knowing what needs to be done is impossible without considering the means at hand. It's not just wishing for a goal - a three year old can do that - but enabling to go the way there. But a statistical estimate may be possible indeed.

humans are herd animals after all. So big orgs are reluctant to listen to indiviuals but their leaders. They wouldn't do a thing but listening otherwiese - there's just too many individuals. Held a 5min talk about that 2018 https

I had that with the geohash algorithm I implemented naively as binary search until I came across https://mmcloughlin.com/posts/geohash-assembly that ultimately doesn't even compute it but read it from the in-memor

…or even doing it with computers. Or even doing it at all.

I have to second that. Including the variant "canonical s-expressions" which is in fact a binary format.

> track things forever indeed, is that another word for "idle (unused and useless) all thinkable time"? Or 'I can't think a usecase, but eternity may bring one along.'

I talked about long existence of nuclear waste. And yes, I consider plutonium super bad. And I consider keeping that safe longer than our species exists to date as ambitious. I may err and plutonium may be a kinda decaying lead as you imply

by mro_name 5y ago
strictly spoken: no. I mentioned the time it is around and not decayed yet. I didn't stress radiation, did I? Plutonium is very toxic. No more after decay, I guess. But that takes time as mentioned.

the claim was 'long term sustainable' – burning fossils isn't a contender here.

radioactivity isn't the only problematic property of plutonium.

I wonder what this enthusiasm to throw data at google should be good for. I made a commandline binary https://mro.name/form2xhtml that turns server side form dumps back into html for ease of processing. Put that into your t

France has an ugly war in Mali because of their dependance on yellowcake AFAIK.

I find it amusing how easy we leave waste and decide for generations to come to deal with. Plutonium has a half-life of 24110 years – it will take about ten of them until it's gone. Just imagine the provision for 1 security guard'

isn't that question like "cinema besides the movies"?

Is that in line with what Ivan Illich coined "convival technology"? Not being encroaching would be a nice to begin with.

looks super nice, thanks for sharing. Maybe a cheat-sheet for cmdline equivalents might be fun.

as long as the kids make haptic primary experiences and get a feeling of physical reality of the world, visual depth (screens may show 3d images but never are to the eye) and social contact with present people, it may be fine. Those people
