If there is really that much excess capacity, there is plenty of overhead to do something useful with it that actually offsets fossil sources. Like splitting water to create Hydrogen or CO2 capture. It's not a very efficient process, but it doesn't matter if you have that much energy to spare.

If it's really once in a while when it's exceptionally sunny that they do it, there's no point in doing this at all because the cost (and high depreciation) of the mining rigs makes no sense if you don't run them very often.

Either way it's a bad solution to invest energy into some made-up assets, considering how bad the climate crisis already is.

I'm not against crypto per se, but proof of work really needs to die. It's a relic from a bygone worry-free era that will never come back. It will only lead to ever more energy usage. And we will not be out of the woods for a century even if we do do everything possible.

This is what life looks like under a duopsony -- where there are essentially only two buyers for pharmacy labor. Individual pharmacists have enormous sunk costs in terms of 4 years of specialized schooling. There is nowhere for them to go, outside of a smattering of independent pharmacies who are themselves getting crushed because of a lack of bargaining power with PBMs. The outcome of an unregulated free market is misery for employees, bad experiences for customers, and billions in profit for corporations.
That's fair, I don't even hold my own opinion. I like talking about extremes in so much as what I learn from other people and by looking at the thread it seems to have done the job. You have the benefit of not knowing me, but I suspect if you'd ask one of my friends this entire thread is almost distinctly the opposite of my view on business and legislation.
Well, the way quaternions model rotation is by unit quaternions (the unit vectors in 4-space) acting on pure imaginary quaternions ai + bj + ck. The unit quaternions form a 3 dimensional space called the 3-sphere or SU(2). But 3 variables isn't enough parameters to describe the 3-sphere completely (it will always miss at least 1 point). So there's half a fix to your objection!
there used to be buttons for that but then they figured out providing less buttons and instead horrible menus for button things was cheaper.
I wondered the same thing but then I concluded it was coincidental. If you're trying to filter for meteorites, you're going to be using that exactly hardware (a wire mesh basket), using a level of magnification that gives a view of the retained object, whose size is similar to the mesh screen hole diameter.

I would imagine that the props department went to a nearby micrometerologist who gave them a basket with a micron mesh and maybe some small volcanic rocks.

I've had this happen to me a few times, also with French <-> English translations, but I don't think it was due to typos in every case.

One case was a terms and conditions thing, where the translation claimed that the supplier would assume all liability for misuse of the product, which was clearly not what the French (or common sense) intended.
See table 7 in https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-91554-z

Carrot is just one example. 0.027 mg lead / kg carrot.

Or 0.027 micrograms lead / g carrot.

According to the asyousow.org report linked above more than 0.5 micrograms lead per day is bad, which is just 20g (0.7oz) of fresh carrot.

Celery and beetroot are not far off either, around half the lead of carrot by weight.
There are many other vegetables, from which other parts than the seeds are eaten, and which provide large amounts of biologically active phytochemicals.

Seeds, like those of cereals or of legumes, are a necessary part of food because they are the only part of the plants with high content of proteins.

Because of their disadvantage of also concentrating pollutants, it is preferable to use them mainly as a source of proteins and starch, which does not require the use of whole grains, and to get any desirable phytochemicals from other parts of plants.

In the case of oily seeds, the extracted oils (if they are obtained by cold pressing or supercritical carbon dioxide extraction) contain most of the phytochemicals but much less of the heavy metals. For instance, cold-pressed sunflower oil is a better source of phytochemicals than raw sunflower seeds, because the latter, like cocoa, have frequently high contents of lead and cadmium.

So there are ways of processing that improve the quality of the food ingredients. The kinds of processing that are bad are typically those which add undesirable substances to food, not those which remove undesirable substances from food.

I can't see a picture of the concave shape, I was under the impression that the design is that one third of the sphere is collapsed inside itself to make a nice concave antenna that's cheap and light - is this what's happenning?

