> Only one nuke plant in the US was shut down over protests (San Onofre) and that took 20 years.

You are overestimating the effectiveness of protests and underestimating the effect of sentiment.

It isn't normal for a project to get shut down by protests; capital is already deployed, the government is already on side (having given the requisite approvals) and there is a lot of logistical momentum in place. A couple of protestors aren't going to slow down that sort of juggernaut.

On the flip side, sentiment has a huge impact on whether investors feel like funding cost-up-front ventures. It takes a decade to make the initial investment back, so they have to be confident that 2-3 distinct governments are not going to come up with a hare-brained energy policy that would disrupt the project's profits. They'd have to be very bold in the current environment, especially given the risk of the recent government activism in Germany spreading.

It isn't just possible, it is likely for a nuclear project to have some nonsensical change in standards applied to it by, ironically, anti-science environmentalists.

I think an interesting comparison is baking. Buying bread from a bakery or supermarket has become standard. It's even gotten to a point where baking your own bread might not be cheaper than buying it.

Not everything fits that mold, but I'm sure a few other categories of cooking will end up in that state. But not all things. For instance, rice/beans are just so cheap when dry. I can't see how a prepared version is going to bee cheaper than preparing your own.
I don't want to speak for others but that is exactly the way I experience it. I can sink deep into an unimportant but complex analytical problem after lunch and the next time I take note of time passing, it's 3AM and I forgot to drink, eat, go home, exercise, love, and sleep.

The amount of focus I'm capable of is not the problem. The problem is putting it to use where I want to, rather than where it, by pure chance, happens to end up for the day.

It also applies to the small stuff. Someone asks me to bake a cake and I think it's probably best if I know what temperature it should bake at. An hour later they ask me how the cake is coming along and I realise I know a lot about the chemistry of baking but I haven't brought out the flour yet, and I no longer have time to shower, shave, send that important email, and clean up after baking.

I go back and forth between viewing it as an inability to perceive time and an affliction of directing behaviour. Perhaps they're two lenses through which to view the same thing, and I haven't yet discovered their symmetries. (Only vaguely aware of them -- directing behaviour to achieve future goals requires the ability to perceive time acutely.)
Well, the field surrounding pain/injury is large and nuanced, so not only is that a difficult question to answer but it's also sort of the wrong question. And, firstly, I strongly recommend watching the linked video (if you have time). But I'll try my best here anyway.

Let's start with injury - what constitutes an injury? As in, how should the word "injury" be defined? This is a more complex issue than one might initially assume; not all pain is associated with an insult to tissue, not all insults lead to mechanical damage, insults that do lead to damage do not necessarily lead to pain, etc. So, mostly, injury tends to be defined as anything that leads to a reduction in function/performance in an organism. The ramifications of this definition are important, because things like a compound fracture, delayed-onset muscle soreness, and pain with no (known) underlying cause all meet the definition's criteria.

That last bit is the most important (and why I strongly recommend watching the video), because pain is not an input to the brain, rather it is an output of some function in the brain that takes a large number of inputs other than pain. This is basically the crux of the whole bio-psycho-social model, and why I said the original question is sort of the wrong question regarding injury. So here's the revelatory part, as it relates to the original question: aside from large and obvious traumas like a compound fracture, one cannot conclude that, because they are experiencing pain, physical damage to tissue has taken place. So looking for a heuristic to determine the state of some tissue after experiencing an event that led to pain is not really the right approach from the beginning, as one cannot be confident (and should not assume) that the tissue's state is awry at all.
Cooking as a service has been happening for awhile - canned goods, baked goods, boxed goods, frozen or pre-chopped veggies, pre-marinaded meat. At this point the vast majority of products available at grocers have had some sort of prep done to them. It's really just a matter of degrees.
The older example of FaaS would be communal kitchens and dining rooms, e.g. college dormitories or kibbutz lifestyles. In these cases, people arrive to where food is being prepped for them; there is no delivery cost.

Particularly in the case of families, the notion that food delivery will ever become cheap enough to be a default relies on negating delivery costs. It may be so cheap to prepare food in bulk as to offset the cost of labor to prepare it; however, that says nothing as to the cost of labor (and energy) to deliver it.

If we ever do develop some kind of solar-powered delivery drone whose cost amortizes out to practically nothing over the life of all of its deliveries, then maybe yes.

I also like the idea that it would be better labeled, “intention deficit disorder”.

Dr. Barkley’s talk completely altered my understanding of the disorder. I always knew I had it. My life roughly paralleled the author’s. After failing out of school, I found workarounds that got me through the second time (thanks to extremely supportive parents).

