It’s really ridiculous to say that nuclear is the safest form of energy, when deaths at Chernobyl and Fukushima were prevented only by enormous cleanup efforts that will probably easily exceed $100 billion each. That doesn’t include the lost economic value of the exclusion zone, higher energy prices, etc.

Meanwhile, there has been a worldwide effort to spend billions of dollars upgrading existing reactors with enhanced safety equipment after Fukushima, which suggests that many nuclear operators had not been accurately calculating risk factors up to that point.

The more accurate statement would be to say that humans are capable of overcoming the inherent danger of nuclear energy, with enough money, will, and sacrifice.

I think it can be very good for someone who is steeped in other perspectives to see Hestenes's take on things and so broaden their existing understanding, but I disagree strongly that Hestenes should be one's first read on the subject. His ideology might lead one to conclude, wrongly, that geometric algebra is the one true answer and that one need know no other; and this is as bad as not knowing about the geometric-algebra formalism at all. (Or, if you wish not to grant that it is as bad, at least it is also bad.)
Well the question was if you had $100,000 what would you do with it, and my answer was too invested in these businesses. I agree that it would be very expensive to try to buy one and start it up new, but perhaps I could buy into an existing business. Another option is to use the $100,000 as a down payment on a business loan to create the laundromat business. I see your point, but I was going more for the investment rather than outright buy
On a somewhat related note, Wireguard acts somewhat similar to Mosh in that it can handle poor connections and moving across networks without reconnecting anything. I use SSH over Wireguard on the home DSL which sometimes has significant packet loss and it works well. I also use ZNC over Wireguard on my phone so I can move between networks without having to reconnect (home wifi => cell network => public wifi => etc).

Mosh has more features than just handling unreliable connections though, so SSH over Wireguard is not a proper replacement. Mosh reduces input latency by just echoing text right away and fixing it if needed and only syncs the visible part of the screen instead of making output block while catching up. It does other interesting things too that I don't understand very well!

You can always run Mosh over Wireguard too! This is what I'm going to start doing I think.

People who aren't "bad" (i.e. they are of the same economic class as the homeowners in the city) generally can afford cars in suburban areas. So I can understand why they oppose public transit.

I wonder if the author tried using an On Demand VPN rule for the default route. That's always what I've done when setting this stuff up.

Then, reboot your phone and all application traffic, or traffic that isn't something system (APNS) or management/link-local (dhcp, mdns, etc.) will use the tunnel.

One of the main causes of our homeless problem is our high-housing cost. At least from what I've read, the Bay Area has such a high-level of homelessness because people who normally can afford apartments can't and are forced on to the streets. We have some of the highest housing costs in the world, and if prices keep going up, homelessness and crime will get worse and worse. We need to bring prices down (or at least keep them from going up like crazy as they have been) so that we can support a range of workers, from cooks and teachers to well-educated techies and business people.

Just my two cents.

I think the fear of AI art is really unfounded. Once the novelty wears off, people will learn to view it for what it is: fancy clip art. You'll see pieces by Midjourney at your local Urban Outfitters as "cool" wall art, probably on some graphic tees; just a bunch of generic junk really.

It's use online will become as ubiquitous as stock photography, and you'll see the same images used everywhere and for everything.

Digital art as a whole will probably be most negatively impacted, because we will view things much more negatively knowing the tools involved. I already can't enjoy anything Midjourney makes because it all looks the same. I just immediately turn my brain off when I see that signature style. Was certainly cool for a few minutes though.

The zoning prohibiting the 6-unit housing is in essence limiting the supply to five parties in order to reduce the price to a single party fur buying a bigger home.

That's a feature not a bug and it's one of the things I like :-)

It means that if I run multiple instances of a compose setup, they are completely isolated from each other because they live in separate namespaces. It's a very handy feature (for example, if I'm working on 3 branches of the code, just check them out in 3 different directories etc).

Of course it has the consequence that if you move it around it's going to break things, but that's actually the idea. They should break! Because to compose they are meant to be segregated, and if they interacted it would actually be a bug.

"It's ridiculous to say nuclear is the safest form of energy when it costs so much money" is a ridiculous argument.

The cost of nuclear may be a fair argument against it, and should definitely be considered when determing our energy policy. That doesn't mean it somehow kills more people.

Every form of energy has an inherent danger that humans can use money, will, and sacrifice to overcome.

