Nuclear gaslighting.
If the reactors are on, destroying any of the infrasture around it can be devastating. The reactors need external power to operate. If external power disappears, the reactors now need emergency power from diesel gen sets. If those fail due to any reason, the reactors will probably melt down - unless they have already been off for quite a while (~weeks would be necessary). If the reactors melt down, the VVER has both a core catcher and a containment. That's not bad and much better situation than Chernobyl. But other things may go wrong such as a pressure failure and potentially related control rod ejections that could cause the temperatures to rise and pressures to become higher than what the containment can handle.

The surrounding war environment, the stressed operators, etc mean that any of these failures are now more likely. It is reaonsable that external power will not be available, it is possible the gen sets will fail, it is possible the operators will do something stupid.

To put it simply, warfare is not a design basis accident for current light water reactors like VVER-800.
First evidence of long-term directionality in the origination of human mutation
Today a bunch of drones would be sufficient I guess?
Ummm, yes. There’s Shpilkin’s famous research (dont know if available in English) suggesting that about 30% of latest Duma election ballots were fake.

And what people also don’t understand is that they falsify on all levels. First, they persecute their opponents and deny them access to media. If they think an opponent has a chance and isn’t sufficiently toothless, they just don’t register them. Then they cast fake ballots during actual voting. There are reports of fraud during counting: police is known to remove independent observers from the room. If the results at this point are not satisfactory enough, they rewrite the numbers in counting protocols. And even if that’s not sufficient (like in Lukashenko’s case), they can just declare any result they want and beat/jail anyone who disagrees.

I think western commentators on Russian elections/popular opinions just can’t wrap their heads around how corrupt the system is.

Most people in Russia aren’t pro-Putin. They’re indifferent, don’t think about these things much and mind their own business.
It would be much easier if crypto could just die out.
Only some Russian banks have been cut off from SWIFT, not all, and their currency has only dropped 30% or so, which is far from being “worth nothing”.

Yes, Russia’s economy is being severely crippled. But you exaggerate the extent significantly.
Please go through this excellent post by Y Combinator -

https://www.ycombinator.com/library/5x-how-to-split-equity-a...

It should be equal split.

An idea's worth is zero, it is the execution that matters.

Other way to look at it is if they are offering you 15% and keep 85% for them, without an mvp or revenue how are they justifying having 5.6 times more equity than you.

The only possible justification is the few thousand dollars that they have put in, you can either match that or maybe take slightly less equity to offset that amount based on the expected valuation.

But please do not settle for less than equal split, because you will be putting the same amount of effort in the execution of the idea.

> There is no better metric of human progress than energy usage.

True, but when energy is used to manufacture products or services.
When you turn energy into money there's no progress involved and no new jobs are created. The only linked activities which would benefit would be energy creation and the manufacture of mining hardware. Everything else will suffer when more and more money will be diverted to buy more energy (whose prices will of course be dictated by the highest bidder) and more mining farms.
Of course I expect people with vested interests in cryptocurrencies to not care at all.

Wikipedia is contradictory.

The intercept is Russian propaganda.

The fact that the US Congress at one point labeled Azov a white supremacist group is contradictory?

Oliver Stone's 2017 doc "Ukraine on Fire" [1], painstakingly documenting Azov's Nazi roots and it's glorification of Nazis who led massacres of Jews and Poles in WW2 is also propaganda?

The fact that Stephen Bandera, one of those Nazis and perpetrators of the Holocaust in Ukraine is considered a hero by Azov and is revered and honored by the UKRAINIAN state is also Russian propaganda.

The evidence and facts are overwhelming that Nazism is now embedded into the fabric of a modern state. I myself ignored this for a long time and that makes me sick.

3. To actually help gamers and other legitimate users of GPUs
The way we played it, you had to put at least one card down on your turn. So, if you didn’t have any of that card, you had to bluff. You could put as many cards down as you wanted. You had to state how many cards you were adding to the stack.

It was funny when someone got called on their bluff, picked up the stack and looked at it, and then announced incredulously that everyone before them had been lying too.
Apparently, "integrated deterrence" is a DoD concept for integrating all (or much) of the executive branch in objectives - sanctions, information operations, etc. Perhaps that's what we saw in regard to Russia and Ukraine.

Thankfully that prediction can be verified easily before we jump to solutions such as burying underwater power cables.

Which is great, as such a falsifiable prediction is a welcome part of a scientific paper.
Nvidia as a hardware manufacturer has long lead times and low flexibility. As a result they prefer predictable and dependable sales, not random boom and bust cycles. The gaming market is dependable, mining isn't.

They don't mind selling some GPUs to miners, of course. But mining is disrupting the supply of GPUs to the gaming market which could hurt future growth of the gaming market in general as well as Nvidia's share of it. And Nvidia is a company that has no qualms about artificially segmenting markets to apply price discrimination or otherwise manipulating customers as much as they can get away with. So they are trying to separate the markets for gaming and mining by any means they can think of.
That is true, bombing targets in a NATO country wouldn't work. On the other hand Russia could probably try to completely seal that border. It's not easy to do and will take years, but can be done.

I looked into this, and found this blog post [1]. The comments are quite interesting, but the main post points out this isn't much different from English. In English we use synonyms for truth/true (e.g. authentic, factual, legitimate, etc) and lie (e.g. fabrication, falsehood, misrepresentation, disinformation) with different meanings too.

