Needing massive amounts of storage to make renewable work is an often repeated myth. Large reductions in carbon output are achievable with current storage with a mixture of wind, limited solar and the right price/balancing incentives.
Tbh the oura ring has been a game changer for a data nerd like me. I can easily see how some exercise in the day actually impacts my HRV[1] and then the quality of my sleep. Had a heavy night of drinking? Watch what the oura ring reports not just on the same night but even the next night :) Basically if you're thinking of starting your own "protocol" for sleep and would like to A/B test what works and what seems like superfluous ceremony, the oura ring is a cost-effective way to measure the effectiveness of said protocol.

I think the protocol described in the article isn't anything terribly new. Most folks on HN know that blue light actually messes with sleep so if you're planning on using a screen until right before you goto bed it's a great idea to use the blue-light canceling computer glasses. Mindfulness meditation is generally a great practice to calm oneself and be reflective. I don't personally sleep at 8:45pm (rather, 11:45pm) but I do have my meal a few hours before I goto bed. I also don't drink much water closer to bedtime so I'm not rudely awakened in the middle of the night to urinate. I live in a place where the black-out blinds aren't a necessity. I've never messed with deep sound waves.

Of course, some folks will exclaim "Well I don't need a device to give me a report card on how well it thinks I slept!" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Don't equivocate eating food to smoking. There is no evidence that someone who consumes a healthy level of calories (whether those calories are wheat-based, meat-based, potato-based, etc) are putting themselves on any kind of path to cancer or heart disease.

Carbs are carbs. Protein is protein. Fat is fat. Sure, some types of foods (including fried foods) have excessive calories for the average American lifestyle. That's been known for decades. But there is no evidence that calories from broccoli are any less or more cancerous than calories from potatoes or bread or vegetable oil.

My experience is not an outlier.

This guy has eaten 30,000 Big Macs, perfectly healthy: https://people.com/food/mcdonalds-big-mac-supersize-me-don-g...

Studies on diets with a variety of macros (but the same calories):
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19246357
CONCLUSIONS:
Reduced-calorie diets result in clinically meaningful weight loss regardless of which macronutrients they emphasize.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17413101
CONCLUSIONS:
These findings provide more detailed evidence to suggest that diets differing substantially in glycemic load induce comparable long-term weight loss.
I don’t really see how nuclear power is helping you to replace all the fossil fuel cars on US roads with electric ones. Extending mass transit could be done in smaller timeframes given sufficient political will.

political will

Yes! And money! Convince people to vote for that now! Convince 100 million US voters! Anyone who has taken an interest in municipal politics knows how expensive and inefficient it is to service suburbs with transit service. The suburbs themselves are the problem. Just don't tell the people living in them that!

Even then power generation for electric cars is really not a major issue with renewables: most cars will be charged during the day when for example solar power is quite abundant. So I don’t recognize the argument for nuclear power here.

On cloudy days, in the winter, do you just not go to work? Does everyone stay home from work? Or does everyone draw from the utility-scale storage to charge their cars? 3TW doesn't include cars - presumably we need to store power for them?
Per the point of the article, take "radioactive material" and just change it to "toxic" or "hazardous material".

Which avenues produce the most? Even PVs + batteries require mining and by-product disposal with environmentally devastating materials, and the fatalities cause by burning coal is almost immeasurable.
So these are all remote islands, microstates, two west African countries and one east African countries that all have U.S. State Dept. travel warnings, and Moldova.

My hack is just fall asleep when putting the kids to sleep and wake up whenever I feel like. If I've been pushing hard, sometimes I'll take all 10 hours, other nights I'm up at 4am ready to work.

My thinking is that long haul happens over public roads, and the problem of navigating public roads hasn't been solved yet.

However, shorter distances especially inside large industrial zones (like in the linked article) can be reliably automated.

But yeah, however you look at it, being a truck driver in industrial countries might not be a wise long-term career choice: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/apr/07/convoy-se...
That article is accurate to what I remember. I specifically remember that they did not say one way or the other until they had proof, which was about 2 months later. I wish I remember exactly the Japanese phrase that they were using. I should have written it down.

No, but it announced Apple Arcade which is an iOS/TVOS/macOS gaming subscription service.
There's plenty of reasons why a simple radio attack is potentially more serious than a missile attack.

It's a lot easier to buy an SDR than a SAM -- even ignoring the cost differential. I don't know the black market cost of a man portable SAM, but the SDR described in the article is less than $1000 and you can buy it commercially.

