> the federal government doesn't interrupt the Constitution, the courts do

I'm hate to be the one to inform you, but the court system is part of the government. Indeed courts pertaining to federal laws are part of the federal government.

Again, unless you are literally the federal government of the United States, the constitution doesn't constrain your actions.
Would spending 100 trillion dollars that we don't have cause more deaths than it prevents, due to increased poverty and rising cost of living? That's all I'm really asking here. Has anyone bothered to run the numbers?
On certain topics related to a confluence of judgment for real-time decisions and lived experience, no.

Any aerospace engineer could credibly comment on the avionics. Any pilot could comment on basic emergency procedure compliance. Any ATC could comment on route planning.

But, no one aside from another military pilot could judge the totality of that military pilot's judgment on that day.

The same would apply to subjects like emergency trauma, combat, firefighting, an all professional athletic competitions.
Enjoy the warmer weather.
This is a fantasy.

Trump just won an election in a very large part because -- and I quote -- "Prices are high!"

People were talking about gas prices, food prices, etc...

Any politician that would raise prices deliberately for any reason will be immediately voted out and replaced by literally anybody that doesn't do so, even someone like Trump.

The evidence for this should be fresh in your collective minds right now.
Or, hey, maybe we've just had different experiences, and are using these tools differently? I even concede that I may not be great at prompting, which could be the cause of my problems.

I'm not arguing that writing everything yourself leads to higher quality. I'm arguing that _in my experience_ a) it takes more time and effort to read, troubleshoot and fix code generated by these tools than it would take me to actually write it myself, and b) that taking the time to read the documentation and understand the technologies I'm working with would actually save me time and effort in the future.

You're free to disagree with all of this, but don't try to tell me my experience is somehow lesser than yours.
What's the point of NATO membership, when chief elect is openly saying that he is not going to help if Russia will make move into Baltics.

Personally I would expect that Poland with cooperation with Czech Republic (they have whole nuclear research facility north of Prague) would be able to do it in short amount of time - less than 5 years.
I am sure that Poland would be eager to develop a nuclear arsenal. Countries like Germany, Italy and Turkey could also easily develop one if they thought that the NATO nuclear umbrella was unreliable.

Well according to your own data which shows the average comfortably below the target number, nothing will happen and nobody will suffer?
I haven't seen anybody, regardless of org, procedures or whatever to never ship a bug he himself could not debug.

Hell, I don't even see it happening in OS space with dozens of eyes on years-long PRs.

At some point you'll write and ship a bug that you yourself can't debug in an appropriate time frame alone and needs more eyes.

This isn't Harry Potter. Text doesn't change.

New revisions are issued, but the text changes no more in those instance than it does when a publisher releases an update to a print work originally published in 1985 with a second edition. The text of the second edition might differ from the first edition, but the first edition's text doesn't change, and the first edition is still the first edition (instead of the first and second editions being synonymous). And the publishers of the print editions could try lying about the identity of these two distinct manifestations the way that online publishers lie about the identities of the works they publish, but no amount of lying about it makes the lie true.

Text doesn't change.
The article you posted says:

"Now that we have succeeded in capturing the natural climate variability, we can see that the projected anthropogenic warming will be much greater than that.”

That does not seem to support your claim of "natural rise".
I envy your optimism but I see no evidence that this will be the case. People want to believe all sorts of things and they'll reject all evidence that contradicts their world view. Just look at:

- Millions who died in Covid

- Vaccines in general

- "The election was stolen"

- Wind turbines are killing the whales [1];

- "There's a migrant crime wave"

And so on.

As long as the cost of climate change can be shifted to the Global South, by force when necessary, it will continue. It's sobering how cruel people can be, particularly in groups, if they feel like their way of life is threatened, or even when they might theoretically be slightly inconvenienced, as demonstrated by the recent protests in Kayesville, UT over providing warming centers for people in need when the weather gets too cold [2].

It is possible to include CPython in a CGO program - allowing Python to be executed from within the CGO process directly. This comes with some complexities - GIL and thread safety in Go routines, complexity of cross-compiling between architectures, overhead in copying values across the FFI, limitations of integrating as a Go module. I am hoping to see a CGO GIL'less Python integration show up here at some point that has all the answers.
We’ll be lucky if people blame technology, instead of other groups of people that they are then motivated to take vengeance on. That is what I fear.

