From the abstract it seems to be very applicable to combustion exhausts (coal/gas plants) and consuming 5-10% of the combustion energy to recapture the CO2.

Hard to tell what is the required CO2 concentration without the full article. Typical combustion exhaust seems to be ~10% of CO2, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flue_gas

That’s what made Silicon Valley so good. I think a lot of us technical wannabe entrepreneurs go through this learning experience. It made the show really resonate.

So you just shifted your dependency from Docker to Nix. It might be more fun and an intetesting learning experience but also it's more complicated (or at least it's not that widely used like Docker is)
"Automata" is plural. Its singular is "automaton".

Surely dd would be faster than that.
If you want to do this on Windows, I'd recommend giving https://scoop.sh a try.
Indeed. But look at the specs of that computer - any raspberry pi is way more powerful than this. That's the point - the technology today enables meaningful change, back then it was only a dream because the device was too expensive and underpowered
As someone who grew up in a right wing province of southern Austria with neo nazis (and old original nazis) nextdoors I can tell you precisely what changed.

Fighting for the other persons right to speak their thought is a good and noble thing as long as the other person doesn't fight against your right to say what you like and as long as their words don't turn into actions. The more of this happens the more tolerance becomes a luxury only those not directly involved can afford.

Let us substitute something else for right wing/fascist extremism for a moment: Dschihadism. When do we stop tolerating Dschihadists? And when do we start treating every Dschihadist as a potential terrorist, which should be surveilled, silenced, imprisoned and ultimately even killed? The answer is very clear: when the frequency with which people violate other peoples fundamental rights in the Name of Dschihadism starts to rise too much. Be it their children or women who are at times forbidden basic human rights, be it the victims of their violent attacks. This is way beyond being just speech, this is anti-humanistic ideology and it should be stopped just at the point where words become actions.

Now if you ask how things changed so quickly: A significant part of the US public came closer to these actions (with a strongly visible part trying to stop the counting of a democratic election with violence). During the Trump years it wasn't just speech that was problematic. People got killed, people got attacked, people got their rights violated in many ways based on that speech. And there is a threshold beyond which tolerance makes you complicit.

Don't become the kind of person that tolerates the NSDAP party rise while closing your eyes to all the clearly visible actions that follow their Brandreden (=German for "inflamatory speech").

You can totally say something I don't agree with and I will fight for your right to do it, but as soon as you step over the line and violate other peoples rights, you waived your right to be tolerated by me.
I think the bigger gotcha with carbon capture is it sustains the quid pro quo that climate change is the biggest threat to unchecked energy consumption growth. Behind climate change, there's also biodiversity collapse, ocean fish depletion, and that's gonna ruin the food system billions of people depend on, way before they see the benefits of globalisation.
but we must capture de one we already emitted to balance the CO2 cicle
I absolutely dislike it when people decide to simply gloss over the licensing parts of code. Code licenses are a crucial component and you should really know and understand the implications of the license you pick.

This is even more important in the kernel as it changes the set of symbols available to your module.
I think you're heavily underestimating necessary investment. I would say by a factor of 2 easily[1] in practice more like 3-4 because once you go in you want to have a decent chance of success. Also ignoring the fact that as soon as it starts working, you have Amazon on your back with much much deeper pockets than you to keep market of viewers acting irrational.

Anegdata, I just stopped listening to Joe Rogan, despite liking Spotify more than Youtube. I was on the fence anyway, I'm lazy and so on.

Don't think this passage from the abstract stood the test of time. Common Lisp's standard library was large at the time, but is nowadays either comparable or small (or tiny!) compared to the standard libraries shipped with C++, Python, Java, Haskell. Software complexity skyrocketed since 1984.
1. The solvent in carbon capture runs in a closed loop. You typically heat it, and it releases the CO2 so you can compress it and inject it below ground.

2. You don't necessarily need a depleted natural gas reservoir to inject CO2 subsurface (though they sure are convenient) and there is plenty of room for CO2 subsurface. It also doesn't creep to the surface on any meaningful timescale.

3. How do we transport it there? Pipelines.

I feel like CO2 sequestration is second only to nuclear in the amount of unfounded concerns. There's one very well founded concern directly in the article - they estimate $50 per tonne of CO2 just to capture, let alone to store. My experience on a 2009 carbon capture plant design was that approx $100 per tonne of CO2 was the lowest carbon price that would really make carbon sequestration highly attractive and widespread.

