> The only thing consumers could do is buy less, but life makes that rather hard

Spoiler alert, life is going to get rather hard for a whole lot of people over the next few generations because we’ve been ignoring “the personal responsibility theory of pollution.”
Yeah, there was downslotting back when L5+ came in as MTS.

They got rid of it. I think they changed it to "everyone comes in at L3/L4, and if you're good you'll rapidly get promoted to your true level" around 2012, and then sometime between 2014-2020 it changed to "sure, you can come in at L6+ and we don't really care if you're incompetent".
To paraphrase Bill Clinton: "that would depend on what the definition of "it" was."

IOW "a year with 54 days above 110 degrees" that, as you say, " immediately followed a streak of 36 days above 110F" thus totaling a year with (no less than) 90 days above 110 degrees would be noteworthy.

Perhaps you have experienced such a stretch of days? Which planet?
No, I and many others believe animals have intrinsic worth.

The worst of animals are humans.

There would also be no "privilege" to travel to another planet; it would be a dystopian scenario where humans, due to greed, arrogance, and other moral infirmities, have ruined a wonderful planet given to them, and then will go on to repeat their evil elsewhere.

Sure but battery fires are still a problem that needs to be fixed and not ignored. Also, even though it doesn’t happen often, when it does the results can be catastrophic. So it is a reasonable concern.
This article has more detail on how the 2001 Mount Pinatubo eruption lowered temperatures by 0.6°C : https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/1510/global-effects...

There are two mechanisms.

1. The SO₂ combines with water to form aerosol droplets which scatter and absorb incoming sunlight.

2. These droplets break down or drop to Earth over 1-2 years. Which means that if something unforeseen happens it will be gone pretty soon.

Also, while SO₂ in the lower atmosphere causes acid rain, the stratosphere is above all that.
Even with the unprecedented Ukraine war wiping out Dutch gas reserves (the real reason why we want Russia to lose the war) the grid never for a minute stopped functioning. Sure the Netherlands has basically unlimited financial reserves to throw at any crisis but so does America. What the fuck is wrong with Texas?

Yes truly strange to find a discussion about the American city of Phoenix here on this website given that the US “only” has 4% of the world’s population.
So we can save the world by all becoming Dutch (biking) or Singaporean (public transport) vegans who never travel further than a few 100 km?

Boom, all problems suddenly solved?

You might want to run the numbers on that one some more.
Thank you for the details, I have read similar reports about temperatures not changing that much later on.

One thing to keep in mind though are aerosols, which can bump the temperature up by a 0.5-1 C (afaik) if we stop emitting them.
GCP is still retaining domain registration as well. The backing registrar is changing, but the Google Cloud Domains product is unaffected otherwise.
It’s extremely depressing that you can’t have more than a couple paragraphs’ discussion without extremism kicking in. No, thinking people shouldn’t drive a 2-ton vehicle for 40km to buy 200g of Wagyu every other day is not the same as planning mass murder. Your comment is inflammatory and delusional.
I used Hover for personal domains and email for a while. It was fairly priced and reliable, and I also got decent chat support when I was migrating off it (to AWS for domains and purelymail for email--just for convenience reasons since I'd already started using those services for other stuff). They have some cute novelty TLDs too, which is nice.
So nowadays I use google domain's feature of easy email forwarding (forward some xxyyy@mydomain.com to a personal email). Is there an alternative provider that can do that?
I rather have:

{
"responseMessage": "Reconfiguration done.",
"responseCode": 133,
"isSuccessful": true
}

This way you can map to a custom message on your front-end based on the responseCode whether its successful or not, you can fallback to the response message if no mapping is found, and you can easily check if the transaction was successful or not.

I’m starting to see this as a feature. AWS makes you pay per-request for a lot of things, but in my mind it makes those services sustainable.

Maybe I’ve just been bitten by the promise of “free” or really cheap services either imploding or suddenly changing their billing model over the years.

If there was always only one top-level field and everything else was inside that, it could be externally tagged, but it’s definitely just untagged here, because #/components/examples/errorInvalidJson/value (line 4397) shows an error body with multiple top-level fields: {"error":"Invalid JSON.","detail":"…","location":{"offset":0,"line":1,"column":0}}. Externally tagged would be {"error":{"message":"Invalid JSON.","detail":"…","location":{…}}}.

Spotify has made a lot of changes in the last 2-3 years and most of them have been bad.

A couple of instances come to mind. The first was with CarPlay. They went from list of thing (playlists, podcasts, etc.) that you click on to get to a new section to a home page with a row of useless tiles and a "view all" that is difficult to get to if using something like a scroll wheel in a BMW. Thankfully the feedback was so bad that they reversed the decision. They made the mistake of thinking that everyone with a touchscreen in their car uses it.

The second is everything related to podcasts. Podcasts and music need to be completely isolated from one another because the method of browsing and maintaining are completely different. To this day there is no way to simply view a list that has all episodes for podcasts you follow and sort by recently updated. There is a "new episodes" thing that exists but if you click on something and back out it gets removed from the list. This assumes it is even updated, because clicking into loads from cache rather than doing a refresh. The only safe way to get an updated list of episodes is by hard closing the app and then re-opening it.
Yup the chip surge isn't anywhere over due to geopolitics and demand, both of which are serious driving forces now.

