>We remove the estimated influence of three main natural variability factors: El Niño, volcanism, and solar variation. The resulting adjusted and thus less “noisy” data show that there has been acceleration with over 98% confidence, with faster warming over the last 10+ years than during any previous decade.
I’m not sure if this comment was low effort or sarcasm but it certainly doesn’t further discussion per HN guidelines.
Those are factors in this analysis that weren’t in all prior analyses, and the confidence levels in this analysis have improved greatly and we know much more certainly that global temps are rising faster now than earlier decades.
It's been ages since I started using it, but I don't think it was any problem in particular. I think I just happened to watch a video by Scott Wlaschin one day and was intrigued by the weird language and the things he was doing with the type system, having only been familiar with object oriented programming at that point in my life. I kept coming back to it and eventually it became my bread and butter.
What I like most about it is the type system (discriminated unions, etc.). It's really powerful and intuitive, without letting me go overboard "big braining" the perfect type for every situation like I tend to do with e.g. typescript or haskell. F# is also great because we can access the full dotnet runtime and nuget ecosystem. I have several projects where I mix C# and F#, and they're perfectly compatible.
Not who you asked, but I decided to try F# after reading “Domain Modeling Made Functional” which uses F# and is one of the best books I’ve read on domain driven design. I cannot recommend it more.
That being said, F# wasn’t really for me and applying the ideas from the book into other languages has been a better fit for me.
It layers a pentatonic guitar melody with filter sweep, a saw/triangle bass, warm e-piano chords, TR-808 drums, and a sparse music box that drifts across the stereo field.
I'm blown away.
I do acknowledge the possiblity that it might be heavily plagiarized from an original composition in the training set - I wouldn't know.
The text explains that if we accept electric light, we will forget how to make fire and we will starve. Well, we use electric light, far more than initially imagined, we are alive and we haven't forgotten how to make fire, and there is still a candle industry.