Maybe we shouldn't use vocabulary of a language to draw/imply further conclusions about a culture.

Money has diminishing returns. Paying to gain a small chance of winning big is generally foolish; paying to eliminate a small chance of losing big is often wise.

This seems to be a distinctly American quirk. Maybe figure out what you're doing differently to the rest of us that causes that, rather than attacking an institution that works very well elsewhere.

Operators of nuclear plant are civilians. They are not part of force. Civilians can be captured, they cannot surrender, because nobody asks them to do that. I never heard that police or army asks somebody unarmed to surrender.
Not at all. But if you assume 0 malevolence from any party, there is no need for security in the first place, is there? Security models commonly explicitly assume the possibility of malicious actors.

For two well-known examples, Bitcoin PoW assumes the possibility that a malicious actor can spin up arbitrary amounts of malicious nodes. TLS assumes that the intermediary nodes in underlying network (e.g. ISPs) can be malicious. The assertions still hold.

I found a good balance by starting with a preschool that had a proper teacher but also parent involvement as part of the curriculum. In public elementary I volunteered whenever I could (field trips and occasional classroom assistance) as well as after-school activities. By late middle school and high school I could step back and volunteered in support roles that didn't involve much student interaction but still supported his interests (PTA, Band Booster Leadership).

Obviously, every kid has different needs and every parent has limits on how much they can be present during school hours but putting kids in traditional public school doesn't have to be a passive experience of surrender to the state.

Asciidoc and Asciidoctor can produce DocBook, and from DocBook you can do most formats.

Working with the DocBook toolchain is rather unpleasant and brittle (depends a lot on the versions), so my company ended up packaging everything in a Docker container https://github.com/l3nz/dockbooker - this has worked pretty well for many years but now we mostly use Asciidoctor by itself.

Wow. I can’t "see" anything in my head. I think I have aphantasia (though I’m not really sure, I can see flashs of things but not keep them).

So I totally have to write the code to reason about it. I didn’t knew people could imagine portions of code so it explains some things. I’m not sure it bothers me or even if that’s abnormal because it’s always been like that so I can manage that. But it’s tiring.

But it also forced me to learn to be concise and to express the fullness of my thoughts through langage (or code). Which is really useful in this job.

Also, I have ADHD which I know from my psychiatrist affects short term memory. I wonder if "picturing" things happens in the same brain région than short term memory. It would explain a lot of things. Maybe I’m just some individual with broken RAM and I had to compensate with "overclocking" my CPU of thoughts. </personal-theory>

It's not a supply issue.

By design, proof of work requires even more resources as more resources are spent on it. One might say that it expands to consume all available supply.

Because of that, no matter how many cards Nvidia makes, crypto miners will want them all, as long as there is money to be made in crypto.
> Honest question: why?

Because the existing union of news workers demanded that software engineers be included in their membership as part of some negotiation at some point.

Basically, it was a way for the union to grow its membership (and dues). It was impossible to opt out of the union and you had to pay dues, I forget how much but I think it was like 2% of your salary or something to the union.

Given the option I'm pretty sure most of us would have opted out of the union. I did know a few very senior software engineers who were nominally made managers so they could get out of the forced membership.
Yeah, let's piss away a bunch of energy for no good reason and then say we're a more advanced society because of it!
I would imagine that ownership of Nvidia's drivers would be more clear cut than most open source projects. Wouldn't it only be Nvidia's employees and contractors that have worked on the driver code? Then by default Nvidia would own the rights.

If Nvidia doesn't own the code, do you then imagine they're in a sort of licensing agreement with the rightsholders that allows them to distribute the binary blobs but not the code?

I don't understand what situation would lead a corporate-sponsored closed source project such as Nvidia's drivers to be in a position of complicated ownership.

"how do you build that confidence without falling off?"

The answer is that you do fall. Actually, you fall on the exact route you're going to free solo usually! The normal way of climbing (as opposed to "free soloing"), is with ropes. You have places on the rock where you can anchor ropes, you have someone belaying you, and at any point, if you fall, it's really not a big deal. Climbing ropes are dynamic (have a lot of stretch), so falling on them is really safe feeling. It doesn't hurt at all, it's fine to fall over and over again, and the equipment used is relatively safe. It makes it so you're able to get a really good feel for your own limits on routes, which obviously helps in figuring out if you can free solo it.

So, how do you build up enough confidence to free solo? You climb the route with ropes for months. You make sure you can go up the route without ever needing the ropes reliably. You steel yourself. And then you do it.

When is it safe to try for real? Depends on your risk tolerance and confidence. For most people, it's never safe enough to be worth the adrenaline.

> One wrong move and you die.

Not to be glib and dismissive, but one wrong move driving 70 on a highway and you die too.

There's a ton of ways to die, and we accept some as very normalized, and others as not. They mostly align with danger (free soloing is really dangerous, driving somewhat dangerous), but there's some things we do so much we forget they're actually dangerous. Driving doesn't seem dangerous to most people that drive. Climbing with ropes starts to not feel dangerous really quickly. Free soloing? If you do it enough, it starts to feel not that dangerous, especially on a route that feels "easy" for your current climbing level.
> You realise crypto is more stable then most developing worlds governments?

It's not.
