I love Rust, but I don't really care what language my editor is built in.

That said, I'll give this a shot because:

- no funky telemetry
- the stack used (wgpu etc) means this might be sufficiently low level to be much more resource efficient than alternatives
- it sounds like the plugin architecture will allow for a vibrant extension ecosystem if this gets some adoption
it's horrifying how much software operates in defiance of consent.

Semantic. Specifically, showing the synonym relationships in the WordNet database. Those are manually constructed.
That is disingenuous and misleading - some species of plants can use more available CO2 but not all can (there are other limiting factors in many cases as I understand it), but for sure most plants will be far, far more affected by the extremely significant negative effects of climate change than the small positive contribution of extra CO2 for photosynthesis.
"Use DEXes plus stablecoins"

The trouble is, neither of those make money if run honestly. A true distributed exchange never has custody of anything. So there's no opportunity to steal or speculate with customer funds. (Front-running remains a possibility). It's just a back-end data service. It has to charge a commission. Most crypto exchanges are free to use; they make money either by stealing or manipulation.

Much the same is true for stablecoins. Tether just printed another billion dollars worth of Tether. Nobody deposited a billion dollars worth of USD. USDC is supposedly backed by U.S. Government securities, but is not formally audited.

Overbuilding wind and using HVDC transmission to move it around is sometimes cheaper than battery storage since it compliments solar peak times well.

Haha, made me laugh out loud at how true this statement feels, even though it is probably not true:

"If you don't enjoy programming, don't worry, it is not your fault. Thousands of people around the world work hard day and night to make programming as miserable for you as possible."
It's interesting that some of those sounds are not unique to Mexico City, or Mexico.
Honestly, in my experience there's nothing wrong with this line of thinking as long as you also consider that the product you're shipping to other devs is in service of a much more important and larger product/service in itself. Thinking of your service as a product keeps you thinking of the use cases, the potential errors and the DX of what you're shipping which is a good thing I say as long as you're not building pies in the sky. As with most things, it comes down to good planning

>It's much simpler, proprietary writing is now integrated into the source code of OpenAI

The source code of the LLM is likely a few hundred lines of text describing the shape of the neural networks involved in the model.

None of the NYTimes content will be in the source code. NYTimes doesn't publish Python source code, it publishes human language news.

LLMs are conceptually simple, mostly matrix multiplications and some non-linear operations connecting each layer, in some loops based on attention, etc. It's the staggering amount of training data and compute that makes them complex.

Copilot is amazing. It single handedly returned me to the Microsoft ecosystem and changed the way I use the Internet. Huggingface is another great AI, I've used Githubs a bit, Codium a bit - all of these things are amazing.

Good thing ! 60 % to go urgently.

The US has the biggest responsability on this planet, being the largest rich country, having emitted more than twice the CO2 per capita of Europe in the recent decades.

Can't expect pour countries to go quicker than the US.

Here's the National Renewable Energy Laboratory site saying large solar farms are $1.06 per watt, fully installed and operational. [1]

Also the 2,245 mW solar farm of Bhadla Solar Park cost $2.175 billion [2]. Less that $1/watt. Let's just build three of those and we're good for our 7mW of solar, proven very doable.

> Also FFS were comparing a nuclear reactor to residential solar

No, we're comparing it to solar farms.

> Let’s just step away from this poorly thought out hypothetical…ask yourself why solar is barely producing any power. Theres a massive financial incentive here. Is everyone stupid? Are you a genius that noticed something everyone else missed?

The nuke we're talking about started construction more than 20 years ago. Obviously back then the calculation was very different. The value proposition for solar + storage is changing much, much faster than almost everyone realizes, and will continue to do so.

Also it would be good if you didn't resort to ad hominem attacks. If my "napkin math" is grossly wrong, please correct it. There is no need to attack me.

With the established science thing many counterexamples exist, also recent ones. We are now seeing bad outbreaks of preventable disease in undervaccinated communities, because parents increasingly subscribe to unscientific antivax theories.

Or corporal punishment, where scientific consensus since 1990s is that it is harmful. The countries which have banned it since did so ahead of change in public opinion.

There are times when the government is wrong, but it is by far more right than wrong. Thanks to government intervention we saw childhood mortality drop from the high levels in previous centuries, and letting parents just do their thing would eliminate much of that progress.

I agree having a translation would be good, but also everyone that lives in Mexico already is very familiar with all of this.

It's not just the car honks. The various noises of the street are an essential part of daily life there, both in CDMX and even in rural areas far from it. I spent some months in both some years ago and you learn the honks on like day one so you don't get run over. You learn all the local jingles within a week or two, because you just have to. The water and gas sellers are easy enough because they just yell or use a tape recording. You learn the cow bell is the trash service. The steam whistle is the sweet potato roasters. The little flute trill is the knife sharpeners. Other vendors all tend to use the same recorded jingle for whatever they're offering.

Mexico is an amazingly pragmatic place where all these various signals emerged organically and are an integral part of daily life. I'll remember the recording for the tamale vendors[1] and the gas de oaxaca jingle[2] for the rest of my life.

A much more difficult one to learn is the whistles used up in the mountains of Oaxaca. These date back to ancient times and people can use them to communicate huge distances, from one side of a valley to another[3].

