There is no reason why nuclear can not provide all energy needed.

Just because this french document doesn't make a scenario like that doesn't mean its not possible.

France did a great job deploying nuclear, but they have overall done a really bad job at developing next generation nuclear.

I would like to read the document you linked below and understand by what logic they exclude 100 nuclear.

How is it possible that they manged to build a nuclear reactor in 5 years in the 80s and can't do so now. France doesn't need that much more energy in 2050. If they just repeated what they did in the 70-90s in the next 20 years they clearly reach it.

It really don't see any rational argument why this shouldn't be possible. Maybe its not possible continuing to do more or less what they want. But a determined government effort, bringing the technologies online that they have to to make it work should be considered.

Given modern technology, shouldn't they not be at least 2-4x more efficient at building new capacity then they were in the 80s?

Edit:

Looking at the document, why would France need +350GW of energy production. That seems totally over the top given population trends.

Edit 2:

Looking further:

> 14 EPR et plusieurs SMR entre 2035 et 2050

That seems a small number. If they have a working design that they can start building in say 2030. IF you put the necessary education system in place to educated people, you should be able to build way more in 15 years. If you split the teams while on-boarding new people you can start many reactors every year.
people are eating too much, plus sugar is really bad for humans and that's what is everywhere. Most of the danger of fats is gone with the vast reduction in amount of hydrogenated fats out there. Sugar is still king though.
My take on the Platonic ideal HN user:

Tech-savvy NPR liberals: deeply capitalist, socially liberal, who consider expressions of emotion profoundly offensive. This is particularly true of anger, with empathy being a close second. Humor is almost-but-not-quite taboo.

When politics is discussed, solutions outside of boycotts or elections are eschewed.
Partisans are not acknowledged to exist, nor are bad-faith actors: if someone says something, you must pretend to believe they are acting in good faith, and that debate is always worth pursuing.

Racism and bigotry simply do not exist.

Market forces will solve climate crises. The use of force will not be considered or allowed to be discussed.
Perhaps they're too close to having valid points and might have to be taken seriously.
Many modules, especially a lot of specialized modules that are not available on PyPI and do not provide wheels, have complex installation steps, including compiling C libraries etc. There is nothing foundamentally wrong with this kind of use case.
The researcher mentions that in the article.
Actually, that’d be great. The most likely reason it got banned is because of corruption. One reason for corruption is that politicians aren’t paid well. What smart competent sane person would rationally choose to be a politician? Maybe if it paid competitively. I wonder if there is a study on the ROI?
Wait. What!? This is great news, thanks.

I don't think it's an unreasonable hypothesis. At this point we know that the government has been cataloging evidence of advanced craft in the air and ocean that behave intelligently and are far beyond the capabilities of any major world power. A small portion of that evidence has been released to the public and officials with clearance (including elected officials) have stated that the evidence they've seen is significant. Doesn't mean its aliens but unless there is some elaborate conspiracy there is compelling evidence of technology in our planet that violates our current understanding of physics.

Loeb is connecting dots and hypothesizing that there is a connection between that phenomena and extrasolar objects. It's not a completely unreasonable theory and I think it's worth examination.
Thanks for all of your hard work and for not selling out. I love you folks.
I love make. What I hate are the default implicit rules. Compiling C from an empty makefile is cool and all, but I resent having implicit build rules for rcs, modula2, texinfo, lex for ratfor (a "preprocessor for fortran 66" tf?)... talk about surprise rules when one of your files is a .p, .r or .f file.

"very sexy woman with black hair, pale skin, in bikini, wet hair, sitting on the beach."

