> Climeworks was launched by Jan Wurzbacher and Christoph Gebald in 2009 out of ETH Zürich, the main technical university in Switzerland. Since then, Wurzbacher told CNBC, DAC technology has improved by leaps and bounds. “We started with milligrams of carbon dioxide captured from the air,” he said. “Then we went from milligrams to grams, from grams to kilograms to tons to 1,000 tons.” That sort of leveling up over the course of 13 years is no small feat.

> To meet its future goals, though, the company will have its work cut out for it; they’re aiming to remove millions of tons of CO2 per year by 2030 and a billion per year by 2050.

It's a startup and growth is the name of the game
Very nice, and well done on building an active community around it. I like the integration with the cached data, makes it feel like a build system :)

We were unaware of ploomber until now, but have been building meadowrun https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31694827 and share many goals with you. So obviously I think this is solving a real problem.

All the best with the cloud launch!
i'm not sure why people keep thinking that there is a hard limit to number of bitcoins that can be mined when the network can be updated to allow more coins to be mined.
you're right, they weren't worthless. The lockdowns & mask mandates were extremely harmful.

More harm came from/ will come from the economic harships, seclusion, loss of status, community & immunity than covid ever posed.

Global warming is the primary, if not the only, reason for an expensive transition to renewables. If global warming is stopped/reversed then there is no reason to not to burn more oil, is there? I don't like it, but I won't argue against fossil fuels with abstract moral reasons.
I imagine we're going to need a number of different technologies in order to make a real dent? What about biochar? That seems like an obvious choice, too. Easy, can make syngas, makes its own energy, enriches soil, etc. No panaceas, but we're going to need a lot more than one magic bullet.
Yes, but the point is that you need to start somewhere.

And 36kt CO2 captured /year means over 2 million euros in tradable emissions each year, at current ETS prices of 60+ euros per metric ton CO2 emissions.

Well that speaks well of Monero, perhaps that is exceptional, apparently not...

I was wrong in discarding them. I would, in addition to apologizing, salvage my claim in the following terms: bitcoin is the gold standard, the first and foremost, just as every metal is unique and gold is gold and nothing else identical. But there can also be silver, and platinum, and rhenium, and ruthenium, and rhodium, and copper, and many others. Bitcoin was the first, and is unique, but is not the last.
And yet Europe is more or less dependent on the US for defense. That’s probably the bigger lever.

Solar has a LCOE of $29-32. Nuclear has an LCOE of $129-$198.

The US is adding 30GW of renewables in 2022 alone. It's expected to add over 50GW in 2023.

The 2.3GW of nuclear at Vogtle 3 & 4 cost $28.5B. The first permit was applied for in 2006 and if it is lucky it will go online in 2023.
I think that the plague of speculative execution bugs qualify as a single error in virtual memory systems that cause complete system compromise. This was not a logic error in code, but a flaw in the hardware. It isn't clear to me if CHERI would have been immune to speculative execution problems, but access issues would likely have shown up if the memory ownership tests were in the wrong place.

I have been following CHERI. I note that in order to create the first FPGA implementation they had to first define the HDL for a virtual memory system -- all of the research "processor" models that were available did not have working / complete VM implementations. CHERI doesn't replace VM, it is in addition to having VM.

I've found that memory bugs (including virtual memory ones) are difficult to debug, because the error is almost never in the place where the failures show up and there is no easy way to track back who ought to own the object or how long ago the error happened. CHERI can help with this by at least being able to identify the owner.

Virtual memory systems are usually pretty complex. Take a look at the list of issues for the design of L3 <https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2007/lec/l3.html>. The largest section there is for creating address spaces. For the Linux kernel, in this diagram a lot of the MM code is colored green <https://i.stack.imgur.com/1dyzH.png>, it is a significant portion. More code means more bugs and much harder to formally verify.

I am not convinced by the argument that it is possible to take a fine grained system and trivially expand it to a coarse grained system. How is shared memory handled, mmap'ed dylibs, page level copy-on-write?
Does the same criticism apply equally to GitHub’s pull requests? I feel like they are essentially the same thing layered on top of a repo, gitlab even supports merge requests across forks.
Software is paid that way, but companies collect the residuals, not individuals. That is the pricing model of SaaS. Feel free to start your own and collect - the viability of doing so is exactly why many people are interested in software to begin with.

But you also might want to look at how "art" is truly compensated. You chose writers, but look at painters. They do not collect money as their works as re-sold over time. They get a one-time fee as they sell it to the first buyer. Again, there are parallels in software: Write an app, sell it to a company, and move on.

I don't want to discourage you from trying to achieve something new. Just be aware that we are not as far off of the business of making money from art as you might think.

"Cost of carbon" -- yes, one scenario is that society dumps a few billion dollars into carbon removal technologies only to learn "oh shit this stuff is realllllllly expensive to pull out later...let's decarbonize overnight". Pretty sure all of us air miners would take that as a win.

edit: I've also seen a similar argument made for developing geoengineering solutions. Being willing to dump chemicals into the upper atmosphere to reflect sunlight makes a lot of people think "oh shit they're really serious about this climate change stuff arent' they", and then the outcome of "we should take this more seriously".
I do. Because if it isnt thuis continent sized government over which I have soms control, it'll be another continent government, over which is have zero control.

