If you are going to compare countries you have to do it per capita because the environment does not care about arbitrary political boundaries.

If you allocate allowed emissions per country instead of per capita, with each country getting a 1/N share of the Earth's total allowed CO2 emissions where N is the number of countries, then a country that is feeling constrained by that could split into two countries. Everyone's new share is 1/(N+1) but the former residents of the pre-split country now get to individually emit almost twice as much without putting their new country over its quota.

Of course other countries will figure out that trick too. In the limit it reduces to a world of 8 billion countries each with 1 person, and then is indistinguishable from per capita allocation.

> On the other hand, a live-CD type of distribution, like Puppy Linux, it is an issue, because the "save file" can only be created on some other drive, usually an internal drive. Wouldn't it be nice if the "save file" or "save folder" could be on the USB-stick, or rather it would be nice if you had that choice.

I'm about 98.69% sure this is easy to fix with any ol' partition editor. Even if it wasn't, the absolute worst-case scenario here for a fully-in-ramdisk distro (my experience is with Damn Small and Tiny Core, but I'm sure Puppy and EasyOS can do this, too) is to just boot into such a distro and reinstall the whole OS on top of the USB stick; everything's in RAM already anyway, so with such distros you can reformat or even unplug the stick once you're booted up.

What may not be widely known is that going from 256GB -> 512GB on M2-based machines also gives the SSD a huge speed bump, because 512GB is made up of 2x256GB chips with dual channels. Apple uses a single chip for 256GB configurations as a cost saving measure :(

For some use cases, you're even better off upgrading the base model M2 Air to 512GB vs upgrading the RAM from 8 to 16GB for a similar cost. This is because swapping suddenly becomes twice as fast.
If true, five years not that much difference. A few decades, large differences.

First, this is incredibly sad and I feel for Jake. However, I suspect his plea and guarantee of anonymity will go unanswered. I don’t know Jake from a hole in the wall, and I suspect that’s the case for anyone in his target audience. So, there’s nothing to back a reasonable expectation that he would hold up his end of the bargain. In fact, if he’s about to die there’s little incentive for him to keep his guarantee.

I’m not saying he would break his promise, but it’s a risk. I think he would be much more likely to get someone to speak up if he worked with a reputable, professional journalist that has a history of protecting their sources.

>A lot if it can be addressed by having western countries order more costly physical goods that last longer and are more repairable.

I would love, LOVE to see that. Together with more local production, repair industry with middle-class jobs, and overall education of people on how to take good care of what they own. Except, how many green activists have you seen actually suggesting it? The solutions proposed so far:

* Have fewer kids

* Eat less meat

* Suffer with no A/C

* Rent an apartment instead of owning a house

* Don't drive outside, sit at home

* Don't use plastic bags and straws

All of these lower life quality of regular people, are not even in the top 10 of biggest polluters, and often angled towards more wealth transfer to the corporations (like less kids => lower salary expectations).

I think, it's a reasonable, rational and well-informed choice to not agree with, and not support these policies.

Show HN: python script to suggest domain names with chatgpt
Naming things is hard. Harder still if you can only pick from the left overs.

Inspired by the inflexibility and pricing of other products, I wrote a simple python script that uses your own openai key to:

1. Get some information about the domains you want

2. Ask chatgpt to produce a list of domains based on that description

3. Check if those domains are so good that they've already been registered by someone else :/

I just threw this together in the last 40 minutes so suggestions are welcome. I hope someone else finds this useful.
On a completely different front, let's say the paper completely checks out and they have discovered this miracle. How strong are the patent protections on materials science?

The US still hasn't come to grips with the fact that half of the countries in Latin America are practically failed states as a result of our country's drug addiction. Good luck getting Americans to blame themselves for the environmental damage caused by their consumer-goods dealers. Out of sight, out of mind.

As usual, the only solution in grasp is really demand-side. What is really frustrating is the fact that tariffs on foreign goods (produced under inhumane conditions and without environmental regulations) are still widely rejected by the new (non-labor, middle class, supposedly ecologically conscious) Left, while the revanchist Right and the old Union Left are both okay with them. Why can't our trade policy both benefit American labor and serve an environmental purpose?
it could be more advantageous for china to, say, negotiate emissions and environmental agreements through multiple political groupings - like NE china, south china, and west china for example, and treat them as separate countries in a union.