Those alledged women on the beach are all freak shows. Or maybe 3 legs are 'very sexier' than 2, to say nothing of reptilian hands and big bright (very sexy) orange tumor on the hip. Does DALL-E mess up human anatomy this badly too?
I never understood who this is protecting the data from. I can pirate 4K Blu-Ray MKVs that are quality wise indistinguishable from a blu-ray disc. I'd often rather buy the discs to get movies and tv shows in archival quality without paying for even more storage but it always seems way more complicated to get that to run right.
Wheat prices were up because of the Ukraine war so farmers planted more wheat and less corn. But wheat prices have already returned to pre-war levels, and this report will depress them even further.

OTOH, fertilizer prices at the time of planting were crazy high.

Expenses up, revenue down. Farmers are going to be in a world of hurt this year.
While I agree with you, the problem here as a lack of consistency between browsers, which leads to using the least common denominator from 1990s.

Ideally all browsers should have uniform means to control animated graphics (allow or not autoplay, stop all or stop a particular one, etc), and a uniform way to show the intent (autoplay or not, play on hover, etc).
Yeah, it's just a convenience that isn't necessary at all. Moving between different systems can be annoying trying to find out if I have screen, cu, minicom etc, would be nice to just XTerm --serial /dev/ttyUSB0 or something.
I once quit a job five days in, because the boss (on day 4) berated me in a way that indicated a lack of anger control. I gave it a day to think it over, then quit.

I had been hired through an agency, and called them, being apologetic and saying I hoped I hadn't endangered their relationship with their client (although no way I was staying). They said I hadn't, and by the end of the call it became apparent that I wasn't the first person to quit in this way.

One thought exercise you might consider, to see if you are being unreasonable or not. Imagine, as a thought experiment, that you were needing to explain to someone (say at your next job interview) what was wrong with your "insufferable" bosses. If you have a hard time explaining (even as a thought experiment) why your immediate bosses are insufferable, then you would want to introspect a bit more as to what is really bothering you. But, if you are able to explain the problem clearly (and professionally), perhaps to a non-work friend or something, then it's probably not just you being in a bad mood or whatever, and you should start looking.

One additional thing to mention is you can start looking before you quit, just to see what the market currently is like for you.
This rings very true.

There are actually a couple of departments still using custom software and it doesn't talk to anything and you can't talk to it (but you can manually import/export data, in excel/csv format haha)

The other thing is that every time they want to add a feature they have to find 50k for software development and watch for 6 months as the request winds its way through the bureaucracy. We just whip it up in an afternoon and keep moving...
Sounds like someone was... sick of their shit.

Given the general competence level of the engineering at SpaceX, I would not put any money on this being true.

Maybe if the system were designed by Sony...

At my work, we do a lot of IT ticketing in ServiceNow. They've been reporting out tickets/incidents through Excel and so far I haven't gotten them to /just/ /look/ /at/ /the/ /dashboard/ /in/ /servicenow/. I automated these reports 3 weeks ago. So until I can get them to give up on copying ticket information into Excel, I started converting the tables into "Tables", and now when they insert the incident number in 1 sheet it autopopulates with the information they entered from other sheets using a formula someone who comes after me can understand. They literally have a "closed tickets", "daily tickets", "cancelled tickets", etc. Excel has been wonderful for showing how much i don't need Excel. Also, being able to do structured references in the "online 365 Excel" has been wonderful. I love looking at 2 separate worksheets in 2 separate browser tabs. I can't view multiple sheets side-by-side in the desktop Excel.

I will XLOOKUP() this job into the ground.

PS: = INDIRECT("YourTable[@header]") for structured references in online Excel
> For example, the villain will shoot at the protagonist without showing whether or not the shots hit until after the commercial break

Or worse, until the next episode which would air the following week...or year if it's a season cliffhanger. I have mixed feelings about binge-streaming, but shoehorned cliffhangers are bad IMO.
It's because of the war right? Farmers looked at the price of wheat futures and chose to plant wheat over crops like corn?
What do you use for playback?

Most of the free/trial stuff I used had subpar menu support (some would only even play the longest playlist). The other issue was my intent was to rip so it was useful to reference playlist numbering, and not all players made it accessible.

