Things that are inevitably built and require lots of power and/or cooling and/or heating are prime for this surplus. Things like Data Centers (which many have already been built from my understanding), manufacturing plants, scientific research, etc.

Or work on ways to "package" the produced energy and export it to other nations efficiently.

Regardless, this DAC is consuming lots of energy and producing very little (if any, likely no) benefit at all, and in the process of merely being brought into existence releases a lot of emissions. It would quite literally be better to not even build it in the first place it seems... given the lofty-but-insignificant numbers the article provides.

So in that one, with the hand motions and the emphasis on "thread" and "well lit" and the motion across (where the Christmas lights connected the two lamps) they were implying that a thread was hanging from the Christmas lights. But since he said he "tried that" and he had to come up with something else, I assume it's some sort of front facing edifice that allowed him to circle the whole thing with a pencil (at about 85% depth) to sell it. Maybe he technically fooled them since the Christmas lights had nothing to do with it and it was something between the two lamp arms themselves.
Its funny, because I cannot stand the style of discussion that comes from hivemind upvoting and reordering of comments by vote count, ala reddit.

They went from 4 to 5 decoders. Rather than 1-2 complex decoder and a few that only work on simple instructions, every decoder can now decode everything, I-cache handles fusion.

This all happens with a 75% reduction in decoder size due to dropping more complex 32-bit encoding. As the decoder is always on to feed the speculative execution, this is undoubtedly a substantial decrease in power consumption.

x86 decoder is 8-10% of the total die area. If they could reduce that to 2%, that would represent 6-8% smaller core size and at least 6-8% reduction in power consumption (likely more as other areas will stay power-gated much more of the time).

This is a more general point. X2 in the Qualcomm 8cx gen 3 beats Zen 1 desktop chips and is rather close to Zen 2 U-series chips in single and multicore geekbench scores. It uses 7-10w peak while those U-series use 30-50w peak which is why despite so much battery being used for stuff like wifi and the screen, thin and light laptops with the 8cx have generally gotten 2x the battery life.

I wonder how many of these ARMv8/9 chips will have to beat x86 in all these metrics before people will finally be convinced that ISA really does matter (or both AMD and Intel are utterly incompetent). Maybe it will take Intel finally releasing a RISC-V chip to change minds.

> There is no gain, utility, worthwhile accomplishment for humans in space except for just a few humans in low earth orbit.

Hard disagree. Current space science, as phenomenal as it is, currently faces rather severe limitations due to the need to deal with latencies between experiments v. scientists on the order of anywhere from multiple seconds to multiple hours, not to mention the bandwidth limitations. Having actual human scientists in close proximity to those experiments would be a massive boon, slashing turnaround times and multiplying output.

Further, Earth can only support us for so long. We need to figure out how to survive beyond it, or else we'll die with it - and I can think of no greater embarassment as a species than not bothering to even try to expand beyond our single planet.

Unfortunately, the US is not Europe. There are already millions of guns in circulation, and a relatively porous border to the south through which enormous volumes of smuggling routinely take place. Even if you were able to muster support for a blanket ban on firearms, you would need to propose a credible means through which to recover the guns in circulation and prevent their replacement through illegal traffic.

It would behoove your analysis to consider American gun legislation through this lens. It might even prompt an original thought.

Most places have a variety of animals such as rabbits and mice and rats in sufficient numbers that a few getting eaten by the rare escaped domestic ferrets won't impact the population of those animals.

Pet ferrets usually don't last long if they escape and almost always are fixed so they cannot breed. They aren't likely to spread very far from where they escaped, and so the wild animals they might kill are going to almost all be the kind of animals that thrive around humans.

Allowing ferrets might even be a net positive for the local native species, because some people who would have gotten a cat might instead choose a ferret, and an escaped ferret would likely do much less damage than an escaped cat (and that's not even taking into account that many people regularly let their cats roam free outside, which I don't think many ferret owners do).
I agree with your evaluation of CrossFit, bad boxes and injury risk, but one thing CrossFit does well is keeping you motivated due to the group setting. I no longer do CrossFit now, but it was the first program I successfully managed to stick with due to the social aspects. Whenever I tried going to the gym by myself previously I would lose motivation after a few months. I think many people who want to start working out have the same experience.

That's why I would still recommend CrossFit especially to beginners - the program that works for you is the one you can stick with. After you've built a habit of working out and lifting weights it's much easier to create your own program and stick with that.

That's even more true about space. If you're fine with bodies in the ocean, then you should be even more fine with bodies in the literal infinity that is outer space.

(And no, bodies on the ocean floor don't decompose, at least not fully; the cold suppresses a lot of the decomposition processes, and the deeper you go, the fewer the scavengers to pick meat off your bones - bones which themselves have a tendency to stick around for a very long time.)

Right, so your sources for this is a few Twitter posts. Let's take a look.

The first one is a supposed quote from Al Gore, but he never said that. Even if he did, Al Gore getting something wrong would hardly disprove anything about climate science.

