a bit of pedantism - giving that it was air heated by the radiation and shock wave the speed of sound was much higher, so while going up very fast, the dirt being moved up by convection and pressure differential may have still moved subsonically wrt. the local speed of sound.
Is this true in general?

The Silicon Valley company I worked at for a long time started out with ISOs, then as the company grew scrapped ISOs in favor of NSQ (nonqualifed options) and then later scrapped those and just gave RSUs.

The move from ISO->NSQ had some tax advantage to the company even though it is obviously worse for the employees.

They tried this in the 90s and 00s.

It was such a spectacular failure it's funny to see it recycled.

And for you to claim you wouldn't have to worry about maintenance is especially comical. It was extremely high maintenance and expensive, and it often broke.

Programmers don't just code a problem, they solve the problem. Teasing out the actual business logic is as much a part of the job as anything else, and one that most employees and managers are so clueless and utterly useless at that any no code solution will require a programmer to actually use it any way.

But without any of the flexibility code gives, you end up with tons of dumb, manual, expensive, hacks and a sub-standard product. Eventually the 'no-code' platform adds the ability to use some code and you end up with a really shitty software platform that delivers 80%, but the effort required to get that last 20% is far in excess of just starting again and writing it from scratch in code.

Ask any programmer who remembers workflow software their experience and you will learn from the mistakes of two decades ago.
Nice, another rabbit hole for the weekend. Thanks for sharing!
This seems unreasonable. Gpt3 is stateless and any given prompt could require a news article, a fiction, a farce, real world logic. Prompt construction absolutely should matter in this situation.
Consider that the article you read provided an immense amount of context to you about exactly what kind of tests were being run and how the answers were being evaluated (they want logic not creativity). If they had provided only the prompts and responses with no mention of gpt3 or the purpose of the article or anything else, would you have been able to judge the result? Why should gpt3 be able to do better when it had access to a single prompt at a time.
Not sure what to make of this article. Nuclear power is by far the cleanest and safest way of generating energy for both humankind and nature. Chernobyl was ancient and outdated, which caused issues. And Fukushima had to withstand an earthquake and tsunami. And even then the radiation only killed 1 person.

Even wind-turbines cause more damage by killing many, many birds. They aren't as reliable and they certainly cause a lot of noise pollution. And they aren't all that pretty, either.

The risk of nuclear is low to none, barring any unforeseen freak accidents.

Yes, if a tsunami hits the nuclear plant, it might break down. If a meteor hits it, it might break down.

By that logic we shouldn't build cities. After all, if a tsunami hits a city many people will die.

I wish politics around the world would just leave the decision-making up to smart people instead of vote-gatherers.
I really enjoyed google inbox. Gmail moved a few things over from it, but what I really appreciated was archiving everything older than a month, because usually it was promotional crap anyway.

It was really seeing that even Gary Marcus and Ernest Davis cannot get access that pushed me over the line on this one from "be gracious, moderating access to a finite resource is hard" to "wow this is sketchy".

You seem to have changed your stance 180° in the middle of your comment.
Universities have high fixed and structural costs, and to date, little has been done to address these. Several have openly stated that residence revenues (dorm fees and foodservice) are a major concern.

These conflicts will continue absent means to:

1. Discharge present obligations (debt, payroll, contracts).

2. Sustain functional capacity (building and systems maintenance, skills capacity, reputation).

3. Provide minimum sufficient income for idled staff., faculty, and contractors.

4. Provide for continuity of contractors, vendors, and suppliers.

Writ large this is the problem facing economies as a whole. Universities and colleges are merely one visible and vocal sector.

The problem is not one of economic stimulus or simple financial reform. It's of preventive and sustaining care for the entire economy until the global health emergency is resolved.
The US Navy has trained thousands of 18-25 year old men and women to operate hundreds of reactors around the world safety for over 60 years. I was one of them. I have not been an operator for many years, but the latest reactor designs are amazingly safe and reliable. The world needs more safe, clean, cheap and reliable power. Nuclear power is one of the answers.
Well, both can be true (and I am fairly confident that this was the case previously, even though the exact standards for macro unsafety have not been formally established--in the past, for example when adding #[may_dangle] and other unsafe attributes, a way was found to add `unsafe` to the syntax even though Rust lacked a way to do this directly for the attribute in question). But I agree these are different arguments that shouldn't be confused for one another.
The existing alternatives (e.g. DSL pushed to and beyond its limits) are "good enough" in the short term, especially for dense population centers, making it hard to justify the cost of an actually good fiber solution.
It's a tax if you bring the customer and do all the work. Which most app developers do.

