Quite difficult to debug as system is unresponsive when it happens, so would have to delve into logs. Maybe a Chrome memory management or graphics acceleration issue, I don't use many extensions but it's possible I guess. 12GB of

My Ubuntu laptop is just fine apart from every now and then randomly pausing and not accepting user input for a minute or so at max CPU. Seems to be maybe Chrome related, so that's maybe the next thing for me to try to migrate off afte

If you shut your eyes, you do not see anything in the room. This does not mean there is nothing in the room. If you randomize your seeds, you do not deliberately bias your model. This does not mean your model is unbiased.

To know it was "intentionally misleading" you'd need to know their intentions, I don't see how you could do that. I don't see this as intentionally misleading, as you can probably guess, so I don't know why you

You're not reading what I said. I just responded on "mini ice ages" and you ignored it. It's clear why they are using that period, and is scientifically justified. Propaganda is a pejorative term that you're not jus

I don't really think anyone is misunderstanding the word "anomaly". I get what you're saying I just don't think it's an issue. By saying it is not chance I mean that the word "anomaly" is used because

Again - it's not arbitrary! It's chosen because industrial emissions have affected the climate. There is a very clear reason why it was chosen. That's why we use the word anomaly too - it isn't chance! Are you trying to

You're really straining for this point - nobody is going to be confused by the use of the word anomaly. It is not "chance" that there is an actual anomaly, that's the reason the terminology is being used. If they'd

Pre-1920 is roughly in-line with average, 1920-1970 looks to be above average but could be argued to be within normal range of variation, post-1970 is clearly above normal range of variation. Your concern seems to be (1) that there is some