This video, combined with my wife’s urging, caused me to find a legitimate doctor who specialized in it (he’s ADHD too), and get treatment. I was already doing well with my coping mechanisms, but my life took off like a rocket with treatment.

This question is strange to me.

Mental models are simply how your brain works. You don't need to read books about them before they become effective.

You don't need to understand how your legs operate before you can learn to walk.

The only thing you can learn are concepts. But there's billions of them. It's what education does.

It's somewhat useful to understand how the brain operates through mental models. But there's only a single mechanism at play. Basically it's what happens when your brain sends emotional signals about your environment in relation to your mental model of it.

Its defintely cynical. Yes, the world is improving in many ways. Poverty is getting pretty better, diseases are fairly easier to fight, and infanticide isn't a thing. However, its also clear that governments have seemingly no interest trying to fight climate change and a large amount of the world is going to be suffering from the consequences of that in the future.

This is probably also culture-dependent. Most of the guys I know (including myself) cook in order to be able to, you know, continue existing. I knew of only one exception, which lasted until his divorce.

Maybe it's all because we as a nation have been through some tough times. It's hard to get used to cooking elaborate meals when you're happy to have anything edible on the table.
Your examples are headline understandings of science, and not how science actually progresses. Science has an issue with public perception of how it functions, hence when knew data demonstrates that old hypothesis were incomplete or indeed wrong, people like you say “See, the scientific method doesn’t work” when in fact these are beautiful examples of how science progresses.

New understandings of the “serotonin theory of depression” for instance, which is more accurately termed “monoamine hypothesis of depression” does not mean that science doesn’t work.

Science makes the best of what data is available. Monamines like serotonin substantial impact the course of clinical depression. Current understanding via the scientific method reveals that early hypothesis don’t explain everything. This is a refinement. It does not discount the effects of SSRIs it other antidepressants which currently help millions of people. Could we do better once we have a more complete picture of depression. Yes. And the scientific method is how we will get there.

Einstein’s theory of general relativity updated Newton’s laws of physics. Was Newton and the scientific method wrong? No, he simply didn’t have all the data, and the scientific method allowed us to refine those hypothesis.

I urge anyone who has trouble with the scientific method to read Carl Sagan’s fabulous book, Demon Haunted World.

I have ADHD and have literally trained myself to use Arrested Development to put myself to sleep. Always the same episode. Even with the most crowded mind, I lay down with one earbud in, and I can’t make it 3 minutes without passing out.

The rapid dialogue means there’s no opportunity for intrusive thoughts to enter, but I know it all by heart, so there’s zero intrigue in any of it.
This is a really interesting point of view... i don't think that there is a VALID possibility to determine always matching example projects, neither i think, a COMPILER should collect statistical data over time (what, if i lose this data?), but i like the approach.

Perhaps it should be a tool, that can be executed on git repositories for existing projects and plot a compile time graph to identify fishy commits...

sounds interesting though.

That's a label I've never heard of before. My younger self checks every single one of the boxes in the strength/weaknesses table. I graduated college with a 2.2GPA entirely on my ability to score really well on all the exams I managed to show up to.

I failed freshman composition 3 times in a row since it was the only class where tests were not part of the grade.

As an adult, I find that laziness had become a learned behavior. I was smart and generally easy-going meant that none of my K-12 teachers were willing to flunk me, but getting an A seemed out-of-reach. This meant that I could "get by" with minimal effort, while intense efforts didn't result in obviously visibly better outcomes.

I eventually found a good therapist (though Sturgeons law[1] definitely holds for therapists) and have been sorting things out since.

Any nation that could, by pure democratic vote of a sovereign people, turn itself into a direct democracy if it so desired, seems related enough to direct democracy that it makes little sense to distinguish it this way.

In the US, the constitutional amendment process simply requires enough people in enough states to make an amendment happen. The people of the US could turn the US into one gigantic direct democracy should enough people so democratically vote.

The fact that most people in the US seem satisfied with a representative democracy rather than a direct democracy hardly seems reason to say that the US is not a democracy at all.

All of those checks and balances at every level of government were established by either the people themselves or by representatives of the people on behalf of the people. They were not put in place by some king or dictator. The checks and balances could be undone anytime enough people wanted to undo them, up to and including voiding the current Constitution and starting over if enough people wanted to. Maybe this kind of democracy should be distinguished from a true direct democracy -- like maybe an acquiescent direct democracy, where as long as you keep doing what the people want they won't take back direct control or something.

But the fact of the matter is that the sovereign of the United States as a whole and of each of the states individually is and has always been the people, the demos, δῆμος -- from whence democracy (δημοκρᾰτῐ́ᾱ) comes.

I mean, it says it right there at the beginning of the establishing document, "We the people ..."

