Capturing the CO2 is the most expensive part of the process.

Pumping fossil fuels out of the ground and then capturing and storing the resulting carbon is likely going to be more expensive then capturing carbon, synthesizing the fuel and burning the synthetic fuel. But in both scenarios capturing the carbon is the dominating cost so they're always going to be roughly comparable.

> Keyframes don't disappear with the next frame — they're the basis of all the delta (P- and B-) frames that follow until the next I-frame.

Exactly this. P/B-frames are not encoded as a delta to the input I-frame; it is encoded as a delta to once compressed then decoded I-frame, otherwise errors in the I-frame will accumulate. So any imperfection in I-frames has a chance to be fixed by subsequent P/B-frames, but this is impossible in a still image.

You have a good point that AVIF layered image items can act like such P/B-frames. Do libavif (or other AVIF implementations if any) make use of them? JPEG XL has the same feature (zero-duration frame) but I think libjxl doesn't use it to encode a residue when the input image is not animated---in fairness such residues are very hard to compress though.

It's not the "very-very few". It's the combined population of several large countries.

Because you're immediately excluding people on old devices, on underpowered devices, on devices on bad networks, on devices with weird/incomplete/glitchy/limited support for what you need, sites where JS just errors out (and dies, because there are no recovery options if there's a global JS error)... And the list just goes on, and on, and on.

Proposal: some of the criticism may be motivated primarily by the meta-level issue rather than the object-level issue, viz. what this kerfuffle says about HTML5 and web technology in general.

The web has many positive aspects but modularity isn't one of them. HTML5 has turned into an unfocused attempt to specify a whole computer from bottom to top - everything from a [virtual] CPU, to programming languages, graphics stacks, text rendering, UI toolkits, MIDI, sockets, storage, Bluetooth, USB and more. Unlike other operating systems, the resulting Chrome pseudo-OS has nearly no extensibility. Attempts to use WebAssembly to hack around this yield mixed results at best given the problems of needing to constantly re-download the modules (cache segmentation), needing to re-JITC the modules and inability to share code (process isolation).

Images are a core part of the web's functionality, they were literally one of the first features ever added to HTML. The fact that new image formats can't be added for code maintenance reasons, even when having clearly unique features and interest from major companies, worryingly suggests that the web platform may be heading towards a form of technical bankruptcy. HTML has support for obscure features virtually no web sites will ever use like MIDI or USB support, whilst an upgrade to a core feature that every website uses (except HN of course!) apparently cannot be done any longer. It means implementing a complete yet non-extensible OS stack from top to bottom is a task too large for even the world's largest and richest corporations.

In the beginning, the web's architects realized and understood that it wasn't feasible for browsers to implement everything you might want to embed in a web page. The plugins API was an early addition to the platform as a consequence. When it was deprecated, the stated reasoning was as follows:

https://blog.chromium.org/2014/11/the-final-countdown-for-np...

"Last September we announced our plan to remove NPAPI support from Chrome, a change that will improve Chrome’s security, speed, and stability as well as reduce complexity in the code base"

At the time this sounded wise. But since then tens of millions of lines of code have been added to Chrome (almost all C++) so "reducing complexity in the codebase" seems like a hard argument to make with hindsight. Browsers were capable of running plugins inside their process sandboxes and exploits in Blink are found regularly, so it's not really clear that it made much security difference either.

So maybe that's one reason it's getting such a reaction. This JXL incident isn't just about JXL. It's about what it implies for the future. Who will even bother researching new image codecs now, if even Google itself can't get a better codec into the web?