It they charged 3% for customers you bring and 30% for customers they bring, your point would be more valid.
There was one large outage a couple of years ago. Other than that, I haven’t seen one in a decade. At least not at the level of the entire network; obviously local issues are more common, particularly in harsh weather.
They're only looking at total transfer costs and not level of service. You pay more for faster speed oftentimes in Korea and the baseline price may be a little higher than something like Cricket in the US but level of service even in the countryside is substantially better.

Absolutely. All those individual nodes linked to nothing else are good suspects.

How so? The only "help" that an app store can give you is that your app can show up in search result in the app store.

But that's only a problem because customers are used to searching in that app store (and that's because it's the only one on the platform).

If there was no app store, customers would search on the web, and it turns out that Google Web Search and Bing don't refuse to link to sites that don't give them 30% commission on sales.

Of course PPC ads cost money, but obviously app stores don't let you be a top result on arbitrary searches for free (since obviously that's a limited resource, so it's impossible to do that), so that seems a spurious comparison.
Totally agreed! I read his article last year and this analogy is still vivid in my head.
In the repo/docs, it suggests that DeepSpeech is an option for some languages (English & German). Haven't tried it, but with recent(ish) performance improvements in DS it can run on somewhat less powerful computers than used to be the case.

I wonder what they're doing, and then I look at the educational space and I realize just what's happening. And I'm kind of alarmed by it, to be honest. Call me paranoid, but we have a growing generation of kids in school that only know Google services. The only web browser is Google Chrome. The only email is Gmail. All word/spreadsheet/etc is Google Docs. School is Google Classroom. Chat is Google Messenger or whatever it it. Google Photos. Google Search. Google Cloud. Google Drive. Google Video or Youtube. ALL they see all day in and out at school are Google properties.

I can't be the only one that has noticed this over the years.
This comment reminds me so much of the 90s video that was posted some time ago about how the internet was useless and online commerce was not going to work. Including the stupid idea of selling books.

If you were in tech before ethernet and TCp/ip (ipx/spx, netware, ring networks, etc) you wouldnt believe hos far we will get.

That's my view of blockchain. Naysayers are just people not knowing better or people with interests.

Blockchain as a current tech may suck (shit... bitcoin is so inefficient...) but there's people doing R&D on this TCP to improve its efficiency and effectiveness.
If the app stores are such a great deal then why do the alternatives have to be prohibited or purposely made into a disastrous user experience in order to get developers to use the app stores?

Dot-Com Survivors Give Their Verdict on the Current Tech Boom
Ah yes, decidedly pro-nuclear stance here.

The first obvious omissions that come to mind are:

1. The evacuations took place while the meltdown was ongoing, evacuating was the sane choice given the available knowledge at the time.

2. There is no data on how not evacuating would have affected the people, since that was not done, making that comparison with such certainty seems a bit overconfident.

Nuclear in general:

How about showing me a sound final (100k yr) storage for nuclear waste, built and ready, before you operate any more nuclear reactors?

I'm not totally against the technology, but storing all the nuclear waste in metal cans on parking lots (yes, thats where a majority of nuclear waste resides) is not a valid solution.

The trend of externalizing cost to future generations is something that pisses me off to no end.

I haven't seen anything. They're both based primarily on RTT round trip time instead of packet loss %. So they should share roughly equally.

The big innovation around these new schedulers is focusing on fairness instead of maximum throughout. For the longest time TCP flow control was judged only by how close it reached to theoretical maximum throughout.

So we ended up with extremely aggressive schedulers. The challenge now is to make a scheduler that limits bufferbloat while not surrendering all it's throughout to old school bully schedulers. This is where BRR really innovates

> can send many missiles at the same time, and the anti-missile suite of the plane has to defeat every single one.

That's what makes unmanned planes special: It doesn't. It just has to force enough missiles to be fired that the missiles are more expensive/valuable than the plane when it ultimately gets shot down.

