I think the problems with nuclear are fairly artificial:

- Very hard regulations

- Each nuclear power plant was so good, that there wasn't enough economic pressure to stop special-snowflaking them, simply because they were built only one at a time.

It's a lot like NASA rockets getting more and more expensive, because no one wants to crank out single-use rockets. Reusable rockets is the analog to smaller nuclear reactors, which allows one to refine the production process through repetition without loosing tons of money.

To be fair, I do expect storage and solar panels to get cheaper and cheaper too. But the energy density challenges for storage are still really hard! With "electrify everything", we will need a hell of a lot of electricity. Solar and storage feels like energy austerity regardless of the price because the shear physical challenges of what's needed.

And then there are the grid coordination issues. America seems too decrepit to run such a fancy grid, I do not trust it to pull that off at scale without a huge culture shift. Decentralization here is more problems, not fewer.

Simply put, I am bullish on everything getting cheaper but am bearish on solar and storage getting better. Nuclear is already good enough! Just need to get rid of the price bullshitary.
My youngest daughter has the original iPhone SE which is the same form factor as the iPhone 5 but runs the latest iOS. This is perfect for her since she's only 11 and this is the only phone that can fit into her pockets. Some of her friends have comically large Android phones!
Whether it was influential or merely representative of a Eurasianist Russian Idea, the book has been prescient as a guideline for over 23 years. I wouldn’t expect it to be directly held contemporary doctrine. After all, the world is a bit different than it was back then.

This does not rely on any current influence by Dugin, who did not write the book entirely on his own.
I'm glad they're making a new one - not so I can buy one, but so that the previous gen will be cheaper now. This next 'generation' is perhaps the smallest upgrade ever done in the iPhone line. At first I thought that was the 12 to the 13, but again Apple has outdone themselves.

Once it was clear that Google was totally done releasing phones that fit in my pocket, I upgraded my Pixel 3 to a 13 mini. It's an amazing phone. Not as small as the OG SE, but I'm not sure I'd want it any smaller.
I thought military are not citizens anymore. Maybe the judge is seeing this as a unique case that's never happened before.

The religious exemption is suspect also. Kind of hard to obey "Thou shall not kill" if you are in the military.
>In this case, "directly".

How else is someone supposed to interpret "That has to happen. The government cannot deficit spend for free. The cost is inflation" and "It is a law of nature."? Now it's not direct, but happens through the ether. I can also argue inflation happens whenever my dog sees his shadow.

We've gone from "It's a law of nature" to "only when the government does deficit spending" to "only when the loans aren't paid back" to "it's not direct".

>What changed in 1914? The switch to a fiat money system, which enables endless deficit spending.

What's the argument here? That the Unites States should revert to producing cotton? That the United States should return to having a smaller economy than 1920's India? The amount of economic change between 1914 and now; as well as the intentional effects of inflation on US investment absolutely dwarfs any comparison you are trying to make. Zero net inflation is not a desirable thing on it's own. This is a luddite argument; in lieu of actually providing evidence that hyperinflation is a direct consequence of deficit spending, you've simply argued we should to return to living like cavemen. It's like seeing a car crash and pointing to the invention of the Model T as the downfall of modern society.

If the economic laws are so clear cut as you claim there shouldn't be ambiguity; and yet here we are as you struggle to even clearly explain why the "laws of nature" were so clearly upended in 2008.

A 150 USD RO/DI filter can remove all of this stuff. Black, white, poka dot. Buy one and run your drinking water through it. Also comes in handy when the water goes out. You can turn off from the mains and have clean water. Also pure enough to use in your radiator or water your venus fly trap! Highly recommend.
Graphics cards that can output 5K60 over a single DisplayPort cable out of the box have been available since mid 2016. If anything, availability of HiDPI PC monitors has gone down since then.
You're taking a very individualist stance on the issue - nobody reasonable thinks you should literally give your money to oppressed people to assuage privilege guilt. Hell, you shouldn't feel guilt at all for privilege; it's just something you're meant to be aware of when looking at things outside your frame of reference.

All anybody wants is for you to support the movement for their rights in whatever ways you feel willing to. Often times the "I don't see colour" people are just sticking their heads in the sand about ongoing racial issues, and won't do anything to help combat racism (even voting, the literal smallest political action you can take) because they believe that it's good enough that they personally don't mistreat people for their race. Sometimes these types of people will actively oppose progressive movements in the style of "I'm against racism but affirmative action/BLM protests/Black girls code is political correctness gone mad" stances.

