> To achieve a 2 °C result, the plan would inject 6.7 teragrams (6.7 billion kg/14.8 billion lb) of sulfur dioxide per year into each pole, calling for an eye-watering total of 13.4 teragrams (29.5 billion lb) of material annually.

>The study goes on to look at logistics, finding that existing aircraft can't carry enough payload to a sufficient height to get the job done... To hit the cooling target, this project would need 125 purpose-built SAIL-43Ks, flying a total of 1,458 missions per day during the four-month injection period at each pole. These planes would take off, climb for 30 minutes, vent their entire load of sulfur dioxide within two minutes, then come back down over the following 30 minutes, and spend the next hour loading up again and refueling for the next mission.

> All sulfur oxides are nasty to breathe in, harming the lungs and causing asthma and bronchitis if inhaled regularly... It notes that the effects of teragrams of sulfur dioxide and the associated acid rain deposits are risky both to humans and to the wider ecosystem, requiring lots more research. And it expects some stratospheric heating as well.

So yeah, we could. It would be expensive (but not $trillions), and the environmental effects would be horrific.

And yet its still being proposed, because that's how desperate we are.
Also think of the added development expenses, which might even overshadow forgone bulk discounts

When looking over a vast time like this with a high levels of variations and varying local maximums and minimums, linear graphs become misleading. If you were going to include the Cretaceous you would have to plot it logorithmically, but at that point the graph becomes uninteresting because every peak except the current one would be just slim lines.

Edit: I saw my dead sibling pointed to a graph which is some weird logarithmic-linear hybrid, i.e. it show three distinct timeperiods in three different scales. This is indeed a rather odd way of representing data, and I don’t think it is helpful.

I assume they're targeting people who aren't competitive candidates for big high paying companies. There's plenty of super mediocre to bad developers out there (myself included) that would never stand a chance applying there. I've been developing software for a decade and the most I've ever made is $110k, and that was in high cost of living areas like Denver and Seattle.

Google's name makes perfect sense, it's a derivative of the word "googol" which is 10^100.

For the first decade of its existence, Google would show the top 20 links for your search and at the bottom of the page say, "...of 2,000,000" or some other giant number, indicating to users how vast their index was.

"X" is just stupid. They could have at least waited until they added significant new functionality to differentiate it from Twitter with a new name.

I'm using AudioWorklet and SharedArrayBuffer. Here's my code: https://github.com/kixelated/moq-js/tree/main/lib/playback/w...

It's just a lot of work to get everything right. It's kind of working, but I removed synchronization because the signaling between the WebWorker and AudioWorklet got too convoluted. It all makes sense; I just wish there was an easier way to emit audio.

While you're here, how difficult would it be to implement echo cancellation? The current demo is uni-directional but we'll need to make it bi-directional for conferencing.

Your waybackmachine archive link? That page is the opposite of convincing. Half the examples are "climate scientists human, news at 11", another quarter don't say what the framing claims they do (unless further context shifts their meaning—but that's not provided, what is provided does not say what the framing claims it does) which makes me really wary of the remaining 1/4 or so (strongly suspect their meaning shifts to be rather less nefarious as one expands context).

I think that "when you proceed to applications" is the issue there. Applications where? For applications in field theory, the spatial metaphor is exactly incorrect! For applications in various spectral theories, it's worse than useless.

What you say regarding the seeming coincidental nature of "real world" applications is basically correct (with correlation specifically there's some other stuff going on, it isn't that surprising, but in general), but unavoidable for any aspect of pure mathematics. Math is the study of formal systems, and the real world wasn't cooked up on a black board. If we can demonstrate that some component of reality obeys laws which map onto axioms, we can apply math to the world. But re-framing an entire field to work with one specific real world use (not even imo the most important real world use!) is just silly.

I love the idea of encouraging students early on to look at different areas of math and see the connections. But linear algebra is connected in more ways to more things than just using an inner product to pull out a nice basis. Noticing that polynomials, measurable functions, etc are vectors is possible without reframing the entire field, and there are lots of uses of linear algebra that don't require a norm! Hell representation theory only does in some situations.
That's incredibly concise. I see you're perturbing vx and vy randomly and updating location accordingly on every frame. Is the perturbation also per-frame or is that block of code just executed once? Is randomf a floating-point number between 0 and 1?
I don't even see the first half as particularly damning. Owning a domain name doesn't mean you own exclusive rights for the trademark ---in that space---. Uzi Nissan (who I've just found out died, R.I.P), couldn't demand Nissan stop selling cars with Nissan, just because he owned Nissan.com, and wouldn't sell it.

(sidenote: nissan.com is currently inaccessible to me. I wonder what'll happen to that domain, given the aforementioned death).

