“The earliest references to the use of nuclear explosions for power generation date to a meeting called by Edward Teller in 1957. Among the many topics covered, the group considered power generation by exploding 1 Mt bombs in a 1,000-foot (300 m) diameter steam-filled cavity dug in granite.

[…]

A series of 50-kiloton bombs would be dropped into the cavern and exploded to heat the water and create steam. The steam would then power a secondary cooling loop for power extraction using a steam turbine. Dropping about two bombs a day would cause the system to reach thermal equilibrium, allowing the continual extraction of about 2 GW of electrical power”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Gnome:

“Unlike most nuclear tests, which were focused on weapon development, Shot Gnome was designed to focus on scientific experiments:

- "Study the possibility of converting the heat produced by a nuclear explosion into steam for the production of electric power."“
Eh. It’s like I already punched you in the face 9 times. The 10th time I’m making a punching motion, you’re probably going to duck away. Even if I wasn’t going to punch you, but instead giving you an ice cream.

If you’re a shitty company (TikTok, LinkedIn) people are going to assume you’re acting shitty when it looks like you’re acting shitty.
I love how the imports in https://github.com/alfiopuglisi/guietta/blob/master/guietta/... are ordered from shortest to longest. Makes them look like stairs! Very aesthetically pleasing :). Might take that up in my next project.
In Input 2 "center" is a keyword, because the markup is using English for keywords. The example output just happens to be in English as well. I assume it will be mapped to a more appropriate word in another language.

This would run into the "here is a hand", or rather "here is a fist" objection.[1]

Pain is the ground reality that is to be explained. If you manage to explain away pain rather than explain it, you haven't actually answered the question at all. If your answer at the end is "pain is not real", this doesn't prove that pain is not real, it proves that your premises were wrong.

Thank you for the last decade or so of amazing music. Love Bandcamp.
There are many more English articles than any other language on Wikipedia, even though there's more non-English speakers in the world.

To me, it seems this project will allow for at least "stub" articles in essentially every-other-language which at the very least provides some basic information about each entity to a reader in their preferred language.
Yes, this. Well, in this case, the solution is obvious: you need to have two separate concepts for center. But…

When I first learned about the OmegaWiki project (called WiktionaryZ then, I think), I was thrilled. It tried to represent lexical (Wiktionary) definitions and other language concepts using data. For each sense of each word, a so called DefinedMeaning was created. In the same sense, Wikidata has its entities. But soon, I learned about a problematic aspect of OmegaWiki’s concept, and the same thing appears on Wikidata: You represent some set of concepts in a single language, then another language comes and needs to split some concepts in two, because your language uses one word for both, but the other differentiates between them. Then, a third language comes and it maps its concepts to your existing set still a bit differently, so you might get four entities for just three languages. Etc.

On Wikidata, more focus is, I guess, on “concrete” entities: people, places, etc., where this does not appear that often. But it contains the abstract entities as well, and the problem appears there all the time. You might try to “fix” the problematic entities by splitting them to more elementary, linked using “subclass of” etc.; in some cases it might work quite fine (but losing the interwiki links in the process, which is unfortunate, given those were the original use case of Wikidata), in others, it is basically impossible without a degree in philosophy and deep understanding of ten languages, to be able to correctly distinguish and represent their relations. And imagine somebody trying to _use_ those entities. Like “I would like to say this person was a writer”, but there are seventeen entities with the English label of “writer”, distinguished by some obscure difference used by a group of Sino-Tibetan languages.

And… Wikidata entities represent basically just nouns.

So… I am a bit sceptical.
> If so, then they may fly less, shrink standing armies, forbid the import/export of oil, drive less, set the thermostat a couple degrees hotter,

It would be sad if their reaction is this pathetic. We need much more drastic changes than that right now, let alone 18 years from now.

The thermostat matters fuck-all compared to modernizing the insulation and getting renewable power to the house.
How is that different from Wolfram Alpha?
> It's not the only factor, but it is certainly _a_ factor: "Clever code" is typically meant as derogatory

Yep, but here's the thing - if the problem is misuse of the tool, then the solution should be to not misuse the tool. Saying "we will remove features because some people misuse it" is like saying "we will remove headlights from cars because some people drive irresponsibly[1]".

