> Companies with shareholders, expecially long term institution investors, can be bent to care about more than simple profits - while still profiting albeit not as much as if they chased nothing but maximal short term gains.

I said companies care about profits, not short-term or long-term profits, and the distinction between short- and long-term still doesn't bring in ethics.

> Pressure is on various traditional fossil fuel comanies to pivot into being long term energy providers rather than being solely relient on fossil fuel extraction.

And that pressure isn't working, because corporations care about profits not "pressure".[1] Note that the downtick in production is clearly explained by the pandemic; oil and gas have returned to almost pre-pandemic levels, and coal, arguably the worst of the three, has surpassed pre-pandemic levels.

> Countries are well able to strike deal with fossil fuel extractors to invest in parallel atmospheric carbon extraction (although that's largely a kiss on a sabre cut to date).

This is exactly the sort of pro-corporate nonsense that I'm talking about here. Fossil fuel extractors should be forced, not asked, to pay, not get paid for the damage they are causing. Why on earth would we pay our tax money to subsidize the companies who knew about climate change and tried to discredit it for decades, and continue to profit from pulling carbon out of the ground and distributing it into our atmosphere? You're literally proposing we reward these companies for the harm they cause, at the same time as openly admitting it has so far produced no results.

At some point you've got to admit you are more pro-corporate than you are pro-solving climate change if this is the sort of solution you think is reasonable. Mind you, I'm not questioning your intentions here, I'm saying intentions don't matter here.

> That said large scale consumers, entire countries, purchasing blocs, can put pressure on resource providers to change behaviour, and on secondary processing to take increased input from recycled materials.

Recycling plastic isn't real, it's a greenwashing campaign by petroleum companies.[2][3][4] This is not a solution, will never be a solution, and was never even intended to be a solution.

I'll send $500 to a charity of your choice if you can show me booting current Fedora, firing up GNOME or KDE and failing to take a single screenshot. Same offer if you can do Sway and grim. And running an X11-only abandonware screenshot tool doesn't really count whenever they tend to ship with supported tools.

And knowing how all this works, it's exceedingly hard to imagine screensharing working, but not screenshots (it would mean you have managed to get dmabuf+pipewire working while somehow having XDG Portals misconfigured badly enough to somehow only break screenshots. It's contrived to the point of being a condemenation of the distro in question, if it's actually even a real scenario.) I've been taking screenshots in Sway for longer than I can remember, GNOME and KDE have supported the same screenshot interfaces for literally years.

(Unsurprisingly, I also send dozens of screenshots to the work chat or coworkers on a daily basis. I've been using Grim since I went to Europe over 5 years ago. Same program. Same hotkey binding. Same PNGs dumped into a dir.)
Tesla has proven many times that will flex pricing to move supply. Not having dealers gives them a huge advantage in that they have higher margins from which to offer discounts.

You seem obsessed with price, and in terms of price Tesla really can't be beat. Best selling vehicles in the world right now. Good luck betting against them.
I'm the owner of a Light Phone II [0] and (other than battery life), the biggest downside to the Light Phone I can envision for most people is the absence of apps like Uber, Apple Pay and Spotify. I think 5G isn't that necessary on a phone like that, except maybe for future-proofing.
This phone seems to have a camera, though, and access to Play Store (although it will likely be messy) really sets it apart from most "minimal" phones out there. Plus, a real keyboard might attract the people who despise the on-screen one on the Light Phone. They're really devices of different classes at this point, though. The price does seem awkwardly low, however.

No, you're hearing me talk about $25 heads of lettuce like they're a complete non-starter. Ag has some of the tightest margins of any industry and we're all still going broke every time we go to the grocery store. Ignoring the screaming match over immigration and migrant labor that's guaranteed to trigger once someone points out who's most likely to service any major increase in demand for ag labor, the added costs associated are absolutely going to get passed on to consumers.

I find Wikipedia's frontend more enjoyable than AARoads. It's understandable as the community of editors probably wasn't as technical as some other communities, but it feels a bit slow, there's no search, and there are a number of broken links.
There are so many great mathematical PDFs available for free on the Internet, written by academics/educators/engineers. A problem is that there is a huge amount of overlap. I wonder if an AI model could be developed that would do a really good job of synthesizing an overlapping collection into a coherent single PDF without duplication.

