This is why the production of plastic needs to switch to using atmo carbon.
Your ignorance hides wisdom and an unexamined assumption in classical mathematics.

The problem is what does existence mean?

Classical math includes "procedures" with processes based on absolute truth. They avoid paradox only because you cannot reason about the reasoning process itself. The result of this is simpler arguments, but we must accept the existence of things that we can never, even in principle, write down.

Now let's change existence to mean that mathematical things only exist when we can write them down. (Classical mathematics calls this the constructible universe.) So procedures must be computer programs. Real numbers are represented computer programs that produce a sequence of rational numbers converging at a known rate. An enumeration of real numbers is a program that produces a list of programs that themselves represent real numbers. And so on.

Now try Cantor's argument. We start with an enumeration of the real numbers. A program that creates a list of programs. We then construct a new real number as per Cantor. So far so good. And, as Cantor said, the new real number cannot be on the enumeration. Cantor now concludes that there are more real numbers.

BUT his conclusion is now false! I can easily write down a program that lists every possible program. Ones that crash. Ones that run forever and never stop. And, yes, ones that represent real numbers. It is a countable list. And our new real is on the list!

The problem isn't that there are too many real numbers. It is that you can't decide whether or not a given program represents a real number without solving the halting problem. So every enumeration has a choice - it either includes things that aren't real numbers, or it misses some real numbers. But all the things that can be real numbers are on a countable list!

The only sense in which there can be "more" real numbers in classical mathematics is that we accept the "existence" of numbers whose claim to exist is extremely tentative. And we do so with decision "procedures" that depend on decisions made based on unverifiable absolute truths.

If you want a sense of how different mathematics looks if you don't do that, look up Constructivism.
Unless it was patented or the code copied, it's unlikely that it's illegal. But I'm not a lawyer.
I'm a minimalist but I don't think that well designed necessitates "mostly text."

The main concepts that I look for are:

- Speed / performance - does the website load and finish rendering quickly?

- Focus - does the website guide my eye & attention to the most important/relevant information first? Or does it instead distract me with superfluous information.

- Accessibility - This is a broad topic that doesn't just only mean "friendly for screen-readers." It includes things like: is the website easy to read and navigate? Does it not interfere with native browser functionality (websites that prevent the right-click context menu or do not play nicely with the back button are not accessible IMO). This is all in addition to being accessible for special needs users.

- Intent - similar to focus but more specific to message and communication: do I immediately understand the purpose of this website and what value it offers me? A lot of marketing websites, IMO, completely fail on this point for me.

There's probably more, but I think the above describes the general categories. As I try to think through other examples they tend to fit nicely as a sub-point/example of one of the above.

I really don't think those graphs make that case, although it seems they are trying to.

Organic cotton is ahead of plastic for greenhouse gases after 149 uses. That's a small number of uses for a cotton tote bag, which should last several years of daily wear. That means that from the 150th use you are reducing greenhouse gases every time you take the bag out, while potentially still net polluting in a couple of other ways.

But greenhouse gas emissions are by far the most critical and potentially catastrophic environment issue. If we can effectively and reliably lower greenhouse gases while causing a few extra rhino deaths or depleting the ozone layer marginally, we should enthusiastically seize that opportunity.

Given this, the "average over all pollution types" seems particularly useless and intentionally misleading here. That number literally cannot be coerced into meaning anything that should affect your decision making process.
Some Q:s

#1 What's the rationale behind favoring recent blog updates? In my experience, recent updates make the weakest search results, more prone to updates and link breakage, and overall tend to be of lower quality. I also wonder if promoting recent content might incentivize pumping out low-quality entries to increase the odds of being listed.

#2 In dabbling in the domain I've always ended up with an almost absurd skew toward technical programmer:y blogs. While there is a strong overlap between the cohort with a blog, and the cohort with programmer interests, I feel it would be more inviting to other groups if other interests were better represented. Is this something you've thought about, and if so, what do you think might be done?
That wasn't under debate.

How do the cotton bags lead to freshwater eutrophication and terrestrial acidification? Is that just from the production of the bags?

I always thought moving away from single use plastic was meant to be environmentally friendly in that it reduced the pollution caused by disposing of the single use items. I thought everyone knew the production costs were higher including from an environmental perspective of things like greenhouse gas emission and water use. Sometimes different environmental goals are in conflict with each other.
GPT-4 handles The Bible like a champ:

Prompt: Discuss the idea in The Bible that for everything is a season

The concept that "for everything there is a season" comes from the Book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible, specifically Ecclesiastes 3:1-8... (edited for brevity)

What did Jesus mean when he referred to the lilies of the field?

Prompt: The reference to the "lilies of the field" comes from the New Testament of the Bible, specifically in the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 6, verses 28-30 (NIV)... (edited for brevity)

Unless I'm misunderstanding, doesn't OpenAI have a very vested interest to keep making their products so good/so complex/so large that consumer hobbyists can't just `git clone` an alternative that's 95% as good running locally?
You're not the first to think that to yourself :)

Maybe I'm missing something but I've never understood the point of composting.

- It's a hassle.

- You can buy good compost for very little at the hardware store that's produced at industrial scales

- Landfill space is not a precious resource in most parts of the world

- Your garbage will still turn into compost, just in a landfill

Where is the upside?

Definitely interesting, but clearly shows the cheap plastic reusable bags, which hold 2-3x as much as the disposable ones, repay their environmental cost about as fast as their actual cost. Which is very quickly.

That's the same as using the outdoor pool in an aquapark in winter, which I enjoy doing because... there's almost no one there at that time of the year!

I loved the new plastic bags in California ever since they came out. Those old weak bags always ripped and tore. Had no idea the new ones were reusable! They make much better trash liners than the old ones.