Sometimes I just resort to using a physical player.
What's the alternative? I don't know in advance if the system's seek() supports 64 bits directly or just 32. Or if the user wants a more minimal binary without a certain feature.
If the law required communication providers to obtain licenses, and as a condition of those licenses to have credible controls against use by terrorists, and Whatsapp just scoffed at all that & went on being trivially used by terrorists, then why not?

Soybeans, or Monsanto soy? Because just because Bayer bought Monsanto doesn't mean they stopped their underhanded ways to force farmers to either buy into Monsanto, or not grow soy at all.
Absolutely. Train wrecks should get studied to find out what went wrong.
According to the archive [1] this is a similar format to the (printed? faxed?) reports as far back as 1964. The annual version [2] goes back to 1941 and uses a similar format. Talk about backwards compatibility!

The overall point is there isn't a single "yes". The equivalent of "yes" takes various forms depending on the context. "是的", "对" etc can all work depending on the question.
I see a lot of comments advocating for more regulation, more policies, more government control, less individual freedom. Many that argue the other way are down voted.

This article is in French and is thus inaccessible for many on HN. It sounds like it's assuming that there's going to be vast amounts of storage to accommodate renewables intermittency - at least if "stocker" and "dèstocker" refer to storage.

This is very wishful thinking. Storage at anywhere near relevant scales is not achievable with existing storage mechanisms. This is often the case for most plans that call for a significant portion of energy coming from renewables. Intermittency would otherwise require a carbon-free source to provide energy during periods of non-production. Unfortunately for intermittent sources, peak demand coincides with periods of non production in the evening. If you build enough nuclear plants to fulfill this period of non-production, then you have enough nuclear plants to fulfill demand for the rest of the day and thus the intermittent sources are redundant.

If someone does eventually invent a storage system that's nearly free and can scale to terawatt hours then renewables are great. But until then, they do not provide a path to decarbonization.

Sure, but jumping the turnstiles is clearly ipso facto breaking the rules. Re-tapping where you entered but not exiting immediately could be explained away. I bet far more people would cheat if they only had to tap to exit and not exit, versus jumping turnstiles.

According to a trial in nicaragua, from memory (google it), 25%-50% salt solution; soak the charcoal (which is crushed to the point of not filtering too much through whatever filtering mechanism you're going to use) for 24 hours; let dry in the sun (plenty of sun in their trial, i assume baking is the same).

It couldnt possibly be because inflation is crushing regular households and on everyone's mind, while the Democrats in office spend nearly another trillion dollars to "fight" it

But then the docker command is starting docker and running the same makefile again inside the container, which becomes hellish to reason about. It's probably better to just make a separate script for that instead.
Communication providers are not required to obtain licenses and mitigate illegal content in the same way that money service businesses are required to mitigate money laundering. Some people think they should be! I don't agree. But it is a thing governments could do.
Now that there are a billion cel phones out there with high resolution video capability, I guess we ought to see some pretty amazing new UFO videos. Or not?
I'd probably consider most closely aligning with libertarian-ism but honestly being part of any "ism" is just a drag. I don't see why you can't favor parts of different ideologies while rejecting others. A funny example... I find socialists very good at identifying societal problems and even identifying their core causes... the only problem is I can't say I find a lot of the proposed solutions all that great. One of my favorite examples of an intention != consequence:

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

TL;DR, Awhile back, Sweden decided to tax financial trades. It was a "tiny" tax of just 1%. This tax reduced revenues of various other taxes and completely destroyed their markets which haven't recovered, even to this day. Hundreds of millions evaporated in the span of years and potentially billions over the decades... not to mention the loss of jobs and opportunities for the country as a whole...

That said, I'm glad HN is mostly apolitical... at least relative to other sites I visit, lol.
Not really? They're different things, for wildly different markets. The vast majority (as in, around 90%) of corn is not for human consumption but is used for farm feed and ethanol production.
I've been using Zellij on both Linux & Mac for around six months.

