The most valuable carbon capture would be to do something that turns atmospheric co2 into a solid construction material, like bricks.

Reading between the lines what I'm saying is: Your benchmark is to do better than wood. If you can make bricks faster than a tree can grow wood, this will become an investment rather than money pit.
Oh I do. Just commenting on the visual that is the area. There are better ways to handle it. However pipelines are expensive to build.
Often in Prime I will only have the option to watch the dubbed version (be it French or German) - and a very crappy one at it. I just hate this, especially because I can't even imagine the reason for not serving the original language.

As much as I like my Internet free as in beer, I do think that in order to transition from ad-supported content platforms, some form of micropayment or subscription model works best to support creators and bastions of intelligent discourse. I don't mind chipping in for content, (ie independent reporters on substack, local NPR station, Wikipedia), the value exchange is positive for me.
Yes, my project https://www.oilshell.org/ has been funded by NLnet since 2022, and it's helped a lot. I needed some help to push through a few problems, and that happened :)

It is very forward thinking since we happen to be mostly in North America, but the funding comes from the EU.
Agree, battery life is atrocious. I get typically get 1.5-2 hours on a charge, after 2.5 years of ownership. I always have anxiety about plugging it in. It's the biggest problem with this machine.

Other than that, I have been very happy with it. Keyboard, trackpad, screen - all adequate for me. In every way other than the battery, it pretty much gets out of the way and gets the job done.
It's better in that if say your phone fails, it makes a good fall-back position.

Of course if you can't read a map (and that's a learned skill) or use a compass, then having that kit is of marginal usefulness.

Carrying a little "survival kit" , lighter, compass, map, survival bag (basically a big plastic bag that you can sleep in), pen-knife etc is a really good idea. Weighs very little, and can quite literally save your life.
Yes, but they’ve said it isn’t, which is apparently sufficient even if you run an ad saying “InvestCo is great, you can make a ton of money from them [terms & conditions apply, you may actually lose money instead, not investment advice]”
Helium supply was never really an issue. All the media hit pieces were essentially triggered by the Pentagon stopping to run a price-fixing cartel to the benefit of US universities, who after endless wailing and gnashing of teeth finally adjusted to market prices and such desperate last ditch measures like "we actually have to recycle our helium now and can't just vent it carelessly after every run!!1"
> How is it that we've become so bad at building?

Regulation. No matter how you find it (a drag, useful or even life-saving), one thing is certain: it significantly increases costs and time to build.

Do you know how Golden Gate or the Empire State Building were built on budget and fast? With risks and lost lives.

long covid is not something you can combat with fresh fruits, it can cause a life long disability, brain damage and more. it's quite obvious an anti-vaxxer would try to dismiss it as a "sucks but you can make it through".

If battery life is a focal point, one model that may be worth considering is the HP Dragonfly G4, which from the reviews I’ve seen gets 13-20 hours depending on the test. That’s under Windows though, not sure how it’d fare with Linux.

I’ve been underwhelmed with my ThinkPad’s performance in this aspect and have been considering trading it in for a G4 for this reason.

The inside of The Sphere is so much more impressive than the outside. The resolution/crispness of the “screen” isn’t talked about but it is a unique experience, unlike any venue or film I have ever been to. I went to U2 a few weeks ago and want to go again. The IMAX comparison is not even close, they are calling it 18k and if you can imagine an IMAX screen wrapping all the way over your head you are on the way. I have heard the U2 show is more impressive than the film, but I haven’t seen the film yet.

The only minor difference is about 80 years of economic activity; and a few super secret military projects, including one that helped launch the atomic age.

Also the two cities both have modern engineering marvels in their own right. Just one had a really tall building that served as a symbol of power, but with no real purpose. The other has a massive dam that took amazing diplomacy and bureaucracy to convince 7 states and Mexico to agree to tame a wild and destructive river; in exchange for generating power, and using the revenue to fund itself.
Seems like recreating coal forests would be relatively sane. Everyone likes bogs.
I hate to bring it up, but AI would be perfect for that. It could create logical segues between the new chapter order. So you could basically create books on demand based on real content with only the AI providing context.
In FileMonger[0], which uses Tauri, I have implemented a `Result` logic for errors in TS, similar to what's available in Rust. It's clunkier, but still much preferable to the mess of throwing. Much easier to handle errors and debug.

> WIV collected the viruses from 800mi away which are the known closest relative — but missing the Furin cleavage site.

RaTG13 is not the known closest relative any more and the spike is considerably different and probably doesn't bind to human ACE2. There's also no known evidence that they ever had 'live' RaTG13 or any other SARS-CoV-2-like virus in the lab.

> And as I mentioned before, the only one to asses with moderate rather than low confidence is in that group of 3. When assessing such matters, we need to consider not just the number of analyses, but their relative confidence in their conclusions.

