It would be quite odd if the CO2 fertilization effect has already peaked, given that geological history shows periods with much higher CO2 concentrations, during which plant growth was significantly greater.

In the long run, humans cannot indefinitely alter atmospheric composition without risking conditions that could undermine life’s prosperity. At sufficiently high concentrations, CO2 also impairs human cognition, as our physiology is not adapted to the extreme levels that were once common in Earth’s distant past.

That said, we should remain open to the possibility that CO2 emissions have net positive effects in the short to medium term. If that is the case, CO2 mitigation strategies could be adjusted accordingly—focusing on economically efficient transitions rather than rushing to eliminate CO2 emissions at all costs. This would mean prioritizing the replacement of CO2-emitting energy sources where it is already cost-effective, while investing in R&D to lower transition costs in areas where immediate replacement would be prohibitively expensive.
It's the stable theoretical minimum in aggregate. Negative profit operations are eliminated.

In the article she keeps bringing up her separation, and how it negatively effected her ability to produce the channel. Given the full-disclosure-of-the-true-costs spirit of the article I would have been interested to know if there were any negative effects or costs in the other direction as well. this channel sounds like an expensive hobby with a small chance of financial success, that requires a very patient and supportive partner...
Before the election, Vivek or Elon or one of the galaxy-brains floated the idea of firing every other employee in the federal government based on the last digit of their social security number.

The cruelty is the point.
You seem to be implicitly assuming a closed system in which both economies have the same tax burden, economic productivity and efficiency. So, when EU exporters don't pay VAT on exports there must be a cost for the US producer somewhere that he cant write off.

Which you haven't shown.

You started with corporate tax rate but from my understanding those are pretty similar if being paid at all:

"• Over the past three years, Tesla has reported $10.8 billion in U.S. income but paid only $48 million in federal taxes, bringing its effective tax rate to 0.4 percent—far below the 21 percent corporate tax rate."

No, but then burning everything around the billboard doesn't necessarily make you a shitty person, and also opinions of people siding with advertisers aren't somehow the definitive ones.

I mean, why do people who hate what Twitter is now care about it's lost revenue? Especially given what it was, and where the revenue came from, this isn't exactly an argument that generalizes well.
> Real world has a different political distribution than the Internet.

5% different, almost everyone is online.

But, thinking about your oft-quoted blog post about advertising bring a cancer, I guess if the top ad spenders cut themselves out entirely, then the bidding system could result in the runner-up bidder finding their ads are now almost arbitrarily cheaper.
They could start with a name change.
> It crashed multiple times after his cuts and that was while dealing with a largely reduced flow of traffic.

It crashed multiple times before he bought it too though.

> Twitter has survived death, but it’s only a fraction of what it used to be in terms of traffic, revenue, and profit compared to before Musk

That fraction of traffic being somewhere around 3/4 to 4/5 the hits, according to a quick search, does that sound about right?

That the dire predictions on HN, reddit, etc., about twitter's destruction after those aggressive layoffs turned out to be wrong. We were assured that it would imminently implode and/or explode. Not that revenue or traffic would be reduced due to content/policy/marketing/etc, but specifically that the site would essentially cease to operate due to lack of technical expertise. I think it's fair to say those predictions were wrong, and not wrong because traffic was so significantly reduced that the problem went from imminent implosion to more-or-less operating as usual, but because they were really just baseless speculation driven by wishful thinking.

The need for a configuration file analyzer is a good sign your software is overly complex and poorly architected.

From what I’ve seen, AI can do a solid job of bridging language gaps—though it depends on how it’s set up. The data exists, but it’s often buried in native-language sources. By focusing on local content, like newspapers and forum discussions you can shape a dataset that pulls in more authentic, region-specific data.
It wasn't because of the tax levels. It was because there was tight immigration rules that were enforced and plenty of job opportunities.

When you have a system that deliberately uses unemployment as its escape valve, then the costs just get passed on until somebody loses their job and can't do anything about it because there are not enough jobs to go around.
It's interesting. Recently I came up with a question that I posted to different LLMs with different results. It's about the ratio between GDP (PPP adjusted) to general GDP. ChatGPT was good, but because it found a dedicated web page exactly with this data and comparison so just rephrased the answer. General perplexity.ai when asked hallucinated significantly showing Luxemburg as the leader and pointing to some random gdp-related resources. But this kind of perplexity gave a very good "research" on a prompt "I would like to research countries about the ratio between GDP adjusted to purchasing power and the universal GDP. Please, show the top ones and look for other regularities". Took about 3 minutes
That's up to the engineers of said AI, if you goal is to have an AI that doesn't do that then you have multiple ways to achieve that goal.
You have misunderstood a number of things.

