I did not say crushed rock is the solution. I just used it as an example that solution may not require us to supply the amount energy from the grid that we would normally get from emitting the CO2 in the first place.

Also, I think you are just flat wrong about how unprecedented this operation would be. Digging oil and coal from under the sea or thousands of meters below ground is certainly more difficult than crushing rock that is readily available on the surface basically everywhere.

I think the bigger issue is figuring out what to do with that crushed rock so that it has contact with air so that it can actually perform the reactions we want (this might not be solvable).

We can use crushed rock to some extent. For example, I use powdered basalt in my garden. It improves the soil and provides nutrients over long periods of time. But I think we would quickly run out of agricultural soil to fertilise this way.

That's why the FDA approves chemotherapies for cancer. Safety is always relative to the condition being treated.

> If I'm reading this correctly, the author is describing a model of superdeterminism — although it's not clear where fractal geometry comes into play.

My (limited) understanding was that the fractal geometry was part of the hidden variable system which is limiting the possible universes. The idea being that if a potential universe needs to correspond to a point in a fractal, then making a small change (via a counterfactual) could easily result in a universe which is not a point in the fractal.
You know, there are programmers that don't code only as their job, or don't even have a (programming) job.

Why would that be a problem? What is such a Long Tail costing us? It's not like there is scarcity like a libraries' bookshelves or pages in a journal.

And what would be the line of bloatedness? Maybe it already is way too bloated, and a wikipedia 10% the current size is better?

I love Unix pipes and I love the immense computational power you can achieve through streaming pipelines. You hear stories of people processing terabytes of data faster and cheaper than a distributed cloud solution, by the virtue of Unix pies[1].

But I don’t really see them in any other environment. I can’t think of anything that uses something similar except for big, distributed data processing pipelines like Apache Beam.

Where’s the Python with streaming pipelines?

Concepts aren't just "learned" by reading about it. True learning requires internalization. Internalization requires practice. Practice requires the concepts to be applied. Application requires real world tools. Usage of tools requires one to learn about the tools.

If the only tool available is rust, then one must learn rust to truly learn the concepts related to it.
Javascript isn't Java. Javascript follows ECMAScript, which also isn't Java. And ECMAScript isn't a language.
I understand full well how complicated it is. Speed is the challenge, not the lack of a process for this type of situation. Unfortunately, it is a hard one.
Crushing many cubic kilometers of rock, transporting it, and then spreading over large areas takes quite a bit of energy, you'll find. It's not easy as you say, and only specific types of silicate rocks work. You seem to keep thinking that the "tech" is what matters here, and not the necessary enormous industrial and ecological inputs this would take.

Also, no, I'm not wrong about the scale. This solution would require orders of magnitude times more mass than the oil/coal extraction you're describing. Again, you still aren't grasping how big this would be. It would require giant open pit mines to take out literal cubic kilometers of rock, and keep doing this for ages.
It's interesting you bring up REPLs. I never in 20 years working have ever worked with one. I switched jobs and a few people are coco in love with them.

This probably more than anything else comes down the programmer style. I had to use Jupiter notebook to help my wife learn programming Python and it was horrific. I could never imagine that real work was done in this way, but I know many good programmers that swear by it. I suppose that when I need something like a REPL, I tend to use my debugger instead.

I agree. PReact for instance comes to my mind. But it’s faster! And? And is it really in a business web app and not just a printf(« hello world »)? Does it matter that much? Do they have as many dev working on it? What about edge cases? More than anything for this type of change does your faster magic new thing has even an ecosystem?
Science was pretty much agreed upon in the Middle Ages. Most philosophers agreed that Aristotle and the Greeks had pretty much worked everything out. Point is a consensus can be very far from the truth. As it stands the Standard Model is, to quote somebody 'a hideous cludge'. It relies on many invisible, undetectable entities such as 'dark matter', 'dark energy' all kinds of subatomic particles, yet it cannot explain gravity. It also introduces concepts such as inflation. Worse still, it is contradicted by qm!

I think it's still possible that the entire standard model might still be uprooted in favour of something simpler.
Their director of engineering did a podcast a couple of months ago:

I guess literally anything can be "PPB concentration" if you don't care how many parts it is per billion.

A 1GW fusion reactor would consume about a ton of fuel per year.[1] That's about 600 kilograms of tritium. Over the course of the year a reactor with a positive breeding ratio will produce more than that.

The breeding blanket for ITER will be about 2000 tons[2] and ITER is designed to produce 500MW.[3]

This means that ITER will produce at least 300 kg tritium in 2000 tons of blanket, over the course of a year. Collect the tritium annually and you've got a concentration level of 150 parts per million, or 150,000 PPB.

