The greatest invention of mankind. Never understood why this didn't catch on here. Don't have to time to grab a coffee from Kiosk when I'm waiting for a train.
I don't understand if this argument makes sense, but I feel it doesn't.

Isn't carbon capture harder than emitting carbon (hand-waving at thermodynamics here)?

Also, don't all methods of carbon capture produce new emissions again because they need energy, resources etc?

I don't claim to be able to do the hard science here, but the comparison you make seems a lot more far-fetched to me than that of the original comment.

edit: sister comments already make the argument much more clear and I guess the self-doubt of people with responsible intention versus the chuzpe of climate denialists contributes even more to our dire outlook.

If you were being sarcastic: oh well, not helpful.

Quoting a sibling comment here:

> The sad reality with carbon capture is that it's an excuse to put more carbon into the atmosphere than is actually being captured. The oil and gas companies pump billions into capturing carbon are not interested in efficiencies. They are merely interested in making many billions more on dumping more carbon in the atmosphere. If that ever gets close to what they produce, their cost will be so high that they will be out of business
Do you mean to say that this phenomenon was what made renaissance?
I think the point people are trying to make is that general masking behavior has not been guided by rational consideration of where it is likely to be beneficial. So, it's a warning to slow down and think about it.
On footnote #4. The change from two shifts to movabs/and is only possible for unsigned. If the size was signed this wouldn't be the correct behavior (Requires sar instead of shr). It's not surprising that RISC-V sticks to using two shifts because it takes a bunch of instructions to load a 64-bit constant into a register. Can't even load a 32-bit constant into register with a single instruction on RV.
Europe tolerates graffiti and de-beautification of public areas too much for quirky complicated things like these to work, unfortunately.
> You said that the model fooled your friends 10% of the time.

I am imaging some nerds actively changing their real behaviour to become closer to ChatGPT so that others will more likely believe it when they take a break and handover their work/comms to AI tools :)
That is true, but IME only if it incurs costs.

In this case, however, a pop-up on your own site costs nothing. In fact, removing it incurs costs in development time, even if it's a simple line delete.

So, I am 100% sure no marketer would ever push for removing it, unless end-users specifically tell them that they are not going to use the site because of the pop-up. The likelihood that they realize that on their own is next to zero because of the difficulties in retention analysis to catch this.
It's not bullshit, it's necessary, we could magically stop all carbon production tomorrow and still need to remove existing CO2 from the atmosphere.
Thanks for the post, Lars! I'm loving the “Unpacking Elixir” series so far.

I really wish I had been exposed to Erlang/Elixir much sooner in my career. The inherent pragmatism and the overall desire to consolidate as much as possible within the BEAM makes for a very pleasant developer experience.
No. You are better off not doing the whole thing.

Any coal plant - carbon capture plant combination that captures more than it emits would easily be a perpetuum mobile.
> Problem is, how do you generate that energy - on the civilizational scale required - in a way which produces less CO2 than you're removing from the air?

The answer is simple: trees, moors and other biological processes. That would also work out on scale, as it has before humans have ever entered the play.
Some quotes from the article:
"When he spotted the bullet after the motorcade arrived at the hospital, he said he grabbed it to thwart souvenir hunters."

"At some point, he now guesses, the stretchers must have been pushed together and the bullet was shaken from one to another."

"In fact, he said, he was the one who found the bullet — and he found it not in the hospital near Mr. Connally but in the presidential limousine lodged in the back of the seat behind where Kennedy was sitting."

"I didn’t want to talk about it,” Mr. Landis said. “I was afraid. I started to think, did I do something wrong? There was a fear that I might have done something wrong and I shouldn’t talk about it.”

I believe it's Apple's policy to remove apps that are not upgraded, even if they're still working. Which is baffling and highly questionable IMHO.
600€ for an obsolete-era machine that sells imperfection as a "feature" (probably because they don't have anything else to sell, as even their website's sample photos are mediocre quality) that many will probably use once or twice and get bored and jump back to their iPhone/DSLR/mirrorless anyway?

No thanks.
> I have done that. Most people go, "oh, cool," then continue on. They really don't care one way or another, and it's more evident when I ask them later about what I just did and how they feel.

They start caring when they use another computer that doesn't block popups.

You say you've installed ublock origin for people? Lovely - go back a month later and remove it, then see how much they care.

People don't care when they think they have no chance to get something, but they do care when something they have is taken away.

Many people don't care about the results of a lottery for a car, but take away those same peoples $1 for a ticket, and suddenly they are very interested in the result.

