For someone like me, who believes the problem is not regulatory approval but the difficulty and cost of the build, I'm no more hopeful than pre-approval. But I have never questioned whether a good design could be conceived and approved.

But if someone thinks that construction/manufacturing is easy and the difficult part is regulatory approval, then perhaps this is cause for hope!

The renewable industry has been scaling at levels that are fairly hard to imagine, and yet people continually doubt its ability to scale fast enough to meet the challenge of the energy transition. SMRs are unfortunately decades behind and haven't even gotten a single device manufactured. So I think there are serious questions about how quickly SMRs could scale up to a GW/year, or 10GW/year, or the TW/year that we really need.
How? You investigate and research!

Tunnels, alternate locations,using solar and wind to generate pump power and once operational, using a dam to supplement the pump with hydroelectric power.

I mean, this is one challenging area where the best and brightest should be well funded to come up with a solution instead of writing them off.

Desalination is not a dream either.

People are fine to talk about colonizing other planets but are so dismissive of acheivable goals like this.

Trillions are spent on wars, a fraction of that can be used to desalinate water or create artificial rivers and tunnels to fill up artificial lakes.

My idea personally has been to build in parallel to the interstar highways and complement it with high speed railways and artificial rivers. The resulting econominc boom will pay for the cost and you don't need to print money, it can be bonded because you charge for the infrasteucture usage (train,power,car charger and water fees).
> There is a relativistic limit, as faster rotation eventually is not possible without adding ludicrous amounts of energy that would make the neutron star too heavy.

That is exactly the kind of thing I'm here for. Spinning so fast that the energy adds more mass than the spinning can counteract. Delightful.
First, anything Adobe. I haven't run Wine in a really long time. Maybe it has progressed with Adobe software runs acceptably now? Don't know, but there have been other non-dev centric and mainly video centric type apps that never worked on Linux. After that, Windows v Apple. For me and what I need to do, Windows loses every. single. time.

Now, I'm an old dog not interested in learning new tricks unless it will absolutely postively without a doubt be money making for me. Doing for the sake of doing is no longer something I'm passionate about. I have other things to spend my time that is much more deserving of my passion. That's what the young kids are for, and then brag about their accomplisments on a Show HN. Then I can decide if it is worthy for me.
One hypothetical killer app for me is the ability to have unlimited displays arranged spatially (the last part is important - virtual desktops on normal displays just don’t work for me), as well as visualisation of complex system states in a way that can make use of our built-in spatial reasoning abilities. You need pretty dang dense VR displays for this, and the old stuff was nowhere close to being usable.

Maybe a different/better idea is to put the text box in a fixed position out of the way of the books themselves. Even without the event problem it obscures the browsing view.
Hydrogen storage exists on PowerPoint slides that usually slightly understate the overhead required to build new, or adapt current gas infrastructure. Spoiler: those problems are not trivial to overcome. That's why they're mostly PowerPoint projects.

Hydro storage works, and along with hydro power, it is usually well exploited in countries that can benefit from it (e.g. alpine). Problem is you tend to run out of valleys and villages to flood after a certain point.

Why chase paper or limited impact solutions when massively available and clean ones already exist?
I don't think that's as much of a contribution to Linux as it is to Windows (or hell, even Android for that matter). Even with that considered, the only change they made was one that was unnecessary on x86 machines. They were basically bringing M1 up to parity.
Why? These are states that are literally deserts yet continue to waste water. Take Phoenix, something like 50% of their residential water use is watering lawns. The state also just got a brand new TSMC fab, presumably with a bunch of tax breaks and guaranteed water - given that the large fabs use around as much water each day as 3-400k homes, it’s rich to turn around and say you need federal aid to get more water.
This is true. But, some places like native grasslands have no other viable economic use other than raising cattle/beef. These grasslands are fed by rainfall so the displacement cost is zero.

Different story when there are competeing interests for the land and inefficient uses (I.e growing alfalfa in a desert) are adapted and cemented into law. It’s complicated no doubt.

You can't grow any of the mediterranean/mid-east fruit or nut trees in the midwest as they are killed by frost. That rules out most of the stuff that California is famous for exporting - almonds, pistachios, citrus. Many of the ones that do grow won't be commercially competitive - the seasons can be short. And of course, unlike corn, you're going to have to find people to pick all this fruit.
But I would wager that those are poor implementations of automatic differentiation, as the property that automatic differentiation works with for loops, if statements, etc. is inherent to automatic differentiation. So differential programming seems like automatic differentiation just implemented properly.

I've written some simple forward-mode automatic differentiation implementations in a few languages, and it's akin to just using a library. It doesn't seem like a paradigm to me.

Reverse-mode automatic differentiation is basically backpropagation. So again, ML seems to just like to rename things. I studied mathematics and have recently been trying to learn some ML. It's pretty annoying that a lot of mathematical terms seem to have been renamed or coopted for something else.

