Regarding the report on Uber for nursing: https://ainowinstitute.org/publications/uber-for-nursing

Katie J. Wells quote from near the end of the interview:

...when you have very very low expectations for public government, Silicon Valley looks like an OK alternative... the technology in your pocket somehow looks more useful.

This says so much about citizenship and the relationship between democracy, autocracy, and technology.

Echoes the LinkedIn comment by Tim Appleby in response to the (incorrect) perception that LLM-based chatbots are better than a traditional search engine for search:

While I agree that it isnt and should not be a search engine, it performs the function of finding source information on websites better than some of the actual search engines... Googling anything today results in 3 ads, 4 AI generated articles that zapped into existence the second you hit search with no sources and a fake author, and SEO-hacked keyword pages for things that are entirely irrelevant. When everything is this broken, its hard to say the less-sh*t option [i.e. a chatbot] isn't a viable one.

250. Tackling ‘Big History’ feat. Ian Morris<br /> unSILOed Podcast with Greg LaBlanc

• Most of human history and evolution is about energy capture.
• Investing 80x energy into land to get 4x output from it has been transformational for modern farmers. (Turning oil into bread.)
• Marshall Sahlins - synopsis: agriculture is a really bad idea.
• Morris Theorem: human history is driven by lazy, greedy people.
• "Fossil fuel values" (00:39:00)
• fairness is a fundamental human value; justice is dramatically different across time and space (00:45:08)
• Morris' "5 Horsemen of the Apocalypse" (the five problems humans encounter when they reach the limits of energy extraction): massive movements of people (mobility); epidemics; climate change; war; governmental collapses;
• The price of overhunting for one person versus the price for the collective. How do we solve these collective problems (particularly for lazy, greedy humans)? (00:52:35)
• Regional failures were the general pattern before; now failures are a global scale problem.
• Morris' explanation of Brexit based on his Big History thesis as one of how Britain maintains power with respect to both China and Europe. (01:05:40)

I find myself reading this from the perspective not so much of technology, but of these social systems which seem to be being stressed right now. Is it the technologists (Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, etc.) who realize that these systems were part of the technology "problem" in the past and now they've figured out a way to attempt to "capture" people to organize their original ends?

Der Artikel diskutiert die Notwendigkeit von Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) zur Erreichung der Klimaneutralität. Aktuell werden weltweit etwa 2,2 Gigatonnen CO₂ pro Jahr entnommen, hauptsächlich durch Aufforstung. Neue Technologien wie Direct Air Capture (DAC) sind noch wenig verbreitet, machen nur ein Promille aus. Um die Pariser Klimaziele zu erreichen, müsste die CO₂-Entnahme bis 2050 auf 7 bis 9 Gigatonnen pro Jahr steigen. Deutschland plant, bis 2045 klimaneutral zu werden, und benötigt dafür eine nationale CDR-Strategie. Derzeit kostet die Entnahme einer Tonne CO₂ mit neuen Methoden 100 Mal mehr als die Vermeidung einer Tonne Emissionen. 27 Staaten und die EU haben Vorschläge zur Ausweitung von CDR bis 2050 gemacht.

Eine Studie zeigt, dass das Kraftwerk Drax in North Yorkshire trotz Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) bis in die 2050er Jahre die CO₂-Emissionen erhöhen wird. Die intensive Waldnutzung zur Gewinnung von Holzpellets in den USA reduziert die Kohlenstoffspeicher in Wäldern für mindestens 25 Jahre. Selbst mit CCS-Technologie bleiben die Emissionen über Jahrzehnte hoch, was die Klimakrise verschärft. Kritiker bezweifeln Drax' Behauptung, "klimaneutral" zu sein, und fordern eine Neubewertung der staatlichen Unterstützung für Biomasse-Energie.

Die Studie des Potsdam-Instituts für Klimafolgenforschung zeigt, dass Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) theoretisch bis 2050 jährlich 7,5 Milliarden Tonnen CO₂ entfernen könnte. Allerdings würde dies die planetaren Belastungsgrenzen stark überschreiten, insbesondere in Bezug auf Stickstoffeintrag, Süßwasserverbrauch, Entwaldung und Biosphärenintegrität. Unter Berücksichtigung dieser Grenzen reduziert sich das Potenzial auf nur 200 Millionen Tonnen CO₂ jährlich. Die Studie betont die Notwendigkeit, neben der CO₂-Bilanz auch andere ökologische Faktoren zu berücksichtigen und schlägt vor, durch weniger Fleischkonsum Flächen für Klimaplantagen freizumachen.

On defending federated projects / commons projects against EEE by corporations. Mentions XMPP as example of the danger, as well as SMTP (#openvraag waarom is SMTP een voorbeeld van corporate capture?) Mentions 3 defences: - Ensure that governance requires majority consensus in the network of stakeholders for protocol design adoptions (increases the cost of capture) - Ensure projects reside in an entity (foundation) independent of corporate funding (counter example would be Mozilla's financial management over the years, but valid point money w strings is always an issue). - Use contributor license agreements, so that output is owned by the project (meaning you can kick people out when needed. This is all at the project level. From a #netag perspective there's also something wrt how you deal with the social bounding of a group around a project. Author warns about corporate people participating without announcing they represent a corp. Also mentions that where corp contribs initially may be from aligned people, at any point they might be replaced by other corp people that don't have the same agenda as the person that initiated the contribs.

