If Australia were to refine the uranium for export you wouldn't need anything special in the ways of shipping other than good containment and careful handling. If you replaced all power generation with nuclear that alone would drastically reduce the amount of shipping necessary for oil, gas and coal to a point where you would hardly need to be concerned about it.

I think reconstruction time isn't about creating a new perspective but about the time that it takes to train the whole model given the images (taken from various viewpoints). As I understand it this took quite a while to train in the original nerf paper but here they seem to have reduced it quite a lot.

I always liked the story of how Gabe Newell decided to quit Microsoft and establish Valve.

The story goes that Newell was doing analytics for Microsoft by running software that scanned and reported what people had installed on their PCs -- this was back in the Windows 3.x days when Microsoft sought consent from the user before doing this kind of thing. Microsoft wanted to know how many PCs had Windows running on them. Gabe's market research found that a great many PCs did have Windows -- Windows was the second most installed software on the PCs surveyed.

Number one was Doom.

After that, Gaben started thinking maybe gaming was a better play.
You missed the point where a program can take inputs over time. In your example, the program takes “step forward” and goes through the flows, eventually mutating state at the end, including redrawing the screen or prompting the user for their next input. The next input is based on the current state of the machine, and there can be as many or few valid state transitions as you, the programmer, would like to manage.
Awesome news. Maybe people can afford housing again?

Can you check your numbers. 170TW sounds on the low side, PW would be more like it.
If you have enough installed capacity that the production averaged over a year is sufficient, you can store excess energy as hydrogen or methane and turn it back into electricity while renewable production is insufficient. The amount of storage you need is a function of how much capacity you install, how large the grid is, and how smart e.g. electric car chargers are. Some clever economists probably can figure out the cheapest configuration.

Currently it's much cheaper to just burn fossil fuels or import power from your neighbors than to build hydrolyzers, which is why you don't see many, but pilot facilities in the multiple-MW range exist, so the technology is available.
That is true. We cannot expect a perfect reality with capabilities of surveillance technology.

However, last few years have shown here in Europe that it is possible to at least regulate what businesses do with the footage and personal data collected. GDPR - It doesn’t mean that an employee won’t do anything, but at least the legal entity for which he/she works is accountable and responsible for how this material is handled. And this employee can be fired.

This means that inside a business or organization it isn’t advisable to even talk about doing things with the data/footage. And it means there are legal methods of properly handling and disposing of it. And that is pretty neat, although it has been criticized and berated by anti-EU sentiments because it adds paperwork.

I’ve never been really worried about being observed or recorded, but after those 3D scanner things have popped up for passport checks I’ve become irritated. It’s obvious that there is unnecessary AI technology that’s sucking up all the available footage and extracting detailed information about me - beyond what is necessary for standard airport security. It’s not hard to imagine how an ML algo can be using this base somewhere out there to get all sorts of Minority Report style details.
Depends on what you're doing. If you're just browsing a repo, it's fine. If you're debugging something and need a timestamp for when a change went in, it's abysmal.
Here is a (in my humble opinion, vastly superior, and definitely, much more radical) vision for the evolution of the web:

- move to a totally content-centric system (something like IPFS maybe)

- give new browsers (and web assembly) first-class networking support such as direct UDP and TCP

- simplify browser into three categories of functionality: applications (web assembly), text (markdown/rst), and data (JSON? RDF?)

- drop CSS (can be used for user styles if implemented in particular browsers, but text advertisements that really needs to be formatted can be images)

- encrypted content should be handled in a different, non-authoritarian way. HTTPS ensures that state actors can access data with MITM.

- create at least two tiers for data sizes. one intended for low-bandwidth or very fast browsing that severely limits the size of files transferred.
Once I had an argument with a PhD biologist at my university because she was doing a Fisher's exact test in the most insane way I had ever seen: taking floating point ratios instead of integers, and because the stats program she used didn't take floating points as valid inputs for the test---obviously---, her workaround was to multiply these numbers by 100 to get integers. She refused to back down on this madness because "her supervisor did it like this, and his supervisor before him". In the end, her paper was peer reviewed and published and it was the first in a series of let downs that made me decide not to pursue a career in academia. Sometimes it's not like researchers want to tamper with their results. It's just that statistical ignorance is widespread and affect even the reviewers that were supposed to be the first line of defense. Which is a huge problem for an environment that relies too much on p-values and not so much on explaining them.

