Sure, but dont underestimate the inefficiency of power production and sequestration. Take take the gallium example, for atmospheric levels of CO2, is 400:1. Add the thermodynamic minimum to reverse GalliumOxide to Gallium and O2, and its 80

I'm pretty sure the models are right, and that we will hit +4C on time, that politicians are aware of this, and they wont do much about it. They want to, but all real solutions have massive conflicts of interest, and they are aware vot

There are a number of marine processes which permanently bind carbon, and they do increase with increased CO2 concentration. Problem is that they are overwhelmed by current production. If we reduce CO2 production to zero, the earth will mos

Inducement of massive algea blooms is extremely cost effective, can store massive amounts of carbon very quickly, and horrendously damaging to large lake, and ocean ecosystems, where you can use them. There are two problems, the first is t

Luckily there are these rocks which get hot just lying around, more so if you concentrate them, and we have millions of years of current power consumption of those to use. Perfectly CO2 free too.

The sahara seems like a bit of a hassle compared to the taiga (russia to canada). The real problem with growing forests is that they do not store significant amounts of carbon after they reach maturity. They did during the carboniferous, bu

It works fine for any degree of oxygen blend too, it just requires proportionally more Gallium. 400 times more or so for atmospheric blend. The problem is the energy required to then reduce the gallium.

Its not fraudulent, its a good idea, and likely useful in niche large chemical plants. It is also useless against climate change. The the paper uses a simple input of CO2 and nitrogen. Though O2 could be added as well, as the gallium will s

Its astonishing that the sellers of branded small laptops get away with this shit at all. Its orders of magnitude higher than any other infrastructure provider gets alwat with.

One thing I heard from a guy working on chip for a big German car company was that they used to have a decades old contract with a major Taiwanese chip manufacturer which had extremely good terms for the Germans. In particular with terms to

Something is very weird with intel. Compared to fang pe around 30 or nvidia, amd around 100, intel has 10. Which combined with long term stable decently high profits is insane for an am tech company. Intel has been offered gigantic subsidie

For a test manufacturer you are right, and they aren't responsible for accounting for general population frequencies, or conditional frequencies based on things like some sibling has it etc. But there is no need to regulate that. But t

If you get a positive for a horrid cancer with a 90 percent false positives you should be afraid. Its lunacy for tests to be regulated beyond requiring rough false positive false negative rates, and if anything smacks of "I dont unders

Because he is confusing the sample frequencies with the frequencies of the autocorelation.

by midjji 5y ago
Then simplest way to do so is to sample a normal distribution twice and normalize the length. Its significantly faster too.

Its not standards compliant for C++17 to use the 80bit precision version if I remember correctly. So it is in the languages, the language is just badly supported.

Fixed point could work, and they are certainly better than ints, but floating point behaves more like people expect timestamps to work, and the specific fixed-point I need never seems to be available.

by midjji 5y ago
Fixedpoint is great, but floating point behave more like how people appear to expect timestamps to work. That said, I like so many others have written my own damned fixed point function for various reasons, and like everyone else I got it w

Because in every situation I have ever run into a floating point timestamp behaves more intuitively, and when I started converting my programs to use floating point timestamps almost every function that used timestamps lost dozens of hard t

How are you going to represent 0.3 using a non fixed point integer? And if you do, use fixed point, you suddenly have other just as common numbers you cant represent. You really think NaN is a better is a less intuitive result than what wha

Timestamp ints get constantly casted back and forth between seconds, microseconds, and nano seconds. its an absolute mess everywhere. This are fixed point floats. Everything sensor related, and countless logging, file or anywhere wait_for

Even if upgraded, its is so flawed that it is practically universally replaced anyways. There are two severe issues which must be addressed for it to be saved. First, the type should be float, not int. The former has an intuitive precision,

I am pretty sure that convenient access to good healthcare significantly improves health and is good for society in general, just not the way measured by these studies. I dont think it was intentional, but when carelessly read they needless

Thats a good point! It is difficult to explain what is missing when the less social half of the office is missing, especially as it seems like even the absence of people you dont speak to, is felt. It is hardly fair to expect people, especi

I too am curious, but its going to be very difficult to measure, and as you say, it it absolutely not a fact. Lockdown has certainly damaged some industries, but it has also taught a generation of people tech things they probably would have

Is it the lack of communication or the lack of spontaneous socializing with coworkers? Dont get me wrong, I think the latter is probably underrated, but I dont know if thats what you are missing?

Unwillingness to change, I think, is a important part of the explanation. The old music companies were unable to provide the service their customers now asked for, i.e. convenient online, streaming, etc. In order to do so they would need to

I think thats going to be one of the early successes of AR glasses. Its trivially easy to make, and freemium versions will replace generic ads with ones tailored to you.