Go remains my language of choice if I have to build efficient webservices, but I really feel sad when people make it sound like Go is awesome because it misses language constructs. No! It is awesome because it is FAST (quite near C) but it is very easy to do simple things like writing http servers, parsing JSON and so on (like Python et al).

EDIT: fixed typo
The way I'd do it, would be to store an intermediate representation, and have multiple front-ends with different syntaxes. Have the editable text be generated from the IR.

This would be a huge plus, as it would not require the editor to know English keywords. Most keywords could be translated into the contributor's native language, lowering the barrier for editing.

It would also allow the syntax to be changed over time, or provide multiple different syntax paradigms, a bit like wikipedia's code vs visual editors.

Of course, comments are an issue, but hopefully, this is as close to "self-commenting" code as it gets.
Too bad, Pascal is not really popular. If only there were similar thing (cross-platform GUI library) but for Go or Rust languages.
That is true, but is also blocked by many sites. No such thing can happen to a custom domain.
Can you be happy and truly ambitious?
One definition of happiness is being at peace with oneself no matter the situation. But a lot of people who make a large difference in the world/lives of others were deeply unsatisfied/egotistical hence why they even pursued the change they did.

How do you reconcile the two, or are there examples in business one can point to that have?
If they didn’t have a good answer, they weren’t taking it seriously.
I think the future of "AI" will work in unexpected ways. Computers will provide the high level instructions and humans will do the low level stuff. We'll be like police dogs.

Robots are way too expensive. It will be a long time before it is cost effective to have stair climbing robots.
With car driving and navigation this has already happened. Turn right here, keep on the left.

A lot of the "AI" is just simple code, algorithms and statistics - and humans helping over some spots.

>what was likely to be an enthusiastic article has been absolutely pathological

The NY Times was willing to use pseudonyms for the subjects of articles in the past. I didn't see Banksy exposed for instance.

So if the article was in fact sympathetic why use the real name, when it has no relevancy to the subject?

Unless, the article was actually not sympathetic, but meant as a zesty piece to "expose" Scott Alexander as a reactionary/eugenist/sexist in the current hot climate of "cancel-culture".

Which surely would generate lots of clicks for the NY Times, but would also destroy the subject of their story at the hands of SJW/twitter mob, then allowing for more stories about the drama and generate more clicks.

Exposing SA's real name is a win only for the NY Times.

I would start with presence detection. Removal might be in this specific cases better handled through a process that forces the company to remove it based on rules and regulations if possible. Most employees will not just want to start a tech war with the company admins.
The way you mention this, it makes it sound as if this is the worst that Apple does.

Another way of looking at it, is that if it's allowed for dropbox it could be allowed for other apps.

End of the day it's your decision whether you want to still use an Apple device, assuming you have the choice, after knowing the potential problems with it.
Qt has both Qt Designer and Qt Creator to build GUIs with drag and drop.
i like it ok. it's better than ie. i don't like bing as much as google but overall i found it redundant to have both edge and chrome installed, and i just use edge. if i used gsuite or was a youtube uploader it might be different. i really should use firefox again though. i think edge's novelty is wearing off. and chromium in general.
...and yet, how popular are Linux phones and laptops compared to Apple?

The list is of course right (perhaps up to fine details) but misses the point. Apple products, and same for Android, are utterly usable without a degree in Linuxology. You don't shake in trepidation whenever you do an upgrade. You also don't just install random stuff from enormous Git repos that cannot possibly be scrutinised for security details. You don't get core dumps just because you selected an exotic option in config.

I like Linux, but I don't have 10 hrs/week just to keep it running. It's just not an option, and Apple products will do.

Having been forced to use Microsoft products again recently, I think the analogy doesn't extend to Windows though. I'd take Linux products over MS any time. Windows is awful.
I'm a reddit user, and I find that it doesn't encourage ongoing discussion, even in the smaller subreddits - a thread is pretty much frozen in stone after a day or two, even if technically people can post there for six months, so people keep starting new threads on the same topic (often covering a large part of a subreddit's front page with discussion of the same subtopic, preventing other discussion) but without history or interlinking. The problem is that posting to a thread doesn't "bump" it, so if you want people to see what you said the only option is a new thread.
I would pay up to $120 per month for a search engine that had its own crawler, and was completely open source, as long as it worked with JS disabled.