This is correct with the additional caveat that the pill also thins the uterine lining, making it difficult for the embryo to implant in the rare event of fertilization. So for people concerned about avoiding an abortion, the pill rarely, but not never, results in abortion.

I think most of the people on r/selfhosted aren't super technical. Lots of them install a snap or docker container with a web UI for self hosting and they are off to the races.
Frankly most of the functionality was removed on the Android version. You can't even change your user agent anymore. All you get is that pathetic "show desktop version" checkbox which not only still tells websites you're on a mobile browser but breaks if you check it, tap a link, and then hit the back button. I still have to do half my mobile browsing in Chrome because it may be an ad-riddled mess but at least it doesn't constantly break.

Hi,
Just wanted to point out that the SANE project has complete support for the ScanSnap S1500.[1]

I can highly recommend using xsane [2] (the graphical front-end application from the SANE project) with your host OS, makes it all much more streamlined.
I am writing up documentation myself about using the S1300i on Linux, it's a great device.

Assuming you’re living close to your partner, the actual amount of effort necessary would be a lot. The very narrow time window described is actually multiple weeks long. This is because when you go off hormonal birth control the first thing that happens is you have a period, then you need to stop taking it long enough for your body to rebuild the lining enough to be receptive.

You really have to not be paying attention to your partner, or your partner and your lifestyle is that neither of you live closely, for this to just happen.

Additionally, I feel this amount of mistrust should say a lot more about the relationship than about the woman. If you don’t trust your partner not to go off her birth control for multiple weeks to get secretly pregnant with someone else, why are you their partner? frankly your partner deserves better than you.
rsync+make is the deployment+run.

But this assumes the source of rsync is already static.

Handling dependencies is done in a build process, upstream.

Fetching dependencies at deployment time is a direct path to deployment failures (especially if the dependency management relies on external resources or non-locked versionning).
Nice diagrams and proofs! This is one of those that can feel obvious, but needs a bit of deep math

Addiction is defined as encountering substantial consequences for substance use and continuing to use them. Someone who drinks or smokes a few times a year isn't the audience for this sort of thing. If you do it on a regular basis you may want to look closer for consequences, and spend some time away from the drug to see what life is like without it. After doing so if you find the drug makes your life better, or at least causes you no harm, go for it.
declining fertility rate seems to be a universal characteristic of economic development.

The elimination of poverty requires universal provision of education, women get educated, have less (no kids), birth rate drops and keeps dropping below the threshold of population stability.

I don't think there is any example of a society that has managed to reverse this trend. Maybe Ceaucescu Romania which at one point banned contraception and abortion, leading of course to the orphan crisis of the 1980's. Counter intuitively, devastating wars / famine also lead to post-crisis population boom, perhaps because education / career are entirely disrupted.

We probably need to think seriously about making people outside of the natural womb, can't see another way to reverse this trend outside of the above mentioned measures / circumstances
Yet this is so, but who knows the future.
The eastern traditions encourage something called "Skilled interpretation". What's skilled interpreations? Picking causes that cause happiness, avoiding causes that lead to unhappiness. And to train the mind in such a way that if one indeed reaches a place of unhappiness, quickly rebalancing the mind to return to serenity, peace and happiness. Skilled interpreation is a continuous process to maintain serenity.
Why should we even do testing?

>They limit what a user sees

No, a screen has limited real estate. There is only so many things that can be shown to you at once. So on youtube for example there maybe only be room to show 8 videos. Ideally I should find all 8 videos interesting. If I don't, that's a waste of space and a waste of my time. Algorithmic feeds serve to improve the results such that I am more likely to watch a video that is put in one of those 8 spots compared to if I was just shown trending videos or videos from my subscription box. It is not hostile to me because it saves me time in finding something to watch. You are not being turned into a baby just because you no longer have to search for stuff manually. There is a difference between wanting to find something specific and just wanting to find something interesting.

