Gurren Lagann is a Hero's Journey, but in 100% over-the-top Studio Trigger style.

They make it the biggest, most absurd, comically over-the-top Hero's Journey ever. (With great references to those who know the Hero's Journey: Viral == "The Rival", anagram. Viral's mech is "Enkidu", who was "The Rival" to Gilgamesh, the original Hero's Journey story).

Gurren Lagaan is quite stupid at face value. But the writers clearly spent a lot of time thinking about the details of the hero's journey and how to make it incredibly over-the-top.

Stupid at face value, but actually well thought out in details / references, so you can just turn off your brain and have fun... or you can turn your brain on and try to see how the show plays with the Hero's Journey plot and take a more serious perspective.

You didn't mention it, but IIRC what made the overflow possible was the increased performance of Ariane 5. Such values couldn't physically be reached with Ariane 4.

Now, the real irony is that indeed that computation and whole subsystem wasn't needed. It tells you something about removing unneeded parts. On the other hand, the aerospace sector is traditionally very conservative and reluctant to change things.

If nuclear can compete on price; sure why not. But it seems it has some issues with that. That's why the private sector is a bit hands off on this front. There is no shortage of alternatives with more lucrative returns on investment (i.e. non negative ones).

And plenty of those alternatives are doing great in terms of funding, growth, and cost. Hundreds of GW of wind and solar came online during the last two years or so. Most of the projections for this market from only a few years ago were completely wrong and this growth has caught more than a few governments by surprise and prompted quite a few of them to move forward earlier announced dates to clean up the grids in their country. E.g. the UK is now talking about 2030 for this. There might be one new nuclear plant coming online in that time frame and possibly a few more might get built. But it's peanuts compared to renewables. At this point it seems more like an expensive vanity project for politicians than a practical solution to supplying energy.

Most of the challenges are actually not adding capacity but balancing the grid and moving energy around. Energy storage and cables basically. Grid infrastructure is where public spending needs to happen. There are a lot of countries that are actually slowing down renewable energy deployments because their grids just can't keep up. Most of the time when you see a wind mill not spinning it's not because it's broken but because it's been turned off because the grid can't handle the over supply. Kind of embarrassing for the companies involved. All that expensive kit and they can't handle the output.

Expensive nuclear plants that you can't turn off and on on demand are part of the problem here; not the solution. Mostly the hard choice grid providers have to make is turning wind turbines off or shutting down e.g. a gas plant. They both cost money whether they produce or not. Some grid providers even have occasional negative rates because of this: they literally pay consumers to consume more electricity. It's preferable to temporarily reducing capacity at great cost. That's why grid batteries are so hot right now.

IMHO current generations of nuclear technology are a bit of a dead end in terms of cost. But maybe somebody figures out a 10x improvement. Worth some public spending. Fusion is actually getting some traction lately and it seems that is starting to attract some serious money and there have been some breakthroughs reported recently.
I've been working on a Go -> C++ compiler pretty much mainly for this use case, that skips the GC and concurrency stuff -- https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/r2795t/i_wrote_a_si... -- Includes a demo video of a game I'm making with it and a built-in scene editor that uses reflection etc.

Repo for compiler itself: https://github.com/nikki93/gx (no README.md etc. yet, will be getting to that when I next have a chance (it's a side project)). It just takes around 1500 lines of Go thanks to the parser and typechecker in the standard library.

Go's perf was definitely non-trivially bad for me on WebAssembly.

I "normalize" my previous titles to whatever pattern/scheme my current company uses.

I don't agree that your premises add up to your conclusion.

The fact that both are worth more than their inputs and have big markets doesnt necesarily mean that they pair together. Basically all manufactured goods meet this description.

I agree there probably is a way to join them but you have to define what that is before arguing there is a value proposition.
Mac keeps a list of (hashes of) apps that are not allowed to run. It’s updated constantly and synced to your computer, so in effect they can remotely disable malicious software for all users all at once.

This was a big deal a few years ago when (IIRC) a bug caused it not to cache the list long enough and it started causing problems when it couldn’t phone home. Aside from that it’s always been a perfectly seamless process.

