To your point who will make what sacrifice, as that is what is needed but is it reasonable or realistic to expect this? Seem the best approach is we need some serious tech development and fast.

The vast majority of climate impact fits within 1) population, 2) power generation and 3) transportation. No.2 gets a bunch of focus, but 1) and 3) seem far less and sub issues that have little relative impact get far more attention.

People drop simple "we must do something" but it's so complex and I feel ultimately few humans want to make either the real sacrifice needed or investment in change so we're stuck in the middle and along for the ride.
> Were hacking legal

Do consider "we're hacking legal" or "hacking the legal system", which is widely practiced by corporatae everywhere. Why should it be OK to hack the legal rules set in place by regulators and not the business rules set in place by a business or individual?

In both cases it typically involves finding loopholes that allow you to get what you normally wouldn't, while complying with de-facto implementation of rules. (E.g. rooting an Android phone you bought, or requesting data from a publicly readable but probably misconfigured S3 bucket).
Do your uber drivers actually let you drink In-n-Out milkshakes in the back seat? Is the an in-app feature I can select? As drinking strawless on I-880 would be like being a DUI.
I think the founder left the corporation. Not certain about it though, can't find definitive proof (a part from not being ceo anymore, but maybe he still has some role inside?)
As I understand it this was hard because most mechanisms we have for sequencing genes work by first splitting large sequences of genes into random chunks and sequencing each chunk individually. These chunks then need arranged properly to form the entire genome. This is possible at all because we can get overlap between the chunks, but when a sequence has repeating sections overlap still isn’t enough to stitch everything together correctly. There’s also a newer technique involving nano pores. The dna is literally pulled through a little hole and the electrical properties change depending on which base pair is inside the pore, sadly it’s liable to errors in a deterministic way depending on the sequence. I don’t have access to the full paper so I’m not quite sure what was done here, but I have heard people talk about combining the two approaches above
Not really.

All these new members are countries that have extremely strong trade and defense relationship with Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa already

Brazil - Argentina

Russia - Iran, UAE

India - Egypt, UAE, KSA, Ethiopia, Iran

China - Iran, KSA, UAE, Ethiopia, Egypt

South Africa - Ethiopia

The issue is, BRICS+ will never be as cohesive as the G7 because the I and C have an active rivalry that is impacting bilateral relationships in the B, R, and S.

Within the G7, all the members are already aligned with each other.

> Israel/Turkey are left in the cold

Israel has India, France, and the US due to defense and economic dependencies.

Turkey has the full support of Eastern and Southern European NATO members like Romania, Poland, Spain, etc because they are a regional power competing against Russia within the Balkans, Mediterranean, Middle East, Africa, and Eastern Europe

I think code is less important to read than the design of interfaces / APIs.

I've basically never been blown away by someone's function definitions or whatever, but I regularly run into well designed APIs.

Maybe it's because the API is the thing that has the ergonomics, but the code is just getting things to work. Not sure.
You are right. There's no good way to efficiently measure that - even just excluding people with a history of criminal fraud is costly.

There’s certainly people who need food.

I’m not arguing that starvation doesn’t exist. I’m arguing that most shoplifters aren’t starving. And if they were, they wouldn’t shoplift food from dollar tree as the food is all in small packages. People who starve don’t become stupid and would likely shoplift more expensive, nutrient dense items.
> This one year, or the year previous, is not evidence that the ecosystem of the planet is going to collapse in 10 years.

Global warming writ large has been going on for a lot longer than a couple of years, and ocean temperature tipping points have been an anticipated consequence. An anomaly of this size warrants alarm. If not proof of imminent ecosystem collapse, it seems foolish to 'wait and see'. Though I take your point that defeatism is worse, but I doubt OP is defeatist.

That's an even more sensationalist spin than what the OP wrote

Clearly, anyone who believes “there is no ethical consumption under capitalism” would disagree.

Since they kept people from socializing and getting out and about, and they pushed their vaccines on the public to the point that over 80% of the population was vaccinated, does it mean that when you let vaccinated people out, COVID still killed a high number of vaccinated people?

Sure, patient (mother) gets to make decisions about what treatments they want, clinician advises them on the pros/cons of each option. Just pointing out squat birthing isn't the panacea some people paint it as.

