1.5C is gone - no point clinging to it. However, there is a lot if effort going into decarbonization. Where we are exactly is unclear, but claiming we are on track to 5C isn't really supported by that many (having past models being invalidated doesn't mean certain future overshoot, how much of invested changes are captured, etc.).

Also, the ecosystem discussion is somewhat orthogonal as we don't now what all is critical to human survival.
What is a friend (and how does that differ from a close friend)?

Frankly, I don’t even talk about mental health with my wife, and I would say she is my best friend. I imagine this is cultural, but I’m not sure what that means. It’s not like anyone ever said to me, hey, never talk to your friend in private about mental health. And that isn’t something I’d expect people to talk about in public with each other where I could learn from observation. In other words, it doesn’t feel like something that is learned from explicit teaching or from observation. So, where is it learned from?
>> - looking at the victim, how hard is it to choose between poison, rope, gun, and knife, especially given that it can be deduced that the body wasn’t moved?

> I'm not completely sure what you mean here.

They found the victim, figured out the body wasn’t moved, but managed to do so without noticing the gunshot wound, so they can’t rule out poison, cutting their throat, or strangulation?

Technically, there could be two would-be killers, with the one using the gun shooting an already dead victim, or killing the victim minutes before the poison would have, or one killer doubting the poison worked, and making sure with a knife, but the presentation makes me think we can rule out such cases.

Now I think of it: poison typically takes some time to take effect, so if the cause is poison, the killer need not have been near the victim at the time of death.

If it’s a gun and that was used as a gun (and not to club her to death, for example), wouldn’t everybody have heard the gun shot in such a small house? That works in Cluedo and Agatha Christie stories, but those typically are set in large country houses where sometimes people happen to show of their guns to their guests.

And for today’s puzzle: what house has a bath room next to the living room? I think that’s even illegal in many building codes.

As I said, this doesn’t engage me as a crime story. The typical story has some intro, and then somebody finds the victim. Who did that? Why did they go to their room?
Are we protecting the reef because of its effects on the wider planet, or because we like it and think it’s pretty and believe it would be tragic to lose it?

For example, it seems pretty clear that we would have major problems
everywhere on Earth if we clearcut the entire Amazon rainforest. That seems to me to justify saving it.

In short: does the Great Barrier Reef’s existence have similar far-flung implications, or is this effort based on status quo bias?

Headers are a really bad interface IMHO. Yes there’s tooling, but they require your headers be very very specific. Any deviance can break that tooling, so you’re either lucky in what you can bind or are writing to a very strict spec.

Modules on the other hand are more strict and would likely have made the job of writing language bindings easier and more predictable.

I’m not sure I agree with your logic about NumPy etc. You seem to be conflating technology limitations with policy ones. They could most certainly use modules too , since they exist in the compiled space anyway. They won’t because they make certain compiler compatibility guarantees but that’s a conflict of interests not of technical quality.

In general your argument feels a bit “older is better due to legacy support”. That would preclude almost any advancement in the space as well, because any new language feature (even just a keyword) would break all your examples above equally too.
Electronic parts that are easily connected and Lego to create a physical structure to mount them in sounds like an awesome combination.
for a non-American answer: in countries with VAT, tourists are not required to pay VAT, although domestic citizens are. The hotel will often service both foreigners and domestic citizens, so it charges a rate without VAT to tourists and a rate with VAT to domestic citizens. Unlike most businesses where most of their clientele are domestic citizens, hotels are special in that most of their clientele are foreigners, thus hotels are permitted to advertise a rate without VAT.
Worth pointing out that modern social media is built on maximum-engagement, more-of-the-same recommendation algorithms that are a perfect fit for spreading these kinds of content. If you're unaware of this and interact with it, you'll soon be made to feel (by the algorithm) like everyone on Youtube or Twitter is talking about it.

In realist or pseudo-realist genres, brand is a symbol of time and place and class.

Many authors choose to dance around it or invent fictional brands because doing so can make a work timeless, but many authors and audiences are specifically interested in fixing a work into a place or time. Others just don’t see a reason to bother with all the dancing around.