I also happen to think a $100 per tonne carbon price is not such a bad idea. But it is possible that other technologies would beat carbon sequestration at that carbon price point. I don't know.

In WWII, Italy's naval force was really ineffective at doing anything against the British navy. Besides other obvious reasons, the biggest under appreciated factor was that the Brits had radars, Italians didn't.
Hmm i don’t think you can compare IntelliJ which is a fully featured IDE with refractor functionalities, full text search, debugger and so on to a vim setup with plugins in docker container, just because they both edit text. This what the author did at the end of the write up. It’s like comparing jQuery to NodeJS, yeah they both generally are for JavaScript but serve a different purpose.

It's a 1800x Amd system with 32GB Ram, main partition on SSD, /home on harddisk. Windows updates take minutes, Linux updates are usually even faster (except for upgrades which are much slower than Windows upgrades).

I'll try that analyzer. But I don't think the boot is slowed down, it's just a bit slower than Windows. Shutdown takes minutes, though.

What came to my mind when reading the unedited copy is that you are confusing MVP with prototype. An effective MVP is something that does relatively very few things but that does them well or very well. Otherwise your churning will be huge. In other words, I read your post completely but it was somewhat painful because the copy was not polished for clarity, so I doubt I read a second one. I churned. To build effective MVPs you need to keep an eye on quality. Do fewer things that work flawlessly will have much more impact than throwing a bunch of things to the wall. You need to make a culture change and overweight quality. And I also recommend B2B if you happen to be trying B2C.
Yup, completely true. Sometimes you can make it back to the good side, but not always. Most people have no idea of this parallel world because they're busy enjoying their lives in a way countless others are unable to. Which is, ofcourse, in a certain way, what many of those less fortunate people would want for them. Just remember to have empathy.

Anything that is owned by Google won't improve but rather decline:

- etc

(notable exception: after a decade they've actually stopped serving me insulting ads - but I do wonder if that wasn't Google but rather the advertiser who got whiff that Google sent their expensive "targeted" ads to everyone.)

have you tried syncthing? i have it running on a synology nas that acts as the always-on server part, but i used syncthing just fine for over a year without it as well. you just have to be very conscious about having both devices turned on at the same time so they can sync to each other. you pretty much have to do the same thing with dropbox anyway, i.e. let a large file upload to their server before you turn off your computer

I think that page supports the notion that it's fraud. People pay with money for the book because of its claims. The legal dictionary says:

FRAUD. An intentional perversion of truth for the purpose of inducing another in reliance upon it to part with some valuable thing belonging to him or to surrender a legal right; a false representation of a matter of fact, whether by words or by conduct, by false or misleading allegations, or by concealment of that which should have been disclosed, which deceives and is intended to deceive another so that he shall act upon it to his legal injury.

It's a pretty broad definition. Certainly a strong case could be mounted that this fits, however, academics are basically never prosecuted for fraud and there would be enormous institutional resistance to doing so, given the prevalence of fraud in the research literature.
Ok closed loop sounds better, the article didn't clarify this. But the compression itself and the heating will cost significant energy too, don't forget this.

But consider for a moment how much coal and oil we've been digging up since the industrial age. CO2 is much less dense once it's uncontained underground. It won't stay liquid at that pressure.

In that case we'll need to have underground space of a size of many times the space that all that coal and oil took up, due to the lower density. Just pumping it there, forcing it underground in different spots etc will also cause significant ecological disruption. It's a lot of land we're going to be running pipelines to, drilling into to inject it, using heavy machinery etc.

And if some of it does end up being released due to a mistake, it can have potentially deadly effects. Like what happened at Lake Nyos. Safety would really have to be guaranteed.

I don't know, it just sounds like a solution that won't scale to the enormity of the climate problems, and rather more like big business wanting to monetise the problem itself (and also use it as an excuse to not reduce consumption).

But anyway, if it does prove itself in trials I would change my mind on it.
A graceful climb down: I'll settle for that.

It would be useful to at least know a little bit about the type of customer the products were for.

There was a story a while ago from someone who had built software for physicians to pick the best drugs for a particular diagnosis. They described the problem and how it was currently solved. They described how they talked to doctors and what response they got. They described what they had to do to create a useful and credible product. I found that post very enlightening.

With this post I feel like I have absolutely no way to judge whether the author's conclusions are relevant to my own projects.

