Even though the scribe wrote an introduction presenting this (copied) content with grandiose words ("Accurate reckoning for inquiring into things, and the knowledge of all things, mysteries ... all secrets"), it actually really looks like the notebook of a student working out application exercises under the direction of a teacher.

I really wonder if that wasn't actually the circumstances of the original writing.

It wasn't Anthropic that was hacked but SpaceXAI (their Cursor Marketplace).

Need to see details, but it's perfectly plausible that geolocated requests from Brazil get a special treatment during this specific period of elections.

Ok now the 2.0 appears in the F-Droid page on F-Droid itself.

Thank you, but this APK is not the v2.0.

Since this made into HN first page, I've been trying to find the APK of this version 2.0...

Am I missing something stupid?

Yes the EPA should be able to regulate noise pollution too, unless maybe if another agency is doing that job.

No, there is no issue to have that definition encompassing all of what in society causes damage to the open environment[1].

Note that your wording, "encompasses [...] all of society", does not correspond to my stance. It only encompasses what causes negative externalities in the way I defined.

It is crucial that there exist such an agency (EPA) that examines these environmental negative externalities (let's just call it pollution now, as it is so defined), and considers ways to limit it.

Each agency has its own axis, and it is the combination of them that is effective: if you only leave the energy sector to e.g. the USEA (US Energy Association), they won't have the incentive, definition, or analysis axis in the direction of looking at human health or forests decline, purely because it is not in their definition or their statuses.

Similarly, if you are left with just the EPA, they won't provide the expertise to evaluate if this or that type of electricity generation is feasible and with which kind of technology.

It just the division of expertise, the division of labor, and that's why scientists and engineers work together across domains!

[1]: damage should be defined relative to a severely detrimental impact to the biosphere or to human society. The environment is understood to be open as defined by not having clear boundaries that may, for example, keep the impact strictly contained within the limits of a volume property of the agent of this impact. Air is typically not contained in such a delimited volume, and is thus open environment. Water also flows freely and is connected to e.g. big bodies of water. And so on.

About "modules":

"Software people should be able to understand the importance of separation of modules."

The "energy" module cares about the watt-hours produced but doesn't care about the cancer caused by the smoke!! (or, for CO2, about the planet-scale extinction event caused by raising temperatures, or the multiplying forest fires)

Thus you need the "pollution assessment and mitigation" module!

There. Proved to you that I am a SE :))

Yes (I agree with you, I am just trying to rephrase to make your point even more punchy).

It has been a pollutant as soon as it has started to be emitted at large scale through combustion, in particular of fossil fuels.

People who deny it are usually very brain-washed by far-right/alt-right propaganda, which tries to hammers into their brains that "it's just the same stuff that you exhale when you breathe".

They don't understand (or rather, they haven't been told!) that the scales are incommensurate.

It's a pollutant in quantities such as emitted by human activities, always orders of magnitude more than what any terrestrial life form emits through respiration.

This GHG is emitted (alongside methane, by the way), by humans, in such quantities that it severely impacts the thermal balance of the planet, and threatens an extinction-event comparable to what only large asteroids are usually capable of.

It is not weird at all.

A completely useful (and consistent with the modern usage of the word) definition of "pollution" can be worded as:

"anthropogenic alteration of the open environment with negative consequences on ecosystems or society".

Have you heard about noise pollution? Match it with the definition above.

CO2 emitted by combustion from human activities is orders of magnitude more than what any natural biological process emits.

Now you can see why CO2 emitted by fossil fuels combustion is, by any logic, pollution.

Not a "structure", but rather atmospheric resonance create this polygonal shape, from cyclones self-arrangement etc.

Same thing on Jupiter, by the way, known since a long time.

I'd say that "structure" is click-baity, as it evokes some artifact.

"You have to compile iOS apps on a Mac anyway"

Well, not if somebody finds a way to run the compilation elsewhere!

Hence my comment!

Right now, iOS dev requires to own a recent Mac machine, which is hell of expensive, and moreover needs to be renewed every few years...

Completely unjustifiable...

The real deal-breaker is supporting the iOS app development. Which right now is only possible using XCode.

No support for iOS though.

Ridiculous. I am anti fascist, and I have never heard of any of what you are talking about.

I oppose fascism.

That does not magically infuse into my brain mysterious connections to groups of people, nor instantaneous knowledge and mastery of tactics from nazi groups...

That would be actually kind of cool, but no, sorry to disappoint you.
