echoing to my other response here. As a outsider to python, but user of the language, that something that would appeal more to me as a first thought that what the article describes.

I do see the value of the dialects proposed. But that sounds more like a nice to have than a core 'new big version number' feature. ( and maybe it was intended this way, I have no idea what's in python 4 roadmap and who makes it )

A perf gain of 6.3 % or something would be a nice looking bullet point on the release-note. And that would drive adoption.. who doesn't want a faster, shinier implementation ? ( me ! )
Just no. Reactor buildings take up a small fraction of the total site area. Constructing additional reactors on existing sites has been done for about as long as nuclear power has existed and multiple reactors coexist simultaneously at the same site.

>"Replacing panels is just a cost question"

Sure, I bet you won't need more than 2 guys and a pickup truck to install, maintain and replace the 120 million panels it would take to create the equivalent to a site with 4 modern reactors. After all, that's only 35 000 panels to install every day if you want to build the site in 10 years.

forgot to mention that if the "operation" you're doing has any sort of conditions or branching, now you're writing

... | xargs -I{} bash -c "if [ $(stat --printf %Y {}) -gt 1234567890 ]; then do_something; else do_something_else; fi"

whereas if you're building your command with just a shell loop, when things start to get complicated you can `fc` into your $EDITOR, with pretty-print (with newlines) and syntax highlighting or whatever else you want.

I bet one could coerce emacs into doing something reasonable for syntax highlighting inside a quoted `xargs sh -c "..."` but ugh

I’m bummed as an admin that the new M1s remove a function as an admin I always loved with remote management.

From what a sales/dev person for a Saas MDM app for macOs told me, the M1s do not have a lock device feature. You can only wipe the device.

If an employee was terminated, we could remote send a lock command with a numeric code. The only way to remove the lock is to get the code from us or have Apple reset it in person. The in person visit you have to prove you’re the owner or have authorization from the company to have Apple unlock it.

My only option now is to wipe it. So now I have to find a cloud backup provider to back these devices up in case I need an important file from an employee who decides to go rogue.

> Half of the people have tertiary education. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tertiary_...

Here is the latest data in one chart: https://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/figures/images/figure-cac-3.... In the U.S. 47% of people have a post-secondary degree. It's 43% in Sweden and 38% in Denmark. I'd imagine vanishingly small numbers of low-wage workers have college debt, or would qualify to get into college.

> Gee, I don't know, maybe becuase college students with no degrees has a higher probability of a minimum wage. But he can study and work, not to choose between both or a life-enslaving credit.

The vast majority of workers earning minimum wage aren't qualified to go to college. If they are, they can get government-guaranteed student loans, which are repaid based on income levels after college.

And it's not like college is actually free in Scandinavia. You still have the opportunity cost and cost of living. Student debt levels in Sweden are actually similar to those in the United States, $20,000-25,000: https://qz.com/85017/college-in-sweden-is-free-but-students-...

Student debt in the U.S. is also not "life enslaving." To go back to my example of someone making minimum wage in Maryland. If that person somehow has a college degree and the average $25,000 of debt, they'll pay only $24/month on their student loans: https://studentloanhero.com/calculators/pay-as-you-earn-calc.... This is for federal student loans, but more than 90% of all student debt is federal loans.

> Minimum-wage earners are people too, not mindless drones. You have there colleges students, second-income parents, people trying to create their own business, people working in the arts, volunteers.

I mean do minimum wage workers actually have trouble getting their employers to give them half-hours, such that they need a law that forces their employer to accept that? In the U.S., it's so easy to hire and fire workers that employers are very flexible about low-skill, hourly workers only wanting to work say 20 hours a week. They just hire more workers.

> In a gold plan you still have to co-pay 20% of your costs, so good luck with an unforseen 30k medical bill.
https://www.healthcare.gov/choose-a-plan/plans-categories/

Yes, but the co-insurance is subject to Cost Sharing Reduction: https://www.healthcare.gov/glossary/cost-sharing-reduction. If you actually get sick on the Gold plan that I was looking at, your maximum out-of-pocket costs is $6,500. Which is a significant amount, no doubt, but most people making minimum wage are young and will not get sick.

Not exactly true. SPP the grid operator for OK and the area immediately east of Texas did have to go to EEA3 twice and implement rolling blackouts

System-wide generating capacity had dropped below current load of approximately 42 gigawatts (GW) due to extremely low temperatures, inadequate supplies of natural gas and wind generation. SPP directed member utilities to implement controlled, temporary interruptions of service.

Well if people disagree then I feel it would be better for them to discuss. But it seems like there’s this perception that there is no room for reasonable disagreement and that’s what I was pushing back on.

We can agree that the grid needs more investment and still have differences of opinion on how to generate that investment.

As noted in other comments, NASA (like the rest of the United States [1]) does use the metric system.

But it doesn’t matter. Nothing about the metric system makes it uniquely suitable to landing on Mars. Or space travel in general. What matters is a consistent standard.

Internally NASA could use Armstrongs. Where 1 is the weight or height of Neil Armstrong at KSC on July 16, 1969 at 13:32:00 UTC. It doesn’t matter. As long as it is consistent.

> Simply creating money out of thin air, or out of non-collateralized debts results in systemic distortions in money's ability to accurately measure wealth and value. This leads to price signals that no longer communicate real needs, which in turn leads well-intentioned people to make malinvestments.

Can't upvote this enough. If only most people grasped this and saw through the smoke screens that politicians and financial institutions put up to disguise what is really going on.

The only thing I would add to this is that, in addition to the distortion effect you describe, creating money is a method of redistributing wealth from the poor to the rich, since the newly created money ends up going mostly to the rich.
Introduce carbon taxes and all of a sudden nuclear becomes a lot more viable. Existing plans for renewables are for them to exist in a primarily fossil fuel grid, supplementing them when the conditions are right. Make it so that using fossil fuels for even 20% or 10% of electricity generation is prohibitively expensive, and people will switch to nuclear power.