> So you just shifted your dependency from Docker to Nix

OTOH you don't have to write all this boilerplate code that's suggested in the article and your Nix environment is truly reproducible, whereas rebuilding a Docker image might not reproduce it faithfully. (Try running `apt-get install` in a Ubuntu container without running `apt-get update` first.) On top of that, if you've ever had to use more than two languages (+ toolchains) inside a single project, maybe even on multiple architectures[0], you'll appreciate Nix taking care of the entire bootstrap procedure.

I don't see what is the point to try to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. I don't even understand the fuss around global warming.Why is global warming a bad thing?

The plants and animals will adapt and evolve to handle the additional heat. There will be natural selection as usual. New variants of plants will evolve which can absorb more CO2. All species on earth will find a new equilibirum as they always had in the past.

The fear of global warming is only a human concern. The planet and the animals don't give a crap - Each individual specimen just tries the best they can to adapt to whatever the universe morphs into.

The problem with trying to manage global situations is that evolution is cleverer than you are.

To quote George Carlin:

“We’re so self-important. Everybody’s going to save something now. 'Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save those snails.' And the greatest arrogance of all: save the planet. Save the planet, we don’t even know how to take care of ourselves yet."

"The air and the water will recover, the earth will be renewed. And if it’s true that plastic is not degradable, well, the planet will simply incorporate plastic into a new paradigm: the earth plus plastic. The earth doesn’t share our prejudice toward plastic. Plastic came out of the earth. The earth probably sees plastic as just another one of its children. Could be the only reason the earth allowed us to be spawned from it in the first place. It wanted plastic for itself. Didn’t know how to make it. Needed us. Could be the answer to our age-old egocentric philosophical question, 'Why are we here?'"

you should have a little flexibility around that date, so sure it makes sense to post it. you're not going to consume all April one news on that day.. unless you're an AI.

Thanks a lot for making this.
I think that hinges on the assumption that it is better for the world that US military (that has warrantless access to the huge amounts of non-e2e-encrypted-data that Apple and Google collect) becomes stronger and more powerful thereby (relative to the Chinese/Russian militaries). They can't be evaluated independently: a win for Apple/Google/AWS/Microsoft is a win for the CIA, NSA, and the US armed forces by providing access to the end-users' data to the US spying apparatus.

I think the US military's record on human rights and violence is roughly equivalent to that of China or Russia (a view not widely shared within the US, but one that at least holds a little water in full view of the historical record, on balance) so I'm pretty skeptical of the "better for the world" claim.

I'm also open to the idea that perhaps SV software (which, by circumstance, is subject to US military spying) is so much better and more efficient than that which is available elsewhere (this is certainly true wrt Free Software) that substituting authoritarian mass surveillance by a foreign national military (the US) for an equivalent authoritarian mass surveillance by a local national military (Russia/China) is basically identical on that scale, and that the whole world is better for iOS and Google Apps/Gmail due to the end-user lifestyle and efficiency benefits they provide and the essentially identical human rights bullshit that passes for "national security" in all major jurisdictions. That's also a reasonable argument.

In any case I'm not looking forward to additional per-nation meddling in the UX of the major multi-billion-dollar mobile platforms. It's going to shit them up terribly (moreso than their owners are already doing with their services revenue models), and force people who want to avoid it to mobile software that has much, much, much less investment into it (such as Free Software).

Yes, learning nix is definitely an investment, but it's more powerful than docker, allowing you to create your entire setup, including drivers, desktop environment, and any userspace apps you might need, all declarative, and contained in a config file (or several if you prefer)
I agree that avoiding emissions in the first place is preferable to trying to figure out how to undo the emissions afterwards.

Mental model of emission removal scope is some giant world system maybe 1x or 2x the size of the fossil fuel industry, trying to run in reverse what we've spent the last hundred or two years doing.

Carbon tax, carbon tax, carbon tax. Something significant like $250 / ton. Cannot come soon enough. Ideally a global carbon tax, failing that just between a few countries & with tariffs or sanctions or so on to penalize trading partners that don't regulate externalities of pollution.
It looks impressive but it isn't clear how much you have to pay for services from them. It isn't free and you aren't in control. Your snapshots and abilities to rollback etc are likely to be dependent on their storage servers.

They certainly should monetise, but not making it clear is what I object to. I've raised as an issue for clarification in their community wiki.
