There was a hank green video about this a year back. Video link here, the tldr was that container ships used to use a type of fuel that was both bad for the environment but also really good at cloud seeding. More clouds shielded the oceans surface from the sun, artificially reducing its temperature. But in 2020 regulations made container ships move to a fuel that didnt seed clouds as much, so fewer clouds, higher temperature.

So i guess one potential take away from that, if its right, is that the temperatures are not “suddenly” getting worse, but rather have been artificially depressed and we are only now going to what it should be.

And it even has baseball

Every year is the year of the linux desktop lol

How did you feel it was different from the first time around ? Ive been meaning to pay it a second time but haven’t quite took the leap yet.

If you can work through all of the weird issues it works great, but it can definitely be finicky to setup for some people. Im in an apartment and the wifi in 5ghz range is so congested i had stuttering every few seconds. Had to switch to use DFS and it was super smooth after that.

Afaikt the paper refernced in the article is The Human Cost of Anthropogenic Global Warming: Semi-Quantitative Prediction and the 1,000-Tonne Rule. .

From the abstract:

The carbon budget for 2°C AGW (roughly 10^12 tonnes carbon) will indirectly cause roughly 10^9 future premature deaths (10% of projected maximum global population), spread over one to two centuries.

The key part of this being that it specifies 2C of warming. According to the climate action tracker, with current policies are on track for 2.7 degrees of warming by 2100. So assuming no further polices to move back to 2C or less, the 1 billion deaths could be larger.

Yeah this game makes me appreciate how well the normal slide to unlock works haha

doubt

Not sure of others having been having issues with steam save file cloud sync but it seems like every other time i try to start the game it hangs on syncing errors. Wonder if it’s just me or maybe a bunch of people due to the larger than expected concurrent player number.

Genuinely appreciate seeing these videos again. That this was 17 years ago blows my mind.

I wouldn’t be surprised if users of most new apps with a lot of hype follow this trend. Everyone jumps in at first, as hype dies a lot of users stop visiting, and after that is when # of daily users stabilizes and begins the organic growth. We are still in the hype dying phase, transitioning to normal growth.

For that reason, I dont put much weight in headlines like this. It will take several more months or a year to really make a conclusion on whether the app is a success or failure.

Wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle isnt as meaningful of an experince as some thats maybe wide as a pond and deep as a pond. 100+ hours is useless if those hours are boring. Id rather they make shorter more meaningful experiences.

I guess its just a limited release rn for beta testers or something like that ?

Top 6 hours is great but it’s easy to get to the end of all the post with the 6 hours setting, especially when you don’t subscribe to the spammy meme communities so I tent to lean more to top 12 hour or top 1 day sometimes too.

Litterally watching this right now as i scrolled past this post. Technology connections is a great channel.

Was eyeing this for a little bit but this post might be the one that makes me buy it

The ‘tt’ (sometimes transliterated to ‘dd’ instead) comes from the ㄸcharacter in Korean and is pronouced like a strong ‘d’ sound similar to “dog” or “day”. There is a little more subtlety to it as its doesnt map perfectly to english sounds but thats rougly close enough.

Holy, it look so similar to reddit sync i love it :)

Going to see Oppenheimer in imax soon and this post got me researching about imax and fake imax and now im a little disappointed that the imwx theater im going to is just digital imax (fake imax). Oh well :/