Your experience matches reality: since you're only executing the first half of the experiment, you don't see any results. The reality is that the results only show up if you complete the experiment.

No, you want to get rid of just enough of the top performers to significantly lower labor cost while keeping enough that they feel safe. You can shed as many of the bottom performers as you like without worry. Gotta make those top performers do 2x the work for one paycheck.
> Also managing to have everyone on the same patch for $GAME could waste hours.

This one hits close to home.

IIRC, in some games it was not even that obvious that someone had a different version (e.g. maybe they just wouldn't be able to see the server in the list), which made everything take even more time.

That just reminded me that circa 2010 I created a Google Sheet with a list of all the games we used to play, which patches to download and from where. By that time it was getting quite hard to find some patches to older games.
I think sealed interfaces it not quite the same as "tagged unions"-style enum's with payloads.

Also, it does not matter much anymore, the whole std-lib is full of exceptions-to-implement-multiple-return-values.
What about economically?

Think of the huge investment required to extract fossil fuels and process them into something useful. Now imagine something similarly huge in scale, but the output product, instead of being incredibly valuable, is actually useless.
In some places, where it is still possible to use classic wells to pump oil. But in most locations, these have become rare. That we still can extract way too much oil is due to technologies like fracking, oil sands and what else. So claiming petroleum extraction is minimal invasive is a gross misrepresentation.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I disagree with the tooling comment. Composer is horrendously slow, taking on the order of multiple minutes just to do a update often times. This is just my experience, but I'd much rather take mix, cargo, or yarn any day.

xdebug, while it works, also feels antiquated. Trying to get it working in a new system or project can take quite a while. Again, compared to python or node's debugging experience or profiling experience, and it feels like something stuck out of the 90s.

Even just getting output from php is difficult for me. Maybe it's because of the webserver I'm using? But python, elixir, node, go, etc, all output logs to stdout while running a local service. Maybe that'd work with the built in webserver, but fpm or modphp, etc, it seems like you have to hunt down logs.

Not to mention that the dev servers almost always require a full apache or nginx setup just to function. Opposed to a node, elixir, python, or go server which all run directly from the directory you're in. (Including things like hot/auto reloading in node and elixir)

I'm not a full time php dev, but my time in php always feels like a grind, and just getting tooling working is not an easy thing. If I'm missing some state of the art alternatives, I'd love to hear them though.
I'd say if their click through rate to the actual article (aka bouncing off the page instead of clicking the close button and continuing to read the article) is low, they'd likely remove it. At least that's how I've been able to convince certain marketers about the inefficacy of their tactics. But other things, like modals to subscribe to the newsletter that pop up after reading the content half-way, simply work too well to ever give up.
> Best as I can tell: Jon von Tetzchner always had one primary goal - to become an industry titan, primarily like Bill Gates.

Could you please explain, in your opinion, why its bad that Jon von Tetzchner have a goal to become an industry titan?
Well, better to panic and run in 1000 directions, none of which going away from the planet that is so far our only habitat? It will work out one way or another. And either many-worlds is true, and some of them will carry on human life, or it’s not, I‘m wrong and all these examples were just lucky accidents. In the second option we‘re likely screwed either way, because the number of ways that humanity can kill itself is growing by the decade, and one of these will trigger sooner or later.

It seems pretty self evident that China would not be in favor of military action to enforce climate goals. GP's point was that still developing nations are going to continue producing CO2 regardless of what electric grids look in OECD nations.
You're getting a lot of downvotes but I think it's mostly because of a misunderstanding of the bigger picture. Erlang can provide a low median latency and won't be very sensitive to outliers where many other languages will have schedulers that are much more sensitive to outliers (because they'll steal too many resources and can potentially steal an entire core for too long) while they can still have lower minimum latency.

It's not that hard to accidentally exhaust the thread pool of some runtimes whereas you have to end up in pretty deep pathological areas in Erlang in order to do so. Notably `term_to_binary` on massive structures has historically been mis-bookkept (if you can call it that) by the runtime and will only count as one function call despite its high cost. This means the scheduler can't preempt it and wouldn't be able to nicely schedule N processes (where N is the amount of schedulers you have currently running, i.e. usually your core count) that were executing it.

But again, these are much deeper pathological cases than you'd find causing issues in most runtimes.
I've also seen what you described, as some have gotten new computers or started using new browsers (or new profiles in browsers which reset extensions). People generally find it nice to use ad blockers but really don't mind that much when it's gone. The average person tolerates a surprising amount of bullshit, you see it already with the amount of ads people already used to watch with cable and now watch with YouTube ads, for example. What seems essential for you and me is just a little perk for most people, it seems.

