My local favorite on the list of batshit crazy solutions to mitigate climate change effects is to build a giant dam underneath the Golden Gate Bridge by flattening the Marin Headlands.
The price tag is estimated at $50-100bn (£39-78bn), plus at least an extra $1bn (£784m) annually for maintenance.

If these large scale engineering projects are the main way to manage climate change, then it will start to touch our pocket books soon.
I personally like the ER diagram viewer in DBeaver. On a project with very little documentation, it was extremely pleasing to point it to the staging database and be able to visualize the relationships between various entities.

I cycled to and from school (and later University) on an expressway in New Zealand for about 10 years in my pre-teens and teenage years. Apparently the lead levels in the gutters of our main roads were so high that "some countries would consider mining it" (obviously not actually).
Tree planting might be able to offset some several percent of fossil fuel use. For the rest, the only option is to not keep burning that fossil fuel.

Apart from tree planting, technical processes of removing carbon from the atmosphere require a ridiculous amount of energy (and much more than the useful energy we got from burning the fossil fuel that released that carbon in the first place), and we're really going to need all that green energy for replacing fossil fuel usage, so carbon capture technology isn't really a serious answer either.
If you're not familiar with him, look up Central Washington University' Nick Zentner's channel on YouTube -- under his name, not the University's channel. In addition to earlier work, he just finished up an "A to Z" series on the scabland floods and related matters.

I love how you cited the Rockefeller Institute's URL, as if you're the first one to do so; the whole point of my pointing people to the Rockefeller data was so they could see for themselves. I also can't believe that you actually said "No state pays more outright than California"; anything else would be a surprise given how large the state's population is.

In any case, as I said in my previously cited comment, what matters is the net per capita amount, the difference between how much a state's citizens[1] pay to Washington versus how much they and their state get back from Washington. Californians overall benefited more from federal spending than they paid in federal taxes over the years I cited, just like every other state except three. That's not exactly the "California subsidizes all the hillbillies in the red states" mantra that is so often repeated online.

[1] Not the state itself, which does not pay a cent to Washington.
Is there some reason that open source is better?

Even open source software is opaque. You can't know that the software is unaltered when it's running on a machine. If that machine does something other than produce and print a paper ballot and provide a preliminary count, I'd say something is wrong. And if a closed-source machine prints the wrong ballot, it's for the voter to verify and object. Open source doesn't change that.

Open source seems to be an argument only if you want to have direct counting without an audit trail. If that's the case, the open source aspect is just obfuscating that the overall system is broken.
Literally every gene expression model ever published has come with some claim of novel biological discovery. If they didn't, they wouldn't be published in the biological literature -- nobody serious cares that a classifier was applied to a dataset.

Good papers will go so far as to take a random sample (or even better: all) of such "recommendations" and validate them using experiments. Then you attempt to quantify the success rate, the sensitivity, selectivity, etc. Did they do that here? We go back to the article:

> When her team put the prediction to the test in real cells called cardiomyocytes, the beating of the heart cells grew weaker.

OK. How many predictions did they test? How many failed for the one that succeeded?

...and later:

> Dr. Theodoris’s team followed the model’s advice, knocking down each of the four genes. In two out of the four cases, the treatment improved how the cells contracted.

So we have two fairly classic examples of cherry-picked experimental validation. How many predictions did they validate? Did they just select the ones they thought made sense? All we know, from this, is that they selected some subset of results to test, and failed roughly half the time in the latter experiment. That's not a great batting average for this kind of work.

None of this is new. We've been applying ML to these problems for decades. Wrapping this kind of stuff up in fuzzy claims of AGI is just another way of escaping scientific rigor via application of hype [1].

[1] To be clear, I'm not accusing the researcher of this. For all I know, the underlying paper is good. But this article is dumb.

The full sentence was "However, ToolJet enterprise edition already has this feature and there will be a conflict in the architecture if we merge this PR."