I am from a small country, and I think this bring a perspective of inherent relatedness that people from larger countries lack. Control can't be binary, nor should it be. We're together with many others.

We've never been more in control of ourselves than we are right now.

Does anyone else remember a joke/malware DOS program that circulated on BBS's in the very early 1990's that promised 98% compression of any file?

It just shortened the size in the FAT table (or similar gimmick that would result in data loss as you wrote new data to the disk)...
would be interesting to see how the actual call stack is implemented. they must either have a fixed width object as you mention or some kind of linear chaining like you're describing.

found this on wikipedia: https://resources.sei.cmu.edu/asset_files/TechnicalReport/19...

memory and disk are unified into one address space, code is represented by this "diana" structure which can be compressed text, text, ast or machine code. would be curious how procedures are represented in machine code.

what a fascinating machine!
That's correct, but it has to come from top-down. It is unlikely you'll make any change from the bottom (especially as that change would negatively impact your superior who is also playing this game), so you're better off playing the game too.
It makes sense to apply some throttling (and reduce CPU priority) for inactive tabs.

But the active tab when browser window is an active one should work without any throttling for lower response time.

Camera operators and lighting people probably are just paid by the hour. I'm not an expert, so I'm going by what I've heard left and right from industry people.

But, anyone who writes a script, acts in the movie (and is not an extra somewhere in the background), works on the sound effects or composes the music, very likely walks home with a rev share, and possible also with a chunk of money up front.

Another data point - someone recently told me they got 120K up front for a few minutes of singing in a commercial which airs on TV.
How would you address recursive functions this way?
Yup, all the same techniques we used (minus Docker but with the addition of disabling Intel Turbo Boost and hyper threading).

A few years ago I met with a cloud computing company who was following similar techniques to reduce the noisy neighbor problem and increase performance consistency.

Frankly, it’s good to see that there still are bare metal performance specialists out there doing their thing.
> I see the only path where both free speech and security needs are maintained as some kind of genuinely distributed social network with no central control facilities.

You need some central control, otherwise the malicious take over. There are all sorts of malicious behavior that need to be dealt with: spammers, libelers, disinformation spreaders, hackers. You can't expect to offload the responsibility of neutralizing all of that to the users. (We already do enough of that with our centralized networks) The only thing users seem to be able to do is identify out-groups and segment themselves into echo chambers.

I'm not thinking of you specifically when I say that I don't understand the fetishization of lawlessness among the tech crowd. You see that with anonymity too: perfectly anonymous systems also give the attackers an advantage. You can go too far in the other direction too though. Nobody wants some bureaucrat approving everything and giving advantage to the well-connected or persecuting based on the opinions expressed.

I just wish more thought went into thinking of what rules we actually want than continuously rediscovering why we had rules in the first place.

This is very shallow analysis. It looks at the average price paid across all electric vehicles. It would make more sense to look at the price trend within a given category. They even undermine their own narrative:

> is there an example of machine code that doesn't make use of a linear contiguous call stack?

Early CPUs didn’t have support for a stack, and some early languages such as COBOL and Fortran didn’t need one. They didn’t allow recursive function calls, so return addresses could be stored at fixed addresses, and a return could either be an indirect jump reading from that address or a direct jump whose target address got modified when writing to that fixed address (see https://people.cs.clemson.edu/~mark/subroutines.html for the history of subroutine calls)

Both go (https://blog.cloudflare.com/how-stacks-are-handled-in-go) and rust (https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/rust-dev/2013-November/00...) initially had split stacks (https://releases.llvm.org/3.0/docs/SegmentedStacks.html, https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SplitStacks)
1) Git's vocabulary is bizarre.

2) Every tutorial and book leans into the horrible vocabulary, and the metaphors they use to "simplify" and "explain" it only make it worse. All of the analogical baggage is far more complicated than a straightforward description of the data structures.

It took an embarrassingly long time for me to understand that HEAD was just a pointer at the branch or commit you were currently working with (I wish somebody would take that "detached HEAD" terminology out back and shoot it), and that a branch was just a tag that, if HEAD is pointing at it, will move to point to a new commit that you make.

That's because "HEAD" and "branch" are stolen terms crowbarred into something quite different than CVS.

edit: the actual Git book from git-scm.com is not bad at all, but most people aren't learning from that.

Painters might create "litographs" or reproductions or whatever they are called, of major works and keep selling them. Or they turn works into NFTs or whatever. There are various ways to turns works into recurring revenue.
For gas engines, but this is about diesel which have very different properties.

