To give some context....

In nature the sunlight a tree uses is somewhat more than the surface volume of the top part of the tree where the leaves are. That happens due to the characteristics of light wavelengths and the fact that the plant cells where the sunlight reactions occur are somewhat transparent.

Similar to organisms in oceans the plant cells have more than one cell part tuned to more than one light wavelength so that the inner leaves are producing energy from a different light wavelength than the outer leaves.

Tech farms need to re-invent their light tech to make it profitable but no one has looked at the biology of it to understand that aspect as current tech lighting usually is one light wavelength instead of the two that are needed.

Okay rant off, my previous stint as a biology student rears its head again.

I did check this recently, light pipes are still only one light frequency.
The cost of nuclear isn't important to this short term debate, simply having it is.

This comment is like someone decided to just be a strawman rather than have someone come up with it.
Phind is fine, except that it's quite unlikely to actually use GPT-4 even when you select "Use Best Model". It takes your query and tries to predict whether it's highly complex and technical, and will only use GPT-4 if that's the case. It's surprisingly difficult to trigger GPT-4 here.

This used to be clearer because Phind would tell you which model it used. Now it says "PHIND MODEL", which muddies the water a bit.

When this was being built it was a big tourist attraction. I visited the Biosphere a couple of times that first year and I went to the ceremony for the reopen.

Strange project. There was clearly some valid science and engineering that came out of it, but lots of vanity, hype and backlash. The effort was founded by a billionaire who was either a visionary or a member of a personality-cult, or both, depending on your perspective. The biosphere residents - the biospherians - were lionized in the local press, similar to astronauts.

When they opened it up after the first year, the biospherians strode out in jumpsuits and lined up on stage. Lot of speechs by people in the project and unrelated luminaries.

My favorite memory is a great but somewhat random speech by Jane Goodall. (paraphrasing) "I know this experiment isn't supposed to be about the interpersonal dynamics of a small group in a confined space, but we should use this experience to think about other intelligent animals in confined spaces for long periods of time... like chimpanzees".
Ian from Forgotten Weapons is arguably one of the most famous gun enthusiasts out there, and it's his video that is linked in this thread. The very fact that "gun Jesus" is excited about this platform says a lot.

He does note that a small portion of the gun enthusiasts population will hate it, but goes on to note why he thinks their fears are misplaced.

Also, its been stated a few times in this thread, but this platform isn't trying to be a gun for all things. Specifically it's a bedside gun, that stays loaded and out, that mitigates some of the risk of leaving it in that condition (kids, theft, etc.). It's competition is trigger locks, safes, lock boxes, and just hiding it somewhere.

I'm unconvinced the electronics are appropriately tamper proof, and will remain unconvinced until some real experts get their hands on it. Ian mentions that as well, and is looking forward to a real security audit by experts in that field.

All on all, seemed like a pretty reasonable take on everything.
Hard to compare. They’re completely different in terms of plot, mood, style… everything, really. Roadside Picnic has the signature Strugatsky Bros dark comedy running through it, while Stalker really has no comedic elements whatsoever. I prefer the book, for what it’s worth. OTOH, I prefer the film Solaris to the Lem novel.
Which clients do you use? And how do you connect to a SIP trunk / DID without Asterisk?

I use WebRTC with Asterisk, and Browser Phone for the client (https://github.com/InnovateAsterisk/Browser-Phone). I don't use it much, but good enough for the rare times I have to use the phone.
When it comes to personal weapons comparable to a hand-gun there's not much in the way of complicated electronics. The most that I can think of would be TASERs and holographic sites; neither of which are particularly complicated.
Yep, I was addicted to that... and to 0ad at some point too...
You have it exactly backwards. We use colima to run the (lima) VM that runs Docker daemon, but we use all the standard docker tools on the host. Colima configures docker with a context called "colima" that knows how to talk to the guest correctly.
The cinema of directors like Tarkovsky and Bergman can only nominally be termed "movies".

You're saying Germany isn't actually sovereign?

And what's that about US troops preventing a nationalist coup? That sounds like an insane conspiracy theory.

We're not an occupied nation. There are 35,000 US troops in Germany. Compare that with 180,000-250,000 German troops (depending on how you count them).

And the NS2 sabotage is pretty much irrelevant. No gas has ever flown through that pipe, and it was exceedingly unlikely to ever happen after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

I'd say running too hot.
These days POTS lines are usually only used for last mile communications so the calls get converted to VoIP on the telco side. Basically it's for backwards compatibility — the phone lines are already there, a lot of people have phone wiring in their houses and no configuration is required on the consumer's end.

In general the days of having direct electrical connections between two distant telephones are long gone. The telco companies scrapped it when they realized that they could trunk the phone calls from a local branch to the central office using PCM streams over a single cable.

