> Imagine how long it actually takes to build one structure like that [...] 6M tonnes of the great pyramid.

This one machine in Germany is already making the equivalent of ~15 great pyramids per year, by tons of material moved:

Carbon capture is difficult currently, but we'd have to problem dispensing with this amount of material per year on a global scale.
When I was a kid there was an aluminium smelter in Anglesey, North Wales that ran off the base load of the local nuclear power station
Interesting, that's the exact opposite of my experience.
Thats why real votes are anonymous
But the burden of proof is clearly on carbon capture then.

Most carbon we produce is caused by burning of energy-dense fuel, leaving well:

heat, smoke, gas dissipation and some forms of energy that are useful to us.

If I understood basic thermodynamics at school, this process is irreversible and claims to the contrary are charlatanery.
Oil is cheap due to economies of scale. There's unimaginably vast suply chain. When that starts to unravel, it might get cheaper but only temporarily.

When calling the GPT-4 API I get this answer:

Sally has 2 sisters. Each brother counts Sally and two other girls as sisters, which means there are three girls in total. Since one of these girls is Sally herself, that leaves two others as her sisters.

Aren't most of them startups? The point of the article is that this is the first time an oil company is doing it (and they're doing it to inject into fields, not for climate reasons). If Gore is really claiming all carbon capture projects are by oil firms then surely he is lying.

I'm going against the grain here but I don't really subscribe to the starbucks bashing that seems to be a common sport. I don't go to Starbucks very often at all, mostly at airports, but in all honesty I find there's nothing wrong with it. As in: I've had hand-crafted coffees made by no-nonsense barristas with man buns in the most artisan brick-walled coffee shops that you can think of and I didn't think they were a lot better.

Maybe I'm just not enough of a purist though. But then again, probably most people aren't.

Let's not forget what you average cup of coffee was like in America before Starbucks came along.

[...] it’s unlikely (due to the thermodynamics of it) that removing a ton of CO2 will ever get to the point where it requires less energy than the energy produced from burning the fuel that created that ton of CO2.

This argument only works if you want to reverse the entire process, turn the carbon dioxide back into something similar to oil or gas. If you would burn pure hydrocarbons with pure oxygen perfectly, it would be as simple as condensing the water in order to get pure carbon dioxide.
Most nontrivial Django websites also have varying structures. At least they did a decade ago when I was working as a consultant specializing in Django. About as much commonality as Flask. Did Django ever figure out a less verbose way of declaring REST APIs with arbitrary serialization?

Well, magnet-less separately exacted synchronous motors with the exact same architecture have existed since ... checks notes ... over 100 years, so it took me a while to digest the whole marketing fluff where they use an entire page to explain how an electric motor works, and see what's so special about this besides the claim that it's now "up to 90mm more compact axially".

It seems like the big innovation here is that it doesn't use slip rings and brushes anymore, and the power to the rotor is now transferred via induction coils:

"energy is transferred inductively, i.e. without mechanical contact, into the rotor, generating a magnetic field by means of coils. Thus, the I2SM does not require any brush elements or slip rings. Furthermore, there is no longer any need to keep this area dry by means of seals. As with permanently magnetized synchronous motor, the rotor is efficiently cooled by circulating oil."

The good part is there's no more brushes to wear out and no dry seal needed so the motor can now be oil cooled from the inside as well, but to me it raises the big question about the power losses incurred by the energy that's transferred to the rotor via induction versus the previous direct contact via brushes and slip rings.

Those coils seem to be quite far apart from one another, have a look at this moment in their video: https://press.zf.com/press/en/media/media_60352.html?kaltura...
It's just an inductively excited synchronous motor; this is a decades-old design being brought out again to satisfy the current trending buzzwords in the industry.

https://patents.google.com/patent/US3034035A

https://patents.google.com/patent/US3667014

(The most powerful motors have always been wound-field designs, since huge permanent magnets are extremely difficult to make and even more difficult to handle at all.)
I saw a video recently of Tesla bragging that they had a new motor with only 3(?) powerful magnets in it.
This makes me think that less magnets is a good thing - can anyone explain to me the reason to use less magnets in motors? (To me it just seems that less magnets would make it harder to spin with a magnetic field, but I'm no engineer).
What is even going on here?
> In contrast to the magnet-free concepts of so-called separately excited synchronous motors (SESM) already available today, ZF’s I2SM (In-Rotor Inductive-Excited Synchronous Motor) transmits the energy for the magnetic field via an inductive exciter inside the rotor shaft. This makes the motor uniquely compact with maximum power and torque density.

