Is iron oxide really that much more volumous than iron? In terms of capturing the iron oxide, why couldn’t this be run in a sealed container with a valve that allows oxygen in? This doesn’t work for hydrocarbons because the volume of CO2 is orders of magnitude greater than the volume of fuel, but does iron oxide have the same issue?
How much of that latency is down to DWM (the compositor) doing fancy transitions? It seems like there's at least a 1/4 second dedicated to the grow/fade in.

If you search the startmenu for "advanced system settings" it will pull up a control panel era System Properties app with an Advanced > Performance option. Turning off visual effects there dramatically increases responsiveness.
I assume they are using renewable energy to reduce naturally-occurring iron oxide.

When the iron is burnt are they going to do with pure oxygen? Otherwise they'll get pollutants like nitrogen dioxide, possibly ozone. And the 0.5% not burnt will also become a pollutant unless carefully removed in some smokestack scrubber.

Or is this 'burning' to occur some kind of iron fuel cell? How would they liquidize the iron which is quite heavy?

Lastly, iron is heavy. Moving reduced iron could be expensive and dangerous.

Still, if sufficiently close to the renewable source this could provide much needed load leveling for intermittent sources.

This is true, it would take a fantastic cooling system to make burning 180W on your lap comfortable. However that doesn't make a 180W laptop useless. Firstly if you are charging it when not on your lap you may prefer the faster charging and the heat doesn't matter much if it is just sitting on a table. (Plus more than half of the energy is going into the batter rather than being expelled as heat). Secondly if you are at a desk then it is nice to have the ability to do demanding tasks, even if a lot of your use is well under 180W having the ability to set it down and crunch some data (like letting a video render for a few hours unattended or playing a game with keyboard and mouse) is very useful. Thirdly short bursts of 180W isn't uncomfortable, so it can be useful to have this capacity even if your average is well under 180W.

I would hope that the power management settings have options to limit the power usage/heat output that can be enabled when using it on your lap.

TL;DR yes, burning a constant 180W on your lap isn't good, but having this capability adds many valuable use cases.
Have you ever tried to actually work with the government? Even with internal champions the paperwork is staggering. Even with all the laws that are supposed to encourage smaller companies to work with the government, the paperwork and systems you have to navigate to land, let alone, complete a contract is insane. It’s driving the smaller, more focused contractors right out of business/government contracts. When those small, honest, firms close all that is left are the huge firms. And those companies are quite adept at wringing every dollar out of the government and establishing contracts that pay over years and years.

It’s so frustrating.
That actually depends on how you define failure.

Now we come to a peculiarity of aerospace, so excuse the tangent. All aircraft have to be airworthy to be allowed to fly. Those airworthiness criteria are set during initial Type Certification, and more or less set in stone. Changing them requires various amounts of testing, re-certification and abton of paper work nobody in their right minds does voluntarily. One reason one does it is obsolescence of parts or technology.

One of things I insist on, for that very reason, is in being smart in defining begnin things like BoMs and maintenance plans. Because deviating from those grounds a plane.

So, if (I have no idea of the E-3 specifics as those arw most likely classified to a certain degree) said trash bins are part of the airworthiness requirements, not having them (and them being up to spec) grounds the plane. Because the absence of said trash bin is a defect in itself.

Whether or not the trash bins are a signigicant safety problem is, decades after the E-3 got certified, no longer relevant.

Aerospace is fun sometimes.
amazing landing page, the animations are really slick !!
It's sometimes just called "popcorn salt" and it's exactly as you describe. (And it can also be made at home from regular table salt with a food processor or mortar & pestle.)

To a first approximation, Earth is a big ball of iron, so losing 50% of the iron in 333 cycles doesn't seem like that big a deal. Getting more iron is an energy issue rather than an availability issue.