What people are generally asking for is for you to argue their case if it comes up with friends, vote for politicians that want to rectify institutional problems, and even join in protests or rallies or voice your support publicly if you're willing to do so.
It's incredible the tolerance for antisocial behavior these days. There are people who will still burn trash amidst the worst consequences of climate change because "only myself matters" attitudes. They want to enjoy the fruits of society without social responsibility.
You can already be unlocking it as you pull it out of your pocket! So much better.
Mistakes in the past don't justify mistakes in the present.
Is this different from the conventional, orthodox view?

I feel like I've seen experts say that yes, the fields are real, and particles are approximate descriptions.

But if it means anything, it's math.
No. "Particle" and "wave" are analogies. They're not even wrong, because they're not descriptions of what actually happens.

The real problem is we don't have an analogy for what actually happens, because - by everyday expectations - the traditional interpretations are beyond weird. And the more recent interpretations are even weirder than that.

It's likely - after Bell - that there's something non-local happening. And after this paper it's likely that whatever it is may not even be compatible with a stable identity for the observer.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s42005-021-00589-1

Which seems to be arguing that instead of many worlds, there are many observers - not just simultaneously, but sequentially.

In other words, it's our belief in a consistent self with stable memories that may be wrong.
Eh, not so much today. M1, Alder Lake, and Zen 3 are all pretty close in single core performance. Of course M1 easily wins in power efficiency.

Yeah, the fake audio clips had way too many telltale signs of a fake to be plausible. One of the Trump ones sounded like an SNL skit attempting his accent.
I believed that until I realized I couldn't individually upgrade my CPU or RAM because I have a mobo with LGA1150 socket and only supports DDR3 (and it's only 6 years old).

So eventually you still have to "replace everything" to upgrade a PC.
Surely the military forces you to carry identification papers and present such ID in many circumstances. That seems obvious from an OPsec perspective. My father served in the forces and would also readily rattle off their social security number (another 'mark of the beast') to any government official. It's just what they do in the forces.
>Yeah, once you realize the most profitable Google search terms are already the top organic result paying to be on top

What if you aren't the top organic search and you want to drive traffic. For example "mesothelioma lawyer" is a very profitable keyword that'd you would want to show up on top. If there weren't any ads you would need to out SEO other law firms and hope Google doesn't screw you by adjusting the ranking algorithm.
How to defend when patent office gave SMB monopoly for your work?
I have to assume at some point you simply hit the limit of how many pixels it can push out. Remember, you're talking about running FOUR displays at a resolution that was unheard of on the desktop two years ago AND another display at 4k simply as a "bonus".
How's Google pay for Americans working abroad? If you're a US-based Googler going to an office like this one, does your salary fall to 1/3?
With that it's a bit over 1 sec. But timing is a bit odd, because it seems it has some delay between screen turning on automatically when picking up the phone and this gesture working. First swipe does nothing, second just moves the screen and bounces back without getting to the camera, third one works.

Now i feel like i could participate in some millennial version of a wild west quick draw shoot out :)
I didn’t downvote but one glaring issue is that you’re well of the mark here:

> Allowing Crimea but not California, or allowing Kosovo but not Mexico and allowing Slovakia and not Catalonia

Slovakia had a popular recognised referendum and decided to vote for the velvet divorce

Catalonia had an informal referendum that was not legally recognised, but afaik there is still technically a path to do so.

Kosovo - I do not know a great deal about Kosovo.

California can secede and there doesn’t seem to be a huge interest in doing so.

Mexico … idk where you’re going with this one.

But importantly in Crimea the Russian “little green men” showed up, took over, hastily ran a referendum that was very dubious and happened to just coincidentally deliver the result that said exactly what the Russians wanted. It was a fix.

I think you know this though, and that you’re engaging in what’s known as “sealioning” :-)
I could see this happening as the processes mature. The Air Force already has hardened repositories for containers etc and "Factory in a Box" type configurations that the Defense Industry is supposed to start adopting for new programs. It is really neat, though it's so low-level at this point that it won't make sense for small businesses to use it unless their underlying platforms like Shopify, Instagram, and Blogger do.

> the iPhone mini is the same size as a 6.

The mini is smaller than the 6. Size-wise the mini is midway between the 5 and the 6. The 6 is too large for me for one-handed use, whereas the mini is (barely) okay.
Are you calling Gwen a hypocrite?
If everyone get the way GP did, the issues would cease to exist. Not only is it at WORST neutral, it’s exactly what everyone SHOULD be doing.

