There is a similar idea about Conan and there is a bit of ambiguity in the collected stories of the oc. There are ancient kingdoms and fallen empires of creatures that are described like apes or furless apes, notably gorillas and similar creatures here and there. The inhabitants of these, if they are sane, sometimes call themselves, and are sometimes called either man, or superior to man or degenerate from man. Basically everything from lovecraftian space elves to goblins. Conan himself is quite often described in way that is ambiguous, but certainly includes both things like thick maned, long armed, barrel-chested, and even gorilla like. In particular by some of the people of the kingdoms he visits. Described as black maned, hairy, sometimes to the point of fur, and in his latter years, as with it falling like a coat of silver over his back. Overall its a silly idea. Leaving the racism aside, I think the author intended Armenian or persian. Black haired, golden tanned skin, sometimes with pale golden irises, certainly not white or nordic as often depicted much like some other middle eastern mythical characters of note. A simpler explanation is bad writing and gorillas commonly thought of as the epitome of strong men at the time of the early novels. The stories are mostly set in southern hyperborea i.e. middle africa also lends itself to this. I wonder if this may be why Grendel is like that as well. A popular english translation of Beowulf was made by Tolkien (who grew up in africa) written in the same era as the early Conan? A popular translation makes Grendel more akin to a nordic troll, which is more similar to a bear, weakly supported by aglæca ambiguity which sometimes seems to confuse grendel and beowulf which would make more if the name beowulf even if literally translated to bear, still meant bear hunter/killer or strong as a bear. I'd lean towards tolkien, but it shows how cultural context flavors translation. There is just not much description either, and even without the inevitable translation errors in visual descriptions of things that dont exist, ambiguity caused by bad writing is nothing new.

> What makes you think the setting is unrealistic?

No one in their right mind builds a structure containing a nuclear facility right next to a fully grown tree, for example. If the tree is a spruce, for example, it'd likely be a shallow root tree, meaning not only would the roots penetrate the foundation, it'd also be prone to windthrow - a serious security risk considering the building is housing a nuclear facility.

There's also no security measures to be seen in any of the renderings (apart maybe from the tiny fence right next to the fully-developed road). Doesn't spark much confidence in security against proliferation concerns.

> And why is it an issue that the housing looks pleasant?

The issue isn't what the housing looks like. The issue is that it's mentioned at all given the current stage of development.

Just to clarify: the company has been around for 8 years and isn't licensed to even produce prototype reactors yet. Compare this to some of the competition mentioned in the article:

• Elysium Industries (just as small, ~6 years old) [0] features a CAD rendering of their reactor design front and centre

• HolosGen [1] features a detailed CAD rendering of their reactor design on the landing page and includes tons of reference material

• NuGen, founded in 2006 [2] - which is basically a two-person operation with an office in what looks like an apartment building in a residential area [3] - features a CAD rendering of their reactor on their homepage, plus related patents

• XEnergy [4], founded in 2009 and a little bigger, features CAD renderings of both the reactor design and the fuel cells on their landing page

General Atomics - another competitor mentioned in the article - is too big and thus not a fair comparison, which is why I left them out.

I hope you start to notice a pattern here. No matter how small and unimpressive these companies might seem at first glance, all of them focus on the actual technology behind their product and that's what they put at the centre of their presentation.

Oklo, OTOH, doesn't do any of that. I understand that they're in "stealth mode" or whatever, but if you do a CNBC interview and the press material you bring consists of a neat house in a boreal forest with a tree right next to the roof of a nuclear facility and no security measures to be seen anywhere, I call BS on that.

Security concerns are handwaved away without even addressing the point (are the reactors that “operate without security forces and have impeccable security records over many decades.” also found in remote locations?), regulatory obstacles and poor economics aren't addressed either, but instead the reactors will be housed in “aesthetically pleasing” structures - as if anyone cares if they are intended to be located in remote locations, fenced away and obviously surrounded by forest or desert...

I just spent a month upgrading a bunch of cloud servers to AMD EPYC, and it was such a nostalgic feeling to be able to speed up systems with a simple, risk-free hardware upgrade.

Remember those days? When every server upgrade magically sped up everything by a factor of two or three? The stop button was pressed on that wonderful time for about a decade, but what seemed like an end of an era wasn't. It was just a pause, and now we're playing with ever faster tin once again.

It feels almost strange for that era of ever increasing hardware speed to make such a forceful comeback after having been stuck at Intel 14nm in the server space for years. The upgrades to 7nm AMD are already pretty impressive. I hear good things about Apple's 5nm laptop chips. Server chips on 3nm should blow everyone's frigging minds.

Exciting times!
as someone who actually lives in Rome: it's an important historical monument in one of the most important cities in western history. People go there to learn about the past and to view an incredible piece of architecture which is nearly 2,000 years old. It doesn't stand today as a glorification of bloodsport and I'm not sure how you can really come to that conclusion after visiting.

