Between 2010 and 2016, natural gas prices collapsed and Westinghouse was in big trouble. Also the price of renewables (especially solar) and batteries fell dramatically. We went from a situation where nuclear would save on expensive natural gas, and would likely be needed eventually, to a situation where nuclear was not competitive with gas CC even with fairly high CO2 taxes, and where it would need to pull an inside straight to not become obsolete.

Ironic indeed. I can’t help but wonder if Google stores the geolocation data privately where only they can access it for their own data mining uses before removing it from the photos.
> (only a '>98% accuracy' note). So let's talk about this a little bit: is "accuracy" what we want? Probably not---I don't care if I get accidentally notified, but I care very much if I don't get notified when the baby is crying

Presumably this is 98% accuracy per sample or something, not per session of crying. I wouldn't want to leave my kid completely unanswered 1/50th of the time if he actually needed me, but I think with the model as trained, regular crying would eventually get noticed and that's fine with me.

Somewhere else on the thread though somebody else called out the real downside of this model: it overfits on regular crying. Kids make all kinds of noises. Mine made a completely different, eldritch noise one time when he noticed a spider, for instance.
I have been using Ableton Live for music production for over a decade, and I can say that if it were ported to work on my iPad, I’d use it every day.
Admittedly I haven’t had much direct experience of this, but most of the old guard Mac developers I follow seem more put off and burnt out by the vagaries of the App Store than by technical limitations at the OS level. I think there is plenty to complain about on that front.
Even my 2015 MBP supports dual 4K. Multi Monitor has always been buggy for me in macOS. So I understand that they don’t want to support it initially.
If you're worried about metadata, then you're probably best off publishing encrypted gists. Yes you have to poll to get the update, but it's better than getting hit by timing analysis.

You think that losing 80 jobs is really the biggest problem here?
Only roughly additive. Some obsolete features have been dropped, though that doesn't mean compilers have dropped them.
I don't believe that this is true. FL Studio had a bit of a dated 00's design for a while. Cubase, Reason, and Pro Tools were also not flat either. I'm not sure that "always" is accurate.

Though, Ableton has been flat since 1.0 it seems.
I have an iPhone, and iPad, multiple Macs, and a watch. They all work together in a myriad of interesting ways as a seamless unit, and all I have to do is set up one device with my iCloud address.

This is made possible due to Apple being in control of the hardware and software. If there's a way to do this as easily with a mix of Linux, Windows, and Android devices, I haven't seen it.

Linux laptops can't even do something as seemingly simple as sleep and wake reliably because it's actually not simple, and the hardware and software people don't talk to each other to make it work.

This is the kind of stuff I don't want to lose.

Oh yes, I used to play a lot of Go/Baduk :)
> let's not pretend like everyone was equally important here.

Except that's completely wrong. An architect did not build the SR-71. Physical engineering involves a feedback cycle and iterative design refinements, just like software engineering.

I don't think it's common from some architect to just draw a blueprint, hand it off to some people to build it, and that's it, we're done here, my design came to life thanks to my Godly design skills (and the simple work of 40 lowly engineers). The SR-71 is a project that took years and years of work, lots of failed attempts, experiments and lessons learned. There's no way that the majority of the credit for the SR-71 goes to some bossman architect dude who just told people what to do. It was very much teamwork. Everyone, including the test pilots, participated in its design and refinement.
> It doesn't suggest anything without evidence.

We have substantial evidence from this very article:

* There exist agencies that are trying to compromise your communications.

* They have no scruples.

* They are actively causing people to lie about what products do.

* They are willing to act through corporations.

Waiting until there is overwhelming evidence of a specific act of wrongdoing is a strategy so ineffective it may as well just be saying "I don't care about securing my communications". Not to say that no strategy is unreasonable, maybe people don't care.

Assuming everyone is telling the truth about being honest and ruling them out one by one when there is a large report or a Snowden-style leak is all but guaranteed to have the same result as ignoring the problem. Evidence is coming to light years after the event, and the spies in this article used Switzerland as part of a strategy of targeting the most trusted places for corruption.
I don’t know. I used to avoid updating my OS for a month or two until they ironed all the kinks out, which I don’t worry about so much anymore.

I remember updating to Jaguar ended up killing my mouse drivers somehow and I had to manually restore my computer using only the keyboard. I hadn’t actually learned any UNIX or the command line yet back then, so that was a fun exercise.