There’s almost no market/value established for advertising brands in a novel in general, and there’s vanishingly small value in doing so for a ubiquitous brand like YouTube. In your example, it’s definitely not sponsored. It’s just a stylistic choice.

Meh I dunno, there's that website that reports how many hiroshimas of energy we're releasing into our planet per second, the skeptics/denialists don't seem to care much for that metric, either.

I don't think the problem is how it's being reported, I think it's just that this is the kind of news some people will do anything but hear.

The free MariaDB software is awesome. Because of that, I am very curious about their business.

But looking at their financials, I get the feeling they have a "too much money" problem.

They are spending about $3M per month on "Research and development".

They are spending about $2M per month on "Sales and marketing".

They are spending about $2M per month on "General and administrative".

At a company valuation of under $50M and monthly revenue of under $5M.

Cutting down on the spending is probably the right thing.

Spending millions per month on sales and marketing and having only $5M MRR to show for it seems like the marketing is not effective.

Spending millions per month on development and not having a killer product that sells itself seems like the development is not effective.
I've self-learned for a long time in the causal inference space and model evaluation is a concern for me. My biggest concern is falsification of hypotheses. In ML, you have a clear mechanism to check estimation/prediction through holdout approaches. In classical metrics, you have model metrics that can be used to define reasonable rejection regions for hypothesis tests. But causal inference doesn't seem to have this, outside traditional model fit metrics or ML holdout assessment? So the only way a model is deemed acceptable is by prior biases?

If my understanding is right, this means that each model has to be hand-crafted, adding significant technical debt to complex systems, and we can't get ahead of the assessment. And yet, it's probably the only way forward for viable AI governance.

> "I deserve automatic compensation (rent) for 100+ years for any one who consumes this media just because I recorded any bit of audio, put one mark on a paper, or created 1 frame of a motion picture."

Pure straw man argument.

Nobody is talking about “automatic compensation”. Nobody is getting paid for putting “one make on a paper” if nobody wants to buy it.

People get to price their works. If you don’t like the price or don’t think it’s worth it, you don’t pay for it. Nobody gets “automatic compensation” if nobody wants to buy their work. These are such obvious ground truths that you’re ignoring for the sake of trying to make a strained point.

Sorry, you’re not entitled to the output of other people’s labor for free, just like I’m not entitled to the output of your labor for free.

I would imagine it's less about any given statue and more about it being indicative of a kind of cultural revolution. It's not necessarily a bad tactic, though imagine asking people if they knew George Floyd existed before the video. If people followed that heuristic and didn't get worked up into a frenzy then we wouldn't have had the riots and largest YoY increase in homicides in US history. Though I think the video was more a catalyst for unleashing the pent up frustrations of a populace forced under house arrest, living in fear of a virus, economic uncertainty, etc.

Yeah, I agree. I don’t think people should be free to pirate with impunity, but I get very very uneasy when people trot out life ruining penalties (not saying you’re doing this).

I’ve been transitioning away from a career in tech into creating educational content for a niche I love, and I’m sensitive to the need for recourse. At the same time, I think I’m far less likely as an individual creator to have much recourse because I don’t have a team of lawyers.

This is the other aspect of these piracy discussions that always bothers me. It’s really the behemoths vs. individuals, which to me points at very misaligned thinking when it comes to the resulting policy/laws.

> Though if you really want to get back at restaurants, drink at home.

This is cutting off your nose to spite your face. If you transition from someone who generally drinks out and doesn't drink at home, to someone who drinks at home to avoid paying to drink out, you find you drink a lot more at home, and therefore ultimately, you don't even end up saving much money.

It's better for your health and your wallet to let your local restaurant or bar take its 300% markup on alcohol.

That limits content to the producers that have their own distribution mechanisms, which tend to be larger content creators. the small creator that uses Youtube, Twitch, etc for distribution will be the most hurt by such a policy.

Do you apply the same "If I pay for something then I own it" rule to content you consume via TV subscription services? What about if you pay to view a movie in a theater?

Exceptions are the wrong thing.

Throw an exception means "throw away the context of the failure and then goto some other function". The exchange amounts to:

Something went wrong somewhere!

Where? What?

I knew a moment ago but threw it away for implementation convenience. Here's an object.

Thanks!