That explanation seems completely reasonable to me. Why should they maintain 2 different implementations of the same feature, 1 of which they didn't write in-house? Why should they spend time reviewing and merging something contributed by a third party who couldn't be bothered to read or follow their CONTRIBUTING.md, let alone something that hurts their own bottom line?

Most would consider it to be vanilla, when "vanilla" is used as a descriptor of the gameplay (i.e., as opposed to "modded"). There are some very minor differences, but almost anyone advertising a vanilla Minecraft multiplayer server is going to be using Paper or one of its predecessors/competitors. The released server.jar just really isn't optimized for more than one player.

Some things that you can tweak for performance reasons also affect gameplay. For example, you can tweak the radius at which items group together into stacks of entities. Enabling this can make certain farm builds not work, e.g. a piglin bartering farm might have the gold bar destined for one piglin merge with the bar destined for a neighbouring piglin, when in pure Vanilla settings that might not happen. Similarly, you can have XP orbs merge into single orbs with higher XP values. But this drastically changes how long it takes to use an efficient XP farm, where normally you would be waiting for minutes for your player to receive the XP one orb at time.
Most people in society throughout the ages have not done the majority of their thinking. It has been handed to them from a pulpit or something similar. Even without an explicit religion, people still want someone to follow, so now successful people are followed. Successful people don't have to be intelligent or even moral.

As a commoner, you can accept that pollution is terrible, but then immediately think that it can't be a big deal because the people on high are flying around in private jets and living in mansions. Do you think we can convince people of the importance of having a sustainable environment, while the people on high pay lip service to the cause and then blatantly contradict themselves by showing us how they live? How do you get common people to care about their environmental footprint when they're constantly told not to be content with what they've got?

How does humanity rein in its covetousness? Do you think humans can live sustainably without solving that problem?

They're at least spatially memory safe (bounds checks), which already helps a lot since buffer overflows account for more than 20000 vulnerabilities over the years.

C is allergic to fat pointers for reasons I don't understand and the bounds safe .at() method of std::span in C++ is only coming in C++26.

These two languages have a serious attitude problem towards security.

Also Delphi uses automated reference counting, bringing it more inline with Swift rather than your typical C++ codebase. (though sadly the implementation is a bit error prone due to the object/interface reference distinction)

If the US was an organism, what role would an under-educated X% play?

You say it’s a “cost” but equal education obviously isn’t a priority in our country and I can’t help but wonder who benefits from such a high percentage of illiteracy (this is semi-rhetorical).

I genuinely don’t think we’re tracking the cost appropriately nor implementing solutions with enough urgency; 10-15 years down the road this empire of ours is going to be far out-classed intellectually by countries that actually implement policy for the equitable benefit of everyone.

If I’m off base I’d appreciate an education on this topic as it’s quite gross to think about our elite institutions being proponents of eugenics in the past[1] and how that likely spilled over into the world-building we did after WWII (Kissinger etc).

Or put another way, how do we map “AI is going to save everyone” rhetoric to how history has actually gone, and what incentive do existing power structures have to change?

One option is https://github.com/akovacs/uploadserver - it's basically a nicer version of:

python -m http.server 8000

You first start one server on a desktop/laptop which has the software, and then any client (Android, iOS, PlayStation, Kindle, etc) with a web browser (no need to install any client software) can upload or download files from the web GUI.

You can download prebuilt binaries for x86-64 Linux, Windows, or Mac OS (sorry, no prebuilt binaries for Apple Silicon, but they could be added if there is sufficient demand) from https://github.com/akovacs/uploadserver/releases/ or compile from source using a nightly rust toolchain if you prefer.

Compared to cloud services or `python -m http.server 8000`, this is extremely fast since the server is written in rust, it is fairly simple (compiled and stripped binary is typically less than 3MB), it sends everything over local LAN, it seems to handle large files (over 4GB) fairly well, and you only need to install the software on one machine.

