Much higher probability then the week before but I wouldn't rush to judgement. You don't want to be a live-in care taker but maybe this crisis was just a manageable bump in the road. Although, don't expect them to be completely back to baseline when they are discharged.
One problem is that using position to get altitude would require a detailed elevation map and that would use a lot of storage space or require internet.

But elevation maps are not detailed enough and position is not accurate enough to get accurate elevation. Think about standing on trail along steep slope. The position not being that accurate is fine since you know you are on trail. But altitude could vary wildly going up or down slope, or even up or down trail. It is probably similar to GPS vertical accuracy, but were going for more accuracy that barometer provides.

If they are sequestering by reducing (in the sense of donating electrons to) carbon, then that will, by thermodynamic necessity, require more energy input than oxidizing that carbon originally provided. Converting to ethylene, as they mention in the article, is such a process.

The fuel cost to launch is significant here, as you'd want to put this into quite a high orbit. You absolutely don't want this stuff in low orbit where it will be taken down eventually by atmospheric drag, or by slamming into some other spacecraft.

Another issue is the reliability of your launch vehicle. Sometimes these things blow up on launch, which you really don't want happening when it's loaded with radioactive waste. Developments made by SpaceX might contribute positively to both of these, by lowering the cost and increasing the reliability.

A third issue is that this stuff might turn out to be valuable after all. Hopefully not for making bombs, but future technology might come up with socially positive uses for material that's currently considered dangerous waste.
Nice to see someone doing something to try to get some additional leverage out of the DK bongo drums. They're one of my favorite stupid/unnecessary videogame controller peripherals. They felt like such a missed opportunity, especially in the US. We only got three games that actually supported them, and despite my effort of actually tracking down a second pair of bongos so that my siblings and I could do multiplayer, we discovered that Donkey Konga's multiplayer mode was crap. We then got Donkey Konga 2, which was more of the same but with a worse setlist, and Donkey Konga 3 was never released stateside.

The sole redeeming feature of it was Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat, which at least used the controller in a novel way to make an exciting platformer.
We need vast amounts of energy storage is the problem and that won't be cheap no matter how you look at it. 20 years ago I saw an annalists that suggested the US needs the equivalent of lake Superior to get enough hydro storage - that is that much water, plus the ability to drain it all in just one day (to where!), and then pump it back up the next. Pumped hydro where we can use it should be used, but there isn't any place we can put it left (and we want to take some of what we have out because it is an ecological disaster). Batteries work but are expensive. This would probably work as well, but again be very expensive.

Remember you are competing with something we can pump/dig out of the ground for nothing anytime you propose storage. Renewables when the wind is blowing or the sun is shining are very cheap, but as soon as you need storage the costs go way up.
Bye the way, so you don't get offended, I used to think just like you. In 2014 I was all anti Putin viz-a-viz Ukraine, Crimea etc. That was because I consumed a lot of Western main stream news media. It's all propaganda.

Ask HN: Exchange Traded Bitcoin in the EU?
Today I looked a bit into the various options of exchanged-traded Bitcoin in the EU and was surprised to find ... nothing!

There are various Bitcoin-related assets listed on the European stock markets, for example by VanEck, 21Shares and ETC-Group.

But they all outsource holding the actual coins to companies outside the EU. What's going on? Is there no company in the EU doing bitcoin custody for exchange-traded assets?

In what sense is anonymous usage stats “malware”? Because it does something you didn’t expect it to do?

It did say on startup that it collects anonymous usage stats. It’s not “quietly enabled and opt-out has to be searched for”. It says front and center what is going on. You are free to exit at that point and not run it at all. Or just choose the no telemetry option. It’s basically more benign than 99% of web apps.

It’s not a sneaky secret feature that does something behind your back. It’s not transmitting any information it wouldn’t transmit anyway. No information is stored that can identify a user either by fingerprinting or directly by some identifier.

> It seems like the best compromise to me.

It's not really a compromise. It's devs declaring that they deserve access to this data regardless of what users want, and trying to make it less objectionable. It remains the case that this is a back door method of extracting data from users that they don't really want to give.

