Maybe? It all depends on execution and costs. And that's where most nuclear firms and proponents have been wearing rose-colored glasses for decades.

The preliminary estimates of numbers for cost were not terribly impressive, so I hope that they became wise and are under-promising. But only time will tell.
This was common practice throughout history. The Egyptians built canals, lakes, and basins to divert water from the Nile and vastly expand the amount of livable area and farmland. People think the Great Pyramids are a wonder of the world, but the irrigation projects were potentially more impressive and impactful.

More recently, the Libyan government built the Great Man-Made Project, which was thousands of kilometers of pipes pumping water from desert aquifers in the south to the cities in the north, which sounds like one of those crazy dictator megalomaniac ego projects but actually had a tremendous amount of impact (assuming there's as much water in the aquifers they're draining as they think).
Your experience reminds me of my own disappointment I experienced as an engineer learning the law: It's nowhere near as organized, structured, and rational as I assumed it would be.
> From the outside it just looks like you guys are resting on a giant warchest with feuding petty fiefdoms while the king is asleep at the throne.

They're probably operating like a third world nation that finds a natural resource like Oil or diamonds or something.

That was google search / ads.

The company now is full of internal corruption which is just the petty fiefdoms all squabbling over the spoils, while the industry is being badly managed.

Lets see if I can find the economics book on that...

The Bottom Billion:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bottom_Billion

Chapter 3 is on "the natural resources trap"

I haven't read it in over a decade and the analogy may fall apart, particularly when it comes to stuff like trade and currency -- but the problems of governance when a country is overflowing with natural resources is the narrow slice I'm talking about being analogous.
The thesis is a master piece, highly recommended!
When Michael Abrash wrote his books, C compilers weren't known for the quality of their blazing machine code.

It also has a proven record that no matter what, exploits are bound to happen, making the whole industry turn into hardware memory tagging as the ultimate solution to fix C.

I feel your pain on this. I am quite progressive and it's frankly increasingly difficult to find right-wing sources that aren't so far outside my reality that I can't parse them. Here are some good ones:

The WSJ - the NYT but right-leaning. Fantastic news quality and very conservative editorial section.

Fox News is worth reading just to see how things are being spun. Their news section is trustworthy at least to the extent that they don't straight-up lie. Comparable to CNN/MSNBC on the left.

The National Review for conservative but not Trumpist opinion and some news. Comparable to Vox on the left.

I'd avoid the NY Post because it's essentially a tabloid. Also avoid OANN, Newsmax, Breitbart, the Federalist, etc., they just don't live in the same universe as anything true. Any source that seriously flirts with the idea of the 2020 election being stolen wouldn't share enough reality with you to be worth your time.

For my "going to sleep" podcasts, I use "The Indicator from Planet Money" (the ads are a bit distracting at times), "More or Less" (facts about numbers in the news), "Robot or Not" and "Ungeniused". All are long enough to fall asleep to, but interesting enough to start listening.
I used gogs before gitea and when it split I watched for a few months and then switched.

The gogs maontainer was unreachable for many month multiple times and the gitea fork os very active. It implements features I care about and even though they move fast and break configs the problems are documented and I had only a few minor problems over the years, a few of them werent even their fault.

So I'm a happy gitea user even when there are things I dislike.

But even resisting the urge takes brain cycles. One day you’ll reach the level of being happy not to have the choice - put the phone in another room and be fine with it.
This is a great idea. People need to connect all the big problems with animal husbandry to their immediate lives so they have impetus to stop eating meat. Most people have virtually no knowledge of how bad meat really is. They just see a product on the shelf that they strongly desire.
This is a neat trick. I wonder if my eyes would just get used to see B&W phone content and keep going.

A neat app would be a 5' slow fade off that eventually locks your phone. You can just unlock to keep going but at least you know 5' have gone by.
Beautifully done! Kudos for the concept and the application of it.

Flashcards is such a natural extension for such an app and I had just pitched flashcards to someone asking me for ideas for a new Dictionary app for Math. Thank you for the validation haha

It is not enough already. Its output is not reliable already. It takes huge space, land that could be used differently (like say expansion, so housing becomes cheaper, or farming, etc.), it has huge environmental impact (nothing lives anymore where solar farms are built). No thanks. I'll take nuclear any day.
We apparently have differing understandings about “inalienable.”
How can you do "lots of outdoor things" and not need a knife?