The study wasn't about the mental well being of the mother & birthing method, I'm sure you can find some literature on that (but it's not a valid criticism of the study methods).

A good article about the achievement from UC Santa Cruz, where one of the lead scientists of the Telomere-to-Telomere project works:

https://news.ucsc.edu/2023/08/t2t-y-chromosome.html
It’s actually about 3 gigabases (ATCG). There are some recurrent features of the genome whose function we’ve worked out. For example the TATA box is a classic sequence that typically indicates the start of a part of the genome that codes for a protein. The vast majority of the genome doesn’t code for proteins. The function of these genome regions are much more murky. Some of these regions function like scaffolds for proteins to assemble into complexes. These protein complexes then start transcribing the genome into into mRNA. So the genome regulates its own expression, in a sense. Many of the sequences that function in this way are known. There are also just a bunch of parts of the genome that probably don’t do anything. There are also many regions of the genome that are basically self replicating sequences. They code for proteins that are capable of inserting their own genetic sequence back into the genome. These are transposons.

In short, a lot of very painstaking genetics and molecular biology work has gone into characterizing the function of certain sequences.

Serious question, not trying to be a jerk. Why do people keep making these? Because they’re fun? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of these gain traction.
Doesn't really seem like they came around to some great moral realization. I think they just saw the writing on the wall and decided to put on a friendly face to try and get a few favorable provisions thrown in.
Everything either has a price or a dignity. Some things are okay to do, just pay for it. Some actions are not okay even if you offer lots of money. Dropbox is muddying two different things. They’re trying to shame unprofitable users who are enjoying a flat rate plan by associating them with cryptocurrency controversy. Instead of saying we want to advertise unlimited while still being able to refuse service to very heavy users, they try to say it’s only a small minority of “abusers” who are engaged in unsavory activities. They’re trying to use a “dignity” based argument when it’s unprofitable for them.

Great observation. Also true that these little fruitless acts of opt-out and opt-in aren't just limited to climate but also politics and living under capitalism. We are all just trying to make sense of complex systems that are outside of our control. In many ways the most healthy (for ones own mind) approach to all of this is to just give in to everything, or as some have called it: take the grill-pill.

That's what you get when the powers that be have spent decades promoting guilt-tripping instead of internalizing the externalities.
It looks like from the preprint that they sequenced the Y chromosome of HG002, which was one of the original 1000 genomes samples from way back in the day, still held in deep freeze at a number of biobanks.

Short-read sequencing data is a notoriously bad datatype for reconstructing the low-complexity / repetitive regions of genomes, so up until recently the most commonly used reference genomes have left many of these regions "dark". According to the preprint, the Y chromosome has the highest density of these low-complexity regions. It's also something of a bioinformatic nuisance when constructing a generic human reference genome, as it's only present in 50% of the population.
I want to take these concerns seriously but I got to this and I had to LOL a bit:

> if there was anything that would receive attention for Terraform, I figured it would surely be a pull request fixing the six-year-old, number-one-most-popular feature request on the issue tracker

Working on an open source project, I see a lot of popular feature requests that don't fit into the roadmap and aren't aligned with the design of the project.

It's sometimes very difficult to tactfully explain to folks that "your idea is not aligned with the vision" but I have gotten better at it over time. It still takes a lot of emotional energy to wind yourself up and explain the vision, even after doing it before. And sometimes it falls on deaf ears. That's why we write FAQ documents. But not every FAQ belongs in the FAQ document.

Some questions shouldn't even be asked, because they betray the misunderstanding of the asker and in doing so they may prompt a new chain of even deeper misunderstandings that can only be prevented by heading off directly at the pass and not even entertaining the notion.

Now I'm absolutely not saying this issue is one of those issues in so many words or less. I'm not a keeper of the vision for Hashi. But I am saying, as far as selection algorithms go, if you wanted to pick a PR that would be likely to get merged...

Well, sure, you could do much worse than:

> a pull request fixing the six-year-old, number-one-most-popular feature request on the issue tracker

But I am saying that understanding that this PR having gone un-merged for 6 years in spite of being submitted multiple times, might be a signal that this change is not aligned with the intended direction and that it probably won't be merged...