It's great! For someone who wants a terminal multiplexer but a) doesn't feel like learning all the idiosyncracies of tmux and b) is OK with adding some configs in toml — it's ideal.

The downsides are that it's not perfectly stable — maybe once a month I get a panic — and some terminal cobwebs aren't encapsulated — e.g. it's not possible to use "[" in key mappings.
Winter wheat was planted last fall and should be close to fully harvested by now.

Spring wheat was planted after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and will be harvested starting shortly. That is really what is notable here - American farmers have done this in response to geopolitical events.

As for corn, the forecast has been pretty terrible given drought, heat and fertilizer shortages. All in all, I'd say that farm output in the US is far better than was predicted earlier this year.
Statements of fact are now “nihilism”, I guess
I think it's reasonable to believe that public information should be accessible, and also be upset that things you expect to be private were made public.
I'd be surprised if some of that stealth_bomber_r_and_d didn't go into the f-22 and f-35. So really a full accounting would probably make it look a little cheaper, and give the R&D cost a chance to amortized across the more numerous fighters.
Hopefully, if you are transitioning from writing C++ to Rust the basic ideas the borrow checker is enforcing feel pretty familiar. Shared mutable references and references which outlive the thing borrowed are bad ideas in C++ too. You should avoid them, and be careful to use a safe pattern to handle them when/if they become necessary, Rust just has the compiler looking over your shoulder instead of an implausibly good code reviewer.

Could one add the AES-NI instruction to Intel CPUs that lacked it using purely microcode? Would it be a speedup compared to encoding one round of AES using regular instructions?
If wheat production is up due to over planting, and that drives the price down, is that actually going to end up hurting Ukraine because now they can't export their wheat at the same price as before?
Yes I realize that this part had a potential for a misunderstanding. I actually agree with you regardless of your post. I think the distinction with your example is that that review is actually not done our of selfish self promotion. Oftentimes this kind of review actually is a common good since it may actually protect others from a potentially hazardous outcome.

I do agree that in some cases the line between altruism and selfish desire is very fuzzy.
I just don't understand how this is considered money laundering... this is coin laundering and it isn't regulated, as far as I know. The people will still have to explain where the cash comes from when they convert coins to cash?

India is not kicking everybodies ass. Indias nuclear industry suffers from the same problems many of their advanced technology developments suffer.

India focused on thorium fuel pellets, but what makes a reactor good is using molten salt as fuel and coolant, and India wasted a huge amount of effort redeveloping PWR technology from the 70s.

And breeding with static fuels is also far less useful because to separate those out of the fixed fuel pellets is very hard.

Those are the exact reason why M. Weinberg started developing liquid fueled reactors.

So what we really need to develop is liquid molten salt fueled or at least molten salt cooled reactor. Those can be fast burners, fast breeders or thermal breeders. Thorium is really only useful if you are doing a thermal breeder, if you don't then uranium is actually better.
Maybe it appears so to people who have never heard of Lisp and or used it.
Their position is not a secret. They're tracked by NORAD and their tracking parameters are public. You can track them with any satellite tracker app. The tracking elements are here: https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/gp.php?GROUP=starlink&F...

This info is enough to calculate their exact position and is constantly updated as their orbits change due to degradation or powered movements.

But accurately hitting an object at 400km altitude moving at 10km/s is outside the capability of all but corporate and state actors and starlink is not great target because their sats are so small and there's so many of them.

It would cost a fortune in missiles just to make a dent in the constellation.
If you believe any of what Bob Lazar described, the government may know enough to get craft to liftoff and maneuver but not actually understand the power source yet. Like dropping an electric car into the Middle Ages. Someone will press the power button eventually, and even drive it, but they won’t actually be able to re-use that technology for a long time. Again, if you believe.
this gave a good chuckle