So raise tax revenue across the board. Will that make the commuting lifestyle unaffordable? Well that might just be because it's not economically viable and heavily subsidized.
This sounds like a neat setup - i used to run a set of 3 old compuets, a Nuc, and old laptops. But they were quite low spec, so i sold them and bought a small htpc instead, quadcore, with 16 gigs of ram and 512Gb nvme.

Also using RKE, it looks like the best cluster 'distro' around.

I used longhorn but found it a little slow, putting it on SSD was a bit of a waste. I tried ceph, it was much faster but i just do not understand how it works, etc. Well enoguh to fix anything if the cluster goes wrong.

Khan Academy

Two main reasons why it's better than other resources for your use case:

- it covers everything from pre-school arithmetic all the way up to multivariable calculus. This means that you can pick up from the level that you're comfortable at and build up from there

- Sal (who delivers most of the tutorials) teaches in a very approachable way and doesn't mind overexplaining basic things that university lectures tend to skim over

Once you're past Khan Academy, you can get some undergraduate/postgraduate lectures from MIT or just textbooks if you're interested in more rigorous treatment of mathematics or more advanced subfields.
No one seems concerned that this is the first "Genetic Vaccine". It doesn't just contain proteins to train your immune system... it rewrites your own cells to produce those proteins. There is no off switch.

Notion is a great tool and I recommend it as a solid "all-around" personal-wiki / notetaking tool.

That being said, the fact that it's electron-based means it's not always as snappy as I'd like it to be when I want to quickly capture a thought -- sometimes the "page" has to reload, even when I'm using the desktop app. I also notice that like slack, it suffers from the same in-line text formatting woes, which can be infuriating if you're trying to escape out of a code block or something.

Still, it's a good tool, and this is a neat feature I'm excited to try.

As far as I know, MKL has its own implementation. As some evidence of this, here's an article comparing their sparse QR factorization to SPQR, which is part of SuiteSparse [1]. As far as MATLAB, I believe it uses both. I've a MATLAB license and it definitely contains a copy of MKL along with the other libraries. At the same time, their sparse QR factorization definitely uses SPQR, which is part of SuiteSparse. In fact, there are some undocumented options to tune that algorithm directly from MATLAB such as spparms('spqrtol', tol). As a minor aside, this is actually one of the benefits of a MATLAB license since they have purchased the requisite commercial licenses for SuiteSparse codes, it makes it easier to deal with some commercial clients who need this capability at a lower price than a direct license itself. This, of course, means using MATLAB and not calling the library directly. It's one of the challenges to using, for example, Julia, which I believe does not bundle with the commercial license, but instead relies on GPL.

I'm not your lawyer, but you should look into how this would affect your will/estate, etc. It's common for state law to allow a wife to take 33-50% of your estate, even if you purposely exclude her. And if you have no will, she'll probably get everything.
Which still amounts to subsidizing pollution in order to sustain economically unviable work. If more taxes are needed, raise taxes across the board.
What it doesn’t offer is an integration with the browser to make it seamless to work with those bookmarks. There are various extensions for Firefox which will save to Pinboard (one of them is mine!) but to work with them - you have the option of going to the website or using the mobile site in a sidebar (I do this, with some custom css to make it more readable for me).

There’s a nice MacOS application (sorry can’t remember the name right now) which gives you a better interface, but... they’re bookmarks. I would like them to be integrated with rather browser bookmarks. And to be usable when the site is down or I’m offline. And to appear when I search... lots of possibilities there.
2010 is a very long time ago when it comes to the online dating sphere. I wonder how relevant this article is today.
I don't doubt that you've considered your experience and knowledge in coming to the decision to not own a gun. My response wasn't flippant, and I'm sorry it came across that way.

I grew up around (unlocked) guns and knew better than to even think about touching one of them while I was a child. I am aware that many children aren't taught proper respect for firearms, which is part of why I recommended keeping them locked up. (The guns, not the children...)

My comment about soldiers is based on my personal interactions with them. I know they go through gun safety handling, but in practice they frequently have very poor muzzle discipline ("But it's unloaded!": I don't care). I've also talked to a few soldiers who had never heard of the four rules of gun safety, either by name or after hearing them listed out, so I don't think all soldiers have had gun safety drilled into them as strongly as you may have.

I don't live in barracks, but my understanding of military life as a whole is that the military has to support the lowest common denominator in their troops. If you have children, you probably aren't a hotheaded 20 year old anymore, and it seems like that should factor into your decision making process, no?

The other two points (being shot by a spouse or burglar using your own gun), frankly sound silly to me. You listed four categories, but only two of them are responsible for a large number of firearm deaths. It's extremely rare for a burglar to take and use a victim's gun against the victim, and also pretty rare for a spouse to murder the other.

