I am Swiss, and I think we should contribute as much as we possibly can, despite being a relatively small country without too much direct global impact.

But I'm curious about the legal technicalities here (because IANAL): You can surely argue for a country having to better protect its own citizens through e.g. adaptations, but no matter how you look at it I don't think Swiss emissions can reasonably be viewed as a proximal cause of any substantial climate-related harm to Swiss citizens. Comparing consumption-based emissions from OWID [1] shows CH is responsible for 118.68 million / 37.15 billion ≈ 0.3% of global emissions, so even going net-zero instantly would hardly make a dent. Under this perspective, even the most ambitious climate policy we implement would hardly protect our citizens from adverse impacts by a meaningful amount?

Does anyone who understands human rights law better than me have thoughts on this?

That would be a pretty far-fetched interpretation. Let's stick to the obvious.

One should be able to expect that a board of an association that is committed to a cause should have at least a few people on it who have formal training in that cause and appropriate professional experience.

Otherwise, you could ask yourself with good reason why they can't find any experts to officially represent their cause.
Yeah, the interface builders back then are also unsurpassed to this day. Much as I have my issues with VB as a language, the way you could build a GUI with a GUI was amazing. Better still, it worked back on school computers that of course didn't have any "programming" tools, but did come with MS office and the full VB "experience" installed for some reason.
spotify and xvideos
They have more than 2500 Members, you know every single one of them? Impressive.
That's seems a perfect story to put a little child to bed :D.

I have used a similar recursive story in the past. My son still jokes about it.
Go can be modeled with perfect accuracy. The feedbackloop is perfect.

LLMs have no feedback loop with reality if it is short circuited with itself. It needs fresh training data.
You're right. QT is a good choice if you are willing to work within the bounds of the framework. QT is definitely not a good choice if you want to make a lot of customizations. If you want to make an app like Spotify, don't use QT.
it's a hard problem, because when Google cares it might not be good for users of the various projects/tools/languages. these projects has specific goals (that serve Google's high-level goals in various ways) and circumstances (which many times lead to significantly different engineering trade-offs).

Google starts projects with a lot of initial investment (new language/compiler/toolset/SDK/std-lib/frontend-component-library), but then their boldness almost disappears, and it takes a lot of time for them to finally catch-up, and on top of that they usually take a long time to "care" about things important for users (non-google developers).

for their care/support/long-term-commitment to matter, first they (would) need to position themselves as downstream users of Flutter, and for that they first need to transform leadership into a community-driven something.

I would love to know what happened on Nintendo's side.

If it weren't Nintendo, one would think this could be a creative approach to reviving the console (and its sales).

It could also have been a debug config which made it through the release. I guess we'll never know but this is the part of tech which I love the most: finding ways to break outside the intended capabilities of a platform, just because.
Very much agreed. Even within my lifetime things have changed for the better ('better' = nicer for humans). When I was a kid aubergines had a strong bitterness that had to be soaked out of them with salt and water, and not with perfect success. Modern aubergines completely lack that bitterness.

Wild strawberries sound great but they are tiny, ripen very unevenly and don't even taste that exciting.

The breeding of grapes clearly continues, in a stall not far from me I can see grapes for sale that are literally the size of small plums. (edit: cultivated plums that is. Wild plums, you're welcome to them, small and sour https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullace https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sloe)

Whilst food tends to be much smaller, bitter or sour, tougher to chew, lower in sugar and would not sell in a supermarket.

I think that’s different. AlphaGo is using reinforcement learning in a context in which there is a clear evaluation function— did a strategy lead to a win or loss.
There is quite a big leap from perceived cureaucracy to the living practice of the death penalty. I think your comparison between EU and US is pretty much off. They are not in the same ballpark.

It's not the capitalism per se, but lack of free markets and overregulation. Humanity hasn't found yet a better way for resource allocation that capitalism.

Capitalism = the system where the ownership of the capital is by private persons. (as defined by the dictionary)

Is there a systemic problem that your auto dealership is not owned by government? May be the problem is that you can't open a new one, because of zoning laws or minimum wage or something else? No markets are free, but only in countries where markets have some degree of freedom you can have the abundance (and corresponding waste of the system).

Check all centralized systems of resource allocation - from socialism, highly centralized authoritarianism, theocratic monarchies or very large companies. No competition = more waste.

Any owner of a small business understands that there is no "flaw in capitalism" itself, because you can't force your clients to buy from you. You can only do that if you have cornered the market. You can't corner the market if you play by the free market rules. But if you need a "licence", "certificate" or other non-market tool to sell your goods to the customer this is the way to kill your competition.

Varoufakis has been wrong soo many times since Greece default that it's not even worth mentioning all his predictions.

Why exactly? With QML it’s incredibly easy to creat custom, animated and complex UIs.

The problem with default on a loan is that while both parties must bear some responsibility (both the giver and the taker), it will always be the loan taker that will be in a worse situation at the end (has less options, power, etc.).

