To counter, I think we’ll most likely be fine.

It might be two degrees warmer this century. Life will go on just fine. Possibly better in some ways and places. No problem, relatively speaking, compared to the hazards our ancestors face.

If it warms 5C, we might have a real problem on our hands. I don’t think we can predict that, and I don’t think it will happen over 100-200 year timescales.

Many people seem to think there will be mass die offs, the ocean will become unsurvivable acidic, and crops won’t grow. I don’t think any of that will happen anytime soon. I think there is a very strong “doom” instinct in humans to think this is the last generation, the end of times. This is just the latest manifestation.
Apple hired John Giannendrea, and he brought many of his key lieutenants along.

i don't agree with the genetic argument but with your other point.

producing geniuses is not a billion dollar industry because we don't yet even know how to teach to that. but that doesn't mean that we could not improve teaching and peoples potential massively.

china used to have a billion dollar tutoring industry (ok, i don't know if it was a billion, but china is huge so it's possible) until a change of laws shut it down.

but this chinese tutoring industry was not aimed at producing geniuses. instead it was aimed at exploiting parents, extracting their money without providing any real value except putting pressure on the children to perform.

that's why it was shut down.
> So I quickly connected a USB Hub onto it. I decided to use the USB signal on the touchpad connector, because I am a bit too lazy to figure out the pinout of the dock connector.

I love this so much. I'm totally a hardware noob but even I thought "there has to be USB somewhere right". This whole inspection is amazing and shows that it's very much possible to take back control over your hardware. Sure, this is specifically locked down for prisons, but you could also think of it like a consumer device from a dystopian future. Let's fight against that together with libre open source hardware & software projects.
I experimented with something similar in one of my larger side projects a couple of years ago:

Privacyonsec let me laugh so you say you make 45k net in Paris and you live very comfortably ? That means ur gross is around 60k. 3700 a month in your pocket ie 4k usd. When rents are around 2k a month let me guess you live in a 30 square meter hole or your room sharing your flat or your living in a gritty suburb or dad & mum have you covered . When any decent car would cost you 300 € a month, telco bundle 100 €, 100 € energy minimum, add 200 € minimum of property charges if you own your flat. 250 € of food if you go to low class hard discount store, 50 euros transportation if you don’t own or leade car , that makes already 3000 euros a month of spending. Add various taxes and fees if you’re landlord, say 200 euro a month. 100 min for health care. You now have 400 euros left in you bank account left, I hope you don’t have any kid like most of parisians , other you go broke in no time. And I didn’t count anything Paris has to offer : restaurant costing 20 euros per person on average, cinema at 10 euros etc. France is being destroyed by privileged people or cheap people that thing they are virtually rich while in fact they are virtually poor.

Why do people use medium? It seems utterly pointless to write this content then put it somewhere that actively goes out of its way to make sure people can't read it?
Regardless of what the temperatures are, one group of 10 years would have been the hottest 10 years in the last 200 years, because, you know, that's how numbers work. Some are bigger than others and it would be exceptionally unlikely for the temperature to be exactly the same every year.

I just can't be bothered with this kind of fear-mongering. Guys, you'll never guess what happened! We collected a bunch of measurements and one of them was the biggest! Oh, no!
There are always these strange very dismissive comments that show people on the opposition of climate change have no clue what they are talking about. A one-liner on an internet forum does not disprove climate change. But it intends to muddy the waters and confuse.
Mmm the most impressive thing I see LLMs do is take a piece of unstructured input and transform it in some way - summarize, extract information as JSON, etc. This wouldn't be possible if it were repeating training data verbatim, since it works on new novel inputs.

The problem of software developers in France is not that French salaries are lower than other countries overall, but software development salaries in France compared to other professions. In North America and Northern Europe countries software development is a high paying job, in France not as much.

But things are changing. Yes a lot of software dev jobs are crap (typically IT Services companies) but you also have Big Tech and other high paying tech companies in France. While it's still a bit less than other countries, as a senior you can easily get a TC above 130k euros even as an individual contributor.
I did not suggest you believe that Ruby does not actually have a type system at all, but your statement to me still implies a view about the way Ruby treats typing that suggests to me that it is a fairly natural consequence you will find Ruby uncomfortable. There's no value judgment in that, nor nitpicking or criticism. Just an observation that Ruby might just not be right for you.
As in most other European countries social security, health and retirement is provided on a subsistence level.

I think this is what differs from EU to the US. EU is great for subsistence seekers while the US is much better for aspirational people.

The issue is just that you need both to have a good country. An aspirational person also need to be able to shop, eat, etc. And subsistence people also want access to the newest comforts such as being able to access newest medical treatments.

