> Maybe we also need to change academic culture to allow people to confess academic fraud, receive punishment and than be forgiven and continue academic careers.

Are you suggesting we forgive the professor who’s pressure and influence seems to have cause the phd students suicide?

If anything I think we need to stand firm on the harsh one direction only nature of academic misconduct, and simply provide better training and whistleblower options for students. There should never be any doubt in a students or professors mind that academic misconduct when discovered will be an end to their academic carrier.

Agreed. One of the most difficult things to get right is conceptual integrity from the product perspective. Bad conceptual integrity leads to poor product requirements, which leads to unclear technical requirements, which leads to poor engineering and technical debt.
Local guidelines have been highly politicized throughout this pandemic though and a lot of governors have been making terrible decisions for political reasons. I'm not seeing any rational reason to listen to local guidelines when the guidelines are politically-motivated (not evidence-based) and are set way too loose even while COVID-19 was in the midst of tearing through a community.

Many of these states couldn't even get on board with masks, let alone anything else more stringent (like reducing capacity).
Im curious, how many of these are solved as of 2021?
The story I've heard a few times is that students who are expected to perform poorly in their GCSE's or A-Levels get expelled for minor behavioural infractions prior to their final exams so their poor grades don't risk bringing down the average.
We already tried that, didn't we? Several national gov'ts, subsidized the building of hundreds of reactors, trained gillions of nuclear scientists and engineers, etc. And indeed, nuclear power still is a bigger fraction of US electrical generation then renewables.

Obviously, a new effort might yield a break-through the old one didn't. But it seems likely all the "low-hanging" fruit in lowering reactor costs have already been picked.

Interesting idea! Maybe instead of preventing you from commenting entirely, it just tagged all comments you leave as “have not read article”. I think the shame approach would actually work, but too many people would vehemently reject it for it to ever work.
I'm squarely of the opposite opinion.

There are 2 main concerns I think "only renewables" solutions miss:

1. Impact on land usage. The sheer amount of land required to provide 3-4x global use is impractical and has major environmental consequences. It's not free to pave over large areas with solar panels or make huge swaths of air unsafe for birds.

2. Cost of storage is usually projected using current prices with some decline due to production efficiencies. However, producing grid-sized storage would put such pressure on the supply of critical metals that the subsequent price rise would put bitcoin's performance to shame.

Whereas, we know we can scale nuclear to meet global demand, at least as a major base load supply as part of a mixed-generation strategy.
They'd be competing for the same production resources.

well, it's fundamental for my business, GPU overpriced can affect people's life.
Given that nuclear has existed for quite some time now and hundreds of very costly plants have already been built, how much more cost-effectiveness can we expect? It feels like the current state is exactly what "larger investments" in nuclear get you.
Isn't the point of nuclear to provide power when it's not sunny as a cheaper alternative to storage in batteries? If so then what's the purpose of comparing the cost of solar and nuclear as if they're directly competing for the same use case?
It's 121 TWh/y, world total is on the order of 160,000 TWh/y (primary energy supply), so crypto is less than 1 part per thousand.

For the wear and tear of thermal cycling to pile up, it's not required to have reboots or shutdowns. All it takes is to have temperature fluctuations that in turn developt stress fluctuations, which induce fatigue wear on materials. Low amplitude cycles are better and less damaging than high amplitude cycles, but the damage is still there building up.

To put things in perspective, not so long ago it was believed that below a certain stress delta some materials were immune to fatigue and practically eternal. However it was soon apparent that that belief was not factual, and a phenomenon labelled very high cycle fatigue started to become a research topic. This type of fatigue is characterized by cracks being induced even at very low stress levels due to defects such as impurities and even crystal size in metal matrices.

Alice 4 FPGA Rasterizer (Open Hardware Video Card Related)
It's a little weird because they released the 3060 TI before the regular 3060, so when they say they're launching the 3060... It's just confusing. I feel like they should have given it its own identifier to help with that confusion, or launched them in the normal order. Base model, then the upgraded one.
The odds ratios should be reported because they are striking. They should also be accompanied by probabilities, nevertheless. I do not think this is an issue of counterbalancing, what would that even imply?

