Ventilation is usually the best way. Even when there is a temperature differential between the outside and inside, it's more economical to heat up / cool down in the new air than trying to scrub CO2 [1]

If you have an air quality concern, you can start by installing an indoor air quality monitor with a CO2 sensor.

One merely needs to look at US history to see that this is incorrect, before the Federal Reserve existed there were several competing bank "currencies" backed by gold that were commonly used instead of gold because they were easier to exchange, but with the knowledge that they could be traded for gold if needed.
Nuclear is, last I checked, the same cost as the combination of PV with a sufficient number of batteries to be the backup.

And for transport we need some kind of storage system regardless (doesn't have to be batteries, but does have to exist), the scale of which is larger than needed to do anything we want with night/clouds/etc. issues with PV.

The factories to make those batteries are being built very quickly.

Not being snarky, but a window is one of the best options. Air conditioners can often be your worst option, as the air is recirculated more aggressively. We use a window fan that has multiple settings: circulate, ingress, egress. I find that no matter what setting you use, air is recirculated significantly well. On hot days, the fan is set on egress. This seems to do a really great job of removing excess CO2 while not bringing that much hot air into the house. We have a window fan running in the kitchen for the bulk of the year. We also find that simply cracking the windows in the winter makes a large and measurable difference in CO2, but not with heat.
Sure. Facebook's platforms are fubar and toxic and deterimental to society and people shouldn't subject themself to them.

I was able to use managed Postgres ~a year ago on Fly.io. They seem to have offloaded its maintenance to Supabase, but it is still seamlessly interfaced with Fly.io.

Moreover, they still allow 1 free db per account:

Are you concerned that it is not directly managed by Fly.io?

The skeptics in this thread have watched LLMS flail trying to produce correct code with their long imperative functions, microservices and magic variables and assumed that their architecture is good and LLMs are bad. They don't realize that there are people 5xing their velocity _with unit tests and documentation_ because they designed their systems to play to the strengths of LLMs.

The technocratic model was dependent on regional execution, and while some of the coastal provinces had fairly motivated and professional cadres, a lot of the interior regions had limited administrative capacity.

Xi's admin (most likely Li Keqiang) pushed a lot of QoL improvements like indoor plumbing, better quality of rural and vocational schools, more efficient distribution of direct benefits, etc but it's still very much a work in progress.

Also, Hu's model was definetly opposed by the "Red Family" due to the corruption and perceived undermining of the values of the Chinese Revolution [0], and they had the pretention of thinking they were much like the "Gang of Four"

It is literally the opposite of escalation. Show strength and shoot down the intruder like Turkey did and Russia will send a delegation to apologize. Or show cowardice and they'll continue violating your border and endangering civilian airliners while their diplomats openly mock you.

Russia responds to strength and those who deny it have not learned anything from history.
The basic problem is not seeking freelance work....seek instead of offer a service...

What is the difference?

1. If seeking freelance work you get put at the bottom of the pay stack!
2. If you research the target buyers and create a buyable sellable service then the pay lever is back in your hands.

Look even Setty states this implied in all the books he has authored.

Now the third point:

3. Product as a service means you have recurring revenue which means less searching for work or in short words. Yes, at first you have a lot of marketing work resulting in 80 hour weeks...but over time that decreases as you get more recurring service contracts...
We can compare the fraction of the Sun's energy that has come from fusion vs. coming from gravitational collapse (that is, the release of energy as the material becomes more tightly gravitationally bound, starting from the diffuse gas cloud that formed the Sun). It's about two orders of magnitude in favor of fusion.

This is related to the historical question of the age of the Earth. Before the discovery of fusion, it was thought the Sun was powered by gravity, which put an upper limit on the age of the Sun of some tens of millions of years. This was close to Lord Kelvin's limit on the age of the Earth as modeled as a solid sphere cooling by conduction, which led him to believe both estimates were correct. As it turns out, both estimates were flawed, but for different reasons, and it was only coincidence they were similar.
Unfortunately we live in a world where in effect, many companies have become, for all practical purposes, cartoon villains. So , lamentably, cartoon villain plots are now reasonably anticipated outcomes.

The only thing missing is the motive of harm, which is handily replaced by the motive of profit with indifference to harm.

My hypothesis is that in his time with the NSA, Snowden witnessed the cartoon-villainy that he called out, and that because of that experience, he identifies this recent event (of appointing an ex-NSA military officer to guide OAI) as a highly probable symptom of further villainy, this time is something arguably more expansive and impactful than FAANG.

It seems to me a rather reasonable conclusion , and framing it in sensational terms as the most reasonable approach to “sound the alarm “- a role that, for better or for worse, Snowden has taken.