If the fact a lot of people died there is "sad AF", you're probably better off not visiting any sites which were active over 1,500 years ago.

To be a bit contrarianish:

Afghanistan probably had a better shot at a flawed democracy than Iraq. The country is decentralized by the very nature of the geographical obstacles it sports, and the Pashtun culture has a concept of collective decision making. Look up "Jirga", it isn't that different from other ancient decision bodies that predated democracy in European cultures [0]

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jirga

On the other hand, Iraq has a long tradition of absolute rule by ruthless powerful figures, going well back to antiquity. It is much easier to concentrate resources and build a standing military to steamroll your opponents in a flat agricultural country.

I know it's just an example, but it's really straightforward: you create a component which accepts a boolean prop and, based on that, either outputs the default slot directly or a wrapper containing the default slot via a simple v-if.

If you wanted to get fancy, you could also accept a tag prop and v-bind all other $attrs on the container to make that a general purpose component.
Inside an async block, the await keyword stands for then/flatMap/bind. Using multiple awaits is the same as a chain of then/flatMap/bind, or the do-notation in Haskell.

async { const a = await getA(); const b = await getB(a); return await getC(b); }

Is the same as:

getA().then((a) => getB(a)).then((b) => getC(b));

Observable is interesting, because it has multiple flatMap variations, like concatMap, switchMap etc.

There could be different await keywords that represent these operators. Example:

asyncObservable { const request = await myRequestStream(); const response = switchMap sendRequest(request); return response; }

This should be equivalent to:

myRequestStream().switchMap((request) => sendRequest(request))

In general, the advantage of this syntax is, that you can work on die values directly, instead of needing to work with the Observable.

This part of the article citing Anthony Fauci's 2012 comment [1] is impressive to me:

“Consider this hypothetical scenario,” Fauci wrote. “An important gain-of-function experiment involving a virus with serious pandemic potential is performed in a well-regulated, world-class laboratory by experienced investigators, but the information from the experiment is then used by another scientist who does not have the same training and facilities and is not subject to the same regulations. In an unlikely but conceivable turn of events, what if that scientist becomes infected with the virus, which leads to an outbreak and ultimately triggers a pandemic?”

It's from an introductory course on Algorithms; the dataset is the students' programming assignments, rated for similarity by an off-the-shelf similarity scorer.

This heatmap example is presented in the class on Kruskal's algorithm. We normally think of Kruskal's algorithm as a method for finding a minimum spanning tree, but it can also be thought of as building a classification tree -- which means we can use it for seriation. It's not the best method for seriation by any means, but it's nice just to see it used in this unconventional way.

It's always fun showing this in class, on the coursework that the students submitted just a few weeks ago!

The diagram claims to show "The percentage of each area that experiences ice, snow or frozen ground at some point during the year". But I think it is mislabeled.

As I've said elsewhere they were mostly war prisoners forced into the fighting career. Of course war prisoners don't have the same rights of citizens.

But they were trained nonetheless, and could compete with modern american athletes in activities that require strength and resistance.

At the time custom hardware was much more common and was attractive, it would have needed rare foresight to bet on 386 a long time before x86 became attractive. Unix workstations, Amiga, etc were doing well and Intel hw was generally seen as pedestrian and stuffy with bad graphics, and 386 seemed like another attempt from intel to dig x86 out from the DOS hole (it broke compatibility with 286, OS/2 had targeted special 286 features...). 386 Unix vendors weren't doing that well either. NeXT Cube with 68040 was launched in 1990 and nobody knew intel was going to overtake Motorola. etc.

I'm here to show how empty these arguments are as compared as what happened next in history or even on how we treat people in some war zone nowadays

So said, is not that hard to understand that the article was about showing something that was hidden before and now is available to everyone to visit. Nobody is hiding or denying what happened there, every Italian school teaches it without propaganda.

Yet, many comments here are about "how so many people died let's not go to visit it". Like this is not even the sense of the article?

These comments brought the political consideration into picture and I'm just showing how weak these are.
Well, again that depends on your political stance. Some argue for reform, others for revolution, and yet others argue for some type of technological progress that could "solve things."

I think history shows that being passive seldom gives you any rewards, when looking at people grouped by ethnicity, class, gender, etc. No matter what you think of the worker's movements, they did produce unions that did bring huge benefits like vacation, paid parental leave, etc. Especially in Europe. This is an example of being "active" as a group towards another group, and then reaping some benefits from that.

I think we have seen a huge decline in activity from workers as a group, and an equal push of activity from big companies. Couple that with hugely increased globalization etc, and you soon get large factories where people piss in jugs while hoping to not get caught emptying their bladder without registering for taking a break, and it is going to get worse until some group actively decides to do something about this.
