5km is just the start. Once established it's just a matter of time before shallower mining takes place. This is the thin end of the wedge.

by nprateem 3y ago
But as there's no way to prevent sediment from polluting large areas of the sea, the depth at which mining occurs is irrelevant. And companies will mine at whatever depths make money. Still, it's nice to just dismiss it as hyperbo

Particulate matter absorbs more heat. The fact sediment would blind animals leading to the collapse of ecosystems is an added kicker

by nprateem 3y ago
Yes and in the meantime sea creatures that rely on sight will starve, and the ocean will absorb more heat from the sun. This will further speed up its destruction while causing more catastrophic weather events on the surface. Absolutely not

Well it looks like they've drawn a line too and found themselves not responsible, so they're already doing what you're advocating it seems. Nothing to learn here.

And the line for your responsibility is where exactly? You want to be personally responsible for every single dependency you pull in, every piece of hardware between you and the end user? This is a farcial suggestion. > They were creatin

We basically need to analyse dependencies used in critical code paths (e.g. network attached services like sshd) and then start a process to add more rigorous controls around them. Some kind of enhanced scrutiny, certification and governanc

I'm pretty open minded about this stuff, but I recall reading Robert Monroe (author of several books) tried to prove to himself his OBEs were real by having his wife place an object in a box downstairs without his knowledge and trying

You can extend that reasoning to anything, but time and energy are limited

It's not immediately clear. How does this work over the network for multiple app servers (or does it)? Is the DB hosted on something like nfs, or are writes synced to all app servers or something else?

Words. Just estimate how many tokens that'd be and talk in words, paragraphs, etc instead.

You need to know why people buy from you and build your sales and marketing pipeline from there. Sales isn't something you just bolt on afterwards, it fundamentally relies on your value proposition. So from that perspective, 4 steps to

If I listen to any spotify-generated playlists, it's literally the same couple of hundred songs over and over and over again. It drives me up the wall.

A foldable riser and external keyboard & mouse are essential for good ergonomics. I like a ferris since it's a split keyboard so folds up nice and small but can still be quite wide on the table.

Yeah I'm sure that's true. It'd be nice to be able to opt out though while you're in the first pass research phase.

Ha ha lol. Is that really the best they can think of in an age of AI? Instead of turning PDFs into web pages how about some actually useful tools: * Summarisation * Succinctly placing the research in context of the broader field * Highlight

Isn't the issue they embed content specifically so people don't leave the search page?

Maybe you need to reframe or challenge your beliefs. Research emotional biases. A combination of believing in your own specialness, loss aversion and retrospectiveness can be a toxic combination.

It's not possible at our current levels of understanding. Forget about AI, and step it back to things we've been collectively trying to understand for hundreds of years: Dominant models of economics don't work, we don't

I read something saying blending in industrial food production affects absorption into the body which is thought to cause some of tut negative effects. So yes, the industrial production methods are also implicated.

A crisis is always coming if you wait long enough, but how far off is it, and how severe will it be? Where's the bottom of the crisis and when does the recovery start, etc? Economists only ever justify history. They have no predictive

The purpose of knowledge is to give you enough confidence to invest/participate in a market. The trouble with tools is so few offer any predictive power at all. You just get drowned in data and options. They're all so heavily depe

Oh stuff like that. Yeah it's surprising just how gullible people are. Unfortunately you've only got to look at politics today to see not much has changed.
