> 4. It looks like without reducing nuclear power it could have replaced the equivalent amount of fossil fuels (achieving less than 20% fossil fuels by 2020). However, energy consumption has also gone up since 1990, so it would have required building more reactors.

Coal exit is not related to nuclear exit in Germany. Germany would have the exact same amount of coal plants if they'd kept nuclear.

Coal is about jobs (and votes) in regions which are already troubled by unemployment. This is why the name of the commission which decided how the phase out will work was: "Commission on Growth, Structural Change and Employment"

> Americans can say anything, even if it's proudly proclaiming "fuck [current politician]"

as the joke goes:

The American says: ''I can walk in front of the White House and shout 'Down with Reagan,' and nothing will happen to me.'' The Russian retorts: ''I can walk in front of the Kremlin and yell 'Down with Reagan,' too, and nothing will happen to me, either.''
Thanks. That’s helping the clear it up.

So what’s the point of the encoding and decoding steps?

Then the transformer is just another neural net in between that does some funny business with attention?
Exhibit B will be the UK. Their cases started spiking about two weeks ago. So far their hospitalizations haven't budged and are even a bit lower than they were a month ago, less than a quarter of their pandemic peak[1]

I am not confusing these terms.

As usual, they represent a spectrum of desirability, harm, regulation and sanctions. Complete transparency to the public is of course an utopian goal.

The key here is that political influence is handled very differently from commercial influence. Regulation of un-branded advertisements vary by country with some being more lenient and others more strict.

But political content is frequently held to higher standards, and should be.
If gas is used for both heating and electricity production, or share any other fuel source, the prices of electricity and heating will still be related.
> Also what do you mean by they've been exposed to the virus?

"have been exposed to the virus" usually means something like "immune system isn't totally unprepared, but has had contact with this virus before (or a proxy via vaccination)".

In South Africa, it is mostly via getting COVID-19 in the Alpha or Delta waves.

Yes, over 70% of South Africans have had it:

1. There is very little energy storage

2. Sun and wind only produce a fraction of the time (40% [1] and 25% [2] respectively, and 7.5% (= 8.94/(63.2+56)) of installed capacity this very second [3])

3. Production capacity without sun and wind < peak demand

A blockchain solves none of the issues you listed, though. You still need to transport it, most cryptocurrencies still have escrow solutions, and a blockchain is fundamentally a third party you have to trust (and the more established currencies are decidedly not instant). You can sell a piece of art instantly for cash if you wanted to, the problem is all the other logistics surrounding it.
You could go down the rabbit hole and say that misinformation, poor decision making, logical fallacies, mental health issues, etc. are the actual catalysts.

My point is that COVID and heart disease are largely preventable at an individual level if you have ability to eat healthy foods and take the vaccine and/or practice social distancing.
TLDR: a loan shark bites the dust. Only notable because this one was backed by the sand hill road mob.
Well, it is obvious, that the renewable production needs to be paired with some on-demand sources. Short term, gas is great for that, as gas power plants can be switched on and off quickly, long-term the necessary storage options are needed (some of that can be power2gas, which can be burnt in the gas power plants).

More generally, any correlation between two items gives potential for a correlated failure.

Same manufacturer, same disk space, same location, same operator, same maintenance schedule, same legal jurisdiction, same planet, you name it, and there's a common failure to match
Ideally, countries would just not do this. “Everybody does it” is not a convincing argument to move the conversation elsewhere and let it slide. FB/twitter is trying to mitigate this to some extent, but it’s a weird notion that companies are expected to regulate governments now. When an actor abuses a platform, the blame should be focused on the actor.
> Because that would mean no power at all to the DC and no way to get it back? (I am completely ignorant on this topic)

While most of smarts in the ATS are in the electronics, the really nasty failures come from the mechanical part.

At the end of the day a high energy ATS looks just like a switch behind a meter in your house. There's a lip that goes from one position to another, except in a high energy ATS the lip is big and when the transfer occurs it slams from one source to another.

There are only so many of those physical slams that it can withstand to being with so you want to minimize that number.

The second failure mode is that after transfer to non-main source, the lip can get stuck there, making it impossible to switch back on the main. [Once I have seem the lip melt into the secondary position. While I thought it was weird, the guys from the power company said it is not that uncommon.] This creates a massive problem as the non-main source is typically not designed for long term 24x7 operation. So now you are stuck on a secondary feeding system and you cant just transfer to main without de-energizing the system i.e. taking the power out of the entire data center.
Who is a reasonable consumer? Industries like steel refinement are basically just energy cost arbitrage just like Bitcoin but you get steel instead of Bitcoin.