As an aspirational person myself, I tend to be negative around the subsistence arguments thinking people need a notch to work. Just like subsistence people tend to take for granted the amount of effort is takes to safely make accessible a new treatment and feel entitlement around social security, health, and retirement services.
What's wrong with heat pumps, solar panels and EVs? For once I won't be forced ro breathe automotive fumes any longer. It's not like they're selling cigarettes and lobying that they're perfectly healthy. I still have a problem with how batteries (and solar panels) are not recycled and how you're getting replacement battery quotes above the price of a brand new EV. That has got to be regulated and changed, otherwise we'll be stuck with single use EVs.

> We need depopulation but every country's economy seems to be based on infinite growth and can't deal with an aging population.

There is no way of organising an economy that will allow it to support having the demographic of net producers significantly outnumbered by the demographic of net consumers. This is an economic problem, but only in the sense that if you want people to have access to good and service then you need people willing and able to produce those goods and services is economic problem. If you have a demographic collapse, then you don’t have that any more, no matter what system of economic management you’re using.

The idea that we need depopulation is also about as intellectually and scientifically valid as the voluntary extinction movement is, yet somehow a lot more people seem to think it has some credibility.

> Even if there is a technological solution, as things get worse it gets harder to deploy it.

As the world gets hotter, some people will benefit. Those people will try to stop any serious attempts to reverse course, especially when the next generation comes (to them, the current climate is normal - why would we want to spend lots of money to revert it to the way it was hundreds of years ago).

A 2/3/4 C rise in global temperature is going to happen, and humans might put the brakes on, but they will never put it back the way it was.
As a first approximation from a quick google search, approximately 2.75% of US children are born to one or more parents who are in the military. This was not hard information to find, but I can't vouch for its veracity; the language used is sloppy and without sources.

A bunch of pages all say the same line that 100,000 children are born each year to "military families", or about 1.5 million between 2003 and 2016. Google also says that about 3.65 million children are born in the US each year. I used division to reach the percentage. I'm sure it's not perfect, but it gives us some idea.

As to your wider point, the idea that you as an American have been unable to find this information and therefore anyone who is not American cannot have a valid observation of the issue because they are missing this critical info is less than useful.

Does this mean Microsoft doesn't spend a lot of money on improving Bing? That would be weird because they embedded Bing on Windows 11, and then embedded AI into Bing. I guess things changed since 2018?
OP here. I agree and I think I imply habitual punting. No product or service can completely delight every customer. I would even say customers are forgiving of minor annoyances as long as they know the Big Important things are taken care of. Yet there is some point where the minor annoyances become too many. Finding ourselves at that point could be a "too little too late" situation, with a steep cost to recover lost trust.

Literally every study. They will remove a particular earth moment because “it’s not relevant” but adding it in makes their data look like global warming isn’t happening. Or they exclude periods claiming that the data from that period is not good when it goes against their claims.
And what exactly is preventing us from getting to 5C? We can squabble all we want about what temperature will be "problematic" and the timeline to get there but the trend is set and continuing.
>I am not worried at all all about the climate. I don’t believe for a bit that human CO2 output has any noticeable effect on the climate.

Is there anything that would falsify your beliefs, and what is your explanation for global warming? Looking at the first point

>Economics Professor and CO2 Coalition Board Director Dr. Bruce Everett discusses the fact that predicted massive temperatures have not materialized. He says that science is one thing only: comparing ideas against empirical evidence. If empirical evidence doesn't support your idea, it isn't scientific.

What does "massive temperatures" even mean and who was promising them? You can see a compilation of forecasted models vs what happened here[1] and here[2]. One often hears of the corrupt climate scientists selling alarmist lies that don't pan out, but few people seem to bother actually looking into who in the past made accurate predictions about the future. I'll give you a hint - it wasn't the people who denied co2 could cause climate change.

Reading about async Rust is like reading about a large complicated infrastructure project that keeps getting delays and cost overruns. Rust will end up spending a significant part of its complexity budget on async alone. I wonder if it's worth it, for a problem that gets significantly easier if you are prepared to be just a bit more wasteful (allocations, memory, etc). Compare with Ocaml or Haskell for instance.
"Best solution" is a proxy here for the software you really want. That's what you need to go for; if you don't, I don't really want to use your software, although I might have to, because there is nothing else.

Again, a good general type system that catches simple mistakes is better than nothing, I agree with you here! But Rust for example, isn't that. It is quite invasive in terms of how you have to think about your program, and if your way of thinking or your particular problem aligns with Rust's approach, great. Most of the time, it will not. So if you choose for example Tauri over Electron, most of the time, that will be the wrong choice.