Overheads are expressed as a fraction of direct costs, not of the total grant. If the total grant was $650k, 55% overhead would be $230k. If the direct costs were $650k, the total grant was $1M.

Universities rarely have significant amounts of money they can use freely. Most of the time, if they want to do something (such as training a PhD), someone must pay specifically for that. And if the PhD student needs a supervisor, someone must pay for the time the supervisor uses supervising the student.

Your grant was not supposed to give you a huge pile of loose money to use as you see fit. It was supposed to pay your stipend and tuition (and benefits, if there were any). And give you a small amount for research expenses on top of that. You gained independence (by not being dependent on your supervisor's funding) and credibility (by winning a competitive grant). You may have also gained the ability to continue your PhD (if your supervisor was about to run out of money). But often the biggest winner with grants like that is the supervisor, who can now use their grant money to hire another PhD student.

> Then we can exempt domestic goods because why not

That's clearly not how VAT works.

The VAT rate is the same for locally produced goods as for imported goods of the same category.
Starship will reduce the cost to send a kilogram of mass into orbit by ten to a hundredfold, meaning the cost will come down to something in the order of $100 or even down to $20 per kilogram, from its current cost of $1,500. This is not science fiction, this is totally feasible in the foreseeable future.
It's the same genre, but not a copy at all.
SpaceX has 13000 employees and has launched more than 100 orbital rockets into space last year (and they're also manufacturing thousands of satellites and doing other things). They were able to launch 20 rockets in a year having 5000 employees. ULA is launching couple of rockets a year with 2700 employees. Blue Origin was developing their rocket for the last 10 years and has just launched it for the first time. The whole company doesn't seem to be very efficient.
They are going to tax the EU for it, because unfair competition.

Fair, but OpenAI was doing that half year ago (though limited access; I myself got it maybe a month ago), and I haven't seen it yet translate into anything in practice, so I feel like it (and multimodality in general) must be a GPT-3 level ability at this point.

But I do expect the next qualitative change to come from this area. It feels exactly like what is needed, but it somehow isn't there just yet.
I already learned one thing regarding add_header

Worth the read already. Initially I even thought the analyzer was 'wrong' but curl tests indeed shows that add_header replaces all, surprisingly to me.

In fourteen years I've never seen a scrum project that includes user feedback.

At best it led to a stakeholder demo where some business people would look at a form or something, ask some minor questions, then a new cycle would begin (with its context switching, planning stress and perverse JIRA games - all the negatives of Scrum).

I don't think many companies use such regular user feedback in their development process.

Perhaps it's that they don't need to? I actually think a lot of company dysfunction happens when the "official" system purports one set of goals (user feedback, regular pivots) but the "real" system purports others (executive driven initiatives, long sales cycles)
> If everyone had to ride instead of drive (including drunks, soccer moms, burnt out graveyard shift workers, medical workers on their second 24 hour shift, retirees, etc), you’d see a lot more dead folks overall.

That's rubbish as cyclists/bikers are not the cause of most collisions. Once you remove the majority of car drivers, the number of collisions will plummet along with the severity of those collisions.

(Sedentary disease such as heart disease and type II diabetes will also reduce if more people are using active travel - not so much if they're motorbiking).

Tangentially, "fighting for states' rights" is a common falsehood told by apologists for the Confederacy in the US civil war.

Not only did the slave states try to force other states to tolerate slavery within their own borders, but the biggest changes in the Confederacy's constitution was how it permanently removed rights from its member-states.

Agreed, the only thing I would say here is that electrics kind of give you this torque/weight combo for an every day car so I would guess in the real world electric cars end up being worse on dust production. Hopefully tires can get optimized for this as well.

They don't have much revenue. They're selling some engines to ULA, they have some government contracts and quite big commercial contracts for launches that haven't happened yet, so Bezos is surely still pumping money to pay for these 14000 employees and other expenses.