I feel the same way. I've never been diagnosed with ADHD but can relate to all the descriptions of it here.

In the past I jokingly said I need the stress and I think it holds true. In high pressure/thight deadline situations I can work with a high focus for hours but struggle working on projects which are going smooth.
> can’t even stand the thought of a task, class, or activity I’m not interested

But who is?

This is one of the problems in modern society, the concept that if you're not interested in something then you can skip it and find a medical excuse.

No-one ( generalising ) likes doing tax returns or washing dishes, but you need to look beyond the immediate discomfort to the longer-term benefits. That is self-discipline, not some magical superpower.

> assuming that you got them tested and licensed

This one is the kicker - it costs about $10-20k to get a device FCC certified, at least for part 90 devices, which is the industry I work in. A license to operate the devices runs around $500 (for ten years).
Now you’ve added a variable declaration, which makes life more painful for keeping your polyfill small. The name of the game in these things is minimising size—though I will allow that a more verbose form can be useful for teaching.
Deterministic code would be running under a hard real-time kernel such as VxWorks or bare-metal and would be designed such that all timing has fixed upper-bounds.

This involves reasoning about the scheduling of tasks to ensure that in worst-case situations, your timing requirements are still being met.

All safety-critical systems would be deterministic, you simply would not get certified otherwise.

Note: Theres much more to safety-critical application design, but basically, you have to be able to prove the behaviour of you code under all circumstances, which typically means no garbage-collection, dynamic-allocation, etc.

"I divide my officers into four groups. There are clever, diligent, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined.

Some are clever and diligent -- their place is the General Staff.

The next lot are stupid and lazy -- they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties.

Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the intellectual clarity and the composure necessary for difficult decisions.

One must beware of anyone who is stupid and diligent -- he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always cause only mischief."

Those are two drastically different artstyles. Neither of them really are engine shader stuff, just someone drawing good textures in Photoshop.

Paper Mario is all hand-authored baked vertex colors and very simple textures. Artists spent a lot of time in Maya hand-tweaking each vertex individually, e.g. see my viewer here https://noclip.website/#ttyd/jin_00

Borderlands has some basic engine technology with outlines -- running a basic Sobel on the depth buffer to find depth discontinuities and drawing lines there, but most interior lines are on the texture itself. Lighting is also modified with a ramp -- the "raw" incoming radiance from lighting is thrown into an artist-authored lookup table and tweaked before being thrown to the shader. Normal maps are seldom used.
With respect to Python and RTOS, this is a copy paste of what I posted few months ago on a similar thread, here on HN:
----

No safety relevant code is written in Python. All the safety relevant code runs real-time on a STM32 micro (inside the Panda), it's written in C and it's placed at the interface between the car and the EON. This code ensures the satisfaction of the 2 main safety principles that a Level 2 driver assistance system must have: 1- the driver needs to be able to easily disengage the system at any time; 2- the vehicle must not alter its trajectory too quickly for the driver to safely react. See https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/blob/devel/SAFETY.md

Among the processes that runs on the EON, you can find algorithms for perception, planning and controls. Most of it is actually autogenerated code in C++ (see model predictive controls). Python code is used mainly as a wrapper and for non-computational expensive parts. To use functional safety terminology, the EON functionality is considered QM (Quality Management). This means that any failure in delivering the desired output at the right time is perceived as bad quality and has no safety implications. So, how often those algorithms deliver the wrong output because some parts are written in Python? How often because RT isn't enforced? Negligible. Pretty much all the mistakes of a level 2 driver assistance system are due to the quality of the algorithms, the models, the policies etc… There is a long way to go before changing the coding language will be the lowest hanging fruit to improve the system. Until then, using the simplest and most agile coding language (given performance constraints) is probably the best way to maximize quality.

For those on the West Coast, well LA, we actually have access to incredible hot chicken in Howlin' Rays. The chicken definitely stays true to the Nashville original and they have the lines to prove it (peak is like 3 hours).
This is all pure navel gazing, of course, but:

It goes at least back to Pluvius (in, amongst other places, BoW) in 1994, but I'm pretty sure he didn't come up with it either --- BoW itself was an ironic commentary on the whole scene, and wrote casually about "scripts" because everyone knew what that word meant.

And so what's interesting isn't "script kiddie" --- "kiddie" has been an all-purpose pejorative since forever --- but "scripts", which have an interesting etymology that crosses over between IRC scripts and exploits. "Cookbook" used to be another related term which has fallen by the wayside.

"Zero day" is another term with interesting roots, originally referring not to vulnerabilities and exploits but to pirated games; there was a whole "days"-denominated scale for freshness of warez.