It may be time to start thinking about what alternative designs to the web might look like, with a strong focus on modularity and extensibility whilst still taking into account everything that was learned over the past 30 years. I have some ideas already but haven't written them up yet.
I'm skeptical. I looked at google maps, and I allow that it may not be perfectly accurate, but the line appears to follow surface roads in the area which allows for cheap and easy (relatively) cut and cover tunnels. Further, if the line already existed to Harvard Square, there is no reasonable alignment that would take an extension under Harvard yard. The line turns because the road turns and that is the direction they wanted to go. They also had to deal with the pre-existing station and tracks. It was probably determined to be the best option as trains would already be stopping at the station, anyway.
> Queer arose not from "woke-leftist" spaces, but grew out of 70s and 80s radical gay and trans spaces

I guess "radical" would have been a better choice of terminology than "woke-leftist", but really you're looking at very similar communities that share an ideological heritage and who tend to complain about any terminology people use for them. The term "woke" is new but the basic ideology goes back to 70's radicals as well.

In some cases, we do. I worked for a farmer who won an eminent domain action on the basis of a Dutch deed covenant. There’s a lot of crusty old law that protected the rights of landowners and others whose title predates the state or nation. In my boss’s case, his title predated both the state and country.

It worked in negative ways too. The Dutch setup a feudal system, but the state limited the ability of the landowner to collect rent in the 19th century. (Baltimore has a system like this too) In this case, the landlords abandoned the title, but many homeowners were in a legal limbo where they didn’t have a clean title.
This is where Angular shines Vs React et al. One "batteries included" library that does everything, no external dependencies unless you go out of your way to add them.

The reason I keep having this discussion with you is that it's interesting!

I agree that work being accomplished is what matters, not hours. But you are clearly not working full time, you could clearly accomplish more for each of the companies within the boundaries of a single full time workload, hours aside, because you do indeed accomplish more than what you're accomplishing at each company individually.

But from your description here, based on the expectation situations with the companies, what you're describing here is just two part-time jobs that are well-paid, and I certainly don't begrudge you that!
But also there is just so much that can be laundered through such businesses and each of them requires hands-on management.

The USSR ended in 1991.

But yes, in the USSR days, Ukraine was an industrial giant. Not all of Ukraine, the industry was concentrated in Donbas. Western Ukraine was always poor in relation to the Southeast and East. That's a big part of why there is so much radicalism in Galicia.

Fun Fact: Since 1991, Ukraine has not built a single power plant, dam, electrical substation, locomotive, or major bridge. 100% of Ukraine's infrastructure is inherited from the Soviet era. But before the war, Ukraine did have industry. The war ended all that. Hard to have an industry when you have no electricity, your businesses are closed, your men are on the front and half your population has fled.

We can ask a separate question, which is why hasn't Ukraine built more infrastructure after 1991 but before the war? Even before 2014? Well, what happened to Ukraine is the same thing that happened to Russia -- the government fell apart and western-backed oligarchs carved up the country and created an incredibly corrupt and non-productive society. But unlike Russia, there was no Ukrainian version of Putin to reign the oligarchs in, so they continued on that Yelstin economic path, leading Ukraine, which used to be one of the richest areas of the Soviet Union, to have 1/3 the GDP per capita of Russia now. Ukrainians, most of whom are intelligent and have college degrees, were earning $150 a month and dreaming of cleaning toilets in Germany. That's what happens when you adopt Western neoliberal "reforms". Even before the war, Ukraine was basically tied with Moldova (another post-Soviet republic that adopted Western reforms).

You still have to connect with data somewhere which often means running an api server connecting to database. There's certainly options to outsource this to managed services, but "serverless" and distributed systems can often be "more complexity" unnecessarily, without any corresponding productivity or functionality gain.

There's a clear trend back to the server to some degree, so on the margin what I'm saying seems to have some basis in many people's experience, where the sweet spot of many apps does not require the added complexity of SPA's or lack of expressiveness of writing so much app code in javascript, building distributed systems, or having to use Firebase style non-relational database services. Moving much of this to the server reduces some of this complexity often with productivity gains.
Well my point is that it's a bit unfair to blame the authors of the presentation for this functionality. Reveal.js is pretty much the standard open-source javascript presentation framework. It's used and developed by slides.com.

I very much disagree with the idea that a CTOs job is to minimize code built in-house.

Every app has different needs and there's always some code that would be a lot simpler if it were written in-house and specifically built for the needs of the application.

