I don't blame them for using a different config language, k8s style YAML sucks, which is why half of the k8s ecosystem is tools to generate it for you. And I believe Agent and Alloy are meant to be installable outside k8s as well. I do

Wow, I wish I'd discovered this about 12 hours ago. I just built a new PC yesterday and started installing and configuring Silverblue today, and basically everything I spent this afternoon on is automated by this project. Getting VSCod

This is how I feel about Vlad's statement on their Discord that he wants to provide email services. That strikes me as a big project in terms of both development and operations, somewhat contrary to their privacy focus, and not somethi

The benefits described sound contradictory to me. If you're removing enough heat to reduce the likelihood of Yellowstone erupting, you're removing enough to reduce the power output of the plant. Perhaps there's way to balance

I'm reminded of George RR Martin's quote (spoken by Varys) that "Power resides where men believe it resides." Over time technology makes it easier for small numbers of people to control larger numbers, and eventually I e

Orcas are almost certainly several different species as well, but they remain officially classified as one until scientists agree on how to divide them up.

I've read that the the Hawaiian islands disrupted ocean swells in ways that Polynesians could detect even 1000+ miles away. In addition, the Hawaiian islands are huge and lush, and dumped a large amount of plant debris into the water,

I assume these are all currently non-standard APIs that Firefox will nonetheless be expected to implement? Does Firefox ever force work on the Blink team, or it is it only ever the other way around?

IMO, if that's true, it's horrifying. I think there's a great risk that AGI will lead to the extinction or near extinction of the human race.

That's based on two very cautious geoengineering approaches that have virtually no negative side effects. If governments were willing to consider other geoengineering approaches, I think that number could be driven down significantly.

Google certainly didn't support Amazon forking Android into FireOS. I believe that was just about when Google began migrating tons of APIs from the Android OS to Google Play Services.

Over the very long term, I see no reason to think that higher CO2 levels are fundamentally worse for life than pre-industrial levels. In general, plants are the foundation of the food chain, and higher CO2 levels are better for them. In add

There are several others. I'm not a climate scientist, but my understanding is that the most significant potential negative feedback loop by far is the potential for increased cloud cover from increased humidity. It's evidently th

Noah Smith has an article on Substack arguing that economists have largely failed to produce useful research on climate change, in part because of a preoccupation with carbon taxes to the exclusion of other research topics. The article is s

I mentally tune out anyone who uses the word "elitist". To me, it's one of the clearest signs that they're arguing using prejudices rather than evidence.

Breyer was a prominent copyright law scholar before he became a judge. Between that, and the fact that he hasn't gotten many opportunities to write majority opinions in his 27 years on the court, and the fact that he's likely abou

The line between "sharing his dream world" and "committing securities fraud" is evidently in the eye of the beholder. I admit that I'm surprised he doesn't get sued more for his blatant lies.

Do you have any specific criticisms of that index, or just generalized ideological grievances? Moreover, are you saying that the UK is not meaningfully more democratic than China, and therefore that index is inaccurate?

I think public opinion is pretty clear at this point that no one cares about the specifics of the legal arguments made in any court cases other than lawyers and activists trying to gin up arguments for their side, and perhaps a very small n

This question is equivalent to "Why doesn't the Istanbul government spay and neuter stray cats?", a question the article doesn't address. If there really are no systematic efforts to control the stray cat population, I h

This, except for geoengineering. Developing the infrastructure to apply it at planetary scale will take years, and then actually applying it will take trillions of dollars. If by some miracle it turns out to not be necessary, we have plenty