System Engineering is a technical profession. I honestly don't think is does anyone any good to avoid calling nontechnical SEs bad at the job. The truth is important especially when it leads to the development of metal tubes that fly 150+ people through the air at hundred of miles per hour.

With that said, a nontechnical SE is a sign of a fundamentally broken system and org. Someone had to hire them for the role. Meaning they were interviewed and deemed fit for the role, likely with room to grow given more experience and opportunities to learn from. While I would say a nontechnical SE is bad st their job, stopping there doesn't fix the problem at all and its important that the context of why they had that job isn't lost.
You maybe interested in a project I've been working on (nix-server-tools): https://github.com/kish10/nix-server-tools.

The goal is to create tools using Nix to make it easy to deploy applications on a server.

----

So far the project can:

- Create docker-compose files that: deploy a `Caddy` server & server applications in a reverse proxy through the Docker bridge network.

---- This way Caddy & Let's Encrypt takes care of TSL certificates, while thanks to Nix & Docker we simply need to create docker-compose files. (for an easy deployment)

- Deploy a `paperless-ngx` application that backups files using `borgbackup` & sends an error email when the backup fails.

----

Next week I plan to add:

- A Nix generated `cloud-init.yaml` file to make it easy to initialize & setup new servers (for easy & quick deployment of applications that need to run on additional servers).

----

Examples:

- Deploying a "hello-test-app": https://github.com/kish10/nix-server-tools/blob/main/reverse...

- Deploying a "hello-test-app" & "paperless-ngx -- with borgbackup & error emails": https://github.com/kish10/nix-server-tools/blob/main/reverse...

----

I just started open sourcing the code this week, so there isn't a lot of documentation & examples.

I could definitely use feedback & contributions, so I'd appreciate it if you would take a look.
Hmm, looking into it further:

* Zero water does claim they remove microplastics larger than 10 microns

* Consumer Labs claims they actually increase microplastics

* From Amazon comments the discrepancy may be due to particle size. The manufacturer claims it relates to cleaning techniques

I now feel I need more info but am not sure how to evaluate further. The consumer lab report did say one brand fully removed them. The report is paid only however.
Delibrate phrasing.
Any chance you could raise an issue?
So what? That's the business model they've chosen; it's their repository, and no one is entitled to merge things in.

If people care that much, they can maintain a fork, and add the features they want. If the fork ends up becoming more popular, it will end up with more contributors and become the de-facto main repo.

Yes, this potential contributor ended up having their time wasted, but they clearly didn't read the instructions for contributors, which asks contributors to open an issue first to discuss the planned feature. If they'd done that, then they wouldn't've wasted time.

I agree it's reasonable, but the claim there are "technical reasons" for the rejection is bullshit. They're obviously rejecting it largely (if not entirely) because it's a feature they sell in the paid version.

If the rejection was actually because of technical merit they would have (1) explained in more detail than "conflict in the architecture" and (2) left the PR open for the submitter to fix.

Yes they do?

There's only a few lines in the entire thing, so I don't know how you can miss that twice they say they don't collect anything in the first place, and then they say:
"Since we do not collect such information, there's no possibility of us using, sharing, or selling this data."

If you want to say that this technically isn't a declaration, I would simply disagree and count it as one.

Frankly, being an open source app, I would be fine if it even said something like "It's open source. If you think it does anything nefarious, go ahead and show it." without even a suggestion of a promise. But they actually do make a declaration of both intent and action.

Any other data that isn't personal data they might have, like their download estimates or something, is theirs none of our business.
The Surprising History of Claims for Life on the Sun (2011)
They already have the feature implemented, in their paid Enterprise Edition. Why would they accept an outside contribution for code they've already written? If they want it in the community edition, they'd just add their own implementation, and then not have two different implementations of the same feature to maintain. That sounds exactly like "not fitting into the architecture".

Regardless, they are not obligated to accept any contribution that they don't want, for whatever reason, even if that reason is "profit" and "business model".
