Why doesn't the obvious thing, i.e., making charcoal, work? You can call it "biochar" if you want. A big pile runs the risk of catching fire, but if it's mixed with soil I'd think it won't burn. Is there some slow oxidation process to worry about? I'd think that charcoal briquettes, pencil leads, and soot would all last essentially forever.

Plus, you can harness the pretty-high-grade heat energy extracted during the charcoal-making, to run heat engines or for other uses. So it's basically a way to use biology to get some solar power, and to sequester carbon at the same time.

If you're talking about only the charcoal-making, then this is prehistoric technology, and if you throw heat engines into the mix then you're at maybe an 1880s tech level. Seems easy?

I guess the "giant pile of frozen vegetables" method is even simpler in some ways (pipes being the only tech), but it also seems less stable, and it doesn't return the non-carbon nutrients to the soil.

What am I missing?

Much different than the self study route I chose back in the early '80s. 41 years ago next month I worked up enough courage to call one of the local radio amateurs and scheduling the Novice license exam with him which he was glad to do. Of course, I had some trepidation as I didn't want to inconvenience him but I quickly got over that as most hams are more than willing to assist the newcomer.

The way new hams enter and interact with the rest of the amateur radio world has changed dramatically over that time span. It saddens me a bit each time I read that someone received the "get off my lawn" impression from their first contacts in the hobby. Hopefully such instances are rare and the result of miscommunication/misunderstanding rather than ill intent from either party.

What is bullshit is the attempt to appropriate a useful neutral adjective to mean more than it does. Mathy is just mathy. Physics is more mathy than psychology. Too mathy can be bad, sure.
Yeah. I know React quite well, there are legitimate use cases where it shines, but...

What we've lost is the ability to say "let's make a website today" and just start making UI without build tools or crazy install trees or massive libraries that need maintenance and security updates, and drop it on a server somewhere.

I keep thinking I can have that back... ES6 imports are fully supported now, modern CSS is amazing, all we really need is an SSR/a11y-friendly way to do some kind of nestable HTML macro/component, and we can party like it's 2007 (but with grid, and import statements, and all the other new shiny objects).

I wouldn’t bet against you. He has only 27 years left until he is 80. Maybe he will get 100 years old, maybe he will get a heart infarct next year.

But this will make the matter more urgent for him, there is no reason for him to take it slow and steady, the opposite, he will push Starship hard. The next few years it will be vital for NASAs Moon landing. And after establishing a fuel depot in Earth orbit, which sounds science fiction now but is the plan for Artemis III, there will be whole new possibilities.
I share some of TFA criticism: syntax highlighting just emphasizes what you should already see without it. The word "return" is a keyword of the language, you don't need it to be visually different from the rest to recognize it.

On the other hand, highlighting could help you with semantic. For example rendering in a different color a word that's not been declared/defined before would be greatly valuable. Telling a variable from a type would also be helpful in C-like languages (no, current syntax highlighting schemes don't do this, not even the ones backed by tree-sitter). What about a switch to grey out all local/static definitions and thus emphasize only exported/public ones?

CBD is a differentiated byproduct of CBGA FWIU.

For: Epilepsy, Seizures, Schizophrenia, Mosquito control

Bats, Dragonflies, and Mosquito Fish all eat mosquitos.

Watercress roots filter water and harbor algae which fish eat too.

Algae produces fat soluble DHA and EPA Omega-3 PUFAs polyunsaturated fatty acids, which the mammalian (and almost drosophila) ECS Endocannabinoid system appears to synthesize endocannabinoids from. Endogenous cannabinoids are sensitive to consumption levels of Omega 6s and Omega 3; and endogenous cannabinoids are synthesized from Omegas.

Minnows, goldfish, guppies, bass, bluegill, and catfish all eat mosquito larvae.

CBD kills mosquitoes?

Early mammals - the water rat - probably ate small fish like minnows and sardines, which are high in Omega 3s.

The point is it doesn’t matter what you measure
But the designers of early micros did need to limit themselves, and they proved that those limits were not insurmountable. The luxuries afforded by kilowatts of electricity and cubic meters of space were beyond the reach of early micros. You may sneer at the fruits of their labors, but for a large number of people across an entire generation, these devices were accessible to them when room-sized computers weren't.