This is also a good one, except that there's already 100s of millions of research papers that need to be summarized. But probably we can ask the audience / researchers themselves to verify summaries once we produce a summary for a particular paper
Any games built with this
This. There’s no demonstration of any game made with this “game engine”. The benchmarks are some matrix multiplication and unimpressive message passing.

There might be some cool data container ideas or primitives. Those could have useful applications. But it isn’t really a “game engine”. Nor does it seem like an interesting way to build one.

“Need” = decide right? They want to reuse the existing radiators, but it comes with a bunch of disadvantages. You either need to replace the radiators with modern low-temperature convection radiators or place radiator ventilators. Air/water heat pumps are better suited for floor heating. You often can’t cool either, at least not with hybrid heat pumps, or you can cool a limited amount in this ever hotter getting climate.
Is it fixed or not? I cannot confirm because I cannot reproduce
If you've ever tried to build an app like this, the pause lengths are actually pretty good. Because you have to recognize the end of the user's speech, send it to the LLM, wait for the LLM to finish replying, then send that to the speech engine, wait for that to process.
If you’re using a Stalker client, a VPN would be a wise move.

Indeed, some resellers block UK IP addresses so, in order to subscribe, you have to have a VPN to start with.

Something that may also be of interest and perhaps out of date, is that the “big” Stalker server (containing > 9000 TV channels) that the resellers use is/was based in Russia.

Back in early Covid lockdown times, this could be brute forced by using MAG 250 style MAC addresses until you got a valid response. You could then set your Kodi Stalker Client to that address. It took a minute or so to get one.

The JFK assassination still remained a secret?
- "The journal Science even published a piece on the question, in June 1946, on the eve of the US's post-war tests in Bikini Atoll. It stated that not only "non-scientists" are "disturbed over the prospect" of planetary ignition."

Huh: that linked Science piece is actually not correct. Its safety argument is that nuclear fission of silicon and oxygen, the most common elements in the Earth's crust, are endothermic. That's true. It's also backwards: the actual problem is that nuclear fusion of light elements is exothermic, and in fact self-sustaining under certain conditions (extreme mass density).

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.103.2687.760.a

The piece doesn't touch nuclear fusion at all. Was the expert not aware of it? He should be: he's discussing (astrophysical) novae as an analogy – and those are precisely runaway thermonuclear fusion detonations. (Didn't they know that in 1946?)

To be fair, he does clearly disclaim in that piece that he isn't a nuclear physicist. Still: it's remarkable that it's totally wrong, given the severity of the question it's attempting to answer (and the authoritative platform it's published in).

> we should crash the economy if it can slow down climate change

This really shouldn’t be the top comment on this thread without some sort of reference to cost/benefit analysis to back it up.

Otherwise this appears to be an overly extreme solution to give climate deniers fuel to not listen to more reasonable solutions.

I think we will redesign it in a way Apple Books does this (they also have a streak)
The costs are known, the competition is high, the margins are low. You still have to deal with support/abuse. There is no real “high volume customer”.
If you want the process to be sustainable then it has to be reversible. Burning 1000W worth of fuel only to spend >1000W of electricity to remove it from the atmosphere and turn it back into fuel is clearly a net cost compared to just using 1000W of electricity to cook your food. Or less than that with non-inductive methods, since electric heat pumps can produce more than 1000W of heat from 1000W of electricity by removing some of it from the environment.

A non-sustainable process that converts fuel to CO2 and then into a solid or liquid that isn't fuel could theoretically have positive efficiency, but it is by no means guaranteed to (especially when the competition is heat pumps), even if it did by a small margin it could still cost significantly more, and it implies that you're eventually going to both run out of fuel and convert it all into an enormous amount of industrial waste.
does it involve running supervisor inside the container? that’s fine but it’s definitely not kosher.

The cleanest way to do it is essentially "make install". You do all the heavy build steps into a build directory, and then the final stage is to delete the "output" directory and copy all the files you need there. Incremental builds should still be pretty fast since the only repeated action is copying files (and you could link them if you want instead).
Glad to hear that was findable with a bit of digging! I was happy to discover that the Fn key on my Lenovo IdeaPad generated the 'XF86WakeUp' keycode so I was able to assign all sorts of behaviours to it with all combinations of modifiers. Great to have an extra non-modifier key on the bottom row!
Depends where you live. I live in Vancouver, BC, and the effects here are very, very significant. It used to be that wildfire smoke in the city was super rare, but for the past ~10 years there’s been massive amounts of smoke in the city almost every summer. Weeks each summer where the air is filled with smoke, your throat itches non-stop, and it’s not healthy to be outside for extended periods. Virtually everyone agrees this is due to climate change, and it’s a pretty major negative impact on quality of living here, and pretty much everywhere along the west coast of North America.

Or another example, that I don’t have personal experience with - island nations dealing with a big increase in hurricane severity and/or frequency also have very visceral experiences of climate change.

This is very poor reporting indeed. BI claims this spreadsheet "gives us our best look yet at how much the tech giant is paying" despite the data being entirely self-reported by employees and completely unvetted. The odds that sample in the sheet is representative of the broader population are vanishingly small, even if the data were accurate.

Perfect example is the report that "The employee with the highest base salary reported being a level 7 software engineer with a base salary of $718,000 and a total compensation package of just under $800,000."

I suppose there might be some engineer making $720k in base and $80k in bonus/equity combined, but I've never heard of such a thing. There are obviously errors in the data. Yet BI doesn't question the data at all.