Economic damage is real damage. If you break windows, and the govt has to repair those windows, it has less money to spend on welfare and charity and doing other stuff that a govt wants to do.
The article is concerned with discovery and development of the particular mathematics behind the Standard Model. This has nothing to do with human behavior, which is what is referred to when citing the Laws of Nature.[1] They meant, instead, the Laws of Physics, which more often than not aren't really laws, but theories instead.

Well that's actually much easier. CEOs are paid, by shareholders, for the return on investment they generate for said shareholders. The quality of their work is judged by the return on investment generated every 3 months.
You are asking a large group of people to start using a different term, because a minority want a term that has had specific meaning for decades to have a more broad definition.
This seems great! Would it be possible to add support for unreal engine renders one day?
I would have enjoyed that a lot more if it had any commentary about what those components being installed were, and a ton less "and this is how we boxed them up" ... "ooo, conveyor belts!"
Maybe they changed the guidelines but note they were about politics in livestreams not just any video. You can review everything (including political content) with a simple delay in video discovery, live content is where it's not possible.

It seems like maybe you're just hung up on definitions and/or the inclusion of "cultural" here? It sounds a lot like you're just looking for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Marxism and its various offshoots.

The wikipedia article for a specific set of critiques of Marxism from a bunch of racists is not a good base article for a general/systematic critique of Marxism.
You obviously need to factor in the cost of storage if you want to abruptly replace all electricity generation with solar and wind, but I’m also interested in the question “how much non-renewable power generation can we replace with solar and wind before we even have to start worrying about storage?”
Be careful with dismissing the general idea that drugs can lead to a miserable life since drugs can lead to complete misery. I was going down the street at my downtown the other day. I looked to the side, the side of the sidewalk, and saw someone that had lost all control of his life and was barely hanging on. He was sticking a needle in his arm and was shooting up. He looked like life had chewed him up and spit him out. Up to that point I had only seen it on TV or the movies. This was the first time I had seen it in real life. It was much uglier than I had ever thought it would be. It was shocking to see it. It's very sad that addiction can lead to such circumstances.
I look up words for which I already know the primary definition all the time. Sometimes it's just to confirm that it doesn't mean something subtly different than I remember. Sometimes it's to find alternate/secondary uses. Sometimes it's to confirm spelling. Sometimes it's a jumping off point for synonyms or related words. I wouldn't assume you were totally unfamiliar with a word just because you looked it up.
Is there any region that “lives within its means” for all resources? Why is exporting or importing water so different from electricity, or food, or clothes, or iPhones?

Object oriented programming, for example, doesn't let me have a variable hold half of one object and half of another or let the language derive the code that gave me that object at runtime, but object oriented + differentiable programming does. It's no less of a paradigm than logic, quantum, or probabilistic programming. If you want to, you can view differentiable programming as extending logic programming with a product and chain rule (+ some additional constraints) that allows (smooth, if you want it) interpolation between data and code.

That said, most discussion of differentiable programming is at the level of syntax sugar for reverse mode differentiation, so I can't blame you for that conclusion.

What has really surprised me about this topic is not the regional flamewar stuff in comment threads like this.

Even in the post docker world people were trying to build container platforms on docker that resembled other things but had their own issues. I definitely had to maintain one of those for three years.
Linked article is talking about transferring water farther though. We can pipe desal water west to east instead of fresh water east to west. Either way, AZ needs it from somewhere

California takes 27% of the water from the Colorado River. That's more than Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada combined.
I must disagree, people need space and while conservatism has its place people should live along side nature not outside of it. There is no reason to keep an arid and infertile land the way it is for the sake of novelty alone.

How about we turn the deserts into habitable and fertile lands. People are suffering and climate change will only make water and food shortage worse and lack of resources always results in wars and famines.

This is what people should be doing before colonizing mars.

New fertile lands and sustainable cities built with the lessons of the past 200 years in mind. Instead of continuing to ruin and deplete existing resources, migrate to newer artificially formed areas to allow previously looted areas to recover.

Homeless camps in the desert and drying lakes is all that needs to be considered. People will keep living in these areas and other areas will become and less and less habitable.
I’d agree if homelessness was a new thing. Homeless people living on the street was an issue in USA for decades, and it’s as American as McDonald, obesity and gun violence. Most of people coming to visit USA from other developed country was shocked by it for a really long time. There are no excuses left.

We’ve been trying for decades to solve the problem by helping people just a little. That’s only leads to issue getting much worse.

Should... should. So. Should they move the canneries, ports, flat land, abundant sun and all the skilled labor and their families? Mechanics, installers, fabricators, etc.

It's not like it's a small operation. There are canneries almost a mile long. There are small mountains of peach pits that form when they're processed (these are used for other purposes by the way!).

What about mature orchards?

I'm not sure why people hate California so much. It's got a lot of problems, like most places... But it's pretty amazing how much shit goes on there.
Fair. Got heated in some comments.

That said, I do think water “wars” will be a thing in the not so distant future. Gonna get nasty IRL. Not meant to incite, just a prediction

Could one aim be to increase anti-nuclear sentiment in Europe to further delay/prevent nuclear power development which would reduce dependency on Russian fossil fuels?