If users didn't mind giving it, then enough would say "yes" to the opt-in screen that it wouldn't matter. But they don't, so these devs are trying to impose the very thing users don't want as forcefully as they can get away with.

This is all about disempowering users.
> A system made up of 6,144 TPU v5ps reached the GPT-3 training checkpoint in 11.77 minutes, placing a distant second to an 11,616-Nvidia H100 system, which accomplished the task in about 3.44 minutes. That top TPU system was only about 25 seconds faster than an H100 computer half its size.
I am dubious about the speed issue - I am pretty sure wash trades are fast, but they don’t count. So we need some measure of “transactions, but that produce or have chance to produce value” - which is kind of back to square one.

>>> Tax isnt to curb inflation.

>>> The wealthy do get taxed.
But at the same rate as labour ? No. Ie capital gains vs income tax. This might be a fairness issue but it is also directly a resource allocation and incentive issue. If we want more risk to produce more value why not incentivise labour over investment - in the end who will be left to do the labour ?

Oh, hey, holy shit! You're one of my heroes. I've read through your internal discussions on protobuf within Google, you did amazing work there, and held your own against a difficult political environment.

It sounds like you have no criticism of the technical approach, then, but rather just the business mechanics? That's eye-opening, given how much has changed in self-hosted deployment since Sandstorm started. If you started something similar today, ignoring business needs, would you build something technically similar?
Huh? Weirdly aggressive response.

I'm not talking about Hirohito, Yasukuni, the failure at regulating the zaibatsu, the occupation, or Japanese conservatism at all. I'm very familiar with Japanese history. I'm specifically talking about IT corporate culture in Japan. Not sure why you're bringing politics into this.
Yes, you could grow and bury trees to reverse the carbon cycle. Even just leaving the trees standing is a pretty good carbon sink.

Housing is also a great carbon sink as the wood used in construction is protected from rotting.

Portable, energy dense fuel is incredibly more valuable than grid electricity - especially back when most of it was burned, before modern battery technology.

It is not obvious to me that the net thermodynamics are important here. The only thing that matters is the real world cost vs benefits. Carbon free energy is extremely cheap now, and getting rapidly cheaper, yet still not very portable.
I think the risk that carbon capture gives governments an excuse not to properly regulate emissions outweighs the possibility they actually succeed in removing carbon from the atmosphere.

On top of that, removing diffuse CO2 from the atmosphere requires far more energy than the bare minimum (i.e. the energy it released as fuel), because it is diffuse. The energy harnessed to do this (e.g. electricity from solar) would be put to better use doing actual work.

I think we would require an enormous surplus in power generation before carbon capture even registers on the scale of useful interventions.
An array in Powershell, when piped to a command, automatically get this command invoked for each of the array's element and the results are combined into a new output array, which can be piped further.

A junction in Raku, when given as an argument to a function, automatically applies this function to each of the junction's element and the results are combined into a new junction as a result.

I don't know, seems like a pretty clear parallel to me. And since the Powershell's behaviour is quite often undesirable, I agreed with the original commenter that perhaps the junctions could also be somewhat annoying to use instead of just working normal lists: after all, "s in ('this', 'that', 'other')" is about just as clear as "$string ~~ “this”|”that”|”other”" but doesn't require support for magical self-destructuring containers in the language.
Citation? I can’t find any information online about the White House response during the crisis, only a statement afterwards that Biden considered it an internal affair.
What a lot of people find refreshing in podcasts, etc. is that they don’t hide their biases. They might tell the truth, or maybe they lie, but at least they tell you (or clearly signal) their position.

People I’ve spoken to are sick of media that pretends to be neutral, while they are clearly serving the interests of the rich. In that sense it’s really refreshing to have someone tell you what they really think.

I don’t have any solutions, but I can certainly understand the thought process.
I think that was a big draw. Being dependent on his dad whom he grew to hate was a big push to his adventures, and he just wanted to be able to try himself against nature. People kept bailing him out, so he could never get the answer of whether or not he could really survive on his own.