I kinda have this idea that while psychedelics like LSD are the easiest to catch a ride with, it is specifically tea that can get you furthest. When I was reading "Dream of the Red Chamber" some of the descriptions of tea drinking were really psychedelic, like being transported into a different realm of heavenly purity that permeates everything with effortless perfection, etc. Certainly I never experienced anything like this with any drug.
btw, auto dealerships are like that because territorial exclusivity by the large companies, not the "capitalism".

Yea, for me it's largely the texture that I find so abhorrent! Since I have your attention, are there any products that you find are better in a jar as compared to fresh or in a can? I come from the US and while I would say we also have a wide variety of items in jars, daily staples I would say less so, but we use a lot more cans.

I've been here 1.5 years but I must confess I have little desire to experiment with jars because getting rid of them is a pain in butt given where I live. If the product is superior though, I can make the effort to dispose of the glass appropriately.
Are they doing science? Or are they litigating to influence their government based on the science. I'd argue that, contextually, they do have people with formal training on the cause - influencing governmental change.

Those folks can hire experts to interpret white papers if needed, but they aren't participating in science, they are consuming it.

(I don't need to be an excellent musician to advocate for the belief that Spotify doesn't equitably pay musicians. If I wanted to legislatively address that, I'd need lawyers and politicians, not musicians. And I could build a data driven case without many musicians at all.)
Like… who? I find that large banks, telecom, and what not have largely shifted their call centers to either America or the Philippines and you now get much more proficient customer service than, say, 10 years ago when everything was going to India. Chat based humans are also much more efficient imo.

Eh, Outside Lands is a giant clusterfuck for human drivers every year. If human drivers and wasted riders can't manage it, that a (inebriated, if not wasted) rider didn't close a door all the way is hardly am indightment of the whole thing.

If your opinion is that it's a beta, that's your perogative. For riders in San Francisco and LA, that prefer to use Waymo, self-driving taxis are here, now. The only problem now is scaling up the fleet as the real problem with Waymo is that cars are not always available, or they're backed up and I have to fall back to calling a Lyft.
For having taken that choice - getting off socials for ideological reasons - and now being left to do exactly what you suggest - phoning everybody regularly - I have realized that the cost in time is, in fact to trivial at all, quite the opposite.

For a few months now I set time aside every few days to do so, particularly on the week-ends. Problem is ofc that not everybody is available to answer when I call. They then call back at random times, which are not always the best, but you can't also just cut ppl off and say I'll call you later.

Digital social circles allow for asynchronous transmission, while regular comms require synchronous schedules which fast become a big opportunity cost.

As such, maintaining the knowledge of the current state of your social network without some form of localized broadcast mechanism is in truth quite expensive.
I have a CS/applied math background, my main job is software development, so I don't have problems with the software part. If you are interested in compiler design specifically, you can find a lot to read or to watch online.

When building my system, I was inspired by 8 bit retro computers like ZX Spectrum. Their architecture is straightforward and easy to understand.

Electronics just fascinates me, but I can't really point out a single source which gave me the insight. A lot of playing around with transistors, microcontrollers, logic gates gives the intution how to design stuff.
They were using libssh in 2015. (Edit, I did say golang, but after checking it was bitbucket that used golang)
This is legitimately insane. You have a court, which was created in an attempt to give legal options to victims of crimes committed by nation state and which could not be heard elsewhere.
And people are suing over whatever a tiny European state doesn't do to stop environmental harm. Which may or may not even effect the people who are suing at all.

And these people are from the country on earth where the population has the greatest control over their government. Switzerland isn't some rogue state, the population has legal means to force the government to do essentially whatever they want.
So the human rights violation is essentially being committed by the population themselves.

If Switzerland is commiting a human rights violation by doing this, what monumental human rights violation is committed by India. A country which uses the oceans to distribute it's waste globally? How about China, burning endless coal?

It really must be dismaying to see how little anyone actually cares about the environment on a global challenge, for someone who cares about the environment. Instead we have people arguing literal nonsense in a court.

I can't believe people buy or use his products. It's crazy that he's openly racist and far-right now yet spaceX still has NASA contracts.
I'm curious if countries like China, India, and Russia, have similar lawsuits and similar initiatives to reduce their emissions. I can't recall ever seeing a single story.
Me too, but I guess there could be even higher gains with SQLite when it's in-process...
Better to be explicit than hiding unsafe memory accesses under C++ stdlib classes like std::vector which don't do range checking either in operator[]. And in this sort of code, automatically injected runtime range checks would most likely hurt performance enough to matter.

I would still run the code through the Clang static analyzer and a couple of test runs in ASAN and UBSAN to be sure that nothing slipped through.
Another way to look at it is that if everyone was like Switzerland the CO2 (equiv.) emissions per capita would still rise and continue to cause climate change and injury.

Also, Switzerland has increased their consumption-based emissions by over 38% since 1990 while in the same time frame countries like France has reduced by 15%, Germany reduced by 30%, UK reduced by 23%, EU27 reduced by 20%.
It is a service that specializes in URL shortening and link management. It allows users to create shortened URLs that are easier to share, particularly on platforms like social media where character limits are a concern.