And it seems whatever evidence they have isn't sufficient to convince any of the other intelligence agencies, and they haven't disclosed what that evidence is. So because one intelligence agency says "trust me bro" while the others are unconvinced that makes the one with the strongest opinion clearly the correct one. That isn't a good way to judge truth.

> There was more than one — and they changed their opinion after a phone call, not based on later evidence. Feel free to present the evidence you believe changed his mind.

"I cautioned in that same email that we would need to look at the question much more closely and that our opinions could change within a few days based on new data and analyses — which they did."

"The features in SARS-CoV-2 that initially suggested possible engineering were identified in related coronaviruses, meaning that features that initially looked unusual to us weren’t."

"Many of these analyses were completed in a matter of days, while we worked around the clock, which allowed us to reject our preliminary hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 might have been engineered, while other “lab”-based scenarios were still on the table."

"Yet more extensive analyses, significant additional data and thorough investigations to compare genomic diversity more broadly across coronaviruses led to the peer-reviewed study published in Nature Medicine. For example, we looked at data from coronaviruses found in other species, such as bats and pangolins, which demonstrated that the features that first appeared unique to SARS-CoV-2 were in fact found in other, related viruses."

"Overall, this is a textbook example of the scientific method where a preliminary hypothesis is rejected in favor of a competing hypothesis after more data become available and analyses are completed."

But when you move the laser emitter in your hand you're controlling the speed in that 2d space, not in 3d. You don't ever affect the position of photons in the Z dimension. So you’re not constrained by speed in 3d which would later be slowed down after being projected. So you move your laser emitter along the diagonal of a face with velocity v. And the perceived light which would get projected onto a plane needs to match the position of the emitter on the face. Which creates the illusion that light travelled along the 3d longer diagonal faster than at v (in order to match the projection which describes how you/camera sensor see the light). But in reality the light never travelled along this longer diagonal. It’s only an illusion. And it is this illusion that we’re measuring the speed of. Photons on this diagonal arrived straight from the emitter, i.e. each of them appeared in only one point of the diagonal throughout its entire history. In other words, the photon at the beginning of the perceived movement is a different photon than at the end. They travelled along different paths. And when some photons were at the diagonal, some others were on their way there.
The trouble is, we have to take your word for it that philosophy taught you a lot that the rest of us find useful, as there's little Independent verification. At least with math, or physics, or engineering, there are some fairly standard means for independent verification (tests, job interviews, work product, etc.)

I would expect most people to read code in their IDEs, where small amounts of type inference like this is fine because the IDE tells you what the type is.

I agree that if you spend a lot of time reading code in something like GitHub, not having explicit types is annoying, but seriously, who does that?

Sounds more like an 11 year old stole their parents' rental car and the family turned around and sued the rental car company. It's a stretch to even suggest Omegle was akin to "rental car company" since they didn't charge, it was more like a P2P car sharing app.

> Choice is good

Perhaps, but in this case, the same wheel (a C++ IDE) has been reinvented four times by the same company, whereas the competition (Visual Studio, Xcode) have existed for two decades or more. In this case, choice leads to fragmentation, to lack of focus, to poorer quality, and a focus on 'let's rewrite it again'.
Oh, good, heavyweight error handling just in time for py3.11's zero-cost exception happy path.

But, more generously: why not simply return an error, and use isinstance(val, Error) for error handling? Making objects and calling functions is quite costly, and that can largely be avoided.
>My guess is that if someone were to have offered Mozilla a lot of money and an unlimited timeline to complete Servo, they would have done it.

My understanding is that they tried to do that with VR (turn Servo into the first VR-capable browser and work on browser-technology-based AR overlays) and even had a partnership with Magic Leap at one point, it just never really went anywhere.
As a AMD fanboy, I have been using the Pangolin for a few months now. I can't currently use PopOS (Intune only works on LTE Ubuntu), so I'm not getting the full benefits of the laptop - notably the battery life. I get about 5hr with a pretty big stack of containers running, as well as working in Rider. This is strictly less than the M1 that I was using prior to this laptop. A flight-safe Anker battery pack bumps it up to the 10hr I was hoping for.

Performance-wise? It makes the M1 look like a complete joke. Our MITM proxy (ZScaler, a truly terrible product) is CPU-bound, and the M1 would stutter during large container image pulls. I don't notice pulls on the Pangolin - I just keep working while they happen in the background. Builds are on the order of 30% faster. It also handles two external monitors.

Something is strange with secure boot and the System76 kernel; I just couldn't get it working.

Monitor is average, definitely less usable in sunlight (by virtue of being actually unusable) than Apple's offerings. Keyboard and touchpad are great. I did have some issues with the touchpad, and support told me to (gasp!) open the laptop and make sure the ribbon cable was seated properly - 10/10 repairability.

