Nanomachines, as the name implies, are at the nanometer scale, so generally theterm implies machines (bots) that are at most 1-2 orders of magnitude larger than 1nm. A microcontroller that measures a few centimeters is, by definition, not a nanobot (It also isn't a robot). Even a robot that measures only 1mm is still 6 orders of magnitude above nanometer scale.
The article had no structure. I had no idea about the context in general and the wording was so weird, I just couldn't follow it properly.
Heat pumps only work on their own in mild climates. Cold climates still require furnace in conjunction with the heat pump. Good luck convincing anyone in the northern United States of getting rid of their furnace or hot water heater. Spouting this sort of head-in-the-clouds, wrong information only weakens your cause.

“WHERE DO HEAT PUMPS WORK BEST?
Heat pumps are more common in milder climates, where the temperature does not typically drop below freezing. In colder regions, *they can also be combined with furnaces*for energy-efficient heating on all but the coldest days. When the temperature outside drops too low for the heat pump to operate effectively, the system will instead use the furnace to generate heat. This kind of system is often called a dual fuel system – it is very energy efficient and cost effective.”

I like this. I have used some versions of this, and suspect the full outline is only necessary when you’re encountering a subject for which you lack prior knowledge and/or have little interest going into the text.

The text which is _easiest to read_ is the subject for which you have the greatest interest. Given this insight I imagine this as a useful tool for the reader to find their interest, or to humanize the practice and find sympathy with its practitioners.

“While reading […] Highlight, mark or underline key information mentioned in the survey.”

I do not agree with defacing a text. In my experience a text unfolds to you with multiple readings. To go the nuclear option of permanent highlighter marks is to affix on the text your naive first readings.

Marginalia is much better in because they don’t interrupt the text, but live alongside.

I feel we’re nitpicking far too much for climate change in the case of at hone stoves and cooking. The pretense of climate change, and the implication of “well if you have a gas stove, you’re contributing” is going to cause more harm socially and psychologically than to the environment. At some point we have to realize that some climate effect is OK, and to live our lives. Let’s go after the big ticket items, like sea vessels or large scale fishing operations. Those are far worse than any modern car emissions.

I was responding to a sub-thread but it got deleted before I could finish. This is what I think about this:

Someone said:
>> it could be hurtful to people to attempt to archive by getting sucked into cycles of attempting to break a neurological predisposition

That's rather well put.

From the outside, some people are an abyss, permanently dominated by this type of cyclical thinking, in which getting out of the abyss creates new and interesting forms of drama. And the attraction of that gravity well to newbs who haven't e.g. been long-term alcoholics or locked up for suicidal tendencies, is precisely the fact that it gives one a temporary satisfaction (even worse, maybe, a way of lording it over others) of having addressed a particular neurotic trait, while substituting a load of other negative traits in exchange.

Nothing good ever comes out of the speech where one has repressed a particular neurosis by coming to terms with it in some crystalline fashion. It's a speech either designed to scam others, or to scam oneself.

Well the gas feeling slower to bringing things to a boil is to be expected; induction is much much much quicker at boiling things (~10 mins on gas vs ~2-3 mins using induction).

I'm not sure comparing them like this really makes sense.

National socialism is a single party ideology and that party was only in power for a few years in a single country. Just like with communism there are/were many more "benign" far right or fascist movements.

We should absolutely not be subsodisong someone who has the means to install a $3000 induction range and do $2k worth of additional work at the same time. A semi decent 4 ring induction cooktop can be had for less than £300, and it plugs straight into a wall socket with no electrical work needed. If you're removing a gas stove and making the point safe, I'd say $100 to cap the pipe at the point of the old range (based on me having that work done in my last apartment). Prices may vary with cost of living.

For people using small burners in apartments, single ring plug in induction cooktops are available for about $100 with no other work required.
Yes, the fact that heat on electric is controlled by switching on and off cycle is what prevents me from switching to it (I believe induction does the same to control the heat).
We need no fancy control or michelen rated appliance, just a basic gas stove allows us better control than electric stove.
if you have natural gas service there are probably active gas leaks in your city from the supply lines, gas is very leaky

The metaverse is money and crypto is king
I had the same experience. The thing that gets me as well is that normally with the rise of new technology you get an excitement that is tangible. Like when the internet first xame around there were emails, multiplayer games via modem, websites. A whole plethora of new wonderful experiences. So far all I've really gotten after doing a lot of research is some good projects and a long tail of terrible projects/websites and a lot of scammers.

It really feels like with the NFT backlash in the gaming world right now that crypto hasn't found its landing and it really hasn't taken off - its kind of in this weird purgatory. Im hopeful but very suspicious at this point. I wasn't suspicious of “the internet” until it was around for a long time. Crypto is past its wave of this is cool and lets build stuff phase afaik and now everyone is trying to make money off it.
I read the whole post and might have missed the part you are referencing here- can you provide a direct quote?
Here's a source that references induction stovetops specifically: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22674188/

For a more comprehensive treatment on the health and ecological consequences I'd recommend The Invisible Rainbow by Arthur Firstenberg. It discusses the topic in depth with respect to humans, insects, birds, trees, and more, across hundreds of years of history. It's very well researched; its references are 2/3 as long as the entire book.

The Body Electric by Dr. Robert Becker is another book to possibly look into. It talks about electricity from a medical perspective and talks a bit about the mechanisms by which electricity influence the body and what it can do. If nothing else, the interesting takeaway for me from this book was that he was able to induce limb regrowth in tissue using currents on the order of picoamperes (this is an unfathomably small current compared to what we interface with daily). He also notes that more or less is not necessarily worse in terms of electricity's impacts on the body, just different.

