> The up/down cycle, over the last 800K years has been somewhere in the range of 50K up and 100K down for a 100ppm change. Why did it go up when humanity wasn't even around (or was a rounding error)?

My point is that for hundreds of thousands of years, CO2 stayed within a 100ppm range. Then in 70 years it shot up 140ppm, consistently, year after year, tightly correlated with fossil fuel usage. That is way outside the the historical record.

Anyhow yes of course there are natural forces that cause variation, and likewise artificial forces. In this case the artificial forces (specifically fossil fuel burning, but also others) are very obviously dominating.

Your problem is that someone has told you to think that everyone is indoctrinated, and therefore you won't listen to really basic logic.

Road design sends signals to drivers: wide lanes and other design choices make a road less cognitively stressful, and so you speed up. It feels like you should be able to move a bit faster, and so you do. If the posted speed limit doesn't feel right, drivers will ignore it.

The answer is to take that into account with traffic calming measures[0] that alter the street design and make it more stressful for drivers. Narrower lanes, big trees overhanging the street, small traffic circles, pinchpoints, and other measures making driving fast very uncomfortable. You feel like you need to pay more attention, and drivers naturally slow down as a result.

Ask HN: 6 months later. How is Bard doing?
I rarely see it mentioned and Google seems to have forgotten it as well. The name "Bard — an experiment" sounds like it'll be pulled down any moment.

I’m just unclear why you care. John wants to be called John. He also would prefer you refer to him as a “him”. Neither takes any effort whatsoever, and both are entirely polite. Neither requires anything from you that you wouldn’t otherwise be doing.

That seems to be generally a US thing. Many of my colleagues from Texas, Washington and Virginia tell distance in minutes/hours that they (would have) spent driving. It's always funny to ask how far away someone lives and they answer "it depends". They mean that it depends on the traffic but I imagine that they live close to an orbiting massive object which curves the space.
I don't think signal is an especially special case. While it may be clear and obvious to you which apps are which, I think that the reality is that its never a clear delineation.

Politicians need to communicate that an iPhone would be over a billion dollars if we only made 50 of them, and they still have bugs.

It costs money to keep a supply chain going for rare items.

Maybe a smarter approach is to build broadly useful factories that can switch on a dime during times of war, but no one has figured that out.

The thing about expensive tech that gives you an advantage is that random consumers can’t afford it.

Yeah, I try to make sure I go out to a cafe a few times a week but I can't remember the last time a stranger approached me to just chat (actually, yes I can but it was a very odd story. And Pre-pandemic). And going to a park as a single male to chat up random adults sounds like a recipe for disaster.

I actively seek to buy products containing Palm oil. Why?

From my understanding. Saturated fats are highly stable and the other ones sold are not and therefore require more processing. In the end, and due to reasons too long to write here, I believe saturated fats are the healthiest alternative for use in packaged products.

We’re being funneled into eating these polyunsaturated fats that in their on the shelf state, have no resemblence to anything humans have eaten in the past.

It’s not like were homomodernus, were still homosapien and it’s gonna take millennia for the human race to adapt to these foods. Not 10 years because climate change told us so.

Possible, but it's far from glamourous. Boat life isn't as much as tourism as it is bluewater boat maintenance. You either spend thousands on crap work or do crap work yourself. You have to monitor weather, anchor, batteries, fridges, water every day. If you have stowaways that are on vacation then it's even harder as you are always pulled to have fun (ever tried to travel while working with someone who doesn't have to?)

For any threat that considers the flight routines of the military, they assuredly have intel that will make them aware of this. Even down to a source by a base saying "huh, no flights took off today, odd."
If they could afford that they wouldn’t need jobs. They’d need to hire a bunch of new workers.

What is with these ellipses
True. Though "cashless" payment does not lack for chargebacks, fraud, and other costs.

And, at least around where I live (SE Michigan), the "bottom line" difference between the two is large enough that gas stations often give a ~3% discount for paying with cash, and more than one little grocer I go to has a sign up - "Please pay in cash if you are able. We lose X% to the bank if you pay with a credit card, and Y% with a debit card."

I wonder what other institutions are infested with swarms of gadflies that'll all swear up and down in unison that something is definitely good or bad, will attack outsiders with narratives that disagree with their own, and weaken the credibility of the entire institution in the process.

I'm married to an exec and I can tell you both that

(a) The stress is very real, and
(b) It's not self-created, it arises due to the responsibility and magnitude of decision-making coupled with having to deal with other execs that are promoted beyond their ability yet somehow still have absolute faith in their ability to lead and execute despite their limited experience, worldview, or both, and
(c) It seems to be about the same amount of stress as those worrying about tight finances, but less than those worrying about where the next meal is coming from.

