NATO clearly justifies its existence largely as an anti-Russia organization as it denied entertaining the idea of Russia as a member, has an offensive first-strike nuclear doctrine, the US pulled out of the ABM and the INF, installed missile defense systems in former Warsaw Pact countries that are clearly part of a strategy to mitigate Russia's capabilities (when Russia has no aggressive first-strike doctrine and only has a defense of Russian territory first-strike doctrine). Almost all of which happened when Russia was a relative "friend" to NATO when it was doing worse things in Chechnya as part of "GWOT" than it is currently doing in Ukraine, and what it is doing in Ukraine is appalling enough.

A good offense is a good defense, but you leave yourself more open to losses when your opponent is able to effectively fight back. In this case, NATO was perfectly happy to accept those losses because they would be Ukrainian. The world is far worse off as a result.

Edit: I'm going to stop responding to this thread now, as it really is a huge tangent from the original "disinformation" topic. At this point, nobody is arguing about Ukraine/Russia/NATO in order to dispute my points about the use of "disinformation" by VoxUkraine, we're just arguing about Ukraine/Russia/NATO.
As you know the most brutally totalitarian regimes suppress speech that contradicts the views of those in power(edit). The Comparison of the American government’s decision to tamp down on the algorithmic reach of misinformation during a pandemic to a totalitarian regime is neither fair not an accurate; and frankly is hyperbolic.
By coincidence I was walking around Paris today in 30+ degree heat. It was only really bearable in the shade, which the city has a lot of thanks to a good amount of trees lining the sidewalks. It was quite pleasant until we passed a convenience store and the heat and humidity of that part of the street immediately rose to oppressive levels. This was because an air conditioner for the store was venting into the street.

The effect is stark and incontrovertible. There is the heat being removed plus some heat from the compressor and fan. Everyone in public and private spaces will be better off if we reduce AC usage as much as possible in favor of other solutions
Just to be sure, are you proposing killing people today so that they don't die tomorrow?

It’s pretty useless to debate biodiversity and keeping it intact because the real killer is not the temperature increase by a degree or two but the speed.
There's a lot of techniques applied. It's not really "one new revolutionary thing" but a bunch of things and research over the past 20-30 years put together to make nanite possible. This video might shed some light https://youtu.be/eviSykqSUUw
You are blithely jumping back and forth between government and the peer review process/academic process. So let me put it to you like this: please show me a democratic country with an anonymous judiciary. EDIT: actually the US has the FISA courts which are effectively secret courts and those are widely understood to be a great harm and totalitarian (rather than democratic).

> Your (incorrect) perception of an overwhelming consensus probably

Did you know that the word consensus does not include the word unanimous? Just like there is a consensus on climate change despite some exceptional crank scientists there is a consensus on democratic processes being open - again i will emphasize that i never claimed there was consensus about whether peer review should be open but about whether government should be (and my own claims about peer review are informed by that consensus).

They really aren't that arbitrary, except for 110, but even that is reasonable given our decimal system:

* Arbitrary but socially meaningful geographic boundary. Basically, a notable US city.

* 1 year intervals are actually canonical given that years are based on Earth's rotation

* Gregorian calendar / starting at Jan 1 is again socially meaningful, but in particular doesn't split summers in the northern hemisphere

* 110 and imperial are sensible given usage of Fahrenheit and decimal systems in the US.

Your comment makes it sound like the article is making a claim equally as meaningful as "at latlng 53.193,38.8493, Earth's temperature has been above 482.3 kelvin for 4 of the past 3952 days" which is really not.

Yeah, there's definitely some "p hacking" to make spin this into a newsworthy headline, but not nearly to the degree your comment makes it seem. And not to mention the issue of "110f in Phoenix" has been newsworthy previously (eg 3 straight weeks of 110+), it makes even more sense.
That was part of it. Another part was that some Floridian voters were illegally denied the right to vote because their names happened to be the same or similar to names on a (poorly maintained, IIRC) list of convicted felons. The privately owned company in charge of maintaining said list was aligned with the Republican party, and most of the felons were African American.
Edit: that may sound like a small number of votes, but in such a close election even a small number can make a huge difference.

Are PV cells really that black for photon energies below their bandgap?

It would be nice if the cells were highly reflective at a range of wavelengths between the range they can actually use and the range where they radiate waste heat.
I think this largely explains it, along with a desire for the UX designers doing something new and "modern".

