How do you transfer the waste heat from the nuclear plant to the industrial processes that would use it in place of oil and gas? Just co-locate them all together?
More output. Easier to farm.
It's a very old idea which is in use in many places [1] -- and not just for nuclear plants. Main constraint is that you really can't transport the waste heat very far.

Anyone that flaunts morality (of themselves or others) or loudly decries 'immorality' at most charitable probably hasn't thought things out well, most likely is lying to themselves (though they often don't realize it), and at worst their basis for morality is based on fears of things they might themselves want.

There are also the more obvious examples of people that pander to get some perceived benefit, most are happy to believe 'the other party does this'. It's really sad that it is a rare gem of a politician who really believes in everything they say.
There was also precedent for defending slavery, women's right to vote, and other things but that didn't stop us from progressing or degressing(?) depending on what side you're on.
Takes too long to build fission plants to replace coal in the short term; easy to spin up lots of wind/solar. We've also got a ridiculous amount of renewable potential.

(I'm a candidate for the Fusion Party; we'd like to remove the ban on nuclear power in Australia because it would enable research)
> Likewise in affirmative action. You just listed three things where the supposedly arch conservative Supreme Court is simply making our law the same as France.

The reason abortion is not legal until 22 weeks in France is because the Netherlands allows it, and our left-and-center governments don't want to spend the political capital on it. Same stupid reason why Democrats haven't passed a bill since Roe vs Wade.

That said, I would not want to be a Republican right now, giving people something stupid that they want is the best way to get to stupid-ass results.
I thought it was pretty clear from my post... my memory is much worse than it was in my 20s (and I have <10 years of professional experience). A 20-something with 10 years of experience is going to remember the things they solved in those 10 years (or they are much more likely to anyway). I might remember that I solved it once, but the details of how are entirely elusive.

I am a mid-level developer who likes to work mostly on backend API development and integrations. I enjoy refactoring just as much as creating from scratch, and I know the importance of documentation and good communication. I give back to my community using my skills and am eager to grow with good mentors.
We'll have to see how the courts view laws trying to criminalize abortions over state lines; several states are investigating ways to do this or have proposed legislation to do this. I can't really see them surviving serious legal challenge, but then, here we are having this conversation today.
Gay rights and gay marriage equality was one of the top culture war issues that Republicans were fighting against from the late 90s until Obergefell. It’s a best hit. They will definitely bring it back.
Wouldn't proximity and time be rather important? Seeing someone briefly from a distance, in a traumatic and stressful moment, could easily lead to mistaken identification. On the other hand, the Nuremberg trials relied on eyewitnesses to identify people guilty of genocide who were trying hard to disguise their appearance, and this was possible because the witnesses had been in relatively close proximity to the accused for a long period of time.

Just like an AI can't make a perfectly accurate 3D replica of a face from a single 2D image, the human brain can't. But that doesn't mean it can't get closer and closer with more data.

It seems to me that the real problem is not eyewitness testimony itself, but the methods used to validate the degree of certainty behind it.
Because hackernews is a tech website. Just a strange place for this topic to come up even if the leak might have been technological in some regard.
The fact that the third is emergent seems to me like more evidence that it is real, rather than the opposite
The irony of this line of argument is that an “impartial AI judge” never would have created Roe in the first place. A computer wouldn’t conjure up a right to abortion that’s not expressly listed in the constitution from a right to privacy that’s also not expressly listed in the constitution but is instead conjured up from the “penumbras” of listed rights. Only a human would do such a thing.
O11y is Gen Z term for NOC.
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but "30B parameters" refers to a matrix with 30B elements, and assuming all the numbers are 16 bit, then that's 2 bytes * 30B = 60GB.
Chiming in as someone who has lived decades in both South East US and North East US. I've also never heard () called "brackets" only "parentheses". This includes in and out of programming circles.

Ah, cool. yeah, maybe :D Thanks.
That’s a really good point. The article was talking about nitrogen and I conflated this with phosphorus and potassium with my “mined fertilizers” comment.
The information in apps like Grindr is more sensitive than other apps (e.g. Tinder) but it's probable that most apps are selling, or have sold in the past, most user information that they can garner. What's the incentive to do it securely, or to provide proper anonymisation?
Would like to know how it differs or compares with Cypress. Is it the mocking of the network calls that makes it different?
"should" is a pretty poor choice of wording, and best to avoid using in nearly all cases. Why should we consider to this opinion? Given the crappy title, why should one even bother clicking on the link?

Sorry, it's intended as a personal criticism (in fact, my intention is the opposite!), but the decision sets the stage for quite a weak and unpersuasive argument.
A racist would make the same argument about Brown vs Board.

Agreed. Also, if you include software that costs money, Altium is in my opinion by far the most user-friendly program in the ECAD industry (I've spent a lot of time in Altium and Cadence, and a bit of time in Eagle).

