It's a monochrome artwork so there is no colour assigned to the flag, rather than it being specifically black.

You can sign records in a normal database. Implement some segregation of duty and don't give your DB admins access to any signing keys.

I don't think these are comparable though. Compiler generation is deterministic and more or less provably correct. LLM code is a mile away from that.

I think Tachyons struck the balance to be honest. Tailwind's "functions" and combinations seem to allow a higher level of complexity where it becomes difficult to quickly inspect a class block after some time has passed.

This is a cool project! One small suggestion: the native blue links for the author name, "thread", and "reply" make the content hard to focus on as the UI is quite intrusive. HN solves this quite well with a colour scheme that has the comment content as the most prominent element in a thread.

> We shouldn't limit ourselves because of climate change. We should instead improve the technology and make it better so it doesn't impact the climate in such a way it becomes unsustainable.

I think we totally should limit ourselves from the idea that it's totally normal to expect to be able to fly anywhere in the world in ~24 hours and to do this regularly.

Why though? Let's imagine we could create an electric plane for example and produce the electricity it uses completely carbon free.

Why would that be an issue? I think this is totally doable, if we desire.

Sure. Do it.

Given that this is apparently possible, there should be no problems with a 1000% carbon tax on non-electric planes starting tomorrow, right?

The only issue I have with that is there may be other engines which are not electric but could still provide the same benefits.

Usually I add "reddit" to the search phrase and try to find threads / user-generated and hopefully more organic content this way.

reddit is good, and so is just "forum" which will turn up specialty forums that haven't been absorbed by one of the Borgs yet.

Really enjoyed reading this article as a Sunday afternoon long-read. Well structured and covers a lot of things I have experienced but haven't formed into such a clear description. Also really appreciate the realistic examples!

Thank you! Yes it took me a long time to write and thinking about good examples is always hard...

The styling of the nav and pages here looks strangely refreshing, props.

Meanwhile, we out here obsessing about making money on BTC...

There are folks who on purpose do not participate in BTC because they know the energy consumption is wrong. Go tell people about it and they might get it.

I don't participate in BTC because I find the whole thing hilarious.

Between it's inability to work as a payment method at scale (transactions per minute), exchanges running off with client bitcoins, exchanges getting broken into constantly and the shady way it's handled when that happens and on and on.

I'm not saying the idea is fundamentally useless (clearly) but the implementation is terrible.

I might be wrong and in 20 years I'll be getting paid in BTC but I'd bet that isn't the case.

And they make their snide observations from where? That's right, their computers. How much energy is spent consuming and deliving Facebook? Or iOS games?

There is indeed a lot of engery spent elsewhere - your comment is pure whataboutism though.

A single Bitcoin transaction currently use as much engery as energy spent in a single home for days.

Depends where their electricity is coming from, doesn't it?

What a pathetic argument. Do you realize how much energy is used to maintain existing computers systems used by banks for all their fake fiat currency?

Again - pure whataboutism here.

There are multiple reports now out detailing and comparing energy use of traditional transactional fiat money vs. the new schemes

Same thoughts on my side. And we're mostly doing nothing to stop the growing catastrophe. And I am no exception to that, ...just to be honest.

Given that bitcoin can be boiled down to essentially a Chinese energy index, these two things are not unrelated.

That’s just an empty sop to a blistered conscience.
