It's a way of storing energy. You use solar, nuclear, wind, etc. to make ammonia.
In theory. Some of the biggest superfund cleanup bills went for 'recycling' plants that just stockpiled waste until the barrels rusted out and released everything into the soil.
I dont know for sure but the doctors were on TV in Houston a few months ago and IIRC they said no pulse.

They did mention that one has been running continuously for two years in vitro, and the idea is for it to be reliable enough to eventually implant permanently in some situations.
> Also, I've read a few economists, and they seem to agree that the prosperity of the US is largely a bubble based on the (artificially) strong dollar, but that the same strong dollar is killing US exports. By these accounts, Trump's maneuvers are an attempt to pop that bubble, which might be good, but will destroy the prosperity bubble, which nobody really wants. Whether it's true or not, that hypothesis is a good reason to not invest in US economy.

Not a bubble, can argue what artificially means but crashing the economy to get slightly more manufacturing is obviously bad short and long term

I get it, but this as big a paradigm shift as much as Google and Internet was to people in the 90s. Some times how you do things changes, and that paradigm becomes too big of a phenomenon to neglect. Thats where we are now.

You have to understand sometimes a trend or a phenomenon is so large that fighting it is pointless and some what resembles luddite behaviour. Not moving on with time is how you age out and get fired. Im not talking about a normal layoff, but more like becoming totally irrelevant to whatever that is happening in the industry at large.
Petrol (gasoline to Americans) is dangerous largely for is vapours. It's one of the lightest-possible liquid fuels with about 6 carbon atoms per molecule (C6).[1] Most ships don't burn petrol itself,[2] but rather heavier fractions of petroleum, generally either diesel (~C16) or bunker fuel (~30 or longer), which don't vapourise readily. It's possible to extinguish a lit match in diesel fuel (the vapours above petrol would ignite and/or explode), and bunker fuel generally won't even flow until it's been heated above the boiling point of water (spent steam from steamships is used to heat the incoming fuel both so that it will flow and to vapourise it before injection into boilers or diesel cylinders).

The comparatively small quantities of petrol carried in automobiles is not a grave hazard, though fuel tanks are protected against damage or ignition, and fires do happen. Larger vehicles, on land, sea, and air, often burn the comparatively safer kerosene (aviation) or diesel (heavy machinery).

It’s even more pointless than removing it from Chromium though: Firefox users would just switch to a fork that still supports it, or to a fork that supports blockingWebRequest APIs on v3 extensions, or to a fork that implements some other ad blocking method. With Chromium, they at least have Chrome users, many of whow wouldn’t want to even bother. (Those who do have migrated to forks already)

It connects to your system using OpenTelemetry and it lets you automatically document all the components, dependencies, APIs, etc. I prefer it to static, drag and drop whiteboards because I get immediate visibility without having to waste time moving boxes and arrows.

> "[Citation needed]" was merely meant as a shorter and much more polite way of implying all of the above.

I'll grant you that it is shorter. But how is leaning on a meme that stopped being funny in 2007 to call attention to your concerns polite? That would be considered asshole behaviour anywhere else. Especially when you consider that if one is not familiar with the meme and ends up taking it at face value it is a request that is impossible to fulfill, backing one into a corner. That is not good faith participation.

If you have concerns that are worth raising with another party, surely it is worth speaking to that other party like a normal human being?

> it is fairly bigoted and more than a little bit offensive.

I'll extrapolate from this that you are really trying to suggest that the other party might be what we oft label a troll. In which case perhaps you can make a case that they are not deserving of normal human treatment, however they are also not deserving of your time, so no reply would be made in that case anyway.

> AFAIK, 10g of sugar is 10g of sugar, regardless of if it's fructose, glucose, sucrose or lactose

Sucrose is just fructose + glucose.

There is actually evidence that the sugar makeup (fructose vs glucose) makes a differences in how it is metabolized, but the bigger impact seems to be coingestion of fiber.[0] Added sugars don't usually come alongside "added fibers". (this is also partially why glycemic index is strongly correlated with added sugar content but much less with naturally present sugar content)

There are web standards and then there are web standards.

There are some that Chrome just scribbles on a napkin, throws them into standards committees, and immediately releases even if the napkin cannot even be read by anyone. Because this benefits one or other group inside Google. See basically all hardware APIs.

With others Chrome sometimes just barges ahead even if the final shape of the standard isn't fully agreed on. YOLO. The links above are quite telling. Many of those have the following disclaimer: "This feature is experimental. Use caution before using in production."

It's not just "identity", but "authorization". Really, what they mean is "defense in depth" minus firewalls (because the "in depth" part makes those less relevant), I think. And... that is a reasonable position... provided you get the "in depth" part right, which includes not having proxies that bypass authorization.
Everything they do has approximately zero value add to the community compared with the value add of having a legitimate alternative browser.

It’s like saying, yeah I solved cancer, but my vision is so much bigger than that! I also invented an Excel formula that allows shoe stores to advertise 2% less expensively to dogs.

We really need an alternative browser. We have one. But the people running it want to use your donations to do other things that are 100x less important.
Currently Firefox does not do any of those things out of the .deb/.tar.gz. I'd like to keep it that way, hence my resistance against involvement by parties which have shown to be either susceptible to or directly calling for censorship. This is also one of the many reasons why I wanted to see Mitchell Baker disappear from the organisation as she clearly was calling for active censorship.

