Chernobyl killed millions or tens of millions of people:

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/feb/09/fossil-f...

Let's say Chernobyl didn't happen, then I would guess around 10% of those fossil fuel deaths would have been prevented.

Quick calculation 8.7mill/year * 10 % * 30 years = 26.1 million.

So, lets say that the pessimistic side of "mainstream" research on number of deaths from Chernobyl is 26000, the "nuclear scare" effect still caused maybe 1000x as many deaths.

Even if I'm off by an order of magnitude, that's still 100x.

If he’s so clever he can probably figure out a way to process feedback that he’s being a deliberate dick with his statement on “pretend to work”

Nothing about his public presence suggest nuance and a capacity for intelligence.

Is he secretly a genius? Maybe so, but his comments about voting Republican due to twitter mob reactionism, when he is deliberately trying to buy what is obviously a political trumpet to cudgel people with suggests that he has no game theory at all…

I suspect that he was lucky and interprets his luck as genius and favor from God

It’s used fairly often in the US national lab community (Not just among physicists).

I think the point is that the physicists were among the very early adopters of computing systems. I’m not sure about the history of the term “code” used this way, but it might literally predate compiled software since Ulam and von Neumann invented the Monte Carlo method in 1948 during the Manhattan Project.

Personally I think it just sounds outdated now, but it’s pretty common to hear people call their software “a hydrodynamics code” or “a molecular dynamics code”
Thanks, I'll look for that next time. The problem with Excel and these CSV files was it mangled the date column, which I only found out about after a bunch had been fully edited. I used modern CSV to rescue this and so have been suspicous of going back to Excel to do any further manipulations.
In this case, "best players" is "players making most purchases". Bit of a disgusting Freudian slip.

Has anybody figured out a convenient way to post tabular data in a Slack message that doesn't look horrible? I usually use an "ASCII Table" tool to format the CSV and then post the results in a code block, but it's a PITA.
The problem is that Google Calendar (and most other widely used calendars) has poor portability. I too use it, because my work uses it, so I have no choice, if I don't want to end up with multiple calendar apps. I hate it for this reason.

> then diffed with the real DOM

Diffing with real DOM is slow, majority of vdom libraries aren't diffing with real DOM. As an author of a "vdom" library, I don't like to think about "reconciler" as a diffing algorithm because it is a useless constraint, I like to think about it as a some kind of a VM that uses different heuristics to map state to different operations represented as a tree data structure.

> What I wonder is whether the reason for virtual DOM is really just historic, is there anything else that has caused its persistence other than inertia?

As a thought experiment try to imagine how would you implement such features:

- Declarative and simple API

- Stateful components with basic lifecycle like `onDispose()`

- Context API

- Components that can render multiple root DOM nodes or DOMless
components

- Inside out rendering or at least inside out DOM mounting

- Conditional rendering/dynamic lists/fragments without marker DOM nodes

Here are just some basics that you will need to consider when building a full-featured and performant web UI library. I think that you are gonna be surprised by how many libraries that make a lot of claims about their performance or that "vdom is a pure overhead" are actually really bad when it comes to dealing with complex use cases.

I am not saying that "vdom" approach is the only efficient way to solve all this problems, or every "vdom" library is performant(majority of vdom libraries are also really bad with complex use cases), but it is not as simple as it looks :)

Imagine walmart is the only large store near your house, and they ban you from that store. Walmart is not an essential utility, since you have a convenience store and a gas station in the same town too, and you can also drive 2 hours to another large store if needed.

If all of your social circle is on facebook, it's very inconvenient to ask them to move somewhere else just for you.

Yeah I think it's pretty common, certainly feels familiar to me.
Here's some tricks that I find help me get out of the pit:

1)you can lower activation energy of some tasks by telling yourself that you're just going to do x minutes of it now, where x is an amount of time that feels ok to suffer through. Depending on where you're at, x might be like 2 minutes, or 5 or 10 or whatever. Then you set a timer and try to do at least the amount you told yourself you would. Often I find I'm at a point of energy where I can cope with finishing the task, or doing a chunk of time more - at the very least the task will be a bit smaller than it was, reducing the activation energy a little.

2)Music can really help uplift me. I have my best speakers set up in my kitchen, such that the sweet spot for the stereo effect is right in front of my kitchen sink. My kitchen lacks a dishwasher, and I'm not fond of washing up, so the washing up is one task that I often want to put off for future me. The music makes it much more inviting and cozy, lowering the activation point each day and contributing to the coping with finishing effect in tip 1.

