I do think Knuth explains things very well. What possibly makes it difficult is he tries to keep it at a fundamental level rather than through the lens of any modern platform. One of the best chapters on random numbers is a good example. Beginner programmers might learn to import random (or secrets), lower level might learn to read from /dev/urandom and OS designers might ask a modern CPU directly. But that's not good enough. All of them depend on the fundamental concepts outlined by Knuth and do will any future computer.
macOCR - macOCR is a command line app that enables you to turn any text on your screen into text on your clipboard. When you envoke the ocr command, a "screen capture" like cursor is shown. Any text within the bounds will be converted to text.

You can install it w/ brew install schappim/ocr/ocr

> > The point is that there is a vast range of processes between nothing and aviation. Something closer to aviation or trains rather than total recklessness is probably more fit for safety critical systems that can kill hundreds to thousands of people.

To me the point is that there are many things that are used by billions of people and can kill thousands of people per incident when things go wrong, if even one such system has zero safety (for whatever reason ranging from
economics to culture) then it makes sense to roll down safety of every other such system to zero as well to pursue quality of life between now and the not so distant moment when something goes wrong

Third wave coffee isn't mainly about espresso in the US, that seems to be an Italian (and Australian) thing.

Of course, the US has always had plenty of Italians - specifically in SF and NYC, where the rich ones gave us Nancy Pelosi and high end grocery stores, while the poor ones gave us all those mafia movies. I'm not sure if Seattle's coffee shops came from them; I always assumed it was just because the weather made everyone depressed.

I think you misunderstand the concern, suppose a user enters gov.mil as a domain to test with which they are unaffiliated.

The tools test it and with disastrous affect all governmental and military services go offline.

It would be reasonable to then take legal action against the platform rather than the user, as the user did not confirm they had permission to perform testing or that they understood the risks involved.

This is why I love Hacker News. Always nice to learn something.

I still think the stats they provide are a bit weird since there is no "unknown" category. If they can't find the backend technology used for 5% of websites, it changes the whole result, and from what I have seen they don't provide this information.

But your really nice and detailed answer tells me I might be wrong once more.

Using nuclear to power carbon capture will only make it more expensive. You do realize that only the cheapest energy is viable for carbon capture?

Also, among "pro nuclear" advocates there is this tendency to blame the problem on "stupid people" (environmentalists, politicians, Chernobyl watchers, etc) but once you disregard that and let them build their project suddenly you get budget overruns, delayed schedules and failed projects and surprise cleanup costs from decommissioning.

There isn't a cosmic irony. People are against nuclear power because frankly: it sucks.

In what way does it solve anything? At that point we built a huge Rube Goldberg machine that burns coal for X energy, spends 2X energy on getting back the carbon (it’s simple entropy), producing that offset from nuclear and renewables.. it may be fun as an art installation somewhere, but to play with this bullshit at the scale of our planet is just ridiculous.

There’s people for whom “slow, and every shot is expensive” is a feature [1] but I agree – especially the loss of (color) film diversity has been hard to swallow and made everything considerably less fun. I still enjoy it, but I don’t know what I’ll do once my stash of deep frozen film runs out. With Fuji most probably having left the game, there won’t be competition for a cheap, basic color film – which IMHO is the thing that’s required to get more people into shooting film.

But.. why? The problem is that we put an insane amount of carbon into the atmosphere from million years old plants that was stored there just fine. If we just continue to circulate the existing amounts (and increase it in a tiny bit slower rate because let’s be honest, that’s the reality) we are not even a bit ahead.

The actual performance of calculating in the OPs example is analogous to the passage of time, as expressed by entropic processes.

> All the fossil-sourced carbon we've put into the air the last 100 years or so was, at one point or another put into the ground, mostly by vegetation.

As I understand it, carbon comes from plant matter indeed, back from the Carboniferous period. Back then no life form had evolved that was able to break down wood lignin, so wood could not decompose. That stopped around 300 million years ago when certain fungi evolved, which is why carbon is no longer produced and thus remains a fossil fuel.

Forests are essentially carbon neutral according to every source I can find. I'll be happy to learn otherwise.