If you're caught with an SDR in your suitcase, no one will likely know what it is "I use it to listen to shortwave, here, I'll demo", while if you're caught with a SAM, you'll likely end up in jail.

No one is going to build a SAM in their hotel room, but it doesn't take much specialized skill to solder together a radio jammer using schematics transferred to you over the internet.

And finally, you can use the radio jammer from a backpack and no one will know it's there, but the SAM will leave a trail leading back to you.
>For context, for my first job as a developer the take home assignment I got was creating a web app that logged realtime CPU usage and created a graph of that CPU usage that was updated in real time.

That's at worst a 4 hour job to do with a beer over the weekend. You sound incredibly incompetent if you can't tell the difference in difficulty between that and that they asked OP to do.

Gotcha.

I do agree about homoiconicity. It's great for writing macros, and terrible for everything else. Of course, go too far in the other direction and you get perl, so... yeah.

You don't. I bet you don't understand how a coal or hydro plant works either. People operating them do.
Evolution as Backstop for Reinforcement Learning
I sometimes get cravings for salt, or milk, or OJ, which I indulge on the basis you've stated. It isn't clear I could fool my body with the wrong thing though.

My milk cravings for example, I don't know what nutrients my bodies after, but my body does, and presumably my body will know when it's got it, so the fact that I've recently drunk some white liquid shouldn't matter.

I assume that as I don't consciously know what my body is after, my body also isn't influenced by what my conscious thinks its consuming.
yes, instead they buy phones for 1k.

US is the aggrieved party. It has full right to make sure that the wrongs do not continue.
This is terrific and I can't wait to try it. Thanks!
I mostly agree, but I've never spared the fat when dieting, just the carbs. You can make a highly varied diet of delicious food if you're cool with fat (you have to be very conscious of how many calories you're consuming, though, because it's very easy to go overboard). A Kale salad with an oil-based dressing and absolutely loaded with nuts and cheese is not something I would consider a chore to eat.
I don't think it's actually that multi-faceted. It's simple. 1. We have a coal problem. Fixing that would buy us critical space in the climate change equation. 2. Nuclear is the only viable short-term alternative. 3. Nuclear has a bad reputation, but new information has come to light (modern reactor design, handling of waste, total impact proportional to coal). We need a lot of active debate on this.
Vulkan _is_ a lock-in API, locking you into Google platforms; the one commercially viable platform using it is [recent versions of] Google's Android with another one on the horizon - Google Stadia. It's not necessary on Windows, not available on two of the three consoles, and not available without a wrapper on iOS and OSX.

(Technically, it is also available on Nintendo Switch, but there's also an arguably better alternative there.)
I think a lot of people are going to prefer to run games locally. I'm looking forward to playing strategy games on Stadia or games where lag isn't too critical. For quick reflex games, lag is important. And if VR games ever take off, lag is going to be critical.
I routinely hear about how btrfs is unreliable, unstable, and corrupts your data.

But it's also been the default filesystem for SUSE Linux and Synology NAS products for a long time now, and they don't seem to be having any problems.

I don't know what to believe.
There aren't any I could find, I had to do everything from first principles and the notebooks were left with my employer.
You hit on my biggest concern, the fact that Stadia is DRM on steroids. Relative further reading for anybody that has questions on DRM and it's effects[1][2].

Removing Coordinated Inauthentic Behavior
I'm not trying to say there's no correlation from some subgroups. Obviously there is.

I'm trying to say that if you're trying to predict performance in a new environment (college) you can improve the prediction by correcting for factors (bad home environment during high school) that affect current test scores but won't be active in the future.

How large the correction should be can only be answered by large population studies.
When did you get this job? Has something similar happened to you before?
Do the math. Figure out how much water you need to lift and how high to supply a day of 3TW of power.
We don't really regulate the number of cigs that someone can smoke a day.
Let me rephrase my point: if school was more engaging and less of a punishment (which is what it can feel like for these already disadvantaged kids) then they might be more inclined to want to go. Obviously some home situations are too rough to sort out, but I think that's a situation where the government needs to step in.
And now they will be able to play AAA games on those phones.
Not sure how to feel about it. Goes to a poor country, complains that it's poor.
When plans fail and crash, it's a catastrophe. And yet we trust technology and process to fly everywhere all the time. We need to put nuclear in the same place in our hearts.

(I think the root cause of why it's not is irrational fear of radiation, which is why I love https://xkcd.com/radiation/ so much)
> IP is owned by a law firm with some engineers attached that was kickstarted by the CIA.

