If you burn the wood, sure. Forests only capture carbon if you leave that carbon alone forever.

Denmark isn't just trying to reduce their CO2 footprint, though. It's also dealing with terrible soil and water quality, both the result of many years of hyper-intensive farming. That's a local problem that needs local policy to solve.
China’s debt load fluctuates if you consider just the central government, local governments, and SOEs owned by either the central or local governments. Then you have private sector debt. SOEs are where a lot of china’s shadow debt comes from (localities ask SOEs they control to fund public projects of their own books), this is what pushes China’s debt load over 100%.
I work with researchers that deploy all sorts of solar powered sensor equipment in remote parts of New Zealand. Realistically Starlink would need to support NB-IoT and LTE-M which is what these kinds of devices are moving towards (if they need cellular connectivity). These are low power variants of 4G and 5G.

Even if you have solar and a fixed platform, you usually want to deploy as little solar as possible. Especially if you need to carry the gear on foot. So minimising power consumption is really important.

u/egypurnash's point was about limiting glyph complexity. You could canonically decompose then look for more than N (say, N=3) combining codepoints in a row and reject if any are found. Canonical forms have nothing to do with actual glyph complexity, but conceptually[0] normalizing first might be a good first step.

[0] I say conceptually because you might implement a form-insensitive Zalgo detector that looks at each non-combining codepoint, looks it up in the Unicode database to find how many combining codepoints one would need if canonically decomposing and call that `n`, then count from there all the following combining codepoints, and if that exceeds `N` then reject. This approach is fairly optimal because most of the time most characters in most strings don't decompose to more than one codepoint, and even if they do you save the cost of allocating a buffer to normalize into and the associated memory stores.
what they want, they get?
If you decompose then it uses combining codepoints. Still nothing special.
There is a sense in which China has made a sucker of itself, too. China has some serious internal economic structure issues and it remains to be seen how long those issues and the downstream problems it creates are sustainable.

For an example, remember the amazing speed of construct demonstrated by the Chinese government building covid quarantine facilities? Hundreds of square miles of em across every province. They're all gone now.
> In fact I would love to read a sequel where the dystopia wins and AI-empowered oligarchs and human wage slaves create generation ships to nearby stars and eventually setup fast food restaurants in every corner of the galaxy.

The dystopian part was only enabled (within the story) by the fact that humans were utterly unnecessary to the rich.

None had any jobs, because the AI could do all for less… so why would the oligarchs waste money employing human wage slaves when the machines would always be cheaper than slaves?
People really underestimate the power of a shell scripts and ssh and trusted developers.
The majority of comments seem to imply that if the future utility is uncertain or unknown, it is OK to disregard climate change implications.

Leafs don’t have active battery management. As far as I know, they’re basically the only widely available EV in the US with this problem.

Just replace the car, as much as that sucks.
That particular use case requires some pretty heavy binaries and isn't really suited to serverless. However, you could still use DBOS to manage chunking the work and managing to workflows to make sure every frame is only processed once. Then you could call out to some of the existing serverless offerings that do exactly what you suggest (extract frames from video).

Or you could launch an EC2 instance that is running ffmpeg and takes in videos and spits out frames, and then use DBOS to manage launching and closing down those instances as well as the workflows of getting the work done.
Starlink has always been a SpaceX project.

I open it up once in a while but it mainly seems to be ranked by predicted CTR/engagement. For example, out of the first 20 posts in my feed I got a ton of travel/finance guru garbage and multiple posts with some variant of “Do not buy a Tesla, plenty of better EV choices.” And random memes stolen from other sites.

Tons of posts trying to get me to click on them to read more.

None of the accounts in my feed are ones I follow. It’s basically algorithmically driven slop.
It is tricky because it not specified simply as UB - at least in C. And the question is whether this specification is already the special case or not, and even if we want this special case or rather only the diagnostic.
They become trivial once you stop templating them with text templating engine.

They are serialized json objects, the YAML is there just because raw JSON is not user friendly when you need something done quick and dirty or include comments.

Proper templating should never use text templating on manifests.

All of those will help you tell Stefan from Štefan in the most practical situations.

"skeet" is such a terrible term for this. It's like mastodon "toot"s.

Using bodily functions as core infra terminology is off-putting and feels like a bit like a juvenile boy's club. I get that some people find it funny, but it alienates people. We should just call these "posts".

Same thing with names like CockroachDB and GIMP.
I was refering to the size of the factory premises = land + buildings.

It seems we need diffrent categories for a ranking: premises vs. base area of the buildings vs. floor area of the buildings vs. largest building per base area vs. largest building per floor area, etc. And then we would need to clarify what counts in each case ...

Anyway, I live about 20 km from BASF and it is quite an impressive sight, especially at night. Here is a photo: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Fackelschein_des_Steam...

> our best chance to avoid catastrophic outcomes from climate change

The US and EU are long off-peak carbon emissions (emissions even decreased during the Trump administration I, even using a trendline ignoring COVID). The biggest emitter right now is China, and it's emissions are growing not shrinking, and a considerable amount of that (including 90% of the worlds new coal plants) goes to projects like this.

If the Trump tariffs are based on country of final assembly, then yes, final assembly will just occur somewhere else, but it will take a couple of years to setup, and the inflation shock by that time will have done a lot of damage to the economy (recession likely, depression possible). It makes sense that it took Trump forever to find a treasury secretary willing to go along with this.
That is not the shape of the world in the story under discussion.

Within the story, the dystopia crams the masses into cheap housing, they have no jobs nor possibility of jobs, no freedom even to leave as they are apprehended by robots if they try; and the utopia has no need for jobs, but gives out UBI credits to be spent on whatever you want the machines to make for you, and lets you live out a fantasy life.
It would be the worst thing for Bluesky if the eternal September came over from Twitter. I think that population is too passive to make the move and will put up with any level of advertising etc.
Docker Swarm is exactly what tried to fill that niche. It's basically an extension to Docker Compose that adds clustering support and overlay networks.
This is fascinating.