Abstraction has a cost and if you take everything off the shelf you'll end up with a much higher overall level of abstraction in your codebase. Plus, your engineers aren't going to understand third-party code as well as in-house code.

I've worked at companies that wrote almost everything in-house and I've worked at companies that had a phobia of in-house code. Both had problems and I think the real solution is somewhere in the middle.

Edit: I also get a "nobody was fired for buying IBM" vibe from this.
The problem is energy conversion efficiency. Sure you can make synthetic jet fuel from solar panels, water and CO2 but the efficiency is miserable[1]. It's something like 4% efficient and the metal catalysts sometimes aren't cheap. I guess it's important to start somewhere and work on efficiency improvements until it makes economic sense.

It's not nearly as old, but the University of Cincinnati has a "Tanners' Lab" facility, because somebody gave them a bunch of money for it when leather tanning was still super-high-tech, and the money hasn't run out.

I think we're not quite on the same page. The comment I was responding to mentioned "the unvaccinated" and "the vaccine hesitant", I'm assuming specifically with respect to covid vaccines.

I know a lot of people immediately translate that to "anti-science" or "antivax" (a word that I really think has lost all usefulness on account of everyone having a different set of people in mind when they use it), and/or conservative/republican/maga whatever, but again, as a living counter example of that, that translation doesn't happen in my head, and it makes me do a double take when I see it.

So my question for parent wasn't "do conservatives/republicans/infotainment viewers exist in large numbers?". It was "how many of the unvaccinated/vaccine hesitant are the sort of people that make it onto your radar?" Obviously you can't miss the crazy uncles on your social feeds, or the cartoon characters that pundits love to cash in on, and it's easy to think the world is nothing but those people.

What you don't see are the people like me that are desperately hoping the topic doesn't come up in conversation because it's basically the equivalent of bringing up abortion when you're around the water cooler.

Hourly positions pay you for your hours worked, part time positions pay you for part of your productive working time, but full time positions pay you to work full time, not part time.

Also, there is no cause and effect here, though vascular origin dementia as noted seems almost certainly to be reduced by better cardiovascular fitness, as are many other vascular issues. Having said that, vascular and arterial lining damage due to diet appears not to be resolved by exercise, and could very easily be a culprit here as well. Fitness is a great tool for general well-being, but it doesn’t appear to be the singular cause of increased wellness here.

What's the alternative, have twice as many critical vulnerabilities? Using Rust in Android, Linux and for drivers has already been proven to work, and work rather well (Linus snark aside). See recent postings about Rust code in Android.

> The rust authors thought wrongly too: using this testing, proving, fuzzing, sanitizing and various other tooling "accepted" the code with bugs in it

You're doing the Nirvana fallacy

Just because fuzzing, testing, proving still let bugs exist doesn't mean it pointless. Let alone doing it in memory unsafe language.

> Meanwhile, I'm wondering what the heck kind of crazy crackhead do you gotta be to think that the "bugs" nobody has hit in ten-year-old-code

The kind of crackhead, that had to pick up pieces after 15 year old code that people thought it was "working", but had massive oversights. I know what passes for working, and honestly it scares me. From segfaults when comments are removed, to XML parsers that don't understand namespaces, to bugs caused in unexercised code that fucked over entire ecosystems. Would Rust solve all of them, probably most likely the first one wouldn't happen.

That said, I'm not judging your code, it's possible to make C code without UB, but it's kinda like winning a lottery. libfyaml is one such library.
Using such a process on plain air is not likely to ever be economically feasible as air only contains a tiny amount of CO₂, around 400 parts per million. If you want to run such a process run it on the exhaust stack of a gas-fired power plant since that contains a good amount of CO₂. Of course this only makes sense if the capture takes less energy than the power plant produces which can not be the case since it would violate the second law of thermodynamics [1].

It's just a language model. It is easily confused by things as simple as three-digit arithmetic. If your question mistakenly suggests that something false is true, it will often hallucinate impressive-sounding reasons why this is so, rather than tell you that your assumptions were wrong. It is not going to be possible to trust any answer it gives you, especially if you're not expert in the area and the answer seems correct.
