Isn't this impossible because you can't get a patent if there is prior art? So they shouldn't be able to use a patent against a video game that came out before the patent was filed right?
Is it? Or is it just kicking the can down the road? We're trying to clean up crumbs off the floor with a machine that runs on cookies.

I'm sorry, but it's clear from your statements that you don't know what you're talking about.

> capture of CO2 and storage as CO2, mostly in compressed gas from underground, has been proposed by a lot of companies. This is a logistical nightmare that has to be kept up for forever. Better keep that pressure chamber cool and leakproof for 1000 years with yearly maintenance. (setting aside how inefficiently that actually stores the carbon even if grabbing it from the air was free)

CO2 is being (as in right now, yes) stored as a supercritical fluid inside saline aquifers deep under the seabed. These reservoirs are known to be leakproof, since they've already been holding pressurized fluids for millions of years. Yes, there is a maximum limit of how much you can pump down, and yes there is a need to achieve good seal on plugging and abandonment. But that's the same as with any other subsea oil & gas well, it's a solved problem.

Think about it - if these formations were not leakproof on geological scale, there wouldn't be any oil and gas for us to extract in the first place.

Now it really annoys me thay researchers are still putting out papers like this, comparing irrelevant strawman scenarios and pretending it's insightful. There is extremely broad consensus that we will need all the good solutions simultaneously. Stop beating a dead horse.

Furthermore, since we've been dragging our heels on climate change, even if we achieve extremely quick shift to 100% renewables by 2040, we will need CO2 removal from the atmosphere to achieve net negative emissions.

To make an analogy, it won't be enough to cut our spending to match our income, we then need to also pay back our old debts.
Ham here. This is _nuts_, thanks.

I wonder what a RPi 2040 could accomplish with its dedicated realtime components. Add a variable (center frequency and bandwidth) bandpass circuitry to filter out nasty harmonics and I'd guess you can at least go for purely software transmitting CW (morse code), FM and the various digital modes like DMR that are AFAIK all variations of either straight FM or FSK.

FPGAs are too expensive / require too niche knowledge to pull it off, and regular GPIOs suffer from hardware interrupts...

The other question of course is how to receive, but I guess for that you can use an RTL-SDR...

Guinness is a joke. They don't really have standards for lots of their records. For example, Guinness called Ben Lee's the "fastest violinist" for his "performance" of Flight of the Bumblebee. I put "performance" in quotes because he absolutely butchered the piece. But he butchered it very quickly!

It's obvious when you think about it that these sorts of categories are meaningless. What is the fastest violinist? Surely this has to include both speed and _accuracy_. How do you measure accuracy over speed?
Yeah, 100%. Large successful FOSS eventually needs someone like Linus who can just brush away arguments that can bog down the project. It's almost like a military operation -- armies need to move forward instead of bogging down. And in the case of Linux that's perhaps even more true, because the world literally runs on it.

I don't agree with Linus all the time (mostly because I don't have the technical knowledge to agree with), but I 100% agree to his attitude. I hope other large FOSS project maintainers have the same mindset.
A few are, and they stand out.

Most are not.
I like it. So what’s cheaper this https://digitalspaceport.com/how-to-run-deepseek-r1-671b-ful... or lots of smaller machines?
Probably proportional to the weight difference. It's more, but either way it's an apples-to-oranges comparison.
They apply a "model" which is not described to justify an artificially low price for solar power delivered to retail customers.

In reality solar is more expensive than natural gas when reliably delivered. Batteries, over provisioning, fly wheels, and finally backup idle gas power plants are not surprisingly very expensive.
Nah - they look like they are too busy having the n billionth argument over telemetry in packages, and the n billionth argument over monorepos.

So this will probably get placed into the drama backlog for a month or so
It's destructive, but it exploits the extremely low cost per unit energy of nuclear explosives (particularly large ones).
Then propaganda and misinformation must adapt to prevent science and education from swaying that half of the population away from profitable fossil fuel extraction.
Yes, it’s called nuclear energy. We had nuclear power on the grid in 1954.

I was on YouTube a few weeks ago and saw a 20 minute video with a title that looked interesting. Under it was an AI summary that saved me 20 minutes, and had me skip the video completely. I wish that was under every video.

This week I got a notification about the AI added to YouTube to allow users to ask questions about a video. I haven’t had a chance to use it yet, but I can see that also being useful to get the main points from a long video. Up until now, I mainly use the popularity indicator on the progress bar. Since I watch most videos on my TV, it’s harder to use the AI, as I would need to pull out my phone, open the same video, and ask… that’s a bad workflow.