>"The Alice 4 rasterizer is broken into two main parts:

A software library linked with the C application program. The library implements the IrisGL API. It performs transformations, lighting, clipping, and retained mode (display lists). Its output is a list of commands (clear screen, draw triangle, swap buffers, etc.) that it writes to memory outside Linux's range.

An FPGA configuration that reads these commands from SDRAM and executes them. For triangles it interpolates color (RGB) and depth (Z). The FPGA also scans out the image buffer to the LCD and performs other minor tasks."

Plenty of expats have gotten more US stimulus cheques than they’ve paid in US taxes.

But it doesn’t make up for the dozens of hours of paperwork and careful tip-toeing on investments and other garbage.

Just an FYI: one hiccup I heard of giving up your US citizenship is that banks didn’t recognize you could be born in USA but not a US citizen.
Is it actually maladaptive or society wide is it normal and adaptive? If everyone was so easily influenced or moved into different states - perhaps then the traits differentiating those who are more conservative or more liberal in their behaviours wouldn't be possible. There are lessons to be learned from suffering, your own and others - and people becoming so imbalanced that they are stuck in suffering is easily arguable as a canary for society and signal for how we treat others.

Not true. Just overbuild it, and make sure your grid is large enough to transfer power between areas or just store it. Still cheaper than nuclear.

At least in the US, Fox News says their programming is entertainment, not news, and isn’t meant to be factual.

They have to say that to bypass a bunch of legal standards, since they regularly run stories that are demonstrably false.

For instance, they blamed the Texas outages on wind turbines, when the energy shortfall was greater than the total wind production. During the Portland protests, they were caught photoshopping up photos of rioting that never happened. There are many, many more examples, to the point where when they lie, it’s not really newsworthy.
All photos of the same mobile phone certainly have a unique fingerprint. Not only the EXIF, also the dead pixels and the unique pattern of low intensity pixels.

If you want to protect user privacy, a unique identifier is not enough. If they posted a gay profile somewhere, a professional profile somewhere else, they will be forever linked.
> as long as you are producing waste, you are depending on bumbling bureaucrats to properly dispose of that waste and manage the waste often for extremely long periods of time.

The entirety of nuclear waste ever produced by humanity can fit in a football field.

This is without even considering fuel recycling. Acting like this is a problem has to be the most absurd (and I might add politicized) argument ever made against nuclear energy.

I was not the original person you were discussing with, so I don't think a tax specifically on bitcoin mining would be the best idea, but yes global problems require global scale coordination often.

> Not sure if it is fair to compare bitcoin production to murder.

My point is merely that the fact that a market exists for something is not sufficient to show that "society" has decided it is useful IMO.

> Like others have suggested, maybe taxing certain types of energy usage directly according to their climate change impact

Yeah, I was the one who commented that, so I definitely agree

Maintaining a package is not as hard as developing software. You don't need to know algorithms, you don't need to know programming, you just need to know how to start a compiler and packaging software from the command line and read errors from the log.

If you are an active developer in the language that is used it will be easier, but you can do it even if you are not.

Example. Todays news here, is the latest release of Kodi. Debian does not have the most recent version. Some months ago I had an issue with the Kodi from the debian multimedia repo, so I decided to build it from source. It took me the better part of a day to have all the build tools installed and set-up everything, starting from zero. But in the end I had the latest Kodi running and it was running like that for 5 months and I even forget that I built it.

I managed to do that without even looking into the source code. In fact if you ask me what programming language is used to develop Kodi - I really don't know and don't remember.

Package maintainance is more about testing than about building.

So a list like this can serve as a guide in the process of choosing where to help. Just sort by number of users that use the software and go down the list until you find something that you use daily and where you would like to have the most recent version available and would volunteer your effort for 2-3 years (it is not really helpful if maintainers change every couple of months).
To add to that, 100 tons of spacerocks hit eath every day. I dont think 100 tons of parts fall of airliners daily.

That being said, there was a russian spacecraft that disintegrated and hit someone house, in the middle of siberia bo less. So it does happen, but its freak ecen3ts territory.