There are many different screen resolutions. Being able to adjust the application based on available space makes the application usable to more people.
On longer time scales, in another century or two we could potentially deploy fusion at scale, depending on how that works out relative to space-based solar. In this one though, I'd agree the most effective way forward would be the one naturally arises without assuming massive changes to cost trajectories.
Much more than 60% to go, as all the non-electricity fossil fuel use (heating, transport, industry) will also need to be replaced by emissions free electric alternatives.
The actual "ideal" rotation for maximum line length would be closer to 23° rather than 22°, right? Because Atan(9/21) = 23.20°.

Also... could we go further? If we're treating the screen's content as an arbitrary plane, what about tilting the content of screen away from you like SNES Mode 7 or the Star Wars text crawl? Infinite screen height!
You are comparing to the worst case scenario of catastrophic nuclear overbudgeting. Normally nuclear plants don’t cost nearly as much.

Korea has built 5.6 GW Barakah NPP for about 25B dollars. It took less than 8 years. Russia is building its standard VVER-1200 reactors at about 10-15B for 2.4 GW

China is building its reactors at about 5B per 1.2 GW reactor.

These costs might fall further if standardized designs get deployed at larger scales, just like with solar.

Given steady and predictable generation regardless of weather and location that nuclear can provide, your numbers don’t look that impressive now, do they?
I see. I thought I had some .emacs customized settings I could share, but they're all slime specific.

1. Without a clearer spec, we should not assume the user wants any repeats at all.

2. Your claim is not even true as written.

I predict that the next generation crypto wallet will come from large companies like JPMorgan, Lloyds Bank, HSBC, Microsoft, Apple, X, etc... they will make the crypto wallet look just like a normal app and provide security, insurance, etc and they will deal with the seed phrases, scammers etc in the back end. So basically things will look almost the same as today's banking apps, except the back end will be powered less by traditional FIAT money rails and more by crypto technology

We have just barely started investing into the extremely large solar projects that could easily change that 1.6% figure you quoted. I also don’t know if that number included behind-the-meter residential solar which is mostly what we have in the United States right now.

As a small example of how renewables can change I would examine wind power in the UK.

Yeah; and there's so many little features like that - most of which I use rarely, but they're still useful. Aside from rename, there are:

- Change function arguments. (Eg, reorder the arguments of a function and update all callers)

- Add a new function argument. Eg, if I change a call from foo() to foo(some_int), the suggested actions include adding a new parameter to foo with some_int's type.

- Contextually fill in trait, struct, or match statements

- Move a bunch of stuff to a new / different file

- Organize imports

- Run a test. Anything function with #[test] and no arguments can be run or debugged instantly with the click of the mouse.

- Up and down buttons for trait implementations. See the definition for a trait method, or jump to one of its implementations.

I have no idea how to do any of this stuff in vim. Maybe its possible with enough macros and scripts and mucking about. I really do admire vim's tenacity, but seriously. The time spent learning a modern IDE pays dividends in weeks and our careers are measured in decades.

It's hopeless at this point. We have no chance to stop this when our elected representatives put up zero fight to achieve the one bipartisan objective that's emerged this Congress; namely, protecting their constituents (the people who voted for them) from unconstitutional intrusions into their personal lives.
20 Meters is quite short, so assuming a certain speed, there might only be a few GPS probes for each pass, that might also look as if they were outliers.
Which isn't trivial but there is no perfect solution, even wind and solar have externalities. We will always have some impact on the planet, but I will take erosion over a totally broken ecosystem. Erosion is inevitable over time, and if we don't reduce emissions and the seas rise, erosion will be abit of a moot point.
Yes, indirectly. You cannot advertise to a dead person.

From the Zen of Python:

There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.

Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
It's completely fine to be uninformed, still learning, or even uninterested. But writing bold, naïve statements instead of asking questions does not contribute anything.

You could have written: "Why do we need to reduce CO2 if plants thrive on it?". Then, someone might have invested a bit of time and effort in you and the audience to share their knowledge.
Perhaps the “store of value” use case. Buying and selling physical gold bars adds significant overhead costs as well.

But generally I agree with you, the fees are a big problem.
How problematic is a 0.3% fee? If the two options were otherwise equal, I think most users would rather pay that than deal with potentially losing their funds altogether due to fraud or insolvency.
Great. How about the % of energy consumption?
You're totally wrong.

The IDEs I was making in VB6 in the 90s I'm making about twice as quick in Visual Studio 2022 in C# with WinForms.

The high transaction fees are intentional and a symptom of a sick system which allows people to profit from inefficiency.

The higher the transaction fees, the more validators earn. There is no incentive to build tech which will lower transaction fees, even though it would enable practical use cases. Ethereum community is not interested in value creation because they know that value creation doesn't pay. They can earn more money just monopolizing media attention, attracting new investors and lobbying (aka corrupting) politicians.

Having worked in the industry, I've witnessed how they literally suppress innovations which would result in more scalability and lower fees. They only embrace solutions that are flawed by design to create an illusion that they're trying. Billions of dollars are literally wasted just to maintain the illusion.

I don't know where all that money is coming from. The crypto folks are clearly right about one thing; the monetary system is broken... But they seem to be making more money keeping it broken than fixing it.
