The concern is albedo (absorption of incoming solar radiation), not heat reservoir.

Lighter surfaces (snow, ice, clouds) typically reflect more light and heat. Darker surfaces (water, ground, asphalt) absorb light and emit thermal radiation, which is then trapped within the atmosphere by greenhouse gasses.

The atmosphere is differentially transparent to visible-light frequencies (high transparency) and infra-red radiation (low-transparency). That's the essence of what causes greenhouse warming, and we're adding more of the gasses (CO2, methane, and others) which are more effective at trapping heat.

Changes to surface characteristics (such as glacial melting) and atmospheric conditions (cloud formation, with dependencies on whether these are high-altitude or low), as a result of greenhouse-gas induced warming, provide feedback cycles which amplify or dampen effects. Many of the known feedbacks accelerate warming.

That's in addition to other feedbacks such as warming arctic-region permafrost, releasing both trapped CO2 and methane and triggering decomposition which generates more of these, or the "clathrate gun hypothesis", in which frozen and dissolved methane hydrates, themselves exceedingly powerful greenhouse gasses, are released at a rapid and accelerating rate. Among potential scenarios is a runaway greenhouse gas effect where global climates warm far beyond human or biological tolerance, either regionally or globally.

I think the difference is that lithium is being created into a reusable product while oil is mostly made into a consumable, used once.

A good battery lasts years, maybe decades. And in theory it can then be recycled.
Web Design Mistakes of 1999 (1999)
If all women did that, women clothing as they are now would not sell and designers would figure out that women want (real) pockets and begin to design women clothing with them.

GP's point is that women don't do that and in fact do prioritize fashion over function.

> why in the world would decorative non-functional pockets be a staple of so many pairs of women's pants if we didn't like how they look?

Because functional pockets require the pants to be loose fitting, which is not as attractive as more form fitting pants (based on what women and men in society have collectively decided through their actions).
RISC-V is not an open source CPU, it is an open and license-free Instruction Set.

A number of open source RISC-V CPU core implementations do exist -- including the THead C910, currently the highest performance RISC-V CPU you can buy at retail, used in the quad core TH1520 chip (Sipeed Lichee Pi 4A, BeagleBoard Ahead, Milk-V Meles, Roma laptop) and 64 core SG2042 chip (Milk-V Pioneer, an as yet unnamed dual socket board from PerfXLab, others coming soon). But there is no requirement to make RISC-V core open source.

There have certainly been other attempts to create an open ISA or CPU, either from scratch or else relicensing a previously proprietary design.

The problems with them which caused the RISC-V guys to make something new rather than use something existing included:

- unsuitable license e.g. GPL

- 32 bit only (OpenRISC, SPARC)

- all the opcode space already used, no room for future extension

- poor code density or other ISA problems e.g. delay slots

A number of existing ISAs have been made more open since RISC-V was developed, including POWER and MIPS, but have been basically too late and also simply too restrictive and even not irrevocably open e.g. MIPSOPen which was not all that open and was re-closed after just six months (and MIPS make RISC-V now).

It's true that it's very easy to make up your own ISA, but it's hard to get it to be both good and also not similar enough to something else to get you sued.

And once you have your own ISA where does the software come from? Making or porting compilers and operating systems and everything is a task many orders of magnitude larger than designing an ISA or CPU core.
Not quite what you are describing, but sort of in the same space, are SSR heavy frameworks like Next.js. Those solve problems by having the backend do most of the heavy lifting and streaming UI updates to the browser. This makes the browser a thin client instead of a node in a distributed system.

Personally, I think it's a great direction and hope it sticks.

> Why would I trust an advertisement to show me what is the best product vs doing my own research?

There’s 2 forms of information reception: fulfillment and discovery.

Fulfillment is when you know what you want and just need to find the best version of it for you. So you search for “buy ping ping table” and look for one of the right quality and price.

Discovery is when you didn’t even know something was an option for you, but it’s extremely valuable. How can you do your own research when you don’t even know something is a problem? For example, in 90s there were tons of commercials on TV that said “Mesothelioma is a cancer that affects you based on exposure to asbestos, and if you got it, then you can sue and win a lot of money”.
Without that Ad, probably a lot of people didn’t know about their illness and that someone has wronged them and owes them recompense.

There’s a great deal of ads (I argue most) that just try to get stuff in front of people who didn’t know about a thing.

The basement bathroom in Quincy Market is the best option in most of the city.
An interesting thing to understand is that your apartment is "worth" 1.2 only because someone is willing to buy it for that much. Sounds like you are s young family, who are your new neighbors? Are they folks like you or are they the proverbial foreign investor?

