The sun is the biggest reactor in the solar system and does not send an invoice.

All fossil power was once energy given by the sun.

Gas is only considered green when the generators can be used for hydrogen later.

The hydrogen will be produced by electrolyzers using overproduction of renewable energy.

Something that I’ve recently started doing is pomodoros of 25 minutes with 5 minute breaks. Finding discipline to just do real work is difficult if your work isn’t well specified beforehand. So I use a few tools for this:

* pen/pencil and mini wire bound notebooks. I tried using Apple notes but the phone is a source of endless distraction.

I write down goals for the day, headlined by project name. When I’m done I cross them out.

* befocusedpro app for pomodoros

It has a pretty nice way to setup pomodoro tasks and isn’t trying to be much more than a pomodoro app. My employer uses Jira and my side projects use Trello or Apple notes. It sits on the mac menu bar and beeps when both the pomodoro and break are up. During breaks sometimes I respond to text messages or take a quick walk around but you could read news too.

I write down about 5 “goals” and try to get them all done

* streaks app iOS

This is like GitHub history for habits. After every befocusedpro pomodoro I check the streak for e.g. ( employer pomodoro ) or ( side project pomodoro )

Finally, I put my phone in do not disturb pretty much the whole time I’m trying to accomplish my pomodoros and the only exceptions are my significant other and mom / sister.

That’s it!
If Von der Leyen had even a third of the power Macron or Sholtz have, that could be an issue. I'd the French/German finance minister have more power than Von der Leyen. And once upon a time, the French Finance minister was an unelected banker, who never won a single election and did not work in the political field.

How about Audi? An 2012 A7 prestige with 89k miles is 20k vs a 60k base model MSRP. 33% while better than the BMW is still well below the Tesla.

It should be 0%. Catch up to what - for what? So we can go do some drone bombing in Africa like a proper western nation? Is that the plan? I guess it's easier to give the guys with the big guns what the want, instead of actually staying true to the values of demilitarizatizing the planet.
Forgive the tangent, but this is the first time I've seen Euclid written with a "k".

In retrospect that seems like the more obvious Latinization. I wonder why Euclid is more common.
Russia says a lot, I wouldn't believe all of it to be either honest or true.

>many Chinese who have no principles and no capacity for empathy.

I disagree.

Many Chinese have no false illusions about the history of NATO provocation and belligerence. Many of their parents and relatives died defending their own country and borders from the same NATO countries. They can smell the bullshit in the prevailing western narrative about this conflict.

The fact that NATO would seriously arm Ukranian Nazis, Wahabist Terrorists, Mujahadeen, ISIS, and other dangerous groups just for the sake of destablization and a temporary upper hand in conflicts/resources-wars is not commendable and extremely immoral.

The millions of innocent civilians that die due to this immorality and lack of consideration from NATO are almost completely ignored by western audiences. Most Chinese do not ignore these civilian deaths, which is why I expect they are taking the positions they are.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s Vision for Return to Work
Correct. You can see a continuous spectrum on some bulbs, and bulbs split into three (R, G, and B) for others. It's very obvious. You can't tell a CRI of 80 from 85, but in my experience, it doesn't matter very much.

You're correct that the alternatives now are a kind of roulette. A new company would add one more bullet (or empty chamber) into the barrel. There is no way for a customer to know "Company X solves this problem correctly." If you run LightBulbX and do everything right, and I run LumiNosiTechNo and have the same marketing pages as you, people won't know better.

If reputation builds up somehow, LightBulbX is just as liable to get bought up by an investor who milks that reputation by selling $2 products for $1000.

A value proposition isn't the same as a viable business model. I think there's a clear value proposition which many people would in abstract pay for in an abstract world of perfect transparency and information, but we're not in that world. I don't think there's a viable business model.

I don't know that "hijack" is the right term here. Skepticism is very warranted. Whatever you think about Wikileaks' mission, their independence, transparency, etc... they have absolutely been used as an asset by Russian intelligence in the past. I think looking very suspiciously at anything they have to say about a conflict involving Russia is just normal prudence.

So much so, in fact, that I've actually seen the contra-conspiracy asserted: Russia made Assange/Wikileaks push this app precisely to drive Ukranians users away from it and into the arms of something else to which they presumably have more visibility.
The day after the invasion, I was flabbergasted by how much people don’t give a sht. My Twitter feed was (and still is) people announcing their new ventures, doing their usual marketing, posting their vacay pics etc. Social media destroyed humanity. I deleted my Reddit after 14 years after I saw pics of burned bodies from Ukraine on a random SFW sub with folks making fun of people dying. Fuk this war and all who think it’s not their business.

I think it's too early to know how it will play out. In the past, non-Tesla EVs have all been compliance cars. The more recent batch of competitive EVs that go toe-to-toe with Tesla on features and performance probably won't depreciate anywhere near as fast as a Leaf.
It has a pressurized gas tank. The way I found out about the Pacifica plug-in was when I rented a conventional one, and noticed that it also has a pressurized gas tank.

