The reaction described in the paper doesn't have spare oxygen on either side, presumably because oxygen has a habit of destroying catalysts and being explosive when mixed with hydrocarbons. Instead hydrogen is required.

Socialize the essentials, let people work for the non-essentials.

I fully acknowledge that, to the best of my knowledge, no one has tried to sleep better by congregating with thousands of similarly-sleep-seeking others into a jam-packed stadium.

I will also point out that, again to the best of my knowledge, extremely little money is made by the music industry on sleeping pills, sleeping hardware (beds, mattresses, pillows) and necessities (covers, duvets), nor on specialised sleeping gear (masks, blinders, apneu machines).

Also: most people try to or need to sleep every night, but can go without a concert for multiple days. If you can sell something on a recurring basis, you don't need to make a ton of profit on each sale to get a nice income stream.

Finally: I think it is harder to improve the sleep of someone struggling with that, than to create entertaining music.
This could be interesting (as I have also been looking for something to reduce CO2 and VOC in the home), but the important part is probably this:

> only require a visible light source that also produces heat—such as a halogen or incandescent bulb—and a lampshade coated with a thermocatalyst.

My read is that you wouldn't be able to do this with an LED, and I only use LED lights around the house. Isn't any heat production from a light is an inefficiency to begin with?
I really fail to understand how you can push "light technology" while using a modern computer connected to the Internet - both are very very far away from being light in terms of technology involved. In fact the technology making both run is incredibly complex/sophisticated with a high environmental impact resulting from production, assembly and shipping of components required to make it work.

Wanna go light? Ditch your computer, phone and most of electronic/digital devices you use every day (for a start, then follow up with car and basically anything that depends on "heavy technology" to exist and run). But that is probably not the lifestyle you're imagining ATM.
Even better than having / mounted as tmpfs, is having / mounted as read-only. So no misconfigured application can write and depend on files on tmpfs (which is stored in RAM), and breaking after reboot.

On my Fedora Silverblue, only /etc and /var are mounted read-write. /home is a symlink to /var/home, /root is a symlink to /var/root.

I don't think lumping everyone into this bleak conclusion is fair or accurate. Perhaps it's a method to excuse yourself from your own use of social media: the "system" is to blame, and everyone else is just as bad?

> "Everyone wants to slow to gawk at the carnage – nobody wants to stop and lend a hand."

Not true. Some would lend a hand if they thought they wouldn't get in the way. Some slow down to assess the situation to determine whether they could help. Not everyone is an unhelpful gawker.
I am skeptical on many of those. Speech recognition is not even close to human level. Whisper, and whatever Google uses will make a lot of mistakes on audio files that are trivial to any native speaker.

A reminder: everything sent via Discord, including DMs, is being logged in plaintext by Discord and will be available to them and whoever buys them (it was looking to be Microsoft for a while, though now it looks like they will IPO).

Simply having an account there normalizes having personal conversations that can be easily data mined for AI, or otherwise used by Discord or their database/systems administrators. Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act (FAA702) allows the federal police to access all of same without a warrant.

The crypto frontrunning possibilities alone must be worth dozens of millions per day.

Our cities is small, but at least I feel we are trying to balance things sensibly. That is have a mix, some single family housing, some row houses, and then fill core and close to core with mid-rises of varying heights.
Cars becoming illegal over night is about as ralistic as popping up infrastructure replacing it over night. It's a complete straw man.

In reality, cars can only disappear gradually, with less-car-dependent infrastructure replacing them as they go, and prices adjusting together with that. If you want to find reasons that no-cars can't work, you'd do much better by acknowledging that their disappearance would bring wider changes to urbanism.

(Also, it's not unheard of to choose a job based on what's in the area. Academic couples do that quite often: when one moves, the other often tries to find a job based on where they go.)

Can't you convert the parking spaces to storage units? I've seen that done some around Paris. But probably not very often, since parking garages are a source of income for city-dwellers. They can be rented out to people coming in from the suburbs who don't happen to live close to a metro (or don't want to take their chances with crappier-by-the-day service).