Last time I checked France was a democratic nation. So was Belgium. Both of those have achieve majority nuclear power generation, and France over 70%.

The cynical reality, though, is that you're right. People would rather make a token effort on intermittent sources, while continuing to burn fossil fuels for most of their energy. The damage to the environment caused by the continued use of fossil fuels in this approach, though, will eventually take a toll. But that toll will mostly be borne by poor people in the global south, not in the countries that had the capability to build nuclear but chose to primarily use fossil fuels supplement it with intermittent sources.

Because how memory is allocated for a data structure is a separate decision from what data structure you want to use. When a variable is declared as a certain type, choosing where the memory is allocated makes sense, but to build it into the type itself is restricting the uses of it. It also raises questions about what happens when you want to copy something on the stack to an offset in an array of the same thing on the heap. Allocation should be completely separate from data structure declarations in my opinion.
It is at least a little mutual though. I cannot stand the X as a service business model, because I cannot stand recurring bills, and to the degree I can prevent it I want things I use to be difficult to revoke.

As an Canadian and ex power trader across north america (including ERCOT), I find the political interpretations of events very weird. Poor regulation and deregulation are not the same thing. Do you really think that talking about grid preparation for winter will get any anybody elected? The nuances of esoteric economic principles and advanced egineering are not cool topic which can be understood or debated through tweets and memes. The same can be said about a lot of tangible or intangible infrastructure. I think ERCOT-type failures will become the norm.
That's good to know thanks.
I don’t disagree. But the basic point is that a lot of younger people in poorly paying jobs still consider, whether one agrees or not, health insurance as being more than they’re willing to pay for.
This is why we need a public option for health care. There is no reason the price of healthcare should change if you lose/switch your job (you could be buying in to the same insurance plan).

It’s an accident of US labor rights history that benefits are so tightly coupled to the employer; most other developed countries don’t do it like this and get more favorable prices for similar coverage quality.

An Introduction to the Tether/Bitfinex Controversy
There are a lot of guides online. I particularly like the information presented in the lucid dreaming subreddit wiki [0] which has a lot of guides as well as a FAQ and other threads. I'd go through all of that information in order to learn.

As a quick start however:

1. Keep a dream journal and write down dreams as soon as you wake up, as much as you remember. You will get better at this over time.

2. Perform reality checks. Count your fingers or blow air out your nose periodically.

However, there is a much more powerful concept called All Day Awareness. It is the notion that reality has a surprising amount of detail but we are just not aware of it during the day to day. So, just stay where you are and observe the environment. Look at things, hold them up close to your eyes. For example, take a leaf or piece of paper or your hand and see all the individual details. Fully be aware. This helps you understand when you're in a dream and so you'll be lucid.

3. Each night, say you'll lucid dream. It will work with enough practice such that you do lucid dream. It's not guaranteed however. This technique is called MILD, or mnemonic induced lucid dream. There are others.

Note: using substances like alcohol and marijuana especially will kill your lucid dreaming attempts as they inhibit REM sleep, especially weed.

It was an honest question. I don't know which specific regulations, I've never built one but I have heard those who did lament the cost and trouble in even obtaining a site.

From what I can see fission reactors are doing just fine in France and Belgium. I don't know the specific numbers but the French don't seem worse off economically, despite having the greenest grid on the planet.

Fission has a number of disadvantages over fusion that make it a reasonable possibility of it being economically more viable than fission.

Because there's no compounding risks it is way more attractive to mass produce smaller reactors.

Once the key hurdles are solved it will be a simple calculation to decide how much investment will yield how much return, that means it will be an interesting investment opportunity.

Contrast this with fission, where a project is usually just one or two reactors, with tens of billions invested, loads of risk, slow and steady reward with various threats.

It is not the complexity that makes power plants intractible, we build more complex things than fission reactors every day. Its the lack of supply chain because of the unsteady build rate.

The iteration time of fusion reactors is measured in years, not decades by the way. Tokamak Energy is building its third iteration in 12 years, and plans to start the 4th in 2025.

Obviously we aren't there yet, but if it's possible, and a relatively small company like Tokamak Energy can build a proof of concept, then I don't see why we wouldn't have thousands of reactors spread through cities all over the world within the next 20 years.

We already have unemployment insurance, it’s easy to imagine something like government assisted cobra for recent job loss.

We already have Medicaid for people who are chronically poor.

It’s possible to decouple healthcare from a specific employer without moving to single payer or similar. I often like to point to Germany to show there is are much more varied solutions that can be tried than people are likely to say.

Conflating all these different ideas makes it harder to find an optimal solution, IMO.

While their definition is in the ballpark, its not general enough to handle cases where survival isn't on the line, or communication between non-living systems. A similar effort is Haig's paper which is broadly compatible with the paper you link but is generic enough to capture semantics broadly: http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/13287/1/Strange Inversion and Making sense.pdf

>An interpreter is a mechanism that uses information in choice. The capabilities of the interpreter couple an entropy of inputs (uncertainty) to an entropy of outputs (indecision). The first entropy is dispelled by observation (input of information ). The second entropy is dispelled by choice of action (output of decision). I propose that an interpreter’s response to inputs (information) be considered the meaning of the information for the interpreter. In this conceptual framework, the designed or evolved mechanisms of interpreters provide the much debated link between Shannon information and semantics.

It would be naïve to expect a different outcome when the underlying drivers are the same.

Both Japan and Korea are notable for their talent development pipeline. Did the West fall behind somehow, or is the market for these types of performances simply not as lucrative in the West? Or maybe it's simply easier/more predictable to manage solo acts?
