What about the perturbation of the typical cycles by dumping lots of climate warming gasses into the atmosphere?

If nothing serious is done (as we are doing at present) and the warming becomes a runaway, it will progress until the causes have dissipated (e.g. we are no longer pumping GHG into the atmosphere and the natural sources of these have been exhausted or at least come into some kind of equilibrium.)

I'm too old to be able to witness that but I think our race as a whole is likely to do so.
Sure, because that is why you can't provide evidence for your claims. :D
Sulphur Dioxide becomes Sulphuric acid when it breaks down in the atmosphere, the threat/reality of acid rain due to this is why sulphur scrubbers were mandated on power stations from the 1980s onwards.

Relying on it as it is at a specific snapshot in time would require a very precarious balance and is probably not worth trying to achieve, there are better geoengineering hopefuls.
That's understandable and very likely true, HN has nearly a 100% rate of tech geeks/nerds compared to the real world. However at least in some places in India it's often implicitly understood that such a phone sold below market cost is some kind of fake or refurb or b/c stock etc.
There's certainly more than a little naivety at work in this insistence that israelis and palestinians could somehow live together without killing each other. I think a two state solution is possible, but there is absolutely no chance of a one state solution that doesnt involve kicking out one of the two groups. This misunderstanding is the whole issue here, people calling for a one state solution have no vision of what the state would actually look like. "oh they'll just live together in peace and forget about their utter hatred of each other" is not a realistic vision
I think it is also prisoner's dilemma. You can YOLO now, and see the world, and then doom, or you can sacrifice, live environmentally friendly, spend your weekends lobbying, and then doom. But if everyone did something!
On their pitch deck it said they will monetise serving of their models.

It's a bit hypocritical from Le Monde to talk about African forests as if the French haven't colonized and looted Africa for the better part of a century.
It’s also vastly inflating the external cost of carbon by using unrealistic discount rates and damage functions. The total externality size that DICE models find is something like $1.5 trillion per year, out of a global economy of ~$150 trillion.

>It's a worry that, in the last few years, US manufacturers have gone way overboard on too much car per car, to the point that most American workers can't afford current vehicles.

Things like the Nissan Leaf have been widely available in the US for nearly a decade now, with battery sizes from 20-40kWh. There's a market for it, but it's niche. The reality is just that EVs will never truly become mainstream in the US until there's a >60kWh budget vehicle that sells out the door under $25k. The distances are simply too much for anything less to be viable for people outside of a major metro area.
You stop using your cell phone for anything important, or anything that can't be gotten through other means trivially.

Practically, this means you use your cell phone for phone calls (the metadata is public, and I assume anyone who wants to listen in can already do so), and for SMS/MMS messages (see above, except I don't think the contents are quite as protected as voice).

You disable location services, you don't install anything of any interest on your "daily carry" phone, and you regularly shut it down for periods of time to build the expectation that your device is regularly offline. Let it run out of battery. Cultivate the "senile old senior" approach to using your phone. Leave it behind.

And then carry a small laptop, preferably running Qubes, for "everything else," and either use Tor or your own VPN infrastructure (ideally shared with friends) for access.

... and start cultivating ways of life that are offline first, that don't rely on consumer electronics (or the upstream companies) to behave as anything other than the data-grubbing, data-selling sorts they've reliably proven to be.

Yeah. It sucks. The past 20 years of consumer electronics turn out to have been rotten on the vine, actively working against your own interests, comically insecure (so even if they're not just streaming your data off to whoever pays/demands, it's not hard to extract), etc.

I don't have any better answers. I've been trying for about the last 5 years to figure out a solution, and I just can't come up with anything reasonable that still involves using consumer electronics for much more than toy uses. Apple looked better for a while, but then lost their head with the on-device CSAM scanning stuff and, while I like it, Lockdown is a simple admission that they cannot build secure software against nation-state level adversaries. Plus, most of their updates are "Oh, yeah, so, update this now, we have reason to believe [solid proof and won't say it, usually...] that this fixes things under active exploit." But, hey, we've got MeMojis and such now!

We have built too much complexity into our systems (see all the uarch vulns that are fundamentally a result of chasing performance over everything) to understand, to reason about, and we can't fix the problems of complexity with yet more complexity (as the last 5 years of papers demonstrate, often to comedic effect, about how the uarch vuln mitigations open up this other channel). And the software isn't any better.

