Nuclear has generally done a terrible job of offsetting fossil fuels, because it doesn't scale to 100% carbon free grid.

It can reasonably offset coal, but needs peaking powerplants to meet customers variable demand. Which means it comes into conflict with much cheaper but less reliable wind and solar.

Solving that isn’t simple a question of solving say construction costs. We need to downsize from a 1,000 person workforce at a large scale power plant, and dramatically reduce insurance costs, and dramatically reduce construction costs, and dramatically reduce refueling costs, and dramatically reduce maintenance costs, and dramatically reduce decomisiniong costs. The less any one of those gets cut the more the others must be.

Consider, scheduled maintenance on a nuclear power plant is several weeks at a time. That’s ok if seasonal demand drops significantly and you have other sources to pick-up the slack but the higher your nuclear percentage the larger problem this becomes. It's issues like that which is why most countries have sub 40% nuclear generation and have been like that for decades.
Sounds like you think you wanted a stable, comfortable life, but what you really want is something else. Try things to see what makes you feel invigorated. And note that what those things are, may change over time, and may require sacrifice of what you have today.
You're trying to draw a distinction that doesn't exist.

The Allies said to Germany they wanted unconditional surrender. The Germans agreed. Various terms were agreed to including the cessation of military operations (on both sides). This is, by definition, a negotiated agreement ie diplomacy.

Putting the highly questionable ethics of the two atomic bombings of Japan aside for a second, these bombings like any military operation are ultimately a negotiation tactic.

Not an expert on the matter, but I don't think there is any aggression against tourists. It's more against French officials and then against each others because of disagreements about whether and how to act for independence. For a completely touristy program you might not notice until something bad happens just that day (unlikely).

But more knowledge means more pain. If you don't know about it you might not learn until maybe you study the local newpapers (which I like to do if I am in a new place) and start wondering about some things not well explained. And I tend to react very sensitively to such things. I visited Spain as small schoolkid during Franco's dictatorship. I staid in a family I knew from before and was taken care of perfectly. Still seeing the Guardia Civil (paramilitary troops being especially loyal to the dictator) every day made me feel somehow unspecificly uncomfortable. It took me several years to even learn what dictatorship or democracy even mean. I had the same feeling later when travelling in the GDR or visiting Belfast (for work) just months after peace. If there is a reason to go there I make a rational risk assessment. If I just want to go there to explore and enjoy the place, I'd rather skip. I guess good for them if other tourists place the bar a bit lower.
Why are you entitled to the name Chris, I already know someone with that name.
Consumption is lower at night pretty much everywhere, so it's not true we need 50% consumption in storage.

Additionally, it's obvious there are many other things we can do besides just match current consumption with renewables. We can and must mandate less wasteful consumption. Anyone who has flown at night in a window seat knows just how much energy is being wasted on completely pointless night time signage and lighting for businesses that are closed, as just one small example.

Regardless, nuclear and its permanent poisoning of the earth is not the answer.
Try eating low calorie density foods. These let you eat more volume with fewer calories. I've lost ~80lbs over the last year largely through going low calorie density.

Largely: Salads and roasted veggies like sweet potatoes, broccoli, radishes, carrots, squash. Fruits like apples, grapes, blueberries, strawberries.

The low calorie density foods helped make it so I really wasn't hungry.

> you aren't even aware of the bottom percentile until the first exam is graded.

The first exam that students in test-prep schools take is before classes start, usually a mock university test that can be used precisely to assess your current level and to gather information about the class overall.

You don't need to know who are the worst performers. But if you know that your class of 250 has an uneven distribution of aptitude, you'd try to break the class apart.
Can you provide a complete working example? I'm just getting "incorrect syntax near !" with both mssql and sqlanywhere.

Looking at [1] just now, it seems overwhelmingly oriented toward answering the question "How do I get in?". Scarcely at all toward "What can the school deliver to the student?" -- only relevant measure is Median Earnings.

The fine print:

>The median annual earnings of individuals that received federal student aid and began college at this institution 10 years ago, regardless of their completion status.

So for the anxious parent, not a lot to go on.
How did the measure the curvature of the universe?
Judging from downvotes, many Kim Jong Um supporters here
> The largest the universe could have been at the time is 2 billion light-years across if the universe expanded at the speed of light after the Big Bang.

That is the first mistake in your train of thought, the universe doesn't expand "at the speed of light", it is not a ball expanding outwards with an outer shell expanding at a measurable speed.

Instead it expands everywhere all at once, all distances are being stretched. And this streatching doesn't have a "speed" (m/s), there is nothing traveling, so it is not bound by the speed of light. Instead it has a rate of expansion (m/m/s) as in how much each meter will grow in a second.

