Did it make sense in the thread on reddit?

There are a couple of bots (I hope) on Stack Overflow that re-post answers to other questions that are vaguely related based on keywords or tags. They usually didn't make sense in the question context, but were upvoted by people for some reason.
Yeah we're working on reducing the time it takes to generate. Eg hooking up to databases to get schemas, source code for dependency graphs, using text to minimally express.

But, I'll say that I think however long it takes, diagrams used for documentation is looked at much more than the author will have spent on it, and the benefits of having a mental model be clearly shared makes it worth a lot of effort.
A bigger factor to note is that 95% of radiation is contained within 1% of the waste. I think the problem here is that people don't realize how small this number is. Because 11ktons sounds like a lot. But if you compare it to any other waste in the world it is tiny. Perspective is lost.

I also don't understand why not having a geological repository is an issue. Many researchers propose just storing it in place after decommissioning. You have a lot of shielding material (i.e. the other 99% of reactor waste that is mostly concrete) to protect a very small amount of radiation and keep the material distributed, which has some security benefits. Not having a centralized location doesn't seem like an issue. It isn't like humans are going anywhere anytime soon and we're going to lose information about where waste is stored. We have plenty of time to figure out a long term storage system that is still safe if the entirety of human information is lost. It's a great goal, but if that's our concern we should talk about deep geological repositories for a lot of other waste that we have that doesn't degrade overtime.
It's also unsuitable as a long-term solution and too slow to build for a a short-term solution. So all it is is a distraction.
I interned with the PI behind Ohm (Alex Warth) and one of his reasons for using the browser was simple:

“If I send someone an executable, they will never download it. If I send them a URL, they have no excuse.”
One of the (expensive) tools we used would always flag the word "key" regardless of context. Have an array of postal suffixes that includes "St", "Rd", "Key"? That gets flagged as a high level cryptographic vulnerability. Same for "Press any key to continue" or any variable name that contains the word key, regardless of context. These obvious false positives erode trust in the product by developers and are used by their PMs as proof that security scans serve little purpose other than causing missed deadlines. The vendor refused to correct any of them, claiming it's better to be safe than sorry but offered us the ability to turn off checking for hardcoded cryptographic keys as a work around, which of course wouldn't catch actual cases of hardcoded keys, which sadly does happen.
You can't make a general statement about the system in the US, because many (all?) states have their own systems for mass vaccination sites, the big pharmacy chains have their systems, and presumably hospitals have their own systems.

The Massachusetts system seems pretty good with easy pre-registration and choice of ways to be contacted when you're up for an appointment. Problem with some of the other systems is you pretty much have to keep checking. I've been tempted to write some code.
Haha I mean nothing that was obviously ridiculous, like “Applebee’s, but open source” or something. It was more just really hand-wavy logic around why their product needed something open source, with no really compelling answer.

If China takes Taiwan, that would shift the balance of power due to Taiwan's role as the leading global chip fabricator.

I'm a designer who used to be a React developer (2 years out of the game though). I don't have a strong opinion about the engineer's choice for how to implement my designs, but if this makes their lives easier and gives us a little extra time to make improvements, I'm all for it.

Call me skeptical, but I wonder how useful it would be for the FE devs on my team. In the past, I've never had a great experience with code generators, I've usually ended up ripping out the results and redoing it myself. Sometimes there's an unexpected limitation ("oh yeah, we use tailwind, this is useless to us!"), or a bug, or sometimes it just doesn't produce something I would stand by.

I'm also a little scared of showing this to other designers, or project managers, because I'd be worried about it setting unrealistic expectations. "Great, there's the front-end problem solved, guess you developers can do about twice as much work in a day now, right?"
Easier prototyping with real data for one thing.
The F35 is a strange aircraft. It has a very powerful single engine but the airframe is still too heavy. So the plane performs poorly and lacks the potential energy to exploit any particular edge case. So they are pushing it as a "networked" platform that supposedly allows commanders to control the battlefield, because everything is connected in real time. It sounds fanciful and kind of made up.

Trump isn't a scientist, he had a vague understanding and was asking others if this made any sense.
CUDA’s biggest advantage over OpenCL other than not being a camel was its C++ support which is still the main language in use for CUDA in production, I doubt FORTRAN was the reason why CUDA got to where it is, C++ on the other hand had quite a lot to do with it during its initial days when OpenCL was still stuck in OpenGL C-Land.

NVIDIA understood also early on the importance of first party libraries and commercial partnerships something Intel also understands which is why OneAPI has wider adoption already than ROCm.
You could grind it up and intentionally pump it into the air, and it still would likely kill a tiny portion of the number of people killed by coal plants.

I mean a whole lot of coal plants do pump uranium dust into the air. If you did it with the nuclear waste you'd pump worse isotopes into the air, but the volume would be tiny.

