I distinctly recall the shock waves when the Bush administration sidestepped the Kyoto climate agreement [1].

In 2001, US stance on the Kyoto Protocol held sway, and its ratification might have supercharged global climate efforts / green technological advancements.

It's ironic that some skeptics label what amounts to broad scientific consensus as being part of a "death cult"; classic projection.

I sure didn't buy a license for every book and screenplay I've ever read. And I borrow a lot of books from the library. I'm not understanding why you think ML models need to license all of their input content when humans clearly do not.

"Conflating" energy consumption with energy generation, which here in the real world is still predominantly carbon intensive? I wouldn't say there's much conflating going on, rather, recognition of the reality we live in.
> Since there is no known genesis or cause for ADHD, and there is no known diagnostic test that can physically detect the presence of ADHD in the brain or some other organ

This very post gives a BIG clue to what ADHD is at its core, an executive function disorder.

It means struggling to complete basic tasks. Like showing up for an appointment. Remembering that thing someone asked you to do. Or a commitment you made to someone else. Remembering to do your taxes. And actually doing them when your reminder goes off for the 10th time.

It’s a complete lack of motivation to do anything that isn’t interesting. It has everything to do with how our brains process dopamine. And an ADHD brain struggles with it. It even looks different from a non-ADHD brain[1][2][3].

You can’t really know what it’s like to live with ADHD unless you have it. I think your entire argument around a dislike for disciplining is misguided. It might make them conform more to authority figures (out of a fear for their life). But they will not suddenly develop an ability to focus better on the task in front of them. They can’t, biologically.

So please give them a break, and don’t speak for them.

This page interactively shows antarctic sea extent all the way from 1979 to now.

(Click on "Antarctic", and then click "Show all years.")

Kinda hard to spin as "it's all a part of natural variability" when the graph looks back at you like that.

* The Arctic graph is also interesting. At first sight it doesn't look that bad, until you zoom in and realize that the bottom of the graph is pretty much entirely 2010s and 2020s.

Edit: Oh, actually you can just change the color scheme and see the Arctic graph sliding down over time! Neat.
I am sure anyone who work in STEM can attest: immigrants do a lot of the work. Look to your left and look to your right of your work desk, chances are there is an immigrant in one of the directions you look.

And yet many of those immigrants are on borrowed time. One layoff and they risk losing decades of their life and deported back home. That kind of treatment isn't fair. Especially when these are highly productive, extremely capable, and very educated demographics. They are the ideal and model citizens for any kind of country. Yet they are treated like disposables.

What reasons are there to decline a visa to a PhD employed in a critical industry? Because they were born in a country with a visa backlog of 10 years?
> You could've convinced your friends that things had to change... You can also be indirectly responsible for a much greater amount.

From personal experience of when I went vegan for a year and rode a bike everywhere, people really don't want to hear it. I went out of my way not to talk about it unless people specifically asked me about it, and even then, they didn't want to hear it. Regardless of what you say when questioned, they either think you're sanctimonious and/or they will start associating their guilt and negative feelings with you. The end result is that you start getting frozen out. If you no longer eat meat, you stop getting invited to the BBQ, or the meal at the steakhouse, and when you stop getting invitations to these events, you stop getting invites to others because you're getting pushed further and further to the periphery. People are tribal and they don't want to feel bad about things they enjoy. It is far more likely that you will get kicked out of the tribe rather than the tribe changing it's behaviour to match yours.

I don't think this is so, as demonstrated by people usually quoting the guidelines themselves, almost biblically, when chastising someone else on HN. I don't often see people quoting Dang's comments.

I prefer to think instead that HN has crystallised down the lofty goals of civilised dialogue into a handful of wonderfully tangible rules - but unfortunately, rules that can only be followed by somewhat thoughtful people.

This works on HN because HN content (stuff that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity) naturally drives away non-thoughtful people.

For example:

> Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.

At this risk of sounding elitist, if you don't know what fulminating means, or you actively seek out conflict online where you can sneer at others, then you are not the kind of person who will be able to follow the guidelines, and you will quickly be downvoted, which on HN carries a very visible stigma as your comments literally fade into obscurity.

Instead, you will be quickjly driven back to the safe echo chambers of Facebook or wherever, where you can find like minded-people who will sneer alongside you.

How is that point relevant?

The goal is to eliminate CO2 emissions, not eliminate the use of oil generally.

For plastics production, that goal could be achieved by migrating extraction, refining, manufacturing, and transport to carbon neutral energy sources.

Of course, moving away from non-biodegradable plastics, in general, is also a good idea for a host of other reasons.

But given oil is also used in, for example, the production of fertilizer, we're probably gonna need to be able to extract it and use it sustainably for a while yet.

3% and that sounds like a pittance when the fate of Western Europe is at stake.

That is correct on both counts: they’re a bit pricey and insurance won’t cover an oral appliance for sleep apnea, which is unfortunate!

I do tape over the mouth every night. It’s worth a try! I also wear an oral appliance to prevent teeth clenching at night which was a game changer for me in terms of jaw muscle inflammation (due to clenching).

Mouth taping is one thing my dad (dentist) recommends for people who snore. While I don’t snore or have sleep apnea, I do feel like I get a more restful sleep.

> If a ML model spits out snippets of copyrighted material and you try to monetize those then that’s clearly infringement.

