In some previous discussions of far-UVC, on LessWrong the idea was to let the far-UVC light be focused on the space above people’s heads so that you clear a lot of viruses in the air while not directly going on people’s skin.
Link? That sounds like “upper room” UVC, which is longer wavelengths (ex: 254nm), not far-UVC (222nm).
The output value is low, but not that low? I’ve run simulations with https://illuminate.osluv.org and it really looks pretty good to me. For example, in an 8ft x 12ft room with a 9ft ceiling, an AeroLamp DevKit in one corner at the ceiling pointed at the opposite corner gives you:
The effective CADR varies by pathogen, but the median of these estimates is 400 CFM which is pretty good (far better than any air purifier that is similarly quiet).
(And it does better in rooms with longer sight lines, so this room doesn’t show it at its best.)
Makes sense! And offering completion like this also builds buy-in.
Edited this to “even though the software industry has long-since automated this with compilers in typical development.”
That’s a good point, and possibly I should cut that example. But it seems to me that part of what the community is doing is picking arbitrary constraints that (at least until recently, probably much less so now) strongly favored human coding over automation. Do you know how the demoscene is handling the emergence of AI that is very good at coding?
It’s smaller than a minivan in all dimensions, including length, and those are unibody.
Sliding doors are normally combined with folding (or leaving out) a middle seat to give access to the back. With a third set of doors you can much more easily get in and out of the back.
1: That’s right. I technically should have said something like “don’t sell significantly appreciated stock to donate”.
2: That sounds right, but be careful with rules around wash sales.
There’s typically a step where you need to give your broker a letter, and some brokers require that letter to be notarized. What every.org is doing is automatically generating the letter, and walking you through the process.
Almost! I open my wallet first, so the “wallet side” layer is just a half layer holding in my cards.
Have you tried the steps that follow?
They don’t pay capital gains tax, so cost basis is irrelevant to the charity.
I don’t know, sorry!
This is a good thing to bring up, but I think it’a actually wrong. Wrote a post to explain.
Probably not too hard to make one! Pandoc is doing most of the work.
I think the biggest improvement would be if someone had an Apple developer account and could go through the notarization process so that it could be easy to install. Probably also with bundling pandoc. And it would be nice to get it into the Mac app store.
In terms of the functionality of the actual tool, the markdown it produces has more escaping than I would like. Several special characters seem to be always escaped, to be on the safe side, when instead they could be escaped only when necessary.
I like both logos individually, but they don’t look quite right next to each other. I think this should also be moot, though, because two apps is silly. Better to have a single menu bar app, with two clicks, one for markdown and another for normalization.
Instead of modifying the paste buffer, it would be nice to have a key combination for “apply the transformation and paste”. This one might not be possible, though perhaps it could be faked by modifying the buffer, pasting, and then restoring the buffer, very quickly.
That works quite well, and I used it for a while, but even though it is supposed to be entirely client side, I still would prefer not to be pasting anything non-public.
Why?
My (very non expert) understanding is that this would be a weaker feeling than many you get on a plane, and not rise to the level of conscious perception.