Whoops, you are right. I think it's too late to edit my original post.

The point still stands, though, you have to get to nearly 8km/s otherwise you aren't in orbit and you fall back into the atmosphere.

You can't get to anywhere near that speed while still in the atmosphere - SR-71s only manage about 1km/s, and because kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed, at that point you are only 1/64th of the way there.
I don't think any compiler implements that yet.

It's one possible theory, and no doubt, at the very least, it was part of the reason they died. But that's not the only smoking gun.

E.g. For at least 200k years, we can tell by fossils from the middle east that we made many attempts to spread to Europe, but were always pushed back. Fun fact: Neanderthals actually had substantially bigger brains that we do today (their average size was about 1400-1500ccs. Subtract the volume of a tennis ball from that and you'll get the average size of our brains today). Neanderthals were smart, tough, mofos.

So what changed 50k years ago which finally let us succeed? Well, the climate was warming from the last ice age, and Neanderthals were very much cold-adapted hominids. Their short, stocky legs and heavy muscular arms were great at sneaking through the woods and stabbing a deer with a spear, but when the climate changed the woods disappeared, those short legs, hauling a very heavy upper-body musculature, were not so good at running the deer down on a plain.

Honestly, we have no real definitive answer to why we are here and they aren't. Like anything else, probably it was a complicated process in which lots of factors--including dumb luck--played a role.

For about 4 million years, the earth was very hospitable to all kinds of species of Homo--we find their bones, in a kaleidoscope of shapes and sizes, all over the old world. Since the last ice age, however, Homo has been having a really rough time of it. And we are the only humans left.

If you were locked in a room with 10 people, and one by one they started to disappear, when you were the only one left, you might wonder whether it would happen to you too.....

ChatGPT helped a lot. I had no experience working with ncurses for example, and gpt has been great at providing boilerplate code, as well as at iterating over smaller bits of code, to refactor or add features

I see where you're coming from, but I think it's meaningfully more privacy-conscious if you're unlikely to actually spend much time in Play Store apps.

I realize it's a bit weird to say "we're more privacy conscious because we made the UX worse", but such is the inherent contradiction in all of these "a phone to make you less addicted to your phone" products. And although no one has cracked it so far, I do think there's a place in the market for a device like this.
It is a bizarre take. This isn't a "both sides" thing. Only one side (Trump supporters) made refusing to wear masks or vaccinate a part of their political identity, specifically to spite "the left." Whereas every "liberal" I'm aware of wore a mask because of the pandemic, out of a concern for their own health.

> the individual desire to increase personal happiness beyond basic needs for reproduction, significantly outweighs their desire to end that same extreme poverty condition for others...my hypothesis is that this is a learned/taught perspective, and based on a foundational idea that is no longer true, aka a myth.

I think you're missing my point. My point is that, before we even get to your hypothesis about why the claim you make is true, we first need to agree that it is true. And I don't think it is. I think people in developed countries have a significant desire to help people in less developed countries--but our political system, which allows corrupt governments to stay in power even though their actions are making their people starve, frustrates that desire. We have been sending huge amounts of aid to the Third World for more than half a century, and we continue to do so, but it hasn't helped and it isn't helping.

In other words, to the extent that people in developed countries believe that they might as well focus on increasing their own personal happiness, it's because they don't see that trying to help people in less developed countries accomplishes anything. That is indeed a "learned perspective", but it's learned from actual experience of the effects of aid over the past half century and more, not from any kind of "myth" about scarcity. Indeed, if people in developed countries really believed that resources like food were scarce, we wouldn't have been sending all that aid to less developed countries for more than half a century. It's precisely because we know that we have excess resources and can afford to send them elsewhere to help, that there has been widespread political support in developed countries for sending all that aid. Any reduction in that support doesn't come from beliefs about scarcity; it comes from observing that the actual consequences of the aid are not the intended ones.

