if you have a Point = Int x Int y you can't use it in functions which take a Tuple = Int x Int y. I'd actually say that's the common observation that both Rich, the Go Inventors, and the TypeScript folks have all made. You need to care about the extensional type of your input (and output) fairly often. And carring around the intensional type causes both dependency issues and just some general PITA's.

It’s worth noting that, as far as I know, nanite involves preprocessing the mesh to convert it into nanite’s special format. You could do the same thing with data easily.

>> Where does the GPL only refer to users? Isn't anyone supposed to be able to get access? The AGPL does, for certain;

The AGPL was designed (partly) to overcome this specific limitation in GPL3.

The preamble and license [1] reads;

Preamble

"By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software for all its users.

...

"if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code.

The license itself is best read by a lawyer, but you'll notice when talking about object code (section 6) the source is "bound" to the object code, and its recipients. There's no requirement to make the source generally available.

Aside- the Linux kernel uses GPL2 which has even fewer requirements than v3. But the concept of supplying code "to the user" is there as well.

> That information is technically not spam, but it's on a wrong level, badly presented, etc.

I'd count that kind of low quality site as spam, and the problem is that there's a basically an infinite supply of them. The boost feature is more interesting in that the curation is at least not a never-ending task. New high quality sites that I know about don't pop up all that often!

It's still not an entirely robust feature since you'll need to do a lot of quality work to prevent mediocre results from a boosted site from shadowing better results from unboosted sites, especially for users with a ton of boosts. But that quality work is much easier to justify when the manual curation is one of your core selling points and used by a large proportion of the customers vs. when it's a feature in a dusty context menu that basically none of the userbase interacts with.

> Maybe 90% of users would ignore this feature. But the 10% of power users maybe disproportionately important

I'd be shocked if the number of users for this kind of feature was anywhere near 10% of all search engine users. Something like 0.1% seems much more likely. But again, if those 0.1% really want that feature it's a great fit for a power user search engine.

It still doesn't mean that it's a feature every search engine should obviously have.
