What are you talking about? Do you really think all you need to accurately predict global climate trends hundreds of years into the future is the chemical properties of a single gas? If you do actually believe that then your knowledge of cl

Maybe none? These are news sites. ChatGPT still doesn't know about anything that happened after 2021, apparently hundreds of millions of users don't care. The dataset is already very stale but it's still very useful. Also, th

You're strawmanning, please don't do that. The original claim was about long term ice trends/projections and what they do or don't mean, but now you're trying to claim there's a dispute over satellite measureme

So what? It's been a cold wet summer where I live. Guess that disproves everything. This sub-thread is about UHI anyway. Look, climate fanatics are constantly latching onto random natural events and claiming it proves the world is doom

Your product SarathyWeb appears to be a frontend to other cloud services. Are you using your own accounts to run stuff for other people? If so, what's your anti-abuse story? If someone used you to run abusive jobs on a cloud (e.g. spam

There's a supply of Sowell quotes here: https://twitter.com/thomassowell "People say 'you’re a very tough person'. I’m not tough. Life is tough. I’m merely trying to acquaint you with those facts."

Sowell isn't an engineer so the sort of thing he's talking about are mostly long standing social problems, not engineering problems. For example, his criticism here is levelled at the sort of people who claim they know a solution

This has already been studied. Negative citations are vanishingly rare. So virtually all of them will be either neutral or positive.

Neither of those tasks require AI. IntelliJ IDEA will happily suggest both for you today, locally. It can find large chunks of duplicated code and automatically refactor them out to functions for you. And it has many inspections that sugges

It's the other way around. Huge quantities of climate related claims and journalism are bought and paid for. Supposedly "non profit" organizations are the most corrupt of all. https://www.ap.org/ap-in-the-news

Claiming a consensus when there isn't one is a classic bluff.

It doesn't follow that it's reasonable to express alarm. Decades of stability followed by sudden change is strong evidence against CO2 being the cause, because growth of that in the atmosphere is a very stable process. It suggests

Don't you have this the wrong way around? UHI definitely exists and has a significant effect. This is observable by anyone. Climatologists claim it hardly affects anything and doesn't matter. This is an extraordinary claim, requir

It was never debunked. Like a lot of stuff in climate climatologists simply referred back to their own totally corrupted data and then asserted there was no problem. You link to BEST, but BEST is a good example of their strategy. BEST'

No, because a competing theory is that heat this year is due to the eruption of a large underwater volcano at the start of last year, which expelled a truly astounding amount of water vapor into the atmosphere. Water being of course, a gree

I suspect Thiel has got bored with such debates at least ten years ago tbh and given his history with PayPal quite possibly 30.

Like in your other story, the response you got is actually pretty reasonable and you seem to be slightly out of step with what other people are thinking here. The fashion for high functioning, highly articulate individuals calling themselve

Yes, they're symmetric. Shorting is logistically a bit more complex than going long, but that's not an argument against it. After all, buying stocks is itself more complicated than buying land, and buying land is more complicated

Not quite. ActiveX would download and run unsandboxed native code direct from the web, even if it wasn't installed. The security mechanism was a popup dialog that contained the publisher name as verified by a code signing certificate.