Because the way I play this out... imagine you list your apartment for 1.2 but nobody can afford it so it stays unsold. Your neighbor lists for 1.1 and it doesn't sell either because nobody can afford that. Eventually you go oh shit it's never going to sell, lower it to 1.0. You play that game until it's low enough for somebody to afford it.

It's kinda crazy to think about it but the reason homes are so unaffordable is precisely because enough people CAN afford them at this price. So yeah I am curious, who are your new neighbors?
Prices of housing or tswift tickets aren't going up because investors/scalpers, they are going up because again there's excess demand versus supply.

Your entire example is predicated on this very fact: scalpers cannot compel middle age white women to all the sudden want to attend a concert, same way investors cannot induce genz kids to want to move to vancouver.

Make more houses or taylor swift tickets and the whole thing resolves itself.

There was a old This American Life episode which was re-aired recently that covered a court case that possibly changed psychiatric health care as much if not more.

I think you're spot on here. Yes, if one's trying to compare human and GPT intelligence, then you have to define what counts as memorisation and what counts as reasoning. But what most people outside of academia are trying to do is work out whether a GPT can effectively replace a human in some time-consuming task, and to be able to do so without access to the internet is rarely an important factor.
You might find https://www.politicalcompass.org/ interesting. They move it to two dimensions.
Defendants have a right to a jury trial, but can often opt for a bench trial if they want. Conventional wisdom is that the odds of acquittal are better with a jury, outside of unusual cases (eg. an extremely unpopular defendant).

Describing trial by jury as "less modern" is also bizarre, the trial by jury is a specifically enumerated right in the Constitution because of legal abuses in Great Britain in the 1500s and 1600s. It exists to protect defendants by placing the decision ultimately in the hands of members of the community, rather than a single political appointee.
I feel like the main issue is the lack of diversity in browsers more than Chrome pushing forward the interests of its parent company. If we had more than a few browsers, the situation would be less precarious. I would go even further and say that the situation would be better if any developer could just build his own browser in a few weekends. Perhaps internet’s resilience and privacy resides in so many browsers that you cannot possibly control them all. If so, the main issue to solve would not be Chrome but the complexity and herculean task of writing software capable of running the complete web specification.

It's not entirely unsubstantiated, as my experience is that the former is very common. The latter is much harder to observe though, so it's just an impression.

I'm very interested in your assertion that my impression is implausible though. What evidence do you have?
> an owner occupier doesn't own a vacant property - only investors do ... underutilised properties.

They invariably get rented out; you won't make any money for places that sit vacant...
So you'd let the perfect be the enemy of the good and go all-in on Chrome? The way I see it, whatever its imperfections, it's the source of the only non-Safari, non-Chromium browser with basically any market share, and has its derivatives you can choose from. I've seen LibreWolf mentioned several times. And frankly, Mozilla's narrower market scope, to say nothing of their market share, when compared with the behemoth that is Alphabet, make all this immaterial. I can turn all those settings off quite easily. My irritation stems from the unique download identifiers and the occasions when they also make stupid alterations, like that Firefox View thing (which got disabled, of course).
And while certainly not in all cases, it’s at least sometimes their deliberate choice and preference to live a life of zero responsibility.

Maybe, but you are absolutely right, that “snark” is merely a thing out of frustration from people who can not buy houses, while home owners from previous generations have the audacity to lectures the new generation about their “attitude”, attitude will be the least thing to worry about in the near future from these angry young people who can not even afford rent.

There's a lot of speculation here: aviation manages to be simultaneously extremely safe and a cornerstone of the global economy. It's unclear why other modes of transportation can't do the same; more precisely, it's unclear why private cars get put in the "acceptably dangerous" bucket when just about everything else is astoundingly safe (trains, planes, public & private buses, etc.).

(Independently: the bigger reason the FAA and airlines take security seriously is because consumers demand that they do, not just because the planes themselves are expensive. Humans are notoriously bad at estimating risk.)

You aren't able to get access to the 'Open'AI dataset though, are you? Agreed, it would be an excellent addition for comparing source-available models, but that doesn't help with the accusations of OpenAI's foul play nor of the existence of an anti-OpenAI conspiracy.
I think I see your point. Thing is, a C program can be built and executed without that cargo dependency pyramid sandwiched into a gigantic runtime polyp. The whole operating system is your environment, and yes - if ‘man ldconfig’ is not your friend, then maybe pkg-config is, or, worse to worst, link against project-local structure, where you can indeed build the bejesus out of your imagination and ship it. That’s ok. It’s linux, after all.

