even Cliff himself (somewhat right leaning in today's American political environment) did not go so far in his blog. Cliff often speaks very highly of the European weather forecasts, and in his blog post it seems pretty clear that he i

I agree, but I would assert that it is no more arguable than your own interpretations Edit: Ah I see that it is 1985, that certainly is a significantly shorter cycle of data.

Explosive growth does not happen in a vacuum. Sometimes it's due to a pre-existing boom and bust cycle (eg lynx and hares, rabbits and wolves, etc). Sometimes it's due to the elimination of key species or ecological instability (e

Explosive growth is generally speaking not stable. I will defer to the dictionary definition of stable. I'm just using words how they are defined. From an ecosystem perspective, simple "coral coverage" is not a good enough me

In addition to looking simply at the explosive growth limited to the past 4-5 years, it seems reasonable to look at the entire plot as well. All 3 graphs in [1] date back to 1965, and look at that data it seems that the growth/populati

I guess I'm not sure what you mean by game logic then. Unless you're playing multiplayer civ (which I think is pretty niche even for civ standards), the AI logic is kinda central to the game.

this definitely isn't the case in my experience. I run Civ VI on a relatively high end desktop (5950x + 3080 Ti) and there is a very noticeable slowdown between turns with lots of Civs/city states on large maps

sounds like the game will be perfectly playable on mid-tier hardware, and you only need better hardware for "ultra" 4K. Bit of a poor clickbait headline by Tom's which has unfortunately become the norm :( I'm happy that

brain fart on my end, you're definitely correct that SQUIDS are not something demonstrated quite yet, I should have said Josephson junction, but even that seems more niche than I had thought when I wrote the comment.

I didn't realize that! That seems like the most practical application from a defense perspective.

I think this view is a bit narrow in terms of what "AI" advancements may depend on. I think it's very easy to argue that large scale AI adoption will require orders of magnitude higher bandwidth than what we currently have. I

Took a quick look at your blog. Some of those examples are quite bad, similar to the fake gels in the Science article. Do you know if any of them gained particular attention?

The originator explicitly said that 'any engineering book' would contain these references, thus it would seem that this was at least a widespread belief among physicists and engineers at the time. Do you have any example? Again, y

I don't think Derek Lowe is frustrated that "science is full of fraud", this is likely editorialization on your part. It seems that it stems specifically from Masliah, who is common across all papers in the dossier. Granted,

Agree. The fact that we are seeing this kind of discourse within the scientific community is in my opinion a great argument for the scientific method.