Although this would have no effect short-term since plants take a long time to build.
At least you seem to be admitting these are actual technologies. We are now just haggling over the cost.

The estimates for the costs of storage needed to turn renewables into baseload aren't enormous. This is why Exelon abandoned the idea of building more nuclear power plants, and instead focused on storage.

BTW, the available locations for off-river pumped hydro are enormous. On a global scale it vastly exceeds what would be necessary for a 100% renewable world. There are areas without the vertical relief needed, but other storage technologies could work there.

The salient thing you see when looking at storage is that there are so many different ways to do it. Nuclear stans are loudly asserting that none of them can work. This is a very strong assertion and deserves much more detailed argument than the usual bare assertion.
You seem to have missed the point of what makes Kubernetes a really nice system to work with.

It's not the machines. It's the comosible components, the service building blocks I can get with an API call.

* Want traffic into a cluster, ask for an Ingress.
* Want to auto-scale? Ask for a HorizontalPodAutoscaler.
* Want to manage CPU and memory rather than number of containers? VerticalPodAutoscaler.
* Want to point your monitoring system at a port? PodMonitor or ServiceMonitor

And of course, you can extend on the basic plugins. Want a bunch of databases? Maybe install the Vitess operator and simply make an API call to create an instance of VitessCluster. There are a dozen options, depending on what flavor of database you want.

Oh, and you don't need a sysadmin/SRE to do all this for you. You can be granted rights to a Namespace and compose everything you need in your namespace.
Ah, ok. So the idea is pretty fanciful in the first place, but on top of that the author is also being disingenuous by focusing on southwestern states, then?
Oof:

> Contamination of drinking water
The PEX EIR found that methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) and tert-Butyl alcohol can leach from PEX in amounts that exceed taste, odor and health guidelines set by the State of California for drinking water. The PEX EIR found that PEX pipes can initially leach as much as 290 ppb of MTBE. The California Department of Public Health and the California Office of Health Hazard Assessment have established a drinking water taste and odor standard of 5 ppb for MTBE and a drinking water public health goal and maximum contaminant level of 13 ppb. One of the key issues for the California State Pipe Trades Council was the recognition that construction workers are often the first to consume water from newly installed pipes. Because the levels of MTBE contamination from PEX pipe are highest during the first month of use, workers were at risk of repeated exposure to drinking water contaminated with MTBE at levels exceeding public health goals as they moved from job site to job site.
The PEX EIR found that, unlike copper pipe, outside contaminants such as pesticides, oil, gasoline, and benzene can permeate through PEX pipe into drinking water.
Several studies and articles comparing potable water pipe materials, including variants of PEX, polybutylene, polypropylene, CPVC, copper and steel, have found that PEX, at least initially, displayed the strongest biofilm formation and the strongest promotion of the growth of Legionella bacteria.
The eastern United States has no shortage of water and presumably the states providing water would benefit economically from providing it to the areas that do.
My mechanic also tells me I'm fortunate that my DS is a five speed manual. No semi-automatic gearbox for me. Also makes the engine bay a lot more accessible (although it is injection). So far, I've replaced the headgasket, cylinders, water pump and injection distributor (with one that achieves lower revs in neutral). The engine repairs were substantial, since water had leaked into one of the cylinders, but it was possible, and now it just starts when I turn the key.

My Xantia is the Activa V6 model. That ES9 engine is a beast. I've been told that it's usually the car, not the engine, that breaks first with those ones. But really, what I was more interested in was the Activa suspension. It feels like driving a go-kart, yet with the suspension of a Bentley, and the practicality of a hatchback. I know they were trying the same sort of anti-body roll for the DS back in the 1960s, but money was always running out (unfortunately, I cannot seem to find the pictures, I know they exist online somewhere).

I intend to keep my Xantia around for a long time. Took it to the US once, and drove from coast to coast and back again.

No. Firstly because California doesn't grow crops, it grows fruit and nuts, that grow on trees. Secondly because look, flavor and shelf-life all matter for these far more than crops, one cannot simply conjure up the desired properties. It's hard enough to create decent commercial fruit varietals as it is - a vast amount of effort and research has gone into creating the fruit and veg you see in the supermarket and there's already plenty of money to be had if you can, say, improve the self-life of an avocado without making it taste lousy. This work takes decades.
I doubt most freshwater sources have enough minerals in them to not be corrosive enough to need to add anything to reduce corrosiveness (ground water wells, rivers, etc...). The only purpose for adding fluoride would be to add fluoride for dental purposes.

The only thing I could think of that might have corrosive issues would be desalination water that was overly purified like the sibling comment mentioned. But even then, they should be adding some kind of minerals back before distributing it to people's homes. Ultrapure water tastes horrible and likely isn't safe for drinking long term.
> I dont like in general enabling people to live wasteful lives

Those wasteful people in California only use 20% of the water.

The other 80% is agriculture.

I am sure there's a great many ways to get farmers to use less water.
