Solar recycling is still rudimentary because the vast majority of PV modules that have ever been produced are still in use. The doubling time of the exponential growth of solar has been much less than the lifespan of PV modules.

The shorter lifespan of PV is actually a good thing for solar. In an environment where technology is changing rapidly, long lifespan has little value. Would you think it's a huge negative if your PC fails after 20 years instead of 40? No, because you replace it before then anyway. Pretending that nuclear is better because its value is computed based on a 40 year lifespan is just pretending that its competitors will stop improving (otherwise, the nuclear plant won't even make it to 40 years due to operating costs > full cost of renewables.)

Prof. Abelson wanted to hammer home the point porn was a problem on the internet back in 1998 and thought putting up a porn site for the first slide of a lecture would make his point.

It was pretty shocking when it happened.
Those were excellent Vws, I worked at a VW dealership around that time and loved driving them. Personally my 2000 Jetta is still going strong, if you're able to afford the maintenance I'm pretty sure you could get many more years out of it (at least until the rings wear out).

I'm in the same boat, I've got lovely heated leather seats, nice strong engine, good handling, and a traction control that doesn't piss me off in winter. That's all I need and as "cool" as Tesla's are, I don't expect it'll be nearly as usable after 22 years as my Jetta is. Even VW has now gone down the dark side of EVs, when all I want is an electric 2000 Jetta. It's sad how wasteful these new EVs are.
Interview with Dune Concept Designer
IUPAC has nothing to do with it--aspartame is a trivial name. It's no mess, either--chemists know that 1M sulfuric acid does not contain any H2SO4, even though H2SO4 is sulfuric acid.
The skeletal and ball-and-stick structures differ precisely because they weren't created from the same source--the author of the ball-and-stick structure cites a crystallography paper as their source, and solid crystals consist of zwitter ions.
> No, CHAdeMO 2.0 had no roadmap to 500 kW whereas CCS has for a long time.

We're talking about decisions made in 2013-14! And it topped out at 400 kW, a power that no one is delivering on a public charger yet anyway. Just stop. Tesla was the clearly superior technology at the time. CHAdeMO wasn't as good but was still much better than CCS, which everyone else picked anyway because they wanted to retard the BEV market.

CCS is, as I said upthread, just a terrible, terrible standard. By design.
I'd say avoid the term "self sufficient" because thats a lot of work and a low standard of living; I suggest you want to discuss "lowered dependence" and "buffered from supply shocks."

In the suburbs and cities you may not be legally allowed to do things like drill a well, or have your own sewage treatment, nor things like gardening or raising livestock. If you're lucky in that respect or willing to flout the law you still have the neighbors to deal with, not just "will they turn me in" but how different can you be before they turn on you? especially when they're feeling social stressors that you aren't?

If you want to do this for real, get rural.

On the other hand, small gardening and having as much nature as you can in a city is viable and fine and lovely; its just not going to be a winner in terms of feeding you or isolating you from the corner vegetable stand's supply issues. Nothing wrong with container grown salads and pride in them; but you're not shifting much of your food bill tot hat and the time investment will make the economics suck. You have to add in the personal joy of tending the garden to make it pay.

Rural life is the same but with much more "how does this make sense?" that can't be answered without intangibles on the accounting sheet.
Adding to the purely scientific argument against mandates (well covered in this article), there are also civil rights concerns which remain deeply important and under-appreciated.

Most civil liberties experts have been very consistently against vaccine mandates, on the basis that they are divisive, dangerous, and quite likely to be counter-productive.

Exceptions, such as the ACLU's recent pro-mandate stance, are based entirely on the scientism which this article takes down so well.

>Germany did not return to coal.

Germany's buying cheap energy from coal burning Poland so it might as well have.

Call it outsourcing of coal burning if that makes it easier to take in.
It is very simple, nuclear has been a failure in Europe in the last couple of decades. Look at projects in the Finland, France and the UK. The situation would have been much better if there was a nuclear industry that could deliver in time and within budget.

A country like France with a massive amount of aging nuclear power plants is in serious trouble replacing them in time.

Fortunately, wind and solar are doing very well in reducing CO2 emissions. In the coming one or two decades, wind and solar can easily outpace nuclear in reducing CO2 emissions.
Subsistence farming. Yeah. Not a smart plan. Truth is independence is impossible. Most subsistence farmers around the world are very poor. Chances are you are doing better so congrats.

There has never been any plan for ITER to produce electricity. Instead, all powered produced is going to be vented into the atmosphere.

The scientific work that is planned to be done at ITER has the possibility of proving that nuclear fusion may be a viable path for electrical generation. But it will never serve as a commercial basis for the generation of electricity. Accomplishing nuclear fusion is actually relatively easy. What it hopes to prove is that controlled nuclear fusion can serve as a net producer of energy. A complete success of the ITER project in no way implies that nuclear energy is commercially viable. From a scientific standpoint it is amazing work. From an energy generation standpoint, it's a card trick.