I do find it a little ridiculous that we need AI to summarize long videos full of fluff, when the only reason they are full of that fluff in the first place is YouTube’s own monetization policies which pushed the average video from 2-4 minutes to 10 minutes.
More Solar and Battery Storage Added to TX Grid Than Other Power Src Last Year
That is a really good idea. I have considered it before. A core issue is that most data across different regions is collected and stored in it's own unique way (as far as drilling cores goes anyways). So what I decided was that it might be better to develop some data pipelines first for this region, then trying to refactor those pipelines to accept data from a lot of different regions. So it's on my TODO list but it is a lot of work so I haven't gotten to it yet.
China is not the worst offender. You are disregarding per capita, historical cumulative emissions and outsourced emissions. I am willing to bet that they have the resources, will and execution speed to decarbonise fast though, largely due to surplus solar and lots of batteries but also significant investments in wind and Nuclear.

I am not sure why a lot of Americans do not talk about efficiency in their own backyard or are even unwilling to consider a smaller footprint (it is like almost in the DNA of the country)
It's an improvement no?

It's like paying a fee when buying a car battery or car tires unless you return an old one.

The fee needs to be overly pegged to inflation or something though otherwise you end up with the glass / aluminum cans problem.

And yet, the video in question seems to make it _very_ clear that this has been debated over and over, across various papers and people, and _nobody_ has been able to provide proof as to why it's wrong.
As always, take those t/s stats with a huge boulder of salt. The demo shows a question "solved" in < 500 tokens. Still amazing that it's possible, but you'll get nowhere near those speeds when dealing with real-world problems at real-world useful context lengths for "thinking" models (8-16k tokens). Even epyc's with lots of channels go down to 2-4 t/s after ~4096 context length.

lol, even understanding git is hard for them. Increasingly, software engineers don't want to learn their craft.
I understand where you're coming from, especially with the shifting priorities and the need to make trade-offs. I resigned from my previous job in February 2024 after 10 years with the company, and although I interviewed with a client of the same company, they rejected me, saying my skills weren’t enough—despite successfully placing niche Director-level candidates in tech.

After that, I received a solid offer from another company with a decent salary. However, during that time, I was traveling to the USA to visit my sister, and I was truly inspired by my brother-in-law, who was building products for his Silicon Valley startup. It opened my eyes to the reality of the startup world—a high-risk, high-reward environment where "no" isn’t really an option. I am here by my choice now, but a lot of things are new, and the work is overloaded, so I’m actively finding ways to simplify things. That said, balancing everything is still tough. Exploring discussions like this is helping me. How do you manage?

My point was that not that Borland-as-Inprise failed because of COM/CORBA, but because the attempt to get into the enterprise application server space.

Early Java-based applications servers like iPlanet, NetDynamics, and WebLogic all did CORBA, but they fit into the shift to the web, and that wasn't where Borland were going. In fact, I don't think they had any web tech at all aside from Borland Enterprise Server, which was another J2EE thing competing in the same space.

Or by people who are disabled/elderly. I have MS, cycling isn't really going to work on a regular basis because between heat intolerance and cold making my leg spasticity worse, I'm not going to have a good time. I can drive just fine, though.

While yes, a lot of the elderly continue to cycle in countries where the infrastructure exists (e.g. the Netherlands), those places also have universal healthcare. You can't just throw your average 60 year old American office worker on a bike.

Or for people with small children who need to be able to transport them. Or their groceries for a family of more than 2, particularly since American cities and towns aren't usually accommodating of the 'stop every day/every other day for food' method of food shopping that's more common in some European countries. A bike isn't really a great option for someone with a 20 month old and a 4/5 year old.
One if this week's most resilient and popular posts about someone licking some tape.
I'm conflicted about declaring something as "more harmful" in such a narrow context.

The article says that human cells react worse to dust from modern brakes than to exhaust or even dust from asbestos brakes. But this ignores the impact of exhaust on city pollution, or the hazards of asbestos production process, etc.

I guess this only tells us that dust from modern brakes can be dangerous and we should keep an eye on it. Which is valuable information, even if not as sensational.

What I have found is that each new grief brings all the others with it. Morning the new sorrow is tied up with morning the old sorrows.
EVs on public roads must still obey the same speed limits and common sense behavior. Having more torque doesn't mean drivers have to slam brakes like on a race track.

In normal driving regenerative braking takes away most of the energy, leaving very little work for the friction brakes. Sometimes EVs even have the opposite problem — brakes rust due to very low use.
Is this like “seeing sounds”?

Whether someone was honest or lied in competition isn’t a unique set of ethics anywhere. Yes they use ethics, and those ethics are shared with society’s notion of ethics. You’re failing to make a case that speed running has their own norms.

I am not convinced by the plots presented in this paper but I suppose i am not a specialist on rat-climate interactions so I could be wrong.
4g should survive better than 2g and 3g, because the 5g standard allows for mixed mode deployments where the coordination channel runs as 4g, and the slots can be 4g or 5g dependening on what the client device is capable of. Running the coordination channel with 5g encoding could be a little more efficient, but it's not a big loss compared to running a minimum size 2g/3g allocation.
This is the regular current taboo. Micro-dust from tires and brakes contributes to half of an ICE vehicle’s pollution, with the other half coming from exhaust emissions. The amount of this micro-dust scales with a power of the vehicle’s weight, typically between the square and cube for cars, and up to the fourth power for heavy trucks. EVs are 30–60% heavier than their ICE counterparts. Assuming all other factors remain constant, EVs thus generate more particulate pollution than ICE vehicles. This does NOT even include the environmental impact of battery production and electricity generation.

