We can't solve climate change with an app or an innovation. Only government regulatory action can fix this.

One nation above all others is resistant to worldwide government regulation. And one political party opposes regulation and downplays the impact of climate change in their platform.

The most effective and important thing you can do is elect progressives at every level of government in your country. In the U.S., this means supporting the Democratic party.

> 2) refueling of this reactor does not require the nuclear plant to shut down.

That is very nice when you're trying to breed plutonium, the natural uranium fuel assemblies only have to irradiated a few weeks and then you would already need to shut the reactor down. When you can switch during operation, than there's less downtime.

So in total I guess it's a pretty inefficient reactor that's perhaps a nice addition to your weapons program.

This is incorrect. The NuScale reactor is not an online-refueling design like the CANDU (which is indeed easily adapted for breeding high grade plutonium simply by adjusting irradation time). It is an offline-refueling design like every other operating PWR. See this NuScale presentation about refueling operations:

https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML1515/ML15159A311.pdf

The reactor has to be completely shut down for more than a week during refueling (slide 13). The plant can stay online because a plant contains a minimum of 4 reactor modules:

So by staggering refueling times, the plant can continuously generate at least 75% of rated output.

>They broke the emerging VR software ecosystem into the open side which many companies supported and a Facebook only proprietary one

What? There used to be a bunch of different VR platforms, and only recently has the industry settled on a single open standard, OpenXR[1], and Facebook was (or at least claims to be[2]) one of the major contributors to that open standard.

There are a lot of things you can criticize Meta for doing with Oculus, but opposing open standards isn't one of them.

So I tried Matrix yesterday for the first time in my life, despite having heard about it in passing for years on end.

It's fucking slow.
At this point nothing AI does (or could do) should come as a surprise. Humans will be completely outclassed in every scenario where AI is able to participate. The trick becomes how to benefit from AI as opposed to just entirely replacing human value.
That's my point. I didn't replace the argument with any other. My original comment concerned citation practices whereas you're arguing about something else.

So it's not a straw man, but rather that we're having different discussions.
One aspect of flânerie is that it goes beyond strolling _for one's self_. The point isn't to stroll aimlessly with an empty mind. It in fact is to help one understand the city in which they are in, to better comprehend it, to feel it. You are in it in order to see it. I think the more often one practices flânerie the better they are at discerning what part of town they just wandered into, and can thus decide whether it is "safe" or not.

One of my favorite flânerie times was wandering from the Arc De Triomphe to the Sacre Coeur in Paris. It took hours. I saw amazing scenes I'd never seen before, moments of tranquility, of bizarreness, of beauty, just because I didn't take the metro or e-scooter. Snacked in a super cool cafe that I'm sure wouldn't have appeared in any travel guide. Meandered through parks that also get no mention but were swelling with local life. I highly recommend visiting places like this.
Exactly it's the consequences of what could happen. It's good for kids to learn the hard way most of the time, but I'm not letting my kid swim in shark infested water so that they learn about the value of signs.

More like, that's too bad for consumers! In my experience, Ticketmaster doesn't care one bit.

When I was 17, I purchased tickets to an all-ages show via Ticketmaster's location in my local mall. At some point in time between my purchase and the event, it apparently became age-restricted. (It was an electronic music event, and this was at the peak of tv-news-driven anti-"rave" hysteria.)

I arrived at the venue on the night of the show, and they wouldn't let me in, despite my ticket clearly saying "all ages". The promoters blamed the venue for the age restriction change, I believe truthfully. But the venue box office wouldn't give me a refund since my tickets were from Ticketmaster.

So I called Ticketmaster the next day. They claimed all events are wiped from their system after the event ends, and no amount of escalation can possibly result in a refund for a prior event. Naturally they gave me the runaround and said to take it up with the venue box office :/

My takeaway was never trust Ticketmaster, they simply don't honor their own large print on their tickets.

> there's a risk here, of course, that your new code becomes another legacy ball of mud that everyone hates and the cycle repeats, but this time with two services

I would call that risk a guarantee. And as long you havent turned the other off, the net result is negative. I say, make the journey as valuable as the goal, and make incremental improvements that offer value from day 1.
Suggestions for further improvement:

Cap the amount of cells and essentially partition. Using 2 machines could conceivably double performance after scaling up stops working. So a 1bn row sum could conceivably ask for 5 200m sums then sum those.

Maintain a float32 and float64 version. Compute the float32 first and return to user, then update the result.

You could conceivably run some kind of ml model or even regular logic to predict the API call your formula engine will need to make, eg. If the customer status typing a column of sum range, you could optimistically fetch that part as soon as you see that element.

Optimistically caching is obviously high variance and resource draining.

People who made those exact arguments 10-20 years ago where wrong, since those plants would have prevented a lot of coal, oil and gas from being burned. Those people have both blood and an ongoing climate crisis on their hands.

