<p>The 2024 plan would have reduced annual CO₂ emissions by about 533 million metric tons by 2040. That's roughly equivalent to taking half of all U.S. passenger cars and light-duty trucks off the road.<p>With the rollback, that reduction will no longer occur. So, this is significant.</p>

<p>you're comparing years, not standards. i hope you're just foolish and not intentionally disingenuous.<p>"The 2024 standards required existing coal plants and new gas plants to capture 90 percent of carbon emissions or shut down by 2039, which would have reduced carbon pollution by an estimated 1.38 billion metric tons through 2047"<p>Before the 2024 Carbon Pollution Standards, the federal limits were much weaker—and for existing power plants, there was effectively no operative federal CO₂ limit at all.</p>

<p>i don't think so - the ascent looked good. i don't think they need to put the ship on another suborbital trajectory because the booster landing burn failed. also, i don't think this impacts prop transfer or ship catch - both are separate problems.</p>

<p>Scout is the best tool for finding activities for your child.<p>I built this to solve my personal pain point.<p>Currently the best solutions are wordpress blogs where people manually aggregate this information. But human-run blogs can't possibly find every event, they don't know what my child's interests are or what's near my home, so my wife & I would spend hours just learning what we can do with our child.<p>Scout is totally different. Our Agents intelligently crawl the web and find everything in a specific geographic region. We're staring with Seattle, where I live.<p>Scout event has an "inclusivity" filter which lets you find events that are sensory friendly, ASL/assistive listening/captioning, LGBTQ+ & trans affirming, wheelchair accessible, etc.<p>My favorite feature is the daily email with a curated list of events for you. This week I've gone to 2 events based on those emails alone.<p>Please take a look and give me your feedback!<p>demo: <a href="https://youtu.be/6wEVtp7-wV4" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/6wEVtp7-wV4</a><p>The link above is the web version, we've also got mobile/tablet apps:

<p>i wonder if this is how engineers felt when the first electronic calculators came out and engineers stopped doing math by hand.<p>did we feel uneasy that a new generation of builders didn't have to solve equations by hand because a calculator could do them?<p>i'm not sure it's the same analogy but in some ways it holds.</p>

<p>>I love (Neo)Vim. Like I wrote earlier, it's been my primary editor for the past 15 years. What I don't love is all the configuration that goes into it before I can use it to start writing code.<p>this resonates with me. i've spent so much time configuring neovim in the terminal (kitty) and i've never had everything work 100% of the time. simple things just like seeing an entire typescript error are challenging to get working. those errors just continue on one line outside of the screen.<p>with LLM's the tradeoff tipped in the favor of cursor with the neovim extension.<p>> 2. It just works<p>so i switched to cursor last week from neovim in the terminal and this is how i feel. but, i'm not going to invest more time to check out Zed now that i just got cursor set up the way i like it.<p>but it's great to see all the progress in IDE's lately.</p>

<p>i think this type of interaction is the future in lots of areas. i can imagine we replace API's completely with a single endpoint where you hit it up with a description of what you want back. like, hit up 'news.ycombinator.com/api' with "give me all the highest rated submissions over the past week about LLMs". a server side LLM translates that to SQL, executes the query, returns the results.<p>this approach is broadly applicable to lots of domains just like FFMpeg. very very cool to see things moving in this direction.</p>