The follow on "DEMO" project will attempt to establish commercial viability of nuclear fusion for electrical generation would commence operation no earlier than 2050.

If clean energy is something we need now, then nuclear fusion is not a viable solution.
Maybe we should try to hype it as a possible place to store those NFT JPEGs and get some web3 money behind it.

Again, that's not about belief, that's about the reality that the student body is diverse, the school wants the student body to be diverse, and the classroom itself will accordingly be diverse. What specifically about the rubric is the most troubling to you?

By the way, as someone who hires faculty and reads many such statements (I have to ask, have you read any DEI statements? Do you have examples which you find especially troubling?), a discussion about how current efforts are dubiously effective would be welcome and would help your application at my institution. More often than not, what they are trying to do with these DEI statements is to weed-out applicants who have given no thought whatsoever to this part of the job. The most common failure here is to treat this job requirement as an afterthought and to focus 100% on the research portion. Someone who had genuine opinions about DEI education that run counter to the way things are done would be well received by the hiring committee at my institution.

There's certainly a class of enterprise salesperson that's done very well out of IT projects with buzzword-centric explanations the client thinks they should get "leveraging the synergies of AI-driven Big Data Cloud Blockchain" because they've heard the words in all the right reports and these are definitely cutting-edge, blue-sky thinking people. (Sure, there's a for dummies explanation that it's a database with some analysis tools buried in there, and they told the salesperson the business problem that needs a database, but the mumbo-jumbo is the pitch for why its a better way of solving a business problem than a regular database)
The Spotify boycott will likely be short-lived
It's not, really. You can actually see that both nuclear and coal have been replaced by wind and solar in Germany. The issue about Hambacher Forst is politics and political lobbies. The area is owned by RWE since the 1960s and the open pit mine next door exists for much longer than the decision to get out of nuclear. It's simply convenient to blame this on the "Atomaustieg" as part of a lobbying campaign.

It's also interesting that nobody was saying that the Atomaustieg was responsible for increased coal use in 2020. Because it's only last year that was an exceptional year, which saw a uptick in coal vs wind.

Problem is that there can be no trust since this statement is coming from a group that disinvited a lecturer on climate science because he opposed DEI initiatives https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2021/10/06/mit-controver.... Actions speak louder than words.

Purging and rebuilding the entire administrative apparatus of the US university system is actually a great idea, and for more reasons than just freedom of expression.
I was under the impression ITER was a research and development project, not intended to be commercially viable, but essentially prove the technology as working.
Startup project of applied machine learning platform
Hello everyone,
I'm the individual researcher of computer vision major in medical imaging as a five-year Python engineer and a two-year data engineer. I uploaded some educational videos of build machine learning pipelines and train models since last year, and some customers told me that they have no experience of engineering as they still want the customized model can work on their devices. Therefore, I have an idea about build a platform to help them apply the model on their devices built from their own datasets, and meanwhile, the tasks are commonly show up in terms of object detection(face recognition), voice classification, text translation,etc. As I have experience of engineering about server-side engines, data analysing and machine learning modelling, I would like to connect with a sort of engineers and colleagues not only focused but also whom brought ideas and thoughts are welcomed. Be aware, the project are intended as volunteering till now, but I promise we definitely will discuss the salary once we have got any of long-term supports, funding or subscribers.

The initial idea is :
It's an online services like the PaaS structure. We provide a web labelling system to support users do label their datasets online or upload their offline labelled data from kinds of tools like labelme on images, then we provide the defined pipeline to preprocess the labelled data, in terms of verification, augmentation and standardized. Once the data are prepared, we let users to choose which model they want to train and put it into the automatic and adapted training loop, initially we provide limited computation resources to the free users and more resource among more flexibility to subscribers later on. At last, the model can be exported as an app after quantized and optimized or a simple testing website which consists the similar template. The app can be decided by functions or user interfaces.

If someone interested in, please contact me. (no matter degrees, religions, areas, we prefer work remotely and flexible)

It's very easy to re-export ESM (import) as CJS (require) and vice-versa. The main issue is that ESM by default

For example to use `require` inside ESModules you would do:

```mjs
import { createRequire } from 'module';
const require = createRequire(import.meta.url);
require('./whatever-in-cjs');
```

There is a reason this isn't "by default" though since ESM doesn't "silently" interop with CJS to not make writing universal code harder.

Absolutely. Lying is always somewhat incentivized, but in most cases it doesn't work, because the candidate will be found out. If I interviewed at google, I could lie about my skills all I want, but I will be found out when asked to demonstrate them.