I don't see the path forward other than simply opting out, and building systems that no longer rely on vulnerable pocket computers that leak literally everything you're doing to whoever might care.
Dinosaurs. They could have had metal cities for all we know and basically zero evidence would survive until today. All we have left are chickens /s.
> Also, the model doesn't take account technological progress or mining resources from solar system etc.

Technological progress is not a given or inevitability. There are real physical and material constraints affecting technological development. You can't simply handwave future problems away because "future technological development." For example, it seems very likely that extraterrestrial mining operations will never be technically and economically feasible. We have to disconnect what decades of scifi have taught us about the future from reality. In sixty years of human space travel, we've made very little progress and there's not much reason to hope for much more.

> one of which is that population keeps growing exponentially. Population is already collapsing, so the whole model goes to trash bin with that in mind.

It's true that exponential population growth is very obviously unsustainable. Unfortunately, the population collapse is another symptom of our problems that will ultimately lead to a systems collapse and likely ecological collapse. People are animals, however much we want to deny it. When animals stop breeding, it's because something is wrong. TFR is collapsing because of poisoned social environments, not because enlightened rational humanity saw the perils of exponential growth and took action. This in turn means that increasing proportions of our economic surpluses will be dedicated to attempted containment and control of our social problems, rather than technological development.

That all said, to paraphrase Adam Smith, there's a lot of ruin in a nation. Technology, mass surveillance, and huge economic surpluses have permitted and will permit unprecedented levels of social control that may stave off a systems collapse for longer than anyone expects, even if the resulting society is dystopian by our former standards. And our understanding of our ecological system is miniscule: we can see where doing tremendous amounts of damage at almost every known point (even ignoring global warming), but it's hard to say what it takes to really send us down the drain. It will probably happen slowly, then all at once.
Literal poisons, designed as such, may be harmful? I cannot sanction stupid newspeak hogwash like this. Is it not possible to openly say the truth anymore?

EV Sales Growing Faster Than Expected – Charts
Colonialism does not make countries rich. That is amyth with data in hand. It makes a few people very rich but not a country as a whole. In fact they historically brought deficit in many cases. Even if looting happens. I tell you this as a spanish that checked the topic.

I do not know about USA lifestyle enough and I know americans work hard. There is no trick here though. Without enough productivity and generated wealth, it is impossible to maintain a system forever. After living for 12 years almost in Vietnam, which is a country more similar to how most countries are wealth-wise and conditions in those countries are harder.

I reached the conclusion that spanish demand too good conditions compared to productivity for a lot of jobs. This will eventually make us collapse. Same for some parts of Europe. I agree we all want to live better... but careful with balancing it towards our own personal wishes. Because we could eventually regret it :)

Fascinating. Never heard of this.
I think you can make a case for targeting Columbia in particular, even to the exclusion of other schools.

Columbia was a major beneficiary of the city's power of eminent domain in the early 2000s, killing small business and other local flavor in favor of their expansion and planned urban renewal, which is kind of slimy already. The big arguments were that it couldn't expand and maintain its status without it.

So now time to pay the piper. All those places used to pay property taxes, now they don't.

"In a unanimous decision, the Court of Appeals overturned a lower court ruling that barred the state from using its power of eminent domain to take private property in the 17-acre expansion zone west of Broadway without the property owner’s consent. The ruling held that the courts must give deference to the state’s determination that the area was “blighted” and that condemnation on behalf of a university served a public purpose, two requirements under the law.

Lee Bollinger, the president of Columbia University, said he was grateful for the state’s hard work in the case. “This is an extremely important moment in the history of Columbia,” he said. “It’s only fair to say that the opportunity to build a new campus comes along very rarely.”"

I understand your concerns, but in this case venture backed means we have the resources to put full-time resources on it and push it forward quickly (as opposed to just being an interesting side project). We need an open source modern terminal alternative, otherwise this market will be taken over by closed source alternatives.
> BUT, I think it's absolutely fair to keep tax breaks only for buildings used primarily for educational/research and related activities (like dorm rooms and student centers and research labs).

According to https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/26/nyregion/columbia-univers...

>> Universities, including Columbia, pay tax on properties they own that are not used for educational purposes.

So I don't think they're able to just become tax-free real-estate investors, although I don't know where the dividing line is?

> subjecting disabled people to more investigation is not OK

We all feel sympathy for poor disabled people who have a harder lot in life than most. But investigating a poor disabled person for fraud is only really a problem if the investigation is malicious, biased, unfair, disrupts their life, presumes their guilt, etc. How are these investigations actually run? Are they run fairly or not? That's what I'm really curious about.