If your design is open-source, Altium CircuitMaker is a free version of Altium specifically for open-source hardware projects:

> but for every single good one I swear they make 3 utter shite too

That describes almost all AAA companies. I think Square takes more heat on this point because they are some of the few studios still investing heavily in the "AA" market. Outside of Avengers, most of the other projects people may point to aren't really the highest budget games to begin with. And those rough releases are something most other studios don't want to risk anymore.

> + their gacha games are not even that good considering the saturation on the gacha market and what quality games some other companies can make (see Genshin)

I mean, the entire market is trying to chase Genshin right now. It's a very arguable point that no mobile game released as of now is as good as Genshin, at least on a technical level.

I understand why. The attraction of mobile is running a relatively low budget (say, "A/AA" level) project and having it profit for a few years until they need to recycle the assets into a new project. A game like Genshin is the equivalent of trying to put GTA V on a phone. Which may be technically feasible now, in 2022, but it'd get you laughed out of a pitch in 2017 or so when Genshin started development

Remember, this would have been right before the Switch launched and had Breath of the Wild show what an ARM architecture was capable of rendering. Most other studios are too risk averse to consider such an endeavor. Console developers especially because they don't want to cannabalize their games with something that plays too closely to their $60 AAA blockbuster.
Stupid take man. Even if they have "lost all credibility" in your eyes they still make decisions that have impact.

On several occasions I've found myself taken aback when someone asked me a deep/attentive question about myself. There are only a few people in my life that I actually care enough to hear their answers to those of questions, and I assume they are the same way.

Sometimes those people creep me out and sometimes it forms a lasting bond. But I fully understand what you mean when you say you perceive it as BS. It just sets off alarm bells and makes my brain pay way more attention to decide whether they are being genuine or not (and if they are, to find out why the apparent bond is so asymmetrical).
Mercedes has a system on the S-class that uses the sensors to detect a potential impact (e.g. an rapidly approaching vehicle while the car is stationary) and uses the active suspension to "jump" raising the car a few inches just at the moment of impact, apparently slightly reducing the potential for injury.

Many cars and especially planes & spaceships are have tons of systems like this.

I worked on a system that did things like in response to a primary datasource being offline would switch the queries it used to a different database to include substitute data and pass this back to be used instead until the primary store came back online. Three years after it was put in production this happened on one of the company's biggest and most important days of the year, and our SREs were sitting there calmly trying to solve the issue, ended up waiting until late at night to deploy a fix. It would have been reasonable for this service to just rely on the primary source, but we would have been offline for hours if this little trick hadn't been put in place.
The background on Canada's plans for small modular reactors (of which this is just one of three projects) can be found here:

https://www.world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/Canadian-provinc...

Supposedly this is promoting clean energy and fighting climate change, but the details don't always match this rhetoric. In particular they're thinking they can use nuclear power to replace piped-in natural gas to mine the Alberta tar sands and make (very dirty) syncrude for export to refineries in the USA, maybe China too. Yes, that does reduce natural gas use... but you're still burning dirty tarsand oil. The better option is to just leave the tar in the ground.

Otherwise, SMRs sound kind of interesting, but there's been a lot of failed innovation in nuclear reactors in the past. Some of us might remember when safe and reliable and innovative pebble bed reactors were going to be the thing that made nuclear acceptable everywhere, and that ended up going nowhere:

https://thebulletin.org/2009/06/the-demise-of-the-pebble-bed...

> "For some, helium-cooled, graphite-moderated reactors such as the PBMR have always been the ultimate evolution of fission reactor design. The use of helium and graphite allows the reactor to burn the fuel efficiently and to operate at much higher temperatures than conventional light water reactors. It is hoped the temperatures would be high enough to allow for the reactor’s heat to be used directly for industrial processes such as hydrogen production and tar sands processing. High temperature reactors can also be designed to use thorium-based fuel as well as uranium and can be developed as fast neutron reactors that don’t need moderators."

I was enthusiastic about nuclear 20 years ago... now, not so much, since solar/wind/storage really gives more watts per dollar invested, with less side issues (security, uranium supply, waste storage). Nuclear has a niche, but it's going to remain small.
Instead of spending a bunch of money to ship stuff to Asia, then spending a bunch of money to upgrade their waste management facilities, why don't we just have our waste management companies toss unusable plastic from recycling into their landfill next door?
That tweet is still months after the supposed visit and doesn't even reference the video it was "about".

> Journalists surveilled by the DHS for documenting police violence in the US

So you would agree that harassing random journalists and accusing them of "anti-American sentiments" isn't DHS's MO?

> YouTube quickly rolled back on the supposed shadowban, but it's very well documented by users on Twitter, Reddit and YouTube, to the point he would need to have a bot army to fake it.