>I've never encountered a situation where an algorithmic feed made things better.

One of the best algorithmic feeds is TikTok. After that YouTube's is pretty good to. I suggest trying one of those sites out to just see how effective they are in finding content that interests you. I have found algorithmic feeds have at least made things net better. There is too much information in the world to have to search through all of it ourselves. These algorithms solve the problem of dealing with this large scale of data.
Yeah. I was kind of infatuated with the UMAP paper when it first came up (and working through it to build intuition led me to persistent homology and other fun stuff), but it's far too complex to work as a "plug-in tool" that people naive to statistics can blindly use.

This is the power of ANOVA, CCA, linear regression and factor analysis, etc. It's much, much, much, much harder to shoot yourself in the foot, particularly with experimental data (usage in the social sciences is another bag of johnsons.)

But this is just par for the course. Most studies are flawed.

That is true but the idea is that the public space should not become a voyeuristic zoo.

Is looking at other people in public voyeuristic? Or is using a camera for watching it back later what makes it voyeuristic?

> as users worried the recommendations were turning GitHub into something distressingly like a social media platform.

Really users? This is news? I'll echo what I've said in another comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30769570) regarding GitHub being a social platform:

> GitHub has always branded itself as a "social collaboration platform" rather than anything else (well, first "git hosting" but secondly the social stuff).

> Here is a early version of their landing page from 2008 (the year they launched): https://web.archive.org/web/20081111061111/http://github.com...

> Notice the logo says "Social code hosting" and the messaging of the page is mostly around popular repositories, collaborative features and other social elements.

Anyone surprised by a "social code hosting" platform implementing new social features are in for a bleak feature, as the platform still aims (and always have aimed) to be the social place for coders.
I stopped drinking during the pandemic. I think for good. I wasn't drinking much. A bottle of wine or two at the weekend with my wife. Never really liked beer that much. It's hard to articulate exactly why I stopped

I think there was some sort of insight into how boring and mechanical it had become, how little I was gaining from it, the drip drip negative effect it had on my body and crucially, how my drinking enabled and encouraged others to drink.

Me continuing to drink was also making me feel morally very queasy when I personally knew two people who drank themselves to death. Not close friends. Both close enough for it to sting. One of them was an incredible talented music producer and a great loss to the world.

It's a very shit drug. The only reason I ever started drinking was to be inside the 'in' group and to have fun with friends.

It's abundantly clear now that alcohol isn't necessary for that at my age.

The only downside has been watching with crystal clarity how boring and dull when intoxicated people become at gatherings.

Better drugs for inhibited teenagers please. Microdosed kombucha for the win.
Rant engaged. As a person who feels responsible for ensuring what I build is secure, the security space feels inscrutably defeating. Is there a dummies guide, MOOC, cert, or other instructional material to better get a handle on all these things?

SSH keys make sense. But certificates? Is this OIDC, SAML, what? Is it unreasonable to request better and deeper "how to do {new security thing}" when PKI is a new acronym to someone? Where can I point my data science managers so they can understand the need and how to implement measures to have security on PII-laden dashboards? As so on.
You’re talking about running a tank battalion in WWII when we were talking about learning how to drive a car with manual transmission.
Makes sense! Thanks. And congratulations.
I hope you're right. Doesn't feel that way.
Thanks for your response. Would you mind helping me out with a few things..?

1. Could you help me understand why you feel the SAIS (Johns Hopkins, established 1943) and the CSIS (Georgetown, established 1962) are "blob-ular"?

2. I must be missing out on a lot of "serious analysts" Can you provide me with some links to the ones portraying Putin as " perfectly sane, rational, (having) legitimate security concerns, etc."?

3. As a thought experiment, I tried using your logic for Ukraine's "primary alternative" to Poland in 1939, but I am having trouble with it turning out as anything other than the actual historical outcome.. could you show me how that logic works?

