> Nuclear is here to stay for the next decades (plural).

That's the problem with nuclear; even if every nuclear power plant on the planet were shut-down today, "nuclear" would still be here to stay for at least a century or two.

No nuclear power plant has ever been fully decommissioned. Decommissioning of the first UK nuclear power plants is expected to last another century. That's being paid for by taxpayers. The builders and operators of those plants were never asked to plan or pay for decommissioning; and anyway, 200 years is a long time to expect a corporation to stay alive.

So let's be quite clear: the cost of a nuclear power plant includes the cost of decommissioning. Since decommissioning takes such a long time, you can't rely on contracts with private companies to ensure they finish the job. Decommissioning is a horrible insurance risk; never having been completed successfully, there's no reliable guide to how much it might cost.

So, step forward, the insurer of last resort: my grandchildren!
I wonder how far out one can scale a cooling, rather than heating, system. Probably not worth it making it city-wide, but then - who knows? If it works for heating...

Besides not publishing pricing or detailed specs this close to the planned shipping date, this rings so many alarm bells.
You can apply a third-party non-reflective screen-protector.

My guess is that the main reason many devices have reflective stock screens is that a reflective screen has higher brightness, while a matte screen is dimmer. I think most will agree that matte is preferable in actual use, but when looking at basic screen benchmarks or when looking at a bunch of screens in a hardware store, buyers are attracted to bright screens.
I always disable this crap, fine with pixels %)) OK, I understand pixel interpolation is useful in printed media production, but on displays... Win95 still looks great to me.
Basically, when you are rich the same opinions you had when you were poor now matter.

The new Sanapdragon Thinkpads released a month ago are on par with the Comet Lake i7 CPUs so I'd not write them down that quickly

Note that this doesn’t disable MDM entirely: it disables adding new MDM profiles after its enabled (I’d hope there’s a “do you trust the existing one with your life?” prompt…) which seems like a reasonable compromise for preventing spear phishing to install new profiles.

In fact, a big chunk of UK pubs are owned by global PE funds.
I'm no fan of ads, but I would still contest that. The pre-Internet advertising arsenal was all remarkably blunt weapons (newspaper ads, TV, radio, direct mail) that made targeting very difficult and were out of reach or not economic for countless businesses. Now anybody can buy precisely targeted impressions for any keyword under the sun and very closely track their performance, opening up entirely new markets.
>>>people will go there regardless as it is the most stunning city in the world

I think that's overselling it. Greatly. I took a day trip to Venice from Ljubljana to meet family there. The whole place reeked of sewage, and the crowds of aimlessly meandering tourists were stifling. Like most tourist traps, it felt shallow, with little to offer beyond staring at old buildings, tons of shops selling worthless trinkets, and pricey restaurants. I wanted to try mingling with the locals more, but wasn't able to quickly find information on nightclubs/raves/etc. in the immediate area.

I took some nice pictures, rode in the gondola, went to dinner, then returned to LJ. I actually wish I had spent more time in Trieste, Zagreb, or had linked up with a casual acquaintance all the way in Zurich. My dad paid for everything we did while IN the city, but if I was spending my own money I would probably never return to Venice. So an entry tax is definitely a "nope" for me.
They bought it from Ford when they decide to desinvest from their European luxury brands (after Jaguar didn't manage to compete with BMW).

It's good for Germany, not for France.
Germany is selling electricity to France when prices are high, and buying when prices are low. And it is selling way more than buying.

Additionally, France is reducing the nuclear power share. Not by decommissioning working plants, but simply by not building as many new plants as would be necessary to keep the share.
Thinkpads have matte (upto 4k) displays, very good Linux support and are around 2000 USD/EUR.
and the safety, efficacy and all of the claims/statements from pfizer et. al. are trustworthy.

Look it up again, in western clinical trials it performed as well as was expected 70% or so efficacy as was claimed with almost no identified serious side effects. Of course the data at the start was optimistic, but then in the west it was portrayed as 1000% safe by proponents despite the growing number of lawsuits for the 0.001% of cases where it was extremely NOT.
anyone fishmans long season?
They've sued Fisker, Rivian, Zoox, Xiaopeng, and more. Just Google "tesla lawsuit trade secret". Maybe some of those cases were legitimate, but were all of them? I doubt it. They seem to sue anybody who goes to a competitor, unless that person has a very low profile.
I'm curious, do you at least get paid for all this effort? Do you work remotely or commute to the office?
I have seen description like this so many times, but no guide seems to describe exactly how everything is done in decentralised way.

"The validators for each slot are assigned to committees". By whom? Also what if there is network partition for these 12 seconds. It's not very unlikely that some country could be completely cutoff from the internet for some time due to anything from natural or political reasons. Could there be recovery after this? At least in PoW, it is clear on what could be the possible scenarios.
Well i've read a similar report to what you're attaching from another privacy focused analytics.

They argue that it's better (?) because your website will be faster.