Agreed, and I covered this in a few replies, I should have put it in my main comment, CYA is the entire reason.

I'm not saying a business surrounding an open source project can't make money. I am saying trying to make money by locking away features is a bad way to do it. Focus on your product and do it in a single stream rather than separating it into FOSS and a paid tier. Make your money on support contracts.

Smaller companies that self-support probably won't pay you for those features anyways.
A bit of an aside, but [1] is the most tired pedantry I can think of. Still waiting for people like this to come after chemistry and explain to us all how hydrophobic substances don't literally have an anxiety disorder.
It is designed for authorization but as sibling comments have said, it is very often used for authentication. Even though good old RFC 6749 says nothing about the details of authentication and leaves the nitty gritty of that to the Authorization server. But almost every OAuth server I'm aware of has some kind of authentication functionality.

100% agree that you should not roll your own. There are lots and lots of options out there with different strengths and weaknesses. Determine what you need and then find the right solution (which may be hydra or something else).
If you're to follow local media in China, the rhetoric around taking back Taiwan has grown stronger. Winnie the pooh also got a time limit extension on CCP leadership on the platform of a fully unified China. The signs are all there, though I just don't see how anything resembling a conventional warfare can happen there. The potential lives at risk are quite high and if the toll is that high it will be difficult to stop other countries from getting involved on various grounds. Also it's not like Crimea annexation where the aggressor had local support.

Can you define who gets to decide whether a place is "most sensible"?

yeah I myself don't view RSS like email. It's an archive where you can pick what you want to read and leave the rest.

Agreed. I edited my sibling comment. I totally agree that electric grids and base loads are pretty complicated things. It's just that the base knowledge level is infuriatingly low.

What is the current structure of the founders? All Canadian?

Non Canadians can own a percentage of Canadian corps. In BC a non-Canadian can own 100% of the company!

The benefits of having a Canadian Controlled Private Corporation (CCPC) are huge. For example not having to file 409a, or not having to worry about filing a 83b election. The Canadian r&d tax Credits are huge and are only available to CCPC’s. As an example, The Canadian Gov will subsidize up to 63% of R&D salaries. You will get the credits back in cash when you file your taxes. You can also apply for NRC grants that will give you hundreds of thousands of dollars for unique projects.

I have used Atlas and started a CCPC. Being Canadian the process seemed much easier in Canada.

But the non-tax incentives available to us companies are amazing as well. Getting a SVB bank account with a US Corp was awesome. The no fee banking for 3 years and a 10,000 MasterCard without a personal guarantee was great.

It really depends on your financial situation.

FYI: You don’t have to move your cofounder to Canada to have him be a founder in Canada.

Hope that helps.

I would talk to Logan Hanson from Advisar everyday he helps CCPCs file for SRED Credits. https://www.linkedin.com/in/loganhanson

> demand adapts to more variable supply and dynamic pricing

You want demand to adapt? I'm supposed to turn the lights out when the wind's not blowing, or what?

Demand shouldn't adapt, supply should adapt. Connect more and bigger power grids, add energy storage to the grid in large enough quantities.

Your "solution" is like telling people to give up cars. They won't.
This is a huge step forward!

> Critics of reforming qualified immunity say the doctrine gives officers the discretion to make split-second decisions when their lives could be at risk.

I don't see how eliminating QI impairs this ability. If it truly is a life or death situation for the officer which calls for a split-second decision, a reasonable judge would probably rule it was a good faith decision. The issue is when police unlawfully arrest people, shoot at a non-suspect's car as they're driving away, unlawfully seize property, etc.. None of these are split-second, life or death type decisions, and QI should not apply to any of them.

Open source tends to be used as a user acquisition strategy for companies in the growth stage not worrying about monetization.

Once they get to the stage of trying to monetize their newfound userbase, they rethink the value of releasing their product as open source.

From the first paragraph:

> this potential could only be realized if a fundamental trade-off in wireless energy harvesting could be circumvented

That's untrue. You don't need to circumvent the tradeoff, just minimize it. Wireless beam-formed power delivery is already possible, but the losses are too great to make it practical. Maybe with smaller and more numerous antennas (quantum dot antennas?)
That's secondary to me imo.

Primarily it would be a bloody conflict with significant loss of life. If China is victorious they would gain control over dirt that the world's best electronics industry used to exist on top of. The whole world loses.
Or "US Admirals in the Pacific use threat of Chinese attack on Taiwan to justify receiving billions more dollars." What a crock of shit.

edit one of their given reasons for "fearing attack" is that Russia invaded Ukraine shortly after the Winter Olympics, and China has the Winter Olympics soon. The ulterior motive couldn't be more obvious.
This reactor?