This explains a lot of user-unfriendly changes in other areas, too. I worked for a prominent travel web company and the army of people in marketing were constantly looking for new sources of "incremental revenue" to justify their work. This led to pop-unders and pages packed with more ads than content.
Hm. Can I just buy two

Glad to hear, I really think it'll go a long way in terms of acceptance.

Never brushing your teeth is a great way for nobody to ever want to smooch you.
The problem is, organizationally, it's a mesh network. If no one is kept on a single product for long, how can a product survive turnover rates when the next shiny object appears? It's a game of musical chairs.
Isn't it funny that the only option is going to be greater government, that forces its citizens to act against their own interests?

The real winner in this situation is government! (Exclamation mark, but I'm not actually surprised.)

You have to wonder whether this is a self-serving agenda for those who run it.
While I appreciate you providing citations, please link to the original sources in the future.

In the case the original source of the first link is page 10 of this: https://ctprodstorageaccountp.blob.core.windows.net/prod-dru...

The first link has been victim of a game of telephone, where the original source had 15kg per T-Shirt, more than half of that was washing costs, assuming 50 hot washes (and this from over 15 years ago when washing machines were less efficient and electricity much less green). 6kg from T-shirt production being their actual estimate.

Is 6kg "a lot"? Depends what you're comparing it to. Worldwide clothing industry in general seems to be around 1% of total CO2 according to the above link.

I would love it if we had a sensible estimate for what the sum of CO2 externalities is, but my understanding is estimates can differ by over two orders of magnitude.
This seems to be both .NET and in the browser, so my first thought was "is this a Blazor (1) issue?" i.e. for .NET targeting WASM in the browser.

It could be, Blazor dates back to 2018 and this bug is from 2019, this is the kind of thing that happens in the early days.

The parent repo name and readme is more informative as to the scope, and confirms that somewhat: https://github.com/dotnet/try

> Welcome to the Try .NET repo. ... Online, powered by Blazor, Users can run and edit code all in the browser.

It's an amusing bug, but not a current or widespread issue.

Sure, we only built gigantonormous infrastructures to measure about everything on every cm of this planet, 10s of thousands of highly qualified experts from all over the world work on this full time and have been saying the same thing for decades, but “there are people” who have “““legitimate doubts”””. Sure.
Because it's always a model, and has plenty of parameters to tweak, there is no "measuring the temperature of the earth at all points at the same time."

There's always assumptions and interpolation
The true genocidal policy is to continue dumping CO2 into the atmosphere in increasing amounts. Personally, I feel it is more honest for us to deal with the outcomes of what "we" are doing now, rather than just leaving it for our children to deal with.

Agree with embodied issue. Humans have a large amount of sensory input, from the 'body'. I'd disagree that AI will never have this, considering the large number of sensory technologies that already exists and are being developed.

It only takes wiring them together. Eyes, smells, touch, these are all existing and being refined.

2.

LLMs? AI research is far more vast than just LLM's. LLM's just happen to be the latest shiny thing.

"never"?. That is bold, 5 years ago people said the abilities in current LLM's were a "never", yet here we are.
Weapons of fear is what I'd meant by mass terror, so yes, we're agreeing re: V-1 / V-2 weapons.

Targeting was entirely inertial. The circular error probability (radius within which 50% of launches landed) was 4.5 km. 100% landed within 18 km of target.

Effective countermeasures were limited to destroying or disabling launch sites and misinforming the enemy about target locations.
Our region still has cooling from Greenland glacial melting. The catches are that the reflectiveness is going down and worse ice takes lots of heat to melt but way way less for that melted water to heat further. The previous climate shifts including 5 major extinction event major climate shifts happened over maybe a dozen years. El Nino is just starting now in September the records of the last three months were just when the cool phase La Nina was over before the coming few super heated years. And the civilization collapse tipping point from massive Arctic methane release may happen in the next few years. This climate scientist has been warning of mass human extinction by about the year 2026 for awhile now! https://arctic-news.blogspot.com
It’s 2/3 salt water. Desalinization is resource intensive, and water transport is fraught with geopolitical peril.
I have the Minitel 1B sitting on my desk right now. It's a very warm and comforting device. Something about its compactness and the gentle curve of the screen makes it far more attractive that the MacBook Pro sitting next to it.
From the article:

Most notably, the company enjoyed a generous infusion from Japanese investment firm SoftBank, which injected a whopping $375 million into the startup in 2018. By the end of its lifespan, Zume had raised as much as $445 million.