I'm also somewhat concerned about the nanoparticle's effect on living things. It is likely that it is only a question of local exposure, as in general once they get out they should still rust in some relatively short period of time, and as Earth is the aforementioned big ball of iron, a bit of rust in the environment is quite unlikely to hurt anything because if it could hurt a thing that thing would already be dead, but locally nanoparticles would be something weird and I could see breathing them could be problematic. It is also entirely possible that it is safe up to surprisingly absurd levels too (your body is familiar with iron, and while there are toxic doses of iron you're not getting to them with nanoparticle exposure any time soon), it would just be something that would need some study.
LTT had a video recently where he went to their production facilities and show how they’re actually making the laptops. Was pretty informative, more informative than the information we’re getting from framework themselves.

A quick look at an example of the big-ticket items immediately shows that's not what's going on here. From the article:

> The investigation also revealed that Raytheon Technologies had raised the price of Stinger missiles from $25,000 to more than $400,000 per unit. “Even accounting for inflation and some improvements, that’s a seven-fold increase,” Shay Assad, a former Pentagon acquisitions official, told 60 Minutes.

See also,

> Experts say much of that contractor price gouging has worsened over the past few decades as the military sector has experienced dramatic consolidation. In the 1990s, there were more than 50 “prime” DoD contractors capable of competing for major contracts. Now, there are only five.
Being performatively abrasive is no way of convincing anyone. I happen to agree with some of the underlying points you're making, and I still find myself shaking my head. Being off-putting is not a personality.

From a practical standpoint, I don’t see how that is true.

In order to establish (civil) liability in the United States, someone would have to file suit, survive the inevitable standing challenges, and demonstrate on the preponderance of the evidence that they had been harmed by this conduct.

If you can’t prove your code was reproduced by this model, I don’t see how you can successfully do that.

Launching val.run: subdomains and arbitrary paths
A strange article considering that California has been doing prescribed burns for years[1]. You could read it and easily believe that this is some new and novel approach. Many groups agree that California needs to do more but describing it as "California will begin backing intentional burns" seems intentionally misleading.

The author's digression into European's attitudes toward Native Americans doesn't seem to add much to the discussing except give them some cultural warrior brownie points.

> In May 2018, then-governor Jerry Brown set a goal of burning 500,000 acres of wildlands each year by 2023—a start at treating the 20 million acres that California’s Forest Carbon Plan estimates would benefit from prescribed fire or manual thinning.
Corn subsidies also go to producing ethanol. Which is arguable a gigantic waste when compared to using it for animal feed. Roughly 40% of corn is used to produce ethanol[1]

My understanding is that most Framework 16 laptops won't draw anything close to 180W, and only the people who put beefy discrete graphics cards in the expansion bay will have that kind of draw, and those graphics modules will have their own fans to reject heat.
I appreciate the work! Will use your website to show the caveats to my students. Numbers seems like one of the simplest datatypes but their complexity is underestimated sometimes.

How do you know they were operating close to their safety margin?
Also, despite his stupid rhetoric, his diplomacy facing China was so miserably bad that they now own military bases all over the world and are set up to challenge us with more than just saber rattling.

Repeating "China is so bad" into a microphone a thousand times turns out isn't actual leadership.
Cows and chickens are butchered only a couple years into a life that could extend a decade or longer. I wouldn’t call this a good life. Additionally, unless you’re buying from a local rancher who puts a ton of time and money and space into his animals, you’re universally buying meat from an animal that spent its entire life in crappy conditions.

I find the idea of an animal corpse that’s slowly decaying in my fridge to be disgusting. I’m totally fine with the idea of lab grown proteins and fats in my fridge, though I’d still probably only eat it in small amounts bc it feels too similar to the corpses that disgust me.
This is the blog post I want to read. What’s your setup for that?
600 mhz is quite the machine for NT. I remember running NT4 on a 233 mhz pentium II with 128 MB RAM and everything felt instant and limitless.

Windows 2000 was quite the hog compared to NT4 and all it added that I had a use for was USB support. I think by that point Dave Cutler was no longer running the show and windows performance slowly started degrading.
I've seen both. In my experience it's been rarer to see a process with no coding involved, but it happens here and there.

Sometimes you go from one speed limit zone to another without realizing. I'm not saying I'm flying around as fast as possible, but it's nice to get an alert for a speed trap so I can look down and double check that I'm not speeding.