That's what you use to do kindling, cut firewood to a smaller size, open any food packaging you might have, cut up ingredients for food etc etc.

Swiss army knives are kinda useless though. Leatherman-style pliers + stuff utility knives are a lot more useful in the modern world. You need pliers a lot more than a wine bottle opener or a toothpick :)

I can't really imagine this new rendition having the same edge as the original did - but I'd be very happy to be proven wrong on this.

My prediction is, that they are going to look at the original Max Headroom material, and make a slightly more tame clone of that.

I can't imagine them making a highly critical satire that shames modern day television hosts (and youtube content creators), the same way the original did with TV hosts of the day.

The original was a bitingly harsh piss-take on everything wrong with TV.
A true-to-the-roots recreation of that would have to be a bitingly harsh piss-take on everything wrong with today's social media + TV + internet culture.
> I'm already surprised to learn how similar the concepts are (still) across all the common law countries.

We can blame the Roman's and, in no small part, William Garrow for all that ..

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Garrow

Despite concepts in common there can still remain the complaint of Shaw (and later Wilde) that we are divided by a common language.

Readability is good, at some point in any legal procedure though there comes an importance of being precise about nomenclature.

In the field of mathematics, for example, such phrases as "if and only if" and "neccesary and sufficient" go deeper than casual reading might understand.

Now comes the twist in law that common phrases may have different interpretations between countries, or as may the case in the USofA, between different counties or states.

Still any move to increase understanding of the law in general with pointers to the law in specific locations is a good one.

> Alpha radiation is completely harmless and doesn’t even get through a sheet of paper.

That is not correct. Yes, alpha radiation doesn’t penetrate skin, but is dangerous if you ingest it. That’s one of the reasons people have abandoned underground long-term storage sites: they all eventually have water break ins and the worry is that the waste will contaminate fresh water supplies.
Kubernetes reinvented virtual machines? That’s a bold statement. I’m still waiting for them to catch up to where OS/360 was 45 years ago.

People forget that mainframe did it first, mainframe still does it best, the only thing that’s changed is that now you can do it on consumer grade electronics for less then 5 million dollars.
I can confirm your viewpoint. I'm single engineer building self-managed k8s for my company. We're using OpenStack provider, but I wrote all the necessary scripts and it works just fine. We're starting to migrate to it soon, but all the preliminary tests were fine and I think it's completely manageable. I'm using simple kubeadm setup without any issues. I've read plenty of terrifying articles how k8s is hard but it's actually looks very easy so far.

> I've been looking into this stuff lately, to try and justify mathematically why automatic differentiation works.

What do you mean by that? Isn't the theory (at least the mathematical, abstract version of it) already fully represented in books like Griewank that I mentioned in another comment here in this post?

I remember seeing somewhere a rather well develop theory using dual numbers (but this was a purely mathematical development); but I think that there is a bit of a division between computer scientists and mathematicians, so it could be that the whole machinery is mathematically already development and is now being re-development within the mantle of theoretical computer science, in and given new closing in terms of a programming language/semantics that supports the mathematics "natively". But that is more of a guess I'm having.

If one can get hold of the Modula-3 books I would advise it.

It shows the path of having GC enabled systems programming languages, which also offers all features at C++ level (minus template metagramming and macros), and how we could already be there in the early 1990's, had it not been for the Compaq merges messing it all up.

Fantastic tool, thank you! Any chance you could include usage in a sentence for each word? As a non-native speaker, sometimes it is not obvious from the description on how the word is typically used.
One caveat on tooling: unless things have changed recently it's an overwhelmingly Windows-centric ecosystem. That honestly been the biggest barrier to entry for me using fpgas in hobby projects.
Okay, how about; it's safer than literally every other method of energy production? Less deaths per thousand terawatt-hours produced (90) than wind (150), solar (440), or hydroelectric (1400).