Resourcing for frontend is basically hiring for the superset of frontend tech. Once you have that team in place of course they'll use the tool that has the most options. It's a safe bet even if its not the best performance, and it's important on the resume.
Helpful, though if you consider the "Wireless No 10 Set" as an example of a practical microwave radio...it didn't use a Klystron, and some of the enabling technologies like pulse code modulation and time division multiplexing didn't come from radar.

The premise seems overstated to me...there's certainly some crossover, but both radar and microwave telephony were progressing in parallel.

>transcontinental links post-war

That would have to be relays. Even with tropo-scatter, microwave radios are only good for a few hundred miles. The "few dozen miles" limitation would just be the normal earth-curvature limitation that line-of-sight brings.
Yes, with one possible exception: it’s not clear how a typical user would have gotten a scanned photograph of a baby onto a Mac in 1984.

The example output other than that though consists of images easily produced in MacDraw or MacPaint, copy-pasted into MacWrite documents for layout. All the fonts used are built-in Mac system fonts.

And the big game changers that made that possible for a user with minimal training were WYSIWYG onscreen graphics, universal copy/paste (plus the ‘scrapbook’), and consistent availability of ‘undo’.

Also not to understate the value of the Finder, with folders and documents that you could see, and the clever undoable ‘wastebasket’ metaphor that also gave users confidence about what files were there, what files they were operating on, and what files they were deleting.

It was completely gamechanging.

If poverty is partly caused by perceived race (e.g., denying housing à la Trump Management, Inc. or denying employment to ancestors causing a difference in how current generations view education and work), ignoring it will not help solve the problem. You have to be able to study all the reasons for poverty in order to craft appropriate policy.
Completely agree.

I use C and C++ on a day to day basis, which has an extremely bad rap in the DX department. Even coming from languages that, by and large, have very poor DX, I find the JS and TS ecosystems to be intolerable. The tooling is extremely slow, buggy, and often produces straight-up incorrect results.
That is also how I see my side projects. Some things will grow, some won’t. All good. Enjoy the garden - and the work!
From all I've read, the Gemini was a fantastic spacecraft that had a lot of un-utilized potential. While NASA saw Gemini as a stepping stone to Apollo the Air Force saw it as the workhorse it was.

It's too bad it was relegated to history so quickly. I have read that, unlike the hack that was Mercury, the Gemini was designed to be easy to work on, service — components accessible from the outside of the craft by simply removing an exterior panel or two. And with designs like the Blue Gemini [1] and the Big Gemini [2] the Air Force at least saw it as extensible.

It was the future I was promised, and although military in nature, I am sad nonetheless that it never came to be.

I have Ogilvy on Advertising, found it cheap at a used book store.

It's sometimes interesting to see all the revisions done to a blogpost. This is easy to do if the blog is hosted on Github Pages (which many blogs are). You can see a diff of each change and amendment (they're mostly typos). With a bit of digging you can hunt down the Github profile where the blog is hosted and have a nose.
Or a WordPress site with a nice looking theme on your own domain with total control over your own publishing platform, with portability. WordPress is the Linux of publishing. Publishing on Medium or Substack is like building apps on the iPhone or applications on Windows: you’re there by the good graces of the platform owner and if you’re ever a strategic risk or opportunity to them, you’re dead.
> The question is always whether the proposed treatment is safe and effective. Safety, of course, should be relative to the condition being treated.

Right, which is why the doctors actually treating the patient should be free to make judgment calls without a bureaucrat looking over their shoulder.

If it really is on par, then even the stupidest approach to renewables (i.e. massively over-building instead of using some storage) is equal cost to nuclear. That's a strong case for renewables.
It's not pro-Russia to aspire towards de-escalating a situation that could lead into nuclear war.

If you want to talk about stereotypical priorities, you have about 90% of HackerNews in a constant state of panic about the existential threat of the planet maybe getting a couple of degrees warmer over a century but seem to reject nothing but escalation into full nuclear war. How good is nuclear war for the environment?
Lowering the standard of notability starts to create problems for the even more fundamental policy of verifiability. If articles are allowed without having even a couple of independent sources discussing the subject, it’s harder to weed out the self-promoters, spammers, and hoaxes.

It's almost impossible to reliably distinguish animations required for a web site to work properly from animations and changes that can and should be disabled.

