China is currently directly involved in helping Africa leapfrog the fossil fuel technology that the industrialized West relied on for economic growth. You won't find much about this in the Western corporate media for fairly obvious reasons, but clearly the world can completely eliminate fossil fuel use within 50 years.

My point is this trajectory still absolutely guarantees steady warming at around current rates 0.1 - 0.2 C per decade IIRC for the next several hundred years. All the tech fixes, aerosol injection etc., only mask the issue for a decade or two and are best classified as worthless scams. The only option is adaptation to new conditions, with replacement of fossil fuels with renewables and storage as priority #1.

Of course fossil fuel producers and exporters like the United States, Russia, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia etc. don't want to hear this, but that cash cow is going the way of whale oil and the kerosene lamp, and fast. There will be much howling and gnashing of teeth.

As far as climate refugees, well maybe - but don't underestimate the capability of humans to adapt to new (degraded) conditions. I'd expect a steep decline in birthrate across much of the world as the pressure rises, however.

I agree with all of this. The example of the patent on steam engines is fascinating, thank you! It's certainly true government granted monopolies are far from the ideal incentive structure, with many downsides. (And lobbying for EG patent extensions likely IS rent-seeking). Advance market commitments and other systems likely have better characteristics.

I was rather objecting to the misuse of a technical term, and the idea that we should expect all innovation to happen without reasonable incentives.

Most OSS maintainers don't even pay for GitHub, so you're competing with free. I for one certainly won't pay for a service for the OSS projects I maintain for free.

(Or another framing: I might pay for such a service, if the service could demonstrate that it would save me N hours of work fixing bugs instead of costing me N hours of work triaging false positives. Nobody has presented such a demonstration yet, which is also why turning non-LLM program analysis tooling into paid products is such a struggle!)

ok so exactly what I said then.

im sure its just me (and not directed at your reply), but I find 'agent' to be a very obnoxious term that obfuscates what is really going on. It's not a magical being working on your behalf with agency, it's that there are inherent limitations to attention, and overcoming them usually involves having multiple models cooperate on the inputs and outputs.

the number of agents is not necessarily related to the number of distinct jobs you need done, after all a single job could still perform best with multiple "agents" due to limitations in attention.

Being at an Ivy doesn't buy you much 10+ years into your career as an ordinary applicant in most industries, a lot of people hardly make it that far down a resume before tossing it. Getting your first job out of college (or getting recruited while in college) and knowing people from an Ivy who are 10+ years into their career and being able to skip the applicant pile is very different.

Companies just don't want to give people long stretches of time off of course.

However, I suspect that another important dynamic is that it's essentially impossible at a small firm because there aren't a lot of people to cover the workload. Fast forward and you now have 5,000 people some reasonable portion having been there for 5+ years. OK, how do you initiate a sabbatical program that doesn't lead to a ton of people taking time off or screwing the long-term employees?

Back in my home country you are either rich enough to pay tuition or you study hard

I would call those a borderline scam if people wouldn't getting exactly what they want: a cheap low effort bachelor degree.

I've opted out of everything. Sure getting work was harder but everyone I worked with loved my work so I always had a path ahead. Normally I can only get work if someone over there interacted with my previous work so they know I'm legit.

Still can't deny that my life would be easier if I just got the cheap McUniversity degree.

So, a pricing exploit based on arbitrage between the rigorous description (and enforcement) of payment for a service in one direction, and the comparatively un-policed description of the service delivered, in the other?

Also critical, which you failed to notice, is the fact that this anthropogenic-forced climate change is happening 10,000+ times faster than prior unforced climate changes. Changes that took a million years now happen in a mere century.

Systems require time to adapt and this is essentially demanding ecosystems adapt to an explosive shock wave.

When speed increases by orders of magnitude, the phenomena become not only quantitatively different, they are fundamentally different. For example, consider sipping your coffee only 1000x as fast as normal; instead of ~one seconds from table to lip, it's a millisecond. You'll need to accelerate your cup to 2000 fps, almost Mach3, then decelerate it. In is not even close to the same sort of event, considering the required explosive-level forces involved.

Some ecosystems, such as certain bird nesting patterns can move that fast. But others, such as trees with a reproduction cycle of centuries — and the habitats dependent upon them, may be wiped out before their younger generation can establish itself closer to the poles...

With climate change, it really is true that speed kills.

The problem is that while they have most of the good learning resources locked away, they are frequently aligned towards other goals, and they are structured in ways that make that clear.

I didn't go to college because I was rebuffed by the sharp edges. And honestly it is difficult to not resent at times my peers that both did and failed to use the resources available to them.

I wish it was just accepted that ability comes in different forms from different sources, and should be cultivated wherever it is at, without social gatekeeping, status games, etc. The banality and simultaneously seriousness of these rituals repulses me.

Because the principle you suggest applies in reverse as well. If an autodidact knows more than someone with those resources available - then they are so much better equipped to learn the material that they should be an automatic hire and you should ignore anyone else unless they are significantly more capable/learned.
this. all these articles written about LLMs exploiting zero days completely miss the point. No researcher uses it this way, they use it to explore the semantic meaning of the code to discover and confirm the vulnerabilities. It is a more easily used SAST.
I agree. It seems like an effort to criticize issues of late stage capitalism without sounding like a socialist.

>Housing went up globally because of local policies all across the world all at the same time, huh?

1. source for "Housing went up globally"?

2. You don't really need every jurisdiction to by NIMBY for global house prices to go up. For instance if half the world is NIMBY and the other half is "meh", and housing prices in the NIMBY half went up 50% while the other half stayed the same, you'd still observe that "Housing went up globally".

I think you're absolutely right, but you do have to learn a subset of LaTeX to get anywhere. Words doesn't require you to learn anything to start typing, which will prevent you from actively using many of the features within Word. At least with LaTeX you're less likely to start out on the wrong foot, but you're also more likely to not start out at all.

But there's certainly a good amount of cargo cult in many or most LaTeX templates as well.

I solve this by saving links in Org Roam with links to other notes for related topics. Then when I want to find things, I can look at the backlinks for some topic note.

There are lots of similar tools that also support this flow; basically anything that supports note backlinks (Obsidian, Joplin, Logseq, etc.). I don't ever really use browser bookmarks, because I never found myself actually doing anything but saving links (I never referred to them later). I actually find and navigate to links I save in my notes all the time though.

It is and it isn't. I have a friend who was a professional (wildlife, among other things) photographer in the days of manual cameras. He carried multiple camera bodies, and _very_ expensive glass, but his real secret to getting the National Geographic Shot (which he had done, for real; as in printed in the magazine, back when that mattered) was to shoot a lot of film. And by a lot, I mean a lot. Like, routinely more than 1k frames a day.

Which is to say, whilst those constraints were / are real, they are mostly to do with money, and those who weren't constrained by that got the best results.