If it helps, when I close my eyes I see black/darkness.

If I close my eyes and try to picture what my bedroom looks like, I still only see black/darkness… but I can still describe the features of the room in very much detail. I definitely can’t conjure up a vivid image in my head, I would describe it more as a feeling rather than a strictly visual experience. Same with recalling what someone’s voice sounds like… I can imagine what someone’s voice sounds like, but definitely can’t hear their voice in any meaningful level of detail, yet I’m still able to describe the voice - it’s more of a feeling than a literal audio/visual experience.

I definitely wouldn’t describe my own experience as anything close to a visual hallucination because I only see black/darkness… (I think) it’s uncommon to literally see things with extreme clarity as someone hallucinating would. Or maybe seeing black/darkness when visualizing things is abnormal?

This is a mostly western view since westerners engaged in a zero sum conflict with the oldest super power on the planet to gain temporary economic advantages for the last 100 years or so... most of the world doesn't agree with that view of China even with the $ billions ($trillions?) of anti-Chinese propaganda spending by the west.

Yeah browsing around their web site and product pages I couldn't find anything. After I signed in to Wolfram Cloud for the first time, I got an email with a little bit of explanation of the Basic plan:

With this introductory Wolfram Cloud plan, you get:

* 200 MB of cloud storage

* 5,000 Cloud Credits per month

* Temporary cloud deployments, allowing you to publish Wolfram Notebooks in the cloud and deploy APIs for up to 60 days

No idea what a "cloud credit" gets me, and still have no idea what functionality is available compared to, say, a WolframeOne or Mathematica or Wolfram Notebook subscription (which if you upgrade from the basic Cloud account you need to pick one of those three upgrade paths, which then each have different tiers).
Indeed. A large multi GB app feel hefty and solid. I feel reassured that it won't fly off the window when working outside on a windy day.

Yep, we all draw our own lines on that. The complicating factor with COVID is that acting on your own higher risk tolerance impacts other people too.

Those are completely different levels of heterogeneity. A GPU/TPU might draw a lot of power, but does it have to be separate power? Do you need to put that stuff on a separate slab to isolate it from vibration? Does it need its own air filtration system? Do you need a new runbook, because your usual redundancy approaches can't be used for million-dollar systems? Do your DC techs need new training, because the usual "yank and replace" isn't applicable either?

I've watched colleagues in a team adjacent to my own work through these issues. Have you? Slapping a commodity card into a box and loading some commodity software on it seems like a cakewalk by comparison. Obviously people thought it was worth it anyway, but I think you're seriously misunderstanding where the difficulties lie and what kind of resources are needed to overcome them. 200+ engineers would be overkill (unless FB engineers are ~4x more productive than Google engineers) but you'll need other kinds of specialists as well and the installation/operational costs will still be high. It's unlikely to be worth it for an organization much smaller or different.

call this a romanticized view, but for every tool mankind has created - there are ways to utilize it in good VS bad outcomes. I didn't really think of it as; the learning would concentrate around opposing views. Instead of "liberal views on middle east" vs "conservative views on middle east" it would be about "middle east politics" whether you are interested in the topic or not in general - if that makes sense.

I would use a tool like this. That being said, that is not always a good indicator for a broad adoption interest.
Thanks-- I missed that in my read through.

I generally hate the expression "Ahead of its time", but I think that it definitely applies to Hypercard.

I've only played a bit with Hypercard, but it's one of those things that feels almost anachronistic; it's hard to believe that something released in 1987 would be as trivial to use and be productive with as Hypercard.
> I wouldn't say it's core to the design of the language.

It is absolutely core to the language. TypeScript's core value proposition is that you can take vanilla JavaScript and use it from TypeScript without any overhead, incrementally migrate to TS, or maintain a heterogeneous codebase as long as you want.

If you take away seamless zero-overhead JS interop, the language you have is radically different from TypeScript. To the degree that any language has any identity at all, that would be a pretty fundamental change in its identity. Like taking objects from Java or pointers from C.

