These tests were all tweaked for low fallout though, with artificially reduced yields.

And many were air bursts that are less bad because they don't throw a whole lot of soil into the air. A lot of the multi megatonne ones in particular. They weren't simulating actual attack scenarios with those as they were so overpowered there'd be no point. It was just a big dick measuring contest at that point. I think the Soviets won with their Tsar Bomba and I guess the US wasn't willing to escalate it further.

But yeah I think most of the nuclear winter scenarios were based on massive conflict with those multi megatonne bombs which are no longer in use.

I think the new wave of common residential video security systems, like Ring, are going to make this incredibly clear in the coming years.

Events involving the police abusing power are often “he said, she said” situations that are heavily biased in favor of the police. We’ve seen an uptick in reporting since everyone started carrying a camera, and when every home has an always-on video security system, victims will have the evidence they need to really fight for their rights.

Maybe this is the right forum to ask... Why the debug system in Julia is so terribly slow? It seems to me that Debug.jl (or whatever runs in VSCode) interprets, rather than running, the code. The result is that for me debugging is just unusable.

The standard way to put breakpoints in an executable is to replace the instruction at which to stop with INT3 (or something analogous in other architectures). Then give the system a callback for your debugger when the CPU receives the interrupt.

Is there a way to make Julia's debugger do that?

As somebody not very well-versed in this, a sincere question. Would something like 5g be able to replace a home intranet / network? Eg I have a personal media server that I stream to devices on my wifi--would this be able to work with 5g? From my perspective 5g can only replace internet access, yes? Devices that want to communicate with each other securely would still prefer to be connected over wifi or other personal network like Ethernet?

Theres a nearly limitless number of ways to store energy. Plenty of them don't require cobalt. The cheaper renewables get the less efficient storage technologies need to be to be cost effective.

Anywhere pricing of electricity fluctuates with the intermittence of renewables there is opportunity to use storage to profit. The faster we drive the adoption of renewables in the 1st world the faster prices on storage tech will drop which will benefit the developing world. Especially the parts which will never have transmission lines built out from some centralized power plant 300 kilometers away.

Very interesting article!

Unfortunately, it doesn't mention Lua, which in my opinion has one of the most elegant C APIs that I have seen. It is entirely stack based, which means you only need to work with primitive types, such as numbers, C strings and user provided opaque pointers. As a consequence, you never have to care about memory management because Lua doesn't even let you access the actual Lua objects.

You want to create a table (= Lua's dictionary/array hybrid) and set a field "foo" to 5? lua_newtable() creates a new table and pushes it onto the stack. Then you push "foo" with lua_pushstring() and 5 with lua_pushnumber(). Finally you call lua_settable(), which pops the key and value from the stack, checks if the top of the stack contains a table, and if yes, sets the given field to the given value. The actual table structure is never exposed!

This kind of stack manipulation might seem unusual and a bit unweildy, but what you get is safety. If you mess up the stack or perform illegal operations, Lua will call an error handler, but the VM should never crash. The stack API can be seen as the fundamental layer upon which people can create nice abstractions for their host language of choice. Examples are "sol2" for C++ (https://github.com/ThePhD/sol2) or "lupa" for Python (https://github.com/scoder/lupa)

The public API is contained in "lua.h": https://github.com/lua/lua/blob/master/lua.h. "lauxlib.h" offers some useful helper functions: https://github.com/lua/lua/blob/master/lauxlib.h

For comparison, this is Python's "Limited" C API: https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/stable.html#stable

If you want to learn more about Lua's C API, have a look at section 4 in https://www.lua.org/manual/5.4/manual.html

I heard an interview with Jane McAlevey (a well regarded union organizer) who stated that the way the campaign was run was all wrong, and doomed to fail. You're supposed to get virtually everyone in the shop on board before any sort of official count, because once it's an official count the management is going to do all sorts of underhanded things to win. It's expected that they are not going to play fair, so generally you shouldn't be trying to increase your votes once the vote is on, you just want to hold on to enough of the votes you've already got to win. If you hold the vote before you're ready, then you start out way behind. The management will usually brazenly cheat or threaten to close the factory or fire the organizers on false pretenses etc. The labor board will slap them on the wrist and invalidate the vote, then you do it again, but you can't win at that point. They don't have to play so dirty the second time around. The damage is done. It's too late.