I use ZFS and know a bit of the history, but it took me a while to realize that meant "Oracle". I didn't realize CIA was their first customer (something I found while googling just now) but I suppose that's not too surprising. Although to be fair I am not sure having CIA as a client in 1977 means much for ZFS.
As a Moldovan citizen: There's nothing[1] to see in Moldova (even if you get a good local guide [2], and are willing to travel to the country side and outside the capital).

Watch Eurotrip instead, and you'll get an accurate depiction of a yet another poor post-Soviet East European country.

[1] Well, there's something to see, obviously, but you need to know exactly what, and where, and it will be overwhelmed by, well, how poor, bad and shoddy everything else is.

[2] If you are going, ask Azbuca Travel on Facebook, they specialise in local tours. Sorry for advertisement :D
That sounds like it sucks. We'd probably need some more information to help though. Who shouted at you, what did they say, what is their working relationship to you?

Why did you travel 10000km for a job? Is it just for that job, or did you travel to that place because you want to be there and you picked this job? Can you go back.

So many questions. Maybe tell us a bit more about the situation and you'll get some better thought out responses in return. Otherwise it is guesswork.

I see you are giving some more information in the thread, but it would be good to hear a lot more. Do it in a way that protects anonymity of course.

Someone shouting at you is bad, and it's a red flag for me to think about quitting* but not necessarily enough by it's own to quit a job.

* Because even if it is a colleague not the boss, its an organization that has a culture where this is acceptable. And most likely it will happen again. And I don't have the zen abilities to let stuff like that go. infact it would ruin my physical and mental health. Workplaces where I am bullied are an instant quit for me, but thats based on a bunch of reasons that might not apply to other people.
Wireguard supports roaming IPs and is typically a lot faster / less resource intensive than OpenVPN.

I haven't bothered setting up wireguard yet, but on paper it looks a lot better and when it's stable I suspect a lot more people will jump on board.
If Rust does manage it, I confidently predict someone will be submitting a GHC proposal within the week.
> If I look for a new job I have to go through the visa application process again.

If you are a sensitive person who cannot tolerate being shouted at then I'd say it's not a big issue if you go through the visa process again. If you are truly miserable in your current situation like you said, then it's not good for your mental health to stay there longer than absolutely necessary.
I see a lot of remote jobs on angel list, here on HN, on SO and also LinkedIn. I work in Prague and there are two different US companies from NYC that have setup dev shops here, so they are for sure hiring remote engineers and paying almost what you might make in a smaller US market. So the number of remote jobs is only increasing.

But that’s the point: your choices are food products that are allowed under regulations.

> The only reason we don't do it today is economic [...]

Which would appear to be a disqualifying issue since the entire reason people are advocating for nuclear and not renewables is economic.
They don't have to deflect the plane that far -- if they can just deflect it 100 ft to the side to land on a busy taxiway or a parallel runway that's under construction with heavy equipment on it, that could cause a disastrous crash (or to land 100 ft before the start of the runway onto a freeway or water)

Ideally the pilot would notice and correct, but in poor visibility, maybe they wouldn't have time.
Right, the line has to be drawn somewhere. I shouldn’t be locked into design decisions or be expected to write adapter code for a handful of users who insist on running a version of my app that was released two years ago.
just saying that for 1k you get a decent PC too.

besides it's not the "real" experience.
I would say that is something truckdrivers spend a lot of time avoiding, by exprience and professionalism. The same can not be said about driverless tech companies, everyone really want to be first, that makes children and other soft targets losers.
$500k a Year yet Struggling? Let's Do a Double Take
What's funny is that Instagram have to defend themselves from this nonsense.
Is there a handy chart or reference for this you could share?
If the radar cannot distinguish between a bridge with five meters of clearance and a "bridge"(trailer) with a single meter of clearance, then the radar simply lacks the angular resolution to be effective. It's the same exact issue as it being unable to distinguish objects on the side of the road and objects in the middle of the road.

It's insufficient angular resolution for the application, no matter which way you slice it.
Food is much more complex than fiber vs. calories. I am not a scientist there but I observe myself and others a lot. When I eat certain foods I can eat a lot without weight gain, my digestions works, my mind works, I go to the bathroom regularly. When I eat junk food, I gain weight, I feel sluggish and I often get constipated. Unless I am very special, which I don't think I am, I assume other people experience the same thing.
Exactly and to address the other child comment, those $1k phones have hardware to render AAA games now. Google doesn’t realize they don’t actually have a sustainable audience. It’s sad.
You can probably work in some kind of FTE exemption.