For example, try to distinguish (from "definitely should be blocked" to "definitely can't be blocked without breaking things"):

- An ad mascot hopping up or down telling you to click it

- A loading spinner spinning

- A progress bar

- Information you're waiting for being loaded once some process completes

You could disable all CSS animations and GIFs, but that will kill the loading spinner and risks that the next ad mascot will be written in JavaScript. And it will still not stop one of the biggest offenders in terms of blinking, ads that are being replaced by a new ad every 30 seconds.
This is purely about your preferences. You're arguing for a world in which the vast majority of people give up something they really like in exchange for something they really don't care about. "Abusive" is quite literally the wrong term because the exchange (you run arbitrary code on my device, I get software I want to use) is helpful to most people, not harmful.
Absolutely, e.g. 'towards data science' always comes on top when searching anything ml related and is always a disappointment -- code without syntax highlighting, meme pictures over half the screen, etc. I extrapolate this to Medium as a whole.
So it's not really like chaotic systems at all, whose development is internal.

It is superdeterminism. "Conspiracy" is a feature of some superdeterministic theories, but not all.
Here’s another perspective on this: someday, you’re going to find bugs that require more code to work correctly, and more code is slower. If you’ve fixated on performance you now have a conflict of interest, and conflicts make it easier to talk yourself into bad solutions.

I say this as someone who has gotten a lot of pushback in my career about performance work. Performance is a thing that needs to be priority. It doesn’t trump all else.

Make it work, make it right, make it fast. When people skip step 2 (and a godawful number of people do) they make enemies of themselves to their coworkers.
>Won't a society that encourages getting ahead at all costs

First of all, this is a anticapitalist meme that has no basis in reality. In American Factory, you can argue that the Chinese workers are encouraged to "get ahead at all costs". They likely share the same work ethic as Americans 100 years ago when they were similarly blase about safety, but this certainly isn't the case today. Today, we use marathon as a verb describing passively consuming media, and we glorify inactivity (FIRE, rest and vest, Office Space, etc) and these attitudes are unique to recent decades. We still celebrate hard work to a certain extent, but that's nothing new.

As far as cultural impact goes, your best case scenario is that people are more altruistic towards their in-group. Norway is renowned for it's redistribution of wealth, yet they're only .07% of the world's population and their sovereign wealth fund alone holds 1.4% of the the world's stocks. This is great for their citizens, but they aren't so keen on redistributing that wealth with Muslim immigrants and their children.

When you look at countries that are actively hostile to private wealth creation, you'll notice that they're all incredibly corrupt. This tells me that at least amongst the elite, they're just as greedy their counterparts in capitalist nations. The difference is that their economic model incentivizes them to chase zero-sum political power, rather than produce something of value.
It's a Very Bad Thing™ that Wikipedia has become such a centralized funnel for information: (a) it's governed by gatekeepers with agendas, for better or worse; (b) an article's quality is often inversely proportional to its talk page archive length—i.e. articles on controversial topics are basically worthless if you're trying to get a balanced viewpoint; (c) Wikipedia has become a bureaucratic behemoth sucking up donations; (d) it implicitly kills other competition (Wikipedia universally ranks above all other pages); (e) in many cases, sources are either fabricated outright or the source does not support the article or the source is itself more nuanced than the article (editors rarely check sources, let alone that sources themselves may be biased); (f) Wikipedia rules are enforced arbitrarily and in an ad-hoc manner (some Wiki editor communities are more hard-line than others); etc. I think Wikipedia is going to end up being a net-negative in the long run.

In the 90s, Wade would've started a website/wiki called "Female Scientists" and she would've ranked just fine on search engines. But these days, Wikipedia itself has become a cultural battleground.
Status Quo != Acceptable, even if other payment processors decide they are doing the same thing, PayPal also operates in large as a wallet of sorts, meaning it's not only commercial companies but users who are affected by this. Unclear writing means PayPal could "at their sole discretion" decide you tweeted (for example) something they didn't like or deemed against their user agreement and without involving the law at all just fine you for it?

My personal bank has no such clauses in their user agreement, nor anything apart from their compliance with legal requests to freeze accounts. For users who treat PayPal like a sort of bank, this is a problem.

I'd also like to see the clauses in Stripe, Square, etc agreements that parallel PayPal's position that they can decide who is doing mean things on the internet and fine them for it.
You aren't wrong. I've thought this way about most commercial attempts. I'd have to check out the movie. Gene Wilder, this should be good!

Deutsche Bahn has some announcements which are amazingly unspecific (something like "[the delay] is due to delays in the operating sequence"). They also have multiple euphemisms for accidents/suicide (translated it would be something like "personal injury at the track, personal injury IN the track, emergency doctor deployed at the track").

If they were to record the announcements today, maybe they should add one for sabotage and one for stolen overhead lines...
Totally the first billionaire to give up his wealth to charity.