Sorry, I'm not an expert so I don't know how to explain properly.
CICO is axiomatically true, but the problem is CI is easy to measure and CO isn't.

Different people use different amounts of calories to do the same things (including sitting around), and different people extract different amount of calories from the input. Some people can extract calories from PF Chang or Buca di Beppo, but not me. Weight control by eating foods that go straight through sounds terrible though.

I suspect you're right.

I also suspect they'll be about as successful in getting regulatory approval for a "novel interface" for driving as the Dvorak keyboard has proven to be in supplanting qwerty.

Unless Apple assumes all the risk, and the people inside just become passengers in a device insured by Apple, there are way too many outdated and complex multi jurisdictions rules about things like steering wheels, brake pedals, and driving positions. The number of laws that'd require changing here in Australia to allow me to buy and "drive" one of these without a steering wheel or brake pedal is staggering.

(Maybe it'll only be for people like Jobs, who can afford workarounds and lawyers to avoid having number plates on their cars?)
This is why it is really just Harvard (likely Stanford, Yale, and Princeton too, but definitely Harvard) that can make a statement boycotting the list, just like a billionaire can get away with wearing a plastic $10 watch but mere millionaires feel the need to wear a Rolex to show off their money. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if Harvard did the least to game the US News metrics of any top 25 university, because the US News staff would just tweak their formula to keep Harvard in the top 5 regardless.
So we have gone from DQN to Alpha Go to Alpha Zero to Mu Zero to Deep Nash?

Not quite. It's 16 unless with someone in a position of trust, e.g. your school teacher, social worker, doctor or care worker. A person under 18 cannot legally consent to that in UK.
One can eat 2 kilograms of boiled potatoes, refrigerated, cut into very thin slices and then air-fried at 400F for 15-20 minutes with a drizzle of avocado or extra-virgin olive oil. Some rosemary too.
An overall increase of about 150 calories per kilogram compared to boiled potatoes only.

The flavor is similar to that of French fries and they are an excellent substitute (I say this as someone who when asked what would be his last meal would answer: french fries).
LOL.

But, conversely, much of the support the Black Legend theory sees today is just whitewashing of actual historical atrocities.
I really like the section on initial piece deployment:

> The Flag is almost always put on the back row, and often protected by Bombs. Occasionally,
however, DeepNash will not surround the Flag with Bombs. Experts (e.g. Vincent de Boer,
3-fold World Champion) believe that it is indeed good to occasionally not protect the Flag
because this unpredictability makes it harder for the opponent in the end-game. Another pattern
observed is that the highest pieces, the 10 and 9, are often deployed on different sides of the
board. Additionally, the Spy is quite often located not too far away from the 9 (or 8), which
protects it against the opponent’s 10. DeepNash does not often deploy Bombs on the front row,
which complies with the behavior seen from strong human players. The 3’s (Miner), which can
defuse Bombs, are often placed on the back row, which makes sense because their importance
typically increases throughout a game as more opponent Bombs and potential Flag positions get
revealed. The eight 2’s (Scout) are typically deployed both in the front and more in the back,
allowing to scout opponent pieces initially but also in later phases of the game.
There should be places in the 'deep' watershed that are getting their water from somewhere else.

Not taking a side on this, but those are all heavily lagging indicators. IE, those are all almost 30 years after college. The current ranking can be highly different from what it was a generation ago.
I just went through the pain of setting up FreeIPA and I wish I saw this first. It's not that FreeIPA was difficult to setup it's that it's immensely complex with lots of parts and little documentation. Ultimately, all I really wanted was the LDAP part for a basic directory service and authentication. Definitely going to be taking a closer look at this, thank you for sharing!
Building a nuclear power plant today is assuming storage for solar and wind will not be figured out within 50 years, allowing you to sell electricity at todays price for at least this time. You can see why no one wants to take that bet. It's over, it was already over 10 years ago, stop trying to fit every crisis around a "nuclear was unfairly maligned" obsession.

There's no reason to believe that "being really smart" lets you do things better, much less that it gives you magic powers over other people's telescopes. Evil superintelligent AI deities are inventions of people whose egos are attached to the idea that they're the "most intelligent" and don't want to lose the title they gave themselves.
Berkeley has been doing this for at least 35 years.
FAF is good. A shame the gigantic maps are impossible to really enjoy though, there's a sweet spot with supcom between too big and too small where it works really well, but outside of that it falls apart. I find the late game incredibly boring because of how slow it can be, but the mid-game to the first cheaper experimentals is super fun.

Also, balancing air. It seems to be impossible to make it fun or balanced at the final tier.

As far as I know common targets for malicious packages are crypto (mining, wallet swiping), and credentials (SSH, package repositories), none of which is limited to businesses. There's been some cases of politically motivated sabotage lately but mostly from the maintainer themselves so far - expect more of that though.