It's unfortunate that most of the easily inhabitable world is inhabited, so you have to go to desert or very cold places where the chance of survival is so low.

If there was real untamed wilderness in Southern California, he'd probably still be alive. Or he would have just push on to a harder survival experience...

> if you make the "Lobster, Poached with Shellfish, Pear, and Kale" from the 11-madison park cookbook, you will make a "white balsamic vinaigrette"

I think the post you're replying to is saying that you'll make 3 "white balsamic vinaigrettes" instead of reusing the same one 3 times.

Which makes sense since one step of the recipe will be to divide the vinaigrette into 3 amounts to make the other ingredients.
>Which is another way of saying "if people won't give us permission to collect data about them, then we need to stop asking permission."

Circuit bending is pretty neat from electronics designer perspective: given the current electronics design state-of-the-art (MCU all the things), how do you design the circuit which responses to the random poking in a most interesting way, without being damaged?

It really forces one to bring back that obscure subset of analog-era skills... "This oscillator is almost never used because of bad Vcc-related frequency drift and distorts output in presence of even slight parasitics? Great, let's put it into the design!"

(Note that making entire circuit out of DFN parts with 3 mil traces, and then leaving large prominent test points is considered cheating :) )

Nation state actors have the resources to destroy me. Defending fully against them is cost prohibitive. I'll take basic actions to make it more expensive though.

> Is it just economics?

It's ~75% economics, 25% learning curve.

For hydrogen, you need an electrolyzer, a hydrogen fuel cell (or turbine), and storage. The electrolyzer is the main capital cost, and it is only running for a fraction of the day (either whenever there is curtailed solar/wind, up to 40% of the time you have your own captive plant). It needs to be sized for peak usage. The storage optimum depends on whether or not there is a nearby salt dome, but if not it is extremely expensive per kWh, and so days and days of storage are untenable (going directly to CH4 changes some of this). Existing fuel cells and H2 turbines have not yet walked down the learning curve in the same way that an NGCC plant has for CH4, but those are running 24/7 so the amortization is not as bad.

With a salt dome and captive PV plant, you end up with (optimistically) system capital cost that roughly doubles the PV capital cost (using US pricing). That means your amortized $/kWh rate is about 2x the PV rate. Since PV and NGCC are roughly the same $/kWh at the plant, it makes H2 extremely uncompetitive unless there is a carbon price or H2 subsidy. At $3/kg hydrogen, it's almost just barely within reach assuming everything works well. If the cost of electrolysis came down, or if H2 were easy to ship globally from high insolation regions, that would substantially help the problem.

> The US, especially, seems to by trying to help Ukraine win, but not win so hard that Russia collapses, and it's not obvious that a level of support exists that would satisfy both outcomes

I've always thought the US wanted Ukraine not to lose. Tying up Russia's armed forces in an endless war of attrition seems like an ideal result on all grounds except humanitarian ones.

European countries have slightly different incentives because they would also like to stop the refugee crisis, but the US is basically the marginal supplier of arms here - if Estonia finds it can lend another 5 fighter jets, the US can just provide 5 fewer.
That was not my experience flying in China. The staff was bad, the plane was bad and the facilities were retched.

Opt-in probably means you‘ll never get a good sample size. It has to be representative. If it’s 5% there’s a risk of it being unrepresentative even if it’s a large sample. The risk is a particular type of user or users from a particular region, skill level or age group opting in.

> Why is GPS not great at height?

Because the SATs only give you a pseudorange distance between you and the sat, so each say is most accurate solving for distance to/from that sat, and much less helpful resolving angle to the sat.

With a clear SkyView, around just under half of the sats are hidden by the earth.

This means that you get a full 360 degrees of data that can be near the horizon helping resolve lat/long.

But only about half of that sky is helpful for altitude. The birds you can't hear directly below the earth would be the most helpful for improving the altitude fix if you could hear them.

Baro is handy because you can take the absolute altitude from GPS as a low frequency baseline and use the baro for high frequency changes. Then when GPS says we teleported +200 feet when a new sat comes into view, we can temper that that with baro information.
