How a ‘green gold rush’ in the Amazon led to dubious carbon deals on Indigenous lands
BARCELONA — In December 2022, one of Brazil’s largest Indigenous territories and one of the smallest would each sign a 118-page, 10-year contract they would soon come to regret —as would faraway investors looking to capitalize on the billion-dollar carbon and biodiversity markets. In Brazil’s lush westernmost states of Amazonas and Acre, which border Peru, […]

Oh good! Someone from the @… community can weigh in on the benefits.
Oh wait…
Anyway, sooner or later the time for computable reals will come. I'm still HODLing stock in continued fractions (and teaching them every year to my first-year students).

Isaac King Advocates Replacing Floating-Point with Exact Arithmetic in High-Level Languages Last updated 13 hours ago Software engineer Isaac King initiated a discussion on X on November 5, arguing that high-level languages like Python and JavaScript should default to arbitrary-precision arithmetic, such as rationals, to avoid floating-point precision errors that burden developers. Supporters agree on the need for greater accuracy in non-integer computations, while critics, including program…

@… It’s in preparation for a medical exam; there’s no indication whether milk substitutes are permitted, so I’m playing it safe.

Equipped with Azure’s near-limitless storage capacity and computing power, Unit 8200 had built an indiscriminate new system allowing its intelligence officers to collect, play back and analyse the content of cellular calls of an entire population. The project was so expansive that, according to sources from Unit 8200 – which is equivalent in its remit to the US National Security Agency – a mantra emerged internally that captured its scale and ambition: “A million calls an hour.”
According to several sources, the enormous repository of intercepted calls – which amounted to as much as 8,000 terabytes of data – was held in a Microsoft datacentre in the Netherlands. Within days of the Guardian publishing the investigation, Unit 8200 appears to have swiftly moved the surveillance data out of the country. According to sources familiar with the huge data transfer outside of the EU country, it occurred in early August. Intelligence sources said Unit 8200 planned to transfer t…

@… The LernOS peer learning guidelines could be an example. There are several guidelines on how to acquire or improve skills that have been written and are maintained by people in their spare time.