If it makes you feel any better, you don't have much of a right in the US not to be murdered by habitually sober drivers either [0-4].

Other drivers are often very aggressive [5], there's not all that much you can do to mitigate harm at the time, there's practically nothing you can do to discourage that bad behavior if they didn't actually crash into anything, and even if they do your options can be limited.

It's not everywhere that you'll see a car speed >60mph around the shoulder (dodging pedestrians) to pass the car stopped waiting for the kids to cross at the well-marked flashing crosswalk in their school zone, but that level of misbehavior is commonplace here. Why? Is it a sampling artifact? Other major cities don't _seem_ so bad in comparison.

>The idea is that with fewer cars we would design our urban areas for walking and cycling. Your apartment block wouldn't have only one grocery store nearby, you would have a thriving ecosystem of local stores and restaurants within walking distance. You would take public transport or cycle to work. This is preferable for many reasons.

This very much feels like when people talk about how money is bad and we should get rid of it. Sure it might be preferable, but unless you have literal magical powers it won't happen.

All of this shit has to happen at the same time - preferably over night. No one is going to first start these grocery stores just incase cars are banned and if cars are banned first everyone will just move away from these places before these stores are built/started.

Well you can ssh to an Android phone through the USB developer tools, and you get a bunch of Unix commands like ls, df, etc.

Anyway what's wrong about Unix is that it assumes that users need to be protected from each other (good) but installed binaries can be somehow trusted (bad). We're in the internet age now where we download so many executable code that we need better sandboxing, as part of the OS.
> Monads, even when restricted to programming language usage, do not fundamentally have anything to do with continuations.

This is a little too strong, I think. If your category is sufficiently nice (complete closed symmetric monoidal, I think) then every monad arises as a codensity monad `Codensity_F x = \int_{y} (x -> Fy) => Fy` (with `->` and `=>` as the respective homs), which is clearly continuationy in character.

There are so far as I know no programming languages that correspond to genuinely complete categories, but Haskell at least is close enough that this construction still works. The main obstacle there to "`Monad`s are just continuations" isn't mathematical, it's the lack of language support for talking about categories other than `Hask`.

The question to ask is why?

The answer is that we have programmed these systems to do what we require. They cannot exceed but they fail becasue of errors that we have placed in these systems.

All of the tasks that you have mentioned have been programmed that way. It has taken human ingenuity to work out how to do this programming. The end result is a machine (non-sentient, non-intelligent) that is doing what we require.

If you look at game playing, a system was created to play Go and won and yet that same system fails to win against humans under many circumstances. The literature is there, yet not publicised for all the world to see. A result of keeping the hype in play.

If you look at speech recognition, these systems still fail when we humans work against them and yet, we humans still recognise what the machines fail at.

Just keep in mind that a tractor can move a greater amount of material than a human can, but it is still only a tool. A plane can travel faster and fly higher that a human can, but it is still only a tool.

We use these systems to augment our abilities and yet they are all limited in so many ways that we are not.

The upshot is that we can do amazing things with the things we create, but none of those things exist without us and all those things fail without us.
Everyone who made it out of childhood thanks to antibiotics and vaccines should probably reject takes like this.

Technology has solved the vast majority of all of the major problems of human beings throughout all of human civilization. Agriculture is technology. Writing is technology. Inks and paper are technology. Pharmaceuticals are technology. Heart surgery is technology. The modern industrial supply chain is technology. Transportation is technology. Seatbelts and blood typing to enable blood transfusions - technology.

It is theoretically possible that technology could solve the problem of death itself.

To make claims to the contrary, which would be extraordinary, something a great deal more substantial than a handwavey dismissal is required.

> Except we could have avoided enormous amounts of emissions if every first world country had followed France’s lead back in the 1970s.

We should have, but we didn't, and we can't change the past, so it's irrelevant.

