Conceded that sag has a pretty special case here in the “must join” of course, speaking from the free market view, you are more than welcome to work on non-union gigs of which there are plenty. No one is making you join a union just because you are in a profession + a place. There’s plenty of non-union gigs in Hollywood. I don’t see the harm in making people pay dues if they are getting the benefits of a union gig and this is not the same as “being forced” to join a union — you can go work in another state with right to work laws.
This also seems like a pretty special case to SAG since we can see union and non union workers in auto plants: evidenced by the tier system that many auto manufacturers put in place. So not all unions have this same bargaining power.
> We could not cover even 1/1000th of the US in ~30 feet of carbon per year.

We wouldn't ... ?

Billions of gallons of crude oil are removed from the earth every year, millions upon millions of tons of stone are mined from the earth every year.

I'm misunderstanding how "covering Texas" is a meaningful measure in terms of carbon capture.

> It's not really worth considering solutions that are going to maybe move the needle by 0.001%

I'm unsure how you've come to this metric or conclusion honestly.

> Carbon capture is propaganda from the fossil fuel industry to pretend....

The oil industry seems to be interested in pivoting to CCS because it is dependent on pipelines and drilling infrastructure, which is comfortably inside their position at global-scale. The fact that they caused a large portion of the problem is tangential - practically speaking. Blame who you will, we have a problem and there is an army of geological engineers and pipeline experts, etc etc with decades of experience to draw from.

> The fossil fuel industry has already won as much as they could

This is myopic and honestly childish

> But, I'm also optimistic that a hotter planet is not going to spell disaster like most people think.

Packages have always been Python's Achilles heel. Python's philosophy for code is, "there should be one, and preferably only one, obvious way to do it." But for packaging systems, their philosophy is more like Perl: "there's more than one way to do it (and all of them have their own pitfalls)."

I don't understand why the Python leadership hasn't shown stronger... leadership... in which tools they recommend.
Of course you can slow down the process through living healthier. My point is: when you are young, you don't need to. You can go weeks having little sleep and be fine. You don't need to actively pursue a healthy lifestyle in order to avoid feeling drained. Your body reaches the peak in your 20s. After that it's a progressive decline.

In your 30s, no matter what you do, your ability to recover starts to decline and you can no longer do stuff consequences free like before.

You say if yourself: as long as you get enough sleep most of the time, you can pull an all nighter and feel fine. Pull 3 in a row and throw in some drinking, and you'll note a sharp difference between 25 year old you and 35 year old you.

Genetics plays a huge role in this. Some people win the lottery. However, by your 40s you realize that some activities might simply be off limits. Repetitive back injuries from lifting too vigorously mean that you have to cut back on deadlifts. You get dehydrated more easily and the symptoms are worse. You need to watch your ankle after having twisted it too many times during football.

You have to accept it and move on. Some magic you had is lost, but you can usually replace it with other magic. You can't play 12h with your friends every day, but now you can afford a nice car for example, etc...

You can't go clubbing 5 days a row, but you have the focus to train for a marathon and finish it.

My post was about recognizing that the circumstances that make certain things possible when we are young simply disappear. Accept this and move on, there are other things that one can do.

Eh, I think a lot more of it is caused by optimism than RDD - people who haven't _tried to do it_ look at the mess they've got, and they can see that if it were divided into domain-based services it would be less of a mess.

And the process seems almost straightforward until you _actually try to do it_, and find out that it's actually fractally difficult - by that point you've committed your organization and your reputation to the task, and "hey, that was a mistake, oops" _after_ you've sunk that kind of organizational resources into such a project is a kind of professional suicide.

I heard a story from some peers today about management in their company basically chastising the engineers for not speaking up about lack of resources to get the defects board under control.

Well, everything with the defects board was going just fine until the day of the layoffs a few months back.

These managers basically expect their underlings to manage up and tell them what to do. But also, don’t you dare speak up and criticize a layoff.

I think many companies have been doing layoffs simply because their leadership heard that other companies are doing it, a fad trend no different than beanie babies and fidget spinners. Fast forward to a short few months later and all of a sudden they figure out that those employees they sacked did actual work.
What it does is explain why society didn't collapse in the 70s / 80s like some predicted. We have been living on borrowed time, relying on over consumption of finite resources.

