shdh··on Humans have caused 1.5 °C of long-term global warming according to new estimates
You're asking for global human behavior changes. Does that seem realistic?
shdh··on Humans have caused 1.5 °C of long-term global warming according to new estimates
Korean and Japanese birth rates are very low.

The West is following suit.

We'll likely see a global population decline.

shdh··on Humans have caused 1.5 °C of long-term global warming according to new estimates
The Earth is a complex system.

Warming is one aspect of climate change, but we'll likely see cascading effects in the system.

For example, as global temperatures rise we are seeing that AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation), and as a result the Gulf Stream, are "slowing down". [1]

This could result in EU cooling down.

The clathrate gun hypothesis suggests that large releases of methane could cause abrupt climate shifts due to methane’s strong greenhouse effect. [2]

Its likely developing nations and their citizens will increase CO2 usage as they move towards a more western lifestyle.

That means there will be an increasing amount of energy production and usage.

Ideally we generate more with solar and nuclear.

Decreasing energy production and consumption is not a real solution.

Even if USA reversed 180 degrees, the rest of the world is going to continue fossil fuel usage.

Developing nations will continue to increase individual CO2 usage as their economies improve.

People want to live a modern western lifestyle, and that requires more energy.

Realistically the world is going to generate far more energy, not reduce energy usage/production.

Moving to solar and nuclear is the only likely solution that will result in reduced CO2 volume.

That's likely not a real solution either.

Encouraging a small minority of HN users to not have an additional child won't move the needle.

It'll likely just remove a person capable of some level of critical thinking from the population pool.

shdh··on ChatGPT Search
Google has a "site" filter.

You can suffix: "site:reddit.com" and get results for that particular site only.

shdh··on Blitzortung – real time lightning strikes around the world
Environment Canada was using streams of radar data to predict the probability of lightning strikes in particular areas. That was in 2014.

Only analyzing client command network frames and entities on the server isn't enough.

shdh··on UltimateAntiCheat
Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC) is still running in user space.
shdh··on UltimateAntiCheat
Developing a cheat is far easier than developing an anti-cheat.

Its a constant arms race, at least until the AC devs bow out.

There is no 100% perfect solution. There are tons of ways to circumvent anti-cheats using a second computer as well.

shdh··on How to Know When It's Time to Go
How much do you need to accumulate before you retire?

I'm guessing retiring just means working on your own things with enough runway til you drop dead.

Kind of bleak when it comes to romantic relationships

shdh··on A look at Apple's technical approach to AI including core model performance etc.
That's assuming Apple isn't training their models on Nvidia hardware.

Inference is on Apples own silicon though.

shdh··on America's elite universities are bloated, complacent and illiberal
The increase in the number of administrators has also infected US healthcare and government agencies.

Cliff of 1 year and vesting period of 4 years
shdh··on Show HN: SQL workbench in the browser
If you're open sourcing it just include a docker-compose in the root directory. I'm sure most people would like to self-host.

In general I don't think this would eat too many resources, just throw it on a VPS using systemd.

Nice, I was working on something similar.

Using meta queries to fill my system prompt with the entire schema of the db in a condensed format.

It was working quite well!

Would love to hear about your approach.

I’ve been using e-charts for a couple years now, works great!
shdh··on Systemd by Example (2021)
A lot of people still probably hate on systemd, but it and journalctl are pretty nice to me.
shdh··on Tenets
Svelte is better than Vue IMO
shdh··on Tenets
JSX is an anti-pattern IMO. People just don’t wana see it as such.
shdh··on Tenets
Have used: Angular, Vue, Polymer 1 and 2, React

Svelte is by far my favorite framework of the lot. It’s also the most productive for me.

R2 works great from my experience, no egress costs are a huge sell.