> Those who scrutinize climate change are punished by the society

You're parroting untrue claims. How about some self-awareness?
That doesn't sound quite right to me. The worst CPU bottlenecks I recall for consumer routers running OpenWRT were mostly when doing traffic shaping (to compensate for bufferbloat in ISP equipment), not a complete inability to forward traffic fast enough. And when line speed really wasn't achievable with software routing, the hardware deficiency that mattered most was probably memory bandwidth rather than CPU core performance.

The kind of offload most prevalent on consumer routers is NAT performed by the Ethernet switch ASIC, which I don't think can be fairly described as an even smaller CPU running a proprietary network stack—you might have a microcontroller-class CPU core in the switch chip, but there's a separation of control and data planes.

> Geothermal energy is not infinitely scalable.

The tech is supposed to be used (at scale) once we exhausted the low-hanging fruit of closing (replacing) gas plants and the like. Once we have days with excess sunlight and wind, for example, this can be used anywhere. And I like that they're using renewable energy during this R&D phase, because indeed it doesn't matter if you remove the CO2 next to a USA freeway or in remote Iceland place that sounds like hell (hellisheiði, "ð" as "th") but has excess electricity and heat and suitable rock.

> And I have serious doubts about CO2 emissions of this thing!

For the previous plant, some third party (iirc KPMG, obviously paid by Climeworks so there's a conflict of interest) says it's 90% efficient, meaning that the associated emissions are about 10% of what it captures.

But since Climeworks only published the claim and not the report, I don't know if that includes construction, or if they picked a nice number that only considers plant operation. And construction might have included a lot of R&D, so then it wouldn't really be a fair comparison because building more of the same would not require those R&D-related emissions.

For what it's worth, I'm optimistic given this 90% claim. Even if you apply the marketing department discount and reality might be 75%, it's still a whole lot better than nothing.
Back in the 80s, a book was passed around the office that listed Japanese swear words and insults. Their take on insults was very creative and funny. Naturally, we all used them on each other, until management finally stepped in to put a stop to it. I've looked for the book since, but cannot find it.

On an unrelated note, when I was working on the C++ compiler back then, Zortech C++ had the option of presenting error messages in Japanese. There weren't many obvious Japanese translations for technical terms. C++ "destructors" in Japanese turned into "death tractors".

Sometimes I still get caught referring to destructors as death tractors.

This is the consequence of elegance. Elegance at one level usually is characterized by being very data-agnostic, very workflow-agnostic, etc. This leads to anything built on top of it to be so generic its unusable or at least very awkward.

Portainer – What's new in version 2.14
> 7 Trillion tons of air per year

Thanks for running these numbers. I have a few more calculations to add which support what you're saying.

Let's consider a fairly standard industrial air compressor[0] which has a rating of "CFM at 90 PSI: 18.1". This means 18.1 cubic feet of air per minute. A cubic foot of air "weighs approximately 0.0807 lbs" according to an expert answer on PhysLink[1]. Using `units`, then:

You have: 18.1 * 0.0807 lbs / minute
You want: tonnes / year
* 348.46671

So 7 trillion tonnes would require about 20 billion times more air movement than one of these compressors.

Ripcord is great and I use it for Discord and Slack, but it is far from feature complete. Important to note that Ripcord is developed by one person. Some major things that are lacking:

* No search (Slack/Discord)

* No huddles in Slack

* Thread support in Discord

For these reasons, I typically navigate to Discord/Slack in the browser when I need access to those features. Not ideal, but the snappiness of Ripcord over the slow bloat of Slack/Discord make it worth it to me.
Even in C-land, you're technically not supposed to fabricate arbitrary heap pointers, you're supposed to offset something you get from malloc(). The Standard says (if memory serves) that only pointers from the beginning of a malloc() to 1-past-the-end have defined behavior (when it comes to the heap).

Of course, there are probably lots of in-practice exceptions when it comes to embedded, kernel code, mmap() shenanigans, etc.
"The schools" - which school levels do your kids attend, that this is a concern?
Shouldn't the comparison be carbon removed by this per unit energy used vs carbon produced by hydrocarbon powered power plant per unit energy created? E.g doing the math with some looked up data, this removes 1 ton of carbon per 2.5MWH. One ton of coal generates 8.1MWH. One ton of goal generates 2.4 tons of CO2, So it my math is correct (please verify), this already runs at an efficiency ratio of (8.1 (MWH) / 2.4 (tons CO2) / 2.5 (MWH / tons CO2) ) = 1.35, which being larger than 1 already, means that hypothetically you could power this via a coal plant and have a system that is net carbon negative and/or has some extra power remaining? Obviously we shouldn't do that, but to me the energy efficiency here is pretty impressive.
Renewables offer less scope for fully-legal corruption. Nukes still lead, there. SMRs might leave less scope for it, and if so can be counted on to gain little traction.
Git wasn't really winning until GitHub emerged. The game was still open at that point. Once GH had resoundingly beat the competition for "social coding" (like bitbucket and sourceforge), though, it was all over.

The big issue is that counter arguments to climate change typically tend to be used as a justification for inaction, as flawed as that reasoning is. We're already at well over three decades of climate inaction.
I find $/ton to be confusing. $100 / ton is $1 / gallon of gasoline equivalent, and is probably feasible with some current technologies, assuming economies of scale.

A $1/gallon tax on gasoline is rounding error compared to all the other disasters hitting these days.