Unless we invent miracle tech, we are fucked. And then there is the climate crisis, which will require massive geoengineering because we waited too long. No one knows if we can avert that crisis or how bad it will get.
I actually argued that my Terrapass (I paid a fortune to be net zero) helped, but then the environmentalist friends told me that that's just "like indulgences and doesn't help the environment" so I stopped doing it. It's a lot of money per year, man, and everyone will just act like you're the problem if you buy any. No one who didn't buy any got the lecture.

Yeah, it helped that I mostly use bikes and ebikes. I think it's like a 10-15% increase in flight cost with Terrapass (I bought aggregate per year, but you can do per flight) for something like SFO<->LAX so that's manageable though unpleasant. But there's not that much reason to do that since it's apparently not real.

Besides, while you say this on HN, the top comments are often how China etc. are the problem. So if they're going to be the problem how does it matter if I fly some.
A question. Without going into detail on all the different ways to measure CO2 historically and how scientists align them against each other and also to modern direct measurements what difference does it make here anyway?

We have the very accurate direct measurement for a while and the most alarming part of this in this recent direct measurement era. I feel that such questions like yours miss the rather obvious point here. How do you feel about CO2 going up ~50% since we started direct measurements?
100 million? Care to share how you got that number? Last I read it was down to just below 10m.

CO2 is known to be a greenhouse gas for hundreds of years. Without it, earth would be freezing. Also, you didn't say how much the temperature should have risen instead of the 1 degree which you believe to be wrong.

You didn't make a point, so there is no argument to be made here.

This is a good point. You have to be clever to hop on a soapbox and make a ruckus about doomsday to get attention. Only savvy actors playing 5D chess can aptly deploy the nuanced and difficult pattern of “make grandiose claims for clicks”

I mean, it's right here:

> I want to be clear that there isn't anything wrong with trying to make yourself better, healthier, or happier. But investigating _why_ we feel the need to optimize ourselves to cope with a system of political and social injustices that make life harder for us without actually questioning the injustices of that very system is not only unhelpful, but it's counterproductive. The people who hold the most power have a great deal of interest in us focusing on bettering ourselves instead of bettering our communities.

You can argue that this wrong in various ways but it's not true that the article fails to make any case.
I suspect the author meant something more like, "neurotypical people live contented lives holding the belief that arbitrary authority actually exists." But I can't truly speak for them.

Even before I fully reasoned it out, growing up I always knew that arbitrary authority doesn't exist for me. Sure a SME should be given more weight discussing their subject, and a parent understands dangers of the world that their young child literally can't comprehend. But many of us experienced "listen to me because I said so" as children, and continue to experience that in school and into adulthood in the workplace. It's meaningless, but many neurotypical people neither notice that it's wrong or understand why it's wrong, perhaps because their brains aren't wired a way to unconsciously detect those red flags.
Yes, this has been studied quite a bit (but not "extensively"). I am (guardedly) a fan of managing the earth's albedo, but not on a global scale and especially not with a toxic compound like SO2. Some of the most important issues:

* It's not just SO2, but soot and other particulates that reflect sunlight, in particular IR.

* SO2 (and soot etc, for that matter) have other side effects; its not that they were eliminated for no reason. And the point of any ecological activity (not just climate intervention) is to make the environment more supportive to human life and ativity. Stratospheric SO2 advocates tend to dismiss these issues.

* solar radiation adjustment has other consequences (on agriculture, for example).
In the case of SO2 the frequencies reflected by SO2 are not all ones we want to do without -- we need some UV to get through.

* Stratospheric SO2 injection (AKA "SAI") is hard to switch off, so if we are unhappy with the results (widespread reduction in agriculture, if that's what happens) we would be waiting years, possibly decades, to get things back on track.

Solar radiation can also be managed at a more local level in the troposphere through marine cloud brightening for example, and can be done with more benign chemicals than SO2 (e.g. water), and can be switched on and off quite rapidly (days). It will use more energy and activity, but also provide greater control (in some locations on the water you may not want increased shade because of microscopic marine life).

Note I am working on removal of ambient greenhouse gas (CH4) and so am quite sensitive to the safety and consequences of intervention.