I'm looking at both their save for web dialogs presently and I can assure you that it doesn't.
The labor to install mine was $450. Granted I'm in the Southeast of the U.S. so YMMV, but that is not universally true and shouldn't be stated as such.
yup, the correct answer here is people need to stop being worried about the thermals as a metric in themselves, and look at the performance their chip is generating. If your chip is running at 90C, but you're hitting 100 ScoreMarks, and attaching a 5hp chiller to it lets you hit 105 ScoreMarks, that's not really worth it.

Yeah, longevity, blah blah, but laptop chips are designed to sit above 90C under load, it's fine.

Just saying that "how hard it is to cool" doesn't solely depend on power consumption anymore. Heat density is making that harder and harder, even if power consumption stays the same.

What does improve though is how much heat it pumps into your room. Yeah, a Rocket Lake at 200W might be roughly as hard to cool as an AMD at 90W or whatever... but one is still putting 200W into your room and the other is still putting 90W. Temperatures are not the same thing as power dissipation either. I don't like having my gaming PC running in my room during the summer, and I'm actually looking at maybe running cables through the walls to have it in the basement instead. I also have a 5700G and some NUCs that are much lower power that I prefer to use for surfing and shitposting.
Either he's so disorganized that he can't provide that info, or he feels he's not accountable to the people he's accepted money from. Either way, if I'd known that up front, I would not have loaned him the money (because that's what an order of a product with a multi-year lead time is, really - a loan)
From the article:

> some of the filings will fly up against gravity to the bar, against the force of gravity. It takes energy to lift these filings. Where does that energy come from?

In this example the energy comes from whatever is holding the bar magnet itself up against gravity. If it's not doing any work (ie. it's not adding energy; say it's a rope or a spring) then it's not just the filings that move: the bar magnet and the filings move towards each other (with the filings moving the bulk of the distance) and the end result is that some of the gravitational energy in the bar magnet is transferred to the filings.

I think this only seems like a tricky question with an informal idea of what "energy" is. It doesn't have the same interpretation problem as what the linked article is about.
The issue is the court order prevents that. This is the whole problem; that the office cannot be dishonorably discharged for disobeying a lawful order (get this preventative medical care, just like the other 500 vaccines they give everyone).
I don’t think the performance is that bad. On a whim I tried running WoW on a 16” M1 Pro MBP and it consistently got FPS higher than the refresh rate (120hz) with the game rendering at 1x scale and most effects maxed out. Granted, that’s not as good as what you’d get with a mobile RTX 3080 or something, but it’s nothing to sneeze at for a laptop that doesn’t get scorching hot and doesn’t sound like a leaf blower when being pushed.

I could definitely see the Max and Ultra with a beefier cooling system (like the Studio’s) having pretty respectable performance.
Epic doesn’t do lootboxes, next.
>fracking to extract much of the oil in the United States, as opposed to less destructive techniques that can be used in other oil fields

Is fracking really worse overall? One can screw up non-fracking oil methods too, e.g. Nigerian oil delta, BP oil spill, etc.
It’s not silly at all. I’m not talking about Flash competing with Unity, Unreal, and every other web app. I’m saying there is a desperate need for something that just does what Flash did circa 2007. HTML5 was meant to do that (that was the promise) and still it doesn’t. The old Flash guys aren’t harping on about it just because of nostalgia, but because it has become much more difficult and expensive to produce the kinds of content that Flash excelled at in 2007.

Impressive numbers. If you can't load the page, it scores 1793 single core / 24055 multi-core

For perspective, AMD's top consumer part is a 5950X, which scores 1686 single-core / 16565 multi-core (reference https://browser.geekbench.com/processors/amd-ryzen-9-5950x).

However, the 5950X really is a consumer CPU and can be purchased for $600 right now, so you could build 2-3 5950X PCs for the price of a single M1 Ultra Mac Studio.

A better comparison would be the Zen 3 based Threadripper Pro parts that were announced today: https://www.anandtech.com/show/17296/amd-announces-ryzen-thr...

There is supposedly a leaked AMD 5975WX (32-core Zen 3) score on Geekbench from a few months ago. It performs very similarly to the M1 Ultra: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/10531340?baseli...

The M1 Ultra is an impressive part, but the $4K price of entry is steep. On the other hand, if you need a Mac for Mac software then none of this matters and you're going to buy whatever Apple offers, so it's great to have something like this available.
Can you open that page, hit F12 and look for the trackers, analytic scripts etc?

>Because in general, those conversations are about important things that affect your life.

I believe it’s very important to be able to calmly and genially argue points which are important to you. There may not be any value in merely being able to argue calmly and politely for points in which you have no interest.
I found the person pretty easily and it looks like their original sentence was a few months in a local jail and a few years of probation, and the only record that still exists is the sex offender registry in a different state.

