One could argue that this effect is negligible compared to the other influences at hand. The most significant of which is the profit motive. If you worry about a few rick patrons directing science, imagine what the r&d budget of every corporation on earth is doing.
This is totally correct! Jesus actually said

which would have necessitated a backhanded slap with the right hand (left hand wasn't used for anything much besides wiping one's butt), which means the slap is from someone who considers themselves to be the better of the person they're slapping. Turning the other cheek would indicate that you're their equal and striking an equal resulted in a heavy fine.

Each of the amazing zomg radical ideas Jesus outlines in Matthew 5 are actually loopholes to get people into serious trouble.

People read the headline. The small words beneath it are there for the headline to rest upon. Sometimes a picture also rests on the small text. That small text is pretty useful.

France doesn't need to build new reactors largely because it's existing reactor fleet is still enough to fulfill demand. That's one of the biggest advantages of nuclear power, it lasts for the better part of a century not a decade or two. A serial run if reactor production makes more sense once the disparity between supply and demand is greater.

I'll be interested in renewables once Germany's carbon intensity per Watt is on the same order of magnitude as France. They need to drop from ~500 grams per Watt to under a hundred.

Many papers in general are just not well written, even if the subject is interesting. I wish it were seen as a social requirement that if you publish a paper, then you accompany it with a blog post—even if it's the only thing on your blog. With multiple authors, each author would write their own blog post. I'd rather read three different takes on the same subject, generally, than to slog through any given paper even once. Sprinkle in the not-minor accessibility problems around the tendency to publish exclusively in PDF, and there are good reasons to seek out a digest instead of looking through the real thing. Heck, most abstracts verge on being almost unreadable, for that matter.
You're very successful. There're too many copycats on shopify. Do copycats have significant impact on your business?
Your work is a gift to the rest of us: excellent scholarship on a crucial topic. Thank you.

The "economics" essay underplays two important issues and elides a third. First, learning curves. You are reluctant to let go of "economies of scale", for which you seem to place, ahem, a thumb on the scale against "economies of mass production". What you miss is the dynamic nature of learning. If you produce two reactors of size X/2 rather than 1 reactor of size X, you get twice as much learning, and that learning compounds. C.f. wind turbines.

Second, nuclear has many more serious competitors than it used to. Geothermal and various storage technologies produce market-friendly energy at gigawatt scale, and capital is being deployed to improve them as fast as it can be absorbed.

Third (and related): all economies are political economies, and nuclear has the worst politics of any technology. To their enormous credit, nuclear advocates are finally taking this issue seriously, but they have so much work to do.

Unfortunately, these three issues feed into each other. The happy case—the one I'm rooting for—is that a 5-10 megawatt technology gets so much capital behind it that costs are brought down to "vaguely competitive with offshore wind", and that it becomes an important option with gigawatts deployed annually starting around 2030. Unfortunately, by that point we're going to have GWh-storage paired with solar that is either 1/10th that cost or twice as efficient as currently, or both. The path for nuclear is narrow and treacherous.

Of course of course. I am not trying to boil the ocean here, or we would have a VM like wasm and a execution env like wasi and run all our 1000 year code inside of that.

The first step is just having your code, data and deps in an archive. Depending on the project and the age, more stuff makes it into the archive.

It really depends on where the take-home challenge sits in your screening/hiring pipeline.

I generally reject about 50% of resumes that our recruiters provide. I generally reject about 80-90% of resumes from public job postings because so many of them are low-effort spam.

I prefer to phone screen people before providing the take-home homework. I would estimate that about half of those receive the take-home homework. Of those, I expect about 1/3 to knock it out of the park, and the other 2/3 are essentially getting a second chance to redeem themselves after a borderline phone screen.

We have a near 90% completion rate for the take-home challenge. Surprisingly, about 1/4 of candidates don't even bother completing their work enough to pass all of the tests (we provide the tests), which always surprises me.
Maybe it's because of how you grew up, but I've found myself in several different groups/scenarios throughout the years that blew my mind how many people (young people who hadn't worked a day in their lives) had trust funds.