It would need careful writing, otherwise it might introduce more precarity by encouraging employers not to offer full time contracts.
What? Vulkan is cross platform, not limited to Google or anyone else. You want Vulkan on your hardware and your OS? No one is stopping you from making a driver for it, it's an open API. For example, radv was made as Vulkan driver for AMD on Linux without AMD directly involved even (with big contributions from Valve).

If MS and Sony wanted, they could have Vulkan driver for Xbox and PlayStation tomorrow, since they are all using AMD GPUs. And no one stopped Apple from supporting Vulkan on their systems either. They don't, since they are also lock-in jerks, which is exactly the point I was making above.
Okay, so updated:

> Perhaps nuclear advocates haven't considered [that if we can slow down climate change then we'll have to make some steady societal changes over the next few thousand years (instead of over a much smaller time-frame) to adapt to the Earth's natural climate changes]

Not to be rude, but you're wasting peoples' time when you don't even follow your own line of thinking in your comments. You've made quite a few comments on this post that don't really contribute to the discussion.
Wikipedia article linked also says "As of 2018 the concept is loose and evolving" linking to a newer article than the UN report, so why would I think this paper used the UN definition?

The Wikipedia article further goes on to state "The utility of the NOVA classification has been subject to criticism. However, a 2018 publication from the founders of the NOVA classification uncovered misleading and incorrect statements in the critical appraisal, as well as non-disclosed conflicts of interest."

Basically, I don't see a terribly agreed upon definition. Things point several ways, and the GP's concern about definition is entirely valid.
Isn't it already confirmed that next gen Song and Microsoft consoles are still with AMD?
Cool, but I'm not sure how effective it is showing people a picture of their house submerged in water. What I'd like to see is a well illustrated example of what desertification and sustained 110 degree temperatures looks like. Flooding is easy to understand; the region you live in becoming uninhabitable because of extended drought is harder to conceptualize.
My own back of the napkin calculation:

5.1T / 10 Years = .51T / Year

Current US Stock Market Cap: 153% of 21T = 53T [0][1]

.51T of 53T = 0.9%

For reference; the 2000s bubble had the stock market decrease by 36% over 3 years, the 2008 bubble 45% over 2 years [0].

I'd say "tank the economy" is an overstatement. I'm glad to be shown otherwise _with sources_

They say "20% as loud as a helicopter" and I found a Bell J2-A at 100 Ft is 100dB, so maybe 93ish dB at 100 feet? That's about as loud as a motorcycle at 25 feet, so significantly louder still than any road traffic.
I think you're neglecting a key detail, which is that no one who wants death is going to stick around and vote for death after the victim dies.

Nearly every the vote that comes in after the victim is dead will be a sympathy vote.

The people who vote for death are pretty much only going to vote before the suicide, and specifically in hopes of seeing it. After that, what's to vote for?
It seems like all the major players are taking game streaming seriously. I'm still not very sure about the viability.

There's the obvious DRM win. Accessibility will be higher with way lower or non-existent hardware costs. These probably look very enticing on a cooperate slide deck. Not to mention the subscription model.

On a more technical side game streaming is only really desirable for games that don't run well on commodity hardware (see AAA 3D action titles). Latency is very important for these titles and the general rule of thumb is that 50ms of input latency is readily noticeable to humans. Average home connections have ~20-30ms round trip latencies. These speeds are not a reality everywhere or consistent. Combined with hardware input, world simulation, and rendering latencies it can be difficult to get latencies low enough to be comfortable.

Modern games just have the client run its own world simulation and rectify with the server later to hide the network latency. This strategy won't be possible with streaming. Is there some alternate optimization that can be made for streaming? The architecture will definitely be simpler with the main-frame paradigm. Maybe if there's only one client it could be feasible to send some batteries included chunk of frames that can be easily constructed based on the next set of inputs. Is there any hint that progress can be made in this direction?

If the latency problem can't be solved, I'm definitely bearish or game streaming. Latency insensitive games for the most part are not difficult to run on commodity hardware.
The cloud changed everything from Microsoft's perspective. They don't care what language or OS or tool you use anymore, as long as you host it in their cloud, they are making money.
Me too. I think that because of the meta programming capabilities we’re going to see a lot more development in that direction. Recently I started using Turing.jl, which uses a sort of declarative syntax that was easy to write and understand.
But processed foods taste so good...