Permanent-magnet-free would be more accurate, this is sort of like a BLDC motor, except that if I understand this correctly they use some kind of wireless charging to power coils on the rotor? Doesn't wireless charging have only like 70% efficiency?
I remember I played a fighting game (a local one without English version) at LAN parties. It was very fun. My friends were all about the same skill level so fights were even.

Later on, there was a tool enabling "virtual LAN" and you can play against players online, over the internet.

And random people beat the shit out of me. Then I just realized that I actually knew like 10% of the game machanism even after hundreds of LAN matches. That was where I stopped playing.
Well according to this link [1] the LD50 for zinc is close to 3 g/kg body weight, more than 10-fold higher than cadmium and 50-fold higher than mercury.

If this is wrong for humans, then the US Govt is certainly not giving a toss about its unqualified statements!

Stomach acid dissolves metallic zinc, producing zinc chloride, which is a corrosive product damaging the stomach lining.

And if the British Govt was really bothered about our health, it wouldnt allow very hard water with lots of lime scale that inhibits zinc uptake, and if the medical experts were that bothered, they would be checking our diets, but they dont, just like they dont bother about tobacco products.

Some many expert criminals its hard to know who to listen to.

Well that's kind of impossible, as alt-tab will show al windows or applications.

The best productivity for me is a separate machine per context (with synergy or similar), because it won't clutter the alt-tab.

Fast userswitching doesn't work, as I'll have to switch back and forth between users (roles actually). I simply want isolated users, with their own filesystem/directory, but still be able to control them at the same time (virtual KVM).

Ideally, I'd create "contexts" or users on my mac, and split / arrange parts of my monitor as desktops. I thought about using parallels or X11 to mimic this behavior, but it simply is not the same.

MacOS's stage manager kind of works, but it's very buggy, and it won't get you an isolated filesystem. I've "solved" having the browser for different purposes by creating separate instances (not just separate profiles, but actual executables) of chrome (dev, social media, general browsing), which helps a lot, but I can't do that with everything

40B tonnes - if this is the only thing we tried to do and did not do any effort in reducing the usage. I don't know if any of those capture projects are ever going to be viable, but this specific opposition doesn't make sense. We're not stopping every other effort to try this thing, so "it won't solve the whole problem" is not a useful comment. No one thing is going to solve this whole problem and nobody is claiming it will.
I know press releases never describe anything that's actually novel, but it looks like they're just describing an asynchronous induction motor? I'm wondering if this release is implicitly pretending that some "low slip ratio" motor is "basically" synchronous

Just guessing, does ZF mostly put out induction motors, and they need to make them look less unfashionable so that people choose them for new designs?

The truth is that in a world without fossil fuels, we may not have the luxury to waste the energy needed for carbon removal.

Working on carbon removal counting on the fact that someone will discover a clean energy that can actually compete with today's use of fossil fuels is close to 4D chess: we don't have that clean energy and it's pretty sure we won't have it in time. Therefore it is probably useless to throw tons of money on CO2 removal.

What is necessary, though, is to stop carbon emissions. We could throw money at isolating buildings, for instance.

The thing is that to reduce carbon emissions, we have to do less. And in a capitalist world, that's hard to accept. We need to change our model of society and accept that economical growth = CO2 emissions.

> It's not philosophy - I did no philosophizing. I am describing many years of experience.

You should look up the meaning of that quote.
Noun class is a benefit for reliable communication, and that's why most languages evolved (and kept) those mechanisms.

Languages are optimized firstly for the people that speak it as their first language. There are some suggestions that in some cases, a group of people that learned a language later in life can influence the development of the language too, but it's not the primary mover. When you are a L1 speaker, the grammatical gender doesn't really require any cognitive effort in most cases.

And there is an actual benefit in a conversation between two proficient speakers: redundancy. If you're in a bar that serves those three kinds of alcohol, if you were speaking a language without grammatical case, you'd only have to miss one word (the alcohol) to misunderstand the order. If there is also a gendered article, you'd be able to mostly understand the order even if you missed the alcohol.

