The fair value of an unused travel perk would be $0, no?

I err on the side of hyper safetyism when it comes to nuclear, as when it goes wrong, it can make areas permanently uninhabitable.

Not to say that I advocate for a blanket ban.

But I am concerned that a Chernobyl could happen in China, if the same human failure occurs again, in a command economy, with people afraid to speak up regarding safety issues vs targets.

I thought this level of entitlement was restricted to open source users, not devs. AFAIK Rust never promised anything re: the compile-time performance of its standard library, and I know of no 3rd party library that does. You link in a 3rd party library, then that's your code now for better or for worse.
> Pretty interesting problems. In the last year or two I've worked with some of the founding designers of Haskell on compiler profiling. I've heard from Leslie Lamport on using TLA+ to formally prove consensus algorithms. I profiled worst-case-performance of cloud infrastructure across the world. Stephen Wolfram and Vint Cerf gave internal talks to us at monthly learning sessions. I've written systems code in Rust, Haskell, Golang, F#, and multiple other 'cool' languages. I got to ask the guy who introduced monads to functional programming wtf is a monad? I spoke to SPJ about programming. Been taught property-based testing by the creator of QuickCheck. Etc... It's a really cool space if you like tech with some great minds in it.

Sounds a lot like university, what do you guys produce as a result ? Do you work at BlockOne, I hear a lot of such dilettante feedback where work is more about learning fun things at random without any specific purpose. I mean from compiler profiling to property testing, do you have time to focus on a tight deadline ? How many systems do you focus on, if you have to touch 4+ languages just to apply a change ? I hope at least it's not each end to end feature that requires all those languages -_-.

But at least, good you accept to work on all of them, problem where I work, where we do more classical Python/Java/C#/JS,is I have trouble to convince my colleagues just to touch a second one and de-specialize.
Because your sources show energy production in Germany.

The Germans import a significant amount (~64%) of their energy from other countries, including France (nuclear) and Poland (coal), but also countries further afield like Norway and Russia.
One less thing to taint 2022, I suppose. Dang.
> But by today's standards, Lisp a pretty antiquated language which still hasn't caught up to modern trends (static types,

Typed Racket exists, as does syntactic support for static type declarations in Common Lisp (though whether implementations do anything with declarations is up to them; some, however, do offer compile-time checking.)

> asynchronism,

Racket has asynchronisn via both the thread API (which aren't OS thread, but asynchronous tasks with mailboxes) and via promises (promise/force in Racket is pretty much all the good parts of async/await without the bad parts; future/touch provides a similar API for operations that are parallel rather than merely asynchronous.)

> very poor tooling (lack of IDE's)

Racket, CL, and Clojure all have dedicated IDEs; a number of Java-focused IDEs support Clojure as well.

> library ecosystem (building websites, parallelism, GUI, etc...)

Clojure is designed to leverage the JVM ecosystem, so that's clearly not the case for Clojure unless
your standard for a library ecosystem is something beyond what the Java world has. (Similarly with ClojureScript and JS.)

But, sure, there's no Lisp-first platform as popular as the JVM, .NET, JS, or CPython.
Generating that amount of energy using nuclear would cost approximately $13.4 per person per day (IIRC ~3x what we're currently paying for it).
Note that I have not included the cost to generate the energy in the $130 storage costs, but that cost is negligible compared to the $130 anyway.

The environmental damage would probably also be much less with nuclear, versus a ton of solar + wind + batteries. But there would be disaster danger. It is unclear to me how the danger of nuclear disaster would compare to the danger of running out of stored energy in a winter month.

> Storing a weeks worth of consumption on a 'per person' basis can be done for a fraction of $1m.

How?

Since the costs of storage are currently so huge, it seems to me that if you want to go the solar + wind route, it makes sense to overprovision energy generation. That would reduce the amount of storage you need, and the extra energy during summer would be somewhat useful.
Note however that you would need massive amounts of wind+solar.

For an average household to satisfy its electricity needs, it needs ~10 average size solar panels (assuming perfect storage).
However, household electricity use is only 5% of our energy use.
So to satisfy energy needs with solar, you need approximately 200 solar panels per household. Even if you round that down to 50 due to reduction in energy consumption and use of wind energy, it's still a lot. But the Netherlands is obviously not a very good country for solar. In countries like Australia, the numbers would look way better.

