Can't we just build a new infrastructure at that point? The current infrastructure worked well for about a decade. If we have to rebuild every decade then that's not so bad.
Have you tried searching for a product category on Google lately? You get dozens of top X lists with vaguely odd English describing each item featured in the list. I'm not sure if these are AI generated or created by underpaid humans somewhere but trying to research which product to choose for a given application is getting extremely annoying.
This seems on topic and it's something I've wondered for a while. Does anyone have any good strategies for quickly running TypeScript against an entire repo?

I want to be able to quickly validate that a change that I made didn't introduce any errors. The problem is that our repo is a few hundred thousand lines, and doing `yarn run tsc` takes a long time. I currently use VSCode, which does good at incremental feedback in the current file, but there's still a blind spot where I'm not sure if I've introduced issues that affect files that I'm not currently editing.
This report provides costs for nuclear power down to about $30/MWH (LCOE) at 3% discount rate (interest rate - inflation rate):

https://www.oecd-nea.org/upload/docs/application/pdf/2020-12...

Most countries should be able to reach such levels if providing guarantees for the credit, removing overly excessive regulation and allowing the most capable and experienced construction companies to lead construction and initial operations, especially if large enough numbers are built that economies of scale kick in.

Renewables-only systems (apart from hydro, where available), are not able to provide constant power output at anything near such levels yet, without a significant percentage of the power being generated by natural gas.

Massive capital investments in the grid, hydrogen generation, etc, MAY be able to actually provide stable power, but would be very unlikely to match nuclear if nuclear is optimized for price.

This could change in a few years, obviously, especially if storage becomes super cheap. But there is no guarantee of that.

As for the astronomical costs of some recent nuclear plants in western countries, those are a bit like evaluating the price of electric cars based on the Tesla Model S Plaid. We can get perfectly serviceable plants for a fraction of the price, by removing most of the bells and whistles, while still making sure that they are safer than most of the plants in operation today.

The Company:

AMD Pensando is a leading provider of data center networking technology. Pensando's distributed services platform will expand AMD's data center product portfolio with a high-performance data processing unit (DPU) and software stack that are already deployed at scale across cloud and enterprise customers including Goldman Sachs, IBM Cloud, Microsoft Azure and Oracle.

The Role:

This position is for a recent graduate with strong software engineering skills who is passionate about solving complex problems. Our team is working on a compiler for the P4 language targeting a domain specific architecture implemented in our family of ASICs. The compiler is based on open source software such as LLVM and P4C and is architected based on modern software design principles and methodologies. You will have the opportunity to make significant contributions from day one and will be mentored along the way by senior engineers with a wealth of experience. In addition, you will be interacting with both compiler customers as well as the ASIC team developing the target ASICs.
These are all good points. But what's interesting is that very similar things could also be said about the US healthcare system. And yet unlike American universities, it's not clear that American hospitals or healthcare is worldclass.
What matters is the marginal consumption. It should be really small. Averages don't mean much. I can download one GB of Data for almost free, I doubt I would burn 3 kg of CO2 doing that
Almost charitably, how much confidence do we have that they will abide by these same principles when research showing a combination of intelligence and measurable personality or genetic traits put other collective groups at risk?

Their logic is that abstract ideas, which have been subject to criticism by credentialed intellectuals, cannot be held above the material interests of any human being, and especially beings who must be made more equal because of historic oppression. In this view, logic itself is an artifact of that oppression, and it forms a literal substrate of abuse that deprives people of having the material symbolic things that others do. Appeals to logic or principle cannot be given standing, because these are the literal barriers that confined beings in the first place. To bring change and justice, they cannot accept their enemy's rules of being accountable to logic, truth, principle, or anything that prevents their absolute overthrow of these oppressive systems and places them at the helm.

My argument against this anonymous central committee decree here is that it is a statement of principle by people who reject principles as a matter of principle. Arguing the internal logic of their points directly is to fatally underestimate the malevolence of the people behind them.
Tacoma's nice. I lived there for a few years, and wouldn't mind moving back to that area. That said, where I lived (an apartment on the top of the knob west of the docks), I couldn't realistically bike or walk to anything of value other than the bus stop.

I’ve also started multiple projects with a bunch of initial enthusiasm only to see them fade. Lately I’ve changed to just work on them consistently every day, just 25 mins (or more if I feel like it) and I’ve made more progress in this project than in any of the previous ones.

I switched from heroku to dokku (and DigitalOcean) last month. Overall: easy to adapt from heroku since so many of the concepts (and commands) are the same.

I tried to get too fancy and set two web services on the same app (since the DO droplet was giving me more CPU and 4x the RAM for half the price) but they seemed to battle each other for control of the database and/or were exceeding resources. So I chilled out and used 1 web service and set CPU and RAM resource limits. And... it's been smooth since then! Much faster than heroku, too.

Price-wise: we were on the $50/mo dyno plus $9/mo postgresql, and with DO we beefed up the managed database specs, and now get 4x the RAM on the droplet, and the total cost is the same as heroku.

We do still have a free tier staging server on heroku that we only use a couple times a year.

Oh shoot, I just remembered that I use staticman for processing comments on a couple jekyll blogs, and those use free heroku tiers. Argh!
Show HN: Animated chart presentations in Jupyter notebooks
After releasing our open-source tool to build animated charts in Jupyter and other computational notebooks (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30895975), we got two requests from data scientists:

1. They lacked the opportunity to use these charts to present their findings and control the animation better than just (re)running notebook cells.

2. They had challenges using our generic chart-building engine - they are more acquainted with picking a chart type and using the parameters specific to that type.