Elixir is a bad example, it's "boring" not "exciting". It's a thin syntactic layer over the BEAM, which is for running telephony exchanges. Those things could not be more "boring" in the sense we're using here: they just sit there and work, day in and day out, tolerating faults and load variances, routing phone calls.
You just keep moving the goalposts by using the most extreme argument you can muster.

To be honest the sports industry uses tons of energy in lighting stadiums, streaming them, training players, it goes on and on. Entertainment could be done much more cheaply and effectively. I think society should outlaw sport - so many people are hurt in injuries, and the climate is just utterly demolished through all the energy waste. I can’t see a reason why society would allow sports. It’s ultimately beneficial to a very small amount of owners and their players (who are exploited!) that take all the cream off the top. Completely immoral honestly. The fact society wastes so much thought, effort, energy, focus, when we could instead be going to Mars or training STEM graduates is just criminal.
And will that make cards cheaper? I'm not asking about the technical details, just about what they want me to pay...
What spectrum are you referring to?
According to the IEA we are spending more on nuclear power research than any other category. (More than wind and solar combined.) More money won't magically give us better nuclear technology. If renewables keep getting better we're going to have to start some serious conversations about cutting nuclear funding in a few years, we're investing too much money with basically zero return on investment.

While that might be an overreaction -- to be clear, it's the "they never used the icons" part that is the main problem here.

For designers or artists of any kind, the general accepted pratice is that you're allowed to display/use pubicly released (even if sold e.g. in a book, TV show, etc.) work you've created for others for purposes of a portfolio, or that you've been given permission to. It's a kind of fair use.

On the other hand, if the material was never released, you don't EVER show it unless you have permission. Because that leaks potential future ideas, different directions that are inconsistent with their branding/image that they don't want public, "mistakes" they made, etc.

You absolutely should NEVER post stuff to a personal website you did for work that was never publicly released, unless you have explicit permission.

The "Lunar Gateway" is not planned to be in an orbit that would be optimal for any particular, expected lunar landing site, nor as rendesvous for a launch from the lunar surface. IOW, a different staging orbit would be better for any given descent and rendesvous. Stopping at a "gateway" first, too, costs more.

The only useful place for a "gateway" would be in low Earth orbit, with minimal cost to deliver fuel to, and useful for any destination except highly-inclined Earth orbit. Its value there is a result of the radically different character of Earth-launch vs. deep-space transport vehicles, being the natural point to transition between the two. Getting between Earth orbit and lunar orbit is, relatively, trivial, even for a crewed mission in an all-fired hurry.

Finally, the moon is a very specialized destination. There is no value in going or being there, beyond curiosity. Everything of practical interest or value is elsewhere, and a "Lunar Gateway" is useless for those.

How I find personal tech blogs? Simply by chance; when I browser around on HN, Twitter, chatting with people in Slack, following outbound links from blogs I already read...

I don’t even use an RSS reader. I just check in to some of these blogs from time to time.

That’s a very ad-hoc process though. Could it be organized somehow? Maybe! The question is how.

In earlier days of the web, before Google and RSS took of (roughly 1996-2002 or so) there used to be curated directories where people would submit their web sites. E.g. Yahoo[1] and DMOZ[2]. Perhaps it’s time for something like that again...?

There are still lots of people making their own websites. Some use old-skool systems like Blogger and WordPress. But these days I would warmly recommend Hugo (or another static site generator). Perhaps together with Netlify or Sanity.io. (I prefer to self-host but YMMV.)

Of course I, like everyone else, use Google a lot. But not for finding stuff like this. When I Google I’m mostly looking for a specific answer to a specific question. These days I rarely use Google to just browse around.

There are some efforts like Tilde.Club. I’m not sure if it’s my cup of tea but you might want to have a look: https://tilde.club/

> This is a statement rooted in fear - that if you don't entertain programmers with things that they enjoy, they will leave.

This is not a matter of "entertaining" engineers. This is a problem of providing good or even decent working conditions. High stress and high churn work environments have high attrition, because when given a choice adults prefer not to be miserable.

You're pretending that this issue is all about pampering when at it's core there are poor work environments that needlessly cause mental problems, some of them permanent.

Are we supposed to pretend that there was at least one FANG, supposedly a group of companies known for being generous to it's employees, which a few years ago was known for having employees crying at their desks?