I don't have a strong opinion here, but I am curious. What don't you like about the term progressive right?
In my country I think the vocational/trade degree -which might lie between HS and uni level- on car mechanics has basic physics, mechanics and maybe some chemistry.

Ditto for the rest of technical voc degrees.

If you think you can do IT without at least a trade degree on understanding the low level components interact, (and I'm not talking about CS level, concurrency with CSP, O-notation, linear+discrete algebra... but basic stuff such as networking protocols, basic SQL database normalizations, system administration, configuration, how the OS boots, how processes work -idle, active, waiting..., if you don't get that, you will be fired faster than anyone around.
I have to vehemently disagree. There is a massive amount of bureaucracy, but good, meaningful changes are implemented.
Thankfully, yes. Spacecraft use outdated hardware with heavy limitations where a stack overflow is a genuine possibility. You're not even supposed to use a heap in general, static vars all the way. It's like writing stuff for a shitty microcontroller where you run out of RAM if you take one wrong turn.

Not always. Modern computers are like several computers networked into one, if you think about it. Since the DMA, that approach is not valid. Today we have IOMMU's.
The 9front/plan9 guys are trying to write a kernel (Nix) which wants to exploit every concurrent core of your CPU at crazy scaling levels.
A tall player who can't make threes, is more limited in the modern NBA and more limiting for roster construction. As a result, a lot more practice would be allocated to shooting from range. Look at someone like Brook Lopez (7-foot centre) who attempted 31 threes total in his first 8 seasons. Then started attempting 250-500 threes/season after that (peaked at 512 attempts).

Developing players who are elite prospects are also now less likely to be pigeon-holed during development into: you're tall as a 12 year old, so just focus on drills for centres. So yes, there would absolutely be growth in the number of capable shooters.

On your point about realisation, teams already optimise to favour threes and high-percentage twos. They try to stretch defence to each extreme, but you need to excel and threaten at both things at any given point because teams will adjust constantly during the game.
> corporations need to say every single thing in a positive light or else media would savagely quote them

I call BS - don’t humanize corporations, they do what they can to maximize profit.

Media is being helpful; without media’s work corporations would still present things in good light for them, only now without third parties involved. Consumers would not benefit from that.

And they are oh-so-contentious. If anyone wants to go down a fascinating rabbit hole, the recent conversation/debate around whether Bomb Torizo skip (a very difficult, borderline-human-impossible trick) should be allowed in Super Metroid runs was actually fascinating and ended up getting into deep research about inconsistencies between hardware polling rates vis-a-vis what runners could reasonable/humanely expect from one another... that's a thin gloss from a non-expert, but it's a great concrete example to work from.

(The debate was sparked by a runner proving that the trick was humanly possible, raising the spectre of someone actually pulling it off in a world record run, which would force all subsequent world record would-bes to replicate a trick that would kill 99.99% of runs, execution of which depending on the vagaries of how different controllers poll inputs in addition to nearly inhuman levels of sustained, frame-perfect inputs).

For live tv listings, there are companion apps like Ersatztv and Tunarr (easier to use than Ersatztv but less features) which feed into the live tv section in Jellyfin. You create 24/7 “tv stations” running whichever collection of local media files you wish to have in a “channel”. It’s great if you plop down and can’t decide what to watch, or want to replicate the look and feel of childhood cartsoon, right down to inserting 90s ads in between episodes.

You can use Ersatztv to create an automatically updated playlist, based on a Trakt or IMDB list. Back in the day, there was/is a a cool addon for Kodi called “PseudoLiveTV” and these apps replicate this functionality.

So you can have an always updated Christopher Nolan collection, Halloween movies, westerns, 24/7 90s cartoons, BBC nature documentaries or whatever.

You can pull any imaginable tv or movie list from Kometa using Ersatztv:

So, that's all very interesting. Do we also have some studies on how to avoid gathering people in such z dense level that all possibilities of that kind of dramatic outcome can occurs.

Also note that not all crowds are the same. I went to some metal concerts where the moves would exhibits very different moves, including less packed and steal, split in in very highly packed borders before an abrupt run and merge, as well as creating protection circle around someone who falls on the ground. I actually didn't witnessed any major crowd incident in such a concert, so I would be interested to have statistics about outcomes of a crowd panic in a metal concert vs in a cinema for example.