The crawler is, arguably, the hardest part. We have open source search engines out there, like searx[1], but most of them are search aggregators, and depend on Google, Bing, and a few other established search engines.

Because of how the compositing works, it’s not uncommon to have 100 or more megabytes of RAM taken by the UI alone. Not a bad thing though, it allows for simpler and more performant animations.

Other than that, I’m not familiar with any particular features of the OS that unnecessary spend resources. Do you have examples?
>His pen name and his real name are already strongly linked in search engine space.

It's not.

I've been following the development of the drama for a while. And even though I know a thing or two about OSINT, I still don't know Scott Alexander's real full name.
Great idea!
Tkinter always looks a little dated and PyQT is more than my brain wants to deal with when I need a simple GUI.
I thought about that, but given how easily convertible driving license are between states it still seems like a bad solution to whatever problem they're trying to avoid.

Linux phones are about 3x more popular.

Sure - though plenty of chemicals hurt animals but don't hurt us. One small example: theobromine and caffeine (in chocolate) kill cats and other animals that lack the ability to metabolize these alkaloids rapidly enough.

Oddly enough, our own cat loves chocolate and (following a near miss & visit to the vet) now appears to resent having had that avenue of pleasure permanently blocked.
Honestly both examples seem like more pandemic related

Maybe something like domestic violence/abuse cases could be more job/school lockdown related
Come on folks have some humor this is clearly sarcastic.
I think the political side isn't even important. A lot of the behavioral patterns we see in the social justice left is what we saw with the religious right a few decades ago. I'd say it's more about adopting popular values from people around you without understanding why these values are important. It's very much like religion in this sense.
Bandcamp had been my favorite music store since it launched, it's simply "how things should be done" ! It's the first place since the mp3 boom where I actually spend money and feel really good about it. Big up!
"Apple plans to require that all application software for MacOS be approved by Apple first."

I'm ready to leave MacOS if this becomes reality (no way to install apps outside of Apple Store). So so far it's pretty easy to install custom apps and grand them root permissions.
It’s telling that you consider a quote of Pakistan's Aviation Minister to be sneering with no evidence but your own “impression”, but consider a parodic and contemptuous rendering of “oh my god” perfectly acceptable.

My proposal is that everyone pirate the crap out of whatever they wish to watch, as the civil disobedience threat behind the happy facade.

Hopefully this will once again force content producers to consider the risks of prioritizing profits exclusively, at the cost of convenience and fragmentation. Worked 10 years ago, should work equally fine today.

This is because markdown is for simple note taking and is not meant to be rendered.

It wasn’t so long ago that markdown was praised for its simplicity and it’s not for nothing that everyone uses it nowadays.
> You don't shake in trepidation whenever you do an upgrade.

I really don't know a lot of people who feel confident doing a macOS update. The thing borks everything so often it's not even a meme, just a fact of life so people I know tend to be super careful with it and only update when the apps they use start dropping compatibility for older OSXes (or when they buy a new mac :-)).
Not only that, with languages like Objective-C or C++, one can have high level code just like Python, Lisp or OCaml, yet the myth still stays.
One thing I always liked was the old discussion forums which had subforums for different subjects and then the posts in each subforum were ordered by most recent comment.

The result is similar to voting. Things people are interested in discussing on stay on the front page, things they're not fall off. But then you don't need "gravity" to downrank old posts with many votes, because when people lose interest they stop commenting. Which also means something stays visible as long as people stay interested in it. Whereas "gravity" encourages discussions to be cut short because it's almost impossible for any post to remain visible for more than a day or two, even it was still actively being discussed.

Airports also do this, by making the walk to baggage claim rather indirect. It turns out that people don't really mind the walking, but they do mind the waiting, so the solution is to make the walk match the time it takes for your luggage to actually get to the claim.
I think the main concern is that you created your account just to post this, and it can be interpreted as politically opinionated. In today’s social media climate, one needs to be fairly sceptical when it comes to this kind of stuff.