I always thought that was crazy Gossip Girl shit, yet I got into a good university and was in certain clubs and social circles where I met a ton of people with trust funds (1M-30M).

That's when I decided to change the approach to my career. I'm not even a social person, so the number of people I was meeting wasn't astronomical, and I wasn't at an elite university, just a very good one.

I still see it today living in a large city. The number of people who have trust funds or parents willing to give them 200k-1M to put down on a house absolutely astounds me! I know it's a small % of people, but a small % of people is still a ton of people!

After some time, they took the money from my bank account.

> introduce reproducible image builds

This is a great idea in concept, but in practice very challenging.

RUN curl https://www.random.org/integers/?num=1&min=1&max=99999

Docker will cache this after the first invocation. The build is not reproducible. Now what?

Replace "curl random.org" with "nondeterministic and really expensive code build/model training/etc operation".

I have several questions:

Why was this even possible?

Why was this apparently easy enough to do that you could do it by accident?

Why was it impossible to recover from what was clearly an inevitability?

I feel bad for whoever fatfingered the "delete literally fucking everything" switch but I'm not even sure an individual can actually be said to have been solely at fault for such a colossal and systemic screwup.
Controversial opinion, I would rather a 45 minute coding interview that gets me through to the “final” round than a virtually unbounded take home test on some random-context task where the chance of me passing is 33%.

If I was desperate for a job and needed practice then I would try the takehome but I much prefer reversing a linked list and traversing a binary tree for a job, which takes me all of 10 minutes.
Imho, this is not true.

If you take the bottom 1/3 of any ivy class and replace it with the next folks in line, then I would probably agree in a hand-wavy kind of way.

Some points:

1. The folks who barely missed getting into (somewhat randomly) Columbia will most likely get into a place like Cornell. Is there really a loss there?

2. The folks who barely miss getting into Cornell will most likely get into a place like NYU. For most of these folks, is there really a loss there? My guess is that, at most, they lose some cocktail party swagger.

3. The top (15-30%?)of the classes at the Ivies really makes those schools academically. That said, there are a lot of other folks at the school that have significant social and intellectual capital to the schools. Athletes are one group, folks who demonstrably know how to get stuff done on a regional/national/international level are another group. Using these criteria to assess merit will produce a class not dissimilar to what we see now.

That is standard practice for news media.

Even if a source is cited, you should remain suspicious. The source might not justify the reporting.

Even if you see video with your own eyes, you should remain suspicious. The video could be missing important context, as it was in the George Floyd case. There, the news media privately saw the bodycam video (which paints a very different picture) but continued to push a misleading account of the event.

If you trust anything from New York Times or from CNN, you should trust this too. It's at least as credible, if not more so.

The only usable tool for any organization of resistance is Telegram. Anything else is garbage. Here's why:

Bluetooth/Mesh based local broadcast apps such as FireChat and Bridgfy are literally extreme low signal to noise streams of thoughts coming from everyone around you. We don't even need to get to the privacy or security part to eliminate it due to it being completely unusable in areas with more than a couple people.

Signal:

Slow, requires phone number to register and access to contacts. Users still receive messages after leaving a group, and the history still remain on the desktop app. Disappearing messages disappeared on the phone you'll still get it after it purported it have disappeared.

Wire:

Extremely slow.

Why is Telegram good?

* Super fast

* Good balance of security and usability.

* Early flaws in mtproto has largely been fixed.

* You can choose a username, instead of a phone number

* Good privacy settings to select who can find you, how to find you, who can call you, who can pull you into group chats etc.

* Desktop app has feature parity with the mobile apps. No glaring flaws found in Signal.

* Operationally extremely battle tested by successful protests around the world such as Hong Kong, Iran and Belarus.

* Any problems found on the ground, when reported, will be fixed in a matter of days to weeks by Telegram. They are that responsive.

Words of advise to Silicon Valley companies and security professionals in general. Stop bashing Telegram and actually go and try using your proposed alternatives in protests. Most if not all of these so-called secure chats are completely unusable for any organizations trying to avoid being arrested or be used as evidence against you.