And just to reiterate what I said in my first post, if you're even a little worried you might lose control and kill your spouse, or your spouse might kill you, you need to see a counselor right now regardless of whether you have guns or not. (Alternatively, if you do get along with your spouse, then I'm not sure why you factored that into your decision to not own a gun?)

I am making this post in good faith, and I hope you'll respond.
That is not true, there is an inherent off-switch in this method. Messenger RNA is not stable in cells and is actively degraded. A typical mRNA has a half-life of a few hours in a cell. After the mRNA is degraded, no more viral protein will be produced.

This has nothing to do with gene therapy or anything that would permanently modify your genome.
Further, a lot of "configuration" can just be the environment (context). Isn't that precisely what DNS is for?

An instance of an app (process, service, whatever) doesn't need to know that it's "dev", "test", "prod". Just have it look for "the database" and change the /etc/hosts (or equiv) as needed.

My impression is that istio (?) is supposed to formalize this approach. That'd be nice.

I'm so done having this conversation with teammates. Yet another reenactment of the "why use version control" war. There's always some stubborn refusal to join the third millennium. Because reasons. It's too complicated. No one knows how to do that. It's hard to debug. Whatever.

> automated proofs

You've got a point, but in this case you are barking at the wrong tree. Aren't they talking about automated proof-checking?
Agreed. The article touches on this. When you have hundreds of projects that all target the same tightly-managed evergreen runtime, there's not much justification for having each project select and maintain a different toolchain. It just leads to the same problems being solved over again, and makes it harder for developers to switch between projects.

The fact that we can consider high-quality sourcemaps a solved problem (during both debugging and consolidated crash telemetry) really helps developers focus on building functionality rather than debugging a build system.

I think most large companies have dedicated tooling teams for these kinds of reasons. A related viewpoint in a related thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/typescript/comments/jrgi8z/10_insig...
They’re much narrower in scope than a full curriculum (or even a course, for that matter), but Better Explained [0] has some very good overviews of math topics. They are a useful supplement I’ve come across repeatedly while searching topics I found challenging over the years.

On the topic of open source learning, I take every chance I can to heartily recommend fast.ai’s course [1]. It’s a good intro to Deep Learning that leaves you informed enough to build things, and equips you to ask follow-on questions and dive deeper when/where you need to.

"Cheap shot". Yes.

Also no mitigation suggested other than CSP for which "A lot of CSP policies don't..." Which is a suggestion to use CSP correctly, in a backhanded way.

It is a sales pitch plus an info-sec report.
> it's just too complex and expensive

This seems like a verbose rehash of an older comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25058145) that has already been refuted.

You’re not accounting for the real life costs like paying consumers to take excess energy when demand is lower than fluctuating supply, or replacing renewable infrastructure as often as every other decade (nuclear reactors may be able to last centuries, and their “waste” is recyclable).
Hi, I don't regret my PhD in retrospect (I did have plenty of regrets and misgivings along the way). The PhD gave me a lot of free education (and not having to worry much about getting W's on classes, so less fear of failure), free travel to conferences, and learning things the hard way. Learning to program helped me get a job after graduation. I wasn't planning to get back into academia but two years ago I got a teaching job somewhat out of the blue, which wouldn't have been possible without the degree (it's not a research university like my alma mater--I don't think I would have wanted to get back into that world). The jobs in industry after the PhD helped me pay off my undergrad student loans. I don't know if you can think of it as being a rewarding experience in it's own right but it is something of intangible value and opportunity. My Grandma always said that no one can take your education away from you.

IMO, no one should be treating any online photo site as their primary photo storage. At the risk of seeming paranoid, I have everything local and both backed up locally and to Backblaze; the online photo site I use is strictly for sharing and, I suppose, yet another backup of last resort.
Exactly. There's zero bait and switch here, especially when Takeout makes it so easy to export all your photos anyways.
Your best bet for that at the moment is to use one of the unofficial Notion APIs and write an article-to-static-HTML converter and host it on your own site.

This is such a phenomenal update! I’ve been waiting for this feature for ages. Our company uses Notion for managing objectives in a hierachical structure that all need to be looked at in different timeframes. Our Campaigns are measured in years, missions in months, projects in weeks, milestone in days and tasks hours. Being able to easily change the granualirity of the timeline views make it so we can actually use it for all levels of our system.

Now if only Notion could add the option on adding requirements/logic to parameters I will have very little I feel I can’t do in Notion.