If it spits it out because it was in the training set or prompt, yes. If it spits it out and it was in the training set (or prompt), it is at least difficult to make the case that it is not infringement (if it was the prompt, then you basically have the same problem as any other case where you are proving that production of something that matches something someone else has a copyright on was independent, since copyright only protects against copying, not coincidence.) If it spits it out but it was not in the training set or prompt then clearly it was not infringement.

> But if it ingests copyrighted material and then spits out entirely new content influenced by the originals… how is that an issue?

Because a non-perfect mechanical copy is still a copy violating copyright if there is no license, and a derivative work produced by a human using AI as a tool is still an infringing derivative work if there is no license. While copyright protects against perfect copies, it protects against imperfect copies and derivative works as well. (Except where exceptions like Fair Use apply.)

I don't agree that they aren't pirating content. If full text is used in the training corpus that seems like it would qualify.

I think the disconnect is that I intended it more as a statement that SpaceX had physical locks (and/or some forms of access control) on their physical stuff. They have allow lists for various areas. So, at a rough level they can say ITAR hardware is in section 5, so they can only allow people in the intersection of "need section 5 access" and "US persons" in. Because the list is almost certainly computer managed.

It's kind of a joke that if they don't have locks I would play with the prototypes. Just because that's what I would seek out. But yes, ITAR can cover the boring and probably mundane as well.

isn't that most social media? If you want traditional news, you subscribe to a news site. if you want experts you need to be in those respective communities. Expecting journalists or domain experts to freely share quality information on an informal platform isn't impossible, but shouldn't be expected. pseudoanonymous discussion shouldn't be your primary source for most "real" content and issues.

Two parts of their statement stand out to me.

First is "to enable the repairs performed by authorised repair channels", which indicates they don't really want to make parts available to the average joe, and likely also hampers independent repair shops who don't want to participate in (pay for) a manufacturer programme.

Second is "repair providers disclose the use on non-genuine or used parts" which indicates they may try to continue the serialisation of parts to force the repairer to buy replacement new parts, rather than being able to swap in known-working used or non-oem bits.

Taken together, it sounds like they want you to buy new replacement parts only from them, to only repair the bits they allow you to repair, as long as you sign an authorised repair contract with them. Which doesn't seem that different to their existing authorised repair programme?

Overall I think there is some progress, but I don't think Apple is switching to be pro-RtR yet. Maybe I'm just skeptical based on their past actions, but I hope I'm wrong.

The celera approach using shotgun was tricky because assembling the bits required a great deal of computational finesse and horsepower; "The final assembly computations were run on Compaq’s new AlphaServer GS160 because the algorithms and data required 64 gigabytes of shared memory to run successfully."

At the time the GS160 was the monster machine, a classic big iron UNIX, which could be tightly clustered- unified IO/filesystem between all the machines. The primary author of the shotgun assembly was Gene Myers, who previously had written BLAST, and invented the Suffix Array with Udi Manber.

The public project had its own issues, as many of the teams assigned to work on it still had the "cottage industry/artisinal/academic" approach, then Eric Lander came along and turned it into an industrial process, and parlayed that into running the Broad Institute, a privately funded MIT/Harvard research institute in Boston.

These days petabytes of sequence data are generated every day and stored in clouds. The genome has been a fundamental tool for shaping our studies of humans, although its true potential for understanding complex phenotypes remains elusive.

If it's not unlimited then don't call it that. If the company expects users to not do certain things, then state that in the contract. If you call it unlimited and it's not really unlimited and depends on what the company feels today, then it's just false advertising.

In my organization if I were in charge of contracts and pulled something like this, I'd be out of a job and my chain of command would be under review.

> I'm also not sure the distinction between PFAS introduction in manufacturing vs washing/distribution is that important to this study

Because one applies to everyone, and the other only to those people who live in the same place as where the test was performed.

Controlling for contaminants is like rule one of this kind of study.

> If you're a glass factory who has been pumping out say, PFAS coated glass beakers for years

You're not. Those are not common things, they are specialty items. And most likely applied elsewhere, not as part of a glass factory anyway.

> And, I believe polymeric glass coatings can be attached 'for life' these days.

If that were true then the PFAS isn't leaving the glass to go into the human, which just calls the study even more into question. But I doubt there are any coatings in the first place (on glass), the PFAS came from elsewhere. (On the paper straws though, I totally believe the PFAS was applied deliberately - but this study is not where I'm learning that.)
> Is all this machinery really helping? Are you sure?

Absolutely: ADTs and general-purpose crud stuff are a perfect fit. It's the delicate numeric stuff where typed functional languages are at their least helpful (though I think still somewhat better than imperative ones, except at the ultra-high performance end).

Our coaches are either credentialed by ICF (International Coaching Federation) like BetterUp or Ginger or Lyra's coaches, NB-HWC (National Board - Health & Wellness Coaching), or have masters-level psych degree and go through our training.

If the licensed or certified mental health professionals aren't actually hands-on with your clients, it's awfully misleading to say that all of your coaches are licensed or certified mental health professionals or blah blah blah. If you were being honest, you'd skip the nonsense about using mental health professionals as coaches and just say that your coaches go through your training program and are supported by mental health professionals--you know, the actual truth.