Edit0: Nope! Part of the sphere is transparent, and the inside is reflective. Nothing collapsed.

And it's working very similarily to a normal parabolic antennae, but being inflatable it's way lighter/smaller, leaving more weight and room for power and instruments. Massive win!

Remember when they used to call that like $40k for the house? Neither do I. I'm certain the use of the argument of zoning and Georgian taxation in addressing these issues is being employed to distract from the more pertinent variable of speculation and hording within metropolitan areas, in addition to the Airbnb cancer. I guess the actual humans that still own homes are the only ones that feel like they have a future, the preserved zoo-like animals of the alleged middle-class.
Not quite smoking (in the sense of using pipes), as he describes them as throwing cannabis seeds on hot stones and inhaling the smoke. I mention it in my Lapham's Quarterly article:

“The Scythians then take the seed of this hemp [kannabis] and, crawling in under the mats, throw it on the red-hot stones, where it smolders and sends forth such fumes that no Greek vapor bath could surpass it. The Scythians howl in their joy at the vapor bath.”

One thing that's interesting about this is that "Scythian" was a pretty broad category in Herodotus's time, in some senses meaning a specific tribe around present-day Bulgaria, in others broadly referring to something like "Indo-European nomadic horse people." So it could be that Herodotus is actually passing along an account of Indo-Aryan or Indo-Scythian practice that is part of the larger South Asian culture of cannabis use (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Scythians).
A bit more data - at the start of the conflict, some 47% of the residents in Gaza were children (under 18). Hamas gained power in Gaza in 2005 and 2006.

Another way to put it, almost half of the residents were not even alive or babies when Hamas was put into power.

Meta, but the way you felt you had to word your opinion really rubs me the wrong way.

Are we really at a point where we need to have a preface, two mid-sentence disclaimers, and carefully worded language just so one does not get torn apart by one's own in-group?

If that's where we're at, I'd sooner support the other camp, whatever it is.
Your comment makes me wonder what the relative total cost of a horse vs a car is.

My point isn’t that they should (my wife didn’t) only that it’s very common for them to do this so thinking of names as mostly immutable is incorrect even where other forms of name changes are rare.

This is in fact one of the iconic places where lack of diversity in software teams cause problems. Men may have a blind spot around name changes that women don’t, because of their lived experience.
> it would be interesting to be evaluate whether the antibodies actually have an effect, but they probably have, else they likely wouldn't have been detected at all.

You're right. The antibodies to PEG are detected after a very severe reaction or after testing following many bad reactions to seemingly unrelated substances so for some people it's having a very harmful effect. PEG can even cause anaphylaxis. Reactions can become increasingly severe with repeated exposure too, so someone mildly sensitive to PEG today could end up in the ER at some point in the future.

Our bodies seem to see PEG as a hazard so I hope alternatives are found for it.
Self-driving is a distraction from the fundamentally unsustainable car-centric world we've built. Would it be nice to have? Sure. Will it solve the underlying problems? No.

All countries should be moving towards what the Netherlands is doing. Yeah, the 588 cars/1000 people [1] isn't ideal, but it sure beats the 908/1000 of the US.

Also, I think car ownership may not be the right metric to look at, most journeys are probably made by the young - commuting, etc. I wonder what the stats look like when adjusted for miles driven, considering car ownership in the NL for the 18-29 age bracket is low and slowly dropping.

> The mining must continue. Mined blocks allow transactions to occur. Without mining there is no transactions either.

Yes. BUT, the energy used for the actual transaction processing is negligible compared to the energy wasted on the random number hashing that is mining.

I could probably process all the world's bitcoin transactions on a raspberry pi in realtime if this hadn't been artificially coupled to doing a ton of mathematical busywork.

Of course there is a reason for this busywork, meaning not everyone can do it. But this busywork really should be replaced with something less harmful to the environment like the proof of stake ETH has implemented now.