Arguably it also led to a complete lack of change, with the civil machinery simply being renamed and now serving a different master. The military and police now work for those in power, not the people. An autocracy pretending to be a democracy.
I don't think the US going 1st->4th is at all meaningful. According to the report the US went from 2nd to 18th in "adaptive attitudes" and 2nd->8th in general "future readiness." This seems more like a difference in how IMD is measuring things than a change in US economy/policy. But maybe the EU did something that moved their rankings upwards?

In general there is too
much complexity behind the ranking to tell a meaningful story about such a small decline in said rankings, especially when none of the variables are particularly quantitative in the first place! It's better to interpret this more as "the US is consistently in the top 5" than "the US is slipping," or "those wily Singaporeans finally beat the Americans."
It's not the high income countries choice.

If you reduce your consumption the cost of oil will fall towards the cost of production and middle/low income countries would consume it.

The only way someone in a high income country can prevent this is to buy oil and permanently bury it.

Surprisingly you haven't mentioned the "recent" Oslo Accords. Do you think that Israel (colonial or not) should exist?
>This is what emissions look like currently [2]

So, the world average is currently below the ration, and thus as long as we're actually headed for that net zero we're going to be in reasonably good shape?

>Guess what's going to happen and who is going to suffer, despite not doing anything.

Oh, this is actually about calling people bad because of what country they live in, never mind where the innovation is going to come from that would actually make net zero possible (assuming it actually is).

Carry on, then, I guess.

Russia is not far behind that top 5 list, at 12.5t/person/year, by the way.

Meanwhile China's boom in the mid 2010-s (China is 2nd to dead last on this chart, above Japan) still had westerners flock to them. In a few instances, disgustingly so. The language barrier at that level of economy is negligible. A few skilled translators are a rounding error for that gold mine.

I'm more than fine with data for data's sake. I have all sorts of useless trivia and statistics that simply put a smile on my face and have little practical use. But using "how good you are at English as a society" to predict economics seems a bit tonedeaf.
1) Doctors 150 years ago were against washing their hands and were reluctant to do so when presented with proof that it saves life.

2) RFK is a lawyer who actually sued large companies and unlike fake environmentalist like Greta Thunberg actually got them to clean up their act and eg removed pollution from a river in the USA thanks to RFK: that is REAL environmentalism.

In order to win those cases you have to know all the studies inside-out otherwise the opposing lawyer will destroy you. It's during this process that RFK realized that most vaccines don't have any real safety testing etc...

In other words, RFK knows more about these things that any doctor etc... since he had to go through as many as possible to build a water tight case.

So is it RFK who is a consipracy theorist for pointing out that no vaccine has any long term safety studies? Or is that just common sense and everyone else is indoctrinated?

Considering that since 1988 world population went from a little over 5bln to 8bln, our output per capita rose by around 10%, which is not great, but also not terrible.

Meanwhile the number of infants globally peaked around 2013-2017 and according to revised estimates overall population will peak late this century reaching 10.4bln - largely in countries with a small carbon footprint anyway.

We're going to blow past that 2°C target and millions will die due to extreme weather, but I firmly believe life on Earth and our species will survive, especially now that the "business as usual" scenario is considered highly unlikely due to how differently e.g. China's coal usage changed compared to projections.
The data you linked to shows per capita emissions in the US are 70% higher than in China.
This We are interrupting the advertisement to show you more advertisements cracks me up every time.
Yeah I have hope for the guys who can build. While America is complaining about Chinese energy sources, China will add sufficient nuclear and renewable to outpace us in decades. People never really look at the delta. They always look at the y.
Makes me wonder if there should be an open source test suite for numerical routines, i.e. just a big table (in JSON or something) of inputs, transformations and expected outputs, so new projects could get easily started with a fairly robust (if not a bit generic) test suite they could filter to suite their needs as they grow the feature set.

It represents a discrepancy between our models and observations of the universe, which imply there is a lot of unaccounted-for non-interactive mass out there.

Dark matter generally is less a theory and more a question: Where is all this mass? Does it really exist? What can explain it? What is missing from or wrong with our understanding of physics that explains our observations?

If you want to complain about a specific theory of dark matter like lambda-CDM or challenge our understanding of gravity or whatever, it'd be more correct to name the actual theory.
Yeah, but this megacorporation is not a resistance fighter. It's not even as human as the cardassians.
Manna has been a reality for more than a decade. Practically the entire warehousing industry uses a fully automated voice system that's almost exactly as Brain describes.