Having said this, I confirm that this excerpt comes directly from the report.
For anyone not sure of the difference between this and most countries where companies have to comply with police requests, the big difference is that HK police no longer requires a warrant. HK Police may now demand data from companies such as Facebook without a warrant, it should be interesting to see how these companies handle it.
Can Unix pipes be implemented using a clipboard? Are there any apps that explore this? Every app is so self contained on mobile that they all become useless for all but the most trivial or planned for task.
High quality but I disagree.

There are users who don't care about the voting system the same way the designer of the voting system intended. The only way to enforce this would be by appointing a team of moderators that read every comment and rate it themselves. Obviously this is problematic because users might perceive the moderators to be authoritarian and the potential for abuse is pretty high. However, this could definitively increase the maximum size of a high quality community to something like 10000 users but it's still far away from 1 million or more users.
I'm not suggesting otherwise, merely that it is, in fact, a gui

I might dislike the platform but it helps me keep contact with my past coworkers and keeps valuable offers come to me for basically no cost.

This is likely why LinkedIn thinks they can be shitty to their users, because their users are motivated to stay.
Someone once told that that is the way to do it and so I always do (this is not how I normally operate ;)). There is no practical use though I think. But, it looks nice :)

Seeing a lot of comments doing the pandemic <—-> lockdown switch

We are in lockdown because of the pandemic. Half the people don’t care, the other half don’t want to get it - the economy is affected until those percentages budge
You can see how that might be seen as a dog whistle.
It's the IPV4 address of my system (192.168.x.x). I am trying to connect to it from AWS over internet.
Don’t forget security. Linux laptops are a gaping hole compared to my MacBook Pro.

I really despise some of the open source crusaders that look the other way when things don’t fit their narrative.

Common tools such as Postgres, Swift, Python, OpenSSH, billion other pieces of open software that are funded by the same companies that this article shits on.

There is a place for proprietary software in the society. And there is a place for open source software in the society.

Matlab is amazing even though it’s closed source. When I have a fricking Jet Engine hoisted up on a test stand and I discover some bug in the instrumentation Matlab toolbox, I can call them and speak to an engineer directly in about 45 seconds. We are not a 10 people company. We have billions on the line. And, $13k a year in licensing proprietary software with instant support is fine. It gets the job done. Docs are unbelievably comprehensive.

I love open source software and truly see value in it. But if something is closed source but has proven track record, I’m fine with it.

Good luck trying to convince Bloomberg Terminal to release their source code.
Never spent six hours to figure out a one-line fix?
Android isn’t really Linux, in that the commodity open source kernel is wrapped by proprietary value added software maintained by an army of highly paid professionals. You could swap out the kernel and no user would notice, or care.
I agree. Qt is a massive overkill.

There is - IMO - a resurgence of stuff being made from first principles instead of wrapping the same old turd again and again. For example https://github.com/Immediate-Mode-UI/Nuklear.

It just makes sense to have variety and it can be eye opening to see a 1MB header based solution adequately solving this problem of simple UIs without invoking the 1000lbs gorilla that is Qt.
Specifically to the campaigns playing songs, copyright also has a concept of "moral rights", specifically one considered "right to integrity of the work". Where this lands on a technical legal standpoint I'm not qualified to speak to, but it's something interesting to read up on.

Not everything covered by copyright is a purely economic transaction. To varying degrees, some or most art is an expression of the artist and means something to them. There's more to seeing someone you disagree with use a piece you poured your heart and soul into than just an assumed endorsement.
You're thinking with the wrong threat model. The concern is not about people who really want to know what his real name is, it's people putting his real name into Google and getting references to Slatestarcodex on the first page of the results.
But having all the data does not imply, you know and understand all the data.

Didn't for example the various agencies "knew" in advance of any terror attack, meaning they had data, that clearly implied person x is going to blow?

I read that in variations, to allmost any terror attack/amok so far happened.

But data analysis in hindsight is easy, you have to put that important data in context to the huge pile of other data you also have and your very limited human processing power.

(for example the dark internet is full of people threatening to blow up or kill something)

Meaning, I do not endorse worker surveillance at all, but maybe this is not the way to stop it. Also, many claim, it is for the benefit of the worker, because having that data can help improve workflows and avoid accidents/errors. Which is a valid point, I think, but I still would never agree to be in total control of my supervisors.
