To hunt a species to extinction is not logical.

Edit: Because the topic is about communicating with Whales and my response was to a comment about hunting them, I thought it would be appropriate to reference something Spock said in Star Trek IV. Colloquially known as "The one with the whales".
Indeed, because it’s pretty much the only way to feasibly scale-test something like this without asking people to replace their hardware or breaking them in other ways. Maybe one day we will see protocols like this at lower layers.
Learning rotation is important and there are lots of Taubman videos on YT that explain it in detail, usually with scales.

In a nutshell, there is the concept of single rotation and double rotation. When finger-to-finger movement is in one direction, like 1,2,3, you use double rotations. When going from 3 to 1, a single rotation. The movements are highly exaggerated for learning and demonstration.

I think it's easy to get hung up on "how can I play piano if I'm rotating my hand all over the place?" In my opinion, a large part of learning rotation and how to use it for slow practice on difficult passages is about freeing your arm and hand so they are not unintentionally opposing movement. Playing with tension or unintentional opposition, especially if you play hours a day, is one way to get RSI (tendonitis).

Here are some excellent YT resources for piano I have bookmarked. Several of these have videos that talk about forearm rotation:

Still in the order of magnitude of military spending.
Surely there are studies of LCOE for both when trying to produce baseload capacity. Personally, I suspect nuclear construction costs are dominant, but that should also be addressible through improvements in technology and policy.
> But somehow the idea took hold that nuclear would be built instead of solar, and not instead of coal.

Nobody wants to admit they are still considering coal, but everyone wants to take credit for blocking nuclear and building renewables. So at a glance it seems like it's nuclear vs renewables, when it's always been nuclear vs coal.
>And this is where I stopped

God I'm so sick of these holier than thou Richard Stallman level unrealistic dismissals. This take isn't brilliant - we all, at all times, know that we have the option to not ____ if we so choose. Not unlike how people say things like "well I would just choose not to work at ____". That we often choose otherwise means we can't but.

Cool like by means of a blogpost that makes it to the top of hn that details how annoying the vendor's process is?
How is the article clickbait? What did you expect based on the headline that you didn't get?
Honestly, still... if that was what it cost globally? Sounds cheap to me, the next closest I've read about is in the $100-$120/ton range.

Better to just not emit it, but nice to have numbers for how big a carbon tax needs to be to encourage reduction over capture.
> I find staff notation very frustrating

It gets better with time. Just like a programming language with a quirky syntax, your mind eventually compensates for it.

IMHO, staff notation really not bad when you consider how else to pack that much information into limited horizontal and vertical space.

The most pragmatic solution is making high pollutant energy costly. Some small set of polluters are responsible for the majority of the emissions. (1) This is only possible because of being able to chalk the damage up to externalities.

We need to set up systems to adding cost to emissions.

A substantial PR rebrand modern Nuclear energy (maybe called something else) would be needed if you wanted to get traction on that.
Long gone are days where people / governments make decisions based on any objective facts and pragmatic cost/ benefit/ risk analysis.

I understand solar is competitive and full tilt on that would be good. It's got better PR right now.

Whatever we do .. install some some smoke scrubbers on dirty energy ASAP.

And probably do your 15 year R&D plan on carbon capture tech (if we had to choose one direction) as we have already done (otherwise) irreversible harm that switching to renewables / Nuclear now won't solve.

> We are completely fine growing so many pumpkins only for them to be carved and thrown away;

As far as entertainment goes, carving a pumpkin and then letting it quickly compost away is relatively low impact.

You could always argue that the most environmentally friendly option is to do nothing at all and cause nothing to be produced or moved around, but that's hardly a realistic argument. Criticizing every activity that causes something to be consumed, no matter how renewable or compostable, is hardly productive.

Once the environmental arguments get to the point where we're criticizing people for carving a vegetable up but not eating it once per year, it gets hard for people to take seriously.
> There is a limit to how much we can pollute space.