That’s what we do for embedded systems, anyway. I haven’t seen much success for rust in this department, although people are clearly trying to make it work. It just keeps coming out fat and ugly. A few more decades of hard push, call me a maybe.

Yeah, my experience with this was mostly very positive in suburban and rural areas. Even gas stations in LA for example will often not have restrooms at all. Makes it hard to drive through with little kids who don't have great potty break planning skills yet.

> I think the difference is that lithium is being created into a reusable product while oil is mostly made into a consumable, used once.

Sourcing lithium is something we've been thinking a lot about, whereas we haven't reached peak fossil fuels or scarcity. There are plenty of places to continue drilling: the US, Greenland, the Arctic Circle, Antarctica ...

The problem with fossil fuels is the carbon entering the atmosphere.
There are actually shockingly few context-sensitive templating languages for php and those that exist don't seem that popular (Latte is the main one I'm aware of). Most of them are more of the giant string concatenation type, maybe with escape by default semantics (e.g. Smarty, Mustache).
This is a false binary. Advertising doesn't have to be "manipulative" to be successful. For example, reminding people of something they wanted to do anyway, but forgot, isn't particularly manipulative.

const std::string foo = “.dot file”;

in C++ cannot change after construction, but is not compile time constant. This means that it has to run some code and allocate some memory at runtime.

In contrast constexpr is fully compile time and ends up in the read only portion of the binary. No code code execution or allocations necessary.

The idea behind closing down the mental institutions in the 70s/80s (pursuant to a legal decision about the rights of the mentally ill) was that community-based mental health support should be offered instead. But of course, it never was. For yers mentally ill people were shoved into the prison system; that approach has been abandoned but they've mostly been left to rot on the street instead.

It feels like this lack of proper labeling on alcoholic beverages has also contributed to the explosion of popularity of alcoholic seltzers like white claw in the States as well. The cans are exactly 100 calories (easy to count), say specifically how much carbs they have for keto and have the full nutrition facts label.

Some of the beers in the States have started putting calorie counts on their beer cans when they are specifically marketing to health conscious consumers (Michelob Ultra is an example) but it remains the exception rather than the norm. And why should it be up to the companies? It’s something you’re consuming, why not require nutrition facts like any other food or drink?
Multiply the number of MTBF cycles times the battery capacity. Every battery is consumable, every time you draw current from it, they're not tanks full of liquid, they're chemistry.

That being said they're astronomically more efficient than even an ideal carnot engine.

Although still present, organized crime in Italy was severely curtailed by the maxi-trials (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxi_Trial) of the 1990s--which followed the murders of prosecutors Falcone and Borsellino--trials that sent hundreds of mobsters and those colluding with the Mafia to hard prison for many years.

Mafia, the organized crime syndicate born in Sicily and exported all over the world, was particularly affected by the maxi-trials.
Yes, of course. I'm suggesting that you check it out for yourself and not follow the privacy crowd blindly.

> at some point the calculations become so enormous that the energy requirement approaches infinity.

No, they really don't. You might say that the energy requirement approaches Graham's Number, or TREE(3), and maybe that's somewhat plausible, but Graham's Number and TREE(3) are both minisculely insignificant compared to infinity. If you ever counted that high, you'd be no closer to reaching infinity than you were when you started.

But who says that Graham's Number or TREE(3) are large numbers in the universe doing the simulating? Why would the simulating universe be as incomprehensibly tiny and simple as ours is?

Oh sure, our universe looks big to us. But who are we to judge its size?
I'm describing something I thought was salient. This was a passage of time issue, but it was specifically the loss of the ability to temporaily sequence the provenance of recollection. Imagine having a discussion where you couldn't tell if you said something in the previous sentence, or last week. We (apparently) feel this information and use it to guide the process. There was clearly some sort of 'tagging' of memory regarding it's age and how it "should" be used in reasoning, and I lost that. TFA is talking about this sequence being unique to humans.

I felt like I was 102 years old. I wonder how other organisms function without relying upon this appently inate ability.

[0] Boltzmann brains are cognitively unstable, because the logic leading to them says you should expect to be one, but also that they have exponentially increasingly false "memories" the further back they "remember", including the beliefs leading to the conclusion that you probably are one. If all maths is real, this is worse to at least the degree that Aleph one is bigger than Aleph null, possibly more.