Taking such a hostile tone over what is obviously already settled seems strange to me. Of course you don't design modern systems with 8-bit words. There are many advantages to larger words besides those I mentioned or implied. But calling the elements which were good enough for the second wave of the computer revolution completely impractical is also absurd to me.

We are based on DBSP (https://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol16/p1601-budiu.pdf) which is an evolution of DD. DBSP gives us an algorithm to take arbitrarily complex queries and generate an incremental version of it.

As a consequence, we evaluate everything incrementally. For example, we are the only engine that can perform rolling aggregates incrementally. In general, with DBSP, we can incrementalize "the full relational algebra, queries over sets and multisets, arbitrarily nested relations, aggregation, flatmap (unnest), monotonic and non-monotonic recursion, streaming aggregation, and arbitrary compositions of all of these". DBSP is a much simpler and cleaner foundation.

As a product, both our enterprise and open-source (MIT licensed) offerings let you run it anywhere you want including your laptop.

Positioning wise, we are a query engine with a unified way to compute over both bounded and unbounded data sources with perfect consistency, with an integrated storage layer. Materialize is going for building an operational warehouse.

Sure, there is some pain but after years of several Angular and a Vue migration, I'd say that pain is much less than the pain of framework migration. People often overlook the experience of a framework for a long term use.
Well, it's on a software component by component basis, so not much they could have done here, I guess. Look for any settings or in-code references related to ssl/tls. You then may find references to some local paths, pointing to certificate files. Or to cert strings compiled into the binaries. Depending on the details, this may indicate pinned certs.

I read somewhere (maybe in Thinking, Fast and Slow?), that formulas like this can actually be surprisingly effective, even though the units don’t make sense, because they encode an intuition but prevent you from putting your finger on the scale when applying it, by mixing in other biases. IIRC, the studies on this found that trying to tune these formulas by adding in weights tended to make them worse, which is especially surprising.

I’ll have to see if I can dig up the reference on this.
I'm not really disagreeing (as GDP is a crude measure), but rather thinking out loud. I don't think my individual life satisfaction and optimism should be influenced by nation-state economics to the extent that that's what they're optimizing for. The job of my government is to create the conditions for security, prosperity and opportunity without oppressing the rest of the world or destroying the planet. But it's up to me to find a satisfying life within that and that is possible within drastically different economic and social structures. Similarly, there's probably not a set of conditions that gives universal satisfaction to all citizens, so what summary statistics of life satisfaction and optimism do we optimize for?
Simple math unfortunately.

To offset global human CO2 production you'd need to biochar all plant matter several times a year.
The interface provided by the ChatGPT website does not return URLs and does not directly visit ones that you provide, either. Those functions are restricted to Custom GPTs and the API.

When you provide a URL, what actually happens is that it uses its built-in search (Bing) to search for that URL, then visits that page. If that doesn't give satisfactory results, that would explain the suggestion that you search elsewhere.

In other words, ChatGPT the website is not allowed to visit URLs you give it (only ones it finds in Bing) and doesn't directly send you to websites -- probably for safety reasons.
You implied but didn't say explicitly, are you doing your front-end development with web components now personally?
Wait, so, what's the point?

If you're reducing the whole HAM part to nothing more than a fancy Bluetooth handset, why not just jump into a regular Discord / Teamspeak / Ventrilo / Mumble voice server? Why bother going through all the trouble of getting a license and learning about radio when you're not actually going to do any of the radio stuff?

I thought the hobby was all about building experimental radios and trying to communicate with people as far away as possible - with a bunch of emergency comms LARPing on the side.
Question from a fellow European - Germany has conscription? What?
This is actually what I meant by "merged together". They are two separate displays controlled by separate computers, with separate power supplies etc. During normal mode operation they're synchronized somehow and can draw a large image over the entire display area, but in emergency mode you can display crucial flight data on only one of them if the other stop working.

I have never really thought much about it, but I guess the actual LCD thingie is manufactured in one piece and the control signals just being split between different computers somehow, but I don't know anything about how these things are made! :)

In general, I'm with you about being skeptical.