> separate memory managers

Notwithstanding the rest of your comment, this doesn't seem like a good example of the problem, since most GCs have a complete view of their memory.
The code though...
Yes that's what I'm saying, to reiterate: The likeliest token does not lead to the highest performing result. Otherwise temperature wouldn't even be an option. I would imagine things like language word frequency affect the token rating a lot while having nothing to do with the task at hand except providing a correctly formatted answer, but it's probably not the whole story.

OpenAI (and others that know what they're doing) always do their benchmarks in a multi-sampled way, by running 5 or 20 times at optimal temp. Using a wrapper that runs these samples and then another pass that judges self-consistency for a final answer can give you a correct answer 100% of the time for a question that would be wrong 100% of the time with temp at zero.
Diagnosing an Unresponsive Database in a Medical Imaging Application
It's not a real concern. Might make for a good science Fiction story though. https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2009/11/superfreakonomics...
Let's be clear, the design I'm proposing makes no changes to which boundaries are allowed. It simply switches the default from shared to client. Nothing stops a given bundler from requiring a shared component where one is expected now.

What that compromise would have done however is caused significantly less adoption, because "out of sight, out of mind". Most people would not opt into shared/server since RSC is not providing enough value for them: They don't mind the waterfalls, they're stuck in their ways, and above all they highly value reactivity bring sprinkled everywhere since that's what they were all running away from in template based frameworks.

I think where we likely won't see eye to eye is if that was a fair decision to make. I think especially given the singular implementor, the React time should have left RSC as a default disabled and left the uphill battle to Vercel to convince developers to opt into RSC in their own bundler.

Forcing NPM packages to need to think about appending "use client" to be is the smoking gun that this was the wrong move.

that's what their frozen models are for.

Truth in human affairs is a local not a global quality.

Necessity in human affairs is a local, not global quality.

Compassion is the only truly necessary behavior on this trio.

Putting ourselves in others' shoes is this sublime homo sapiens ability that makes society possible by creating a connected mental and emotional universe.

Yet somehow for all the innateness, and the wise words percolating through all philosophies and religions of history, compassion is never the driving force. It is always just the palliative measure, tapped when aggression, exploitation and dehumanization destroys too much and puts society at risk.

Isn't carbon capture harder than emitting carbon

That's the question.

To burn coal, we have to dig it up from the ground. Is it possible that we one day find a way to "dig it up from the air" instead which is "less hard" than to dig it up from the ground?

Or that we find some other process which has seperating carbon and oxygen as a byproduct? Like some form of photosynthesis? Trees already do this.

The fastest bird can fly 200 mph.

Apollo 10 flew at 25k mph. A factor of over 100.

Maybe we can increase trees by a factor of 100 too.

Would you say the same about the early homo sapiens? Practically the same mental capabilities but zero accumulated knowledge baggage you have now. Even the articulated form of the "concept of a concept" you mention is a construct humans came to collectively, let alone "financial markets".

The actual mental capability gap between humans and other animals might be shorter than it appears, if you filter out the knowledge obtained over generations (i.e. not possible to obtain individually without some advanced society).
Not in my experience, in fact I find that when I need precise, realistic, and reliable results temp 0 is needed. For example, here is a bunch of names, gather the names of specific plastics under headings matching their common acronym - if I don't use temp 0 I might get nonsense out. Temp 0? reliably correct.
TLDR: There was a error handler that used print(error) instead of console.log(error).
Here you are right that there is a defect in the ancient X Window System, because it has only one global DPI value, instead of one DPI value per each attached monitor.

Correcting this is a very small change that would have been much simpler than inventing the various "integer scaling" and "fractional scaling" gimmicks, which have been included in some desktop environments.

Using the correct units in graphics APIs is not "programming font rendering". It would have been better if pixels would have never been exposed in any graphics APIs after the introduction of scalable font rendering and scalable drawing, removing thus any future scaling problems, but it was tempting to provide them to enable optimizations, especially during times when many were still using very low resolution VGA displays.

However such optimizations are typically useless, because they optimize an application only for the display that happens to be used by the developer, not for the display of the final user. Optimizations for the latter can be achieved only by allowing the users to modify any sizes, to be able to choose those that look best on their hardware.
If I got the article right, the plan is to use underground carbon stores like a battery, “charging” it by pushing carbon under that has been pulled from the air, and “discharging” by pulling it up later? That has to be one of the most inefficient ways of storing energy imaginable.