FWIW - I wouldn't call them "stupid computer squares", but I would be even more snarky and sarcastic and say "Oh... I thought I visited a restaurant, not fast food / door dash / uber eats. Am I in the wrong place? So sorry!" :P

Seriously - if I want food efficiently and robotically, there are many ways to obtain that. If I'm going to a restaurant with my friends, it's to pay too much money for a modicum of a social experience :P.

I don't want to spend first 5 minutes trying to get QR code to work, then next 10 minutes trying to read a menu on 5" screen (usually with poor scrolling and ads and whatnot, sometimes they make me install an app I'll never use again, etc), then another 5 min trying to order on a phone. I do not want to pay for anti-social experience. I DEFINITELY don't want my kids to try to figure out their food on my phone :D

I may be a cranky old grouch, and you're welcome to roll your eyes at me, but gimme a 20" menu rather than a poorly made bespoke 5" app :-/

My problem isn’t with affording a replacement, but with Apple providing such terrible service. Allowing this to drag out, potentially more than 2 months, is crazy to me. They’re 1.5 months in a giving “some day” timelines. This would never be acceptable elsewhere, and it shouldn’t be here.

The easiest policy decision to fix this would be to stop making housing such a guaranteed (literally, in many cases) investment. Big firms will chase their yields elsewhere if home prices were allowed to go down or even be stagnant for a long time.

And while we're at it, let's implement a Georgist land value tax, so that gains in the value of the land itself, which nobody affects directly in a vacuum, does not inure to the landowner, be it BlackRock, The Rock, or your average Joe.

I'm just stating I don't see it as an "ad free" site which I understand to be like most of the other websites mentioned. I don't see me as being pedantic but OP playing fast and loose with definitions.
You can see examples of this in all parties over many years. In a few cases you can find an example of people who decide to care, but overall if the corrupt person is mostly on their side humans will ignore corruption as "just a minor thing", while corruption on a different side is a major problem.

I hope you take the above and examine everything closely to make sure you are not falling for it. Fight corruption where ever it is found, even if it is on your side.
unpopular opinion in this US-centric forum, but just burn the bags when they end up in the trash. Much of Europe does that. Bags are just hydrocarbons and burning them completely releases nothing but CO2 and water.

Then the landfill ceases to be an issue and we can focus on CO2.

Well, CO2 is a problem, but plastic bags are already more CO2 efficient than any alternative bags given the average number of uses in their lifetime.

Most of the focus was on the website curation. The YT channels were curated from the initial list of sources [1] and then automatically filtered by recency and subscriber count criteria.

That is to say that very little other effort was made to curate the YT channels and we expect the user community will contribute to edit the list.

Also I was under impression that all YouTube channels had ads, so that is why this was not considered as a seperate criterion.

> we have not been locking people up for punishment for quite some time

Whether or not this is true seems kind of beside the point.

All I'm saying as that, for an arbitrary reader, a consequence of determinism is that the morals of "desert" are meaningfully impacted—whether that convinces them against retribution, or buttresses their existing notions against it.
You keep saying that, but so what? Your assertions aren't facts.
A properly funded pension should be a non factor in a city’s finances.

The fact that leaders in previous decades punted costs (unnecessarily) into the future when the city’s economic productivity ended up not being able to afford is the problem, and what we are discussing on how to avoid (by simply not offering deferred compensation).
This is so neat!

As a Texan, I think whats going on in Texas, perhaps controversially is what happens when you have an over reliance on solar and wind as primary power sources. Even in Texas (where wind is basically ever-present) there are times when the wind does not blow.

I think wind and solar are great, and we should build more, but you also need a sizable amount of thermal generation (preferably nuclear) to provide for base load.

I dont think thermal can be replaced readily with gas turbine, battery, pumped storage, or other forms of rapid spin up equipment.

I have the somewhat controversial opinion that things like bitcoin are useful because they create static demand, and by doing so make the excess generation from wind and solar economical, thereby keeping the spot price in the grid high enough that thermal generation is still cost effective to build and operate - I dont think we should be paying them to shut down, they should just be disconnected wholesale from the grid during periods of ultra high demand as a condition of their interconnection to it.
The challenge with "Servant Leadership," like many popular things, is that once it becomes a buzzword objective for "good", it becomes a mask for people who wish for leadership. As a name for a set of particular mindset driven behaviors of leaders, it is great. Performative mimicry of those behaviors without the associated change in mindset is similar to a cargo cult[2], unmoored from the producing virtue it becomes a source of cognitive dissonance.

what does "VPN use seems to have exploded in recent years" mean? I mean, what have you observed? "VPN" means lots of different things.

VPN to company is much more popular with businesses because of WFH and Covid.

consumer VPNs to random providers that advertise on podcasts are way up because of different countries having different video streaming service catalogs and because in the US consumer ISPs are increasingly privacy- and reliability-hostile. there's also a big marketing buzz because scaring people over these things was good for signups, so consumer VPN providers chose to advertise a lot.

>I wholly expect everyone to clone themselves a couple of thousand times

Unless each of those clones can upload the unique experiences to my original self so that the original me gains from those experiences, then what's the point of the clone? Just build a generic robot. The only caveat would be if that clone is just doing boring drone work but solely based on the abilities of the original me, but please, do not upload those mundane experiences back to the original me.

A good use of a clone for me would be to send a clone me to a colony on Mars. Send a fleet of clone me on a multi-generation ship to distant stars. Leave a clone me at work doing whatever, while original me is traveling and experiencing the rest of this globe.

You can also throw in the Bohmians, since you can express at least non-relativistic QM in purely deterministic terms akin to stat mech (it's purely classical uncertainty about your position in configuration space, and there are stat-mech-like arguments for why that distribution should be very close to the Born distribution).
