Other people are dismissing this idea right off the cuff because of the arsenic concentration but that's a good thing. Now we use it as a feed stock for arsenic loving single celled creature. Then we concentrate it further. And again and again until you have arsenic pure enough for use. Then you can add that arsenic back into the pesticide and herbicide production processes that helped it get into the seawater instead of mining it on land.

That's my thoughts here.

We have these LLM tools, and the questions is "We have X amounts of sargasso algae, and it bioaccumulates arsenic. What bioremedative pathways to accumulate and extract arsenic, in order to heal the oceans, make safer food, and get pure arsenic for the silicon GaAs Industry?"

I've a friend who has access to base 3d printers, and can print up to 12k RNA base pairs. We're now at the point of growing our own remediation.

The LLMs are sold as a panacea. Time to start having them carry their salt, or their gallium arsenide and silicon.


I think bringing back the glaciers would expose more human sites on coastlines than melting them to expose smatterings of mountain sites.

It's almost like the news is being reported. Very suspicious.

Well, very suspicious indeed when you consider the timelines.

The information being released and then news coming out about it is suspicious? Or is there some bias you're being cagey about?

The "information" is known at least since this year start... you don't need to wait to see actual "latest" earnings reports to arrive at the these conclusions.

Oh, I guess we read different articles. Happens sometimes.

Can't they just get credit from the free market?

Are you arguing that the government shouldn't be prepared?

Has China invaded any countries or captured any foreign leaders this year?


incredible reach

> India and China share a disputed 3,440km (2,100-mile) boundary known as the Line of Actual Control (LAC). This de facto border runs through remote and inaccessible natural paths along the Himalayas, passing through rivers, remote mountains and forest cover. It is ill-defined and its demarcations have remained a source of contention between two neighbours who fought a major war in 1962, in which India suffered a humiliating defeat.


Historically, Vietnam and Tibet, though Taiwan seems on deck to be next.

But if we have to reach back to 1951 to show how warmongering China is then it's not very convincing is it? Taiwan is as of today a hypothetical. I've been hearing it's going to happen any day now since the 1990s.

The Sino-Vietnamese war was in 1979; the Tibetan takeover was in the 50's. Regarding Taiwan, how about PRC's own laws? https://us.china-embassy.gov.cn/eng/zt/twwt/200503/t20050315... (Article 8 is the relevant one)

> The Sino-Vietnamese war was in 1979

I'm aware.

> the Tibetan takeover was in the 50's

Yes, so we're reaching back to the 50s to get to the same numbers as the US has racked up in the past year. What we if we compared the numbers since 1950?

> Article 8 is the relevant one

And has there been an invasion or a toppling of any leaders? No, so again this shows there's a grown up way of recognising there's differences without going all in on war at the drop of a hat.


If you were aware, why were you reaching for the further date as to minimize my point, rather than the more contemporary events? It came off as bad faith.

Further, I was not equivocating the US and China, hence my qualifier of "historically" in my other post; it was said that way to point out that China has in fact invaded other countries in the past. If your bar for "no, its ok" is "hasn't invaded a country in the past 12 months", then by that bar, the vast majority of countries on Earth are just dandy. I think that line of thinking is naive, though.

Regarding article 8; for a law to say what is essentially "we will invade you", and your response is "well... haven't happened yet! It's fine!", that again shows either a bad faith engagement or just naivity.


I noticed a machine of my was using a Chinese mirror for Debian apt. Switching to the US apt source brought in updates to cacerts and libbrotli. Not trying to insinuate anything, my mirror was just outdated, and yours (plural) could be too.

If your database gets bigger does the software get better too?

Can't, I'm unable to reach twitter support until I've scanned my finger prints on the app.

You don't know how many people have already quit. You don't know how many will quit. But you do know that someone that quits also loses any influence they have on the decisions.