I frankly do not understand all the resistance against a call for a politically neutral tech infrastructure. To all those people frantically pressing that down-vote button, do you really desire for your tech infrastructure to be ideologically driven? Do you even understand what such a thing means and what it will lead to?

Ultimately, objects are always drawn in the screen by setting pixels into it. Plotting a point by setting a pixel is entirely reasonable, and can be indeed done directly, in realtime, for several millions of points. I just tested the C program below, compiled with gcc without optimizations, and it gives about 80 fps for three million points (on my 6 year-old thinkpad). My point: CPUs are ridiculously fast, and you can indeed do a lot of large-scale data visualization without need to meddle with the GPU.

#define FPS 80

void plot_points(
float *o, // output raster array (w*h)
int w, // width of raster
int h, // height of raster
float *x, // input point coordinates (2*n)
int n // number of input points
)
{
// initialize the output raster
for (int i = 0; i < 2*w*h; i++)
o[i] = 0;

// accumulate the points that fall inside the raster
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
int p = x[2*i+0];
int q = x[2*i+1];
if (p >= 0 && p < w && q >= 0 && q < h)
o[w*q+p] += 1;
}
}

#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void)
{
int w = 1000;
int h = 1000;
int n = 3000000;
float *x = malloc(2*n*sizeof*x);
float *o = malloc(w*h*sizeof*o);
for (int i = 0; i < 2*n; i++)
x[i] = 1000*(rand()/(1.0+RAND_MAX));
for (int i = 0; i < FPS ; i++)
plot_points(o, w, h, x, n);
return 0;
}
// NOTE: if this program runs in less than 1 second, it means that it
// is faster than "FPS"

John Gray: Trump's soft power grab
I think a lot of people are running on facts that are between 10 to 25 years out of date. There was a time when the scripting languages had a very, very large step up in prototyping capability, because the static languages of the time were frankly terrible.

But the static languages have changed, a lot, for the better since then. I now find that when I'm greenfielding something, if I have even a clue how I want to structure it overall, that static languages end up being faster somewhere around a week into the development process. Dynamic languages are superficially easier to refactor, but the refactorings tend to take the form of creating functions that take more and more possible inputs and this corrodes the design over time. Static programs stay working the whole time, and I can easily transform the entire program to take some parameter differently or something and get assurance I'm not missing a code path.

I personally actively avoid dynamic languages for initial development now, for anything that is going to be over a week in size. The false economies are already biting by that point and it gets progressively and generally monotonically worse over time.

This comes from someone who was almost 100% dynamic scripting language in the first 15 years of my career. It's not from lack of understanding of dynamic scripting languages, used at scale.

I've seen bunker fuel in a ship, and its consistency was best described as "tar-like". Mind, n=1 and uses may vary, but bunker fuel can be exceedingly thick. All the more so on high-latitude routes with fuel tanks near the outer hull and cooled by ambient water temperatures near freezing.

Decidedly thicker than automotive oil, and probably thicker than axle grease or vaseline / petroleum jelly.

The ship in which that was used (triple-expansion steam engine, late 1800s design, built and used during WWII) directed spent steam around the incoming fuel flow directly prior to boiler injection, and that steam then wrapped around the fuel line and part of the fuel tank itself to heat the oil to the point it would flow.

Side note: Venezuelan oil is very thick and viscous, and requires mixing with lighter fractions of petroleum to be pumped out of wells. Venezuela typically imports what would otherwise be waste light fractions of petroleum, generally from the US or Nigeria (heavily dependent on political winds) in order to do this. A significant fraction of US petroleum exports go to this or similar uses. (I suspect Canadian tar sands see similar treatment though I don't have a source on this.)

I made a quick prototype to demonstrate what I think A.I code assistance should be..

https://github.com/hibernatus-hacker/ai-hedgehog

This is a simple code assistant that doesn't get in your way and makes sure you are coding (not losing your ability to program).

You configure a replicate API token from replicate... install the tool and point it at your code base.

When you save a file it asks the LLM for advise and feedback on the file as a "senior developer".

Run this along side your favorite editor to get feedback from an LLM as your working on (open source code nothing you don't want third parties to see).

You are still programming and using your brain but you have some feedback when you save files.

The feedback is less computationally expensive or fraught with difficulty than actually getting code from LLM's so it should work with much less powerful models.

It would be nice if there was a search built in so it could search for useful documentation for you.

Yes, but it's no harder to get your groceries with an SUV than with a compact car. The firehose metaphor doesn't make sense; you're not going to accidentally wash all of the data off of the recipient's computer if you're not especially skilled in handling bittorrent.

The problem with bittorrent is ports, just like ipfs. I have to tell somebody to open a port to the outside who may never use bittorrent again.

Opening ports can be obnoxiously hard for someone who doesn't know anything, even if it sometimes just means finding the UPnP checkbox; 90% of the time it involves trying to figure out how to access the UI for their router, and after that trying to figure out what their password could possibly be or how to reset it.

Now, they've got a port sitting open for a piece of software they might never use again, and that's not something I want to be responsible for.

People who often share files should be setting up standing private networks. Group chats/texts can last for years, they should be packaged with an entire range of services that the members can easily provide for themselves (like file sharing and voice/video messaging.) So many companies make their money from centralizing and siloing this.