Not really. The universe is about 93 billion light-years in size and won't ever be traversable in a finite amount of time.

Your comment seems to indicate that you think of "space" as earth orbit. Starship is specifically about going beyond orbit.

I wonder, what will replace traditional devices. If sci fi movies are right, the future will be holographic displays. Meta seems to think it's the metaverse, which sounds to me like it could be VR (They couldn't possibly be so pathetic as to imagine a simple super app could pass as a "metaverse").

No one here is hyping Forth, they're conversing about and in some cases expressing admiration for what is an amazing and fun little language. Some FORTH systems can fit into less than 10 kilobytes of memory.

FORTH was invented in 1968, and was first used outside of Moore's lab by 1970. I could only wish one of my works was still being trash-talked on HN 53 years from now! You can't pay for that kind of "hype".
oh, its not the end of the world. thinking on this is I think its that its procedural (how not what). I guess I still really like the notion of programming as unification for this kind of thing.

One of those links was me mentioning it, and this got so under my skin it took Wacom's brand from "premium, respectable, best in class" to "untrustworthy, garbage, barrel scraping, avoid even if the alternatives function less well" in my head just instantly.

One claim of moving the goalposts comes from https://rootsofprogress.org/devanney-on-the-nuclear-flop:

>> Excessive concern about low levels of radiation led to a regulatory standard known as ALARA: As Low As Reasonably Achievable. What defines “reasonable”? It is an ever-tightening standard. As long as the costs of nuclear plant construction and operation are in the ballpark of other modes of power, then they are reasonable.

>> This might seem like a sensible approach, until you realize that it eliminates, by definition, any chance for nuclear power to be cheaper than its competition. Nuclear can‘t even innovate its way out of this predicament: under ALARA, any technology, any operational improvement, anything that reduces costs, simply gives the regulator more room and more excuse to push for more stringent safety requirements, until the cost once again rises to make nuclear just a bit more expensive than everything else. Actually, it‘s worse than that: it essentially says that if nuclear becomes cheap, then the regulators have not done their job.

Basically the safety regulations (some of which are nonsensical -- the whole article is worth a read) preclude cost-effective nuclear. I won't address your point on waste, I think it's covered elsewhere on this page well enough.
From the title, I thought it would be a web server compiled as web assembly and running in the browser...
It’s only expensive because of excessive safety guidelines which are the result of fearmongering.

> A lot of people go through guides of writing a lisp, I'd love to urge people to try writing a simple Forth interpreter instead, or even something somewhat related such as TCL.

See, that's the problem. Writing a Forth interpreter, to be blunt, is not writing in Forth. You should be writing applications in Forth, not interpreters. It's great to marvel at the simplicity of a Forth interpreter, until you have to use it in anger for an actual application.

I've made several semi-serious "hobby" stabs at working with Forth, and, for me, it's a tough row to hoe. I look at something like F83 and marvel that someone was able to pull that off in that environment. I simply don't think I've used it enough and cross the line where I'm not constantly fighting...something to get anything done and thus my projects (or my patience) get derailed and I move on to something else. I've never gained any real momentum. F83 is actually quite robust (given it platform), and while gForth and such are better, it's not THAT much better. The core language is the same, though there are some more utilities.

My Pooh brain may simply not be able to cope with it properly. Could just be me. But a lot of Forth practitioners are kind of tired of all the "Look I have my own Forth" posts, vs actual working code doing something interesting besides Yet Another NEXT.

The Forth "enthusiast" community reminds me of the Pharo community. A community focused on writing Pharo to write Pharo, rather than applications on top of Pharo. They're constantly rewriting something (and making great strides!), but in the end you just get a great tool for making a great tool, and nobody (it seems) is making actual projects with it.

A lot of folks get a lot of "stuff" done using all sorts of languages and such, and showcase their wares, with the focus being on the application and the problem they solved. Forth focuses on Forths. And I know this is not universal, folks use it every day in industry and such, and there's even a couple nice videos showing "Forth in action", but much of the notoriety of Forth is the simplicity of the system, rather than the applications written on top of it.