Anyway, static type systems are a crutch. They've been useful in the past, mainly because they allow to automate partial correctness. In the future, we will have something better (I am not saying we will have something "optimal", although it might feel that way compared to the current state of things).

Based on the laws of thermodynamics, the heat equations, understanding of heat flow, yes.
As far as I know we don't have much real understanding of how human or even animal intelligence works. It may be that it is entirely based on "sophisticated, complex latent space" navigation or it may be that it has nothing whatsoever to do with that (or anything in-between).
Recent graduates would have at least played around with AI enough to notice how it can be incorrect or at least heard about this from peers. An older lawyer less familiar with technology is much less likely to have this experience. Furthermore, the lawyer blamed two recent graduates. I find it unlikely that two people together would make this mistake.

This seems like classic boomer behavior.
This is really just nitpicking, it's an incredible image that shows a huge amount of generalization.

If you think democracy is a system for obtaining good outcomes, then yes, it doesn't work too well. Actually I think we don't have any system for obtaining good outcomes consistently.

If you think democracy is a system for getting the government to do what the people want, then it's working as designed in many places.

The problem is not politicians, the problem is not democracy. We are the problem, we the people who want more more, and do not accept the consequences of our actions. We vote for cheap gas, then shift the blame wherever we can: to politicians, to democracy, to other countries etc.
You're not asking for the authority to accept you to march, you simply announce that you'll march, which, as a fundamental right, can't be rejected by the authorities beforehand unless there are serious reasons to believe that major trouble will occur. Though in the recent years several protests were forbidden by the authorities, it still is completely exceptional, and the marches happened anyway (and of course, major fights with the police ensued).
That's not at all what I talked about wondering about:

> When someone wants to contribute without understanding the code workflow, he should not contribute.

There are definitely many projects where you don't need to understand every single aspect of the codebase to be able to contribute a meaningful fix or even a feature.

It benefits the contributor and the project if they have a simple pointer to e.g. where the application logic code is, or where the distribution-related code is, etc.

I mean, I have multiple examples of recent and semi-recent government policies that I'm certain would lead to Paris being on actual fire if they were proposed in France, but in the UK they are met with apathy at best. Strikes of rail workers and doctors are of course strikes, but they are mostly limited to just not working, and the impact is mostly pissing off the population rather than the government. It's out of their view, it doesn't impact their lives in any way other than journalists asking annoying questions about it.
It doesn't really make sense to talk about an "average salary in the entire Europe" because you have really big discrepancies.

You have high paying locations like Switzerland, Norway, UK, Ireland, Germany, etc, lowish locations like France, Italy, etc, and really low locations like Poland.

Technically you could calculate an overall average but that number would be useless.
> Today’s infrared thermometers for fevers have a 2F accuracy. You’re telling me that you can calculate temperatures from around the world pre-1950s and trust that it’s consistent and accurate?

Yes. Believe it or not, the average of multiple calibrated measurements is more accurate than some random off the shelf consumer electronics. My laptop display has a delta E of about 20 out of the box. If someone calibrates it they could bring it down to 5, most likely. I have no trouble believing an actually decent panel can achieve less than 3.

I can probably finagle a way of measuring haemoglobin with my kitchen equipment and some reagents I order off eBay. I might even get one sig fig out of that. That doesn't mean the literal bottom shelf crap I use is going to be the absolute limit of possible precision.

I mean, what kind of argument even is that? "I can't make similar measurements using the equipment I have at home, therefore climate scientists must have either no idea what error bars are or are lying"?

Too much of a single thing is usually not good. Wild populations of animals have diminished rapidly. More people also means less space for the dwindling wild populations. Making all life on earth one species is not a good idea, one dimensional thinking is usually detrimental to the system.
I love the concept of point-free programming - write your function by simply concatenating the transformations you want.

I just hate reading the resulting code written by others. What information is expected to come in, and exactly what data passes from one step to the next, and in what position? Data type signatures only go so far.

Point-free means you have all that wiring in your head, without assistance from the notation.
I think the point is that Bing is competition, but they are not as good as Google's product.

So i.e. it is not simply the fact that Google is #1 "just because" and they are sitting there milking an inferior product and forcing it on everyone through backroom deals to keep the monopoly, but they are top because they have a better product and keep winning competitive bids as a result.

I think the fact that these failed pitches even happened (and happened multiple times in the past decade or so) shows that there is quite strong competition. It's not like this was just some unheard of startup sending emails to apple and not getting a response, it sounds like proper high-level stuff between two behemoths of tech (apple and microsoft), so it was a serious thing from the sounds of it.

Personally I use duckduckgo which I think uses Bing, and I am comfortable with it, but there you go.