- " or when using any other high-temperature heat source, like a nuclear reactor. Because the steam generation happens at a constant temperature, which must be relatively low for reasonable pressures, the heat transfer from a high-temperature source is inefficient"

Nuclear (fission) reactors really aren't high-temperature heat sources. The working fluid inside reactors is itself liquid water, which doubles as a neutron moderator. That severely limits their temperature range (<374° C), so, there's no downside to limiting yourself to steam on the energy conversion side as well.

The linked articles make brief mention of a nuclear/sCO2 combination, but, to be clear, they're talking about radically different types of nuclear reactors. Not types that are currently commercialized/mature technology. Types where you replace the working fluid on the nuclear side with higher-temperature compatible substances—molten metals, molten fluoride salts, or inert gases like CO2 or helium.

edit: Also applies to nuclear fusion, I guess. IIRC, the proposed working fluids for those are molten lead/lithium, or molten lithium fluoride—both match with the sCO2 temperature range. (Lithium is the common factor, because the overriding concern of the working fluid is to transmute lithium into tritium, using the fusion reactor's neutron flux, to hopefully allow a sustainable fuel cycle).
Interesting "lens" - maybe more in common with a fresnel lens than a conventional one in as much as it's completely flat, but this one is a bunch of 0.001mm vertical cylinders growing out of flat base (see photo in article). I guess it works by witchcraft.

> The manufacturing method of this metalens is also worth mentioning. Using next-generation nanoimprint semiconductor manufacturing equipment developed by Canon, it is possible to mold the material by pressing it against the material like a stamp. It can be produced much faster and at a much lower cost than regular lenses

If you said $100k and a safety net (that actually works), I would agree with you.

Andrew Ng is right, of course: the monopolists are frantically trying to produce regulatory capture around AI. However, why are governments playing along?

My hypothesis is that they perceive AI as a threat because of information flow. They are barely now understanding how to get back to the era where you could control the narrative of the country by calling a handful of friends - now those friends are in big tech.
And we want to stop releasing CO2. We don't want to wind up charging onwards to 1,000 ppm CO2 just because we released enough SO2 to compensate for the climate change.

Firing people for striking is legal in Sweden if the strike is too long, the reason the strike failed is that the workers didn't care enough not that the employer did something bad. If Tesla want to operate in Sweden without support from the unions they are allowed to do so, but that will hurt them a lot as well, not many companies choose to fight with the unions.

Because that is the goal of the democratic party and progressivism in general: to consolidate power as much as possible. They don't hide that.

Republicans also want to consolidate power, they just lie about it more.
Two problems with that argument:

* You're comparing outcomes with two different causes (quarantine versus contract)

* You're asking about the quality of the outcome, but defining the answer as whatever the market says. As the market doesn't weigh in on quality, only value (and that imperfectly in many situations) it can't answer that question.
Nukes are not cheap. It is cheaper to firebomb. I would love if the reason nukes were not used was that of empathy or humanitarian.
It is strictly money, optics, psychological and practicality.

You don't want your troops to have to deal with the results of a nuked area. You want to use the psychological terror to dissuade someone to invade you, while you are invading them or others. See Russia's take.

Or you are a regime and want to stay in power. Having them keeps you in power; using them or crossing the suggestion to use them line will cause international retaliation and your removal. (See Iraq.)

That's not true. I mean if developers could be infallibly perfect always, then yes we wouldn't need this kind of security mechanism.

But acknowledging that code always has bugs, it's a nice additional layer of protection. If someone comes up with a code injection bug and tries to use it to run attack code that gets blocked by a previous pledge, that's an improvement.

An enlightening read that underscores a fundamental challenge in the software testing domain. The article astutely points out that the time and resources dedicated to building and maintaining a test automation framework can sometimes overshadow the intended goal - efficient and effective QA. What struck me most was the redundancy of efforts across the globe with QA engineers re-inventing the wheel repeatedly. The introduction of generative AI and the idea of shifting from a page-centric approach to a function-centric one is a game-changer. It not only optimizes testing efforts but also ensures that QA engineers' skills are channeled in the right direction. This paradigm shift is crucial, especially in an era where the pace of software development is rapid and the demands of DevOps and Agile are relentless. The piece serves as a timely reminder for organizations to rethink their test automation strategies and harness the potential of AI-driven solutions for a more efficient QA process.