"This is because Fathom’s tracking code is super-lightweight and blazingly-fast to load. Our tracker file is tiny whilst Google Analytics’ file is much larger. This is a little funny, because Google’s search engine rewards faster sites, so a case could be made that using Fathom instead of Google for your analytics could potentially increase your page rank in their own search engine!"
re the CPT codes--
27486 and 27487 are for total knee revisions, not for a first-time replacement. 27486 is used if you only revise 1 component (ie the femoral side or the tibial side). 27487 is billed when both components are revised.
It doesn't need any extensions to work, the only reason `OverloadedStrings` is enabled in the tutorial is because the parser uses `Text` over `String` to parse the input.
In my opinion the difference that Hinton students made was using GPUs to run deep learning models. First in 2010, when publishing Theano at NIPS, making deep learning on a single computer node with a large GPUs very approachable ( using a Python framework, precursor to TensorFlow). Then in 2012, with Alex Krizhevsky masterfully using two GPUs to build the landmark model AlexNet, which outperformed traditional computer vision models and was easy to use in practice.
The article is claiming that slavish devotion to DRY results in issues. You are giving names to the issues resulting and calling the article bad.
What exactly do you ask an ML emgineer? In my experience if we ask 10 people of the scope of work pf an ML engineer we'll get 10 different answers 9 of which will be all inclusive aka Data Scientist that can also do robust production systems.

Dragged out kicking and screaming would be more accurate.
I started off like you on the backend development. When I had to build small webapps, I looked at the various frameworks and then settled on KnockoutJS. KnockoutJS is a very small and simple JS library. This is several years ago and at that time I didn't even know Javascript. The reason I say that is because even for a JS newbie, the KnockoutJS library was simple to use. (I read somewhere that MS Azure used KnockoutJS for their frontend dashboards in their earlier version. Not sure if they still do.)

If you are comfortable with plain HTML + CSS + Javascript, adding KnockoutJS will give you a minimal app building capability that you will find useful for several usecases.

You get to manage your application's data model in javascript on the client side and the UI can be bound to your datamodel (bidirectionally) without having to manage it yourself. That is more than sufficient for many usecases.

If you don't want to be fiddling around with CSS too much, you can use something like Bootstrap or Material Design's CSS templates to get some decent looking UI (without getting lost in CSS minutiae).

For your development workflow, start without any bundler (like WebPack or Parcel) first. Once, you have your application working, you can then introduce it as a final step.
It’s probably the case that there’s a reasonable middle ground somewhere between zero tourists and several cruise ships per day of tourists.
Any of the Tuxedo laptops with Omnia display. They can be configured pretty high-end. https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/Linux-Hardware/Linux-Note...
The problem is the bait-and-switch. All the really good stuff is behind a second paywall. The movies you really want to watch cost extra money to rent and "more" extra money to "buy." I'm paying for the cake, but then getting charged extra for the icing. It's really starting to irritate me.
Using newest XPS 15 and am really happy everything works (you have to run newest Kernel though). I am using Ubuntu. Even the Bluetooth microphone and fingerprint work !! Haha

It is used by and marketed to both populations.

No problem and no idea where that comes from.
I just like modal editing, and know vi keybindings for the most part. Those bindings are also mostly consistent whether I'm in Intellij, VS Code, or some random Unix machine.

I'm sure some vim expert would be annoyed at my mouse usage, but like you said, there are tons of useful features exposed.

I feel lucky that I don't feel the need to "own" any particular movie. I'm content enough to rent it. I rarely want to watch the same movie again more than once every few years. In my case, it's much cheaper to rent on demand than to digitally "buy" it.

Of course, some movies exist exclusively on platforms like Netflix. If I want to watch something bad enough, then I'll go ahead and pay for one month, which is again cheaper than buying outright. And then I'll usually suck up all the other exclusive content that month, so it doesn't feel too much like a rip off. It's still annoying though.
These strategies exist in documents, probably many, many versions of them. If you care, you can get your hands on them and read them. You can talk to these managers and find out more. But if you're so disconnected from the strategising and planning processes, there probably isn't any point.
Should tech founders get the hell out of Europe?
Are you serious?

I mean, of course, I also like short compile times... but since when are they considered a serious cost? What are we talking about? Seconds? Minutes? Hours?

Are you using your compiler as a syntax checker? Always compiling everything all the time?

Especially since you compile once, what you run a million times and now that everyone is running around with what would have been considered a supercomputer decades ago in their backpack, and a half in their pocket.

Of course I think stuff should compile fast (that's why we use Make, CMake, ninja, etc.) but I would never chose C over C++ because of compile times... Code that requires high mental load and solving the same stupid things again, and again, and again... still costs more time than my compiler can get me back IMO.
And with that, millions and billions of users get profiled, their private information taken away and processed by those two companies, as ads get embedded into everything (even lockscreens it seems)
I am using Retool for that. Pretty happy. It is true drag and drop. Looks decent and there has been nothing I couldn't build with it.
EE is interesting for CS too. I studied technical CS and we had a lot of EE theory. But I cannot layout a board at all, just pick components and letting people do the layout and routing. I would have loved to have a module about the latter even if that may not fit university too well. I wasn't too interested in permanently exited asynchronous motors with constant stator voltages. I'll buy the next servo I find in a catalogue for all my needs anyway.
I'm also curious to know where you think he goes wrong, it's pretty well acknowledged at this point that economics is generally not a zero-sum game
I wonder if they're referring to how some countries are on the way to be able to generate 100% of their electricity through green methods and not need to buy it from other countries anymore, which would probably have positive effects for the population cost-wise.
The python binding is very popular.

