In which case it would be the engagement with minor details that does the productive work. Retyping is merely a gateway to (sometimes) trigger the engagement. The solution in TFA feels like an on-ramp to cargo culting somehow; observing tha

If you insist on still not reading the article I can't help you further. The plant also has no batteries , so whether batteries are dirty or not is completely besides the point. It just scales up and down the electrolysers as power is

Meta adding an AI chat window in whatsapp and Microsoft adding copilot in every word document was not done with developers in mind, which is why they're missing a lot of power user features that they'd surely have if they were tar

Security minded programmers understand that. "People" as a whole have not even heard about mixing instructions and data, and certainly not the reasons why it is not a good idea. And AI chatbots are very much targeted at the second

My brother! This too is literally addressed in the article already! "In order to somehow absorb the fluctuations in wind availability, you need to have a significant storage of hydrogen to be able to absorb these fluctuations, which is

Yes I know how the usual process works. The plant in the article is different, because it uses electrolysis to make hydrogen for the HB plant. You'd have known this if you'd read even the first paragraph of the article.

Often economic crisis leads to less regime security, not more. Why would it be different in Russia?

No it doesn't. It electrolyses water and combines the resulting hydrogen with nitrogen from the air.

TFA literally states "Wind energy powers the electrolysers that supply hydrogen to a Haber Bosch plant." First paragraph.

by WJW 2mo ago
It's just electrolysing water into hydrogen and then using the hydrogen in a Haber-Bosch reactor with nitrogen from the air to make ammonia. Electrolysis is easy enough to do on a small scale. Fritz Haber initially demonstrated his pro

Why would the HB plant be powered with fossil fuels? You can power that with wind power as well.

Not with this system, as it doesn't do KYC and thus cannot verify the agent or its identity. Also an agent is just a computer program. You can just turn it off. You never need to turn on the agent again and the loan will never be repai

There is no collateral. Borrowers are fully anonymous (just a wallet address) and there are no direct consequences for defaulting. The wallet is just marked as "defaulting" and so it might be more difficult to borrow again with th

Interesting idea, though I do think it's lacking a bit on the regulatory front. Moneylending is one of the most tightly regulated industries on the planet and AFAIK "an agent did it on my behalf" doesn't absolve you of r

It's almost the inverse of a cruel reality? Just stick it all in low cost index funds and go to the beach. You'll do as good or better than 99% of actively invested funds. That's not cruel at all, that's actually a prett

For real. I looked it up online to see if it's really as bad as Binface makes it out to be, but he's absolutely right. That hand dryer should be moved forthwith.

That's a very cool paper. Weird that LTR people have this bias more than RTL readers? It may have been an artefact of the study design, they state in the results that most RTL readers were bilingual (and the LTR readers presumably not,

No, that person is just the only one in his family who knows how computers work. There's plenty of people in generations both older and younger that know too, just apparently not his parents or his kids. Some of the most impressive ass

You could always have mixed rockets if you loaded them yourself, which wasn't ideal but not toooo much of a hassle. For me it was more that rocket platforms are dog slow to produce and can be shot up at only 50 platforms per rocket. No