4. Apparently the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurance was not the kind of "security guarantees" you are referring to, could you explain exactly what security guarantees beyond the Budapest Memorandum you envisioned..?

5. Could you explain what methods Ukraine would have used to "set a good example for Russia" other than holding elections as they did? How many invasions, poisoned presidents do you think are acceptable while the Ukrainian people wait for Russia to "get rid of (P)utin eventually"?

6. I must have missed the part where America was pushing Ukraine to war with Russia while being distracted by all that MSM coverage of the massive buildup of Russian military hardware on the Ukrainian border, in Ukrainian Crimea and in the 'independent' Belarus (which is doing so well for its people by doing exactly what you are advising Ukraine to do, right?) - all the while calling it a "military exercise" and denying their intent to invade.. could you post your sources for the Americans pushing Ukraine to war during the Russian military buildup on their borders?

7. I am very interested to know what you think of the UN General Council vote supported by 141 of the 193 members condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine, where only Russia, North Korea, Syria, Eritrea and Belarus voted against it? How do you fit this into your claim that the principle being fought for is "that the US alone should control the world"? How many of the 141 UN members do you suppose would like to have Russian influence on world affairs..?

8. The conflict is (so far) limited to Ukraine. Using only documented historical information, which principles do you think are more likely to prevent its expansion :those advocated by NATO or those advocated by Putin? Please address your answer such that it is convincing to the people of the sovereign nations of Georgia, Moldova, and the Baltic states.

Thanks in advance.
Alright, I modified it to be like the original comment.

You might not have used it as such, but GitHub always aimed to be a social platform and launched as such.

Here is their landing page when they first launched: https://web.archive.org/web/20081111061111/http://github.com...

Notice how the entire page is making you believe they are building a social coding platform? That's no accident, "Social code hosting" tagline in the logo included.

> I'm not writing and debugging 10,000 lines of C just to farm Github stars.

And neither would anybody else. That's the problem. (i.e. they'll do something else besides write and debug code to farm stars)

Let's say I determine (or at least believe) that the GitHub algorithm prefers projects with a README with lots of images and emoji, MIT-licensed, and lots of forks.

Obviously, there are already some really great projects out there that have exactly that! The problem is that now I'm incentivized to do those things as well, even if it doesn't always make sense. Sure, I might not create actual spam, but I might choose a license based on partly on that. Or I might inflate my README with an unreadable number of images. After all, my project is pretty important -- if only I could get a few more people interacting with it.

And of course, there's outright abuse. Maybe I'm desperate and build a bot that creates a bunch of forks.

The point is that it doesn't always require the latter scenario when there's also the former. Sure, it's not as bad, but I expect there to be more cases of it, and those cases are harder to determine and retroactively fix.
The “congrats" UI clearly puts it in easter egg territory though, even if the intended trigger was cut. Might be cut or perhaps the trigger still exists in the released binary but hasn't been discovered yet. But easter egg would be applicable in either case.
I understand Israel has a booming population: https://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/israel-populatio...

What are they doing that others are not?
I would say PKI (and especially the associated X509 standards) is by far the least understood (or most misunderstood) part of actually building secure stuff.

It would be nice if there was a dummies guide but I'm not really aware of one. Doesn't help that most of "how to PKI" on the web amounts to a bunch of unexplained cryptic openssl CLI incantations.
The huge problem with nuclear vs. natural gas is, that nuclear power plants have only a limited range, in which the power output can be regulated and they are not too quick in that either. So you need something else you can power switch quickly to maintain grid integrity. Natural gas is great for that, as the plants are very quick in response and can be regulated between 0 and 100% and back.

Nuclear is great to replace coal, but you still need the same amount of e.g. storage to complement changing net load and production (renewables).
I think most of this trend is happening in small counties.

Lots of people are moving to big cities, immigration means that the population is still growing very slowly.

Even if all these small counties emptied out, I don't think many people would want to live in them, you can already snap up housing there at a bargain price.