> I wonder whether this could be a good early human application for Neurallink...

Isn't Neurallink basically a fantasy at this point? In a similar vein, I can think of a lot of good early human applications for a teleporter as well.
I think you misunderstand how this works in reality. Nobody walks to a shady oerson standing near the corner and says, "hi, I'm joe, today i want to try this meth stuff I've been hearing about, how much for a dose?" When a person is in a vulnerable state, there is always a 'friend' who offers first dose for free, and says, that it is ok and totally safe to try a few times. Consequences come later when it is too late.
I think the process of recovering damages should be standardized, like it is for music recordings: A fixed, but fairly stiff, penalty per offense. This would encourage bounty hunters to go after offenders, and split the proceeds with the owners. The act of offering to sell or share personal information would be interpreted as "intent," and automatically triple the damages.
Maybe one day that will be practical. But right now, you can't even fit that into a top-tier GPU you know...
> You're still selling movies and cameras.

That doesn't matter, the organization is the people in it, if you have to make huge reorganizations in what the people at your company do then that is a huge pivot that is dangerous and likely to fail. Digital companies are not like other companies, you are thinking of companies where brands is the main thing and you can just slap together a new product in a year. It doesn't work like that in normal businesses, Kodak couldn't just say that all their factories specialized on making goods related to old cameras be repurposed to digital cameras.

Some of the expertise can transfer over, but if that is not your competitive advantage it doesn't matter. Kodaks competitive advantage was not camera lenses etc, so they had no way to pivot to digital cameras. Digital cameras destroyed the business they were good at.

> If we take this approach EVERYBODY has pivoted. Walmart has online sales that are "eating into" their in store sales. CVS has home delivery, eating into their foot traffic...

No, not everybody has pivoted. Lots of companies failed to pivot and died. Walmart is aware of this and has started to build expertise around digital sales already, because Walmart doesn't want to die in case digital sales overtakes physical sales.

Ask HN: What activities should I enrol my kids in?
I have 2 children aged 1 and 3. They both started swimming lessons at a few weeks old, and this has been quite successful. They enjoy swimming and are starting to pick up some skills.

So my question is: what things have you signed your kids up to, and what was successful and why?

I'd like them to have lots of experiences so they can discover what they enjoy, but there is a limit to the number of things they can try. I know they are very young now, but time goes by quickly and I want to be prepared.

I'm considering more sports, but also music or dance classes. There are also non-physical things like chess club to consider as they get a bit older.

Occlusion and directionality in image based lighting: implementation details
Unfortunately there are few domain specific libraries available for Julia, like astropy.

We're in the same situation with Julia than 10 years ago when we started moving from IDL to Python. It was painful as Python wasn't born a scientific language, it awkwardly became so with numarray, numpy, numba, pandas, matplotlib, numexpr, scipy, pythran, scikit and whatever never-ending additional mess it requires.

At least Julia is domain specific. Like Matlab and IDL, it's JITed, vectorized and ready to use OOTB without the need for third-party libs.

Still, I really wish GDL was ready back then...

It's not so long ago that the appropriate way to deal with homosexuals was to 'cure' them, for instance by therapy or if that didn't work, by medication. Once 'patients' would be cured they could manage to live happy lives and have happy families. And who knows, the society being the way it was at the time, maybe it would be easier for them at the time to live their lives.
But nowadays most people would agree that it was not those individuals who needed to be cured, but the society around them.

Your comment made me think of that.
> and connected them realistically…

Well, that's the crux of the issue that you don't seem to see. For many observers, it does not look realistic. The unnaturalness of the pixels is what makes it plausible for Apple software to have a bug. If it looked 100% realistic to everyone, we wouldn't be in this thread discussing it.

E.g. Image saving algorithm with a software bug can cause pixels to be incorrectly "replaced" even though the programmers never intended it:

EDIT reply to: >, especially when the image so clearly depicts that.

You still seem to be missing why this discussion of AI error was even possible. In this very thread, there are commenters who still don't see "clear depictions" of a realistic foreground leaf even after being made aware of parallax demonstration in the update... because the blurriness keeps hijacking the brain to make it look like a fake artifact. Consider that the actual person who took the original photo didn't realize it was a real foreground leaf. (Or so he claims.)