They actually nearly raised half a bil.
Look around. Everyone on earth wants to maintain a standard of living. Governments are toppled over this.

And yet it is the largest economy that is objectively slowing its share of contributed emissions. And it’s the largest exhibit that is helping to drive the innovation needed to solve this problem, alongside incredible people from all parts of the globe.

I wish we weren’t dealing with this. I wish there had been a better, more cost effective way to grow. Maybe if you or I hadn’t been born, our emissions might lower enough to make the difference.

But I’d suggest now isn’t the time to count scores. We need to stay focused and continue the work. Despite our flaws we are all worth saving.
I believe the data is being collected to help prevent discrimination based on any of those characteristics.
Actually, I misremembered. It was August that got extended in the Julian calendar reform: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_calendar
your test assumes like the OS is somewhat adversarial

This, and it makes the testing easier to reproduce for multiple images. This is useful if one has to perform forensics in dirty sandboxes on a dirty-net on a daily basis but is also useful for comparing the behavior of multiple releases of an OS to see "which one of these is not like the other". Sometimes changes are subtle so it can help to have an external method/device to diff DNS and firewall logs. I find this useful for finding changes that are not clearly documented in git. I should add in fairness to the OS developers it is rarely malevolent but rather they quietly fixed something embarrassing.

DNS logging can also be useful for finding applications that are lazy-coded to not cache results for the TTL specified by the record. I fought many battles ages ago with Java itself, not developer apps on top of Java on this matter.
Yes, I didn't read properly.

I guess you could do some magic to delete "unexpected" files, but are there tools which do solve this problem?
I think the idea is to solve the problem you can solve. Getting police fired is much more difficult than getting information shared.
This is a ridiculously short period for these sorts of claims.
To this day, I can’t read the Joy of Tech comic because I remember their response to Al Gore’s climate activism: “Al Gore is fat, haha”.
Does it matter though? Nothing in this metric indicates a slight of hand by the author.

Picking a year, starting with the first day of said year in the most prevalent format of calendar and then counting days in which it has been uncomfortably hot is exactly the way I would choose to get the point across.

The fact that there exists such a place in the US is probably more important than that this place was choosen because it scored highest in above metric.
It's not belief...This is a pretty accepted fact, the debate amongst the educated is about the speed and causes of the change (man-made vs not)
> I doubt that many people under age 70 remember that personally.

I think OP's point is that personal remembrance, direct knowledge/witness, or subject matter expertise is not a requirement when it comes to defending one's strongly invested world view. Instead of looking at evidence, people start with a vague belief about the world and then draw the lines between everything that happens and that world view.

For example: "There are inscrutable elites that operate in secret to control the world." This is a vague and close to impossible-to-prove assertion, but people believe it strongly, and they use this world view to explain everything they have questions about. JFK was obviously assassinated for going against the Shadowy Elite! If you take your belief as a given, many wild explanations simply follow logically. 9/11 was orchestrated by this Elite to [do whatever The Elite does, there are a wide range of speculation even among the "shadowy elite" believers]. COVID was planned by The Elite. It goes on and on, and everything makes sense when you're working from that one assumption.

If you argue with someone against any of these particular things, you're not going to get anywhere because disproving even one of these calls into question the world view that all his other beliefs are pinned to.

EDIT: Parent commenter I see what you're saying now and yea I totally agree!
To add, 3-body systems have been found which would require sub-Planck precision to simulate. That information doesn't even exist in our universe.
The market dictates what things mean, whether or not we agree with it. Is DevOps a position, a philosophy, a framework? According to the job market it can be any of things. In my experience interviewing for and working in SRE roles, most people are doing exactly what other people are saying in this discussion. A lot of SRE job descriptions are looking for people who do IaC to manage their cloud, handle CICD pipelines, and set up monitoring and alerting, all of which is ultimately a bunch of YAML (or JSON) with a bit of Terraform and Bash or Python.

Anyways, the point is it doesn't matter who is "right" or "wrong" and really we should be treating this role what it's being hired for, and as such education and training should reflect that.
I saw the writing on the wall with Google Domains a couple years ago, and moved to Moniker. Their platform is a little bit slow, but other than that, it's excellent.
But their DNS is free ?
Is it not a better approach, when already assuming semi-niche usage, to rely on more information about the string? e.g.

