In relative terms, co2 emissions have gone up >50% since Kyoto; in absolute terms, we have emitted more co2 since Kyoto than in all of history before. I'd argue your "in a few years" was like 2018 or 2019 or so.

Yeah, but what is 'infrastructure as code'? For anyone not already in the know, this phrase doesn't mean "managing and provisioning data centers through machine-readable definition files, rather than physical hardware co

I live in the center of a big city, but my windows are pointed away from the road. At the moment I am hearing someone one building over three floors down practicing piano, and the startup devs opposite chatting over a cigarette on the fire

It is two cities, SLC and Walmartville. It's like in literally the second line of the FAA notice.

This. People aren't wealth-maximisers all the time.. Also, people aren't rational or well-informed all the time.

Is possible, but is not what I mean. I mean anything large (on this scale, for us it's still tiny) will only ever cover a few of these spikes. bad analogy: Take a beach ball, and put it on a chess board. It will only cover very few squ

If you read the article, it initially mentions implants, then the article ends with the following quote: "This new surface modification technique could have potential applications in medical devices but could also be easily tweaked for

tokai above says human cells are orders of magnitude larger than the cell in question. So that might be the answer.

I am really not an expert in the micro-world, but from the times I have worked with microscopy, i know a lot of materials (and surely such a heterogenous material as "grime") have more holes than swiss cheese. So, yes, of course,

"Grime" is only a thing in our medium-scale world. In the micro-world, there is no grime. Most (tiny tiny) things people consider to be grime are far too big to even come into consideration here.

I am wondering the same. The spikes on the dragonfly wings are on the outside, this is (at least in his article) promoted as being used for implants. One of the main qualities of implant materials is low bio-reactivity. I don't know if

The problem is that "write it for you" implies something beyond copy-pasting, and people are complaining that this is one of the most copy-paste-y example possible. I think if proponents would use different language, there would b

I have to think about these. Have immediate negative gut reaction, but want to think about if for some time. Anyway, thank you very much for answering!

Thank you. I wrote the comment initially without it, then thought about how many people don't even know there are alternative search engines, and added "computer-literate" to make clear I am not talking about normies, but peo

Can the person who downvoted this tell me why? I want to learn.

by simbolit 3y ago
I sometimes wonder why computer-literate people still use Google Search. Basically for all search queries I can imagine, DuckDuckGo or Yandex consistently give much better results.

Can you please elaborate? what grand stories (or meta-narratives) historically shown to be good tools for prediction and problem-solving do you have in mind?

by simbolit 3y ago
I think the authors confuses stories and /grand stories/ (sometimes called "meta-narratives"). I don't see how it is possible to do history without stories. That literally is what history is, telling stories about t

But as far as I understand, the 'apps' built on top of the TW platform don't work on the TiddlyPWA. Am I wrong?

I wish the people running adtech-reliant websites would agree with your (very fair) points.

That is viable in 2023. Think about "don't use a smartphone" in 2013. That was viable back then. It isn't anymore. What you can do is live smartphone-lite, using it only as a secondary device (as grandparent suggested).

I have to say I don't understand this. Tiddlywiki was great because it was a single file, the whole point of tiddlywiki was being a single self-modifying html file. No app needed. And back when it was created it worked fantastically. T