Where there is smoke, there is fire is still an extremely useful adage, despite the overt lack of scientific rigor in its application.

This is not what I had in mind when I hoped I would live in interesting times.

I never really used anything pre-google so I dont have enough context.

The yahoo directory page, i found, is very useful for discovery. I spent a good amount of time digging into sub-directories of recent interest for example [0] and found the limited number of links very very refreshing and of high quality. Links work, no ads, and i skipped what i did not think useful without fatigue. 10 mins later, i learned something new.

Google search for the same topic lends 2 screen fulls of ads and a popup asking for permission for my location and then this[1] garbage. 10 mins later, I had just spent time avoiding ads and paid content slop.

A very basic example of why "google it" isn't a great tool for discoverability any more. Simpler tools, better outcomes.

A modern looking, but fundamentally same concept of a categorized, curated directory could very well be an improvement over the current state of affairs.

It will be bad for the landowners who don't actually use the land. Landowners who make their money either renting out the land to others who actually use it well, or who just leave it vacant for 10 years until the value spiked.

Those landowners are nothing but a drag. All the other landowners will have some more tax, but the more they invested in improving the land, the lower the taxes will proportionately be.
I'm mostly thinking of dirt roads which have been treated with a chloride spray. And I'm being a wee bit hyperbolic with the cleanup time, but an hour ride can result in an hour+ of cleanup if I need to get the (corrosive) chloride gunk out of all the bits around brake rotors, in the cassette, and all the little spaces around the crank arms.

We have a lot of very sandy soil around here as well, so if it's really wet the dirt absolutely tears up brake pads.

(That's a worst case.)

A particularly pointed example is the Iceman Cometh Challenge bike race. It's 2-3 hours for most people, but after the bad-conditions years it was common for folks to be replacing brake pads, jockey wheels, and aluminum chainrings. Plus the added suspension seal wear because for most of the event the seals were working hard clearing gunk from the stanchions.

EDIT: Or Barry-Roubaix, a gravel race in Southwest Michigan (US) that's on similar roads. Typically a 2 hour race for the most popular distance, but on some of the wet years it absolutely trashed bikes due to all the abrasive muck being thrown around.

Show HN: DynaUI – Animated UI Library for Developers
Hey there! I'm Sami.

Over the past year, I've been busy building apps for clients, and I always found it challenging to discover a great animated component library.

So, I took it upon myself to learn how to create beautiful animations. It was tough at first, but with persistence and a lot of practice, I eventually started crafting some really impressive animations for my clients!

Now, I'm excited to share some of my favorite creations with you on my platform, DynaUI.

I'd love to hear what you think!
While I agree that under-engineering can be a problem, it's generally very easy to fix by doing what's now clearly identified as missing/needed. Fixing over-engineering is always a nightmare and rarely a success.

IHMO the experience, the pragmatism and the soft skills needed for a successful/productive informal architectural meeting are too rare for this solution to work consistently.

Personally I've abandoned all hope and interest in software architecture, while on paper it makes a lot of sense, in practice (at least in what I do) it just enables way too many people to throw imaginary problems in the mix, distracting everyone from what matters with something that may eventually be a concern once/if a system hits a top-1% level of criticality/scale.
I'm not sure you've said anything that disagrees with me. My claim is that the information in the environment that people are sensitive to causes them to fail to accurately model the scenario. The problem they are solving, in their heads, fails to correspond to reality. My claim is: if it did, then they would solve it correctly.

This is often phrased, typically by self-important mathematicians, that people's understanding of probability is wrong. This is a very bizarre view, and rather self-aggrandizing as far as probability goes.

Probability isn't understanding or formulating the problem. Probability is merely the machinery, very basic, which runs upon a formulation.

Do this instead: run one round of a game with 10 doors, and have people observe Monty opening all the relevant doors.

Why should it be that if people observe this it becomes obvious, and yet if put in natural language it isn't?

Natural language applied to non-intutive ecologies (ie., environments outside those we usually operate in) cause people to fail to model the sitaution correctly.

Take casinos: when animals go out foraging they are playing a slot machine. Their addiction to foraging is perfectly ecologically rational. Casions exploit an information asymmetry: people cannot see the long-run house advantage.

This has nothing to do with people's "probability" skills, and just their ability to accurately understand the sitatuon.

The underlying foolishness behind those who equivocate between "probability" and "modelling scenarios" is the assumption that reality itself has probabilities, and that scenarios are easy to model.