>This month, the Olkiluoto 3 nuclear power plant in Finland was supposed to start producing power. Instead, the plant is at least three and a half years late and more than 50 percent over-budget. Olkiluoto was to be the “poster child” for the new generation of nuclear power plant designs that would drive the “Nuclear Renaissance” and if any nuclear project was going to go well. Instead, it has become an example of all that can go wrong in economic terms with new reactors. The vendor (Areva NP) and the utility are in bitter dispute over who will bear the cost overruns and there is a real risk now that the utility will default.

https://web.archive.org/web/20130728115821/http://www.psr.or...

There does seem to be another reactor being built in Finland, but it's being built by Russia.
It would be good for the rest of the world to start having an alternative source of chip development. It's really not a good idea to have such dependence on one producer you can trust.

Malcolm X's autobiography is "as told to Alex Haley". I believe it's a common phrase used when an article is written by a journalist, but from the first-person perspective of the interviewee.
"We never contacted the police, because we didn’t think he’d done anything illegal. It was really an issue of academic misconduct."

He should have contacted the Police immediately. What if a crime was committed nearby where the impostor was located under false identity, and he was later taken into custody instead?
I don't know if it qualifies as a crime, but assuming someone else's identity can lead to very dangerous consequences.
Oh finally. Hopefully these Greenpeace jackasses dont ruin it again.

Welcome to the 2020s.

The leaks from corporations, social media, webmail and cloud storage will keep piling up; bad actors will increasingly cross-reference them. Cheaper storage, faster network speeds, and more capable AI (eg: to identify faces) will exacerbate the problem.

It's a disaster looming over our near future.

This problem is being worked on. I recently listened to this podcast which outlines two approaches to low carbon concrete - https://www.npr.org/transcripts/923966126

Take away points:

* The first approach is to use a different mix that can nearly half the temperature required to produce the concrete. This can reduce the CO2 emissions to produce the concrete by up to 40%

* The second approach uses pure CO2 to cure the concrete which locks away more CO2 in the concrete

* The concrete produced by these approaches need to be fully tested before the methods can be rolled out and costs reduced
It's a bit early to say what Zig does and doesn't do. Memory safety aspects is still under development, and there seems to be a lot of focus on making it safer. But it might be a model where you focus on detecting errors in debug/safe-builds during development, but release fast builds using less safe code generation and allocators.

Zig will probably never be as safe as a GCed language or Rust in this regard. But that's because it would go against other core design goals.

I feel like the future of non-GC languages is Zig as better C (dead simple and explicit language), and Rust as better C++ (complex language with more memory management facilities, etc).

The choice of languages was a bit odd. But I think Go is still in C's territory when it comes to being simple and explicit. Memory management (GC/not-GC) isn't necessarily the most important distinction in programming languages.
ThinkPad just getting some well deserved praise.

The stupidity of laptop design in the last 10 years is astounding. All of them too big, too thin and as delicate as a piece of glass. MOST top 10 laptop lists don't include a single ThinkPad and it just goes to show show bat-shit insane most people are.

Who wants a lap top that's going to break if dropped? Thinkpad is the ONLY manufacture that is on the right track and its not even on the radar of 99% of users and reviewers.
With HVDC and UHVDC lines there are progress on the transmission front. The main question though is the economical race between geographically decoupling your renewable power supply versus storage, this is something we will see play out in the next 10-15 years.

China recently finished a 3300 km UHVDC line from Xinjiang to the east coast with an expected loss of 1.5% per 1000 km.
Here's an example of a much more complex case that is detected:

> I didn't say that nuclear plants are being built to create plutonium. I said that they were being kept around because of the skills and tech - it's a more or less cost-neutral way of keeping a ready supply of nuclear engineers and a supporting industry.

This. Nuclear power doesn't give you nuclear bombs, but it does give you the ability to start building them within months.
And, EVEN INCLUDING that, nuclear is about 3x more expensive than solar and wind.

I'm very suspicious of these claims. First, there's stuff like this: https://energycentral.com/c/ec/germany-solar-and-wind-triple.... Second, the position of most nuclear opponents is not "solar and wind can provide clean energy for everyone at a fraction of the cost", but rather "everyone needs to radically cut back on energy use and alter their lifestyles". I get the same sense as I do from religious conservatives who oppose STD vaccines because they allow people to continue their sinful ways.
This has been the talk for a long time, but nothing has become of it. Nothing in the article made me think this will change. It's like the doomsday people saying every year will be the last. Well, they will be right one year at least.
What I found most remarkable is that there is no wikipedia entry for the accused, Charles Franklin Murdoch, or his case.

SaaS is out sourced IT. Plenty of SaaS could open source their entire code base and it would have little effect on sales; people would gladly still pay for it to be hosted.

In some categories, having the code open source helps gain adoption early in the process.

So yes, open source is not a business model, but plenty of open source software is monetized these days.
Where is the money coming from for the mentioned reactor? According to the wikipedia page a lot of French money is involved of a company connected to the French state..
