knowaveragejoe··on Rising carbon dioxide levels now detected in human blood
I'm sorry but if you are trying to both-sides this issue then you are either woefully uninformed or just being contrarian for the sake of it.

There really wasn't. The person you replied to covered as much. They had the opportunity for a few big bills, which they did - much of it ultimately stemming from concerns around climate change.
knowaveragejoe··on Global warming has accelerated significantly
Any excuse to pretend we aren't contributing.

You do the people causing this problem a great service with false equivocations like this. It is clear one group would prefer us to ignore the problem and do nothing at all - in fact encourage the problematic behavior - and the other would very much like to take action on the issue if they had the political power.

If you haven't experienced it yet, you will soon.
knowaveragejoe··on U.S. government has lost more than 10k STEM PhDs since Trump took office
We all know the actual solution is to build housing, right?

I don't think this is necessarily a good thing. I'm in favor of the private sector, but these public sector research and scientific institutions also do very important work.

Some of the most brightest and accomplished scientists out of academia elect to forgo a higher paying private sector job in order to go into the civil service and work on even higher impact, lower paying jobs that don't necessarily chase an obvious profit motive. Ask yourself why.

The sign up link leads to a 403, just fyi.

Yes, it's Strudel.

Isn't the broader idea here valid? Will news agencies have cryptographic attestation in their cameras?
knowaveragejoe··on The security paradox of local LLMs
If I understand correctly, Claude Code will(shortly, if not already) make use of Anthropic's sandbox that wraps Seatbelt on OS X, not sandbox-exec?

It's cool that they made this open source. It seems straightforward and useful enough that it could be used on its own for sandboxing purposes.

Is there any chance your talk was recorded?

This got buried quick.
knowaveragejoe··on ChatGPT Atlas
It depends on what I'm looking for, but by and large yes. It's still much faster.
knowaveragejoe··on Antarctica is starting to look a lot like Greenland–and that isn't good
That doesn't make any sense.
knowaveragejoe··on AI is making us work more
Not that this is actually what will happen, but: technological unlocks by R&D utilizing AI in the production of all of those things could make them dramatically cheaper or efficient.
knowaveragejoe··on How much Anthropic and Cursor spend on Amazon Web Services
I can't think of an AI critic with more detailed writing on the subject.

knowaveragejoe··on America is getting an AI gold rush instead of a factory boom
That's a condemnation of zoning laws artificially restricting the market for housing, which ironically only came about after that period of relative abundance
knowaveragejoe··on America's future could hinge on whether AI slightly disappoints
It needs to be paired with an understanding that they do this _with their own money_ and with _their skin in the game_, which are fundamentally missing from broader command economies.
knowaveragejoe··on America is getting an AI gold rush instead of a factory boom
What's missed in that nostalgia: the house was crap; the appliances, if any, were crap; the car(if you had one, and only one), was crap. On and on.

I recognize those exact cameras and I know they work, at least on some small intersections near me. I also know some intersections without them that operate on a timer.
knowaveragejoe··on California needs to learn from Houston and Dallas about homelessness
That's not what a zoning code does.
knowaveragejoe··on Sora 2
I wasn't claiming they had ownership of that aesthetic, and that sort of gets into philosophical questions about whether one can own such a thing anyways. I like the style and I'm glad they have the tools to bring it into clarity from the abstract.
knowaveragejoe··on Pharma is a small component of US health care spending
I don't think they were insinuating that _you_ were making that assumption, but rather that your line of reasoning must necessarily make that assumption if brought to fruition

I love the aesthetic in this person's videos, I just wish it wasn't on tiktok :(
knowaveragejoe··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2025)
I appreciate what you're doing here. I think it's really important to have this kind of high level overview of these species. I have a little feedback based on clicking around the site.

When you click on a country in the map view(under Elephants, for example), I think the map still has focus instead of the card. So this means you can't highlight text, click on links, etc within the card. Also if you scroll using the scroll wheel, you end up zooming in and out on the map.

I wonder if it would be good to have a "see more" link or some such here, so you can view the same information in the card, but on its own discrete page for each country?

knowaveragejoe··on CubeSats are fascinating learning tools for space
> I agree though, my dream for years has been an open source CubeSat bus design that covers say 80% of academic CubeSat use cases and can be modified by the user for the other 20%

Surely this, or something like it, exists?
