Really, really weird that the article doesn't even mention nitrogen, nostoc or heterocysts. I'm not sure you can have a conversation about the great oxygen holocaust without at least bringing up one of the primary reasons we know "something" about the conditions before the event, specifically that there are still bacteria around today who are putting out a pretty significant amount of effort to create anoxygenic environments specifically for nitrogen fixation; that nitrogen as a terminal electron receptor basically 'cant happen' in the presence of oxygen.

Its just weird to not discuss the evolutionary lineage that still uses pre-oxygenation event hardware (with some extreme bug fixes to deal with oxygen) to fix nitrogen.

Effectively, we've been out-competed in all the low complexity niche; life adds complexity to take advantage of novel niche where there is less competition.

You also might be able to get a 'compression' sample of space in the same manner, by running an auto-encoder in training mode. Rather than trying to do some kind of hack directly, it collects the same data you mentioned, but rather, is just training on the data in an auto-encoding compression framework. Then it can 'hand off' the compressed models weights, which hypothetically, can be queried or used to simulate the environment. Obviously, there is a lot more to this, but its an interesting idea.

The main business of any industry is manufacturing demand.

Hollywood having given over almost entirely to franchises regurgitating the same tired plots and stories ad-nauseam would seem to agree with you.

Is it possible to self host signal? Can signal move towards a model like the fediverse where the software development is decoupled from the hosting costs?

If they were on SteamOS or some other linux variant for this use case, I probably would have gone with them. The hardware is much better.

But the UI; how I actually interact with the system? I care about that.

But its fine, I don't mind a bit of a used car salesman vibe. I still respect his work on RtR

Quite literally yes. There are often multiple click throughs. Every Department, agency, sub-agency, all the way down to federal dog catcher has decided the most important thing is to invent a new way of getting data from them.

This is the sense I was trying to communicate.

I'm not flooring it, but when I make a speed adjustment, it happens 'right away'. There is no delay. Its immediate.

Idk what the 0-60 of my leaf is but I beat every one off the line when I want to. It makes me far more comfortable on the freeway to get all the power I want on demand to quickly and safely make a maneuver. I would never have considered it before owning an EV, but now that I have one, I'll definitely be considerate of it in my next EV purchase.

Previously I had only had crappy used ICE vehicles, and the acceleration was so bad it had never occurred to me how much better driving could be with good acceleration. I probably wouldn't include it in my calculus for an ICE vehicle, but I'll probably never purchase another ICE vehicle either.

There is another option here, where organic precursors accumulate via some currently unexplored process.

Really any system capable of creating themrodynamic disequilibrium and a chemical gradient could be an option. An example of this might be the freeze and thaw cycle of large planetoids. Swing close to the planet, warm up enough, move away, cool enough. Just a basic cycle (I believe the surface images of Pluto support the existence of such cycles). If volatile ices can have just enough warth to create bonds, there are many many many more of these types of objects than well places 'goldilocks' planets. Give it enough time and one will knock out of orbit and smash into a planet that does have adequate conditions for the development of life. Just a bunch of precursor chemistry to life, but plenty of it.

I've tried to look into deep space volatile ice chemistry but haven't exactly found great resources. But it strikes me that if a simple extraplanetary mechanism for pre-life chemistry accumulation exists, well, then life is probably pretty much everywhere.

I've done 3 new computer builds in the previous 6 months.

Both Linux installs were an 'it just works experience'.

The windows box has been a total pain in the ass and I've had to reinstall multiple times.

Linux is a better out of the box experience than Windows.