I usually do a 180 mile round trip once a month in mine, so I don't need to worry about bad gas.

When I lived in Seattle, my solution was a 2’ square fluorescent panel I got from a gardening supply place called “The Indoor Sun Shop”. I grew up in the South and got real bad seasonal depression up there; it probably saved my life. I paid all of $300 for it. Plus like twenty bucks for a mechanical timer, because I discovered that there were a lot of mornings where I was too depressed and mopey to turn it on myself. I kept it in the home office I worked in and it did a lot to shut up that little voice that suggested killing myself as the solution to every problem.

That was just a coup of Merkel to take the wind out of the Green party's traditional topic in the wake of the Fukushima accident. She applied that tactic to other topics as well - assuming the PoV of your political opponent to weaken their case. To the point that it was unclear if there are any political ambitions left in her CDU party, other than to stay at power under all circumstances.

Now yesterday Robert Habeck, Germany's minister for economic affairs and climate, and vice chancellor, claimed that a return to nuclear and/or coal is economically not viable, even if it were politically feasible (which it is not, since it would be political suicide given he's from the Green party). He's not stupid, so he knows he'll have to answer how in hell people will even heat their homes come next winter. Not only are energy prices up, but so are materials for home insulation (if you can get them at all) and prices for construction.

Right now, the government has plans to penalize landlords renting out homes with low energy efficiency, a plan typical of the SPD party, the Green party's coalition partner. Which won't work, though, because there simply is no way to reach those levels of energy efficiency given the demand in the construction industry, and in a way that decouples the consumer from their consumption, not to speak of constitutional (existing case law) concerns.

Meanwhile, the housing market is as insane as everywhere due to rampant public spending and the decrease in interest that goes with it. Adding ever more energy efficiency requirements means that it's objectively impossible for any average person to own a home.
Is that price with or without a rootkit?
Does anybody know why the range of a Tesla, such as the Model 3, is not increasing every year? I would expect more advances in battery capacity.

I look forward to the day when renewables provide >90% of our energy, and old men on the Internet are still bloviating that it can't be done. As for me, I'm looking at pallets of solar panels on eBay to expand our PV system.
Moreover, this is a much better way to monitor the border than to build and maintain walls. These dogs and the drones are largely out of site. I do envision one kind of gun being put on these drones: a flare gun. This provides migrants with the information they've been spotted and provides them the opportunity to go back. You can also imagine text-to-speech speakers being mounted on the dogs capable of translating to Spanish.

I can also see these dogs being used for rescue - capable of bringing badly-needed food and water. We needn't loose sight that these are human beings, regardless of their legal status.

> The past week will have a lot of Germans revising many silly opinions they were originally able to afford but not anymore

Honestly, as a German myself I'm rather doubtful of that unfortunately. Some? Maybe. Many? Probably not. I cannot even convince my parents (who grew up in Germany during the time when the anti nuclear sentiment really started) to rethink their anti nuclear stance (despite having a great relationship with them). I say that as a physicist that absolutely sees there are flaws with aging nuclear plants.

But people who are not able to a) appreciate the energy density of nuclear and b) see that climate change is an urgent problem we face, whereas any issues from nuclear waste are long term problems (not even talking about future reactor technologies etc. etc.) is just... I don't know? It sounds insane, but indoctrinated? I just utterly fail to understand.

I mean, what's the point of a "nuclear waste free Earth" if our civilization collapses due to climate change?

They're already cheaper, so I think it's primarily range anxiety that holds up most people from making the switch. Once you get comfortable with how the EV works and trust that it isn't lying about range, it's an easy choice. Especially so for anyone who keeps their cars a good long time.
Expect a ramp up in security disruptions globally as a result of the Russia's war on Ukraine.

HPKE allows you to use private/public keypairs that are signed by a trusted authority, therefore enabling two parties that have never met prior to securely communicate. That is, as long as they trust the same authority.

Another major benefit of HPKE is a shared key schedule. Two parties can generate as many symmetric keys as they would like over a persistent conversation. This kind of provides ‘sub keys’, but within the context of a conversation, as they are not long lived.

GPG’s web of trust model is powerful but is limited in contexts where you have no prior trust. The world’s existing PKI structure, with a handful of root CAs, is already well established and trusted by nearly every device on the planet.
This is a chicken-and-egg scenario: gas is available so few switch to heat pumps; few switch to heat pumps because gas is so readily available. The goal over time should be to move infrastructure away from gas and towards electric, and part of that is improving the power-generation system. Don't think only about today; think about where things should be moving tomorrow. "Thinking only about today" is part of the reason Germany is still dependent on Russian gas and oil.
The LessWrong community is known for self-citations all over the place and heavy use of jargon created by themselves, and words redefined as terms-of-art. In light of this, if a member claims that one of their prominent figures "invented" something, you better take the claim at face value.
France has 50 plants? They need to go headfirst into modular reactors.

