> So if we are making these things equivalent (which I don't believe they are), then I suppose I shouldn't care about the dolphins, whales and dogs. In order to be consistent.

I'm not making anything equivalent, I'm asking you about your beliefs and if they're well founded.

Why is it okay to slaughter and eat a cow and not a dog or a whale or a cat? Your beliefs can still be consistent if you've justified the difference to yourself. I don't think "because it's traditional" or "because we've been doing it for hundreds of years" are good ethical reasons (which other countries could make about dogs and whales) for example.

>Humans live comparatively long because it takes a long time for individuals to acquire the skills we use as a survival strategy

Species need to live until reproduce, maybe several times, and see the next generation into being able to live on their own. That is about 35-50 for humans (granted the 15-20/generation - relatively prolonged maturation period given our size - is primarily because of the brain/skills development you mentioned). Additionally, because of the complexity of societal organization, skills and other knowledge, we've got boost from having the grand generation around to help and transfer knowledge and experience. That brought us to 60-70.
Foxconn hits the gas on vision for 'fabless' EV future
IDK about this article but from other articles TL;DR:

Arbitrary removing containers from it can: capsize it, damage the hull potential releasing oil or even break it in two.

Through removing containers carefully (i.e. not just from the back + front) will be helpful.

But it's hard (like how to remove a container from the middle?).
I just dug through the whole Pyrustic/Hubspot ecosystem, and it's cool! I haven't looked at GUI dev in Python before. I wonder if there's an simple way to reduce the already easy HubSpot install to a layman-friendly "double-click this". I'll be on the lookout for a reason to use this.
absolutely there is a resistance to conscription in Canada, but was there a resistance to going to war or did everyone sign up due to duty and social pressure to "do the right thing"?
Note: Obviously this all assumes that any one of the steps is feasible, whether it be maximum towing capacity of helicopters versus that required to lift a trillion ton ship an inch off the sand, availability of them, etc. I also considered using British made VTOL Harrier Jump Jets, which, in theory (and I have so far found not a single article even addressing the possibility) could hover as Helis and slowly ramp up speed enough to be of any use without snapping cables or breaking ship. They can’t maintain hover for too long and can’t be too close together, but their potential combined lift capabilities seem worthy of consideration. Plus it will likely be easier to secure as many as needed relatively quick. Also, be VERY helpful if an aircraft carrier could make its way up the canal as close as possible.

PRC will face the 7th fleet and more regardless, that's the default expectation and pretty much the singular vision shaping Chinese military modernization. Everything is oriented towards sufficiently confronting USN far out in SCS / Malacca - far away from Taiwan, preferably in enough numbers to deter actual battle or blockade. Taiwan itself has little baring on SCS security. It will be mostly peer affair between China and US.

Taking TW itself is a much easier problem and IMO already forgone assuming USN can be managed away from theatre. There aren't any recent credible war games by PRC/US that suggests Taiwan forces can hold out for more than days/weeks. The expectation is unfettered PRC air superiority which opens up options for invasion or IMO more likely, blockades or quarantines to siege island into compliance with out boots on the ground. TW is grossly food and energy insecure and an un-reinforceable island within PRC A2AD that it's doubtful US can penetrate. PRC on domestic war economy + reserves can maintain military several times larger than what she currently fields, she is not Japan. The complete lack of amphib acquisitions on PRC modernization suggest to me a massive invasion is not default. The entire concept of DDAY style invasion is anachronistic, based on period where PRC military was limited to WW2 capabilities not 2020 or 2035, or 2050.
> They are just upfront about how much "requirements" can be met.

Right... but if you just refuse to meet people's requirements then you won't be able to hire them, or you're only be able to hire desperate people with no other options. Surely this is damaging to your business, and the careers and equity of everyone working there.
I'm also old enough, and we called both 8 and 5.25 disks, disks. Diskettes came around later, and that nomenclature was far from universal.
Human don't need to get pregnant to produce milk. Lactation can happen with medication or stimulation, which becomes easier as women age. If a woman is not inducing lactation with hormones, she must stimulate the breasts several times a day using hand compression or a breast pump. This is how adoptive and foster mothers breastfeed their babies. Lactation can also occur in men because they have milk glands, which is the reason they too can get breast cancer.

mining, processing and 'storing' of nuclear material isn't any better in Russia.