EDIT: I used the words "in that space", was the wrong train of thought there, my bad.
People think its a solution because its one tool in a toolkit. You are right capture alone won’t solve everything, but I don’t think anyone is seriously suggesting as much, and are saying instead its an important complement to other strategies.
There are a lot of folks interested in or concerned with what the government is doing here.

"Meta’s Instagram announced its ‘threads’ social media platform and removed Threads Software Limited from its Facebook platform. "

> Barring any actual proof of this “forcing” happening

They force non-union members to get the same benefits and pay the same union dues. What is hard to understand here? This is what unions in USA fight so hard to keep, they wouldn't fight for it if they didn't use it to force people.

For example, if you want to be an actor in California, you need to join SAG if you want to be in a union production. But if you join SAG you are no longer allowed to work in non-union productions, essentially creating two separate markets. Do you think this isn't happening? Many big actors hate this, but they are forced to join SAG anyway.

Here is how it works if you don't want to look it up yourself:

> Once this grace period expires, however, you become classified as a “must-join”. As the label implies, you now must join the union and pay the initiation fee if you wish to continue to work any SAG-AFTRA jobs going forward.

https://actingmagazine.com/2021/01/what-is-a-must-join/

Edit: And here is how right to work gives you a choice instead of the union being able to force you:

> There is usually more flexibility for must-join actors who reside in right-to-work states, since right-to-work states have laws that prohibit unions from requiring workers to join a union as a condition for employment. However, the largest acting markets in the United States, like Los Angeles and New York, are union states.
Wow. How long did that take?

Actually, this is much easier with micro services as you have a clear interface you need to support and the code is not woven into the rest of the monolith like a French plat. The best code is the easiest to throw away and rewrite, because let's face it, the older the code is, the more hands it's been through, the worse it is, but more importantly the less motivated anyone is in maintaining it.
It does not convey less information, it conveys accurate information. At the scale of the x-axis, the viewer can see that it was always at 280 so no information is lost. No information is added by breaking the scale, if you want to convey standard deviations, add a secondary axis.

There's no indescriminate bombing of hospitals. Nice how you pushed this lie so casually.

There are very strong proofs that a hospital was hit by a failed rocket launch of a gazan militia against Israel. Plus Hamas and other militias keep their weapons under schools hospitals and mosques. When ever Israel bomb these sites it first gives notice to evacuate. It's in no way indescriminate.
As opposed to a surprise raid against civilians in they're homes butchering their families, mothers before children, babies beheaded before their mothers and children tied up and burnt alive.
Perhaps that is why ppl decrying the bombing of gaza while not mentioning what Hamas did get such strong condemnations

It could be that you are living in the forest or a wooded area. The official measurement happens on Mauna Loa, purposefully chosen to be without vegetation or soil or nearby human activity.

See https://gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/about/co2_measurements.html

> The observatory is surrounded by many miles of bare lava, without any vegetation or soil. This provides an opportunity to measure “background” air, also called “baseline”” air, which we define as having a CO2 mole fraction representative of an upwind fetch of hundreds of km. Nearby emission or removal of CO2 typically produces sharp fluctuations, in space and time, in mole fraction. These fluctuations get smoothed out with time and distance through turbulent mixing and wind shear. A distinguishing characteristic of background air is that CO2 changes only very gradually because the air has been mixed for days, without any significant additions or removals of CO2. Another common word for emissions is “sources”, and for removals, “sinks”.

The government sources that I was able to find for mortality statistics 'revamped' their reporting and data gathering around 2019/2020, which leaves me with enough doubt.

I was quite a bit more rigorous than I usually am when trying to formulate my position on the matter, and even still the only conclusion I could come to was that (for me at least) the information I could gather was simply not trustworthy without specific expertise that I lack. To this day, I simply let the scope and impact of COVID remain an 'unsolved mystery' in my broader world views.

To add on to the start of my response, correlation does not imply causation. I can postulate numerous circumstances that, to a layman such as myself, could plausibly explain why there was an increase in all-cause mortality. Things such as an increased scrutiny on data collection pertaining to this specific circumstance could feasibly result in a change in data gathering practices favoring over-reporting, or even an improvement in report accuracy.
I fully agree, but remember your target audience was other well-educated people. As you communicate closer to the lower common denominator, sensible things like labeling your axes and assuming the readers will check that are reframed as evidence of conspiracies and mind control.
Companies can, do, and will lie.

They will lie about their intent.

They will lie to regulators.

They will lie about what they're actually working on.

Some of these lies are permissible of course, under the guise of competition.

But the only thing that can be relied upon is that they will lie.

So then the question becomes; to what degree will what they're working on present an existential threat to society, if at all.

And nobody - neither the tribal accelerationists and doomers – can predict the future.