(Value can be different from financial cost, depending on e.g. supply shortages, influence on the rest of the war, etc.)

I just skimmed, but they seem to be comparing stress of evacuating vs health risk of staying. What about the stress of knowing you live on nuclear contaminated land. Surely that must be stresful enough to be comparable to the stress of evacuating?

To the GP's comment, this could be an artifact of a slow-leak inflation.

There are millions of app developers and you are saying that most of them are doing customer acquisition external to the App Store ?

Because I just did various searches for note taking and productivity apps on my phone and no one is buying ads. From my experience only the larger app developers invest in their own customer acquisition whilst the rest all rely on app discovery.
At least where I live (or honestly wherever I've been in South India) Jio has been mostly reliable enough for me to even work remotely with zoom calls and ssh/slack. So YMMV is the real conclusion.
Hey, if I could use anything else apart from the App Store, I'd do it in a jiffy. But as it currently stands, you cannot distribute your app at all unless you have a developer license and you either publish it on the app store or buy a separate business deployment certificate (which only works on in-house devices and let's you MITM the devices basically)
StatusEntry: Affordable Status Page Product as SaaS
After needing a public status page for one of our products in the company I worked at, we saw that it was pretty expensive just to serve a public status page. So, we decided to build an affordable solution. We have more ideas to integrate on top of this product and we would really appreciate any feedbacks before we invest more into it. We want to see how much the community considers it valuable to spend more efforts.

You can see our short product tour video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLpEl7Y2DeU

We love startups and there is a completely free plan with fundamental features! https://www.statusentry.com/pricing

We would really appreciate any feedback and trying out StatusEntry.
Yes, but the initial nuclear charge is comparatively small (1.5MT), and dispersed over a large area, since the bomb is detonated pretty high above the ground. To my knowledge there is only one such charge in this bomb. If its yield weren't limited to 50MT, there'd be two such stages. Andrei Sakharov suggested not using U238, replacing it with some passive material in the secondary module. The yield was limited because if it weren't, there _would_ be a lot of radioactive contamination, and the fireball would touch the ground, exacerbating the problem.

Classically, that's a mistake. You end up automating an inefficient process. That's from manufacturing technology. The most cost-effective way to do something automatically at high volume may look nothing like the manual process.

Here's a good example. This is a machine making N95 masks.[1] It works about the same way someone would do it by hand. It's the obvious approach. It's painfully slow to watch.

Here's a machine making paper cups.[2] The process looks very strange. It's over 5x faster than the mask machine, and it's doing a more complicated job.

But this guy is talking about phone apps and stuff for people who work at desks, not automating a manufacturing line.

One big problem in the US is that there are not enough smart people making machines like [2]. And too many people making things like what the OP is talking about.

How do you think search works ?

Because it doesn't work by you creating a web page and then it instantly appearing in the 1st SERP. It requires significant amounts of capital in content marketing and SEO. And for competitive categories e.g. most apps you would need tens to hundreds of thousands of investment to rank.

And Apple and Google publicise a lot of the well made apps either via their promotional articles or via app groups. And their search is just for apps so you aren't competing with all of the non-mobile apps like you do with Google.
> How about showing me a sound final (100k yr) storage for nuclear waste, built and ready, before you operate any more nuclear reactors?

"Nuclear waste" is an artificial problem. It is possible to build reactors that use the "nuclear waste" from existing reactors as fuel, which destroys it forever. We haven't done this primarily because people keep refusing to build new reactors that do this until we figure out what to do with the nuclear waste. Which obviously doesn't make any sense.

The probe would have needed to use the light sail to slow down as it approached the target star.

Taiwanese here, I think Taiwan's data is inaccurate. Our mobile carriers have a "unlimited" plan, which you can actually use unlimited data. The price of the plan varies a lot, but my unlimited plan only costs 499TWD/m(16.9USD/m), and I use nearly 50GB per mounth. But I'd like to mention there is no such as unlimited texts here, only unlimited data. I think this is why SNS is preferred over SMS and iMessage.
I don't understand why you and others think that bringing up existing and irritating soundness holes in Rust is an argument for introducing new ones. Whether or not you think CXX exposes a sound API, it's a bad argument. This one is literally a bug that we can hopefully fix at some point, just like the floating point casts one was finally fixed.