I think there is not much reason pretending that the russian nuclear industry is especially competent.
I think there's some potential for bias/skew there. The majority of books sold are published under large deals with established authors. There's a long tail end of books published by less well-known authors under less favourable deals. It's possible (and I haven't looked at these numbers myself) that statistics presented make the publishing industry look better. Anecdotally I've read many negative things about the publishing industry and compensation for less established authors. Additionally, if we're talking about averages and not medians, the outliers are going to significantly increase that (J.K. Rowling might earn $3 on a book sale for her books published in the last 15 years, and her books might constitute 1% of all books sold in that period, but that's very much an outlier)

And regardless of statistical truths, we don't know the specifics of the subject's book deal. Sara being an author who did not have as much clout before "Water for Elephants"[1], I wouldn't be shocked to learn she made more like $0.25 per book sold based on lock-in to a contract that included low royalties in exchange for ample marketing to drive book sales.

> If someone interested in a compiler doesn't download it, it's not a excuse, it's a filter. Or a warning sign.

You're so invested in gatekeeping that you're confusing the point of research with technofetishism.

Here's what Joe Armstrong had to say in "The Mess We're In":

"I downloaded this program, and I followed the instructions, and it said I didn't have grunt installed! [...Then] I installed grunt, and it said grunt was installed, and then I ran the script that was gonna make my slides... and it said 'Unable to find local grunt'."

Looks like someone needs to go dig up Joe and let him know that the real problem is that there was a mistake in letting him get past the point where he was supposed to be filtered out.
Yes, EXACTLY.

It isn't an official measure of productivity, but he managed to finesse it. There are management issues. There was some skepticism over this attempt to inflate productivity, but imho the response was overly forgiving and credulous. Something along the lines of, "well, he's a good developer, we aren't going to give him full credit for this, but he probably didn't create makework for himself". If he had reported to me, that probably would have led to downgrading his review and some minor disciplinary action for shenanigans.

It's an entirely reasonable question, but I just can't quite get on board with the consequence of collectively punishing the Chinese people for Xinjiang. I won't do business with the Chinese government, certainly. But if a team of Shanghai developers makes a game I really like, I'm not comfortable boycotting them for their government's sins; it seems both unfair to them and unlikely to help anyone.

>> Brock was arrested Sunday in Texas after being photographed on the Senate floor during the deadly riot wearing a helmet and heavy vest and carrying plastic zip-tie handcuffs

That he did not bring to the riot. Zip ties he picked up when they were left unattended by police. Unattended. Really.

See how that fact, that reputable news sources have corrected, but very quietly, completely changes things? Came with intent to imprison vs well, not that. Possibly making sure they could not be used against fellow rioters? Totally different motive whatever it is. Vastly less organised and malevolent. Vastly lower fear. Vastly lower threat.

Yep and all the other Cherry picked info quoted shows they disarmed before mounting an "armed" insurrection. Yes they're idiots. On a grand scale. And they're going to jail for it. And Saddam also did not have weapons of mass destruction despite all those news reports claiming, confirming and reconfirming he was an imminent threat.

If you're thinking about going straight to prison for entering a building with weapons you clearly are not mounting an armed coup. (And yes, you're probably a monumental fool).

Never let a good crisis go to waste. Who is coming out ahead in power and money here? For good sake don't put on Republican vs Democrat blinders. Bush jr and Obama were indistinguishable on this kind of thing.

Start with: a scarier story gets more clicks and bigger ratings. Then go from there to see the effect of Law changes and who is getting more power in the fbi, cia, nsa etc. Is there something else going on that this needs to be a distraction? Maybe the wealth gain of Bezos & co in a massive crisis where many people are getting poorer? That's a huge story whatever you make of it. Massively bigger than some idiots who are going to jail for rioting in the Capitol. Are there others you can think of that are also bigger and more important?

Part of it might just be that the CCP's translators don't have a good grasp of English and end up picking unfortunate translations.

This is better translated as "damaged how the Chinese people feel about..." but instead comes off as the Chinese people having the emotional tolerance of a grade schooler. Unfortunately, it seems it was actually first used by state media in 1959 instead of originating from a foreign translation of the Chinese statement.
Sadly, it also doesn't work with .net core yet. Otherwise this would be a pretty convincing point for F#.
You can get the GPU-targeted assembly (sometimes called SASS by NVIDIA) through specifically compiling to a given GPU then using nvdisasm, which also has a very terse definition of the underlying instruction set in the docs (https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-binary-utilities/index.htm...).

