AIUI, PyPI doesn't _actually_ cost that much to host: it's all donated/sponsored hosting (with data largely served from Fastly), and the "cost" I'd expect is "what it would cost if we actually had to pay the normal published prices".
For the purpose of the climate crisis, we should talk about "carbon neutral" instead of "sustainable". It's both more clearly defined and more relevant to the current challenge.
There are two problems.

(1) If you could build a nuclear reactor for the sticker price, there's the problem that other energy sources got cheaper, specifically natural gas fired Brayton cycle turbines. To justify nuclear power at the sticker price you need to price carbon emissions.

(2) Nuclear power plants cost many more times to build than the sticker price. Some people blame delays on opposition to nuclear power, but the delays seem intrinsic to the process in industry. AP1000 construction was hung up in the U.S. because it was hung up in China (where environmentalists get shot) and it was hung up there because the factory had trouble make a pump that was supposed to be easier to make.

On one hand you could make the case for a real accounting of the type (2) problem (which I suspect is a game of "Poker" where suppliers quote a lowball price because they know buyers will keep putting chips in the pot.) But I think a more radical approach to the type (1) problem is necessary.

If a Cessna crashes into a car, is it safe to blame the Cessna and not the car, rather than treat it as a special case? I'm sure a car could swerve onto a runway mid-landing, but it would be the exception to the rule, right?

When operating a car you should be expected to be in a heightened state of awareness and responsibility because of your capacity to cause damage, compared to a pedestrian.

The bias in the current narrative (against pedestrians who have little autonomy vs a car) is so strongly on the wrong side that I don't think asking for a middle-ground approach is worth arguing.

I can't tell you how many times I've read stuff like this: https://www.bikelaw.com/2021/10/waller-bike-crash/

We can't assume overgeneration will be sustainable since there is profit to be made by idling or scrapping generators to reduce costs.
This seems very thin. The planned Sunrise Australian Singapore cable, ~5000km, ~5GW, this is 1/1000th of the power, so a cable 1/30th as thick? Under 2 inches???

Anyway - can you maybe lend a quick hand for a more practical calculation?

How do we move 10MW DC, from a battery pack, to a motor 200m away? Can i just hook the batteries in parallel and get to 10Kv ?!

Obviously a liquid cooled cable.

Oh, in the console? Probably won't work? I'm saying that you can run chrome's debugger on source mapped TS files, which is really really nice for bug-hunting and developing locally

But I mean if the biggest complaint you have is that it doesn't run in a browsers REPL console, that feels pretty minor to me. You can easily find TS REPLs all over the web

People in the US have become very good at totally ignoring the argument and just tribalizing the approach to everything. X must be right and how dare you question them as they are part of us. Nothing can be nuanced anymore. Read a twitter thread this morning discussing a father whose daughter was raped in a high school bathroom and then the perpetrator who they did not really make clear if it was someone that was trans or just a guy in a skirt was transferred to another school while pending trial and then assualted another girl. Father was obviously against trans women in the girls bathroom after that and was arrested for disturbing the peace. Crazy thing was people in the thread were more upset if someone misgendered the perpetrator than the fact that they raped 2 kids. I say this as someone that truly believes that people should be left alone to live however they want with out judgment. We live in strange times.
I have no idea why these two users are taking such an uncharitable view of what you wrote. It's sad and offensive.

I appreciated your comments and would hate to see you go.
>It’s just simple arithmetic, however you want to subsidize or socialize the cost, the fact is that renewables have higher cost per MW.

All the more reason for a carbon price. If the cost from renewables is genuinely more expensive than climate destabilization, then make the price explicit and the market will sort the practical from the pointless.

If there's one thing markets are good at, it's choosing the cheaper option. But they need a price signal to work on in the first place.
Yes! This is what I was looking for! Thanks!

I disagree very strongly. Ruminants are a huge fraction of my ancestors’ diet (possibly a caloric majority) over evolutionary timescales, so it should come as no surprise that ruminants are not only better for me than extruded pea protein, but one of the best possible foods for me.

Certainly, you can see the difference between a butcher and someone who buys out the butcher to sell the bacon for 5x their investment, just because they want that money in their pockets?