Having satellites is important to various industries and branches of government. As such, money and power will enable them to have satellites up there.

Even if we let Kessler syndrome run unchecked to the point of no return where it destroys a large portion of satellites, we will either start serious clean-up of certain orbits to allow military observation and communication satellites to go up again, or we will develop better collision avoidance or self-defence systems.
The "standard" power line frequency back in the early days of hydroelectricity generation at Niagara Falls was 25 cycles per second (Hz). I had an electronics teacher who used to tell us how the power companies of Upstate New York and Southern Ontario made the transition to 60Hz very abruptly, with crews going door-to-door exchanging any appliance or equipment wired for 25Hz for an equivalent, brand new 60Hz model. Bear in mind that this predated almost all electronic devices. 25Hz generation carried on at several Niagara sites well into the late 20th century, although by then any 25Hz generator would have been paired with a frequency shifter as needed, which was simply a 25Hz motor geared to a 60Hz generator. Yes, there were energy losses inherent in such a system, but all the engineers had to do was point at Niagara Falls and say "No worries, there's plenty of energy here."

This is true.

Also the most efficient and safe reactors are arguably in the bellies of the leading edge Submarines. It's no surprise France is going all in on the Small Modular Reactor tech since they are rumored to possess some of the best in the world already. Likely a question of declassification.

The reactor at MIT has students allowed to run parts of the operation after they pass a few strenuous tests. This hypothetical scenario where the political will is ready to go and the skill gap is what is holding it up is imaginary.

Surprisingly (maybe) I don't disagree with a lot of what you said.

Exhibit A: Paul McCartney, who's produced some of the most timeless music ever written, and can't read music.

However, everyone who plays on the studio session to record your composed-by-ear masterpiece for the CD will be an excellent sight reader. Guaranteed. They wouldn't have gotten the gig if they weren't.

"Staff notation" is pretty damn flexible, as you'll learn if you try to write a program to produce it as well as music publishers have done for centuries. You already said it's a way to communicate with other musicians, but I'd just add that oftentimes in popular music, that communication is just a score with a tempo and bar lines marked off, with chords and rests in the bars -- no individual notes.

Furthermore, there's immense room for interpretation: if the chord is G7#13, an experienced player will laugh and say to himself "ok, so that's just an altered seventh, and by the way, I always add a ninth to a seventh chord."
I have experienced this as well. I think this has to do with it being plugged in but NOT grounded. If you use the extender cable that has a 3 prong on it that goes away. Or just try it on battery. I also do not love that feeling, but love the trackpad.

I think this is a good step. But people not buying it and pressuring the vendor to correctly support the device is not mutually exclusive.

We must consider that it is lack of knowledge and complacency from users that incentivizes vendors to act in such an abusive way.

Sorry to sound stallman-like. I just wanted to raise attention to an important point that is mostly ignored.
Learning about it isn't hard. Assuming you are good with numbers and logics. Especially value investing.

Read a few good books. A few will do. The Intelligent Investor or books from Peter Lynch and Warren Buffet if you want to keep it short. You can ignore all the others. Have a understanding of how business in different industries works. They all have some specialities, but from a high level overview they aren't all that different. And you will soon realise 95% of the internet have no clue how business works.

And that's it. Then 99.999% of Investment is an exercise of patient and emotion. Which experience in life suggest to me is something that can not be taught. You will have to go through your own emotional rollercoaster to learn it.

Oh. Ignore all mainstream media report, much like the internet 99% of them are junk, and by the time they reach mainstream media they are already late. ( Look at Lumber pricing in the past 12 months and mainstream media on Lumber reports to get an idea )

Finally nearly all comment and opinion on investment are rubbish. Even Warren Buffett could be wrong. That is including this comment you are reading. Make your own investment path and judgement.