I mean, it could go either way, but accepting that it can go either way, and that includes the possibility that it doesn't turn out the way you hoped, is kinda table stakes when you're dealing with a project that has like a zillion users. I mean, you wrote that big gnarly regex script to solve the issue, didn't you? How many of those things do you think went into production based on the number of people impacted? I'd say thousands. How would you have felt if the next release broke your fixup script but didn't actually solve the issue? (It kinda reads like that's what happened, anyway, so I mean, how does it feel?)

I'm not saying I wouldn't write a 10 paragraph diatribe like this, but I am saying I understand the terseness of the reply. The alternative is falling on one's sword and I don't expect anyone to be doing that for my benefit, and IMHO neither should anyone expect that of any OSS maintainer or anyone else.
Wow. I can't believe I'm on this side of the fence.
yes actually? America literally doesn't use any accents so we write stuff without them. we basically never even use them on cafe, resume, words of that sort. like japanese has no L sound. so (if google translate is to be believed) their exonym for Lithuania is pronounced "Ritoania", and uses an entirely different alphabet.

if you want to learn to use endonyms for countries cool! but most people aren't interested in that level of effort for the whole world. there are ten thousand other things that occupy their minds, every one jockeying for a spot, and this being a passion of yours doesn't change that.

idk why you think there should be any different rules from this, except the general sense of anti-Americanism that seems to pervade this discussion.
Not charging tax isn't the same thing as paying them.
I think the user-friendly way to make programming less one-dimensional is what we usually do, outside of shell pipelines; give names to intermediate values:

do x <- computation1
y <- computation2 x
computation3 x y

...turning a one-dimensional sequence of operations into a data-flow graph represented textually.

But, and perhaps this is an academic question, what if you're stuck in a context where you can only create computations by composing functions in a sequence, without giving names to intermediate results? Shell pipelines, for example, without using temporary files or other tricks.

Then, using this idea of strong and weak monads, and if you were used to thinking of computations as elements of a monad type, you might realize that all you need to add is a "strength" operator, and you would regain the full expressivity of data flow graphs. This operator would take a computation and bundle it with value, producing a new computation that does the same computation, but bundles its result with the extra value you supplied. So you've given every computation a side-channel that ferries any data you like through it, unchanged. Computations further down the chain can access both values.

I lack the imagination to see how this example works out in shell, because there we don't have the luxury of multiple input and output values (just single pipes of data). But it's nice to know that just the strength operation is enough to express arbitrary computation graphs, with names being given to inputs and outputs.
If LLMs are soon to become AGIs they will have as much right to read copyright works as anyone else. Is a post scarcity world where parasitic rent seeking would be pointless something to wish for, or do we consider it harmful?

You're absolutely right about the onboarding process. It's very clear that Shimmer does not provide medical care. I think some people just don't realize that doctors exist outside of medical practices. "MD" is a title earned by completing a medical degree, not a job title. There's no reason to assume someone with an MD is acting in the capacity of medication-dispensing doctor at all times. Medical expertise is clearly relevant for the position of "clinical advisor" for an ADHD-related service. Many, if not most, Shimmer users use coaching as an add-on to first line medical treatments and/or therapy. It makes perfect sense to have someone on board who's well-versed in the medical side of ADHD treatment. Operating an ADHD coaching program without someone knowledgeable in that area would be downright dangerous. I'm glad Shimmer has a MD on their team to cover all the bases.
"too few people for all the jobs, for the most part"
- Are wages going up?

"But almost everywhere else needs people. Badly. Across retail, restaurants, manufacturing, trades, and on and on, companies are struggling to hire. "
- Wow sounds like an exciting star trek future that I cant wait to be part of!

"labor became more expensive than capital"
- So wages must be going up right?

"In essence, the authors show that for automation to have widespread benefits it must deliver high productivity gains to more than compensate for the high displacement of workers."
- the reason why this sentence makes no sense is because it is written in two frames at the same time. One of a planned economy and the other of capitalism.

"We are in a middle zone, however, with AI able to displace huge numbers of workers quickly, but not provide compensatory and broader productivity benefits."
- But what about the horses?

I tried my best to find the central thesis of this rambling multi-tone work. I think it is difficult because it was written with too many different frames.

I'm still not understanding your argument here. If a ML model spits out snippets of copyrighted material and you try to monetize those then that's clearly infringement. But if it ingests copyrighted material and then spits out entirely new content influenced by the originals... how is that an issue?