Often a compromised package will try to steal more credentials from downstream users. [1] I don't doubt that threat actors all the way from script kiddies to nation states are keeping a stash of credentials to package repositories, and it's going to suck for everyone when they decide to use them.

At some point in the future, we will have plants that essentially perform "alchemy" using nuclear transition state probability tables (the nuclear version of the chemistry done on an industrial scale today). The power cost will be high, but energy tends to only get cheaper in the long run, especially with fusion on the horizon. This will present a solution to the radioactive waste created by today's fission plants as well as unlock untold possibilities with rare and exotic elemental isotopes.

You need to mask out the bright star with a coronagraph and then the planet needs to be big/bright enough. Even then you will just see a dot as this ESO telescope image shows. However using spectroscopy they can deduce the composition of the planet atmosphere.

Correct, though there is a huge demand for gold currently. Russia was buying 150 tonnes a year from 2008-2020; annual global demand is 4,000 metric tons. Even without selling it or shipping it, they could likely use it to secure debts to China example.

In California, schools get paid on daily attendance. I believe it would be considered fraud to not take daily attendance. They suspended this during the heart of the pandemic but it came back last fall. Because daily attendance is down relative to pre pandemic, Public schools are facing a significant revenue gap (5-10% is typical)

You're taking me a little too literally, I'm not saying that the public is being duped. Of course this is a new image from JWST. And this comment isn't really for general public consumption or to deflate the general public's enthusiasm for the achievement.

I'm just saying that the field benefits from new discoveries that seem just like old discoveries being embraced by the general public even though they won't really know the full difference or underlying science. I think every field has this to some extent.

So, ok, here you go -- I will take you up on your challenge. Which one of these is from the UDF 15 years ago, and which is from today's announcement?

You can't own central bank reserves at all, but all banks accept them for money transfers from other banks. That's how money transfers between banks work and being able to do that is why you have a bank account at all. Paying for things this way is as money as it gets.
Aren’t the rays of lights that makes a star pattern in the images an artifact of how JWST is capturing the light? Shouldn’t that be scrubbed and removed?

The big bang didn't expand from a single point explosion.

The big bang happened literally everywhere in the universe.

The size of the universe both now and at essentially the time of the big bang (or some infinitesimal time after whatever happened at the exact singularity) was infinite.

The energy-density though was much higher, and the universe has stretched so that distant points in the universe were much closer together back then.

The fact that we see galaxies traveling away from us very quickly at high redshift is due to the expansion of space. Those galaxies are going to be stationary on average when measured locally.

It is like you are standing next to someone but you both see each other moving away from you because something is inserting more and more rulers between you.

The insertion of the rulers in that picture is also how the energy density drops over time because there's more and more space between all the stuff, so the density drops, and the temperature drops.

But the big bang happened here 13.7 billion years ago or so, and the big bang also happened 13 billion light years away out there, roughly 700 million years before that light left (ish).

Calling it a "bang" is really the wrong word to use. Its really the big adiabatic cooling where the size of the container just keeps on getting bigger.

And that is probably not the whole picture since there's also inflation in the early Universe to talk about when the Higgs mechanism(s) broke and released a pile of energy and blew the universe up very quickly.

Dall-E was amazing in that it showed good image generation worked at all, but nothing else actually uses its model architecture - even craiyon/dalle-mini which is popular right now is pretty different.

Although, I have access to DALL-E 2 and I have to say it's not as great as it looks. It is not productizable as is and couldn't replace an artist. It can't do text, the art styles change wildly and aren't controllable, image quality degrades with longer prompts, and most importantly their training data has everything vaguely interesting censored out of it.

Which is surprising since GPT-3 is very complete and a little too uncensored. Not sure if they think visuals are worse or they just have a lot of extra ethicists messing with it now.
There's your answer: mashed potato.

Not only did you boil the potato, but you pre-chewed it too. Mashed potato is about as close as you can get to refined potato (potato flour). What you've created is easily digestable amylopectin - pre-chewed, already gelatinized and suspension with water. The amylase in your saliva can mix extremely well with mashed potatoes, and within minutes that amylopectin will be available as glucose. Maybe you mix in a little fat with butter or oil, but probably not much.

Vs. more or less any other potato cooking method. Even though the starch will have gelatinized with the water present in the potatoe, the potato's structure is more intact than boiling & mashing. Even after chewing the starch is not as well mixed with water, and this will take longer to digest.

We don't eat much mash in our house.
Potatoes are more filling per calorie than broccoli? Spinach?

Also I wonder the comparison between potatoes and protein champions like hard-boiled eggs or fish. Maybe we could have a nice American eating competition to compare. Or just a detailed study where people eat short-term diets of each and measure their satiety and other vitals.