> They got locked up

Good. They were taking advantage of the poor and needy who are living without their homes and public utilities. They were taking advantage of a crisis to line their fucking pockets. If they really wanted those generators from Kansas to be useful, they could have moved them and charged their costs. There's no need to extravagantly line their pockets - to be greedy fuckers - to provide a useful service to a disaster area.

TL;DR: I think that the scalper's "my pocketbook first, no matter the cost to you" brand of morality to be morally bankrupt, and utterly deserving of society's scorn (and more).

"Couldn’t a quantum computer simulate a Universe that appears (to any simulated observers within) to be impossible to be simulated on a quantum computer?"

Given the Church-Turing thesis, what would that look like, though? How would we even identify it? We ask "hey, universe, what's 2 + 3" and it says "C'thulu"?

Even the quantumness of the simulation is an efficiency argument, not a possibility argument. A classical computer can simulate our quantum universe, it just has even worse resource requirements that simulating the universe seems to. But there would be no experiment you could run from within that would show you're running on a classical computer or a quantum one. You might be able to create experiments that consume yet vaster amounts of computation time, but you couldn't tell from the inside.

And it's not as if I can just stroll down to my kitchen and perform an experiment that will go one way if the universe is computing to a 10^-20 accuracy, and another if it's using 10^-23 accuracy. Most of your personal experience could be simulated with a classical approach with ad-hoc minor quantum fixups here and there.
Did you actually find any examples of GrapheneOS phoning home?

GrapheneOS doesn't rely on any third-parties I'm aware of. The only service provided is over-the-air security updates. It doesn't even come with an app store (although you can install F-Droid).

For that reason, GrapheneOS alone fits all three categories you mentioned: It is Android, it is GrapheneOS, and it is fully controllable / doesn't ship bloatware.
It's more about the precedent set by the ease with which large companies can issue takedowns like this. Eliminating that ability is the issue at hand.

"Optimistic but not obviously unrealistic inputs" include reducing the cost of hohlraums from the million dollar range to 10$ (not even sure if that accounts for the price of the gold itself), a reactor capable of resisting 50 million pulses before needing replacement, and a few others.

It also considers the price of a fusion power plant to be less than that of a fission power plant, based entirely on the observation that it would have less stringent safety requirements.

Overall this article may be right in principle if taken to refer to an arbitrarily far away future (hundreds of years away at least, if ITER and DEMO are to be taken as realistic examples of the pace of improvement of fusion power in general, even if they are MCF instead of ICF).

Neither solve the root problem - poor road design
No worries, I will try to give a better explanation.

There are two things I am concerned, the material and the design.

My main concern with the material would be how much shear the 1/4 thick mild steel tubes could handle the machine's weight.

My concern with the design is that it would not be sturdy enough to withstand the weight of the machine even if the steel technically could. The tubes at the top are fastened with one through bolt. Two if you count the bolt holding the lower pipe.

Contrast that with the arms of the machine. Double pipes and a(2, front and back) thick gusset plate at the pivot.

You see the same construction at the front of the arm, 2 gusset plates on either side of the pipes with 6 bolts on the arm side and 4 on the loading side. Also washer to spread the load on the gusset plates.

The arm/bucket is what does the work, so I expect it to be engineered to work.

The machine will not be picking up loads heavier than it, otherwise it would tip forward. So any load put on the roll cage will be greater than the load put on the bucket but I do not see the attention to detail on the roll cage that I see in the bucket/arm connections.

I could be wrong, I am not a design/structural engineer. I work as a production engineer but in a factory that builds highway construction equipment. The designs that I am used to seeing are single steel tube bent in an arch for greater strength. Also you are not allowed to weld or cut holes in the tube as that would compromise the strength.

Id answer this in 2 ways:

First.

Let's say we have a trillion people in space stations/multiple planets. Fusion is a energy source that can plausibly power them.