Plus crypto dynamically changes the mining difficulty.
Basic premises of public schooling in the US. The rest of the world, not so much.
If any person notices evidence of domestic abuse or someone's aptitude they are liable to do what they can do support them. The context here is they're trying to get to the child to influence them into their own worldview. Should we trust our public school teachers with that much responsibility? If your answer is yes, then you should ask yourself what would you do if the worldview was the one you hate the most.
Sure, we'll see it when it happens. Renewables are like a trickle at best, all the low hanging fruit there is taken, and the required battery capacity is huge....

Potentially. What I explicitly dislike is the mea culpa portion (and subsequent apology grading, where people try to derive some intent) Rather, I like "responses" with a plan. Is that the same as an apology to you, even without explicitly saying "I'm sorry"?
> Hospitals fill up every winter from respiratory viruses.

No, they don't "fill up".

> The healthcare system is designed to fill up.

No, the generalized ideal occupancy rate is about 85%. The smaller the hospital, the lower the ideal occupancy rate.

My local hospital is at 115%. All elective surgeries have been cancelled. This is not normal by any stretch of the imagination.
Here's the GCHQ unit that somehow never shows up in the coordinated inauthentic behavior reports. We know some of the specifics because of the Snowden leaks.

The propaganda efforts (named "Online Covert Action"[3] utilize "mass messaging" and the "pushing [of] stories" via the medium of Twitter, Flickr, Facebook and YouTube.[2] Online "false flag" operations are also used by JTRIG against targets.[2]

I's pretty clear to me that every country does this, and it's only the countries without any political sway over Facebook, et al that end up in the 'inauthentic behavior' reports.
> you can not deduce an empirical phenomenon on the basis of logic.

Fish are unable fly. Let us set up a flight training course comprised of all different sorts of birds and fish. The ability to fly is required to pass the course. We may logically conclude that the fish would disproportionately fail this course.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. The judge said that they think its reasonable to expect teachers could pass a math training course, regardless of race. Do you disagree?
As an employee of the Linux Foundation - yes.
They calculate 130 years of supply at current consumption rates. Nuclear power supplies something like 5% of the global primary energy, so scaling this to 100% would deplete the estimated reserves in a few years.

Breeders would help, but have so far not been very successful. For example, the German Thorium breeder THTR-300 is considered one of the greatest technological failures in postwar history.
Unfortunately Germany's medium term decarbonization plan relies on Russian gas. The Greens could throw a wrench into this plan and sabotage it like they did with nuclear energy. But then the question is what do they put in its place? And the answer is almost always: coal.
Yeah same. Nothing wrong with being unemployed.
Mixed raster content, I assume.

Basically, you scan a paper document. It contains a mixture of line art, text, and photographs—“mixed” types of content. You can segment it and use different codecs to encode these different segments, and then combine the results in a PDF.
> What exactly are they waiting on?

The thing that needs to not happen is filling up hospitals. People died where I live because they could not get access to 'elective' surgery due to the medical system being slammed during the most recent Delta wave.

Once that's not a factor, things will start getting more normal.
> It's ultimately a gradient

It's actually not. In global politics actors rarely engage in things their peers don't. It seems to me that this is rather ultimately something more like finding the most wildly looking thing about how other culture manages information flows and PR and focusing optics on it.

> I honestly worry that with the development around language models like GPT-3, the internet as we know it will be completely blanketed with astro-turfed content by language models and low-paid contractors.

Tbh I think that we had already passed this point, with all the low-grade SEO and myriads of copy-paste clickbait internet-tabloids. The internet has already drowned in low-grade media-content and language models would hardly change anything fundamentally in that matter.
> The tractor right to repair issues include software. You might even say that software is the prime issue preventing repair of the newer from equipment. Parts with drm, unsupported software, etc.

My understanding is the farmers just want to be able to repair their tractors without dealer approval (e.g. replace broken parts). They're not looking to hack new features into the firmware and stuff like that.
Check precision energy import charts, especially at night in winter. Germany uses other countries as a battery.
Are the quotes where he calls reporting on the genocide, propaganda, not good enough for you?
I think the general idea is that the USG doubtlessly conducts espionage on Uganda, thus making all formal employees of the USG fair game for espionage. Which makes a good deal of sense. The reason NSO spyware on State Department phones is upsetting isn't that it targets the State Department employees, but that it targets the USG.
It would be great to have that infrastructure of course, but if we're going to say "OK we need to do mammoth projects which require lots of up front capex and ongoing administrative competence", that same argument applies to old-school nuclear reactors too.