Having said that the majority of CEOs that my spouse and I have worked for cannot find their asses with both hands but a minority of them have been incredibly good and well worth the compensation they were paid.

I guess in our minds the doctor has already inspected the body before you get there (that's why it's at their house).

> Someone, when questioned vaguely about the "night of the party" first said the deceased died and then when questioned more closely said collapsed.

Can you elaborate why you think this is suboptimal? In my mind, this seems consistent with how interrogations go - people make assumptions (he died) until you press them further (oh, I only saw him collapse).

> There's a component of information discovery here that should be rolled out to each character. The doctor should not have information before the discovery of the information.

We're actively working on this as part of the framework :)

Thank you for the feedback.

This is some of the most disingenuous crap I've read in a while. Flip it on its head:

"If c-suite really only cares about $ spent on labor, they would accept the productivity outcome of their salary proposals to employees. But they don't. They want to get more productivity, just like the workers of [insert competing corp], while not changing or even reducing comp."

The reason your comment is disingenuous is that it assumes that the best place for this money to go is into c-suite/board pockets, and for some reason assumes that workers wouldn't take the couple extra grand the CEO pay split would give them. I challenge any CEO to put it up to a (non-binding, don't shit yourself) company-wide vote.

But let's disregard the salary split. It is an incredibly simple-minded way of approaching what to do with millions/year. Are all of you, who justify these ridiculous ratios, truly unable to think of ways to spend dozens of millions of dollars to improve all employees' qualities of life? Those who spend all this money on consultants to figure out how to squeeze an extra penny of profits can't figure out how to further optimize the health of the workforce instead?

Cue the comments about "no choice, fiduciary duty". Makes me sick.

Bard is actually pretty good when it responds from my experience. I definitely prefer the way it outputs results much more compared to chatgpt and it does provide sources / a UI linking to relevant material quite often. It is also searching the web for the latest info which is definitely felt in it's output. However, it often says "I can't help with that" even for relatively simple queries which makes it a little annoying to use.

In my opinion, it seems like Bard is more a test-bed for chat based search UI. I've also gotten AI generated results in the main Google search which is what I presume will be the main rollout. If executed well, it'll probably change the landscape in terms of AI assisted search.
This is mostly just how the Marine Corps fixes fuckups. LCpl Schmuckatelli gets one hooker pregnant and suddenly the entire battalion has their 96 canked, we’re all having 0700 safe-sex safety briefings Saturday morning, and Doc is handing out condoms.
Bard writes small programs. Will never write an OS like OS/2 or DOS or Windows 10. Don't expect too much from it.

I agree bash is not the best choice security-wise, but language choice is a bit beside the point with regards to whether or not to bundle a server.

That's very valid, though the discussion was about having a reduced attack surface from adding a custom server.

Thanks for that.

> sshd accepts environment variables specified by AcceptEnv in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. By default, they are mostly related to locales.

That seems to be a Debian-specific patch. Upstream doesn't include AcceptEnv in the default config file and there seems to be no default value. Your example commands fail to set LC_ALL on my system. `ssh -o SetEnv=LC_ALL=...` also fails.
Is not a shame (currently, in the 80's it was a different history), but you can reduce your scope and alienate part of your potential audience.

Pet Shop Boys often write deceptively simple lyrics with a lot of hidden context. Without webs like this page, most of the context, can fly over the radar for non gay people, and the same song, referenced locations etc, will mean also different things to non UK people. Kings Cross is just a song about a train station, Right? If you force the context as gay by default, some songs turn much more clear, but also smaller, less universal, and less accessible to non gay people.

But we talk also about a group that have strong links with computers and nerd life. Computer graphics in the Liberation video for example were notable for a 90's videoclip. nobody was doing that in pop. They even appear in the Tetris film

I’ll join the others in chorus recommending an in-person attendance to the Van Gogh museum.

I attended after enjoying another classic Amsterdam experience, munching through a potent hash brownie. Despite giving myself the recommended enjoyment and recovery time, the effects really kicked in just as we entered the Van Gogh Museum.

It was brilliant!

My beautiful wife abandoned me, because my absorption in some of the works made her fear we’d be kicked out.

And pertinent to this thread, I maintain from that experience that Wheatfield with Crows (https://www.vangoghmuseum.nl/en/collection/s0149V1962) is also an Impressionist self-portrait of sorts. Harder in digital form to spot the cloudy eyes, crow-black eyebrows, and wheaty-beard - but if you get to Amsterdam, or Paris where it’s about to go on tour, get yourself as close as possible and see if you see what I see!
I don't know why the military can't learn from a string of failed systems going back to at least the '80s.