So personally, I think you're conflating 2 different things. Simply a basic check for fraud in and of itself is a separate thing from a malicious investigation that's run horribly.

PS: Let's not forget that many poor people pay various kinds of taxes. Being a wise steward of their tax dollars and trying to fight fraud is not in and of itself anti-poor disabled people.
I think people like me who think about things like how we got here i.e. evolution, the scale of the universe, how insignificant our planet is, let alone us (in terms of the scale of the universe) also lack optimism bias. What is gonna happen will happen. Surely COVID19 shook the "it wont happen to me" vibe out of everyone though? I mean, COVID19 happened to everyone on the planet. Whether they got sick they were effected and could see the danger of a pandemic. (Well anyone with a brain...)
Europe is not just the "European Union". I know many don't like Russia at the moment, but its western part is Europe. Same for Ukraine, also not part of the European Union, but it's part of Europe (the continent).

In the context of European "genetics" keeping Russia and Ukraine out of Europe is basically non-sense considering the Slavs kind of come from there :)

What is inherent about AIs that requires spending a billion dollars?

Humans learn a lot of things from very little input. Seems to me there's no reason, in principle, that AIs could not do the same. We just haven't figured out how to build them yet.

What we have right now, with LLMs, is a very crude brute-force method. That suggests to me that we really don't understand how cognition works, and much of this brute computation is actually unnecessary.
People don't generally starve in countries with high GDP - when they do, it's a distributional problem and a flawed social system at work.

If we define GDP as the totality of transactions people are willing to make, then an inflation adjusted growth means that the average citizen will enter more transaction of a higher subjective value. Therefore (again, assuming inflation and the price of basic necessities is controlled for) it stands to reason more of those transactions will be directed towards the basic necessities.

So, generally, higher GDP means fewer people starving, with the distributional and inflation caveats mentioned.
Offering awards for things is kind of self-serving for a publication.

I remember reading something once, where famous people should carefully vet who they accept awards from. An award might just be a sneak way of getting some relevant person to speak at an event for free or a nominal cost.

I want to believe in infinite growth too. Maybe asteroid mining could make this paper and model predictions way off. Indeed, that is the kind of thing we hear from Jeff Bezos: https://www.milkenreview.org/articles/mining-in-space-is-com...

But also, yes, it IS reasonable to look at 4 sensitivity analyses comprising the most common rebuttals to limits of growth, observe alignment with more than 4 decades of empirical data, and believe based on that the model is pitching well above its weight. No need for ad hominem here.

> Are there any places on earth that can sustain themselves without heavy ongoing support from other places on earth

Contemporary hunter-gatherer societies exist, and probably will as long as the climates sustaining them last and the rest of humanity leaves the ranges involved alone. That's probably a good floor for consideration.

Every other society else exists on a scale of autarky to interdependence but given that globalization is fairly recent it seems fairly clear a lot of nation-state scale and maybe smaller societies probably could do agriculture + craft and maybe even industry well enough to be self-sustaining, if perhaps less efficiently or wealthily (Amish / Mennonite communities seem like they'd have a good shot).

Industrialization and interdependence are definitely associated, but we know we can get there from a much more independent place if given environments like those humanity has had (so far) to launch from.

Without a sufficiently friendly environment, we're talking about a different class of dependence (arguably complete). There are harsh environments on earth that demonstrate this, and every extraterrestrial destination available to us makes those harsh earthly environments look like easy mode.

It feels like you are deliberately taking the most facile argument and ignoring the most substantive? As I outlined in the talk: for the breakthroughs that were required to do something that is thought of as pedestrian (namely, bringing up a computer), intelligence is simply not enough -- a superintelligence would not have suggested the breakthroughs because they required intense iteration, not simply the absorption of book knowledge. And yes, it's a technical argument, not an "intellectual argument" -- and as such requires much more technical depth to appreciate -- but that is very much the point, frankly...
"Mumbo jumbo" has been common English parlance since the 18th century.

GitHub charges for LFS and has since they initially introduced it, way before Microsoft was involved. Also, the pricing model is changing and will include a minimum of 10GiB for free (250GiB for Team/Enterprise customers). It’s cost-recovery and abuse-prevention, though, not some nefarious scheme. And funny you mention AWS S3... what costs might GitHub be recovering? ;)

Microsoft’s homegrown LFS implementation (in Azure DevOps) does not and has never charged for LFS. It’s nice to have friends with a cloud blob storage service!
