Is there documentation for rolling your own?

I've been considering building my own search engine for a while for my niche topic which has <50 websites and blogs on the web.

I can't tell how useful this will be but it'd be fun to give it a go.
AFAIK nuclear output can be controlled only in a certain range, but if you go below a certain threshold it shuts off and you then have to restart it, which takes a lot of time.

Coal has a similar issue, these plants also can't be turned on and off quickly. In fact, the term "base load" originally was driven more by the minimum amount of power that has to be consumed to keep a plant running. Only now with the move to renewables with varying output the meaning has shifted to the consumption side of things.

Gas plants however can be turned on and off and easily, they work similar to aircraft engines. In Germany, the heat produced is then used for district heating, which gives these plants almost perfect efficiency. It's not a coincidence that Germany picked gas as supplement for renewables during the transition to 100% green energy. Gas (in the form of hydrogen directly ~ methane made from hydrogen) is also a key contender for very long term energy storage (in Germany, you have to save energy produced in the summer for use in winter, the batteries needed for that would be roughly in the order of ~50 million Tesla Model S (100kWh) batteries). The cost of overbuilding renewables and storing the energy in gas, with a lower round-trip efficiency, seems to be lower than building the big battery that would be needed.
Wind is also better in winter than solar, which is why wind is such an important and hot topic in Germany. Solar doesn't bother anyone, but wind turbines are huge and people can see them in the landscape. Solar does not have this problem, but during the winter, the output goes down to almost nothing.

"And if that wasn't enough, one of the largest exporters of uranium to the EU is... Russia."

To be more precise: 5 countries represent 96% of EU uranium imports: Niger (24,26%), Kazakhstan (22,99%), Russia, Australia and Canada.

A country like France has 1-2 years of uranium stock for its electricity production.

Dependence on Russia is way less critical for uranium than gas.

Good morning, HN. Please note that SearchHut is not done or in a presentable state right now, and those who were in the know were asked not to share it. Alas. I had planned to announce this next week, after we had more time to build up a bigger index, add more features, fix up the 404's and stub pages, do more testing, and so on, so if you notice any rough edges, this is why.

I went ahead and polished up the announcement for an early release:

They still didn't recommend it, rather mentioned along lines saying the author is not an angel and was well aware of bribes. Although I do find it surprising The Economist even mentioned the case.

Thank you for pointing that out.
>Alphago, and similar, are all examples of ML systems exceeding their training data

Alphago basically generated its own training data (hence, "exceeding" is not correct) because the domain was amenable to a specific form of reinforcement learning. Programming isn't such a domain.
You are right - thank you for pointing that out.

There's a difference between peak energy production at noon in summer and let's say 10 pm on christmas eve. And yes, the energy grid probably won't collapse in winter, removing 12-16 GW of baseload power will have a strong effect on prices though. Phasing out nuclear could have been fine, it's just that we didn't have any plan to replace it (again, mind the difference between base load and intermittent power production), e.g. no large-scale storage solutions planned whatsoever, which makes us reliant on gas, coal and the EU grid to match supply and demand.
Just another SEO magic trick, not knowing article date increase chances that someone will click -> impressions -> advertisers are happy -> publishers gets paid -> end user doesn't matter for getting old and most of the time outdated info
Try searching with “remodelling”, “cold winters”, etc?
That's easily fixed by relying only on protected or high-profile pages. Those already deal (mostly successfully) with spam and NPOV violations on a daily basis, so piggybacking on those protection mechanisms should yield a fairly high-quality pool of curated external links.

> why one would believe a search engine with a hand picked set of domains would be expected to outcompete a search engine that can crawl the entire web and determines reputation by itself.

Because SEO manipulation is a well developed field, ensuring that the search engines trying to determine reputation automatically will (and does) end up with bad results.
Note that while coal is ramped up again, it still constitutes only up to ~20% of total energy production.

Except they didn't block that. Both sources are now qualified as green, gas however only as use for easing the transition.
You could say it's in the Garbage stage (though Garbage is a bit harsh for a product that is built in a week).
I think the revenues will shrink to Russia ultimately as europe will cut its dependancy on gas, but in the short term, the squeeze on gas supply created a price hike that more than offset the reduced volumes for Russia. That may continue and finance Russia’s war.
"The reason natural gas is a problem right now is not that we have insufficient energy."

Yeah, I stopped reading here. This is just a flat out untruth. I'm sorry if this article doesn't agree with how you wish the world could be, but simply saying things like this that aren't true doesn't help.
How did this piece of fiber get burnt to a crisp? (Hint: lasers)
Nuclear energy is very cool tech and I think it strikes a chord with techie people and that's why I think nuclear gets a free pass on the economical and operational issues.