Yet I see carbon capture being a top pick in discussions about effective altruism and by the clean air task force.

I believe their reasoning is that for the amount of money invested, it remains one of the most efficient investment to decarbonize.

I don't know what to do with that information.
As a Buddhist I find myself meditating on a related question: When is the personal self born?
It clearly does not exist at birth, and then some point, after we learn language, that voice of the ego develops. The ego that constantly chatters and is everywhere in past, the future, somewhere else, and never here and now.

For most people that ego goes unnoticed, until they look or listen for it.
Upon reflection the ego (and the self) is quite obviously an illusion, yet, this constant chatter, the constant fear, anxiety, anger, remorse, from living in the past or future is source of so much violence among human beings.

Maybe this is off-topic but I feel that the "take what I want" attitude has is source in the unnoticed ego illusion.

Nuclear power plants need maintenance ("failing" France is used an example for this all the time on HN) and fuel rods. With the nuclear exit, reaffirmed by a conservative government, was decided ages ago, German nuclear plants were in no position to rwtain their certification. Nor was fuel ordered or available.

And yes, still having coal is a failure from a climate perspective. Energy was plenty so, if we exclude price hikes caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. And those price hike were global.
I really hate comments like yours, trying to justify bad decisions instead of admitting you're wrong.

Of course there are reasons, they are just not good ones. They were bad then, and disastrously bad now in light of the climate change threat.
It's spot prices, which:

1) Can change very fast, e.g. on potential strong China reopening or colder than usual winter.

2) Do not fully represent cost of long-term contracts.

Also, with reduced industrial output (especially in energy intensive production) you need less gas. If you try to return to the previous levels, the price will react sharply, thus making growth in those sectors difficult. Finally, a significant amount of electricity generation has migrated from gas to coal, which is not free of consequences...
I always thought the insistence on 100% adherence to the sealed airlock was a bit of vanity. When they had to take one of the residents out for surgery, and sent them back in with some food and supplies, the press treated it like a betrayal.

But science isn't an all-or-nothing effort. It was only a big deal because the PR machine insisted there was absolute isolation. Needing to adjust the experiment slightly midway through doesn't invalidate the effort or the insights that came out of it.
Moore's law was never about raw speed. It is about transistors per unit area and it is still very much active. That transistor count is going into cache and core count, but it can just as easily go into specialized linear algebra units, which is what AI chips do.

Maybe. It's all a trade-off.

Residential homes with swimming pools have a higher mortality for children than residential homes with guns, and yet there does not exist the same sort of large scale highly funded push to ban residential swimming pools.

I mean, if the primary area of concern was safety, you'd save more children by banning swimming pools.

We're not talking about some kind of very complex macro object.

We're talking about converting hydrocarbons -> CO2 + water (or whatever if you care) and reversing that reaction (or similar, since we may want something more stable than hydrocarbons).

There are already machines which do this (anything that does photosynthesis). We're just going to play around the edges of making the reaction more efficient and/or the results more stable.
In order to be successful, ambitious people need to differentiate their actual abilities from external perceptions of those abilities. The hard work you put in maximizes your individual potential, but it doesn't guarantee that your abilities reach any particular bar. That bar is determined externally, and often very subjectively because outcomes often depend on a confluence of factors well beyond one individuals performance. In large scale group environments, like the corporate world, it's even worse because your promotability may depend primarily on the storytelling ability of your boss with tenuous connection to your actual contributions.

Many come to this conclusion and focus primarily on optics. This can work to a point, but it can also lead one to lose the plot on ground reality. At this point you are vulnerable to any higher up with a clue coming in, and the higher you go the bigger risk this is because senior management make their bones sniffing out bullshit even when they might not personally have all the details.

For that reason I think it's very important to develop hard skills from the ground up, and not focusing primarily on optics from a young age when you don't yet have a deep understanding of how things work. It's much easier to sell quality work than to try paper over a gap in fundamentals.

I suspect a lot of lawyers should be disbarred, GPT aside. They don’t always care about their customers. I’ve often been more expert than my lawyers in France, and I’ve seen at least one guy going to prison where the lawyer, publicly shamed by a dozen of youtubers for not actioning the various correct levers, told the excuse that he “only had an hour to review the case”.

What are we paying for, if the guy spends 4 months in prison before the faulty judgement being overruled, if the lawyer says he didn’t even work on the file.

When you hire a lawyer, you have no guarantee he will work for you.
> Homeowner stops break-in" is exceedingly rare as to be statistically insignificant

Incorrect. You have any stats to back that up?
>Somehow, I get a sense that the governing bodies are going to cause far more harm to people than the climate change.

That sense is called "your priors." This is a very simple, mostly linear switch on top of very very very complex systems, ie CO2 concentration. Your argument is basically "we broke it, but if we fix it it will be more broken" and there's just no evidence for that, just speculation.

