I am sure you know this and are just trying to shit on the editors, as one does on /.; but here, use this in case you didn't know: https://xcancel.com/_lyraaaa_/...

Ok. I have to step in here.

1) remote sensing is how most temperature data is measured now, point sensors are used to calibrate the dataset and not really used as a general area reading.

2) CO2 is a very specific Infrared absorber in wavelengths that are transparent in our atmosphere to outgoing long wave radiation. So we have a net energy increase at the surface. More energy, higher temperatures.

3) as far as fewer extremes go, particularly with the assertion that we will see fewer high temperature events doesn't really hold water.

Arctic warming because of reduce albedo is going to weaken the temperature gradient between the polar and mid latitudes during the winter, this actually creates more variance in temperatures over the mid attitudes as the polar circulation weakens, letting both cold air escape south and warm air infiltrate north.

During the equinoxes the increase in energy will generate more energy in the equatorial regions, which has to be transported poleward, more energy transfer will yield more storms.

As far as NH summer, the energy has to go somewhere.So again, you'll see extremely warm air masses pushed poleward. Which will result in more extreme weather events.

And with the temperature differentials decreasing, there will be less overall lateral movement of systems, making it easier for high pressure blocking and high pressure domes to set up and park over regions (creating large area of subsidence and extreme conditions that stick around for weeks at a time)

Agreed, I use scala almost exclusively, the same things that make a language great for humans also make it great for AI, a compiled, type safe secure language gives you guarantees that python/javascript crap cannot.

At this time, Transcranial Magnetic Stimularion (TMS) has shown similar positive benefits as ECT without the brutal side effects of ECT. I believe that TMS is now favored over ECT for initial use despite slightly lower remission rates, mostly because TMS has much milder side effects and people are less likely to quit mistreatment. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/a...

Humidity is currently 91% in Yangsan.

City Council member of a non-listed Twin Cities suburb I know:

FBI is involved. Most water systems use one of two control/alert systems that are old and make them easy targets.

All they did was shut down components of the systems e.g., wells/sewer lift stations. Most cities were able to cycle manually to get back up and running. There was not messages warning or ransom of which I am aware.

They could have done a lot more damage if they wanted to, rather than just shutting things down.

I live in Plymouth; there was no city communications about this nor did I see any issues. So, I assume there were no physical disruptions to service.

Sigh, it's been so long since I bothered to post here, I forgot the formatting is non-existent. Sorry about the wall of text. :/

Geothermal is fantastic in certain locations. Iceland is approaching 1GW of power generation from geothermal and uses geothermal to heat over 70% of their homes with it. Maybe it's not as helpful in the US, but it does have certain use-cases. Tidal power has a few spots where it would be fantastic. Can you imagine how much power you could generate from the tides at Bay of Fundy? (Looks like it's around 7GW, and 2.5GW if you wanted to limit the change in tides in the region to ~6%) I'm a big proponent of nuclear power, because I also know realistically we need to have enough power sources to pick up the slack from other sources. Can we reduce fossil fuel usage to 0% for power? Not yet. Even if we could build out the renewables, we still need some sort of storage technology cheap enough to straddle any shortages. But as battery technology improves and prices decrease, that storage becomes more and more viable. Hydropower has been an integral part of US base power generation, but wind power now doubles hydro, and solar/photovoltaics are also greater than hydro (which surprised me considering the importance of hydro in the past, US power usage has increased dramatically over the last century while hydro has only marginally increased). You can claim all sorts of reasons to dismiss renewables. But renewables are a critical part of our energy infrastructure. And I'm happy to have more nuclear power being built. Because I want to see a decrease in fossil fuel usage and both Nuclear and renewables both accomplish that. And yes there will be a use-cases for Fossil Fuel types (barring some way to create hydrocarbons from CO2 and H2O through renewable sources) but there is a difference in using it because the advantages of it outweigh the drawbacks, and using it because when there are other options that are the same order of magnitude viable to replace it.

I had one breakthrough DMT experience where I saw 'the machine elves' (I just saw what I describe as fast-moving fractals that I 'felt' were beckoning to me); but, we have matching experiences w/the other primary psychedelics: I only had relatively minor on-top visual distortions with even the largest doses of LSD (1500+ mcg) or mushrooms.

That said, everyone is different. I know that some of my friends absolutely lost their fucking minds on a few tabs of LSD and, purportedly, experienced wild hallucinations that I have to trust were real to them but haven't ever experienced myself.

Boom meet bust.

Which is a bit crazy since the llm probably trained on the open source code to begin with

I had VERY SPECIFIC requirements and I wanted the extended warranty. I would have paid 2x at a dealer. I know what I was doing.

I bought a used 2020 XC90 from CarMax last week. I did everything online from shipping it from Texas to Minnesota to financing the extended warranty. I walked in the door, gave them a cashier's check, and drove away within 10 minutes.

That's how it should be.

Tariffs always apply to the import. Yes, I agree if there are cases where digital content is bounced back and forth across borders while incurring some value add step then that becomes hard to track both internally and externally. But no more difficult than likewise having manufacturing that has a supply chain across borders. Real businesses have accounting for such things.
