CO2 is not a smaller atom than CH4 or H2O, on the contrary. And CO2 injection in a saline aquifer in the Utsira formation has been ongoing since 1996, there's been hundreds of research papers on it and multiple seismic imaging studies to confirm permanent trapping.

The projections include a lot less carbon capture than 100 GT/yr. The 2C projections include 1000 GT for whole century. There is research that 600 GT is the most feasible. It would be infeasible to capture all of emissions, but would be feasible to replace emissions, and then use green energy to capture some of it.

BTW, I like rock weathering as option for carbon capture. Crush olivine rock and dump it in the sea. That would be huge scale, but we know how to do mining, crushing, and shipping on large scale.

If we only consider what you get today, nobody is beating Bambu yet. At least not if you want a printer that doesn't focus on customization and just does the right thing out of the box.

Prusa's Core One could be a better option for print farms because Prusa is great at building printers for that kind of constant abuse. But for everyone else it's just a worse version of the Bambu X1C.

However Bambu has gotten a lot of flak for their recent software changes. They have promised not to do anything evil with the currently released printers and to give customers escape hatches. But they are certainly at a moment where consumer trust is justifiably low, and it will take some time to grow that trust back

I think that’s confusing “is” with “ought”. We ought to teach the people around us to be responsible. If my team, or my kid, or my friends, or anyone else nearby told me they found something like this, I’d explain why they should report it through proper channels.

But I also understand why this would be an enormous temptation for mischief. Should they have reported it another way, ideally one that wouldn’t put them up for CFAA charges? Yeah! Am I the slightest bit surprised someone thought it’s be more fun to deface this one particular site with its especially crappy security? No, not at all!

(Also, “responsible disclosure” itself is hugely controversial. It’s most often used by corporations who’d prefer that the vuln is never, ever disclosed.)
I haven't walked into any traps. People get insulted as racist all the time when they haven't said anything about race.

People called GitHub racist for having a contract with ICE.

People call you racist if you say "immigration law should be enforced".

That is my entire point and your immediate assumption that I have fallen into a "trap" and must be a secret cryptoracist is exactly the behaviour I am talking about.

As for the differences being "underscored through measures against women", that is just stupid. There are differences and there are as a result social and legal distinctions drawn between men and women. Women are much more vulnerable to violence from men than the reverse. Single-sex spaces are a requirement as a result. This is a very basic example. The accommodations that employment law and social expectations need to make for women because of pregnancy is another example: you can't just say "we treat men and women the same: you are expected to lift heavy things at work" when you have a pregnant employee.

Literally my whole point is that some on the left eagerly take any opportunity they can get to assume bad faith and apply these insults to as many people as they can. You have then immediately done exactly that. So please. Your pathetic argument that this is just "descriptive" is ridiculous. You choose to interpret things in the worst possible light and to invent things I never said so that you can call me a racist misogynist. Don't pretend that you don't or that you are some neutral observer of people.

In nat. gas this is possible - its called pyrolisis - as an alternative to steam reformation it is generating pure carbon and hydrogen instead of the CO2 and Hydrogen that steam reformation does.

Its main downside is that it takes more energy so you get less usable energy out of the process.

You can do it with other organic fuels as well and the simplest process is making charcoal from wood but its not as clear a way to separate out carbon there.

It's currently more difficult and more expensive to find pure-cotton products... currently due to demand and scales of industry (cost). So if it becomes mroe of a deterrent that nylon friction in clothes is creating microplastics in our blood and respiratory system, then theoretically consumers devalue nylon-made products and increase value to pure cotton, demand goes up, costs go up, attracts more manufacturers and sellers for the value, then we'll see the shift back to pure cotton (or more likely a blend of organics).

Electric cars don't have electric car-specific tires.

If you look at comparably sized cars the Model 3 is about the same. It's roughly the same size and weight as a BMW 3 series. And they're both around the size and weight of the average new car.

It's small electric cars that typically weigh more, because making the car smaller isn't the main way to make the battery smaller; reducing the range is. So then nobody really makes a small full electric car with a short range, because that market is served by plug-in hybrids that solve the range problem with a gas engine while still allowing you to do a few dozen miles a day as an electric car.

This is my understanding as well. And the logistics of doing this can be simplified by re-using oil and gas facilities. Regardless of your feelings and levels of skepticism about oil and gas, this seems like the most straight-forward and low-energy path forward to me.
Are you asking about the real world? Then the answer is that you can not perfectly craft the dome and what happens depends on the imperfections.

Are you asking about a fictional universe governed by the Newton equations and nothing else? Then I can not answer your question because the question builds on a faulty assumption: That this universe is deterministic and that what is determines what will be. Mathematics shows that to not be the case.

The only possible answer to your question in the second case is: It can not be known or predicted what the ball will do.

> Abolishing capitalism wouldn't change the physics and engineering of natural gas wells, nor of the lumber mills and mining required to make paper and wood.

Of course it wouldn’t, I don’t think anybody would believe this. Abolishing capitalism would change the incentive for collecting and utilising those natural resources, though. It’s a lot easier to justify the made up idea of private property when you’re sitting on a pile of rocks that you believe will make you a lot of money than it is to justify sitting on a pile of rocks that a few people decided might be processed into something that’s a net positive to all of society. I have to wonder if plastics would be as ubiquitous as they are today if we didn’t have a very strong social and economic incentive to drill for its raw materials.

> The most promising integrated pest management (IPM) strategies focus on making the urban environment less conducive for rats rather than outright removal of rats already there

I live in the suburbs and in the last few years have seen an exploding rat population outdoors on my property. It began when my neighbors got chickens back in 2020; when home-steading and DIY food management began taking off. They ended up eventually removing the chickens and scraps, but the rats stayed and their population keeps growing despite the removal of food.

I've trapped and killed SO many of these pests, but they keep increasing and each generation seems to be smarter about traps than the previous. The traps have become ineffective at this point. I've tried many of the suggestions seen on Youtube and they fail or some of them are just downright messy/impractical (the bucket).

The most effective solution I came up with so far is building a custom wooden box that leaves just a small opening (like a tunnel) for the rat's head to get into to reach the bait. I used peanut butter as bait and a snap trap inside the box. I then cover the wooden box with leaves and stuff. This worked for a few months, but unfortunately it's not working any longer. On the last occasion it worked, the rat in the trap got cannibalized by another larger rat. Since then, I can see on my camera that the rats approach the trap, but they never enter. I've tried relocating it and everything, no luck.
Another day of saying ‘I took the first solution that worked’.
They might just be early.

The smaller models are getting more and more capable, for high-frequency use-cases it'll probably be worth using local quantized models vs paying for API inference.

IMHO this is far from the truth. git is a mess with conflicts and nothing is remembered. When you rebase an old branch a few times, you stumble upon merge conflicts every time you have to rebase that old code. It's really infuriating.
