Logseq leverages centrally hosted databases while obsidian works directly from files and directory structures. There should be a way to import individual files but I’m not sure if it will parse your entire vault.

Wayyy too many Nazis in tech, which unfortunately includes a surprising amount of open source tech too.

Sabine Hossenfelder isn’t really a good foil for someone that likes to portray that they are an expert on topics that are actually outside their expertise. Here’s a good video on why she is more similar to him than you would think: Youtube.

From my perspective, her takes on anything outside of undergrad physics are pretty shit, so forgive me if I don’t see having her involved as a good thing.

I wouldn’t say it’s nuanced really.

It’s either those involved with planning the construction are aware of and scale to account for the impact of the ecosystem and population surrounding their project, or they don’t and plot a gigantic building with no environmental accountability. You can do an environmental impact assessment and follow it or you can choose to ignore it or half ass it; it’s pretty cut and dry to me.

I think AI granting the ability for nearly anyone to easily manipulate short videos in a way that looks realistic might be where it comes into the picture.

Having video evidence of everything you do is just unsettling at the very least if you ask me.

Ah that makes sense! Well at least that solution is working out for you.

Have you tried a powerline Access Point like this TP Link Powerline AP?

Wow. I’ve never seen a printer dump all of its toner like that. The only thing worse would be if it was on fire and on a carpet floor.

You’re proposing more restrictions to what end? All licensing will do is hurt people that are unable to obtain a license like you listed in your post. That doesn’t automatically mean that roads will be safer or rider law enforcement will be better.

Sure the ones that aren’t following safe practices are egregious, but that’s the same with cars too. I literally saw someone in a van swerve around a line of cars to blindly cut across a highway through a red light. No amount of regulation or licensing is going to prevent that.

The best method to fixing traffic issues is planning better infrastructure first and then adding enforcement in problematic sections.

Honestly, not even that deep can used for geothermal. You can dig 6 feet deep for a horizontal ground loop in most places and still be completely usable for a ground source heatpump.

So a bunch of the other comments have mentioned this but you would be creating a thermal battery essentially. These can be useful for smoothing out the temperature changes in that room but it isn’t exactly efficient since the only way to heat or cool it is by changing the temperature at the surface of the container.

Adding passive heat sinks like radiator fins would increase the efficiency as it would absorb or diffuse the temperature difference with increased surface area but it would still would be subject to things like the air conditioning turning on and off more regularly when there is a higher ambient temperature delta or condensation when the weather is hot and moisture is high. You’ve essentially added an inactive water boiler tank in the middle of a room that takes up space and takes a long time to either heat up or cool down and it still would be lagging behind where you want the temperature to be.

You’re on the right track to a good idea with trying to store thermal energy but it can be made better with a few tweaks:

• Let’s make the tank part of an active system by adding pumps and a heat exchanger that integrates with your current air duct system (assuming you have one). We can heat and cool the tank directly instead of passively so that our time and energy is directed more efficiently.
• Insulate it so that we minimize any unwanted heat changes
• Move it to a utility room or outside so you aren’t taking up room space

Now we have a thermal battery that works with your air conditioning system as opposed to against it. This can be paired with other methods of heat/cooling such as a solar system.

But if you’re in a dorm or somewhere you can’t make changes, it could make sense if you aren’t paying for electricity, you actively heat/cool the bucket by putting it in a freezer or on a heater/fire, and you don’t mind a large metal container in the middle of the room? Just watch for a lot of condensation when cooling the air.

I definitely agree. Meshtastic has its uses but being a wide area network replacement is not one of them. Reticulum seems to be the mesh we all want and the technology is here, we just need to organize to make it happen.

Working for the pedophiles like they always have.

From what people say in red counties, I completely believe this theory. Culture supercedes logic and there are very few that can think critically and be socially included in those places. Silent ridicule for getting a vaccine is not uncommon because it’s seen as weak or letting the government do what it wants to you.

It’s just very ironic and sad.

Because some people have a tendency to question the validity of things that don’t make sense to them. I could see someone asking, “why even have physical money anymore when everyone uses banking or credit?”

The same deal with privacy, “why should I worry about internet privacy if I have done no wrong and have nothing to hide?” There are always people left out and harmed in pursuit of some form of purisim like those lines of thought.

The types of AI you mention at the start of your comment has been around for years and isn’t exactly the problem we’re facing as far as I have researched. The AI bubble is a result of the hype around transformer-based generative AI and not so much about AI itself. Neither datacenters nor AI are a new thing and up until 2020 they weren’t as much as a problem as they are today due to the hype and increasing demands by these large models.

The problem is literally a scaling issue for generative AI and those that decide to build new datacenters just for this usage are ignorant to the environmental and socioeconomic issues as being the limiters that they should be.

If only there were more support for reticulum.

You’re giving them too much trust. The only way to be sure that Microsoft isn’t embedding malware into your systems is to not use their software.
