I'd love to see new reactors come on line, but I remain skeptical that nuclear power will be widely used in the US as long as it remains so scary to so many people.

It's scary because disasters stay on the front page for months if not years, it's associated with civilization-ending weapons, radiation and the illnesses it causes are mysterious, we don't really have a great plan for dealing with waste, and nuclear advocates are (by-and-large) a bunch of energy nerds who actually believe some new reactor design or statistical analysis will finally convince the American public to go pro-nuke.

The scarier climate change becomes, the more people seem willing to accept nuclear power. But that could be too little too late.
This is definitely false. You can relatively easily live with privacy. It just takes a little bit of effort. It's over if you don't care and take no action.
The graphs you've mentioned in your sibling comment does not separate deaths based on vaccination. Here is another source that takes this into account. Vaccination does reduce chances of severe infections even in delta, though it's not as good as before:

https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2021/08/20/1029628...

> The good news is that among Israel's serious infections on Thursday of this week, according to Health Ministry data, there were nine times more serious cases among unvaccinated people over age 60 (178.7 per 100,000) than among fully vaccinated people of the same age category, and a little more than double the number of serious infections among unvaccinated people in the under-60 crowd (3.2 per 100,000) than among the vaccinated in that age bracket.

Also do note that official numbers from Palestine could be undercounted because of the situation there
> the terrible activism and bullying associated with it.

Could you please elaborate on that, or give some examples? I never heard of Guile besides it's used in Guix, so I'm an ignorant of the subject.
If you want to use your mobile data, you get sent to the back of the queue. Higher priority users might get 50mbps. You will be lucky to get 1mbps and in some cases less than that.

I don't know if there is an impact on call availability as well.
This is a home built hobby project, if you want one you're going to have to source the parts yourself, create the PCBs, and build it. And it will mostly be one of a kind. It's a fun project if that's what you're into. I'm building a 6502 computer much less involved than this one.

The Commander X16 will be more of completed commercial project where the appeal is more using the computer to write software than building the computer itself.

> If you need to chase a bug into a more fundamental library, say libc, libpng, or your stack's favourite JSON library, iterating on that code with plain nix ("package-based non-incremental builds") will now take 20 hours per recompilation. With an incremental build system, it takes seconds, which is obviously a game changer.

I see the point but the '20 hour' build seems to me over-exaggerated.

- Builds in Nix can be parallelized both on single node (multi-core, multi-socket) and multi-node without problems

- Parallel builds 'just works' in Nix with the Nix's sandbox system and the hash-based package identification mechanism. Nothing related to the bug mess that can be a distcc deployment or parallel builds in Bazels.

- Binary cache give a pretty efficient way to reuse any successful past build without problem

- Modifications in "base" packages generally do not happen everyday scenarios.

- Iterations and debugging without majors recompilations can be done with the nix shell directly. Full rebuild are required only for binary shipping.

> I've had to do this multiple times in the past, and had to employ big hacks to get around this limitation.

I had to recompile entire software stack ( > 1500 software ) for exotic archs (U.S supercomputers) in the past. My way was just to burst it on many nodes: compute time is cheap nowadays (and nodes are not missing on supercomputers :) ) .

My time however is not cheap and most incremental builds system are sensible to side-effect (including Bazel) and not as reproducible as they claim to be: Debugging that is in my experience time consuming, much more than a bit a build time.

I do see the interest of incremental builds inter-components, but in the current state of the tooling, it is for me not worth the pain. Specially not the pain of Bazel that has a (very) long list of quirks.
Free, no. Less expensive and more widely available than iOS devices, yes. Telegram also works on Linux, Windows and MacOS. There is a web version as well which works anywhere there is a reasonably recent browser available. The web version does not yet support calls as far as I know, this will most likely be added in the near future given that it is a rather trivial addition with plenty of free-software implementations available.
Even just restricting yourself to the Node ecosystem, there are a surprising number of options. ReasonML, Rust, Clojurescript, Purescript, and even oddballs like Idris can compile to something runnable in JS land and `require()` node modules. With so many options, the decision can be a little more complicated now.

Can't find original blog post, by Roy Baumeister, but this were his thought while writing the book with sumirali title. Short writeup is even nicer and to-the-point condensed format. Connects, to me, very well biology, evolution, society (as a system). After reading this, I connected the dots for many behavior patterns and "social" programming.
Usually they rely on government documents (driver licenses, passports, such kind of thing). Online banking has been a bit more lax but started having more KYC requirements recently. For an American though it's usually boils down to asking for SSN and driver license.
The article claims to talk about database indexing but as soon as it goes into any sort of details the information only applies to mysql.

> So here, indexing comes into picture. What indexing does is, sets up the column your search conditions are on, in a sorted order to assist in optimising query performance.

That's mysql specific, and not just that but it's innodb specific: innodb uses the primary key as a clustering index, or the first UNIQUE index if there's no PK.