As long as other bad policy decisions aren't made because of the existence of CO2 sequestration there is absolutely no reason not to use it, but it's one out of perhaps 100 major initiatives that will be required to get us back to a good level.

And by the way, if you're living in a man-made climate crisis and governments start doing bad shit (like Syria?) it's still the fault of the man-made climate crisis, at least in part.

This type of use case is why I wish more mainstream languages would have stricter concepts of purity and side effects.

Conceptually, a function implementing the body of a database transaction should be idempotent. If a language had a function type that did not mutate global or closed-over variables and only affected the world by calling methods on its parameter, it would be difficult to mess up.

Haskell can do this.

Rust’s Fn(&mut txn) -> Ret is kind of close, but it doesn’t express that the function may not have mutable captures, and it does nothing about interior mutability or calling impure functions.
The only domination they can show off is in the financial press and the press in general.

Right, solar and wind, although relatively cheap to produce, unfortunately, face challenges when it comes to energy storage. These types of industries require stability.
Whether it's legal to record your own phone conversations depends on a lot of things and isn't a given. At least one case comes to mind where their dashcam recorded video and audio of the mechanic taking their car for a spin and causing some damage, and the fact that it recorded audio got the owner in major hot water.

To the point about recording notifications, I'm not sure, but the only potential sticking point that comes to mind is that it's a machine giving the notification rather than the people you'll be recording. Generally though, if two people are conversing and one says they'll record it then the other person is usually allowed to as well.
Yet our troops are still welcomed and NATO is more popular than ever.

I’m not saying it doesn’t put us in an advantageous position if it came down to war with Germany or France, but it does matter that we handle trade disputes and NATO as separate matters, and it isn’t as if EU has exactly been kind to American tech companies lately given with each passing year they pass new onerous legislation that mostly affects foreign tech companies more than it affects their own domestic industry because their own home grown tech industry wasn’t worth much before we took any protectionist measures.

Right now we are guests in the country with our shields and spears pointed in the direction of the East because we have overlapping interests in defending their nations with their present governments as they are against the threat of Russia. The reality on the ground now outweighs an incidental hypothetical that would be a repeat of a hundred years ago. If our presence dissuades a second rise of Nazism, that’s probably as much to Germany’s benefit as it is ours, but the market disputes are between the EU and USA, not European NATO and North American NATO and while we’re there as guests and not belligerents, we’re there to defend Germany, not impugn its sovereignty.

The 100TB was just an example. They don't want you using more bandwidth than your storage. If you're storing 500GB, then your bandwidth usage should be less than 500GB.

Wasabi isn't meant for scenarios where you're going to be transferring more than you're storing.
It's not always necessary to compensate those whose labor helped you. I haven't compensated many of the open source projects I use, for example, even those who clearly want me to (with nagging pop-ups). If the use of copyrightable material to train a model is legal, and it does not legally require compensation, it might be difficult to argue that the use of such material should be compensated or else. It would depend IMO on whether there are norms in place for this kind of thing, and I don't necessarily see wide agreement.

There’s a problem hidden.

MacOS make is outdated (or not GNU flavor not sure) and, for example, doesn’t support parallel tasks by default or some more advanced recipes.

Asking people to use gmake on a standard Makefile is much more difficult than just asking to install Justfile runner.
There's also the correlated risk issue.

Say 10% of your claims are against some natural disaster, and they will either not get triggered at all, or all get triggered at the same time. That's an uncomfortable situation - this is what is called catastrophe risk. Ideally as an insurer you want lots of uncorrelated risks and the strong law of large numbers is on your side.

Insurers typically outsource such catastrophy risks (to some extent anyway) to reinsurers, ie insurers to insurers, but (a) that's not a hard guarantee of risk mitigation and (b) they still have to pay for it.

I can imagine that in this whole quagmire, and considering what people would pay for insurance, it's easier to just pass.
If we are talking about serving files publicly I'd go with the €40 server for flexibility (the storage boxes are kind of limited), but still get a €20 Storage Box to have a backup of the data. Then add more servers as bandwidth and redundancy requires.

But if splitting your traffic across multiple servers is possible you can also get the €20 storage box and put a couple Hetzner Cloud servers with a caching reverse proxy in front (that's like 10 lines of Nginx config). The cheapest Hetzner Cloud option is the CAX11 with 4GB RAM, 40GB SSD and 20TB traffic for €3,79. Six of those plus the Storage Box gives you the traffic you need, lots of bandwidth for usage peaks, SSD cache for frequently requested files, and easily upgradable storage in the Storage Box, all for €42. Also scales well at $3,79 for every additional 20TB traffic, or $1/TB if you forget and pay fees for the excess traffic instead.

You will be babysitting this more than the $150/month cloudflare solution, but even if you factor in the cost of your time you should come out ahead.
