My trust in the judicial system in the USA is so eroded that I could easily be convinced that this is just a PR move and they don’t expect to win anything that goes against Trump‘s wishes.

At least where I live the problem is more getting permission to build than the actual building.

I imagine the point is not replacing hardware with neurons, but improving our ability to understand in vivo brains.

With n-eyes agreements it’s quite meaningless anyway. Whatever passport you have, somebody spies on you and sells the information to your government.

It is difficult for a culture to find a good balance between openness and conservation.

I’ve heard people argue that Japan stays appealing because it is closed off and puts effort into maintaining their culture instead of modernizing into a generic western melting pot.

They solve a large part: heating. They don’t solve gas as an industrial feedstock, but you need a lot fewer pipes for that use case.

You can make charcoal, you even get a little bit of energy out of it or can use the wood gas as chemical feedstock. It’s still completely impractical to scale to the gigatons we’d need to sequester.

IMO DAC promises are either wishful thinking or a deliberate attempt to sabotage more aggressive climate policies.

That effect is much too slow.

It’s difficult to scale this to the levels we would need to make a difference.

That unfortunately doesn’t help with ocean acidification.

If lots of columns are a red flag then red flags are quite common in many businesses. I’ve seen tables with tens of thousands of columns. Naturally those are not used by humans writing sql by hand, but there are many tools that have crazy d

Acid rain and smog are not much of a concern with gas turbines. The most problematic exhaust is probably nitrous oxide.

Charcoal is like 80% carbon and the tree extracted it from the atmosphere.

I suggest it’s easier to leave to carbon in the ground in the first place. Carbon capture promises are unrealistic. But if you want to go with charcoal it’s probably best to get wood from coppicing.

We‘ll have to wait until the technology progresses sufficiently that AI cuts into Disney’s profit.

The only realistic way to "bear the cost" of CO2 emissions is paying for getting atmospheric carbon back into the ground. Right now that seems difficult to do at scale. The best way I know is making charcoal and burying it. Offset

O notation is technically meaningless for systems with bounded resources. That said, yes the performance is depending on the probability of cache hits, notably also the TLB. For large amounts of memory used and random access patterns, assum

I’m fine with people using „gratis“ to differentiate libre software from software that doesn’t cost anything and I’m German.

At least where I live I have the feeling that groceries got expensive faster than 2% per year for a number of years now.

In my experience LLMs are about as productive as first or second year students.

Cars and bikes behave differently, that’s not surprising. If you spend any time in traffic you will see many cars speeding and leaving enough space.

Being in a train certainly improves safety, but being kind of slow is not very safe when you're forced to share the road with cars going at least twice your speed.

I can get three or four days of food for my family of four on my regular bike with no problem (I also have a cat). I live somewhere where I ride past half a dozen super markets on my regular commute, so stopping at the shop is no big inconv

License plates do not seem to prevent dangerous and illegal behavior in cars, why should they help for bikes?

There are plenty of people that argue that you need nontechnological pixi dust for intelligence.

It’s only safer than a motorcycle if you have bike friendly infrastructure.