3) I can also use music to help me get out of my bedroom, and even help me start each day off to a good, happy, start. This requires having speakers that you can activate from a distance, or set on a timer/alarm function. I set some music to play in another room, such that I can kinda hear it from my bedroom, but I'm only really getting the bass and louder notes, and I naturally want to move nearer to the source of the sound to hear my favourite songs properly. I don't treat the alarm function on my speaker like a traditional alarm clock to be turned off as soon as I'm awake - I treat it as way of automatically having interesting and uplifting sonic stimulation that helps me be more awake than I would be. I leave it on while I'm getting my breakfast etc until I either need some quiet to focus on work, or I head out my home.

4)Know your low energy points of the day if you have them, and target those times. After identifying that at 11:30am I'm often unproductive and feeling a slump, I set up a couple of alarms on my phone, spread out by a minute or two that just gives me a quote that resonates with me. The quote I use, comes from an animated comedy on Netflix that I really like. First message is: "Every day it gets a little easier", second message is "But you gotta do it every day". I could do a third message with the rest of the quote, but that feels overkill and actually I enjoy finishing off the quote in my head.
Nowhere do I say that nobody has anything to hide. Hell, I have stuff to hide, but none of that is connected to my public Github account.

I was simply challenging the assertation that contributions would dry up when required to identify yourself, and I don’t think that’s true. I can’t be the only one that has only a mildly pseudonymous account.
It looks blurry to me as well.
Since this thread is turning into a yet another complaints about academia thread:

One of the serious downsides of working in academia is you are basically doing the industry's work for them for less pay and they will one day turn around, pat you on the back, then sell your work for millions of dollars. It gets worse honestly the closer you are to applied fields. There, you already straddle the line between what your more "pure" (and less well paid) peers think is "science" and actually making things that will in fact make people's lives better, so you have less room to be idealistic about why you are doing what you're doing, that is, whether it is for "moving the needle" or "adding to the corpus of humanity's knowledge" or whether you really are just doing someone else's work for them they aren't willing to fund given the risks. And given that the latter is basically closer to what you're doing and your closer to the place where you'll see your work enable someone else's riches, it's hard not to want to jump ship and just become one of those people on the other side but make money hands over fist.

It's an upsetting situation honestly.
> Personally, I think they should've published his paper - they can continue actually using the work internally to improve their TPU designs whilst he publicly tries to persuade their competitors it's a bad idea.

This analysis assumes he is wrong. I’ve got no idea if he is right or wrong.

But if he is right, Google would probably want to suppress stories like this for PR purposes. “Google AI published in Nature is actually beaten by old commercial technology” is not the headline Google wants to put out.

Although again - I’m not saying that he is right! Just that Google has commercial reasons for what it decides to pursue/implement/publish.

I'd still argue that if you want a society with different rules then there are two broad choices:

(i) get enough people on your side to change the society you are in; or

(ii) move to a society that operates closer to what you want

Technological escape hatches are probably at best a stop-gap measure, but not a replacement for (i) or (ii)
I simply cannot fathom why “we” can’t pressure Facebook (or Google, or Twitter, et. al.) to add a public-facing department to handle this sort of thing. My wife lost her Gmail account, despite my efforts to get it back, and it’s stupid that there’s no way to contact someone, and intervene in these completely obvious account takeovers. And I hate to say this, but I hope that this person does NOT get any satisfaction in getting their account back. These kinds of posts usually end in someone at the FAANG taking notice and fixing it, and it’s a slap in the face to everyone else that doesn’t have a similar online presence, and can’t raise their personal problem to visibility like this.

As a kid I used a non-offset paddle (it was paddle you could disconnect, so that was easy enough) and then switched to 90 degrees. Having picked up some paddles two years ago that can be attached with variable angles I found something less than 90 degrees to be more comfortable. My kids and wife all prefer the 90 degrees. I guess it comes down to personal preferences. I never did real long distance sea kayaking so, mostly lakes and rivers and some easy white water when i was a lot younger.

> Building standards for new buildings are aleady very strict when it comes to isolation.

Yes, however in many nations there is a huge fleet of old not retrofitted buildings.

> Most Norwegians don't feel obligated to reduce their quality of life just ot provide cheaper electricity to Denmark, Germany and the UK.

