I lean towards agreeing with you. That said, people often confuse carbon dioxide removal with CCS. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) generally refers to "carbon neutral" technologies to pull carbon dioxide out of emissions. At some

Neat, I learned about copyleft thanks to this discussion. Will consider copyleft for my future projects! Open source that creates more open source.

I've had this thought too. And when I think about it in the big picture way, I don't think it doesn't need to be all that hard to solve. It's not like we're talking about like, you know, some huge slice of GDP or so

Whoops, my bad. Edited. We can avert the worst impacts of the worst El Nino in human history.

Working at the level of 80,000 people is a lot more effective than working at the level of an individual. Working on your own carbon footprint is a $100M marketing trick played on you by oil companies like BP. Leah Stokes' new book off

Stripe's climate researcher Zeke Hausfather is coming to AirMiners this Wednesday to share about El Niño climate science, the impacts, and then we're going to work on what we can do to avert the worst impacts of this storm. Come j

See my post above for book and event recs. And well said. For some context, "carbon footprint" and this idea of individual emissions actions to solve climate change started as a marketing campaign by British Petroleum. Even the te

You're right on the average. Almost every scenario has global GDP per capita higher in 2100 than today. Burke/Hsiang/Miguel [1] find poorest 40% of countries down ~75% and richest 20% up slightly. So "we get richer"

If someone knows how to unflag this, I'd appreciate it. I think this is a fair climate discussion and I'm happy to weigh in. Also, Eliot Jacobson is an active figure in climate science, so it's not just some rando's blog

I'm curious about this too. This upcoming El Niño, the cost impact is expected to be 4x the worst El Nino humanity has ever seen... I'm putting together an event next Wednesday, We should have climate scientist Zeke Hausfather the

A volcanic eruption by itself can trigger some cooling by reflecting a bunch of sunlight off the dust/gas that's in the volcano emissions. Those cooling periods last a couple years. In terms of having a longer cooling period with

This is why I always say my goal is "a stable climate and thriving human civilizations on Earth", because if your only criteria is a stable climate, well, then a nice big asteroid takes care of that for you.

It appears you're being downvoted, but I think this is an extremely normal reaction. See my post above, come ask your questions on Wednesday!

Happy to hear more. Perhaps some room for reflection by you and me and the rest of everybody reading this.

Neat, I hadn't seen those until now. I saw the kits were used for COVID, I wonder if they have a licensing platform to extend it to other tests. And I wonder what it takes to make the unit re-usable with a new test. Would be a cool pro

yeah totally! some version of "summarize what this tool does at a high level and then build my own but don't use any of the code" perhaps.

I found out about this from my Claude Status menu bar I built last time it went down! It's invisible most of the time, unless the status goes down then a yellow or red marker appears. Improvements welcome: https://github.com

It's been 15 years since I worked on open source PCR machines, but has someone not figured out how to build a "one time use" disposable type qPCR test? A single test, not an instrument. There's no way these types of test