Who should we blame in 10-20 from now if people still are burning coal, oil and gas? Who will take responsibility for the inaction?
You say that but where are they going to align themselves to? China? The US benefits by having a lack of good competition. Things would have to get extremely bad for the rest of the west to dump the US. Word on the street is that Trump is going to announce a run for 2024 as a way to get ahead of his rivals. He has a reasonable shot at winning barring unforeseen circumstances. You can't dismiss the odds given how incredibly poorly the Democrats have messed up their two years since taking office.

I feel that if given another Trump win, the rest of the west will be forced to remain in another holding pattern for four years and suffer whatever consequences occur hoping that four years later things improve.
Distinguishing between failure modes isn’t nitpicking when the difference is between the plant being totaled for the purposes of future power generation as opposed to spewing radioactivity over a third of a continent.

An Airbus that loses an engine and has to immediately land has objectively failed; however, acting like that’s equivalent to a plane homing into a skyscraper and exploding is not helpful.

Long time ago wanted to so something good and took a part in W3C webmachinelearning standardization group. Inspired by simplicity of brain.js wanted browser API to offer something similar to it - simple and easy to learn and easy to understand, also wanted a training API to be available. It is possible to keep simplicity of brain.js and flexibility of any other op set. And my oh my - did hit the wall HARD! Paid seats in W3C rules. They do what they want there. Your voice there matters only if it aligns well with their voice. Browsers API is now their own domain and whenever there is a conflict of interest their choice is obvious.
I came across something that is somewhere in the middle. Maybe a happy medium? It's a Python library called IDOM [0]. Best way I can explain it is that it is server-side bindings for React, where state and diffs are passed back and forth for you via web sockets. You implement your components in Python with a React-like API and IDOM builds the equivalent React components for you on the client-side and then wires up your server-side state handlers. It is also web framework agnostic, works with all the most popular ASGI web frameworks in Python.

Admittedly it is still a bit raw. But seemed like a really interesting concept when I was looking for LV equivalents.

To answer your question, the Mongers of Climate Change have people of various convictions. Some people risk their lives shutting down highways, others just buy a different car.

You might think it weird to relate these two concepts together but human belief determines human action.

When a drought occurs, some cultures perform rain dances, others try to curtail economic activity. There have been droughts, there will be droughts. It's not like water is a worldly finite resource. Water has migration patterns too.

At this point in Human history, famine, in general, is a political decision.

Thank you for pointing this out. I think most people assume that companies are just being greedy when they solder previously socketed parts, for example. I'm not saying it's never a factor. But it also solves real engineering problems.

Modern technology often requires tighter integration. We accept integrated circuits because we're accustomed to them. But then people flip out when they see what's effectively a naked module because it looks like a greedy version of the old thing.
Because most people don't care—especially in the United States, but also in many other countries.
It is on at least one Japanese car. It was a JDM model that had been imported to Turks and Caicos. A Suzuki, IIRC. The Volvo I rented in the UK had the stalk on the left.

There are big opportunities in the blank parts of the map, but we only remember the very few survivors. People rarely know they need the new product (remember the apocryphal Henry Ford quote: "If I asked people what they want they'd say a faster horse").

Despite the amusing language it was a useful perspective.

Freedom of speech is a right of the people against the government. Not between employees and employers.

Show HN: PostgreSQL proxy for integration testing things you don't control
Hi hackers!

I recently tried to get a stack of microservices running in a docker-compose sandbox for integration testing using their original (e.g. prod) configuration.
This means I didn't know what credentials they'd be using or what database name.

So I hacked together a postgresql proxy using an existing project (https://github.com/KnifeMaster007/pgAuthProxy) and simply allow any credentials to connect and make sure the desired database exists before returning control to the caller.

Sharing this in the hopes it is useful for someone else.

I don't know why radicals can't go back to physical written works and spoken word. No surveillance from someone sitting in a cubical 1000 miles a way at least.

It's worked for thousands of years, and the internet has not made it obsolete contrary to popular belief.

Remember that the FBI really doesn't want to get caught nor does Apple.

So if you make a software package that monitors for "FBI iPhones" being added to your account, and make that available on github for other people to use, and have it send results back to a big web dashboard, then both the FBI and Apple would have to immediately stop for fear of being caught.

Such a package could be on Mac, where you have easy root access, because the e2e keys of chats has to be visible to all clients, not just iPhones.

Remember you only have to find one convincing case of Apple/FBI adding a phone to a users account without consent, and Apples privacy conscious reputation is ruined.

I think this should be required reading for people at so called "engineering led" companies. When I hear that phrase, my experience tells me that products come out of neat insights or tech work in engineering, and not because of an identification of unmet need in the market. Ive seen too many cases where leaders took some really cool stuff that engineering came up with, built a product around it, and then were scratching their heads when it painfully ground its way to a distant 2nd or 3rd place in the market.
I would be bewildered if the FBI doesn't have a back door into every messaging app allowed on american cell phones.
