I believe the straightforward answer is to dig a hole. But it would certainly be interesting to calculate exactly how much cooling capacity you could get out of one or two 55 gallon drums of some endothermic precursors. Bonus points for being easily reversible when the electricity comes back on (like those sodium acetate heating packs).
Yea, reality sucks, huh?

You could always try rolling around on the ground and kicking your feet. It's really amazing how often that works.

It may be hard to grasp, but reading the news isn't for enjoyment, it's for information (although I have to conceed that modern news is largly information free, but this is exactly because they're trying to make it entertainment).

It's important to understand what's going on in that place called reality. I know its so unpopular! Who even talks about reality on twerk tick anyway?! Let's all just stick to the stuff that involves me, like those choo funny videos of the "set your balls on fire challenge"!
The more plug-ins you have, the more likely it is that ChatGPT will call one in unintended ways. This is also why plug-ins should not be granted permission directly for potentially destructive actions.
No, it does not, when the cPanel provider disables AutoSSL and doesn't install the Let's Encrypt plugin, which is a lot of them, including Namecheap.
It's very nice, thanks ! It would be nice if descriptions had new lines; some aren't readable, while they work quite well on HN.
Nice list! I was almost going to ask you if you have an OPML file with all the feeds, but then I decided to check the list manually for interesting latest posts and grab only their feeds. Thanks for the list!

American medical system is pure gotcha capitalism and extortion with an ostensible patina of restraint. Medical shouldn't be for-profit and shouldn't be a driver of bankruptcy, but those with legislative ability are on the take from big pharma and big medical to make it even more lopsided, anti-choice, expensive, and anti-consumer. There can be no reform from within a political system that refuses to restrain itself with campaign finance reform. There isn't much hope but large scale, grassroots, nonviolent rebellion to first remedy the political operating system that is a prerequisite for enduring change on any issue that cannot be bought and undone by crooked politicians.
Hah. I will grant you that one. :D

Though I am absolutely fine with you dismissing my parting shot on those grounds indeed.

My personal blog writing mainly about technical things such as Kubernetes (and Containers), WebAssembly or Zig. Lately I’m documenting my progress of learning the Rust programming language by taking notes on specific topics.
the part where it went terribly wrong is relying on variable energy sources to power a grid designed around the assumption of controllable power generation.

There is a not a single gigawatt scale power grid anywhere in existence that has managed to supply growing load, over extended timeframes using renewable generators.

This is the heart of the problem - we will eventually reach a stage where renewable energy powers entire grids but we are not there yet nor is the end in sight for much of the world. In the meantime, we must eliminate carbon emissions and power sources like nuclear are ideal.

We're building FPV humanoid robots to do hands-on jobs from home that can be controlled with standard VR headsets: https://robosymbiosis.com/.

Still very much a work in progress. I'm a little obsessed about the UX of things, so I'm really trying to drive the idea that it should feel as natural to use as moving your own body. I love that it combines tons of aspects from VR game design, robotics, and web technologies into a single experience. I expect to have a full scale, really rough looking but functional prototype by this fall.

Rubles had crazy interest rates for a long time. Low confidence given defaulting is the national hobby - but it doesn't happen that often.

More boring: A startup, I decided to invest only after talking with the C-suits and understanding they had what it takes to sell to investors and good numbers. I tried to use my past experience as a founder and think if with their skills and with their numbers I would be able to sell the company.
To be fair to the author, difficult here could just mean “more complex than it seems” which he does a good job of illustrating, specifically around the additional concerns that go in beyond the actual processing of the water.

Yes, you have the current model correct. To support Lambda, we'll need to move the lock to LiteFS Cloud and allow writes directly to it. The write performance won't be as fast as a local LiteFS instance that is always the primary though. I'm hoping we could still eek out ~100 write tx/sec if the lambda & LiteFS Cloud instance are physically close (e.g. both in us-east-1).