The DEI stuff really seems like as long as you say all the right words, you're fine. Which leads me to a scary thought - are we going to create some kind of "DEI social credit score" that employers can reference in the future?

> Civilization is not prepared for this era of cheap, easy disinformation at scale.

Yep, but that's the beauty of reality: It doesn't matter if we accept it or not. It doesn't matter if it's difficult or not. It doesn't matter if we are prepared to handle it. Reality remains inviolate regardless of what we think, want or like.

We, as a civilization, can either accept that as a fact, and increase our chances of making it to a level of evolution and capability where maybe one day we can build Dyson Spheres and travel to other Galaxies, or we can pretend that our opinion matters alot.

The universe and reality won't care.
That would be amazing. The only reason I'm not out buying vintage 60's cars is because I don't want to be in one if there's a crash. But the visibility from back then was great, they were basically greenhouses with wheels.
I remember when you first shared rich. It was so cool. It's been great watching your output increase so quickly Will. Thanks for all the hard work.

Does this support paging? I could see myself using this a lot for markdown files if it does.

And do you plan on supporting RST files?
I didn’t know even that was possible and thought that I had to use objc as it used to be. Nice
If only. For all the "moar strong types" goodness C++ claimed, in practice there was very little. The same could have been achieved with stricter warnings, that C compilers now have. With TypeScript at least you have the option to go from full dynamic typing auto cast madness to meaningful compile time checks.

That being said, if I had to write a serious web app today (that is, something that absolutely requires client-side scripting), I would consider using JavaScript as a compilation target only, alongside WebAssembly.

Add to that c++ is infectious, both in a code base, because once you add c++ you can't go back, and in dependency chains. A c++ library that depends on c libraries often only exports c++ interfaces so the things that would build on them must be c++. Where julia might call into a rust library with a fortran and zig dependency.

Funny enough, apps were supposed to be just for Apple. The original conception is that 3rd party tools, games, etc. for the iPhone would just be webapps. (https://9to5mac.com/2011/10/21/jobs-original-vision-for-the-..., etc.)

A few adjustments to the model and here we are with lots of native code and big money... but still, folks requesting updates to the the browser to support more app-ish functionality. I'm glad; the browser can do a lot and we kind of miss that in many mobile contexts.

I also think the elusive "run almost anywhere" is viable in many cases when the browser gets powerful enough. (Of course, I said that about the JVM years ago, so what do I know?)
Did all of your positive interviews result in rejections?

Some of mine did. That always hurt. But, I mean...

1. A lot of companies follow the "it's better to turn away 10 qualified hires than to make one bad hire" adage

2. Even when I know I'm 100% qualified and would be a good fit, that might be true for 10 other candidates as well so I expect a 90% rejection rate even when things go well.

3. Even when I know I'm 100% qualified and would be a good fit, some other candidate might have some specific domain knowledge (maybe it's fintech, and they've worked in fintech before and I haven't) and it might be a tiebreaker in their favor

4. Even when I know I'm 100% qualified and would be a good fit, some other candidate might have some specific tool/framework/language I don't. If I have experience with 50 tech buzzwords, and so does the other candidate, but 27 of mine overlap with the company's requirements and 29 of theirs do, then that might be a tiebreaker in their favor.

Anyway, being an entrepreneur is better anyway. I'm glad you found success. I miss running my own show. Every day.
From a first look it seems like the subscription requires to use that service in a EU-only fashion costs at least 200$. While this seems like a good option for large and medium size companies, I fear that this pricing leaves out all small companies that may not require 50k solved captchas a month but may require EU-based hosting nonetheless.
There's C++ code included – great! But no actual timings :(

I'd be curious to see a deeper discussion of practical run-times, in actual seconds, relative to other popular sorting algorithms. Especially if driven by a real task with well-motivated problem constraints. (As opposed to "1000 random integers!" micro-benchmarks, or "N goes to infinity" theoretical big-Ohs.)

I personally find practical benchmarks the most exciting. They also help me identify different niches for different algos (caching, locality, array sizes, parallelization…).

Yeah I think maybe I'll just come around to rust-analyzer? My experiences with language servers has been really spotty: they lose the state, eat CPU, want to autocomplete everything, etc. But idk, if it's a "this is the way" thing, I guess part of learning is adopting the customs.

The DEI aspect is "one of many considered", but the scoring rubric says that applicants who do not score above a cutoff on DEI issues will not be considered. It's in fact not scoring neutral "knowledge" of posited DEI issues but ideological belief in their relevance, and it scores "experience" in furthering DEI by matching the adherence of said 'experience' to an especially divisive and controversial approach, and demanding impact on teaching and research activities that ought to be protected from ideological bias per well-known academic norms of neutrality. The requirements are worded in a misleading manner that makes them appear like they're not demanding anything more than the status quo, but they absolutely are.