Additionally, Freshl.ink provides analytics features, allowing users to track the performance of their shortened links, including metrics such as clicks, geographic location of clicks, and referral sources. This can be valuable for marketers and businesses to gauge the effectiveness of their online campaigns.

Dunno how many this will be useful for here.
I doubt illustrators and digital artists(and their patrons) actually disagree to that line, they just hate AI image generator outputs and want them taken down. The amount of unintended strong negative sentiment an art incites isn't a proxy indication of its artistic value, I mean, I don't get why it's assumed to be one, left and right.
Is it me or does this seem wrong. Climate action or inaction is a decision we make as a society to tackle or not tackle. Not a "Human Right".
Russia is in full scale climate denial. China is building a lot of solar, wind, and nuclear but still also building coal. Don’t know about India but it seems the answer is mostly no.

I’ve always argued that if we can’t make non carbon emitting sources cheaper than coal and gas (full load leveled cost) and dispatchable (batteries) we have no hope of cutting emissions and everything else is theater.

Right now it seems that burning fossil fuel is still the cheapest way to generate energy without any regulations, taxes, or subsidies. Yes that includes nuclear.
How does anyone who was not there? The answer should be similar
This is legitimately insane. You have a court, which was created in an attempt to give legal options to victims of crimes committed by nation states and which could not be heard elsewhere.

Kind of an old article. It is pretty straight forward thing to do. If you spend enough time accurately load testing your environments you can dial in the container resources and shave thousands of dollars. Lots of places are too scared of under allocating. Limit and request exist for a reason. Limit is for surge and request is what is always guaranteed. It is okay to exceed your request as long as you balance add a scaling policy to balance out the surge. And be cautious with request and limit on memory not all applications benefit from this.

Attraction isn’t innate. It’s learnt. That’s why wherever you are in the world you will find people you are attracted to. It’s also why body types like the Kardashians are considered attractive today and were not 30 years ago.

If you are constantly presented with people from a narrow group to the exclusion of others you will reinforce prejudices.

One reason Asian men are deemed less attractive in the west is the way our media has traditionally portrayed them. K-pop and the Internet are starting to change that. Black women are also suffering under centuries of negative stereotyping. It’s the stereotypes that are unattractive. People are all unique.

Switzerland is the most democratic country you can find on earth. The population has an enormous power to compell the government.

If Switzerland does too little for the environment it can not happen against the will of the population. Surely having some foreign court compell them makes them overthink their wrong choices.
Yeah I continue to not understand the “late capitalism” label of current events. Very little of what we have today can be called capitalist in the original, competition-focused sense of the term. Most markets are very regulated and anticompetitive.

Very cool stuff!

Only nitpick I'd have is that author decided to use a custom-design cpu.

Ok, "discrete logic only!" is a valid choice. And then keeping complexity to a minimum weighs heavily. But the downsides of that choice are also considerable:

-No interrupts (which are very useful)

-No existing software base to tap from. Somewhat-useful C compiler helps.. somewhat.

But who am I to question author's choices for a hobby project like this? Great stuff in any case.
Even modern cellphone chips a far more than 20x the speed of a 100Mhz 486 outside of extremely pathological workloads. At minimum we’re still talking 64 Bit chips.

However, IMO simply thinking in terms of actual chips that existed isn’t that interesting. What would computing look like if the PIII was a 12 CPU at 500 MHz. That’s a little closer to 5% of modern chips and something nobody worked with.

Alternatively what the 486 era would have looked like with gigabytes of RAM and an SSD?
Ask HN: Are there problems with scientific consensus due to Anthropocene trends?
Lately, it has been common for some people to dismiss the emergence of any global problems, saying that "your sources simply came out of the scientific consensus", or even "the scientific consensus has gone crazy due to scientists' misconceptions about climate change and plastic pollution".

Are there ways to maintain confidence that these problems are real? Considering that this is not really my scientific field.
So we should punish nature? 3% of her global revenue?
"serfs were peasants who were bound to the land they worked on and were under the authority of the landowners or lords"

Last time I checked Twitter (the supposed lord) doesn't have the power to make you (the supposed serf) post on Twitter.

That is, I would say, a crucial distinction that makes the serf comparison ultra ridiculous.

Then again if Varoufakis said that the relationship between Twitter and its users is based on mutual benefit but Twitter gets more benefit, then it wouldn't make you as angry as saying that they people are serfs of techno-feudalists.

I agree, adding a few thoughts —

Because it’s not about solving a serious challenge facing humanity — it’s about the social credit of virtue signaling:

- Establishing consensus and working with stakeholders would be hard.

- Whining to an unelected, transnational body to force your “benevolence” on your nation is easy.

If people are concerned about the unrest in Europe (farmer protests; collapse of faith in institutions; rise of populists), or more broadly about delivering results on issues challenging humanity, this is counterproductive.