They also let you communicate more complex ideas more easily but letting you use two or more pronouns in parallel without ambiguity. This sentence is confusing in English, but makes total sense in gendered languages: "Hand me the wine and the sangria. It's in the tall bottle, and it's behind that door"

Captured carbon isn’t worthless. It represents an amount of damage that wasn’t done to the environment in the future.

There’s no free lunch here. You either pay the cost now or you pay it later. Florida is already paying since their homes are quickly becoming uninsurable, and that’s not going to get better.
We don't have to reverse the process of creating energy from fuel.

Firstly, we only need to seperate carbon and oxygen.

Secondly, we get thousands of times more energy from the sun than we need.

So even if seperating carbon and oxygen requires energy, that is not fundamentally a problem.
Goodbye, Ruby on Rails
I think it just dictates the number of poles the motor has? The fewer the poles the less torque it has, but higher RPM. Either way you have to gear it down for EV use, so I suppose it doesn't really matter much in the end, except if it makes the rotor less likely to explode.

I would've expected very high pole counts to be more practical though, since a lower RPM is more manageable in terms of bearings wearing out. On the other hand, steppers have a high pole count and their efficiency is crap so maybe they can get more power out with fewer poles.
I don't think manual focus SLRs (If that's what you mean) are going anywhere now, there's widespread popularity for film photography and the "better" cameras (mechanical or reliable) are fetching silly money. And plenty of unreliable, hard-to-repair cameras are also fetching silly money.

BUT - the value prop has totally changed. Running costs are very high, for processing and scanning or printing, and where digital had high upfront costs initially for computers, everyone already has those now anyway. Plus the variety and diversity of film photography has narrowed considerably. I have a Kodak reference manual/catalogue here from the mid-1990s and the variety and versatility of film is something to behold. And that was just Kodak.

Infrared film? Colour or Black and White?
Lith film, Ortho film? Here you go.
Kodachrome? Yes, what speed would you like?

So there were things that digital can't easily do now that film could do, but without the film, that value prop has gone, and film cameras versatility has gone with it. If you, we, I, want film photography to thrive and be more than a dead language, we will really need it to do things that digital can't, apart from being slow, expensive and crap in the eyes of many.

We can absolutely fake that.

I feel most code in Rust falls into the premature optimisation bucket. To prototype/hack something, TypeScript is a much better choice. To then carefully optimise something, Rust is not high-level enough for me, and too restrictive in what you can do. The kind of high-level environment I am looking for here does not exist yet, so I guess people go for Rust because there is no better choice, but it feels like a dead end to me.
Out of interest, what could make such a design better than a traditional inductive motor? Such motors already suffer inductive losses, and do not need slip rings or brushes, and presumably do not an additional set of windings to transfer power to excite the stator?

Just could the two sets of coils be optimized for their own purposes?
Magic has been such a huge part of my life. At my lowest point after moving to a new town, we were gifted a pile of cards from one of my dad’s coworkers. It was the only thing keeping me going and more or less saved my relationship with my dad. It’s still, for me, the best game ever designed and in my 40s with 3 kids I still play and watch hours of content every week. Heck, we even have some hall of famers on our cap sheet at my current startup which somehow fills me with pride.

My son has introduced me to Yu Gi Oh and Pokémon but they both lack the fundamental elegance of MtG. It’s probably not fair to call Magic simple given the size and complexity of the rules at this point, but at the lowest level it really is just about combining simple things to achieve infinite variety. The best cards have short text and chime nicely with the theme of the card and wider story. The worst are like Yu Gi Oh, a page of complex tiny text that tries to do too much.

One of the saddest things is that, as you become better at the game with a deeper grasp of the rules and the cards, you never really recapture that feeling of the early days, when every card was exciting. Draft comes close (picking cards from random booster packs to try and piece together a deck) and Cube certainly captures the nostalgia (drafting with packs made of your favourite or most powerful cards). But still the smell of an opened booster takes you back.

Wizards has made many mistakes over the years and but Magic is extremely healthy and several recent sets have been all-time greats. Both Magic Online (the ugly but fairly complete online client that has _every_ card) and Arena (the more modern client that’s a bit simpler and easier to play but only has recent stuff) are actively maintained so you can play anything, anytime.

My only sadness now is that I never really made it to the pro tour, but there’s always time.