So... if you manage to buy one for much less than they sell for, and if the downsides of electric are not a problem for you, it's a better choice than paying market price for a gas truck?

>I’d wager your app quality will suffer.

I really dislike this argument, and it comes up every time React Native is discussed. I think it's a holdover from Ionic style mobile applications that simply emulated native UI in a webview. It was awful - especially when the native UI changed and the Ionic apps didn't. It's likely you use RN apps every day and don't even notice because they're indistinguishable from native apps.

React Native is designed to compile down to native code and it uses native UI frameworks. The documentation on how it does this is very thorough. The problem is not React Native in my opinion. It's the native UI frameworks for iOS and Android. These frameworks have a lot of issues and taming them often requires developers with a lot of time and experience in that specific domain. Which is stupid and wasteful.

Here's a story from yesterday of how Apple's SwiftUI (their much vaunted successor to UIKit, a very flawed framework itself) is struggling to construct basic settings views in the new version of MacOS: https://daringfireball.net/linked/2022/08/15/ventura-system-...

Not to mention the criticism of Swift as a language and how it has evolved, including the original creator leaving. And how complicated doing a fucking substring is: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39677330/how-does-string...

In my opinion, Flexbox is a perfect way of laying out elements on a 2D screen. It's way less confusing than the complex constraints system that UIKit used. React Native's implementation of it works well. Kotlin and Swift as DSLs do not need to exist. They are solutions in search of a problem. Designed by big tech to moat their platforms.

Unless you're building an app that has a very non standard UI or a game, it doesn't make sense not to use React Native in my opinion.

According to this article, it looks like they'd have to elect to "self-ding" on their own report card. They're not going to self-ding for something they demonstrably would like to hide. For a highly central entity with as much influence over the flow of attention and other resources as google, it may be possible to mitigate or even falsify your own ESG score and get away with it, especially if other central entities decide it suits their best interests to agree.

Whose self-reported ESG scores are legit, which ones will we question? Who gets to decide? Just like with skimping out on support and copyright management in ways that hurt small users to extract value from them, these megacorps can and will extract value from the collective trust people had in the idea of ESG scores. People who call out the bogus score can be shadowbanned, throttled, or have a story spun up about how morally nasty or mentally deranged they, or the people they're connected to, are. This should keep "malinformation" (true information, that is agreed upon by the central figures as harmful to society) like this video quiet or confused enough to keep getting away with it.

What the hell makes you think car dependence supports owning things in a land of monthly heated seat subscriptions and EVs witb proprietary charging networks? One person with a lathe, some brass, some wire and some pipes can make a bicycle from raw materials sans tyres, and a walkable area (which works even better in a small rural town than a city) requires only feet. You're not even allowed to know what code is running in your car or turn the modem off or replace some parts yourself. You barely own a new car any more than you own a bus.
I read that essay and did not get the impression Andreessen was necessarily talking about some ugly steal box to house people (the proposal). Particularly one you'd regulate into existence in someones neighborhood. It was more about inspiring people to want what you want to build.
I can't easily see that, no. That's a very presumptive way to word your speculation.

I don't have much of a prediction except that it seems a long long ways from there not being value a human can by working on prompts and cleaning up images.

For sure there's already applications where you don't need a human involved per image. But for applications where it makes sense to spend 5, 10, 60 minutes of a human's time to improve the output, I think the baseline output could improve drastically and as long as humans can still make improvements within a timeframe that makes sense for the application, it will still make sense to do so.
> AFAIK safety engineering, at its heart, allows for different levels of severity

That sounds to me like exactly the opposite point to the one your were making upthread? Yes, that's true. The possibility of generation shortfall due to weather in a wind or solar-dominated grid environment is, for sure, a problem to be solved.

Yet it is nonetheless at a "different level of severity" than a nuclear meltdown. Saying that is not "censoring" discussion of anything, it's literally engaging in the discussion.

Also until that time, their competitors (foreign like Toyota, Hyundai, etc and specialized eg Tesla, Rivian, etc) will get more subsidies and continue to undercut them.

IMO what will really light a fire under their ass at this point, even if you forget about saving the planet, is that an EV is a lot more fun to drive than an equivalently price ICE (post rebates). Whenever I go back to an ICE vehicle for a rental situation, I tend to curse often at how sluggish it feels. Feels like an iPhone/Android vs Nokia situation, manufacturers will get with the program or they will get pounced out of the game by competitors.