Even when talking about gas engines, if you are towing (this is about diesel where towing is more likely than normal) your turbo is running all the time anyway and there is no savings over a bigger turboless engine, and the bigger engine will last longer. The bigger engine can also run at lower rpms which brings up power. In the end for a lightly loaded gas engine a small turbo is more efficient.
True about gambling in general, but OP's comment was that the "game" itself was dishonest, according to its own rules.

But what’s the precise rule defining what constitutes the commits of a branch, after you reach a merge point? Does the branch end there? If not, which parent of the merge does it go? It’s not clear a priori.
The Mill model is kind of cool, but today, many peripherals (including GPUs and NICs) have the ability to dump bytes straight into L3 cache. This improves latency in a lot of tasks, including the server-side ones that the Mill is designed for. This is possible due to the fact that MMUs are above the L3 cache.

Honestly, I'm happy waiting for 4k pages to die and be replaced by huge pages. Page tables were added to the x86 architecture in 1985, when 1MB of memory was a ton of memory to have. Having 256 pages worth of memory in your computer was weird and exotic. Fast forward to today, and the average user has several GB of memory - mainstream computers can be expanded to over 128 GB today - and we still mainly use 4k pages. That is the problem here. If we could swap to 2M pages in most applications, we would be able to reduce page table sizes by a factor of 512, and they would still be a lot larger than page tables when virtual memory was invented. And we wouldn't waste much memory!

But no, 4k pages for backwards compatibility. 4k pages forever. And while we're at it, let's add features to Linux (like TCP zero copy) that rely on having 4k pages.

also, even if those older http sites get a certificate, any embedded scripts that point at http URLs, even if those URLs are also available on https, will not load and break. Especially hard to fix if you have user generated HTML on there.

anything that used cookies on embedded resources will also be broken because of the missing samesite header (same for third party cookies obviously)

if google really goes through with removing alert/prompt/etc from their browser like they said they were planning to a while back, so so many things will break
> Again, that's your opinion that it's unreasonable.

First of all, I specifically started off my original post saying that everything that followed is my subjective, personal opinion and experiences. What exactly did you expect trying to argue with me about it?

> Netherlands minimum wage is 10.14 EUR/h [2] while CA minimum wage is $14-15/h [3]. And in practice, the wages for low skill workers in CA

So we're cherry-picking US states and EU countries now instead of going by averages?

> > No. He will statistically die sooner, receive some of the worst healthcare in the entire world, live in the midst of poverty and crime, etc etc etc.

> You are trying to make inferences about a high earner from statistics about the median. That's egregiously incorrect.

Higher earners are still almost equally affected by any of the issues above, as are you. My statement stands.

> Again, that's your opinion that it's unreasonable. As long as skilled workers continue to migrate from EU to the US due to the higher wages, your opinion is irrelevant. And if you take a look at the makeup of any top ranked master's or PhD program today in STEM or business in the US, you will see that it is 30% European, 30% Chinese, 30% Indian. So I think the market does not really care about your opinion.

.. so? We also have a lot of US citizens living here and our universities are filled with expats from all over the world.

Also, BTW.. these students you mention will mostly be left with horrendous, crippling student debt.

Ours will have 0 in student debt because all education is free, so people are also studying for longer periods of time, maybe even your doctor.

> These things are caused by a failure to build housing and prosecute petty theft, not by high wages.

Not by high wages, by disproportionally high or low wages. There is enough housing in the US already. There is just simply no way to afford it for anyone but high-skill workers because of this. Combine that with the absolute lack of social housing or regulation and poverty and you arrive at exactly the inevitable rise of homelessness and crime that you think needs to be cracked down upon instead of fixed at its root.

> Again, that's not supported by the data [1].

I cannot see any of your data taking into account other expenses and correlations to expenses that the US population is affected by and EU citizens are not. Obviously the tax rate on paper is lower, but that wasn't my point to begin with.

Let's just leave it at that. You have your opinion, I have my opinion, end results matter and statistics are speaking loud and clearly.

The main issue is not who owned it, but the fact a pll (or similar) was needed to create a local clock locked to dqs, but dqs from the sender would dissappear for an unknown number of cycles depending on the rx vs TX schedule. So that local pll could drift and would need to be re locked once dqs from the sender was presented again
(edit: oops was wrong here, updating my comment)

This is addressed in the article: "Or would the geothermally-generated electricity go to better use powering electric cars?"

There's no such thing as waste heat really. In the short term you can argue that limited units of energy are better used towards carbon neutrality, things like powering electric cars. Ultimately, we need removal tech, and we need to make it energy efficient, fast. Putting money and energy into carbon removal systems needs to be looked at as an investment for it to make sense. Powering an electric car gets you to go a mile, powering a DAC system lets you remove a little carbon and is an investment in developing more efficient systems too.
I've coded in plain text editors all the way to full blown IDEs, and you're partially right, it's not the tooling that sets IDEs apart, but the seamless integration between several useful tools.

I like small editors for small jobs, but I wouldn't dream of doing a new business application without an IDE these days. With sed a simple search and replace would need to be manually checked for unintended effects, but an IDE will do it without problems in seconds, unless you go out of your way to confuse it.