This is a country where people are sentenced to 1,200+ years in prison for downloading illegal pictures - I am skeptical this person did anything particularly reprehensible given the light sentence.

To quote a more sane registry: "the majority of RSOs do not present a high risk of serious sexual harm and their sexual re-offending rate is extremely low – significantly lower in comparison to other types of offenders."

disclaimer: I don't know or care about anybody involved
You're totally right, but I think there's also something to said for setting new precedent. Status quo rarely changes without disruption.
All in all, it’s not anyone’s place to play religious scholar with anyone else’s belief system or to demand hard proof either. Personally, I haven’t found a sect that really matches with my reading and understanding of scripture. So how do you validate that?

As for the second, no one said the “mark” has to be a literal mark. Many sects of many religions view large parts of scripture as allegorical or good general teachings for a coherent (if not imperfect, particularly based on modern secular norms) society.

No to be overly accusatory, but this all reminds me a bit of a young, agnostic me. The “well what about turning the other cheek” type of gotcha comment that ignores scripture that provides deeper context or contextual “contradiction.”

We live in a large and diverse world, and religion is ultimately a human system. We’re just never going to be able to nail it down to an instruction set as we may desire to do.
With respect to Cuba, they don't have a space program.
It will take a modern day Copernicus

We might already have a modern day Copernicus. Could be string theory, could be something else. The problem is that we don't really have any experimental data that can't be explained by the Standard Model. What we really need is a modern day Galileo that can perform some sort of observations, like finding Jupiter's moons, that don't fit in with the existing conventional physics.
I agree, I got a 8GB mac mini (was really just curious to see the M1 in action and the 16GB model was backordered badly) and it performs extremely well memory wise. I often use 12GB+ and I never notice unless I check activity monitor.
Games seem playable running through Microsoft’s inferior x86 compatibility layer in a Windows ARM VM on M1 Pro/Max, so I don’t see how running games through Rosetta would be any worse.
I've seen various theories about their failures on the ground, but apparently they still haven't established air superiority over any significant fraction of Ukraine, which is incredible to me.

I have little doubt that they'll eventually defeat Ukraine's military forces if that's the goal, but a serious world power should have run them over in a matter of days.
Does anything think Wolfram Theory is going to end up being the right approach to go deeper down the rabbit hole? Personally I think the theory is really interesting and intuitively feels like the universe at some core level may work as the theory suggests. But I’m not sure if many people are considering the theory to have serious promise in the long term.
I suspect storage is one of their high margin profit knobs.

They do a great job of pricing it just a little bit more than their target market would prefer to pay, but they grin and bear it, especially if it is not upgradable later.

I sprung for the 2TB M1 Max...damn did I resent the premium I had to pay for 2TB, but I paid it in the end.
Since you're a web developer, I wonder if something like Electron or one if its variants would be good (but maybe overkill).

I've used HTA HTML Applications[0] to make small utilities. They're also web-based but apparently only compatible with Internet Explorer and I don't know if there's a future in it, though Microsoft tends to keep old technologies around for backwards compatibility. But if you are already know how to support Internet Explorer today, it might not be much of a stretch. There might be other products similar to this.

It's because we live in a corporate marketing curated hellscape of "rugged individual" libertarian consumerist zombies who have zero community awareness or empathy, drooling their way through their own exploitation while screeching about freedom.

The branded keyword game is very sneaky, though, and one place where google can (and does) make a killing.

The trick is, if you have a particularly strong or unique brand, you can count on being the number one organic result. HOWEVER, if competitors bid on your brand and you do not, they end up above your brand in results as part of the the paid/promoted position.

This usually forces brands into competing in paid positions on branded keywords that they should "win" naturally. Google rationalizes this by charging more relevant results a lower rate, but it still doesn't excuse the fact that the brand shouldn't have had to pay in the first place.
Is SPEC or Geekbench more relevant for this type of device?
We do not understand protein folding. I'm an expert in this field with publications and what you just said makes no sense at all.

The simplified protein folding problem states that proteins fold to their energy minimum, and a succesful heuristic can find the "correct" fold by finding the structure argmin(energy). Although this is a real simplification that doesn't represent actual proteins, even that is not something you'd solve with matrices; combinatorial math.

More importantly, "protein folding" is the biophysical process that proteins experience; what DeepMind did was solve "structure prediction", which is another simpler problem, and they didn't do it by energy minimization, they did it by exploiting sequence similarity to provide structural constraints that massively reduced the search space.