Other engines don't usually do that, some (e.g. postgres) don't even have clustered indexes (aka indexes which affect the table's own layout), in postgres clustering is an explicit discrete table-rewriting operation.

And of course a table can have multiple indices, so it's not possible for an index to always determine the table order. In databases which support clustered indices, only one index per table can be clustered.

> The major advantage of B-tree is that the data in it is sortable

That's… not really true. A b-tree is sorted, period. You can't have an unordered btree.

> What are other types of indexes?

There are tons of index types not mentioned by the article e.g. BRIN, GIN, GiST

> For example, suppose you want to find out all of the companies which has company_id less than 40. How could you do that with a hash table index? Well, it’s not possible because a hash table is only good for looking up key value pairs – which means queries that check for equality (like “WHERE company_id = 18”).

And because btrees naturally handle "range" queries, they also handle prefix queries well. After all, "foo*" is just looking for every value between "foo" included and "fop" excluded.

"The fact that this is not a legitimate argument can be evinced by the simple fact that this horrible act has never been repeated in history."

This is not an argument, it's not even rational.

The first reason that 'that decision has not been made again' is because international actors since then have to take into consideration that outcome.

If that situation were duplicated, the bomb would be dropped again.

Eisenhower ordered a demonstration of tactical nuclear weapons which decisively 'ended' direct hostilities on the Korean Peninsula.

I wish we would stop allowing companies to collect this information in the first place. It should be obvious by now that they are incapable of protecting it, and it's none of their business anyway.
"Right to Repair" would hopefully mean that instead of that diagnostic tool being a BMW proprietary exclusive there would be some open source tool with the same functionality that you could load on your phone and connect to the $10 ODBII reader you bought off of eBay to solve the problem.

Already there are tools that do most of the basic ODBII functions, but some brands are bad about hiding away specific codes in $50k+ tools as a way to extract money from shops and funnel customers to the dealers.
Is it to the price level (e.g. under $1K) where an individual patient could pay a lab to sequence their own virus sample?

I don't disagree with what you're saying in a general sense. Creative people output will be better and higher quality than an algorithm...But I don't think that's the case for this business model.

Although I believe there is creative merit in composing an clothing outfit I don't believe that merit is even remotely close to things such as designing the actual clothes or creating the drawings and art that goes into the clothes or designing the stores in which these clothes are sold...

So I stand by my original statement. I do believe an algorithmic stylist for the avergage person can be vastly superior than a human stylist, because the inputs that the former takes are not that different than the inputs of the latter. Furthermore, the reasoning is essentially the same:

People want good fitted clothes, that are in fashion and that go in accordance to what they like. I don't think there's a lot of room for creativity here. I'm sorry that it sounds like a machine-learning nihilist take, but in practice I don't believe there's a good match between what people want from something like Stitch Fix and what a human stylist can do for them.

I dooubt that someone who relates to clothing in an artistic way would ever use something like Stitch Fix, so my assumption is that for the average Stitch Fix user, an algorithmic stylist could give them the same desired output at a better cost.

Sometimes it's the battery (system) even when the battery is fine. My son spent something like $1200 chasing the ghosts of electrical issues in a Ford Expedition with multiple mechanics. And they did in fact replace the battery at some point in there, to no avail.

It turned out that one of the battery _cables_ was bad; enough corrosion had built up under the insulation that the voltage would do all kinds of strange things depending on the exact load on the system. $20 for a new cable fixed it all.

Kinda off-topic, but what haunts me is that this is equally true for people. People who don't understand what they read are always introducing new prejudices, where none existed prior.
Can anyone give a brief explanation of what it means to use SVG in this context?

I think of it as a file format, but I'm assuming no files are involved here. Aside from that I've noticed the contents of SVG files look similar to the 2d canvas operations—which to my mind seems like the natural thing to use for something like this—so why use SVG instead? And is there any relationship between canvas drawing and SVG?

The modern trend in political discussion is to ignore the finer points of the issue and just look at who is backing what side of the argument. The finer points are only for properly accredited specialists debating in private so as to not confuse the public. One's job as a member of the public is blind faith in their authorities and denigration of dissenters.

However, the idea of a logical fallacy is one can take an argument apart and out it back together and identify bad arguments without relying on an authority figure's arbitrary pronouncements. If one reads a restaurant review and the reviewer said they didn't like the restaurant because some hated person said they liked the food there, we can easily conclude that this is the association fallacy at work and disregard that review. If we see 1000 1 star reviews because A Bad Person said he liked the food there, and we believe it, we are falling for the bandwagon effect fallacy, by a bunch of people who believed the association fallacy.
I am doubtful. I tried for a long time to use it to get data or for my taxonomic graph project (https://relatedhow.kodare.com/) and SPARCQL was just not usable at all. The biggest problem was the 60s time limit. Totally not workable for what I wanted. I also had issues with seemingly inconsistent results, but it was hard to tell.

I ended up loading the full nightly db dump and filtering it streaming from the zip instead. Faster and it actually worked.