I really wonder if the Android engineers just use iPhones. Quite a few of the security isolations/sandboxing have lead to some of the more basic usability bugs.

My dad hit one a few days ago, complained he couldn't restart his phone. I proceeded to watch him hold down the volume and power button to get the prompt to shutdown/reboot. Upon clicking, it did nothing. So I tried it then, still nothing. Realized at this point that the device had lockscreen locked. After unlocking the screen and repeating this it rebooted fine. (My first gut reaction was 'can't you just hold power button to get the reboot screen?', but nope that pops up some google assistant crap instead, so now he has to juggle not having it screenshot each time he needs to shut it off or restart it)

> instead asks Reddit for permission to post

Not "instead" but "in addition to". And the reason it is requesting permission to post is separate from "checking the subreddits", it is (like I said) because there are already people who asked for the ability to respond to a comment on reddit from a lemmy thread, and I (admittedly) didn't bother (yet) to write two oauth flows for these two separate actions when one is faster to implement and easier for people to understand.

> I have observed the wrong thing happening?

Have you seen or heard anyone complaining about the application sending posts when it shouldn't? If not, there is nothing objectively wrong with it.

You might be concerned about potential issues with this approach and I completely agree that it is not ideal, but between spending time to (a) write a whole new OAuth adapter class to handle the different requests or (b) creating 15 new different lemmy instances and mapping 175 subreddits to Lemmy communities - which one do you think is more helpful to the goals of the project?

EU legislation previously mandated micro USB on phones. That didn't seem to kill innovation, we still got USB-C. The only thing it killed was every manufacturer using a different bad connector. I don't see any downsides.

> Legislation mandating USB-C will lead to stagnation there.

Really? What more do we need out of current USB-C specifications that isn't covered in the Thunderbolt spec? That's ~240w of power at max (iirc) and more data throughput than your CPU can shake a stick at.

If you're suggesting that someone creates a new connector to replace USB-C, they can still do that. They just have to do it through USB-IF and ensure that it's a community effort, not a competitive one. Commodity hardware should not ship with licensed serial/data connector hardware in 2023.

> Though I’m perplexed as to why they added HDMI and SD card slots back on the Mac

My guess is that Thunderbolt requires a lot of throughput, and if you're not using Intel IO controllers it's hard to guarantee it. AMD has also struggled in this department, despite shipping arguably more advanced CPUs for a while now. It wouldn't surprise me if the original M1 was only specced for 2-3 lanes of TB4, and went with lower-bandwidth connectors to put the extra capacity to use.
Bitcoin will start doing a lot better for sure because another block halving is coming up.

> “I think what people are still coming to grips with is realizing that actually there was a lot of optimism in the beginning of the internet,” Dutilh Novaes said. We expected that more freely available information would lead to more transparency and less confusion. Instead, we’ve been disappointed to discover that even in an information golden age, people can still be wrong.

Yeah... I think some of that optimism may have come from selection-bias within the earlier internet population, which trended towards certain interests and educations.

For example the folks who wanted to mindlessly consume opinions from TV news anchors or celebrities weren't there yet because the bandwidth/resolution capabilities couldn't compete with what they got from the TV, and few celebrities were interested in setting up a presence with a blog, BBS, or web-forum.

Not really. It just increases the price on it. After all energy is not free as it is. The proof of work scheme will lead to an ever-increasing energy usage. It's just hardcoded into the system. Carbon tax will just price it so that it will accelerate a bit slower.
Is our humanity really so far gone? At this rate, researchers should come together and refuse to publish further research in this area.

I would hope UN can come together and at a minimum make an arms treaty to limit/prevent/undo development of AI tools that track/hurt individual humans this way. At a pathetic bare-bones minimum, these drones should never be allowed to kill or maim humans autonomously, and must be hardcoded to "accept a surrender" if someone stops holding their hands up.

If we limited chemical weapons, we can limit these terrifying abominations too.
