You understand that wire doesn’t have infinite capacity, right? You can’t just point to a wire and say “problem solved”. I can’t even tell if you’re honest or just trolling at this point in the conversation.

Or don’t put the panels near a railway at all. We have so much land and even empty rooftops that would be easier and safer to use first. Running panels along a railway means the electricity has to be carried all the way back to some point,

Most studies don't register cognitive changes in the range of 2000ppm. A lot of the military and space studies used exposures multiple times higher than that without registering cognitive problems. It wasn't until you got to very

The difference between Satish-involved studies and other studies is extreme, too. Their first 2012 study tested levels at 600, 1000, and 2500ppm. In many categories they observed the 2500ppm group receiving "dysfunctional" ratings

Dissipation does not happen instantly. I’ve done development on products with CO2 sensors and I’ve spent a lot of time with them on my desk right in front of me and also off to the side. Readings right in front of me are predictably higher.

The word “hallucination” has become overloaded, but it general means an LLM producing some output that isn’t plausible or grounded. When you have a very long context session where the context includes “minecraft.py” it’s not hard to extrapo

No, because the studies that establish the levels correlated with cognitive changes use ambient CO2 levels. Not with a stream of air directed, maybe, from your nose to your wrist. It is not possible to come up with a different baseline for

The wind carries pollen from the crops long distances, where it cross-pollinates with other crops, some of which are grown from seed. This is a real thing that happens. There have been major court cases about it, like this one from Canada
