How do you know they didn't stop to ask if they should? And concluded after, detailed and deep study, that yes, they should. Perhaps they (or someone else) already did studies of the impact of blocking rivers partially or totally? Are you, perhaps, making assumptions about what they did without first stopping to think if you should make such assumptions?

ESG itself isn't new. To pick on Environment specifically, according to [0] fossil fuel divestment campaigns have been around for over a decade now.

It's also not really American politics: concern for the global environment is a global movement. Most Western democracies have significant environmental planks in the platforms of whichever party is furthest left, and/or a whole Green Party.

Anti-environmentalism exists as more of a USA political movement, although it's starting to bleed into other countries (and into the financial world).

As someone who uses Clear, it has a significant benefit in that, for a comparatively low cost, it makes time through the airport more consistent.

If I have priority check-in through airline status, or am not checking baggage, then security waiting time is the main variable in the time to get from the terminal entrance to the gate (we'll ignore disaster airports like LAX where time from the freeway to the terminal is a major variable). If Clear lets me essentially not wait in line for security, that reduces an expectation of a, say, 0-45 minute time through security to a 0-5 minute time through security. Even if it might often not save me any time getting through security, the reduction in uncertainty means I can safely plan to arrive at the airport much later, while having the same low chance of missing the flight.

Some airline status provides priority security, but it is less common, usually at higher levels, and less consistent outside major hubs for each airline. Flying business or first would work, but would be vastly more than the cost of Clear for frequent travellers, while providing few other benefits for short flights.

In Europe, some airports just directly offer a paid priority security option, which sometimes is actually quite inexpensive. But it seems this may not be allowed by the TSA, and the alternative is the fiction of Clear supposedly offering some identity verification benefit.
The UK is obsessively into exercise. It might be because a trip to the doctors for anything short of a bullet to the head invariably involves being told to exercise more.
Plastic pollution is the pollution that is causing climate change. The process of producing plastic emits huge amounts of nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas that's nearly 300x more potent than CO2.

"Greenhouse gas emissions from the plastic lifecycle threaten the ability of the global community to keep global temperature rise below 1.5°C. By 2050, the
greenhouse gas emissions from plastic could reach over 56 gigatons—10-13 percent of the entire remaining carbon budget. "

Why is this a bad thing?

Assume one guy in my team does ALTER SYSTEM on a cloud managed DB. Next month he leaves, later someone redeploys the DB, nothing works and nobody knows why. Declarative config and IaC has become standard operations to solve real world problems.

Besides that, if I wanted to operate the system internals of a DB myself I wouldn’t be using a cloud-hosted version in the first place. I pay them precisely to manage all these details so I don’t have to think about it. If I don’t want that there are a lot cheaper alternatives.
So we can agree that this thing is just a dev kit waiting for a killer app and falsely marketed by Apple to consumers?

Fair. Maybe they could be in separate sections like “For your comfort” and “Critical safety instructions”. The broader idea is that people should know the gist of why they’re being told not to do a thing, and that it’s for their own good. In this case the instruction isn’t to avoid them puking so that a janitor doesn’t have to clean it up (along the same lines of “no black rubber soles on the gym floor”), but so it doesn’t put them in intensive care.

I'd be more than happy having a period of time where these things can't be taken into account (like bankruptcy). But if you have repeat DUIs / reckless driving incidents, you've proven that at least currently you can't be trusted to drive safely. Having a job where operating a vehicle as part of your job isn't a human right so I don't see anything wrong with saying "you're not allowed to have this job." Isn't it much more humane to do that in the application process than firing the candidate in their first week because the insurance will not cover them? Isn't it wrong to force the insurance to cover someone at a loss, or force the employer to pay more to cover this person who probably shouldn't be driving anyway?

I think that's part of why people are disillusioned, because ESG lumps several incomparable verticals and quantitatively rank them.

If you consider how adept they are at fishing for example, it doesn't seem like a leap that they've have the spatial awareness and wherewithal to recognize that falling onto something far below is scary.

I suspect the human understanding of these types of dangers becomes cerebral, but it originate in much more instinctual parts of us which we share with countless other animals. The part where it becomes cerebral might trick us into thinking it's entirely based upon knowledge, intricate abstractions of the world around us, and the intelligence required to use those properly. I'm not sure of course, it's all conjecture. It doesn't surprise me that penguins know not to fall far onto hard things though.

As a millennial who has done both embedded and web it doesn't make me sigh at all and usually I find people with that line of thought are just being elitist.

The amount of technology and number and size of assets in a game now is just insane, it is in no way at all comparable to the garage projects for 8bit consoles.

Remember, games used to have to be ported - they were so locked into their particular platform/hardware that porting a game was essentially a total rewrite every single time. Nowadays we can write once, run on every single platform with just hooks into platform specific libs swapped out.

Modern day developers aren't stupid; we're just all used to our current environments, but I would bet that if we all needed to, we could just as easily jump back in to writing everything in asm and custom tailoring it for a particular CPU/hardware. But then modern games would be impossible to actually get finished.
The inline asm syntax was designed to match the Intel asm documentation.

A hidden feature of the D inline assembler is the compiler knows which registers are read/written, so there's no need for the programmer to explicitly specify it. The compiler will also figure out the right addressing mode for local variables, so the programmer is relieved of that, too.
This map we made does the best in this metric we invented!
Why do you need to "prevent companies from being overcautious?" It's their money they're spending, it's their customer relationships they're putting at risk, it's their liability they're increasing by having someone with multiple DUI convictions driving around the work truck.

Yeah, I got excited when I saw this and saw "nvAlt 2" in the title, thinking someone was forking and modernizing it. But this seems to just be a link to the original project.
> writing code should be actually seen as part of the "thinking process"

I agree. This is how I work as well. I start coding as quickly as possible, and I fully plan on throwing away my first draft and starting again. I do a fair bit of thinking beforehand, of course, but I also want to get the hidden "gotchas" brought to light as quickly as possible, and often the fastest way is to just start writing the code.
The thing that blows my mind about the SNES is that even its onboard RAM can't be accessed at the nominal 3.58MHz clock; the system slows down for that.

Always confused me why the SNES was so paltry with its speed when the competitor TurboGrafx-16 usually ran at 7MHz, and also had a 6502-family CPU that required similar memory timing. But the TurboGrafx flopped (in the west) and the SNES was a hit world-wide, so I guess they did something right.

> "What " might be a different token than "What" but the total token count shouldn't increment, would just be a different token, right?

The input string "What" (without trailing space) tokenizes into 1 token. The input string "What " tokenizes into 2 tokens. In theory, one might have a tokenizer that would simply tokenize "What " into a single token, but the actual tokenizers we have will tokenize that into at least 2 tokens.

> Curious then why this is called "LLaMA 3 tokenizer" what does it have to do with llama3?

When you input text into any of the LLaMA 3 models, the first step in the process is tokenizing your input. This library is called "LLaMA 3 tokenizer", because it produces the same tokenization as the official LLaMA 3 repo.

When I said that different models use different tokenization schemes, I am talking in comparison to other models, such as LLaMA 1, or GPT-4. Different models use different tokenizers, so the same text is tokenized into different tokens depending on if you're using GPT-4 or LLaMA 3 or what not.