Usually I would say that nuclear research and development dollars are wasted: they just displace purchasing solar/wind/storage. But with that big of an extant installed base, with approved/regulated sites and various other infrastructure, they may be the only country that can save money staying nuclear.

Of course, being a LFTR stan I would push for mass manufactured LFTRs the size of a couple shipping containers that can be decommissioned on a regular basis. 50 big nuclear plants replaced with about 1000 or more shipping container sized reactors on a replacement schedule.

LFTR would reduce waste, and separation of other fission products could be done elsewhere.

WHat is the French resistance to LFTR? I know that the US has strange bureaucratic resistances to LFTR built into academic funding and their regulatory agencies as an artifact of the ORNL reactor vs PWR reactor politics from the 1950s.

If France just piggybacking on the solid fuel rod reprocessing industry of the US and its same resistance to new reactor designs?
You're right, that could (and probably is) part of the peace negotiations.
>And I’ll ask you how in the world a visitor to my website is supposed to know or care whether my site is hosted in the US or EU. I’m not even 100% sure myself.

Pretty sure we'll see indicators for that in browsers in the foreseeable future. The internet will be a much more zoned-space in the future, so much seems obvious.

Regardless of whether Briar was removed by accident or not, I wish the "app store" was separate from google/alphabet. Managed, controlled and run by and independent group. Or that we'd develop a more independent installation culture via apks like we used to do for desktops. 99% of smartphone users are entirely dependent on app stores which are controlled by two multinational companies. It's insane. I'd much rather prefer every nation maintained their own app stores rather than apple and google control it for the whole world. Would be nice if an open source alternative would gain popularity but I'm guessing it's even less likely on a smartphone than on the desktop.
What was the idea? I honestly have no clue what it's saying, I don't know who the Chinese engineer leaders are, what the idea is, and why it somehow failed? I'm just completely lost.
Not to be repetitive, but- let's say your website has visitors from Thailand, and you do something to defame their monarch. Are you in compliance with Thai law? What if you have Chinese visitors, are you subject to Chinese law? What if the Central African Republic passes some completely out-there law and you have CAE visitors- do you feel like you need to comply with the laws of the Central African Republic? If not, why not?

Let's just think this out- seeing as your visitors can come from any of the 300+ countries on Earth, you are saying that by hosting a website, you must simultaneously comply with the Internet laws of every country on the planet. Please just consider how ridiculous that is for a moment

Are nuclear weapons or Rogue AI the more dangerous risk?
> I'm a supporter of nuclear, but this trope is overplayed. This winter Germany derived 5-10% of their electricity from natural gas - and even that is mostly due to cogeneration of heating, not for electricity needs. This cogeneration runs even if renewables provide a surplus. Calling Germany's electricity grid is "reliant on Russian gas" doesn't reflect reality

Do they have the grid capacity to support people using more electric space heaters and less gas for heat?

My home uses gas heat. I suppose if there was some kind gas shortage I have to turn the thermostat down to the minimum needed to keep the pipes from freezing, then use space heaters to bring in-use rooms up to a livable temp.

FYI, the war in Ukraine has been ongoing since 2014. You care more about the current developments because the media you follow care more about it. Unless you live in the region, there is nothing you can do about it and it is unlikely to have any effect on your day-to-day life, so turn off the news and focus on things you actually have leverage on.

Me? I never cared about that war and I still don't, just like I don't care about any of the currently ongoing wars (Yemen, Syria, whatever). Not following the news makes life generally less unpleasant.
> the certificate authorities that would issue these certificates would be decided by the EU member states, and browsers would be forced to accept those

It's not a question of trusting the EU, but of user autonomy. Even if the EU were 100% trustworthy, that shouldn't let it force users which certificates they trust.

If I phone a friend, but his voice sounds off, and his manner of speech unusual, so that I suspect he's being impersonated - what business does any government have telling me that I must trust it is indeed my friend on the line?

If you're looking to increase component life you definitely don't want to forgo the backplane; heatsinking is absolutely critical for high brightness LED longevity. There is too much heat being put out by that tiny chip for convective cooling to be of any use without spreading it out first. The problem is, unless they are specifically marketed as such, those LED strips usually do not have any thermal management, meaning that heat is not being transferred through the strip board into your backplane.

Unless you're well-versed in PCB thermal management design, I wouldn't attempt designing your own LED boards - get prefab units like those sold by https://www.ledsupply.com/ , which you can screw directly onto a heatsink. And if you really do want to design a custom board, the emitters LEDSupply packages are a good place to start--there are only a handful of manufacturers for high-quality high-brightness diodes and they pretty much stock them all. You can find Cree XLamp LEDs for example at any of the major component retailers.

I know an Estonia company, remote Ukrainians of 4, all away now fighting for their country but they do their best to cover their workload and hope they can return soon.

Obviously still paying their wages as long as its possible, an economical hit for the startup but that's the best they can do to help them fight the occupants. Estonian team working more to make it up and the moral is high since their Ukrainians remind them how much worse it can get.