However, in this case, I don't think there is anything weird going on, at least not with the information we have. I've never worked at one of these contractors who service NASA, but in the past I worked for a large defense contractor who in part provided some pretty high-tech stuff to the Air Force among others.

One of the things I worked on specifically was the communications computer for the Predator drone. It was the piece of equipment that received all command and control from the ground station, and sent the video back from the drone camera. The actual plane itself was made by a separate company who was more specialized in that aspect.

We were very proud to work on Predator, and we absolutely would have loved to have bid on something like that. Even though we made part of it, we didn't have a complete unit. Had we have won a bid to get one, it would have gone into a glass case in our visitor area, where we would proudly display it like a trophy. I would not be surprised in the least if that is what these bidders have in mind.

Consider how much fun it would be if you are showing up for a job interview and you see in a glass case in the lobby an actual brand new moon Rover! I know that would be pretty cool for me. I do tend to love museums though, so maybe I'm not the best test case.
I mostly made them for myself (and hackers like ourselves), but also presumed getting them on Google's store would be a nuisance. If you think otherwise, I might give it a go (maybe not the invidious one haha).
No, the code is available on GitHub and there is a license. It permits personal use.
IDK. I don't think we can actually have a discussion about education where all statements are supported by indisputable evidence.

There do happen to be citations for this question but I doubt any really clears an "indisputable evidence" standard. That's the nature of the field. Even if the whole discussion was evidence based and dotted with citations, we'd still be working with a lot of intuition and speculation.

Unfortunately, the article doesn't seem to mention the specific history of blockchain interoperability. Since I was directly or indirectly involved in these developments, I’ll start by highlighting three examples:

- Bitcoin Drivechain Capabilities [1].

- Dogethereum: A Decentralized Blockchain Bridge Between Dogecoin and Ethereum is Born [2].

- BitVMX is a new framework to optimistically execute arbitrary programs in Bitcoin based on the N-party disputable computation paradigm pioneered by BitVM [3]

I'd like to complement this thread with a whitepaper I'm currently writing on a new L1 solution called Roughchain. I've included a preface titled "Web3 for Skeptics" to align with the perspectives of the HN community. I'll be working on the draft this Sunday, and while it’s still incomplete, I’d appreciate any thoughts or feedback. Feel free to comment [4].

Nonsense. It goes much deeper than that. WordPress is no little app some dude maintains in his free time. It's a massive powerhouse that powers 40%+ of the whole web. WP Engine can't just leech on it while adding zero value.
If you're feeling particularly ambitious you can write all three exams (Technician, General, Extra) in one sitting, an additional benefit being that you only have to pay one application/exam fee. It's not a particularly arduous undertaking, especially if you've taken some previous courses in electronics.
I think part of the reason people talk past each other on this issue is because they're optimizing for different things. If you're working for a VC-backed startup with a central product that needs to move quickly and is going to require constant maintenance anyway, a framework might be a good fit for you.

But I work in an academic lab. We don't have tons of money to maintain the apps that we've written. We need them to just keep working once funding has moved on to new projects.

We're just finishing up a rewrite of an app from Vue to Web Components. It had dependency rotted to the point where we couldn't update anything because of dependency hell. Rather than spend hours trying to fix it, which we've done before and would have to do again until the end of time, I decided to experiment with Web Components. The experience was immediately so nice that we went all in. No regrets. We went from ~15 dependencies to ~1 (d3js).

If you're curious to try the apps, old one[0] new one[1].

> On 4 August 2020, a large amount of ammonium nitrate stored at the Port of Beirut in the capital city of Lebanon exploded, causing at least 218 deaths, 7,000 injuries, and US$15 billion in property damage, as well as leaving an estimated 300,000 people homeless. A cargo of 2,750 tonnes of the substance (equivalent to around 1.1 kilotons of TNT) had been stored in a warehouse without proper safety measures for the previous six years after having been confiscated by Lebanese authorities from the abandoned ship MV Rhosus.

This ship carries considerably more. You can critique the framing and language used if you want, but I doubt many officials would be happy to take that risk.