The code to do that is at https://github.com/boxed/relatedhow

This also makes sense. I did enjoy all the arguments I got into on the SSC discord. It was formative for me even though I found myself often frustrated when the arguments reached an impasse, often in relation to the desires of the interlocutors.

I'm also a programmer and am very habituated in terms of thinking in algorithms, but when I had my "break", I realized that my beliefs were not working on a very deep level, and I needed something a lot stronger/deeper than rationality to push me out of whatever local extremum I was trapped in.

These sats are in a self clearing orbit. This is nothing more than a hit piece.
It's also a lot less likely with ultra-LEO constellations like Starlink. Not only do the satellites naturally quickly deorbit after loss of control, they're low and cheap enough that if necessary SpaceX can easily suicide-burn them to avoid catastrophe should it come to that.
SpaceX chose a low orbit so that atmosphere would eventually clean up any problems.

Not every nation does this, mostly only the ones with socialized medicine are.

For nations like the US, we are measuring the variant by looking at sewage. It doesn't tell us anything about who ends up hospitalized, but it does give us a good indication of what the is the common variant in a community (and inferences are drawn from there).

The UK has been doing probably the most covid genome sequencing of any nation.
Indexing isn't magic. You can define an ordered index on the createdAt field and your query could use that index if it feels by its notion of the best thing to do that it'd be worthwhile. You can do things to persuade it what to do. It's up to you.

Unless you are in the middle of a desert, not bringing gallons of bottled water is OK. Water from some natural sources is safe for drinking (knowing which kind is important here); being able to boil water makes things even better. On the other hand, I myself have made day-long trips without consuming any water at all; looks like it is not far from truth that one can easily survive without water for a few days. (I would also note that to me it seems that for some people who I observed constant drinking water is more of a bad habit than a necessity.)

I don't know about the implementation, but I would imagine it's like the "Now Playing" feature, where the phone has local hashes or ML models for current popular music, or common phrases you might hear on the phone. It could also just be that my phone knows when it's calling voicemail, and maybe there is out of band info telling the phone app that it wants a PIN.
Recommend the brilliant Johnny Harris video about this issue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NY8Rv6PaXVI

In short not only is a collision bad but it could create a chain reaction leading to billions of small objects flying around in the orbit forming a impenetrable barrier that bars further space travel and more importantly putting other (actually useful) satellites at risk
More fun/interesting and more potential to be actual computer.

Probably the main advantage of a 6502 is more RAM/EEPROM (as 8bit microcontrollers are pretty limited that way) and more of a hardware/software ecosystem to work with.
Would be fun to know which companies aren't for reporting purposes.
> We can reasonably say the Black Death killed 30% of Europe's population. We can't reasonably say covid won't do the same

I was going along, nodding my head in agreement until this. Do you realize how bad medical care was during that era? Hygiene? Knowledge of how to slow transmission in a community (we Americans have not yet even BEGUN to really take COVID seriously)? Do you realize how vastly more deadly than Black Death that COVID will have to become to cause a 30% death rate among the general population? It's absurd.

Yep, two points to add to the monthly costs approach:

1) you still have to correct the nominal monthly fees for nominal income levels of households, roughly 50k in 2008 to 70k today.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEHOINUSA646N

2) the monthly fees is not a full expense figure. A 30 year mortgage that gets paid off 100%, has 3.3% of principal paydown per year on average, versus 2.8% mortgage rates.

That means a good chunk of the mortgage payments are in essence savings, rather than money you'll never see again like interest.

That's always going to be true, but the share of your monthly fees that goes towards principal paydown (i.e., equity that is building up, money that you actually own) is now much larger, as the interest payments per dollar borrowed came down.
it's not pointless, but it isn't non-violent either.
The basic idea is as follows.

Lets say you are building an ML model to decide whether to give someone insurance or not.
Lets also assume your past behavior had some bias (say against some group).
Now ML model trained on this past data will likely learn that bias.

Part of modern ML focus is then to understand what bias exists in data, and how can we train models to use the data but somehow counteract that bias.
A couple things though - the median age of Israel is higher than that of Palestine by a pretty large margin. Secondly, how can we be sure both places are testing at the same rate? For instance, the percentage of cases reported in Palestine VS Israel is smaller when adjusted for population size.

Reminder that US housing prices are cheap and affordable compared to Canadian prices considering most people will never own a home again in Toronto and possible all of Ontario. Average house price in Toronto is 1 million + and it is not out of the norm to see 20%+ price increases every year. I was watching a co-op 2 bedroom condo that was selling for 300k in March/2019. They relisted it for 739k this week. There is also the fact that mortgages in Canada are only for 5 years and the interest can't be written off against your income. Amazing that at the current trend a house in Toronto will be several million dollars in just the next decade while the average salary is typically 60k CAD a year.

I like to imagine a future where space is unregulated, and some alternative LEO satellite Internet company begins to shoot down SpaceX's satellites in order to make room for their own.