It is incredibly difficult to come up with an accurate cognitive model of wtf is going on in a monty hall game. So much so that famous mathematicians, with arbitrarily good probability skills, get the answer wrong. Teaching people "probability" here is beside the point. Animals are acutely good at it when they are presented with an ecologically intutive problem, of arbitary probablistic complexity.
The launch drone(s) only need enough energy for take-off, not the entire mission, and I'm thinking more like a small swarm of launch drones, not a single 'carrier' behemoth.

But as you say, maybe it makes less sense for these kinds of drone.

The idea comes from thinking about aircraft carriers. A carrier with 50-odd planes is $100B+ crown-jewel target, and in an age of drone swarms, massed smart missiles, etc, it must have a fairly short half-life. An alternative might be to launch single planes from small boats with 'virtual runways'. Pure speculation and thought-experiment of course.
The key thing (as I understand it) is that each process naturally has a relatively small private set of data, so Erlang can use a stop-the-process semispace copying collection strategy and it's fast enough to work out fine.

Since nothing can be writing to it during that anyway, I'm not sure the language level immutability makes a lot of difference to GC itself.
It's my understanding that reduction of silica to metallurgical silicon, which is done in an arc furnace using carbon as the reductant:

SiO2 + 2C --> Si + 2 CO

is best done with charcoal, not coal, due to the porous microstructure of charcoal more effectively interacting with silicon monoxide vapor. So not only is coal not needed, it's not even the best feedstock for this process.
All of these are bing based and/or have US parent Cos. So how exactly are they "European"? A European company put a react UI ontop of the bing API - seriously?

Meanwhile the UK has at least one serious option (e.g https://mojeek.com) with it's own index, possibly larger than yandex and privacy friendly - but can't be included because we're not in the right protectionist club.

Well guys, I hope this works for you. I voted against Brexit, but the behaviour of folks on the continent since has been beyond childish and has been making me reconsider the whole EU concept.
Nope, I'm talking about riding fairly high end gravel bikes on Southeast Michigan (US) dirt roads on which the surface has been treated with a chloride spray which acts as a binder and water repellent for the road surface. The treatment keeps light rain from saturating the road surface, which keeps the road nice for longer.

If it's been wet enough for the surface to get soft and sloppy, once this flings up on a bike it dries hard. This material requires a solid soaking on the bike to get it to soften before it can be cleaned off, and it also is highly corrosive to metal due to the salt content. (Unless it's had time to soak in water runs off of it.) So it takes a fair bit of time and effort, and it's pretty much required that, you get it off of all metal parts including chain, cassette, rotors, bolts, etc. Depending on the ride I've also had to pull the fork because enough has flung up into the lower headset bearing that it'll be problematic if left alone.

By design it doesn't just rinse off, so time and a lot of water and a brush with soap (typically dish soap) and a rag is needed to get it clean and back to a sane state. And sometimes disassembly.

Yeah that's the thing: neither of them is really standard, and both are fairly expensive. They are also available in very limited mechanical configurations (angle, mounting). Fortunately SPE does not really require either of them. In our product we're going with our own solution.
Even 20 years ago, $900 was on the lower side for a serious bike but the big thing to remember is that e-bikes are transformative: they make daily commuting practical for many people who are not avid cyclists and especially so for parents.

That means you should compare them to cars: I bought a cargo e-bike for just under $3k when I needed to take my son and all of his stuff to daycare near my office ~6 miles away. I certainly used to bike that distance before but the weather, workday timing, etc. meant I never did it more than 3 days a week before, but the speed & cargo capacity of the e-bike made it my preferred option every day.

The other people who didn’t live within walking distance all drove, so their trips took longer door to door (congestion around the school alone was 20 minutes) and my expensive e-bike was the equivalent of a couple months of what they spent on SUV payments, parking, gas, and insurance. Plus my son _loved_ going on the bike every day (it helped that we went by the train yard) while most of his classmates protested going in the car because they’re so isolated with nothing to see.
That’s just heat generation, not power.
For power generation a larger generator will be more efficient than a small one.

For heating this does not matter.
Same. The simple fact that every PR can deploy a full stack, including RDS and managed Redis if desired, automatically in it's own namespace with proper DNS pointing to services is a massive win for us. As in, if you label the PR then it all happens automatically and then it all shuts down automatically when the PR is closed.
When using a CO2 sensor in my room, opening a window was very noticeable as a drop in CO2 on the graph.
Periodically open your windows wide. If the CO2 quickly builds up though, you could perhaps just leave some windows cracked open. Or you should get some proper ventilation installed. If CO2 is high then other pollutants are likely also high.
I have one that blows air in from the next room which has an open window.