* Have some of your strings be guaranteed-memoized, then just pass an index into the global/thread-local array of memoized strings.
* In tight loops working on a few strings, ensure they are all short, then forego pointers altogether and just use the values.

etc.
Unfortunately, OSHA will prevent dumpster-diving for that lithium.
I'm fairly sure that living standards will be lowered by floods, fires and other climate catastrophes. Not doing enough to stop CO2 production will result in a lot of lowered living standards, including making some areas of the world uninhabitable without air conditioning etc.
They aren't that close in appearance. Spurges are woodier with flatter leaves and have an irritating white sap. This is not a plant likely to kill you if you ate a small amount of it, it's likely to cause burning/irritation in the mouth if you did make the mistake. Purslane you'll know it's correct if it tastes good, it's one of the best random green plants I've foraged. The only downside it seems to have is kind of high oxalate levels so it should be eaten sparingly or cooked especially if predisposed to kidney stones.

Article describing differences between the two plants: https://lawnphix.com/lawn-care/spurge-vs-purslane-lawn-weeds... unlike mushrooms or potential poison hemlock lookalikes I don't want to discourage foraging this, just take it slow (try small amount of anything new before eating a lot of it) and you'll be fine.
I feel like a lot of the climate change claims are just confirmation bias

Those benchmark outcomes are ridiculously in nginx-unit’s favor over php-fpm, way more than I would have believed was possible. What is php-fpm doing architecturally that is so different to warrant such poor relative performance?
You are just describing a junior position (more or less).

Do you understand the business and can contribute to it? As SRE you can help save cost in production (harder to make money directly by building products or features). That's a way to a more senior position.

Can you automate the task you were given? can you use you new free time to identify where else you can save cost?
There was no try. You just missed it, and are not trying to blame someone else
That is mostly sea/ocean, a lot of desalination would be needed
Well..

Is a year really "arbitrarily chosen"? After all it's defined by our solar system. And for the start date of Jan 01, I would go out and claim, that years are most of the time compared starting Jan 01. It would be much more random to start this record on Feb 20.

Yes one may debate if 110 as the cutof to count days in is "the best choice", but well, it's in the US and we humans like nice numbers ;)

But all these values are not excluding like your example.
It's not the role of the police to be pinning crimes on people, that's the judicial system. The police just collect evidence, and, as I understand it, the Miranda warning just means that there's no "off the record" when talking to the police.

In other words, it doesn't mean "we're going to twist what you say as much as we can", it means "we'll tell the court whatever you tell us, even if that's self-incriminating".

Pretty much what you'd expect, really.

We have terms and languages to express computational complexity, algorithms, temporal logic etc.

But what about data logistics and CPU mechanics?

How good are we at expressing things like memory fragmentation, cache locality, throughput and latency of operations etc? All of these things affect how the machine operates in very real ways, to a degree that often trumps the higher level mathematical concepts above.

I only ever see these things explained in high-level, heuristic terms, observed as a black box or spelled out literally as code.

Is there a language based on how the CPU and memory work that I'm not aware of?
That depends entirely on the culture. Some expect the bride's family to pay the groom (dowry) while others expect the groom to pay the bride's family (bride price). Others are mixed (e.g. in the most common American culture, the groom is expected to pay for an expensive ring, while the bride's parents are expected to pay for an expensive wedding).

Generally, it boils down to economics. If the wife is not expected to be a direct source of family income (as in most of Western society until fairly recently -- it was considered vaguely shameful if the wife had to work outside the home), dowry is more common. If the wife does provide income (as in many African cultures, where the wife or wives do the majority of food production), bride price is more common.

Humans are seemingly infinitely variable in the ways in which they've invented workable cultures (not necessarily what one would call equitable, but workable).

Even if a miracle happens and we get to net zero, warming will continue for decades due to climate lag and feedbacks.
that’s the point if the article

> The American prison system desperately needs radical transformation — abolition, even — and to relish even an unlikeable person's relatively inconsequential suffering under that system is to miss the more important issue underneath.
and who are the World Meteorological Organization?

> The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for promoting international cooperation on atmospheric science, climatology, hydrology and geophysics.

from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Meteorological_Organizat...

Ok - so its the UN. The UN is an UNelected body that presents itself as the face of world government.

> The United Nations (UN) is an intergovernmental organization whose stated purposes are to maintain international peace and security, develop friendly relations among nations, achieve international cooperation, and serve as a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations.