But it's one way only, NVIDIA ships a disassembler, but explicitly doesn't ship an assembler.
I guess it depends on what it means to somebody to build a compiler. Something like yacc says "compiler compiler" in the name but really it is a parser generator. The hard part of industrial compilers is the optimization.
Story: I knew a dude who made a lot of money early in life doing IT for an online gambling company, where keeping the servers up is worth a whole lot of money. And in my twenties I thought that was super cool, was jealous even 'cause he bought a house at a young age. Then years later, I wound up with a routine (details irrelevant) that had me taking the metro past the local casino very frequently, and saw first hand how the ads on the train for said casino, which you and I would find totally absurd, seemed quite reasonable to the some of the ridership who were less educated, or even borderline mentally handicapped (it went through a poor neighbourhood). And it really brought home how happy these companies are to lie to the most vulnerable populations and make addicts out of them. I saw folks frequently enough to realize they were really getting fucked over and our BC government was happy to collect the taxes from casinos whilst closing down mental care institutions. No amount of money would make me work for that sector now. I'm sure others have similar lines in the sand. So good on the prof, a $60k grant is nothing compared to knowing you took money for something you find morally reprehensible, IFF you're already living comfortable above the poverty line (as a prof would be).
Yeah, I look at the semantic problem with calling it "ML research" and just throw up my arms. These discussions aren't generally driven by people who care about semantics.

The thing is, these are not just straw men, but talking points frequently used by nuclear energy opponents. Along with others, like asserting that nuclear energy is a source of CO², etc.

If nuclear proponents had to focus only on reasonable, grounded talking points, they would probably be happier for it.

I would imagine that normal people don't have as much legal experience or representation as a large corporation (that has experience in exactly this).

I had a friend - who happened to be pretty well-versed AND interested in legal matters - who was sued by someone for some car accident. The thing was, the identification came from a license plate, and he lived hundreds of miles away and drove a completely different car.

He finally got in touch with the attorney - who didn't care - and made him care. Took time and effort. Would have cost a normal person a pretty penny.
Seems odd then. Most of the material coming out at the time was telling the industry to break the silo between dev and ops.

I suppose if you’re right then I fundamentally disagree. Dev and Ops chase different goals and it’s very hard for a single person to have a role that makes them responsible for everything.
Censoring Maduro, effectively a dictator, is absolutely the right thing to do here despite the effect being overblown (it’s a Facebook page after all). There is no reason to require a private platform to host any and all content, telling Facebook that once a page is created it must stay.

> a strong type system

It's a myth that dynamic languages can't have strong types. Python aborts almost immediately whenever it can. For instance, adding a number to a string? Exception. Accessing undefined properties?

Furthermore there's a language-standard static type checker, mypy.

We have that in Python 3.10.

> Sustainability: Nuclear fission fuel on earth can last about 4 billion years using breeder reactors [1].

Are there safe breeder reactor designs? How to prevent people taking some plutonium on the side?

> Safety: Fossil and biofuel waste kill 8 million per year, compared to "up to 4000" total, ever, from commercial nuclear power.

True. But irradiating large patches of land/streams of water just makes for bad publicity. Also I do not think that anyone seriously accounts for the excess deaths caused by isotopes/heavy metals polluting the downstream farms of the Hanford site or similar sites, like the one near my home town Hanau (see comment below).

> Cost: Fossil and biofuel cause those health effects and climate change. Nuclear does not. If those were considered in markets, nuclear would be excellent. Furthermore, modern nuclear builds in Korea, China, and Russia are cost competitive without that advantage.

South Korea suffers from massive corruption and the country is practically run by a few ultra-rich families, even Chinese are complaining about that fact. ;)

As for China and Russia: Is it fair to compare with these countries, considering their current standard in terms of environmental safety and concern for human life versus monetary interest of a few? It is no wonder that regulatory costs there are lower. A human life is apparently less valuable.

> Geoengineering: Turning the Earth's deserts black with solar PV causes serious impact on the environment [2]. It's arguably more environmentally friendly to not have that kind of geoengineering impact.

This is something to consider. Are there positive effects too? For example, will certain plants be able to grow under the shade photovoltaics provide in a desert? Would wind turbines reduce peak windspeed and stop or revert desertification?

> Perfectly safe fuel rods: again, we're comparing a hypothetical danger that we have good solutions for [3] against a present killer of 8M people per year...

If we could truly build perfectly safe "nuclear batteries" that would be awesome. Unfortunately shielding combined with the fact that it won't work as a closed system for long (need for "refreshing" spent fuel in a breeder periodically) makes that impractical due to hard physics. As far as I know.

How is all that fuel shipping to and from these mini-reactors going to be handled? Normal nuclear fuel transport cost lots of money and require high security. Are you going to put those perfectly safe rods in an Uber? Like that radioactive fracking brine on the back of a small truck without shielding? That model could work in Russia... or maybe the US.
