htrayl@lemmy.worldto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL: About Dyson Sphere. A hypothetical megastructure we would put around a star to absorb the energy being sent in spaceEnglish8·3 months ago…no, they won’t know for a few hundred years due to the actual speed of light and vast distances of space.

htrayl@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Flirting with Trump is flirting with Nazism - Response to Andy Yen (CEO of Proton AG) on Reddit 📢📢📢81·4 months agoYup, that he is anything but a downgrade from Lina khan for consumer protection in the FTC is super wrong.
Yes, quantum entanglement occurs without the speed of light, but we famously cannot interpret information from it faster than the speed of light - it isn’t FTL communication.
htrayl@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Tim Cook is “not 100 percent” sure Apple can stop AI hallucinationsEnglish720·11 months agoThat’s also pretty true for people, unfortunately. People are deeply incapable of differentiating fact from fiction.
htrayl@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Is This the End of Plastic? Visa's New Technology Could Replace Physical CardsEnglish11·1 year agoIt is definitely picking up very quickly currently. Far more common in the last couple years than before.
htrayl@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Is This the End of Plastic? Visa's New Technology Could Replace Physical CardsEnglish1·1 year agoI can put my credit card number in any transaction directly, and so can anyone else.

htrayl@lemmy.worldto science@lemmy.world•Nuclear fusion reactor in South Korea runs at 100 million degrees C for a record-breaking 48 seconds10·1 year agoThis is apples to oranges. Fusion is not the same as fission. We simply don’t know the economics of a viable fusion reactor.
However, we do know fissions cost is heavily driven by safety and regulation. It is very reasonable to assume that fusion’s requirements in this area are distinctly smaller.
htrayl@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Signal and Threema want nothing to do with WhatsAppEnglish214·1 year agoExcept most people are not going to tolerate having a multiplicity of apps, and if people in your circle don’t already use signal, they definitely won’t now.

htrayl@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•The US just invested more than $1 billion into carbon removal / The move represents a big step in the effort to suck CO2 out of the atmosphere—and slow down climate change.English1·2 years agoYou made a generalized statement about carbon capture, which is unfortunately absolutely a necessary step we need to take.
htrayl@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•The US just invested more than $1 billion into carbon removal / The move represents a big step in the effort to suck CO2 out of the atmosphere—and slow down climate change.English6·2 years ago- Trees last hundreds of years
- Trees die at differing times
- Trees are replaced by new trees as they die
- Trees support additional plant biomass
Trees are not the solution. The forest is the solution.
htrayl@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•The US just invested more than $1 billion into carbon removal / The move represents a big step in the effort to suck CO2 out of the atmosphere—and slow down climate change.English2·2 years ago… Which is more reason to invest in carbon capture.
htrayl@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•The US just invested more than $1 billion into carbon removal / The move represents a big step in the effort to suck CO2 out of the atmosphere—and slow down climate change.English7·2 years agoDirect carbon capture is a scam. Alternatives like biochar, enhanced basalt weathering, and reforesting are definitely not.
This is what basically worked a few years ago. Massive mess, a huge pain, but it worked.
