Well the actual paper he's basing all of this is here:

https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/202...

The authors of the paper suggest a +0.15 Wm−2 radiative forcing and give the radiative forcing increase due to CO2 form 1996 to 2005 as +0.26 Wm−2.

This seems to provide an explanation of a huge jump in temperatures non expected by current CO2-only models.

Why this effect would not have been seen in the summer of 2022 I don't know, nor seems the authors of the paper or the liked article address it.

Also the author says this effect may dissipate in 5-10 years at which point the expected warming from CO2 would "match" the current temperatures anyway so there's no real 'cooling' to be expected.
Server sockets have more memory channels and server motherboards usally have more memory slots. Layout limitations probably make ram on four sides not very feasible.

But, more memory channels means more pins and larger sockets, and that adds cost and layout issues for motherboards. HBM ram that attaches on top of the cpu addresses the layout issue (and the bandwidth issue), but interferes with heat removal and removes expandability. Apple makes it work, but they limit clock speeds and were never big on expandability. Intel and AMD have a hard time in the market when their top consumer chips don't clock to the moon, even if the last 10% of clock speed takes 50% of the power and delivers 5% of performance (percentages made up). Server chips don't need to clock so high, so AMD can release clock limited compact cores that have about the same IPC in a bit more than half the area, and the difference in clocks for a max-cores regular zen4 and a max-cores zen4c isn't too much (L3/core is half for zen4c though, so may not be a benefit depending on your working set)
Ok! thanks for the clarification
> mostly I was just responding to the implication that gasoline is a product of the market: "Prices go up and down in response to crude oil prices and other factors."

Are crude/gasoline prices not a product of the market? I guess you could argue that it's not the true market price because you could always compare it to the counterfactual price where there's no government involvement in oil production whatsoever, but the government is effectively hands-off when it comes to pricing. It might have policies to promote oil production/trade, but prices are set by interactions between market participants (ie. supply and demand) rather than some sort of government board.

>I'll accept that gasoline isn't regulated, but it's hardly laissez faire pricing: the government frequently steps in to squash market pricing. There's a reason you don't see an 88-cent swing in gas prices as your drive across town (88 cents being the historic margin between wholesale and retail)

Maybe that's because gas station have similar business models and expenses, which means nobody can charge a $0 markup on wholesale, and competition between stations means that nobody can charge too much above that?

>Note that during this exchange you've completely ignored the fact that many states are electricity deregulated. At this moment I can pick from dozens of providers with an array of pricing plans.

Actually if you read this exchange carefully I never claimed that electricity had regulated pricing, only the existence of government price boards (in general, not specific to electricity). :^)

> Editing multiline inputs is awful.

Outside of "line at a time" i/o (a rarely used mode where an entire line is edited locally and then sent to the host), most of what users see is as interactive is controlled by the program you are interacting with. The terminal just takes commands from the host and does what it is told. BTW, line at a time mode isn't used that much. The only thing I use that uses line at a time mode is telenet in LINEMODE.

> Navigating history is so-so

Yes, that is because the program you are likely interacting with where history is relevant implements it's own repl or command line (i.e. bash, zsh, python, etc...) and it is responsible for it's own history and may implement it completely differently than say, bash or zsh.

> Why are terminals always stuck in the 70s? Can I get a modern terminal?

We do have a modern terminal: the web browser... and it's pretty nice.

There have been a ton of tries at more modern terminals, but ultimately, they end up really being limited by the software running in the terminal session. In the 90s we had a ton of commercial terminal emulators that would allow you to create full guis, complete with dialogs and forms. In the 00's there were a few tries at terminals that would allow html output and embedding of html forms for input (can't remember the names of them). I suppose there's also the whole X11 thing... which is so good enough that it's really hard to kill.

Let's get back to character mode:

A lot of interactive terminal software is built using different libraries - so sometimes you get a terminal gui based on ncurses, terminal.gui, or something else... here's a list: https://github.com/rothgar/awesome-tuis#libraries. Most of these libraries try to use most of the features in your terminal emulator, but often, just use stuff that is in everything.

For command line programs (i.e. just type a command), a lot of the experience is dictated by the parser used by the tool and whatever the underlying operating system has for passing arguments. Some shells and terminal emulators (like iTerm2 on mac) try to smooth this out, but again, there's a lot of variety in command line parsers.

Probably the biggest modern improvement in the shell world was gettext and various command-line completion libraries which allows command parameter completion if the developer supports it or uses a parser that supports completion. But none of this is the terminal itself doing the work.