We do something similar in LiteFS already with something called "write forwarding". It borrows the lock from the primary, sync to the current state, runs the transaction locally through regular SQLite, and then bundles and ships the page changeset back to the primary. It works well but it's slower than local writes.

Hey, my wife has diabetes, and she's had really awful luck with automated blood sugar monitors. Somehow their readings are always off by insane amounts vs a finger poke

Have you done much research into that area? Do you know if there's a brand we should check out or any common gotchas? (I can't find much reasonable info on this online due to my poor Google skills and all the bad info out there..)

Found the press release and interview - https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/brazil-announces-pilo...

"Araujo said the "digital real" will be built as a means of payment executed on distributed ledger technology (DLT), to support the provision of retail financial services settled through tokenized deposits in institutions of the financial and payment systems in Brazil ... Araujo stressed that the concept of the Brazilian central bank digital currency (CBDC) was not intended to leverage digital payments, as this is already being done on a large scale with Pix, which was launched at the end of 2021 and has been widely adopted in Brazil."

This appears to be a trial to streamline back office retail banking operations in Brazil. The example they seem to stress is democratizing federal bond sales within Brazil as well as Repo operations.

You are correct. Although technically, dissolution is not a reversible process. That's why you need to input energy to reverse it.

Carnot cycle, technically, doesn't apply to all energy sources directly.

For example, solar panels have their "hot side" at around 6000K, so Carnot efficiency would be close to 100%. Real solar panels have other limiting factors, and I believe the absolute achievable theoretical maximum is around 80%.

On the other side of the spectrum, wind turbines have very lousy Carnot efficiency because they're exploiting a temperature difference of just a few degrees. However, the "Carnot tax" is not paid by us directly, so we don't really care about it.

Worked on this hardware startup from 2011-2015: http://VOXON.co - a volumetric 3D display company.

We went through the Microsoft Accelerator for Kinect powered by Techstars 2012 in Seattle. It was very hard to find investors, mentors, and partners for hardware at the time.

That said - building the technology from the ground up and seeing how much people loved it - I’ve never been more proud to be apart of a project. We were doing something really hard - but together we built exactly what we said we’d make.

That's not too bad. the normal baseline consumer costs are actually more expensive than that. normal base use in irvine ca is 1.78 per 748 gallons which is almost 3000 liters. (2831.488 liters)

I assume that's cost to make and not total cost to consumer post treatment plant distribution and maintenance so it would be more expensive than that but still in the ballpark of reasonable.

> It's just a race for which test case gets to the supreme court first really...

Not really for practical purposes. In the long term, the Supreme Court can and does overrule its own precedent, so the first case on the specific issue to get to the Supreme Court doesn’t end the discussion.

In the short-term, cases get resolved by lower courts and parties either lack funds to do the maximum level of appeals, or the Supreme Court chooses not to hear appeals (they tend to prefer an issue to be well-developed with circuit case law, often waiting till there is a conflict between the Circuit Courts of Appeal, before taking it up), so the state of the law prior to any specific ruling on the narrow topic by the Supreme Court matters quite a bit.

this is all well and good but seems to ignore the central problem - energy security is a national priority. Hand waving away the problem by pointing to energy markets or a decentralised grid does not address the fundamental issue.

You are right, the goal is not 100% secured energy supply but we have multiple problems at the same time - energy security and climate change to name just two.

I never really understood central bank currencies... it always felt like the government jumping on a hype train.

The fact that the primary criticism against central bank currencies comes almost unanimously from people who consider straight up tax evasion a good thing is starting to change my mind.

As a visceral example of this in the other direction, the freshwater plume of the Amazon River extends more than 60km into the ocean. [0]

I would love to see these plants placed in areas where there's a nearby dry below-sea-level basin, into which the brine may be discharged. The Salton Sea in CA is one example, there's another similar location in Egypt I'm aware of. The advantage of such locations is they are usually extremely hot and arid, which means there's generally not much of a local ecosystem or human population, and there is ample solar power availability.