This continues the pattern of all other announcements of running 'Deepseek R1' on raspberry pi - that they are running llama (or qwen), modified by deepseek's distillation technique.
yeah, that is something I considered, there's no single source of truth in this scenario, there are some linux systems that would require specific patches to kernel, just to function properly, hence the requirement of some sort of open scanning tech
This is interesting. If I want my object to be movable without the need for acquiring the locks for all outbound references, I need my references to be of type 'reference to mutable data'. So that could be one of the reasons why Rust reference types are like this.

But what happens to inbound references when I'm moving my object? Who is in charge of updating them?

> isn't the point of the chaos that as time progresses the predictability of outcomes severely deteriorates?

Yes. And that's what the GP said.

Predictability deteriorates because small errors in the initial conditions grow in proportion to the total value up to the point they can more than explain the entire value.

> but the system being simulated is not likely to behave the same at that time under the same initial conditions.

No, that part is wrong. Chaos is not about non-determinism.
That still wouldn't be comfortable
You're mistaken about my intent. I don't think DOGE is competent and I do find Musk's slash and burn approach deeply offensive, ineffective. I hope that more of their stupidity will be exposed and that they will be held to account for wreaking havoc on govt. This is coming from a place of looking for more solid evidence of malfeasance and incompetence, not from a place of looking to absolve them.

I just think that there are lots of incompetent people in government to begin with who could have messed this up in an attempt to rename, and was interested in understanding whether you had inside info about whether it was the people in DOGE. You have a lot of insightful info in your response, but none that looks like a smoking gun to me like "I know someone at USGS who saw it being done", so to me it looks like an accusation that might not stick. That's all. But we're on the same side here.
> Good one, chap! How about you argue with substance instead ...

Considering they were replying to a post that was, effectively, arguing "nuh uh!", their response seems reasonable.

> Explain, what makes the ball suddenly start rolling down the dome?

That's _literally_ the entire point. Nothing does. There is nothing that causes the ball to start rolling. But the Newtonian laws of physics indicate it will.
No true Scottsman!
> Removing extra clauses

Oh, “fundamentally about exploiting” is just a “extra clause”? Hahaha.

Your sentence intentionally juxtaposed game exploits with ethics. If you disagree with that, you’re contradicting yourself and not me.

What’s left over is still the part I’m objecting to. Nobody developed their own notion of ethics, the community has the same competition ethics that practically any competition anywhere uses.
Can you share them? Because physics says that damage to roads scales quadratically with weight. Not sure why tires would not experience a similar increase.

At the very least, these tires are subject to higher forces due to the heavier weights of EVs. Intuitively, consistently applying higher friction forces to an object would cause higher wear.
>All you need is napkin maths. We gain energy by turning carbon into carbon dioxide. Now, we need the same energy to reverse it, but with a loss factor.

All the serious proposals for carbon capture involve use cases where it's unfeasible to swap in photovoltaics or whatever. For instance, fertilizer production, cement production, and air transport.

> In hydrocarbons the majority of energy comes from the oxidation of hydrogen.

This I wasn't quite aware of. Thanks for the correction.

> But it's theoretically possible to burn hydrocarbons and turn the CO2 into coal and leave it like that with a net energy gain

This would be a game-changer! Though "theoretically" is pulling a bit of weight here...

> We should get rid of coal first, as it's irredeemable in this regard and methane second, as it's a greenhouse gas which tends to leak,

I also agree with your list. Burning stuff for grid energy should stop ASAP. Liquid fuel for transport is, however, the most difficult and probably the last to be replaced. It's to the point that generating green liquid fuels (that don't use fossil sources of carbon) is still actively researched and used, as air travel or shipping may never become feasible on green energy sources.
There’s certainly some of this, and there are also a lot of people living in difficult geographies that rely on oil. Take away global reliance on oil and these people either have to move somewhere else (and many of them aren’t exactly welcome in their neighboring countries) or else they die, starving, and in the dark. I’m not really as sympathetic to this issue as I sound, but I don’t think the characterization of 100% greed and evil is totally fair, either.
We leased a model 3 about a year ago. The driving experience is good. I love the responsive acceleration -- though that's not particular to Tesla. The car itself is "ok". We wanted to get the Polestar but needed to save money. Range is nowhere near what was promised. We tried the FSD (got two months free trial) and it was terrible; neither my wife or I liked it. Will not go back to a ICE car (charging at home, at night, saves us a lot on gas, plus environmental concerns), but when our lease runs out we will likely not be getting a Tesla as there are others we like better (and that's besides the Elon-wannabe-MOTU factor).
Okay but does any one actually _want_ a reasoning model at such low tok/sec speeds?!