It's so trivial when you gridlock major cities REPEATEDLY to spread a 'message' that could be told in a million other ways. Its trivial to worry about things like 'the economy' that provides a means to put a roof over your head and the ability to feed yourself and your family. Only someone who has little to no responsibilities could find it trivial.
Indeed! Minus the literal genocide, of course, but that’s just a minor detail.

Simplicity sprint gives me flashbacks to other upper/top management exercises I've done in the past. We never got much out of it. Good ideas and innovations are something that grows over time not over flashy events. I have no idea why Google is doing it. Generally they seem to be doing smart things in smart ways and avoid corporate nonsense.

There's no magic stick effect to increasing productivity. I reckon this exercise is an excuse that will be used in near future to prune the workforce as it's unlikely to yield anything tangible.

Did Manuel Ramírez spend years in prison for murdering a man who is still alive?
GNU compilers were largely ignored until Sun made the first step, followed by other UNIX vendors, to split UNIX worloads into user and developer packages.

Sundenly many UNIX customers decided to improve GCC instead of paying UNIX developer licenses.
I have told many friends why I deleted tiktok. All respond the same way. They do not care if their data is being collected or what is done with it.
I find differentiable programming languages really fascinating. Think about this: a differentiable programming language is still a programming language. If the language is designed to facilitate a smooth optimization landscape, it's actually possible to "learn" programs with gradient descent. This opens the door to a lot of cool possibilities:

- programming languages which use neural networks as primitive functions (think `result = sum([mlp(input) for input in list])`. NN's are (understandably) notoriously bad at learning simple operators [1]. Differentiable programming over a language defined by aggregation functions (map/fold/sum/mean/etc.) allows us to bypass learning some simple functions.

- Flipping this around, we can use neural networks that use differentiable programs to regularize the outputs. Assume we have a NN that learns the speed of a car from a video. We know that a car's speed cannot exceed (say) 200mph. Make a differentiable program to express this and use it to regularize the output of the network.

- Reusing the image->NN->speed example again, use the differentiable program to identify speeds/conditions where using a neural network policy is unsafe and switch to a (less-performant) handmade policy instead.

I suppose you missed that it was a bit tongue in cheek but if you want to take it seriously, I think it still stands. You can just compile to JVM bytecode instead of the assembly of your vm of choice. It's indeed different in practice but I don't think it's all that different in principle.

Really though, I was just pointing out the tautology of your previous comment. It boils down to "it doesn't run anything that doesn't run on it."

China has a luxury tax on top of all other taxes, incl. the VAT. That was one of the reasons why supercars were bought in Hong Kong rather than mainland China. And I am not speaking about the plebs Lamborghinis or Ferraris.

Adversity doesn't mean stupid or weak though. Let's say a person made it to a certain level of success in life. If that person faced adversity along the way, the person likely had to be smart and hardworking to overcome the adversity. If the person didn't face adversity, the person might have coasted to that point and might not be smart and hardworking.

Pretty much any pairing function (for a discrete universe) or space-filling curve (for a continuous universe) can be the backing track for holograms.

If locality preservation is required, then one can use locality preserving pairing functions or curves such as the Z-order curve.

All that the holographic principle really implies is that there is redundancy in the state of the universe in part due to the symmetries in the laws of the universe. But there's no implication that the simplification from N dimensions to N-1 dimensions is any easier than recovering the information that went into a black hole from its Hawking radiation. The best we'll probably get is existence proofs or constructive proofs about the boundary/bulk relationship. But I doubt we'll actually have any real calculations on what we're dealing with.

Seeing as expense is currently a major barrier to adoption of EVs by the general public, I'd say that becoming even slightly more expensive provides a significant barrier to electrification in the near-term.
It might have been, yet it was nowhere to be found on most European countries. It was Borland vs Microsoft all over the place, then we got Watcom and MetaWare High as well.

I suspect a lot of the speed comes from structure specific serialization (avoiding reflect). This can probably done with less unsafe code, and for most use cases that'd be a better trade-off.

One way to do this is to make domestic production a requirement for government contracts. Then the government contracts ensure domestic production exists, and pays off a lot of their fixed costs, which may make them competitive in the global market. Or maybe competitors are still cheaper.

But more than one country can do this, which ensures supply chain diversity. And if one of them falters, the others may be more expensive, but they exist.