It's an interesting article. That said, it's funny, considering how things have progressed over the past decades, CSNY and Joni Mitchell's riders almost seem quaint. Two bottles of a very popular wine and an extra limo? Puh-leese.

Also I'm not convinced the brown M&M sitch wasn't how Roth explained it. Sure, BTO added the tutti-frutti ice cream just as a precaution, and was negotiable about it. I have a feeling Van Halen encountered more craven promoters, bigger a-holes, someone who broke that trust. From then on the brown M&Ms were not mere red flags for venues. They were de rigueur.
Another possible example is the x86 and x86-64 ISAs locked between AMD and Intel. I don’t think Intel would have become complacent had there been more competitors…

We're coming to the inevitable conclusion that we can't keep doing this, as there's little existing ecosystems to destroy - I mean: we're looking at deserts and thinking: "why not?". Slightly more outlandish, we're looking at whole planets and thinking the same.

Some call that par for the course, others unsustainable. Still others don't make a distinction and see them as the same.
But then you would have to claim that the mainstream parties of many, if not most, countries are "right extremist". Japan would probably count as significantly more "extremist" than the AfD.

HN seems to be chock full of people who have vendettas against so called "elite" schools probably because they didn't get in. Which is weird since there also is large number of people who were self taught and didn't even go to school and are very successful. These schools are private businesses, forget private universities being some about some bastion of knowledge and discovery of truth, their primary concern is funding ongoing operations. There are plenty of schools that can provide a similar education if that is what you are going for.

Another fun one is UTC. In English it's Coordinated Universal Time, in French Temps Universel Coordonné. To get one name for all languages a compromise was chosen: UTC, which doesn't match either. At least it's a nod to UTC being a version of TAI that's kept in sync with UT2 (UT0, 1 and 2 is time as measured by earth's rotation, with increasing numbers of corrections for wobbling applied).

EDIT: The 2010s through 2020s were a period of incredibly low interest rates and cheap money. Most projects were thinking long-term, for good reason. When interest rates are 0% and you got free money / free borrowing, there's not much point in doing anything quickly.

We've got stupendously stupid ideas like MoviePass getting deployed, and bankrupted, within months. Does that count? Presumably we want something that wasn't "just" fast, but also impressive / accomplished something real.

This is a fantastic point, but Zoom would never have been a candidate for me personally for several reasons:

- As important as reducing our use of fossil fuels is, using less energy is not a solution to the problem of a non-renewable energy system. In that sense, it wouldn't meet the criteria for someone who wants to work on a climate solution.

- While WFH drastically reduces auto emissions, it increases gas & electricity use in the home.

- Zoom is not a mission-driven company and (to my knowledge) their KPIs are not directed at or correlated with their GHG footprint; I would think they see themselves as productivity software, not climate software.

- If Zoom never existed we would be working from home at the same rate, using any of hundreds of other video conferencing apps. In carbon offset terms, their impact does not provide additionality.

It's hard to say. If Postgres is working for you then it might not be worth the trouble. Not everything migrates one-to-one between database vendors.

Fly.io takes daily snapshots of your server volumes so that's one approach to backups that's already handled. However, you can lose up to 24h of data since the backups are only daily. Postgres has some options for streaming backups like wal-e. That might be worth checking out depending on your needs.

Of course people can and do die from cold, that was never my claim

My Claim is providing people with emergency heat is FAR FAR FAR FAR easier and cheaper than providing people with emergency cooling.

Do "at risk" people die in the north from the cold, absolutely but I am not sure how that means the cold is worse

As it stands right now, just from my daily activities my waste heat in my home makes my home about 10-15 degrees above ambient. Meaning in the winter if my target temp is 65deg, it would have to be 50 degrees or colder outside before I would even think about running my heat.

In the winter time that means my AC is working hard to not only combat the outside temp but the internal waste heat from computers, cooking, TV's, humans, etc.