Not only can't we change the past, but it's an apples to oranges comparison to compare what we ought to have done in the past to what we ought to do today, given how drastically renewables have decreased in cost between the 1970s and the year 2023.

> By the time renewables technology advances sufficiently (grid-scale storage is still a necessary but unsolved piece of the puzzle) we will have wasted a 50+ year hard start we could’ve had with nuclear.

There is no need to wait for grid-scale storage. That piece of the puzzle can be added later to replace last mile gas peaker plants.

We built Text Blaze [0] a Chrome Extension [1] that supports a lot of similar capabilities.

It lets you do text expansions on any website using hotkeys, include dynamic values like the date a week from today in your snippets, build form UI's [2], and include dynamic logic using formulas and if-statements [3] (it uses a dynamic reactivity model for formula's similar to spreadsheets).

One thing we are really excited about currently is using Text Blaze snippets to connect any website to an Airtable/Monday.com like spreadsheet using a lightweight SQL variant we created [3]. Combined with forms and formulas, this allows you to build mini-apps you can use on any site with a hotkey.

You're right, there nothing much there but excessive, if muted, self-grandiosement and hypocritical judgement.

Eg, the first sentence:

> As I begin settling into a new flow of my life I find myself finding tremendous sanctuary and peace with myself.

2 * "I", 2 * "myself", 1 * "my life" and a claim that this person has found "tremendous sanctuary and peace".

> I notice this internal tranquility seems to be related to my exodus of social media.

In the second sentence we read that they have peace because of their absence from social media. Great, but then why write a blog post about it all?

It seems like an egoic attempt to try to claim moral high ground to castigate others, while failing to address the crimes others commit in oneself. Do as I say..

"A series of these units may be built on an
integrated circuit with each using a space of less than 0.1
square microns, with the potential to produce a significant power density."

Huh. Is this for real? Most of the discussion assumes an ideal diode. Real diodes have diode drop. All this is powered by very small fluctuations, right. They'd have to overcome the diode drop.

(There is a real component called an "ideal diode", which is a power MOSFET with control circuitry to turn it on when the voltage is higher in the forward direction.
MOSFETs have ON resistances in millohms, which is better than diodes can do. Often used with solar powered battery chargers, large DC-DC converters, etc. Not sure that applies here.)

> When it comes to climate change, the most important goal is to reduce emissions as quickly as possible. This means switching from 100 units gas to 90 units renewable 10 units gas in 5 years is way better than switching to 100 units nuclear in 15 years. If you figure out a solution to the remaining 10 units of gas somewhere within 100 years, you end up ahead!

This is an important refutation of "we need grid-scale storage before we can build out renewables". The total area under the curve is all that matters. 90% renewables + 10% gas can mean less overall emissions than 100% nuclear if it occurs sufficiently faster.

Microsoft Edge gets a new account picker inspired by Safari 17
My personal philosophy is: "Increase capabilities". I consider Stress as an indicator of skill/resource deficits (not always).

I find "sticking to the process" to be most important characteristic in increasing capabilities.

The gym analogy is appropriate here. If I stop working out because I can't manage a particular weight, then I become weaker overtime (or stagnate at best). But if I persist despite the initial pressures, even if imperfectly, then eventually I become capable of handling the extra weight.

Man needs an arena to struggle, to overcome; without that a human being cannot fully develop oneself.

I installed NixOS for the first time a couple of weeks ago. My biggest annoyance has been that most documentation and wiki contributions seem to assume that you're running as a single-user system where it's OK to sudo as root every time you want to change some user settings.

For example, I have still not been able to run Sway as a window manager because I can't find how to set it up properly using Home Manager (doing the equivalent with an .xsession and i3 was no problem). The wiki article about it (https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Sway) has a lot of configuration at the system level configuration.nix, but most of that is missing from the ostensibly equivalent Home Manager config.

It seems like a design error that the Home Manager configuration options do not map 1:1 to the NixOS configuration options for users, and I'm guessing that error is caused by a lack of interest in properly configured multi-user systems.