• quote

  • If oil and natural gas consumption were to evolve as projected under today’s policy settings, this would require an inconceivable 32 billion tonnes of carbon captured for utilisation or storage by 2050,
    • including 23 billion tonnes via direct air capture to limit the temperature rise to 1.5 °C.
  • The necessary carbon capture technologies would require 26 000 terawatt hours of electricity generation to operate in 2050,
    • which is more than global electricity demand in 2022.
  • And it would require over USD 3.5 trillion in annual investments all the way from today through to mid-century, which is an amount equal to the entire industry’s annual average revenue in recent years.

In den USA wurde in Anwesenheit des Energieministers, die erste große kommerzielle Fabrik zur Direct Air Capture also der direkten Entnahmevon CO2 aus der Atmosphäre, eröffnet. Die Biden-Administration fördert diese Technologie mit enorm hohen Beträgen. Die Kosten für den Entzug einer Tonne CO2 aus der Atmosphäre in der neuen Anlage werden auf 600 bis 1000 Dollar geschätzt https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/09/climate/direct-air-capture-carbon.html

Is this some of the missing context for the CCS next to datacentre patents from M$?

If you can capture the CO2, and use the waste heat to separate the CO2 from the absorbing material, then it might improve the economics of the SOFC fuel cells, AND deal with the CO2 emissions problem.

Was this the end of government by the people? Government by the corporations had been building up for a long time, and this may have been the fulcrum at which things changed.

Something ironic in a president saying this about the institution which he's running. Almost too meta. And naturally could be said about his own way of running the government.

Instead of dumping the humidity outdoors, why not have an option to condense it to a water holding tank, thus offsetting the need to purchase water? This sounds like it might even be able to distill water, which would further save money for those who need distilled water for apnea devices and other uses.

Brett Terpstra was a Frictionless Capture Card fan, especially for quick capture and he used them in a waste book-like fashion. He indicated that he usually transferred the data to a digital location, but kept the cards as backups filed by alphabetical subject line in a Vaultz card index.

Frictionless Tools' Capture Cards were custom 3 x 5" index cards, printed in vertical orientation with a square grid pattern on most of the card. The top was usually split in half between equal grey and red rectangles for titles/dates/headings and a slightly thinner single long rectangle as a footer at the bottom.

Patrick Rhone indicates on 2018-01-24 that they had quit manufacturing them by that date.

Jillian Hess noted that Patricia Highsmith uses the German word Keime, meaning "germ of an idea" in her cahiers to indicate ideas which might be used in her novels or short stories.

Very important, most viewers on social platforms are Goldfish Brains. They will eventually click/engage with something that captures their attention based on the graphics and keywords used in the caption or thumbnail.

This has a higher rate of capturing your audience's attention, especially during presentations (which most videos are). If your audience is not paying attention to what you're saying, they can always view it.

To capture a Youtube video screenshot without the player controls, use the Hyde browser extension and the keystroke Ctrl+M to hide/unhide the controls.

Those who practice analog note taking have a high level of friction which prevents them from over-collecting (or "capture bloat", importing "all the things", or "collector's fallacy") ideas, which may not rise to a certain level of value. Beyond this, the requirement to find at least one other note to link each idea to provides a smaller hurdle against these hoarding practices.

While done in the framing of Reddit, this general pattern is the one that is generally seen in the IndieWeb community with their online chat and wiki.

Chat rooms + wiki = conversational ratchet for community goals

Being willing to capture an idea by spending the time writing it out in full is an incredibly strong indicator that it is actually worth capturing. Often those who use cut and paste or other digital means for their note capture will over-collect because the barrier is low and simple.

More often than not, if one doesn't have some sort of barrier for capturing notes, they will become a burden and ultimately a scrap heap of generally useless ideas.

In the end, experience will eventually dictate one's practice as, over time, one will develop an internal gut feeling of what is really worth collecting and what isn't. Don't let your not having this at the beginning deter you. Collect and process and over time, you'll balance out what is useful.

This is based on the fundamental misconception of the value that the commons adds to society.

I agree with everything in this post; I want to listen to more academic work in audio formats but find the process quite unsatisfying.

Either I find my attention drifting, or I’m switching between apps to try and capture the essence of something I’d like to come back to later.

I’m hoping that things like Momento help get us closer to the ability to capture information from audio sources, but this would need to be built into ebook readers or the operating system itself, in order to be more broadly useful.

It’d also need to be more reliable with respect to the quality of the machine learning transcription. At the moment it’s just useable, and requires a bit of interpretation.

I'm not sure exactly where this would fit in, but some way to reporting total service hours (per week or other time period) would be useful, esp as we start gauging traffic, volume, usage against number of service hours. In our reporting for the Univ of California, we have to report on services hours for all public service points.

Likewise, it may be helpful to have a standard way to report staffing levels re: coverage of public service points? or in department? or who work on public services?