NSO Group's zero click exploit for iphones involved images. specifically using the PNG compression algorithm to use the logic gate sequence of the CPU to compile and execute a new process that allowed for escape

If that's the level of sophistication this is to guard against, then it seems like it should include a block of images
The paper receipt is in your drawer somewhere, you cannot provide it when you're crossing a border and need to convince the security thug that you do in fact own all those movies.

An NFT, on the other hand, can be looked up by anyone, anywhere.

I don't know what is so difficult to understand about this. The NFT receipt solves a lot of problems that a paper receipt simply makes worse.
people do pay for vitamins, but very few buy a vitamin because they NEED it. They buy it because it sounds like a good idea to get healthy. People buy pain killers because they have a very serious problem to solve directly affecting their QOL.

Rather than being limited by console-based rendering, it could do the heavy lifting... like being able to render a markdown file natively with different font sizes.
Good. Should be priced 10x higher for cruise ships and their passengers.
Europe but not EU can mean anything from Switzerland to Bosnia and Herzegovina to Moldova to Belarus, so it could be good or pretty bad.
>lower cost to make and faster to develop.

Maybe the latter, certainly not the former. Otherwise that's like saying nuclear power is free once we've built the reactor. There are no magical 3d printers which will make an mRNA style treatment on demand and if there ever was the price tag would have more zeros than the average house.

Where to draw the line on mRNA style or not is clearly dependent on person to person as because of so many years of bad PR/press from biomed industry it's like saying what a datalake is to a storage expert and expecting them to know what you mean.
Check out System76 laptops, they have matte displays (at least my Lemur Pro does)
That allows Europeans to migrate to other EU countries to work without requiring visas. It doesn't give them free entry into tourist attractions.

I don't know about those professions. But the job of manager or marketing/salesperson at least gives you interpersonal skills.

I believe it's reasonable for him to request a citation if significant results of his works are quoted.

LeCun would probably also be upset if he read about his work in the newspaper, but mis-attributed to someone else.

Also, millions in funding money depend on stuff like this. If LeCun can pretend to be the inventor, he gets the grant money. If Schmidhuber gets the citation he seeks, he can use that to apply for new funding. So it's not just prestige, these citation issues have a large monetary impact, too.

Are you talking about the Johnson and Johnson vaccine that was made using traditional (proven safe) technology?

Nothing is without risk. They determined the risk/benefit ratio wasn’t worth it because the vaccine wasn’t very effective (especially compared to the mRNA vaccines)

The beauty of vim is it has a rich feature set and is ubiquitous. The problem with the other vim inspired apps is they aren’t there!

A couple of years ago I helped a friend out with moving some stuff off an ancient Solaris database server somehow still in production.

Doesn't exactly look very slim, Bob. I'm not expecting Macbook Air level slimness but we can definitely do better than this. I'm not a fan of older display technology as well. A glossy 1080p screen just isn't good enough anymore. I need more pixel density so I can have more code up on screen (sure, at smaller perceived font sizes). It's almost like all these Linux laptop makers are using older, discarded, excess inventory the factories had lying around.

> very good Linux support

Writing this from a X1 Gen9, I wouldn't call the following "very good". Not sure if it's already fixed in new firmware (and couldn't google the support forum right away), but I had to

* switch sleep mode to stop it from getting hot while asleep;

* disable touchpad in BIOS to stop it from spinning fans while awake — great for me because I don't like it anyway and vastly prefer the trackpoint, but people not used to this consistently go wtf while trying to show something on my laptop.
International travel for one, not to mention lots of places keeping bad policy/rules which are going to take years to be removed again in a lot of cases.

As others have said, smooth, crisp font rendering. I’ve been using high DPI displays for almost 10 years now and would never consider going back. Using a 1440 monitor, say, feels to me like using a machine with a floppy disk: an anachronism.

My wife though swears she cannot tell the difference and doesn’t care which she uses. This boggles my mind and is actually a bit frustrating to me, but that’s my problem.

So, I’m interested in if you can tell the difference but don’t care or if it’s something else.

I’ve always used a Mac though, maybe that’s the difference? Never seen Linux/Windows in 4K.

I find it funny, how social media created even more hate against the rich... especially movie stars.

Before social networks, the rich and famous (from large businessmen to moviestars) had tv interviews and large newspaper articles, where whole PR teams went over the questions, the answers, the article itself, and made things "look god" for the rich/famous person.

Now, with social media, you have (eg.) people suffering due to lockdowns, and Madonna posts a video in a milky bathtub complaining about crap, Gal Gadot does a really bad singing job and sings "imagine" ("...imagine no posessions...") while people are literally going broke an hungry, and Elon Musk posts a tweet and half of crypto goes up/down, depending on whats in the tweet.
