thunderous speed in the range of minutes per residue (not every aminoacid can be used and what they're printing is dna, not proteins so multiply it 3x. they're encoding 3 bits per aminoacid, but there's overhead, error correction and structural requirements that make data density lower than 1 bit per nucleobase)

Nothing has changed in that respect, except now we have an extra tool to make sure we get the decision correct.

And I thought the summary did a much more comprehensive justification of the ban than I could have fitted in the modlog, so why not include it?

idk maybe because it's unnecessary to do that in the first place, and can be filled with nonsense from nonsense generator https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/25880065 emphasis mine

and previously, https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/67894781/25769171

unless i'm to disbelieve my lying eyes, that does sound awfully like llms are in the decision making process

they want your data and freshwater

people see strait closed and think of oil because of course there's a lot of oil going through it, but oil can be routed through pipelines outside gulf so impact on oil is less than that 20% commonly cited

the bigger impact is on gas, because it can't be transported that easily and it's closer to 40% of supply. because gas is so hard to transport you can try to avoid doing that, so it's turned into fertilizer and diesel and aluminum, whose transport is easier, and isn't as constrained as LNG transport. byproduct of gas mining is helium and it can't be mined on its own, and while valuable enough to be flown out of qatar supply stops when gas stops. gulf royals have seen that world tries to get rid of oil, so this energy intensive manufacture was intended as a sort of hedge or insurance, but this too stops without transport

so, yeah. things that can be expected to directly get more expensive are energy in general and gas in particular, plastics of all kinds, aluminum, nitrogen fertilizer and to some degree phosphorus fertilizer (uses sulfur as input). and everything that depends on them, which is broadly everything. the only winning move is not to play ie use renewables for energy. these chinese officials who backed renewables buildout are probably the most vindicated people in hemisphere

that said, you can make fertilizer from other fuels, and in other places too, so it's likely that it will "just" get more expensive, and lower nitrogen use might work about as well because many farmers overapply it. if you are a westerner i guess you might not see it hitting you too hard, but in places like sudan that will be a problem

what is your threat model? the fact that one person can't plausibly know many advanced fields at once in sufficient detail limits risk significantly when you don't ignore that experts are rare

it was heading from baltic. well, maybe they used to in vladivostok, but probably no longer

On October 13, 2022, Vostochnaya Verf filed an application with the Primorsky Krai Arbitration Court with a request to declare it bankrupt. According to the results of 2021, the company received a large loss and cannot pay for its obligations.[8]

also lots of heavy industry is where people live, that is in western part of russia. otherwise you have to haul steel all the way there, it would make complete sense to put the only nuclear reactor factory in area where you have all the specialists

Can’t you just disable sleep on close?

i could, but closing the lid turned off radios (wifi + bt) at some low level in a way that i haven't figured out

ah yes that must be that famed democratization that cryptobros yammered about

i think that perun took sponsorship from 80000 hours years ago, once, and eas or anyone in their milleu never reappeared

weirdly sbf-shaped failure mode, wonder how it helped that court case

[-] fullsquare@awful.systems 11 points 3 days ago

cap, that's a marketing move. black ink still needs solvent and amount of it saved by using one pass instead of 3 is tiny, transport will take more

but can both of them lose?

I'm picking up an idea left by Dick KK4OBI, that you can lower impedance of dipole by arbitrary ratio if said dipole is zigzagged or otherwise uniformly contorted in some meandering shape. Side effect is that dipole becomes shorter and needs more wire. While there's data about impedance for fundamental, there's nothing about harmonics which is something that OCFD might be expected to handle well, so guessing that the really important part is aspect ratio of meander, i've made a couple of VHF-scale models with different meander aspect ratios (and many more much smaller sections), and some of data i've been able to collect roughly matches. The thing I'm trying to figure is what aspect ratio should be to cover multiple bands while using OCFD, say 40-20-15m bands, and whether impedances at different frequencies fall at the same rate. Eventually, when i figure this out, i'll try to make a full size 40m fundamental antenna, as I think that i've figured it out in mechanical terms

However during testing it turned out that I have severe common mode current problems, as two 10mm dia split ferrite beads were evidently not enough, so what little i've been able to collect is mostly useless. When I packed up everything I've found 4 Laird 28B beads that should together give 1100 ohms of impedance or so at 100MHz which also happens to be close to lowest frequency in my setup. Is this enough? Feedline is currently about as long as shorter arm of straight dipole at 22,5:77,5 split ratio, should I change it?
