> And that's far from being enough. Based on what? We already have optimistic signs in developed countries where emissions per capita have declined. As others have said, no idea how you impose degrowth short of dictatorship

There’s a ton we can do before we talk about degrowth. Living in dense urban areas vs the suburbs will greatly reduce resource usage.Eating a lot less meat is another thing that’s even easier and will greatly reduce our carbon footprint. Wh

You can't cherry pick that out of context, criminal indictments often cite things that can be ordinary. Buying duct tape isn't a crime, but it can be evidence of a kidnapping. As far as I can tell these people created a business t

It's too soon the say that. You know, the test of time takes time, not a few months.

You can’t talk about the test of time and then use an analogy that hasn’t stood the test of time ;)

Ah yes, just start with SQL is really the right choice for a lot if not most things. I work on things that are both too high scale and too organizationally complex for the simple solutions.

What do you use instead? Polling APIs? A queue instead of an event stream? Event based architectures definitely add infrastructural overhead, but are positive at a certain scale and/or architectural complexity (multiple decoupled subsc

Gotcha, wasn't clear what you were referring to.

yea, it's could be a blip in the overall trend. Let's hope.

Can you link to these models from 20 years ago?

Most breakthroughs come from serendipitous discoveries. It’s counter productive to be critical in this way.

This is a direct quote from you, “I mean you can see it plateauing in that data. Feels good to me!” Reality, 2023 is now on track to see the highest levels of carbon dioxide output in human history

The facts speak for themselves. I’m happy to leave it at that.

I'll just leave some facts here since you won't say if you think we are on the right track or not. 2023 is now on track to see the highest levels of carbon dioxide output in human history - https://www.theguardian.com&#

The core of the issue is whether you think we are on the right track. Yes or no.

by jshen 3y ago
I asked first, and would still like to know if you think we are on the right track as you said in the previous thread. I see reasons to be hopeful, but we are not on the right track right now. What do you believe, are we on the right track?

by jshen 3y ago
It's clear you won't state your position clearly. It's really simple, do you believe as you said that things are good and that we are on the right track? You said that, then you muddy the water when pressed on it. What do you

by jshen 3y ago
You said that we are on the right track and that you felt good about it. Don’t try to muddy the waters. Do you still believe we are on the right track?

by jshen 3y ago
You said, “I mean you can see it plateauing in that data. Feels good to me!” Are you feeling good about it today?

by jshen 3y ago
You said temperatures had plateaued and would not increase. I said they would and only seemed to plateau due to El Niño/la Nina cycles. I was right.

Hey, don’t know if you remember our debate. You said climate change was going away, I said it would get worse. I think I was right. xoxo

I've read a lot of scientific papers in the comp sci / machine learning space and they are rarely precise. It's been over a decade since I've ready many papers so maybe this has changed, but I remember reading a paper ou

This hasn't been my experience. I spent over a decade at startups, a handful of years at a big research lab, and over a decade at a big company. I've made far far more money from working at the big company than I did at the startu

Does anyone else see this and think, "async programming is much worse than non-async programming"? Compare this to Go code, and I'll take the equivalent Go code any day of the week.

Those docs say to use Pipenv, or am I looking at the wrong docs? Really not sure why python people can’t articulate a clear flow to follow. It’s all riddles.

It's really interesting. A bunch of news came out today about Reddit doubling down on their position which is what I expected. I was thinking about the MAU problem, and I think the problem is not so much the ability to handle that scal