1. Make Tough Requirements

2. Get Prototype

3. Prototype attracts some interest

4. Now the brass additionally wants capabilities X, Y, Z

5. Prototype now costs twice as much and is more failure
prone, and actually less mission-capable due to all the bolt-ons

6. Program costs goes up due to all the changes

7. We can't afford this!

8. Cut unit acquisitions by 50%

9. Wait? Our unit cost just nearly doubled because the real costs were all in design/R&D?

10. Now we REALLY can't afford this.

11. Cut orders by another 75%

12. So finally approximately 10% of the original order actually gets built, at a total program cost 2 or 3x what it was supposed to be, and a unit cost that's massively huge.

13. Program fails in the mid-to-long term due to maintenance costs and falling spares inventory.

HBO did a great made-for-TV movie on this called the "Pentagon Wars", which while fictionalized is only about 20% actually made up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ir0FAa8P2MU

>Since going to church/temple became uncool, so did going to the clubs. We've replaced it with social media.

1) it's not about being "cool". I have no issues with religion, but I am not religious and I see no reason to go to a religious institution to meet people who skew religious. It's that simple.

2) clubs are around without churches but have the same issues: they tend to be aimed at the youth. And we're unfortuantely past the days where having a single adult around a bunch of minors is simply okay and considered completely platonic.

3) You must be in a very high CoL area because the church clubs I saw growing up were nowhere near as fancy as ski and scuba.
Evolution and adding complexity aren't the same thing. For example, evolution can also work in reducing complexity. Animals that spend generations living underground in caves will lose their eye sight over a long enough time period.

But what about the harm that does to the shareholders?

I wish I were being facetious, but while a lot of scummy people and companies own shares, a lot more just move cash in various forms out of the company into independent entities. If the company has all its assets seized by some mechanism, presumably all the large shareholders: pension funds, 401ks, etc are subject to even more penalties and there are no assets or even potential future income to compensate them. Essentially you get the Great Recession or Enron effect where large numbers of retired or near retirement people suddenly no longer had pensions or retirement savings.

Your only real option is to charge all the individuals involved and send them to jail, and fines for everyone and everything else - though the fines for the company have to be more than the potential profit by a large amount.

Otherwise you run into a problem where say one person working for the company wants a bonus and realizes a fraudulent listing would get him that bonus? In your model that one person functionally bankrupts the company vs fining and jailing that person and fining the corporation for failing to ensure adequate controls on entries to the orange book.
You are literally describing the fundamental problem of truth in philosophy and acting as if it's different because a computer is involved at one step in the chain.
>and the towns that can't afford that industry or don't have anything particularly commercializable to sell get left in the dust.

What's wrong with this? If a town doesn't have anything to offer, then why does it exist at all? And why should anyone outside the town be supporting it to help its continued existence?

The western US is full of "ghost towns": towns that used to exist back in the 1800s during the mining boom then, but when the mines dried up, so did the towns. The people all left and the town fell back to nature. These days, there's usually nothing left besides building foundations, if that. Small towns these days that have nothing left to offer should go the same way.

We in the US enjoy a feature of capitalism known as income inequality. If you take that into perspective, and understand the total personal income in 2022 was $21.8T, then $33T of debt is not such a big number. It's only 50% more than the total income. [1]

If everyone paid 100% income tax it would be paid off in 1.5 years. So typically you could increase taxes by 15% and pay it off in 10 years -- assuming, of course, you can keep congress from earmarking their way to political ecstacy.

Another approach is to reduce congressional spending. We subsidize the oil and farming industries heavily -- for reasons. But if you believe that the market is the most efficient use of resources, then ask yourself, why should congress choose the winners? Removing oil and farm subsidies would be ~$50B/year right there.

Also it's worth noting that people typically can buy houses worth 2.5x of their annual income.

It is easier than that.

Issue nine shares of stock for every one outstanding, and split it evenly between victims (if applicable) and a new public offering.

Make sure the victims have 90% control of the company after that, by giving them multiple non-transferrable votes per share. Also, make sure they are organized enough to vote as a block (to replace board members, etc).

If a town has nothing to offer, then why exactly does it need to continue to exist?

>If the goal was to transfer some of Tokyo's tax income to towns that need it more, why not just do that, without all the complex bureaucracy and inefficient loss of tax revenue?

Who gets to decide which towns need help, and which towns are left to wither and die? This way, regular people decide which towns actually have some appeal and send their money there. Towns that have no appeal can go by the wayside. Just because a town existed in the past doesn't mean it needs to continue to exist. The population is falling and people are moving to cities because it's more economically efficient and there's more opportunities there. These towns have outlived their usefulness.
So CEOs can definitely wreck a company, but they’re all interchangeable? Not sure I follow.
