"Autonomously Generative Non-invasive interface (AGNi) turns devices into trustworthy, consent-driven and ubiquitous systems that learn you, to serve you. Its computing architecture breaks the double bind of privacy & safety vs. necessity & dependency. AGNi offers an unprecedented opportunity to repurpose tech & AI, to advance human flourishing. We are building a new ecosystem where your personal data is not usable against you, to manipulate you, where decentralized personal AI agents and services are shaped exclusively with your own data and context. The AGNi-verse is made of:
Sol Garden, an AI super-computer and a data-factory in your home, to empower your productivity, privacy, self-knowledge, well-being, health, education and entertainment.
Orchard, your safe and reliable AGNi-verse of devices that help reduce harms inflicted by tech (home-speaker, laptop, mobile phone), wearables (watch, ring, glasses) and robots.
Toolshed, a new privacy by design app-store that enables AI developers to build trustworthy AI services."
Yes, kind of baffling name choice? I suspect they totally misunderstood the concept as a replenishing / refreshing cycle rather than the self-perpetuating nature of suffering.
Or perhaps they are more to privvy to the depth and flavor of Buddhism than the average HN commentor. Nagarjuna says that samsara is nirvana and nirvana is samsara.
Similarly, Saraha says:
“Here in this body are the sacred rivers: here are the sun and moon as well as all the pilgrimage places… I have not encountered another temple as blissful as my own body.”
Nagarjuna said some apparently-odd things. Startling statements like that can be used to help gain realisation of emptiness (rather like koans). He used reasoning to attack conceptual thought.
You walk into a convention center. The greeter at the door hands you a banana cream pie. A few moments later, you're hit in the face with a banana cream pie. After the sense of shock subsides, you hit the nearest person in the face with your banana cream pie. You wish that no one had been given banana cream pies, but after getting hit with one, you certainly weren't going to not hit someone else with one, too.
I'm not qualified, but "The technology could serve as a renewable fuel source in high altitude and polar environments" from the first paragraph of the article suggests to me that the potential is pretty limited.
I wonder about the storage though. One would need to produce during summer/polar day for use in winter/polar night - is it feasible to store large quantities of hydrogen for 6 months?
My understanding is that hydrogen likes to leak because its atoms are smaller than the atoms of anything we’d contain it with. Though there are chemical ways to store it and I’m not familiar with those.
I suspect it'd be most practical in areas with limited heat and were other alternatives aren't as handy.
There's also a few areas where combustion engines are more practical than electric ones and hydrogen engines could be used as a stop-gap solution until electric alternatives catch up; there's only so much humanity can do at once and using combustion engines with renewable fuels could reduce emissions while we take our time focusing on other areas.
Absolutely. I recently switched my bookmark to https://news.ycombinator.com/best and I get much more high-quality links in the list. Now, I read about 60% of the stories. Previously it was more like 10%.
Also, links stay on the page for ~3 days, so I spend much less time scrolling because I already saw almost everything.