The idea of mark/scavenge is pretty cool for page-based allocation and deallocation.

Also real-time or maybe latency-intolerant systems, which basically can't block for garbage collection. You could probably keep scavenging and stay ahead of things without impacting things in a black and white way.

Cryptocurrency is the financial engine of the broligarchs’ political project. For centuries, states have been defined by two monopolies: first, on the legitimate use of coercive force (as by the military and the police); and second, on control of the money supply. Today’s broligarchs have long sought to weaken government control of global finance.
Reference quoted by news articles on the subject on how long it was estimated to take for the C-Lion1 to get repaired. However, you likely have a point, that the mid-Atlantic probably add some % to the on-site repair time and ++ on time to arrive. Much further away than Sweden to Lithuania.

And this type of work was only possible because someone provided resources because they were expecting some type of payoff.

Additional evidence of photons interacting despite common belief, though:

"Quantum vortices of strongly interacting photons" (2024) https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adh5315

Photons affect mass by causing phonons, which affects scattering and re-emission; so thereby photons interact with photons through light-matter photon-phonon interactions.

From the article:

> Absorption of the green laser heats the cube, which changes the phonon population and lattice spacing and, in turn, the opacity.

/? are photons really massless:
https://www.google.com/search?q=are+photons+really+massless

Y: because otherwise E=mc^2 is wrong

N: because it's never been proven that photons are massless

N: because photons are affected by black holes' massful gravitational attraction, and/or magnetic fields

N: because "solar wind" and "radiation pressure" cause displacement

If photons are slightly massful, then coherent light photons would draw together over long distances; thus they interact.

100% agree about the difference in meaning between the two uses of “trust”. To be frank I responded after only skimming over your comment, and should have read a bit more closely. FWIW, I think there’s a way to unify those two realms: if you model boolean trust in terms of a random variable and sum over the transitive web à la binomial distribution.
If we want the highest level of rigor, claims such as "the unconscious is/isn't influenced by a higher power" aren't falsifiable. Anything that you aren't aware of can't be explained by you. Others can examine your mental state, but your perception of others is itself a part of your mental state. It's solipsism, in a sense. By definition, a higher power that transcends our ability to comprehend can't be verified or denied in existence. It is ultimately a matter of faith, or another axiomatic belief, in how you ascribe labels to that which you can't scientifically explain.

So it could be that a "prophetic dream" you experienced one night is truly a sign from a higher power. Or it could be garbled nonsense from electrochemical reactions. You are not allowed to know. If you received authoritative evidence one way, you'd have to verify that the evidence stems from reality, and from there it's a recursive loop.

Funny, I chose that gall bladder example precisely because I had it happen to me.

Almost everything* is accidentally Turing complete — I know the guy who proved that Magic the Gathering is Turing complete, even helped play-test and then bought a copy of his board game.

So yes, the fictional AI in that story would, in reality, have all kinds of edge cases and emergent properties.

But Vertebrane would also have to be Turing complete, just to be able to function.

Capistrano, Ansible et al. have existed this whole time if you want to do that.

The real difference in approaches is between short lived environments that you redeploy from scratch all the time and long lived environments we nurse back to health with runbooks.

You can use lambda, kube, etc. or chef, puppet etc. but you end up at this same crossroad.

Just starting a process and keeping it alive for a long time is easy to get started with but eventually you have to pay the runbook tax. Instead you could pay the kubernetes tax or the nomad tax at the start instead of the 12am ansible tax later.

nothing really helps with potato slow Android device / storage media. CTE is not magic sauce that will make sqlite go faster.

60% coal, some baseload nuclear (5%), renewables (30%). They have massive dams (14% of electricity IIRC).

Coal share is shrinking, a lot.

Today, capacity factor of coal plants is below 50% (that's why you always see China builds coal plants... that stand idle) and their coal consumption has been more or less flat for a decade. The plan is to use coal plans when wind doesn't blow and sun doesn't shine. Natural gas is a national security risk due to imports, but they do have a lot of coal.
No because even if I could identify a benefit to these macros (which I can't in the contexts in which I work) there's a cost to using them.

Macros whuch simply transliterate tokens to other tokens without performing a code transformation do not have a compelling technical benefit. Only a non-technical benefit to a peculiar minority of users.

In terms of cost, the readability and writeability are fine. What's not fine is that the macros will confuse tooling which processes C code without necessarily expanding it through the preprocessor. Tooling like text editing modes,identifier cross-referencers and whatnot.

I've used C macros to extend a language with constructs like exception handling. These have a syntax that harmonizes with the language, making then compatible with all the tooling I use.

There's a benefit because the macro expansions are too verbose and detailed to correctly repeat by hand, not to mention to correctly update if the implementation is adjusted.
As someone (who likes to think) is pretty unbiased politically, I can say I’ll go wherever the people I’m interested post. I have been somewhat surprised that pretty non political accounts have moved to Bluesky which I have interpreted as both political and motivated by the loads of political bs that are posted on x that normal people simply get tired of. I think Bluesky will gain more traction than threads but will end up being a more successful mastodon. A place where people with massive followings who simply don’t like x will post and there will be two competing apps.
Yeah but Japan has long had a cultural obsession with delivering high quality products. I don't know if China ever did, but if it did, much of it was wiped out during cultural revolution and replaced with succeed at all costs.

And there is a difference between success and excellence.

For example there have been zero bullet train fatalities in its entire history, and several Chinese HSR fatal accidents already. For political reasons the quality of the HSR wheels in China took a sharp downturn so expect more accidents in the coming two years.
