enviclash··on A study of lights at night suggests dictators lie about economic growth
Lights are overrated as proxy. I would like to see the ecosystem of contracts and transactions, but this is not possible.

Phone calls could be a better proxy? I saw a paper using them in Scientific Reports.

I think people do go to prison for destroying heritage like this.
enviclash··on Can we make flying “Green”?
Make it 5 times more expensive, to start with something that works.
enviclash··on Can we make flying “Green”?
Do you mean a supersonic glider is possible?
enviclash··on A system dynamics-based framework for examining Circular Economy transitions
In my humble opinion system Dynamics is not a good methodology to analyse transitions, the reason being that the modeller sets the structure of the change in stocks and flows, and doesn't allow for change to emerge as led by the interactions creating it.
enviclash··on LSD-like molecules counter depession without the trip
What food types contain something like that? Anything healthy?
enviclash··on How writing has spread across the world
Interesting theme for a novel.
enviclash··on Why read Dostoevsky? A programmer's perspective
I meant that seeing the difference of risk perception between acting in real life and acting in theatre could be crucial on the point discussed.
enviclash··on Palantir Had Secret Plan to Crack UK’s NHS: ‘Buying Our Way In’
Indeed the tasks described in the article were not tough nuts, which is surprising.
enviclash··on Why read Dostoevsky? A programmer's perspective
"life became the novel"... Sounds beautiful but idealistic. Surely risk perception plays a role in the difference.
enviclash··on ‘Liz Truss hasn’t understood a word I wrote’, says PM’s favourite author
I have no word for how both terrifying and hilarious that could be.
enviclash··on ‘Liz Truss hasn’t understood a word I wrote’, says PM’s favourite author
Also repeated from another angle: since the 1970s it is a known story that such tax cuts do not deliver the promise.
enviclash··on ‘Liz Truss hasn’t understood a word I wrote’, says PM’s favourite author
"And so it has proved again and again. Reagan’s tax cuts, George W. Bush’s tax cuts, Donald Trump’s tax cuts all failed to deliver." Polls also show drops in popularity. What exactly do you think she got right?
enviclash··on ‘Liz Truss hasn’t understood a word I wrote’, says PM’s favourite author
It does not sound unrealistic at all.
enviclash··on Ask HN: Does anyone here have a “co-mentor?”
What exactly is a co-mentor setup and why is it different than a friend or a mutually beneficial professional relationship?
enviclash··on US Government plans to develop AI that can unmask anonymous writers
Zipf-based maths could already say lots.
enviclash··on ButtFish – Transmit Morse Code of chess moves to your butt
For a second I thought you might be talking about Dune, the book.
enviclash··on STDs, drunk driving and quiet quitting: The end of the pandemic reveals America
"The prioritizing of purpose over profession" nicely said. Less PR and bragging and more meaning to your self.
enviclash··on Ask HN: How to be less opinionated?
Perhaps is more about how to express opinions, than just having them. Different people have different maps of the world. To me it is about expressing opinions while acknowledging the valuable ideas in (and connections with) their maps.
enviclash··on Taken under fascism, Spain’s ‘stolen babies’ are learning the truth
This is flamebait.
enviclash··on What has kept you going during a personal crisis?
Go swim every morning 20 mins at least.
enviclash··on Ask HN: Have you experienced “hiring fraud?”
Universities in the USA make proper use of third party checks, while me in poor EU had a postdoc that I suspected was faking something. The thing became big once he could not board a plane due to differences in company Identity (as in company-bought ticket) vs name in passport. I prefer to leave it here.
enviclash··on Someone is pretending to be me
This exposes the truth about showcasing who we are all the time all around the internet, why too many details are needed out there anyway? I will keep posting my CV online, but really, it makes me feel like I should not.
enviclash··on An early disruption event is starting for the Polar Vortex
This site is very unusual for climate or weather communication, and albeit interesting, it does not manage to bring a clear message to their audience.
enviclash··on New Webb image captures clearest view of Neptune’s rings in decades
This is certainly impressive, thanks!
enviclash··on Ask HN: How to master verbal communication?
Practice elevator pitches till you make your points in 60 secons naturally, structuring them as 3 bullet points.
enviclash··on ‘I’d rather eat an actual burger’: plant-based meat’s sizzle fizzled in the US
Every Cuisine ha straditional beans that everyone has forgotten because they cannot be made immediately ready they just require a bit of mindfulness about the kitchen and the food; they are super healthy if you know how to do it, with a bit of preparation beans (including chickpea) are much better than any meat substitute
enviclash··on New Webb image captures clearest view of Neptune’s rings in decades
You mean perhaps 1.5^2?
enviclash··on Vietnam’s ancient whale temples
I kind of agree with both angles. My take is that AI generated images need to be more in the average of available information to match expectations of people, who normally have limited knowledge. AI generated images come from a sample of the real, too. (Sorry this feels off topic).
enviclash··on Vietnam’s ancient whale temples
I wonder what an algorithm like DALL.E would come up with if given a caption about a whale temple. I doubt it would be more beautiful than some of the pictures in this article. The reason is the lack of general reference to other cases, because there is none or they are very infrequent.
