    1. Treasury yields have gone up as the dollar's value has actually weakened as normally you'd expect as Treasury yields go up, that the dollar would strengthen because there would be more demand for American assets.

      for - why - increase in treasury yields normally strengthens US Dollar - Gemini AI gives a good explanation - Yes, it's generally expected that when U.S. Treasury yields increase, the value of the US dollar will strengthen. - This is because higher yields attract more foreign investment, increasing demand for the dollar to purchase those assets. - Higher yields ( higher interest rate) mean more attractive returns: - When Treasury yields rise, the returns on U.S. government bonds become more appealing to investors, both domestic and foreign. - Increased demand for US dollars: - As investors from other countries seek to buy these higher-yielding U.S. assets, they need to first convert their local currencies into US dollars to make the purchase. - This increased demand for dollars strengthens its value. - Safe-haven status: - During times of economic uncertainty, investors often flock to safe-haven assets like U.S. Treasuries. This further boosts the demand for the US dollar, as it is the currency used to hold these assets. - Currency Valuation - A strong currency indicates a healthy economy and can attract more foreign investment. This creates a positive feedback loop, as a stronger dollar can further boost investor confidence and lead to even higher demand for US assets.

    1. Noch nie gab es in einem arktischen Winter so wenig mehr als wie in diesem Jahr. Die Tats Interview dazu, den Klimaforscher Raphael Köhler. Zurzeit geht das arktische Mehrheit mehr als Prodikade um ca. 2,5% zurück. Der Rückgang des Meeraises verstärkt die an der Akt des Unterhins. Schnelle Erwärmung Sie führt zu Veränderungen des Jet Streams und ist damit auch an der Zunahme von Extremwetterereignissen in Europa beteiligt. Anders als früher nimmt inzwischen auch das antarktische Mehr-Eis-Ab. Die Gründe für diesen Vorgang sind noch nicht geklärt. https://taz.de/Physiker-ueber-Temperaturen-in-der-Arktis/!6079629/

Tatsächlich hat sich das Verhältnis zwischen menschengemachter und natürlicher Masse im Jahr 2020 erstmalig umgekehrt: Seit kurzem besteht mehr als die Hälfte allen Materials auf der Erde nicht mehr aus Biomasse, wie im Urzustand der Erde, sondern aus Stoffen wie Beton, Asphalt, Metall, Plastik, Glas oder Papier

    1. it's a linear increase in performance and the reason I mentioned that is because as probably know that's the signature of unconscious learning

      for - insight - linear increase in performance - indicates unconscious learning - David Eagleman - sensory substitution

    1. so because now the mind is not because the the the mind isn't separate from everything else your mind begins to become more and more synchronistic

      for - insight - embodied wisdom of interdependent origination - increase in synchronicity - John Churchill - metaphor - node in an interconnected graph of reality

      insight - embodied wisdom of interdependent origination - increase in synchronicity - John Churchill - This is an interesting insight - We can possibly explain it this way: - When we have a limited embodiment of who we are as the traditional ego-bound-to-body, our experiences are interpreted in a limited way, though we aren't aware of it - However, when we have a more expanded embodiment of who we are that is more nondualistic, in which - sense of self and - the environment - become blurred due to experiencing cause-and-effect between self and environment in a more nuanced way - When we don't have enough perceptual acuity to understand that one event is related to another, we infer correlation instead of causality - events that appeared random from the limited perspective become nonrandom and more noticed at the more expansive perspective - From a more expansive perspective, we could feel more strings attached to us and events pull on us through those connecting strings - When we feel separate, we don't experience the pull of those connecting strings - Indeed, we do not even perceive there to be strings that connect us

      metaphor - node in an interconnected graph of reality - One possible metaphor is that as we expand our perception and cognition, we become more aware that we are like a node with infinite connections to other nodes of reality

    1. Eine neue Studie ergibt, dass sich das Abschmelzen des westantarktischen Eisschilds selbst dann fortsetzen wird, wenn die Erderhitzung auf 1,5° begrenzt wird. Das Schelfeis stellt ein Kipppelememt dar. Der Abschmelzvorgang verstärkt sich selbst und führt zu einer unaufhaltsamen Erhöhung des Meeresspiegels, weil er den Weg für das hinter dem Schelfeis gelegene Gletschereis frei macht. https://www.derstandard.at/story/3000000192327/meterhoher-meeresanstieg-durch-abschmelzen-des-westantarktischen-eisschelfs

    1. Der westantarktische Eisschild wird in diesem Jahrhundert dreimal schneller abschmelzen als im vergangenen, selbst wenn es gelingt, die globale Erhitzung auf 1,5 Grad zu begrenzen. Einer neuen Studie zufolge wurde einer der Kipppunkte, unterhalb derer das Klimasystem stabil bleibt, überschritten. Dadurch wird es zu einem so großen Anstieg des Meeresspiegels kommen, dass mehrere Küstenstädte aufgegeben werden müssen. Die Studie stützt sich nur auf eine einzige Modellierung, wird aber von den Ergebnissen anderer Untersuchungen ergänzt. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/oct/23/rapid-ice-melt-in-west-antarctica-now-inevitable-research-shows

    1. ach dominant 7th in mm. 2–4 is subsequently expandedwith the ii≤57–V or ii7–V7 progressions, thereby doubling the rate of harmonic rhythm. Inm. 2, then, A7 becomes Emin7 (≤5)–A7; in m. 3, G7 turns into Dmin7–G7; and, in m. 4,F7 expands into Cmin7–F7.Comparing the second half of each A section shows that the first A is harmonically openand ends on a ii 7–V7 in m. 8, while the second and the last A feature closed harmoniccadences on I in m. 16 and m. 32, respectively. The bridge in mm. 17–24 has a symmetricalphrase structure and slower harmonic rhythm, which redirects the harmony from I to IVin m. 19 and, then, to ≤VI in m. 23. These key areas are tonicized with local ii7–V7progressions. The choice of these tonal areas corroborates an interesting fact about theoverall tonality of bebop tunes with respect to jazz traditions. The subdominant key areahas always had strong blues underpinnings and the flat submediant was one of the fewchromatic regions that ragtime or early jazz tunes allowed in their harmonic structure.3

    1. Die Erdatmosphäre erwärmt sich inzwischen um mehr als 0,2 Grad pro Jahrzehnt und damit schneller, als bisher von der Klimawissenschaft festgestellt. Ende 2022 lag die formale Durchschnittstemperatur um 1,26° über dem vorindustriellen Wert. Das CO2 Budget, dass noch zur Verfügung steht, wenn mit 50% Wahrscheinlichkeit dass ein Komma fünf Grad Ziel erreicht werden soll, hat sich gegenüber den Angaben des Weltklimarats 2021 inzwischen halbiert.

    1. Die sogenannte Keeling-kurve, die das Ansteigen des CO2-Gehalts der Erdatmosphäre darstellt, erreichte Ende Mai mit 424,64 ppm einen neuen Höchstwert. Ähnlich hohe Werte hat es in den letzten 10 Millionen Jahren der Erdgeschichte nicht gegeben.

    1. hyperscript is more concise because it's just a function call and doesn't require a closing tag. Using it will greatly simplify your tooling chain.

      I suppose this is also an argument that Python tries to make? That other languages have this con:

      • cons: closing tags make it more verbose / increase duplication and that Python is simpler / more concise because it uses indentation instead of closing delimiters like end or } ?