The general population in Thailand has very limited English skills. As a tourist, you’ll encounter Thais whose jobs involve interacting with foreigners, and they can speak some English (not much). As for the rest of the population, english is practically non-existent ("hello", "good bye", and that's it).
Indeed. Democracy is "least bad" because it at least allows people to choose, but don't be surprised if they make the wrong choice. Evidently one problem outweighs the other, and for advocates for democracy it's that the latter issue is outweighed (the former is that the people have no choice, this is people making the wrong choice). If men were angels, a nominally totalitarian government could be absolutely ideal.
An average American produces 14 tons of CO2 and an average Chinese person produces 9. Of those 9, he produces 3 at work, building TVs that are then bought by US consumers.

US/Canada/Australia have the worlds highest emissions per capita, except oil states like Kuwait. They have no moral high ground to lecture anyone about climate change.

If you disagree that we should consider population size when we compare emissions, I am open to that idea.

In that case we can make similarly absurd comparisons, between USA and Slovakia.

It is only thanks to China that we have affordable batteries and solar panels at all. And without China there would be no hope of green energy transition whatsoever

Electricity and heat is indeed the largest sector by emissions in Canada (about a quarter) [1]. Though depends on where you are. In BC all electricity is hydropower, and if you have electric heating, your emissions are close to zero.

Transport is also about a quarter. So Canada can indeed cut emissions in half with present day tech by fixing these two sectors. Still a long way to go.

Also note that Estonia is at 7.3t, Finland 5.6t, Sweden 3.5t (Sweden was 8.6t in 1980). So climate is not really an excuse. It is just politics.

If you "other than" two huge-for-many-use-cases good things, sure, it might look bad. ;)

But I would add good overall performance and in particular straightforward flexible concurrency support to the list of good things.

Pro tip: reducing a gas that occupies 0.04% (aka 400ppm) of our atmosphere isn’t going to fix this. The warming of our home has much more to do with astrophysics than puny humans. Do you think The Boring Company is about solving traffic problems?
I've had both lucid dreams (which was enjoyable) and sleep paralysis before. The paralysis was not a fun experience at all, and sounds a lot like what you describe.

It's apparently common enough that there's folklore around it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_hag

I've only had the sleep paralysis a couple times thankfully, and anecdotally the last time I had woken up in the middle of the night beforehand, remembered something I needed to do on my computer, took care of it in a dark room real quick, then went back to sleep. I suspect the sudden bright light and a bit of stress probably contributed to it happening.
The next target should not be 2.0C but rather 1.6. Understand that everything we’re adding is going to cost us going forward. 2.0 is when the cost become inconceivably high.
Except we actually did do the right thing.

US CO2 emissions in 2007 peaked at 6,016 million metric tons before consistently falling since down to 4,807 in 2023.

Per capita numbers are even better, but everyone assumes its from imports seemingly ignoring the massive reduction in coal use and vastly improved efficiency of just about everything. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1049662/fossil-us-carbon...
Presumably one would use autotune to find optimized parameters, and then roll those out via change control, either one parameter at a time, or a mix of parameters across the systems.

Alternatively: if you have a fleet of thousands of machines you can very easily do a binary search with them to a)establish the problem with the auto-tuner and then b)which of the changes it settled on are causing your problems.

I get the impression you've never actually managed a "fleet" of systems, because these techniques would have immediately occurred to you.

That's likely not a real solution either.

Encouraging a small minority of HN users to not have an additional child won't move the needle.

I think the point is that unless we can make a good case that some people have some sort of natural or divine right to a bigger share of the world's total CO2 emissions budget then other do, we have a lot of countries that are over budget.

It's hard to tell the poorer countries that they should stay poor so as to keep the world under budget, but using fossil fuels for many of them is the only to become not poor in a reasonable timeframe with their existing resources.

Just considering the welfare of their own citizens and their own resources their best path will often be a rapid increase in fossil fuels to get to a reasonable level of wealth and then start emphasizing renewables.

Since it is unlikely that the existing wealthy countries can reduce emissions enough to keep the world under budget as the developing countries follow the aforementioned path, we probably need the wealthy countries to help out the poorer countries to try to speed things up so they go through the fossil fuel phase faster.