What documentation? All I could find is stuff like "it didn't show up in my sub feed" which happens to all sorts of videos and all sorts of YouTubers. Where's the evidence YT specifically targeted this video?

Also, this really reeks of the standard magical thinking of conspiracy theories. If YT actually wanted to suppress this video, why wouldn't they just take it down with a bogus copyright strike? Those happen all the time on their platform. Of course, instead it makes way more sense YT used a specially designed shadowban that's never been seen anywhere else to deal with this video rather than taking the easy and more effective way out /s
Roman Empire never fails until it actually does. I want things to get better in California and be the best place on planet earth to live. The first step in doing that is actually admitting that things are getting worse and there is a dire need to change things. At some point your argument won’t hold anymore. The decline is real and the arguments made in the 90’s stood on a different truths than today.

This defense hides the fact that people are still believing the falsehoods and instead of introspecting, they're not even believing the facts presented in the article. The first comment on top is an ad-hominem attack on the credibility of the Economist instead of its substance.

We need to take a hard look at what went wrong.

Imagine if we're a team trying to do a post-mortem of an outage in our company. We'd dig into what the real root cause is. Here, Californians like myself are fed up with decline and all you see is people getting into tribal "Us vs Them (Texans)" game. That's what I see on HN.

There seems to be some confusion. I am saying the top is American - at least as I was taught it in school. The bottom is the more typically British variant. But I think the reality is the both America and Britain have variations. To an American ear, bracket to mean parenthesis is not just odd, but wrong. But someone already said they consider bracket to be a catchall term, so obviously this is not universal.

Edit: okay, apparently there is just complete bracket anarchy across America and words have no fixed meaning.
Fascinating read. I love code horror stories such as this.

First time I heard of active listening was in a corporate self-improvement class. People around me (the majority were extroverted bay area marketing/product folks) were mind blown. Many had never experienced anything like it. To me, it was just... listening. (Not saying this to self-promote, I had the same experience as them in other exercises.)

I do think there's a cultural distinction as well. Americans have a very intense small talk conversational culture. If you stop and think, it's a sign of weakness, so people are very good at filling the void if need be. In other cultures, speaking prematurely without anything good to say can be worse than saying nothing.

Quotes a study that literally shows what I'm saying and tries to use 13-17 year olds sexual habits as an indicator of anything (which includes solo masturbation in the statistic). Did you even check what they also cited? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32530470/ Proves my point.

There's a lot more men who are not having sex than women in their 20s. These graphs shouldn't line up so insanely with the narrative otherwise.
Our agrarian ancestors were highly food insecure, and often died in droves if a few harvests failed in a row they also achieved this feat with more land per person under cultivation. Factory farming ins't ideal, but it feeds far more people on far less land. We should improve our methods, take soil health into account, and conserve water and other resources but there's a baby in that bath water.

Land under cultivation in 1970 in the US was 464 million acres and is now about 384 million acres and production has nearly doubled. A lot of that 80 million acres has been re-wilded. We now have more tree cover than we have had for more than a century.

In my—undergraduate, not-very-specialist—days of being taught something or other about entropy now and then, I felt like we were being told "This state is special, so the entropy is low, and then it probably ends up in one of these other states, and none of them are special, so the entropy has increased”, and it would seem to me that we could appreciate all of the states as equally special if we were big-brained enough. Maybe like the integers being Ramanujan’s personal friends.
GPT3 will do that right now. There aren’t any controls on its text, it just warns you if it looks offensive. And of course nothing it says is true except coincidentally.

If you've seen GPT-3 interviews (https://twitter.com/minimaxir/status/1513957106868637696) it'll happily say some wild stuff. As a mild example I recommend interviewing "a man who is currently beating you up".
As a dual-citizen, I've had some great experiences at the Swiss Consulate in the US. Though accessing the government through the Department of Foreign Affairs might yield much better service than going directly to the underlying bureaucracy.

Story: when my parents got married, my mother gained Swiss citizenship and they wanted her birth certificate. She told them she didn't have it and that it might not exist anymore, since she was born in South Vietnam, which was no longer a country. They had their colleagues in Vietnam find it for her, and even gave her a copy, without being asked.
I'm all for renewable power and environmentally sustainable technologies. This includes Solar, Beach, Wind power and Nuclear power. Preferably Hydrogen fuel cell cars over battery powered cars (purely for less batter and less toxic material to recycle and also logistically more feasible for long distance driving). We Australians need to raise awareness about its effectiveness. The new compact fusion reactor designs from the UK are quite exciting. It can power entire Australia and create a lot of jobs. It's sad that we aren't doing enough in that space.
The best way to reduce abortions is to reduce unwanted pregnancies. Birth control and sex ed are key to that but ironically that doesn't seem to be embraced by those who say they want to stop abortions.