Here are some interesting highlights I've chosen from The Invisible Rainbow to give a broad sample.

There are compelling references throughout the book implicating EMFs in diabetes, heart disease, possibly cancer, and illness, to name a couple.
It’s looking there should be a reckoning, I’m not optimistic though.
Very late reply, but this is only true on a theoretical level, and not in this case.

Abbott both destroyed unsold inventory (6-7mo from expiration dates) and closed down one of their production facilities they stood up for these tests due to lack of demand over the summer.

If everyone was a "prepper" (no, I don't think having some basic $7 tests sitting in your medicine closet really reaches this point at all, this is called "being prepared" and used to be a civic duty taught to children) the production would not have stopped, and they would not have let 2500+ workers go they are now scrambling to get back.

tldr; production was there, it was ended due to lack of demand. Yes, some (many) folks are in a financial position where $14 is a large expense, but those are outliers and certainly not the folks asking if I have any tests on hand right now.
This is unecessarily pedantic
Really glad you’re enjoying it! :)
> I have an induction cooktop and my cast iron pans have been terrible. Cast iron has lousy heat conduction and induction stoves do not have even distribution.

That’s interesting, can you compare the heat distribution problem to resistive? I have a gas range now, but when I had resistive I would preheat my cast iron in the oven for nice uniform heat distribution

I think it's easier if we think about it with concrete people. How exactly would someone like El Chapo be using bitcoin for laundering activities?

Furthermore, when people bring up the laundering and crime argument, I always point out that the us dollar is by far the medium of choice for laundering money, crime, ransom, extortion, drug payments, human trafficking payments, terror financing.

We made a gas line extension for an outdoor grill during a recent remodel and are being forced to fix preexisting code violations as a result. I'm not entirely sad about this, because even though it is expensive, it will also require us to add a fresh air intake to our boiler room. Im going to take the opportunity to make the fire door more airtight as well.

My hope is that the net effect of this will be to essentially eliminate air exchange between the boiler and the rest of the house. (Note that our heat system's air exchangers are not in the same room as the boiler.) I kinda want to see what the indoor air quality is looking like before and after.

Personally, I don't intend to exchange out my gas stove for a while since as this article points out the vast majority of gas burned in the house is for heating, not cooking.
It's unknown precisely (still erupting), but it's probably not even the largest eruption in the last few months.

For a long time, Android has been the only major OS unable to resolve mDNS .local hostnames. However, it seems that this feature has been silently added very recently on Android 12.

@brentroose Have you considered either of the following?

Path A:

1. Search and find folks that you wish to follow...i think you mentioned php devs, etcx. But, look for their personal blogs, websites - not twitter.

2. When you have found the folks you might want to follow, try and follow any rss/atom feeds that they be publishing for their blogs/sites. If none, then maybe reach out to them and ask what might be a good mechanism to follow them (which ideally is not twitter).

Path B:

1. Research the Fediverse (https://fediverse.party/en/fediverse)...for platforms, communities on mastodon, pleroma, etc.

2. Once you have established your identity on the fediverse (either stood up your own instance, or joined someone else's or whatever), then look for communities focused around the topics for the people you wish to follow...and then follow them on the fediverse (no twitter-like algorithm here on the fediverse).

Finally...Path C:

You can actually pursue both of the above paths if you wish! :-)

I've used both. I like gas far more because I have better control over the temperature of what I'm making. This is pretty important when frying, boiling milk, making flat foods like dosa etc. The on-and-off method induction uses to control temperature is not ideal for this. I like induction for cooking when I need to boil or slow cook for a decent amount of time. Just set a timer and let it heat. Used an induction for 3 years and didn't regret getting a gas one instead

I'm also not a fan of using buttons and touch controls on something like this when cooking. It's distracting and cumbersome. Lowering temperature requires multiple button presses when gas just lets me turn a knob to instantly put it on low
The way I would think about it is: C++ isn't any weirder than English. As long as you are happy to accept there are things just there for weird history reasons, it's not too bad.

What measures?
The issue with induction isn’t speed, not even close. The issue relative to has is the evenness of the heat distribution over a large surface area.

Gas isn’t even remotely worth the downsides but there’s a number of dishes I can make that are easier and higher quality to do on gas, like if I’m trying to sear a large pan full of meat.
Lel 1) JVM languages can compile to ELF binaries with GraalVM 2) lifetimes are an antifeature that is not needed outside of niche performance critical purposes. Moreover in the real world it's much easier to produce slower code in low level and non gc based languages. Btw I'm pretty sure SOTA latency critical GCs such as ZGC (<0.1ms max pause time) has outperformed non-gc memory management for latency critical workloads.

Why should China reduce their emissions?

>To date, China’s size has meant that its per capita emissions have remained considerably lower than those in the developed world ..... This comes in just below average levels across the OECD bloc (10.5 tons/capita) in 2019, but still significantly lower than the US, which has the highest per capita emissions in the world at 17.6 tons/capita

Per capita emissions of USA is way higher than that of China despite China bearing the brunt of manufacturing.

> A large share of the CO2 emitted into the atmosphere each year hangs around for hundreds of years. As a result, current global warming is the result of emissions from both the recent and more distant past. Since 1750, members of the OECD bloc have emitted four times more CO2 on a cumulative basis than China

Isn't it hypocritical to have devoloped through the 19th and 20th century by polluting the atmosphere but then accuse China when it their turn to develop?