Saying they weren't stupid then providing a list of stupid things they did kind of under minds your point.
Sadly, that is you missing my point. I am not claiming that pollution alone should preclude the idea of doing burns. I am claiming that to reduce pollution concerns to being "dumb" is wrong.

This is a hard area to regulate. Any attempt to minimize that is reductive and unlikely to be helpful. Is why I picked something i know is allowed, burning in your yard, but with a condition I know is basically never allowed, against my fence.
Trump was also just openly very favorable to Putin, considering him a "friend" (which is insane) and trusting him over his own intelligence community.
I'm not sure what your "not muh eggs!" story has anything to do with a discussion about animal ag industry and scaling meat production to global levels.

For example, how much do your backyard chickens contribute to global egg consumption, and what would the egg market look like if all eggs came from chickens living like yours? That's the kind of topic going on here.
I’ve been searching for a documentary called history of the vtr. It focused on video tape as part of the broadcast industry and showcased specific machines. More importantly it demonstrated what the imperfect artifacts viewers saw were caused by in the machines themselves.
> It needs to prove that it can be competitive with the other methods.

I think the one thing is that iron storage would be a potential long term form of storage, while all those other methods that you mentioned are really short term, designed primarily just to deal with the daily peaks and troughs of renewable production, but not as much the "it's been completely overcast for 3 weeks" problem. The only other form of storage I'm aware of that is also long term like that is pumped water storage, and that is obviously very geographically limited.
Thanks for this

Great read
There's been a problem of lateral rather than forward progress in nearly all industries since the early 2000s. Lateral progress being a different way to do the same exact thing (a doorknob versus a lever latch for example), and forward progress being a new way to do a similar thing but in a much more efficient and modular way.

It's been bothering me for some time ever since I noticed it with the advent of IoT "smart" devices that have the same features as traditional appliances for twice the cost and technical debt. My washing machine still washes clothes and turns itself off, but now I need to set the wash type using my phone because lateral progress dictates a physical interface on the device itself is obsolete.
Considering that indigenous populations at large have been oppressed since Europeans made landfall to the Americas, a trend that interrogates their history and struggle, and celebrates their culture is a welcome change in the status quo.

After all, European history, culture, and heritage is still being celebrated even as its foibles criticized, so I fail to see how one culture's sharing of the limelight with another's constitutes racism.
> Levidow, Levidow & Oberman said in a statement on Thursday that its lawyers “respectfully” disagreed with the court that they had acted in bad faith. “We made a good-faith mistake in failing to believe that a piece of technology could be making up cases out of whole cloth,” it said.

Seems like they still don't get it.

It's not good faith representation of your client, it's not good lawyering to interrogate a chatbot for your case. Even if it could somehow only ever tell the truth.

It's not a "good faith mistake" - so I think they still don't understand the problem here.

It might be representative of greater society: when people interact with ChatGPT, they treat it as an oracle. I see it all the time on r/chatgpt - people say, "I asked ChatGPT about my long lost grandparent whose life I am researching. Apparently my grandma was a pilot!"

Seems like the lawyers are shocked the oracle lied but still think they were right to consult it.
What happened? Apps got huge. OSes got huge. More and more security checks are needed now that every computer is connected 24/7.

But yeah responsiveness does not seem to be a design goal anymore these days.

Kerberos relies on line of sight to the TGS. In the '90s and '00s, this was common place. As of COVID, less so.

Kerberos is also difficult to administer and secure (Golden Ticket?). Kerberos also requires the target service be a member of the Kerberos Realm (or otherwise trusted) which again means line of sight between the service and TGS or Realm to Realm.

And then we get into the whole ticket size issue.

Kerberos is not a good candidate for web-based AuthN.

Documents that don't hard-wrap (they could opt to hard-wrap without consequence, to your point), when viewed somewhere that doesn't make it trivial to engage soft-wrap, are much more of an issue than the tag barf mentioned earlier, IMHO.

I'm in university and each exam I have to install windows 10 to run Safe Exam Browser (same hardware), in between I use Linux as my daily driver. The perceived difference in responsiveness is always frustrating, though I find that a lot of it probably is just due to user hostile design. No OS that constantly nags about tracking me, showing me ads, and so on will feel snappy. I'm sure there is some real lag as well though.