The most grating thing about the renewable fad is that "herp durp churn out more wind and solar at the margins decentralized" and "massive coordinated grids and/or huge batteries" are utterly different modes of infrastructure production. There is no sense in which getting really good at the former makes one any better at the latter.
You seem to be talking in absolutes rather than probabilities.
Have you read this book? https://www.amazon.com/Red-Roulette-Insiders-Corruption-Veng...

Desmond Shum fled China with his son after his wife, one of the richest women in China, was disappeared back in 2017. He was told all sorts of things, like a bullet was put in her head, but supposedly she called him briefly shortly after the book was published (he doesn't know for sure). His son (12 years old) often cries uncontrollably, as his mother has disappeared and not contacted him in years. He gives a detailed explanation of how business and power works in China, and to say it is anything like America or other Western liberal countries would be patently absurd.

This is a syllogism and masks a complete mismatch of both demand and risks of windless days. There is no insurmountable problem if you accept a market in electricity in Europe, demand management (which already exists in the market in air-conditioning, freezing and thermal mass industries) and overbuild of supply. Not to mention storage.

It's not just a syllogism, it's a really weak one. You actually can decide when people "turn on their washing machine". It's called controlled supply, it's existed since the 1950s. Mainly for water heating but in principle any function.
Can you show me an area where the covid+ college age population was a healthcare capacity burden?

Further, if we're at such risk of overburdening our healthcare system, how come we have fewer heathcare workers today than we did back in 2018? How come our hospital bed capacity is shrinking instead of growing? These don't seem to be indicators that suggest we're lacking capacity in our healthcare systems.

In the past two years we've printed 80% of all US Dollars that have been printed in the history of the USD. We are not short on funding. Further it's not death or illness that is largely to blame for healthcare worker shortage as the only large drop in HCWs was on march 2020. Since then it's been growing, just hasn't recovered yet.
hydro, but thats also something we do not built because it's not environment friendly (takes a lot of space and kills species living there and might need to move people). keep in mind we are not china they basically do everything lately to grow their energy, hydro, nuclear, wind, solar the full mix, something which would not be possible in germany, because people would go full madness, heck even wind already is something that some people do not like.

Not to me :) But it's difficult to articulate.
I believe the scientific consensus is that there isn't enough data to discount that theoretical concern. There's still too much uncertainty on how things will pan out, so the recommendation is boosters + some restrictions. They're not going to make a bet when people's lives are at stake, which seems reasonable to me. With more data coming out, I personally do hope we find that that concern is very unlikely. The situation is changing drastically day-by-day.

It has been really interesting to observe the hysteria. From the moment they chose the name Omicron, which sounds like a nemesis in a Transformers movie. But more in observing how friends and family back home latch on to the media (which they remain constantly plugged into). The repetition of buzzwords and how enthusiastically they talked about booster shots now being 5 months instead of 6. I don't know anything at all about the medical realities, but can see loud and clear, more than ever how people's mental states are manipulated by media.
But compare that to the delta wave last winter! The infections are 3-4 times higher and the death count is 2-3 times lower (so far).
I don't think this is true.

I think for most of HN's readership, China is the current Big Bad. There will be exceptions, like there always are for anything, but in general this will be true.

The US is something to be criticized because many HN readers either live in the US or interact with US companies/tech. Critiquing what one knows is to be expected. But they do not consistently describe every action of an American company, business or initiative as some sort of lie or conspiracy to suppress dissent. Some companies, they do; but many they do not. What would be HN's readership instinctive reaction to a mainland Chinese company that claimed to be like YC?
Oh.. and don't forget when bug reports get closed because the dev's say "this has received no action".
I see this on github all the time. The team finds an old bug report and closes it because it was reported months or years earlier. I mean nothing was fixed, but the reporter isn't super responsive.
The existence of worse problems does not make other problems go away. It's reasonable and desirable to strive for a better future no matter how good the present is.

A high-speed train can connect inner cities just as fast as this gimmick jet. It is orders of magnitude more efficient and scalable, and much more safe.

Do you think it will even have a toilet?

Just. Build. A. Train.

We don't have a planetary grid (yet, at least). If there's a high pressure system across Europe, the whole continent can have low wind. This usually comes with either very high temperatures (in summer) or very low temperatures (in winter) which further stresses the system.