To the best of my knowledge, no one has figured out how to have a language that allows mixing dynamic and static typing without either massive runtime overhead or giving up soundness. You basically have three options:

1. Allow dynamic types to flow into statically typed code

2. Soundness inside the statically typed code

3. Tolerable runtime overhead when using dynamic code from static code

But you only get to pick two. TypeScript, Dart 1.0 and other optionally typed languages give you 1 and 3 at the expense of 2. Dart 2.0 and other statically typed languages give you 2 and 3 at the expense of 1. Gradually typed languages like Typed Racket give you 1 and 2 at the expense of 3 (and are rarely used in practice because of it).

You're asking for TypeScript to just add 2. People have been trying to figure out how to get all three for decades but no one has succeeded yet [1].

It's been a long time, so I can't remember which I liked more, but I definitely don't remember Ender's Shadow being a complete package in the way Ender's Game was. It leaves open a bunch of questions about the events in Ender's Game, doesn't have the same satisfying epilogue, and introduces a bunch of things that feel unresolved (the genetic engineering, and more focus on the global conflict stuff). If the GP commenter liked Ender's Game, they could go on to read the sequels and Shadow series, but if they didn't like Ender's Shadow, they'd have a bunch of unresolved questions.
The song is a bit cynical for my tastes, but it seems willfully obtuse to not be able to fathom why someone would be very frustrated with many aspects of modern Christmas.
I seem to remember a short story by James Tiptree Jr. who had a somewhat similar theme. In the story it was children born with deformities who were given robotic bodies and then spaceships to navigate, if I remember correctly.
My current neighborhood (in greater silicon valley area) was built in 1997-98 and I can walk to pretty much anything I need.

My secret weapon with learning Spanish was really just studying a lot and practicing, and not wasting time doing other stuff.

That's the secret weapon for learning just about any language, actually. That, and this thing known as "taste" (for good works of literature, film and music to break down and compare against translations, word by word).

Beyond that I would drill down into https://www.reddit.com/r/italianlearning/ (and the general language learning reddits) where you'll find way more informed opinion than you'll find here.

>The strange minority is those who desire this awful hell we’ve enacted with our covid response.

Have you considered that rather than people wanting this "awful hell", that they believe mask mandates are our way out of this hell?

I don't know anyone who wants mandates, kids in and out of school, masks, etc. But I know plenty of people who are willing to inconvenience themselves temporarily for what they believe to be the greater good for all.
I think the reality is a lot more complicated than that.

There are many possible paths moving forward and from what I understand, if Omicron continues to mutate, it can take different, possibly more lethal strains.

There's a human tendency to wrap events into a neat story, with a beginning, middle, and end. But viruses are apathetic and ahistoric. They don't care for narrative.
how does the timetravel feature work?
This sounds like bullshit. It's basically saying nobody ever gets to own anything. They only own a limited right to use that they can transfer, but in doing so they need to pay the original owner. We already have a means of artists and companies and what not profiting from secondary market activity. The next time they issue stock or sell a new painting, the price is higher than the last time. They don't need a cut every time everything they ever make resells. This just reduces the ability of anyone else down the line to profit and entrenches the power and wealth of original owners.
The Norwegian government announces that alcohol sales at bars and restaurants will be banned and stricter rules will be implemented at schools due to the spread of the Omicron variant. The government also announces that the COVID-19 vaccine booster dose interval has been reduced to 4.5 months and that the military will assist with the booster dose campaign.

Scary.
> major problems could be sorted out over the following years with manned repair missions, like they did with hubble

Not anytime soon. The Hubble is in low-earth orbit at an altitude of 540 Km, whereas JWST is at the Earth-Sun L2 point at an altitude range of 370 Mm to 1.5 Gm; further than the Moon. No spacecraft capable of carrying humans beyond LEO has been built since the Apollo missions.

Starship and SLS will change the game, but both are still years away from manned flights.

I cannot do this whatsoever, and noticed other people in my class could. I started life in mechanical eng school, and quit shortly after specifically because of this. We were constantly tasked with not only drawing 3d shapes, but rotating them at certain angles and redrawing, things like this. I found myself unable to do so and it absolutely flustered my brain to the point of switching majors.