In other words, saying "Am I crazy? I don't see why there's debate about the dress being blue or white when ... it is clearly and realistically BLUE" -- doesn't actually add to the discussion. Hey, it's great that the foreground leaf looks realistic to you. But your personal perception is not
relevant to why others perceived it as an artifact.

The opposite; case insensitivity is what human brains do, we read word WORD Word and woRD as the same thing, it's computer case-sensitive matching which is "brainless".

The pandemic kind of pushed my consumption into overdrive, so the goal next year is to put a severe damper on that. For food I'm going to try to eat half as much as I've been doing, unless it's primarily fruits and veggies (like a salad with some fruit on the side). Would reduce the number of calories I eat, decrease how much I spend, how much time I need to spend cooking or picking food up, etc.

Should also give me more time as I will try to avoid media that triggers my buying impulses, like a big one for me is board games, so no time spent buying new games, little time spent watching media about new games (games I already own is fine), etc, which should give me some time back, and maybe I can play all these new games I'm playing more than once or twice before letting them sit on a shelf untouched while I buy the next one.

I'm also going to try to do some form of exercise every day, as I need to get that back on track again.

Other than that, I'm going to try to get myself into a financial position where I can take at least six months off work to shed some old burnout technical debt and to try to knock out one or two projects I've been making very slow progress on the past few years.

Not sure if having a kid is in the cards for us this year again. Both of us are trying to juggle too many things as it is.

I'm already 17 years older than my parents were when they had me, which is just wild to think about, as I was already in high school comparatively.

See my top level post, but I’ve been through it. A couple of quick answers.

It’s hard to understand how overwhelming it is to suddenly loose every single material possession. And you’re spot on. Dealing with all the paperwork and agencies like FIMA and insurance companies. If you have the ability to help someone out in these areas it could be really helpful. Unfortunately it’s hard, and most of the “dealing” has to be done by the victims.

So, the point of the article is what can you do so help in the immediate where you have people you know suddenly have to replace literally everything. The spatulas and boxes may seem silly, but when you’re dealing with so many things at one time, even small stuff taken off your plate is helpful. For example, the first night I finally went to go to bed and hadn’t even thought to pick up a toothbrush and I was too overwhelmed to deal with it and actually broke down in tears!

Prevention tips? Well for the Oakland firestorm or the Colorado fires there’s not much to prevent. All I can say is do an inventory of your home and determine what you’d really miss if it were gone. Put those things close together so you can grab them in a minute. Or make sure you have copies. Cloud photo storage definitely makes a big difference. If you have old photos, make digital copies.

Oh well for this specific scheme, an MPC, it offers less flexibility. What if I want to remove one of my friends from my trusted guardians? What if I want to swap one out?

You can also design other schemes, like a time-lock one that says if none of the guardians are reachable (say they all lost their keys too, bad luck), you can recover it with some other secret key as long as none of the guardians reject it in 90 days, or something like that.

There are groups trying MPCs for this, but I think smart contract wallets will be far superior in user experience in the long run. You can even put in like bank-level protections, completely decentralized. For example, you could impose a daily spending limit, so even if you were compromised, you didn't lose everything and had time to lock the wallet. You could also restrict transactions to a set of whitelisted contracts, a list possibly maintained by a DAO. The possibilities are endless, it's turing complete code!
No, I don't quite agree. All compressors have a model, at least the general purpose ones. If you're writing self-extracting compression for your 8-bit demo, maybe you only care about the data you have right in front of you... But for anything general purpose, from DEFLATE to paq, there's an implicit, fixed model of future data in there (even if we sometimes prefer to see it as an "adaptive" model).

A good illustration of this is that you can quite easily use a general purpose compression algorithm for classification, and get surprisingly good performance.
That's not what the article says. It says that Nintendo tried to pivot away from the playing card business into several other businesses, each of which ended up failing except for electronic toys/video games.

Given that Nintendo no longer operates a taxi service, love hotels, or sell instant rice, I would say the article is correct about that statement.
I don't think that is true. Scraping Facebook and the like has already been litigated several times. I can't find the outcome of those cases, but jail is definitely not a possibility.