Second.

fission works close to other sources, but is so hampered by regulation that it hasn't gotten to be affordable. This may be fixed in the future. micro-reactors solve the biggest economy of scale issues and a renewed bipartisan interest in nuclear could help it be politically viable. If fission works in theory, fusion definitely works in theory (as the energy output is much higher).
They did that because they’re both deep into it and because that’s the right thing to do.
Just for comparison let’s have a look at the “green” Germany emissions.
You could try to "encrypt" data and use Mapbox expressions/frontend transform to decrypt.
Point coordinates will be randomly shifted, you will send in a separate request as Wasm/J module to reposition features on the map. Wasm module could call to Mapbox expression to reposition points.

This would make it very hard to scrape. If someone scrape vector data without reverse engendering decryption module, then will get incorrect data. You just make sure that wasm module obfuscated.

Not sure if mapbox expression can perform change of coordinates. But there might be different ways to transform vector data on frontend.

If they use heating at all (and not just AC) and have a thermostat as everyone else it would automatically account for the extra heat and not run the furnace as much. This is also why a blanket ban on incandescent lightbulbs is silly.
Java has always had checked exceptions, a weak form of type-checked effect. They were controversial because developers didn't like being forced to handle them, but I always thought they were a great idea. Algebraic effect handlers just generalise the idea of an exception, by providing a continuation that can be called to resume execution.

Author of that cited article is with the very conservative Heartland Institute.

Protecting vaccinated patients from being infected through vaccine breakthrough by unvaccinated patients is clearly a health and safety rule which is under OSHA.

Unvaccinated employees because they are much more likely to become infected, and infectious for longer periods of time than vaccinated employees, present a biohazard risk to vaccinated employees.

The Heartland author article did not even mention health and safety and biohazards.
Not to diminish your comment, but a thing I've found late my career is to abandon dogma when it comes to young folks learning.

I have no idea what your point is with that comment. If you think the government in place is a result of centuries of systemically corrupt oppression and then you turn around place faith in that same systemically evil government you're either drowning in cognitive dissonance or you're just a hypocritical authoritarian that's ok with the "evil" as long as it puts your agenda in place.

The 3rd alternative is that you're not aware of what BLM means when they discuss systemic racism. It is not just guilt, it opines that the entirety of western civilization is corrupt due to it's creation by racist evil white men.
> Eh, I consider Java to be barely typed too. If you have a variable of type Foo, the type system doesn't even guarantee that you have a Foo in there (it might be null). The whole point of a type system, in my mind, is to guarantee that I have that Foo!

That seems a rather arbitrary limitation. When Java says Foo, it would translate to what you would consider Maybe<Foo>. How you represent types, and what that representation implies is a matter of semantics.

That said, Java's type system is pretty dang weird, especially generics.

The concepts themselves aren't particularly hard to grok, but the more academic side of functional programming (i.e. Haskell) is comically inaccessible, mostly due to jargon (monads aren't even that bad compared to something like kleisli arrows).

You should look at the amount of battery plants that are being built right now. This is just in Europe. Economies of scale at work. https://mobile.twitter.com/ZennRoland/status/135382169441102...
You should look at offering this as a service perhaps. 2,500 250MB lambdas for $250/month with all AWS guarantees (ie, Multi-AZ, permissioning on every call etc etc) would be pretty compelling I think for folks running intermediate lambda workloads (ie, 5-10K lambadas at a time).

Reading more about this, it seems that one of the ideas is indeed to capture the neutrons in a liquid lithium blanket, that would then produce both heat and tritium, and using that heat, that is outside the magnetic confinement, to connect to a turbine.

Unfortunately, I believe that the area of actually capturing the energy of the fusion reaction is almost entirely unstudied yet in practice.

> I have so many questions about this now. For example, how often are people not distinguishing between amount of data versus number of cases?

To state your question more broadly. Data has structure that's why we can learn in the first place. Can we separately talk about the structure vs number of examples of the different structures in our data? In computer vision this would be sort of like talking about how much information is within an object class vs between object class.

We don't know. And we don't have the mathematical tools to talk about this today.

> Do we really have any sense of how "effective number of parameters" scales with network features? This article had me wondering if peoples' understanding of these things is backward or something.

It's not backward, it's non-existent. We basically try things and when we have too many parameters we see that performance isn't increasing (or isn't increasing enough to be worth it, or with unsupervised methods and massive datasets we just max out the size of network we can train).