What is interesting is that assuming it all pans out these are all in entirely unrelated fields. That sets the stage for a whole raft of follow on inventions. Similar to how the telephone + basic electromagnetism led to radio, tv, radar, transistors and ultimately to computers small enough to be practical for businesses, the internet, cell phones and so on.

My grandmother was born in a house without running water, no sanitation and no phone. That's just a bit over a century ago. The rate of change on an annual basis isn't all that large, a decade and you'll see big changes, our world can't be compared at all to 120 years ago in terms of luxury, communications, personal energy budget, food, travel options etc. Still, there are large areas of the planet where the last 120 didn't bring any progress and there are those where they actually went backwards, not rarely to our (the western world for me) benefit.

Fortunately a solid majority of parents made the correct choice at any rate.

I guess this is what your $15000 tickets are paying for.
Which part of the methodology do you think is suspect?
Ok i get the skepticism but what i liked about their description is that it's not the overblown hysterical "AI superhuman programmer" pitch, but a more modest "junior" angle. If they keep looking for something that clicks, there are lots of "junior" niches that could be filled - for example, I can see that thing automatically working to beef up the test coverage. It's kind of difficult to screw up tests, the potential fallout is low and there is a unambiguous number (coverage) as the success criteria. If we look around our daily developer lives, there might be more cases that could be automated with this, even if it doesn't ever become good enough for any general programming.

I'm sure it depends on jurisdiction, but in the US, you can't patent a material, only a method to make it.

If I recall correctly, their patent for method covered a wide range of constituent elements, but left off gold. I would feel pretty bad for them if they genuinely discovered an RTP superconductor but that omission prevents them from becoming billionaires.

But more likely the issue is that their current method has lots of room for improvement and someone else finds one that is substantially better.

ETA: apparently wrong, can patent composition of very novel materials.
So there is this idea that we can reduce the CO2 in the atmosphere by using iron seeding into the ocean causing a massive amount of phytoplankton production. But would the side effect of this be a drop in ocean oxygen levels?
My understanding is that synthesis of the exactly right crystal structure is very hard (for every 10 lead atoms, 1 - the exact right one - needs to be substituted with copper), so the samples are small and inhomogeneous. As a result measuring resistivity won't be illuminating until large amounts of perfect material can be produced.
Hence why:

1. They refer to as an "AI junior developer"
2. It creates pull requests, not commits

From (2), your problem is with the person who commits this code without modification, not with the AI.
Yeah but even that doesn’t explain the extent of US uniquely high emissions. The US has close to 2x per-capita CO2 emissions than China even without adjusting for export. The only ones beating North America are small petro-states like Saudi and Bahrain.
Superconductors have applications in computers, MRIs, maglev trains, and power transmission to name a few.

Superconduction at room temp would all for less current consumption due to resistance inside the metal layer for chips, letting them run cooler and faster.

MRIs use massive, supercooled magnets. If you can do the same at room temp, you could potentially have a portable or much smaller and more efficient MRI.

If you can levitate an object, you can use a lot less power running electromagnets to run things like maglev trains.

If you have power lines that have zero resistance, you can reduce wasted energy. Power lines will actually sag under heavy load due to heat and cause outages or forest fires, this could be avoided.

Then we would also need to look at the heating costs, food quality, mobility and life expectancy. If we force everyone to go run with a bare arse in a jungle and die from a snake bite at age 40 on average, we'll get the number low, but I don't think it's the future you would want.

A more reasonable approach would be grouping by use case (production, shipping, construction, agriculture, commuting, etc) and addressing the highest contributors. But again, it's a billion-dollar industry vs. Average Joe with a plastic straw.

Wind and solar deployments are increasing exponentially. Except this was delayed for years because the previous administration blocked new wind installations (undone, for the moment) and put tariffs on solar panels.

If this thing really was super conducting, they should be able to rotate the sample upside down from flux pinning right? That's why this thing is probably just a magnet and not a superconductor??
The problem about per capita is that a country faces less repercussions for their policies that add to the CO2 load of the world via population. If you currently cap everyone, Y, to some per capita value of emissions, X, (total emissions Y * X). Then if some country adds 1m to their population, Y + 1m, everyone else then goes to X * 95% emissions, by the fault of those people.