One problem I’ve experienced doing something like this is you end up with both exceptions and error values since the standard library and 3rd party libraries are still primarily exception based. You either have to live with it or create wrappers that catch errors and return them as values.

I'm so glad I left the nuclear industry thirteen years ago!

I worked in nuclear power for about eight years. I felt like I was taking crazy pills. There's a strong vein of cognitive dissonance running through the industry relating to its economic viability. Nuclear power has always been the most expensive available energy production method. So every time I hear talking heads say "nuclear power is the only power production method that can be built fast enough to address climate change" my blood starts to boil. Every nuclear power plant in history has been pitched as "sure it's stupid expensive up front, but the power it produces will be too cheap to meter". And then they cost 5x as much and take 5x as long as predicted to be built and also cost more than predicted to operate. But the next generation won't have any of the problems that all previous generations had? It's like listening to silicon valley people rave about AI or humanoid robots or driverless cars. "Sure, the past six generations didn't deliver what they promised, don't worry about that, don't think about that, the next one is going to be amazing!"

Goodbye nuclear.
If your only goal is reducing incidence/severity of hurt children, at least two arguments still quickly spring to mind:

(1) Removing the buyers has different macroscopic effects from imprisoning the producers. In a world where private circulation is legal but production is not, the expected result is less production (great!), high prices and incentives for the remaining content (uh-oh), and more creative, intelligent, risk-taking, impoverished (whatever differences make taking the new risks worth it) producers. That long tail is had to crack down on because the high incentives will almost certainly lure in some unsavory individuals. It's a lot like the global ivory trade.

(2) The truth of the following matter is murky to me (and as I understand it, to experts as well; I'd love for somebody else to chime in), but there's an argument that exposure to material at best doesn't help the addiction and is likely to make it worse. CSAM is a bit hard to study, but to the extent that it's comparable to other vices, proxies for murder and rape (movies, games, ...) there's some body of evidence that the substitute behaviors strengthen the addiction and make actual offenses more likely, rather than satiating a need and making real-world offenses less frequent (this is a bit different from the video_games->violence argument because the sample is different and small enough that you wouldn't have necessarily expected that deviant behavior to show up in macro-level stats for a society-wide study).

It's probably worth debating that sort of thing to ensure we're actually going to do some good in the world, but IMO it's a lot more damning that the majority of tech-related CSAM laws are unlikely to help in the manner described, are prone to increasing CSAM issues massively in their secondary effects, have significant other negative collateral, and appear only to be introduced as a Trojan horse for less savory motives. Even if stopping distribution is worthwhile (I think it probably is), the proposed laws are at best totally worthless for the stated goals.
We've taken this approach with var in Java. If we can't tell the type from the right hand side it should be declared on the left.

var m = new Thing(); // you know its a thing

var t = a.b().c(); // what is it?
Re: Battery life, are you using stock Pop OS or did you put something else on? I have also gotten bad battery life but I'm pretty sure it is because I installed over it; the battery life claimns come as a result of power-saving features built into Pop OS.

I don't know Python too well but I think this is covered in TFA. There's a comparison between a Result type using https://github.com/rustedpy/result and an ADT/sum type — and the sum type looks like it's way more ergonomic with Python's current typechecker.

While I like Rust — and Result works really well with `?` — it doesn't actually look like that's the best pattern for Python?
> "Even $5.3B seems very expensive. For reference, (the new Finnish) Olkiluoto-3 was €11 billion, for 1600 MW. The article says 6 77 MW = 539 MW!"*

Olkiluoto-3's materials and labour costs were locked in well before the current inflationary cycle. If they started out today the cost would likely be much higher.

Also, NuScale is a novel new design. SMRs haven't been commercially deployed anywhere yet, so there's a lot of extra risk and cost associated with building and certifying the very first ones. After all, it cost Boeing an awful lot more to produce the first 777 aircraft than it did to knock out the 1000th.
It's not rhetorical. If you can't reconcile both of our opinions, it's not my fault.

I don't know what to tell you. I address your opinions and you frame it as bitching. I express my own opinions and you insist it's bad faith. As I said in the last comment, this is going to end subjectively regardless of how we both feel. Approach this sort of conversation from any other perspective and you'll end up disappointed.

I'm six months into my Python journey. We aren't building a library, so everything runs on 3.11. Having spent most of my career in statically typed and sometimes functional languages, I've found the result package approach and pattern-matching suggestion work well. There's been a suggestion it's not very Pythonic, but I'm willing to continue using a result monad because the trade-off is one-sided; it comfortably pays for itself.
> Are we allowed to say that now?

That depends on where you live...
He explains it in the linked video presentation which is worth watching: the value being that your parser generator will complain about any ambiguity in the grammar (shift-reduce conflicts) rather than having that show up as a “wat?” at runtime.

You might argue that this argument reduces to checking the grammar using static analysis similar to the order generator. But then handwriting the parser is still extra work and risk.