Yeah, I feel like this article's outrage at the inability of prisoners to get used books is unwarranted. What actually deserves this level of outrage is the violence encountered by many in prison as you mentioned.

Many of the people are in prison did seriously bad things, and should be allowed out any time soon. But, the eighth amendment also says people should not be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment [4]. But perhaps I'm just soft like Tom DuBois from The Boondoks.

> There are plenty of people who see the police as the standing army the founding fathers warned us about.

Firstly, this requires some real historical revisionism as police were actually around when the founding fathers were. American law is foundationally based on British Common Law, which also employed police vigorously.

But I agree with you about HN. Most of the commentators here probably supported the giant expansion of federal, militarized police: the Capitol Police. That $3B expansion funded on conspiracies of white supremacists everywhere has led to two new charters of a federal police in states not in the Capitol.

100% agree. I only used wal2json because my risk tolerance for the project was between "can't be bothered to pay the onboarding/maintenance cost of Kafka for Debezium" and "can't be bothered to implement a reader for the (well documented IIRC) stable binary WAL format" which is a weird spot to be in. This was a PoC written meant to demonstrate how we could implement the features we needed from ES using no more than standard Postgres tooling and a tiny service that was good enough to roll right into production with minor changes. It took under a week, though ideally I would have take the time to decoded the binary WAL format directly after saving the raw stream for safety's sake. Rust wasn't even an option at the time, nowadays it'd be mostly a bunch of macros and annotations with a sprinkingly of hand written FromBytes implementations and tiny bit of IO+serde glue code.

IIRC it took another data scientist and engineer under a month to turn the raw WAL logs into an audit log interface with pretty SSO avatars and weekly reporting. Someone from the devops team with DBA experience implemented time traveling staging DBs with continuous archiving and point in time recovery from production in the same time. Someone else later improved it so PITR used full backups created from a filtered WAL log so devs could select which parts of the production DB they copied over instead of each babying their own staging cluster that took days to rebuild. The whole project ended up giving us all of the benefits of event sourcing using standard, well tested tooling for a fraction of the cost.

We've thrown around the phrase "not invented here syndrome" so much that we've over corrected - as humans are wont to do - and now the younger generation thinks architectures like event sourcing or infrastructure like Kafka are a better solution than to just consume replication logs over a TCP connection to one of the most popular open source databases on the planet (not directed at the GP but my former coworkers :)). I'm starting to wonder if I've reached the age where I sound like the adults in the Peanuts cartoons, except the sound vaguely resembles "Get your resume driven development off my lawn!"

I have fair understanding of a teachers' union. I think I can say that the NY situation is pretty degenerate relative to most places/unions. My cursory understanding is that if NYSED made an effort to actually push through their arbitration backlog at various points in the past, that situation would be much less ridiculous.

Around plenty of municipalities, teachers' unions are just trying to get teachers slightly closer to living wages, and trying to best advocate for their students. That's the impression I've gotten from being vaguely around during a lot of bargaining meetings.

Disclaimer: I’m not a scientist, but I want to be.

For things like cancer cells which from a cell surface perspective, can look a lot like healthy cells, I don’t know how one only modifies DNA/RNA expression in only cancer cells. It would have to be all cells with maybe some cellular diagnosis logic in the DNA/RNA itself. Even then cancer evolves. It would have to done multiple times with something like cell descendents information.
The rhetoric of the day around protests has been, property is irrelevant and lives matter. Aside from the dog, the police didn't kill anyone, this time. The rhetoric also says insurance will cover it.

That was a lie.