This is perfectly understandable and thinking "let's provide for ourselves first, and then sell our surpluses without any rebate" is welcome. The market will cope.

> I doubt most Danes would be equally reluctant to pay Norwegian prices for meat and pork.

True, and there may also be some dynamic equilibrium to reach there.

> Norway fully intends for people to INCREASE their electricity consumption

Nearly all European nation does so, AFAIK, and those who deny it doesn't have any other plan: the most realistic way to replace fossil fuels remains 'electrification', and even with major efforts towards saving energy achieving it implies to produce more electricity. A few years ago some denied it, but nowadays it seems clear(?)

> As long as most European countries use natural gas for heating
> If electricity is not used for heating, it is kind of a luxery good

During a very cold season in the North it may not be as vital as heating but everywhere many households, even out of cold/hot seasons (heating system and air conditioner OFF) just cannot cope without electricity. Many professional setups, especially secondary and even more tertiary sector, just cannot proceed without it.

> it's hard replace fossil fuels, and if they cannot use Russian gas, they may have to go back to coal (LNG may be too expensive).

> for countries like Hungary and Romania to be able to heat their houses with electricity, prices have to be RADICALLY lower than current prices in Germany

Yes, but how would nuclear be a better option, given its upfront costs, high LCOE...?

> natural gas remains viable for heating purposes througout Europe for the next generation.

Is it compatible with an IPCC scenario?

> one could revise standards for Nuclear production to lower safety standards (in terms of expected deaths per GWh) to a level more similar to competing energy forms.

It will be known, thus amplifying the NIMBY effect.
It's an improvement in the sense that it gives you an additional option.
Yeah— wouldn't have helped in this situation. I was a professional and (deliberately) not in an academic career path, and at this very prestige-conscious institution, publishing in a scuzzy journal probably would have made me look worse.
Despite the standard HN position (Brexit Bad, Tories Bad, everything Bad) - this is a really good policy.

Last year, UK net migration was up a lot (https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populati...) mostly driven by student visas, mostly driven by India and Nigeria. This is a good thing for the UK - a country which already specialises in Education. We make money for each student, companies get the pick of talent, it's good for soft power and gives optionality. It's also morally right that we offer legal ways for people to move to the UK.

Boris is bad yes, but he brought back the two year post graduation visa (under May you had 3 months to find a job - I saw this up close and it simply wasn't enough time for any specialisation). This is also a really good thing.

Commentators below talking about 'going remote' but this is relevant for SWE and some professional services. Roles in labs, R&D, education, media, law are almost always hybrid which means you can't hire overseas.

What's important is that most of these people would have got into the UK anyway on the points-based systems if they spoke a bit of English and worked in an in-demand field. What this policy essentially does is say is that if you went to these Universities then you don't need to be a SWE and you don't need a certain level of English. I can't see how this isn't a good thing.

And by the way, we already do this for people later in their career. https://www.gov.uk/global-talent
The reproducabilty crisis in chemistry is just as bad, if not worse, than biology. Anyone with a pen can reproduce a math proof. If you work on a big project (physics experiment) where every paper has a dozen eyes on it you can't slip crap work by your peers because that's their livelihood on the line. In between you have bio/chem fields where each project is too expensive to trivially reproduce but still small enough to have only one career on the line for each project.
If he's right they've got a problem because they're actively using the research in their chip designs. Personally, I think if this technique really didn't work they probably would've figured that out when taking it to production.

What if it is really not good enough?

Should everyone just accept someone's claims that they addressed a problem when they might be actually making it worse by pretending it's solved when it isn't?

I recall the days of old when no laptop supported linux, and the impact there was when a model showed up with claims it indeed supported linux. I bought one based on those claims (don't recall the make-model, might have been an Acer) and I still recall the disappointment I felt when I discovered critical stuff like wifi did not worked at all. There were a few comments like "It boots, right?" followed by "for some subset of users you will never be good enough" when critical problems were pointed out, but the truth of the matter was that a purchase was made based on a feature that was advertised but was in fact not offered.
Yep - more taxes, that's the ticket. Universities and the NHS - in need of a tax increase for the last 60 years.
I think the spying of the ad industry destroyed so much trust in technology that many people refrained to use any form of house automation, especially cloud connected devices.

A lot of that and any AI will be suspected of sharing data with its master.