(Note, btw, that the existence of "excess resources" in developed countries for things like food depends on people in those countries creating wealth over and above the needs of bare subsistence. So "the individual desire to increase personal happiness beyond basic needs" in developed countries is required in order for there to be excess basic needs to be sent as aid to less developed countries.)

I love his mad scientist project (I liked the characterization from some comments below "slow descent to madness") and I'm glad he got enough funding from patrons

Is it practical? No, but he had real progress (he's not just walking in circles) and he has acquired real engineering chops in meantime

Also there are other marble engineers in Youtube and he checks out their progress as well, see this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLD_Nl12oacv he left a comment. I think this kind of cross-polination is important

So I think he will eventually ship something (and this something might mean a music video on Youtube but I hope it also mean a live concert)

edit: if I had to criticize him, it would be only about his worship of the likes of Elon Musk. But, it's pretty tame/harmless (if a bit cringe) and if it inspires him to do better engineering, all the better
Nice breakdown of the actually relevant figures.

>> The bad news is that energy-related emissions rose in 2023. But the good news is that continued expansion of clean energy technologies meant that global energy-related emissions rose less strongly than in 2022, even as total energy demand growth accelerated.

>> Emissions increased by 410 million tonnes, or 1.1%, in 2023 – compared with a rise of 490 million tonnes the year before – taking them to a record level of 37.4 billion tonnes.

>> An exceptional shortfall in hydropower due to extreme droughts in the US, China, and several other economies resulted in over 40% of the rise in emissions in 2023 as countries turned largely to fossil fuels to plug the gap. Had it not been for the unusually low hydropower output, global emissions from electricity generation would have declined in 2023, making the overall rise in energy-related emissions significantly smaller.

It's impressive that the world (admittedly, driven by advanced economies) is getting a place of increasing our global energy production while decreasing emissions.

Quotes about Malbolge:

"The day that someone writes, in Malbolge, a program that simply copies its input to it's output, is the day my hair spontaneously turns green. It's the day that elephants are purple and camels fly, and a cow can fit through a needle's eye."

"There's a discussion about whether one can implement sensible loops in Malbolge—it took many years before the first non-terminating one was introduced. A correct 99 Bottles of Beer program, which deals with non-trivial loops and conditions, was not announced for seven years; the first correct one was by Hisashi Iizawa in 2005."

If you run a trial like this hoping to get an idea of what effect the thing you're doing has, you have two things to worry about (using the terms common at least in econ here). The first is internal validity: Does what you're doing give you a good estimate (i.e., not biased) of the effect you're trying to estimate. The second is external validity: Does your result tell you enough about what would happen if you did the thing you did, but outside your trial context.

If you do a trial of four-day workweeks, you're probably always going to have issues with the latter for any feasible setup. As you allude to, the companies that self-select into participating in such a trial are probably not a good representation of the wider economy, even if you randomize among them.

Now if you randomize rollout of four-day weeks at least among those willing to participate, and you didn't lose about 50% of participants between the start of your trial and the follow-up survey, you would at least get an unbiased estimate of what the policy did for those companies. But alas, they don't even do that part.
I don't want to live in a society that caters to the most selfish and ignorant among us. People get sick, but we don't have to needlessly do so. If you're not worried about it that doesn't mean you should have the right to bring it to other people.

> Second, our larger programming tasks were taken the LeetCode repository of skills-based interview questions. These questions may not be indicative of industrial practice (Behroozi et al., 2019). This is partially mitigated by the fact that they are indicative of programming tasks people carry out and study for in the hiring process.

It doesn't seem like they tested "boring" 9-5 programming, or programming net new features.
CO2 emissions are rising year on year, even as we approach the 1.5C mark (2031 or so) and hurtle towards 2C (2037 if memory serves). Even in countries where emissions per capita are dropping, not enough is being achieved. What's worse is that that IPCC acknowledges we'll exceed this:

> 1.5°C emission pathways are defined as those that, given current knowledge of the climate response, provide a one- in-two to two-in-three chance of warming either remaining below 1.5°C or returning to 1.5°C by around 2100 following an overshoot.[0]