In this case and in many of the victims of last year's unrest people are finding insurance doesn't cover it. Ethically the city would cover the actions of the officers and the voters and taxpayers would consider that in the next election cycle. If the incumbents win, the people have spoken that the actions are valid. Currently qualified immunity has given a wide path for police to rush in and worry later.

Sadly a dog got hurt, in other cases it has been a flashbang in a crib mutilating a minor. Elections show the will of the people.
I'm a communist so take that for what you will.

I do think that if you stay within the system of liberal democracy, at minimum we need to implement a more modern constitutional order. We've learned a lot about liberal constitutions in 200 years.

However, practically speaking, the political machinery is so ossified that I think only marginal structural changes within the framework are possible (like court packing, electoral vote compacts etc). Political radicals have to do a lot of organizing to build a mass constituency that can make really dramatic alterations without empowering the right wing.

So privacy will evaporate. Imagine dropping millions of these from a drone, carpeting a city. They'd be carried everywhere on clothing, animals, wind. Go to any location and scan for local cameras, download.

Privacy will have to be redefined. We've done this lots of times. You hear what goes on behind the bathroom door, you don't say anything, you actually forget it. Because it's not polite to snoop.

So in future even if you see something you shouldn't on camera, it'd be boorish to mention it.

That doesn't solve the police state of course.

Gene space is huge. My cancer is cured, but now I'm dying of mange. So that's why that mouse kept licking itself. Big ask for someone else. They have trouble getting blood thinners, statins and beta blockers right. And there's no genetics there. It's stuff people ate out in the woods for hundreds of thousands of years.

> There are so many people close to dying in cancer finding volunteers for a Phase 1 test should be easy

I take the opposite approach. These people have few days left. It's a time to make things nice. It can get much worse quick. Cancer, which can be managed, is nowhere near as bad as it can get.

Disease tends to hit all at once. It's really just dying. Cancer, strokes, heart attacks and infections all tend to gang up at once. The trial will kill these people no doubt. If you have a ticket out of the hospital, take it! Don't squander it trying to wash mud.

Also the patient pays a lot for clinical trials. Hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The part of 5G that gets thrown around a lot with high speed and capacity is mostly based on mmWave bands(think 10's of Ghz) which attenuate incredibly quick. Most of them are nearly direct line of sight. You already see some issue with 5Ghz wifi not going well through walls, there's a high chance you'd be falling back to one of the lower speed bands inside.

The other thing is there's a non-zero amount overlap in the way spectrum is used in wifi and 3/4/5G, MIMO, spread spectrum and other approaches are all trying to get as close to the theoretical limit of the channel bandwidth. When you start looking at large scale wifi deployments it starts getting split into cells of channels not to dissimilar to cellular deployments. There are some differences and certain bands benefit from discrete allocation/cell management but at the end of the day it's all radio waves over the air.
This has been shared a few times already and I’m still unclear on its advantages over the vanilla cluster autoscaler.
People lose muscle mass as they age as well. That is why the risk of falling (and not being able to get up) is high among the elderly.
Cancel culture is universal and as old as mankind (ask Galileo for holding the unorthodox view according to the Catholic Church that the Earth revolves around the Sun). They used to cancel you by beheading you. Now they withhold awards. Awards are often about acceptability to the judging class.

It even applies to mathematicians. He who makes the rules picks the winners.
Every contest is by definition arbitrary and the bestowers of the awards can rewrite the rules to suit their needs.

Apparently Goldreich’s mistake according to those politicians in the governing class in Israel:

"Gallant and Shasha-Biton contend that Goldreich’s public statements are so extreme that the state cannot honor him."

"Rather, he is an outspoken opponent of Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and of Israeli settlements."

On April 12, 1633, chief inquisitor Father Vincenzo Maculani da Firenzuola, appointed by Pope Urban VIII, begins the inquisition of physicist and astronomer Galileo Galilei. Galileo was ordered to turn himself in to the Holy Office to begin trial for holding the belief that the Earth revolves around the sun, which was deemed heretical by the Catholic Church. Standard practice demanded that the accused be imprisoned and secluded during the trial.