Fringe benefits include sacrificing linear types - the zero runtime cost, infallible way of doing deterministic resource cleanup - and embracing the mental dissonance of goto evil unless it doesn't say where it's going to.

Sum types are probably the right thing.
I've used a mouse (non-Bluetooth) with my son's iPad Pro (within the last year), and I didn't have to enable AssistiveTouch. I just checked and it's not enabled.

Is this requirement a very recent change?

(I don't have my own iPad with me right now, but I don't recall enabling AssistiveTouch to get the Logitech keyboard+trackpad working.)

EDIT: I looked online and apparently prior to 13.4 AssistiveTouch was required to use a mouse. But now you don't need it if you only want basic mouse functionality.

USA 30+ adult here, total loner status: friends/spouse/acquaintances, I don't have anybody who spends any physical time near me. Obviously I get messages from old friends far away, but they might as well be letters in the mail.

I remember having dozens of friends in school, since I was involved in half a dozen sponsored activities.

Even in college, those extra curricular activities (and classes forced group work, science labs) is where I met most of my friends. But I did notice the count going down, I figured I was too busy with my work.

Nowadays I'm 100% WFH, and have zero friends in any sort of physical proximity to me. Yes I'm single too, of course. I go out to eat every day just to have a chance of socializing, and to people-watch. I visit the sketchiest Walmart in my city in case something interesting happens, and to people-watch.

Otherwise, I might as well not exist. If I died, my immediate family (parents, siblings) would be the only people to notice (after the county calls found my body, anyway), and maybe a friend or two from high school would drop in for the funeral.

What happened? I'm an extroverted Leo, so unlike most lurkers here, I actually consider this a real problem in my life.

I've spent a lot of time thinking about this, and I've realized a solution: drastically changing my living situation, and going out to bars more, is likely to be a reasonable plan to "make a lot of new friends" as an adult.

Think about it: what do most, non-autistic people, who don't-use-computers, do on the weekend? They go to bars! They probably get laid, too!! The only apps on their phone are probably facebook, tinder and a sports betting app!!!

Androids version 10 and above have support for raw GNSS measurements, they provide access to the pseudoranges and lots more. They suddenly became the most convenient platform for accessing raw GNSS data given the proprietary mess that is the GNSS receiver market. We can also turn off the battery saving GNSS chipset duty cycling and have it continuously track the satellites, improving accuracy.

Right now there seems to be no Android RTK app but I want to try making one. Perhaps I can post process the GPS traces if I can't achieve real time.

Charging stations are ubiquitous in China, widely used, and they're internet connected - to facilitate payment. Every mall, hotel, and many other businesses have these placed strategically (in front of restrooms, in the gym, etc.)

Yes, my short post may sound dismissive, but I work in tech and I'm aware that our industry has lots of legitimate creativity and intellectual property. Of course we also have hype, marketing, BS, and herd stampedes. Some aspects of GPU/parallel design are commonly understood and other companies make such chips. So I guess I was just wondering if Nvidia had a secret sauce, are they ahead of others, and if so by what measure? I work more in software, and I'm not in a position now to evaluate their hardware on the merits.

> that turn to LatAm do get an "unfair advantage"

My company has been trying to do this (pay top percentile latam salaries) but it’s just been a larger grind to find decent devs than when we were advertising US salaries. “You get what you pay for” seems to be at play for us.

I imagine remote work can give you some edge but we’re trying to get 2 devs for the price of one and it’s really hard. We’re probably losing money on all the time wasted (you get a ton of applicants at lower price points).
Whether Lenin said it or not, "the Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them" applies to the situation.

While I agree in theory, I'm afraid that disputes over what is sufficient in what industry would result in 10 years for one kind of work, 40 for another, and 5 for yet another. I would accept a one-size-fits-all solution in the form of a lowest-common-denominator which simultaneously is much closer to the original US copyright term. Surely 15 years of monopoly privileges after publishing - or 20 years after writing/making, whichever is sooner - is sufficient. (No extensions, although I might accept something like Bill Willingham's proposal of giving licensees 10 years total and max [1].) If that's not enough incentive then the prospective author isn't confident that the work would sell well in the best conditions, and a government should not further distort a market to make an at-best-poorly-selling product sell well.