No, they shouldn't. SS is meant to prevent destitution, not enable luxury. Wealthy Americans owe the working and consumption classes whose sacrifices make their riches possible; there is no such obligation to ensure those elite earners get back even what they paid into that particular channel, at the expense of people who are much less well off, when they have other resources to draw from.

You might not think that's fair. I do. Even under this hypothetical regime, I know who I'd choose to be: rich and paying a ton in taxes, in a heartbeat.
Define popularity? SVN was still the majority platform because Sourceforge and Google Code were the most popular publicly accessible project hosting platforms. A lot of the self-hosted projects were still on CVS repos, often without anonymous access, so you'd just get tarballs of the source code with releases as a non-contributor. My memory is definitely that github adoption drove git adoption by basically its code first approach being more appealing to developers than Sourceforge/Google Code's project first approach.

Later on stuff like git-flow came along which also helped people have a process to migrate to (even if it's poorly suited for the development patterns software projects were already migrating to at the time).
I write a lot of emails to myself as a somewhat time sensitive note taking approach
This. The doctor works for you.

And eg most doctors will laugh at you if you said that T2 diabetes can be put into remission with diet: but it can for at least 50% of people. And the other 50% will at least drasticly lower their need for medication.

Also notice the word "remission": they can't admit that you actually healed T2 diabetes, so they use the word remission to gaslight you into thinking that "you didn't even heal it, you're just lucky and it's gonna come back".

Hard to take any doctor seriously nowadays.

There are standard cases that any rational person would see taking the medication as a win. The most prescribed class of medication in the article is antihypertensized. Thiazides are a frontline intervention for hypertension. Thiazide's reduction in all-cause mortality is clinically significant(HR approx: 0.51).

> The risk of primary outcome events[all-cause mortality] was significantly lower in patients taking thiazides (model 1: HR 0.51 [95% CI, 0.36–0.72]; P=0.0002; model 2: HR 0.56 [95% CI, 0.38–0.83]; P=0.004; [1]

There are of course downsides to taking any medication or medical intervention, but a HR 0.51 in mortality is such a large reduction that the risks would need to be equally significant.

I'm not sure why diabetes should get any special treatment other than there is simply more public awareness of the risks of untreated diabetes. Are the HR reduction in all-cause mortality with insulin treatments above a particular threshold of importance? Does diabetes the primary cause of mortality in more patients than hypertension? Some other factor? Happy to hear some of the reasoning behind it.

I started wearing ear plugs on airplanes, then putting them in as soon as I got to the airport and not removing them until I was out of the next airport. It definitely made a positive difference in travel. Now I wear earbuds a lot, even if I am not listening to anything.

They can do it at any time, if the business has any divisions that do anything close to competing with any Hashi product.

Reminding oneself about things like this is an indication that these are things one needs to be reminded of... acknowledging weaknesses, but having them as well.

I could think of a few things that I should be reminding myself of, but, for example "thou shall not steal" isn't one of them. Going out shoplifting isn't something that even occurs to me, but some people might need that.

My point being, writing a message like this to yourself is a strong indication of self-knowledge. These are the lessons I need to learn, the things I need to be reminded of. This wasn't someone preaching all of these things to others, but privately reminding themselves. The general in a triumph needs the memento mori.

asking kids to set their own rules, and then help them stick to those rules is really a much better way than setting rules as a parent without letting the kids have any input. children do have the ability to think and understand what is reasonable. they know that they need to get enough sleep so they are not tired in the morning, etc. so working with them to work out what is reasonable can really empower them and in particular open up an avenue to renegotiate rules that they themselves have chosen.

> Drug problems are solved by better access to quality health care and not punitive policing

Doesn’t seem to be working in California. In reality, it seems like the only solution to drug problems is a culture that ostracizes drug users while harshly punishing drug merchants.
Parts of it already are dogma. The “testable” and “decoupled” sections come to mind: collectively we’ve taken these to extremes. I have seen so many pointless (and more importantly at large scale, inefficient) abstractions to satisfy arbitrary testability and decoupling requirements where I work. I work at a place that isn’t quite FAANG, but it’s operating at huge scale nonetheless. I’m tired of seeing one-interface-one-impl everywhere, sad attempts at mocking dependencies, and so on.
The problem with software engineering in large companies is that the large companies are encoding themselves in software - it's the natural endpoint of software eating the world.

The problem is that software engineers are then asked to square all the circles - the hacks, the business models that don't work, the illogical policies that have kept the peace between powerful entrenched parties.

Volkswagen found it impossible to build a diesel engine that met California emissions criteria. So they encoded a cheat.

They did not write the cheat in an email, the CTO literally committed a line of code. (wish I could see the repo).

The point is that software demands clarity - it has no vagueness. So if you are going to digitise your business your business processes and model must also be clean and clear.