Nuclear is so amazing, right? Relatively small, high tech self-contained facilities that rhyme with some of the best science fictions out there.

However, the moment you dive in it you see just how long it gets to build these things, how expensive they get with with each safety failure and you get to see the unsexy parts of it like mining and processing the raw materials and then the nuclear waste that just sits there waiting to be transferred to its final destination.

Working with Russia didn't have to be a bad thing. What makes EU great(you can argue over the other functions of EU) is the peace it creates through co-dependence and shared interest and Russia was very well suited to benefit from it. Russia provides the resources, EU pays for those resources and Russia buys stuff from EU with that money and as a result Europeans get the energy and Russians get the European goods. It's a win-win relationship that fell apart when the head of Russia did not needed to provide with a well being any longer to stay as a head.

I personally wish Russia had stayed a partner. It makes sense to be co-depended with partners but as Europe got the short end of the stick as the relationship fell apart it only makes sense offset any dependence to Russia even at a cost.
> Unless the right masks are worn correctly 100% of the time, which lets be honest is not happening.

That argument doesn't make any sense. Why would masks have to be worn correctly 100% of the time, otherwise it's theater?

If a type of mask works well at 100% use, it probably also works pretty well at 85% use.
Kind of, it has a lot lignite mining and still some proper coal. If things last longer it certainly has lignite for quite a while and still thermal coal mining.

It's a solved problem for Germany. Electrolyze Hydrogen, store it in the existing gas infrastructure for the winter. Use the gas plants to burn it in the winter.

The irony is that the parent is stating a lot of inaccuracies or straight-up falsehoods, while ending with:

> This is why as a journalist or a writer, it is important to confirm “what you know” before committing it to a piece. If you don’t verify everything you risk perpetuating myths instead of realities.

I hazard to suggest the parent has not so much as read a biography of Van Gogh before posting such authoritative-sounding misinformation that is then silently edited to align with comments.
Sounds to me like your girlfriend is worth having self-respect for.
That's why France got an exception from sanctions made for a uranium delivery from Russia.
Nope, 100% green energy in the hands of the citizens.
So at the quoted 40mi/day for very good sun areas, that's almost exactly your average mileage.

More realistically most will get half that, so will have to get slightly more than half their power from a charger.

Sounds like a fraction to me.

The key difference between the aptera and other versions of similar concepts is they focused on making the vehicle as efficient as possible first. The thing barely uses more energy than a bicycle if the (very reasonable) claims about cd and weight are to be believed.

You'd never power a typical ICE car on 3kWh/day, or even something more efficient like a tesla or small electric motorcycle. But if you start with the most efficient vehicle possible, then you can make it work.
This is repeated over and over again, but you have to shut them down ( or heavily sanitize ), because stuff under radiation fire just ages even more quickly than (simplified) normal ""rusting"".. just look at the increased maintenances that risk in France they get blackouts even they compensate via imports?

Just few days ago there was a documetary in ARD, a neutral one, about building back plants to green lawn, the cost and the almost century long effort to build them back that is ridiculous (multiple billions) , that is usually never priced in.

Speaking of cost I found it surprising again how much just building even the new ones is.. I mean they had to compare to a dam to find something worse, wtf? ( https://www.westerninvestor.com/british-columbia/saskatchewa... )

And then also that even if we accept all those downsides, the unsolved waste problem, (yeah a lot of people will give me armchair proposals or the new non-existing reactors that would just eat everything and leave nothing behind... not), that it is not cost competitive, the risk (yes, you tell me Russians are stupid, Fukushima was an exception, 3mile and other incidents were perfectly avoided, but please consider also war and terror), there just wouldn't be enough fuel for the whole word to go all-in (yeahyeh we just scrub it from the sea.. in theory, as much as we could just get all the drinking water from the sea or scrub all the CO2 from the atmosphere with current tech..).

But even if you ignore that again and believe it will be fine, even then if the world would now decide to go all in, the time it takes to build means it wouldn't even make a dent in 15 years - WHICH IS TOO LATE.

We could have avoided a lot if the world went all in renewables the 20-30 years back where we already knew what was coming.. and this is the most surprising thing to me. We could do so much suddenly in regard to Pandemic and now the war.. but in relation to the climate catastrophe they are minor annoyances, still we don't start acting but deter us constantly from the right thing by dreaming of the assumed easy nuclear solution out. Humans!!!

I derailed, sorry. But it will be bad, and nuclear just wont help even a bit.
Good points. Germany has long been warned from so many sources (both domestic and international) that something like this situation could happen, yet they ran full speed and head first into it anyway.