Microsoft has essentially turned the OS into one of those websites which show ads, news letter dialogs, cookie notices, location permission requests, notification requests and so on constantly.

I must be doing something wrong with FedEx Delivery Manager, because it doesn't actually let me manage deliveries. Unless your deliveries were all in-house through FedEx? I get a lot of shipments from other websites through FedEx and I can't "manage" the deliveries on those, not even a note to put the deliveries somewhere inconspicuous.

Jira is a horrible app though. I don't understand why it's so popular.

Worse thing is the only reason we have to use it is to log our hours. Because the CIO wanted us to be "agile". Apparently logging ones hours in Jira makes us "agile". Yeah I don't know how either. Someone ticked a nice box there for themself. Now we're just creating a useless swamp of data that has no meaning because there are no guidelines on how to log everything. Normally when you implement the full process that stuff is straightforward because you have things in other places in Jira to link to. Not in this case. The only thing we have achieved is making Atlassian a bit richer.

The same with "cloud". We had to be "on cloud". So what do they do? Migrate every physical server. Every time we need a new "server", we still have to fill in the same 18-page excel sheet. Only the tab with the physical rack location has been replaced with one with AWS locations. We still have the delay of several weeks of approvals and everything runs 24/7, nothing scales automatically or is auto provisioned. This is not "cloud". This is fooling oneself. And paying too much. We're technically in the cloud but we don't take advantage of anything it's actually good at. Paying only for resources we actually use? Nope. Auto scaling demand? Nope. Quick provisioning? Lol you wish. And we can't because the infrastructure architect team has locked everything down so nothing can be automated. They only trust themselves to that as they are the high priests.

It's really time for megacorps to stop trying to be like a startup. It doesn't work, unless you basically rebuild the entire org from the ground up. Which will never happen because it will disrupt too much. Too much legacy, too many strings attached to "the business". Too many processes that will never be changed because it means the entire org would have to change.

Just work with what you have and improve that instead of trying to pretend you're something else.
I’m eager to try this out, but you might also want to check out Steermouse[1], which is a utility it took me years longer to discover than it should have.

I’m not sure how it stacks up to this open source project, but it’s definitely been worth the license cost to me over the years.

its not a democracy -- you discovered the implementation that is convenient to the towers of executive authority; there is no change just because it is more widely known, in fact, increased boldness in tracking activity in real-time and building dossiers on users for "ads" is growing, along with the stockpile of money available to implement that.
In my experience (author of ReactForDataviz) the React renders SVG approach starts struggling around 10,000 to 50,000 nodes depending on hardware and what kind of calculations you’re doing.

Directly manipulating the SVG DOM with D3 (wrapped in a React blackbox) goes to around 100,000 nodes. After that you really have to start using canvas or webgl.

At those numbers you also start getting huge performance gains by mutating data and doing less copying. Everything you learn in “how to do react” tutorials quickly starts being wrong when your arrays have thousands of elements.

Edit: there’s also a lot you can do with how things are nested. The flatter your DOM, the fewer nodes React has to touch for every update

Here’s a fun stress test I built a while back that goes up to a million nodes rendered by React https://swizec.com/blog/a-better-react-18-starttransition-de...
The nanoparticles can't be converted back to iron in this process, but they can still be turned back into iron by other processes. No system is truly closed loop, but this is more closed loop than any other energy-to-fuel system.

You need to extract the feedstocks for any energy-to-fuel system. Iron is cheap and simple to extract, compared to say carbon from the atmosphere.

The nanoparticles do not get released to the environment. Emissions from burning carbon based fuels also include pollutants that are hazardous to human health.
Exactly. And yes, starting with new technologies, but if we try to optimize our existing process for obtaining meat we will likely not get far before hitting a local maximum. So it makes sense to try to make dramatic leaps to other areas of the solution space to see if we can fine a new maximum. It will take a lot of resources until the new technologies are better (by various metrics) than the old ones, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth trying. With the scale of meat consumption the potential payoff for better methods is huge.
The people who comment on stuff like this are people with something to say. So yeah there’s being to be a tint of negativity.