You can, but see, the actual contents of the strings are really only used at the code-gen stage, where it's put verbatim in the .rodata section. Arguably, it could have been discarded by the dead-code elimination pass by that time but that's unlikely: most of the string constants do actually see use in the program.

Pushing that part of the lexer's task so late on the off-chance it probably won't be needed IMHO only makes sense if you're writing a parser for an IDE/LSP in which case you don't need to unescape the string at all.

I don't think you understand the selling point of these.

An ex of mine had a Polaroid, and had taken hundreds of pictures with friends and family, all cherished and passed to loved ones.

There's something special and somehow human about small, candid, imperfect photos that hits just right on memory lane and evokes nostalgia. It's more than just what it presents, it's about what it represents, and about the experience itself.

It stops being just a photo. Looking at it and going down memory lane is an experience in and of itself. You get to live that with your eyes, your fingers, your ears, and your nose even, and at the same time you can share them with others. At the same time you evoke the feelings and experiences from when you took it.

Every time you look at that picture you don't just remember what it depicts, you also experience every other time you experienced it.

That's just something no digital photo will ever be able to capture.

The point is that the mass of the air has to be moved through the system somehow - the energy required to pump it through would offset any capture
No.

You're probably confusing carbon capture in general (which already exists in some quantities, although still small to what would be meaningful) with DAC. For the latter, Climeworks is kinda the leader, which is an independent startup. But even there, there's also carbon engineering, which is funded and owned by oil corps. (You may still call that a startup in the sense that it's a relatively young company trying something new, but well...)

But for carbon capture in general, all the large players are fossil fuel corps. Equinor in Norway, Shell in Canada, etc., all big oil. The only meaningful player that is not fossil fuel associated is Carbfix in Iceland.

The problem is not trying it, the problem is painting it as a solution for continued fossil fuel exploration.

If we could agree that carbon capture is a small part of the solution, direct air capture an even smaller part, and the primary goal needs to be phasing down fossil fuel production, that would be fine. But there is no such agreement, and many major players in both the CCS and DAC space explicitly advertise their tech as a replacement for fossil fuel phasedown, not as an addition.

Really curious to read the negative responses to this. We now know a great deal about how the body stores affective learning somatically, and how systems from the endocrine system to the gut microbiome interact with the central nervous system and brain to generate and modify emotions. Emotions are to an extent cognitive interpretations of autonomic bodily responses. I can see the appeal of dualism, but it's in conflict with the measurable impact on emotional learning, memory and expression observed in numerous somatic disease processes.

"Without the bodily states following on the perception, the latter would be purely cognitive in form, pale, colourless, destitute of emotional warmth."

We can actually observe this in patients with severe quadriplegia, where affect becomes flattened over time as 'polling' somatic responses becomes muted. Similarly we see changes in emotional sensitivity and expression when the gut microbiome is disrupted, when the endocrine systems is dysfunctional, or from numerous other organic disease processes.

The problem is more complicated than that, because psychopaths traits (and even just sociopath ones) makes you more efficient at certain things.

Some clients will only work with you if you accept to bend the rules or lower your morality standards.

I'd assume that the benchmark is showcasing the gains of the async model, more than making a point that native python is faster than C. The issue is ultimately: how much of the functionality available through libpq is not yet backported to asyncpg (i imagine it's nonzero, but Idon'tknow the answer). Which is why the pragmatic in me still prefer a middle layer like libpq in between.
> Is it possible that we one day find a way to "dig it up from the air

That makes zero sense — thermodynamics prefer lower energy states. Coal burns on its own, so that’s the direction of the reaction. It doesn’t become coal on its own, so you have to put energy into that and you net lose on that.
These dismissive "oh this big event that's just occurred is uninteresting" comments on HN are always so weird. Like just because you don't see the ramifications doesn't mean they don't exist, why not keep an open mind?

I agree with you on the energy use. Even more so because the peak of cooling demand corresponds very well with the peak of PV energy production. If the system is well designed, cooling using an efficient split AC unit will be almost free. Besides, if they really don't want people to adopt AC it's high time to start adapting buildings and cities for hot summers , which means reducing the amount of paved surfaces, planting more trees, adding forced ventilation to buildings and blinds that really darken rooms.
