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)

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

could be, there was more of these weird things that i had to do that i don’t remember already because motherboard of that one cracked like three years ago. i also remember that stock driver for tplink dongle was limited and the actual useful one had to be gotten from github

must be greenpeace, move along nothing to see here

(also it’s old news atp)

to get wifi working properly in the first place i had to find a missing binary that wasn’t packaged in any normal way and was only hosted on some dudes github so my expectations were low already. it got a lot better over the years tbh

lmde on a seven year old laptop five years ago, i was already accustomed to wifi on linux being dogshit. energy management was even worse and for some time hibernation was not a thing

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

starting a cult is just good business

but can both of them lose?

if you do that you have bigger problems

suspending funding to an institution that designs your nukes is definitely a choice

only if you take notes

this advice is specifically about sulfuric acid. it’s denser than water, so if added to it it will sink diluting itself along the way, while also heating water around and making it float to the surface. if done opposite way, water won’t mix immediately because of large density difference so neutralizatio heat will be deposited on surface between these two boiling water and throwing acid around. this matters less with other acids because less heat is deposited, and in some cases acid is less dense than water. but if you stir the acid quickly, you can do it either way as long as you control temperature. this also is the case when you need to mix two different acids

tldr you can do whatever you want as long as you know what are you doing

e: i’ve checked and heat of dilution is greatest for sulfuric acid, liquid HF is similar per gram, gaseous HCl and HBr are half of that per mol, other common acids 5-10x less esp as aqueous solutions and not neat. also the same happens when diluting acids with other solvents, like alcohols or ethers, these might be even worse because they boil at lower temperature

at least they haven’t crammed ai into it (so far, i guess)

speaking of oracle, they recently loaded up on debt and got into deals that are all but impossible to fulfill, and in a couple of years their survival will depend on openai making profit. (not revenue) put a pin in it and come back to that in a year or three

where i live it’s a part of building code that hot water has to be hot enough that legionella doesn’t survive in it. depending on the place it might be different and whether building is up to code is a separate thing entirely

legionella dies after 2min at 60C tho

depends on your buildings construction, if you have steel piping then it should be fine as long as you boil it. if it’s chlorinated then it shouldn’t even matter too hard
