The problem with Penn Station's destruction isn't the destruction itself, it's that the building that replaced it is so hideous. Most historic buildings aren't valuable because they're historic, they're valuabl

We tried quadratic voting for our team choosing a new name, and we did not find it to work well. I think the analysis that the scheme even converges makes simplifying assumptions that aren't well justified, particularly that everyone k

I stopped buying physical books for most of what I read after my last move, but I missed having books around as decoration, conversation starters, and things to loan or for guests to read. And I didn't want to have a bookshelf that ref

If you have complaints about the article's accuracy, spell them out instead of knee-jerking from the headline.

It isn't the same reasoning at all. Our prior for what could possibly happen should be informed by what has happened before, and we know to the best of what geology can tell us, that many mass extinctions on earth were caused by CO2 me

You invest heavily in deploying technologies so that they become cheaper, and either win on cost alone or at least become an easy political choice to switch to. Ramez Naam talks about this in much more detail here: https://techcr

They compared both temperature over time and temperature vs forcing. The latter test factors out the "quantity of emissions" which as you say are much harder to predict (geopolitical), so just measures the quality of the climate m

Having the combining character version of that would be fantastic. Eventually, It would be amazing if all the details of math rendering could make it into unicode.

This was exactly my experience. The story they were telling in HL2 was extremely poorly suited to the technology they were trying to use to tell it. You can't tell a story about being an insurgency in a huge city or running from your

No audio-logs either. No text. Just experiencing the whole thing first-hand, with set pieces that felt like plausible places and not just "cool geometry."

Exactly. I always felt like the world of magic was bigger than my imagination of it, that the cards were a tiny window into an unfathomably strange world. "Eldritch" is maybe the best word I can think of to describe it.

The notation in the code will be very familiar to anyone comfortable with the underlying research and math. The "conceptual" documentation is in the literature. What you're asking for is the rough equivalent of asking a C pro

If you look at the IRV plots boundary by boundary instead of as a whole, you see that most of the boundaries are in the same places as they are for other methods, but the boundary for whichever candidate is in the center can become chaotic.
