• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Japan Just Switched on Asia’s First Osmotic Power Plant, Which Runs 24/7 on Nothing But Fresh Water and Seawater⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Using it to run desalination is confusing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inspiring. Innovating.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That article’s only real point is that we shouldn’t pin our hopes entirely on sequestration. Nothing about it being invalid or “a scam.”

  Basically summed up in these two paragraphs:

  On the one hand, putting more money into carbon removal will help scale up—and drive down the cost of—technologies that will be needed in the future.

  On the other hand, the growing excitement around these technologies could feed unrealistic expectations about how much we can rely on carbon removal, and thus how much nations and corporations can carry on emitting over the crucial coming decades. Market demands are also likely to steer attention toward cheaper solutions that are not as reliable or long-lasting.

  Carbon sequestration is likely to play a part in becoming carbon negative, and deserves to be explored.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how good are you at lying during job interviews?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  IMO, lying is a terrible way to start any relationship. At best it means you wind up with a job you’re unqualified for. At worst the whole thing blows up in your face. Maybe even the remote possibility of fraud charges.

  Don’t think there’s anything wrong with embellishing or talking yourself up, but outright lies seldom work out well. At least in my experience in my industry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that you can save a lot of money in Colorado by using Bustang. It's a government-run bus service that offers great and frequent buses across the state⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is bustang a synonym of bussy?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wyoming launches first state-backed stablecoin on seven blockchains⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Frontier Stable Token is overcollateralized by cash and short-term U.S. Treasurys, holding a minimum reserve of 102% to ensure stability at Franklin Advisers.

  Wonder how long this will last until we start the fracturing of US currency at the state level again. That’d get pretty turbulent.

  The company managed to resolve the issue later and has deployed a fix.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First antidote for carbon monoxide poisoning "cleans" blood in minutes⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s got to feel amazing. Pair that with an IV of saline you’ll feel like a new person.

  That’s how things get started.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't these AI data centers build by the ocean?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s access to electricity and cost of land. People want to live near oceans, so it’s usually more expensive. If you can get dirt price land in Wyoming that has a power plant near it with capacity, you have most of what you need.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Hate to say it, but that technical literacy from having to operate computers the difficult way was a small blip in history. So things are just kind of going back to “normal.”

  The only real natural entry into “computing” is gaming. Pretty much everything else has to come through formal education, which is largely myopic and boring.

  Don’t think I’ve even worked with a gen Z engineer yet. I assume they exist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Age-Checked Internet Has Arrived⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll take that bet. Probably won’t be effective, but I’m betting this shit is here to stay. There already hasn’t been enough push-back.

  Interesting. That design sounds a lot like vapor chambers that cell phones use for cooling. Just, not sealed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve are now removing a bunch of sex games from Steam to keep banks and card companies happy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they fear regulation so much that they’re willing to be this proactive to keep Congress off their asses.

  It’s still weird to me that they never seem willing to test the boundaries, though. They’ve got more lawyers and lobbyists than they know what to do with.