Last 10 gigawatts of shut down reactors were all finished in 80's and probably had half of their design age left, all the really old were shut down already in nineties.
how about: Nearly half of Gen Z relevant content are generated from Tiktok and Instagram.
Just to make things clear: Nuclear energy is just cheap because it gets massively funded by the state.

Nuclear power plants are the most expensive way of generating energy and the least sustainable way.

We don't even have a good way to dispose nuclear waste. We were checking for a "Endlager" which means a place to hoard all the nuclear waste for hundreds of thousands of years. Guess what? No one wanted it.

Bavaria tried to keep themselves out of possible regions for waste disposal, while going full PR pro-nuclear.

So nuclear power plants are basically neither a long term solution, nor a short term solution.
Uh ... That brought up some buried memories. GORILLAS.BAS and NIBBLES.BAS

The fact that the ranking of results for queries that have nothing to do with location-based services depends on where you are located (and, possibly, on whether or not you are logged in) is one of the worst things about Google. And the fact that you can't seem to disable that behavior is even worse.
Yeah, that problem didn't even exist already pre pandemic, right?
Btw, you believe you can maintain those plants forever?
Convention over configuration is really the future, but not everything follows that philosophy. For example, OCaml codebases are basically a free for all and you can organize things however you want. So with that in mind, you need something to organize and build.
Multicore is not common at all in embedded, so there is no point in supporting that in this type of project. And even if you are in "fat" embedded (Raspi etc.), you might want to use just only one core anyway so that your system can do other things efficiently (or use less power).

For interpreters like this, what you should be looking for is not direct support for this or that, but how easy it is to write bindings for that interpreter. In my opinion, what Lua offers is the yardstick there.

Oh, and don't stop at FFI support. FFI is IMO generally the worst option as it introduces a lot of overhead both at programming time and/or at runtime.

I have a personal interpreter - it's not Lisp-based but Forth-based (rule 48: everytime Lisp is mentioned on a forum, someone mentions Forth and vice-versa) - that is very easy to extend with libraries. I actually use it sometimes to experiment with libs. I have dabbled with most of the examples you give (and more).

For tiny interactive interpreters aimed at embedded (otherwise for most people there's no point in the "smallest possible thing that can..."), what you should be looking for is not spoon-fed features, but how much control you have over the runtime. Well, that's my way of thinking for non-embedded stuff too.
> Of course you're going to hear about it, because the response to it trampled on the freedoms and rights of our modern society.

I never got why people who hold this opinion, despite it being an unpopular one, just announce it as if it's universally believed. As if most people don't believe "freedoms and rights" have limitations when they start affecting those of others. You personally believe there should be a different trade-off point than others do, that's all.
They're going for that magic '1000mile range' marketing phrase.

But the industry has tumbled into an unprecedented power crisis as EDF confronts troubles ranging from the mysterious emergence of stress corrosion inside nuclear plants to a hotter climate that is making it harder to cool the aging reactors.

The outages at EDF, Europe’s biggest electricity exporter, have sent France’s nuclear power output tumbling to its lowest level in nearly 30 years, pushing French electric bills to record highs just as the war in Ukraine is stoking broader inflation.

The article also mentioned EDF might need to be nationalized since it's in so much debt, and in fact this was announced a few days ago.

I second this.

I've learned Rust after having used Python, and at first I had a few "wtf" moments, things I just couldn't understand.

Everything fell into place after discussing these with a friend who knows much more about the "nitty-gritty" than I do.
I'd be curious about stories on how to approach potential customers without existing relationships. Do you just cold email them?
Those renewable energy contracts were mostly a scam in my opinion, most of these providers just bought renewable electricity from the stock market when it was cheap and sold it to consumers at a premium, creating zero new renewable capacity in the process. Greenwashing at its finest. And last year when prices for renewables went through the roof due to several unanticipated factors most of them went belly-up and had to "fire" their long-time customers (myself included) because their business models stopped working as they had built zero renewable energy production themselves.

The whole "Energiewende" feels a bit like that: Electricity production was privatized and more than 300 billion € in subsidies went into investors' hands. Now the infrastructure that was created is mostly privately owned and even though renewable energy production currently peaks the prices go through the roof because consumer prices align with the stock market price of electricity and not the cost of production. It really matters how you create renewable energy.
That was my tought, too ;)

They actually didn't.

New plants only qualify as "green investments" if and only if they can be used to burn electrolyzed hydrogen in the future.
Other electric load is negligible.

I do think lack of solar rejection and insulation is a big problem in their value proposition though. And with the solar panels built in you can't even reflect the light.
I agree. Plus the time spent doing this, is time not spent doing actual things.
