Recognizing how costs can drop as investments are scaled up dramatically transforms assessments of costs in the longer run. Put simply, earlier investments make large-scale emission reductions easier to do over time because their unit costs drop.

I have a custom hook that I'm working on to make a fetch request to an api, and it is causing infinite re-renders. I'm struggling a bit to understand how the various parts of my application fit together -- in particular, my store (zustand) is using a middleware (immer) for immutable state, and I'm not certain why its drafting system isn't protecting me from changes in object identity. What tools can I use to try to track down what I've gotten wrong? I can't really leave the web page open very long because I'm making 1000s of requests per minute to the api I'm working against, so the Chrome dev tools are out, and the static analysis tools I set up (typescript and eslint) haven't identified any errors, like missing a dependency from the useEffect hook dependency array.

ROCKS ARE IMMUTABLE

Rocks are immutable and hold No scope for self-aggrandizement, Each well-worn pebble churned and rolled Suffers a like predicament.

Gripped in what mesh of causal schemes Endures each casual atom what When one perchanced electron screams A stuttering signal, and is not?

Grant then a gamete, grant a score By crabbed environment beset, And man the instrument, no more, And where’s the credit? Where the debt?

Or grant pure chaos, flickering chance, And life’s defection near and soon, Then mark the shock of circumstance, The day from solid darkness hewn — Rock is a shivering miracle, Betrayed in sunlight, gleaming wet, And love cries out in chlorophyll To welcome truth in petals yet!

— From These Our Matins (1930) by Michael Roberts.