So we decided to build a new extension that enables our users to add the charts to slides and thus create interactive, animated presentations they can present right from the notebook. The presentation can be controlled with buttons beneath the charts, keyboard shortcuts (arrows, PgUp, PgDn, Home, End), or a clicker. We also added the capability to export these presentations to HTML to share them with others who don't use notebooks.

Example - scroll to the bottom for the presentation: https://vizzuhq.github.io/ipyvizzu-story/examples/demo/ipyvi....

We tackled the other challenge by introducing chart presets: users can now pick from the 40+ pre-defined chart types. https://ipyvizzu.vizzuhq.com/examples/examples.html#Preset-c...

Everything is released under the Apache 2.0 license and is available for JavaScript developers as an open-source data storytelling solution. Technically, in the Jupyter version, it's the JS lib being called from the notebook with a Python interface - similarly to what Plotly does.

English is my second language, and the comma separating that particle from the rest of the sentence makes it pretty explicit even for me that it is talking about the platform, at the same semantic level as “powerful”, “extensive” and “to serve your sites […]”.
No, the EV pack is not an apt comparison, the battery packs in e.g. those Thinkpads I have around here are. One of them (a T550) has an internal battery pack in addition to the easily replaceable one. It can still be replaced easily after removing the (clearly marked) screws and removing the pack.

As to your experience working for an Apple authorised repair centre I'd suggest that the intersection between Apple users and DIYers is probably smaller than that between e.g. Thinkpad users and DIYers. Part of the appeal of the Apple world lies in its appliance-like nature where things (are supposed to) 'just work', not in its openness to tinkering.

As an aside I must say I'm surprised in the fervour with which these Apple strategies are defended. It is not hard to design a glued-down battery which can be removed by pulling a few tabs as is common in many mobile devices, why defend this clearly wasteful practice? Maybe Apple keyboards are (or were, at least during the 'butterfly keyboard' years - 2015-2019) close to being shot around the time the battery wears out but even so it would be easy to make that keyboard replaceable.

> few of my close colleagues and collaborators are US born- a very small percentage (maybe 10-20%) [..] If it were a true meritocracy, I guess we would expect ~4-5% of US academics to be US born, given that it's our percentage of the world population

It's unrelated to meritocracy. It's just that a significant portion of the world population lives under conditions that are too poor to be able to develop extraordinarily smart people in significant quantities that are able to compete with other smart people born in rich countries. In other words, if you are poor, have poor access to sanitation and nutritious food, you'll be at a severe disadvantage to develop the skills needed to be a top researcher.

A tiny command like this seems trivial, but it actually plays an important role.

It makes trying Deno for the first time frictionless, while placing learning pathways for both module layout and testing. It’s a small accelerant to learning – but one that probably reduces early churn on the learning pathway due to an unnecessary decision.

This command also means that the next 100 tutorials written about Deno will skip a step with `mkdir` and `touch` while standardizing the naming convention of _test.ts files clearly.

A little pebble can change the flow of a large river if it’s placed while the river is still a stream.
It’s outsourcing the “strongly consider” part; that is, donating through an organization that strongly considers effectiveness.

I’m not sure that “we should strongly consider” necessarily means you do the considering yourself, since “we” is fairly vague about who does the work. But maybe the wording could be clarified?
How Resilient Is the Natural Gas Grid?
> In an election year estimated to cost around $14 billion, money from small donors makes up 22 percent of 2020 fundraising — up from 15 percent at this point in 2016.

> In what Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has called “the most important election of our lifetime,” small donor donations already total $2.8 billion — an unprecedented high considering the impact of COVID-19 on the American wallet.

> Biden has seen a high tally of these small donations from a dollars-only standpoint. At around $368 million, money from small donors makes up about 38 percent of Biden’s total. But President Donald Trump has seen a higher proportion of money raised from small donors, with 45 percent, or $268 million, of his total coming from contributions of $200 or less.

From https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2020/10/small-donors-give-b...

Seems like every donation, even those under $200, counts. In a proportion and as part of helping win races.

I had a visualization in mind that showed size of donations per district among other stats but I can't find it now. There are rough estimates for the "cost per vote" based on donations divided by number of votes achieved but obviously there are a number of confounding factors with analyses starting from numbers like those.

As far as redirecting funds to things you believe in, I don't imagine some of the recent changes enacted by recent bills would have taken effect in any way other than getting folks to vote for someone who would help push them through, and donating money for political ads and other kinds of campaigning can often make or break a campaign (I can't think of a better recent example than how JD Vance was just given $28M for the Ohio race that ostensibly favors Republicans).

Donate as much as you feel comfortable to whatever cause you feel good contributing. But it's just wrong that political donations don't do anything. True, it's a drop in a very large bucket. But it's a bucket that has been heavily refined and engineered to have as large an electoral impact as possible by very seasoned professionals.

There's another reason to donate to political campaigns. Much of the money in politics comes from corporate PACs. This money often comes with weird strings attached and doesn't really serve the public interest. Grassroots donations (to the Blue Tribe, in the Red it's likely to just go in someone's pocket) provides a counterweight to this massive influence and is very important in prioritizing politicians' platforms and agenda. If they can rely on public donations, then they can spend less time satisfying corporate donors.

And looking at Copilot, the AI onslaught is coming for us software engineers too. The overdetermined predictions about programmers in the global south taking all western programming jobs will actually come true if/once AI can reliably (eventually) produce working software.

Thanks...I've already done my background reading.

The individuals who committed crimes should be tracked down and prosecuted. However, I still have zero desire for cloudflare and other tech companies to suppress "incorrect" ideas or communities.

I am completely fine with tolerating disgusting people being allowed to communicate, when the alternative is corporations maliciously lording over speech to maximize their profit margins. Even in abscence of that tradeoff, I have no desire to suppress other people's "wrong" opinions, because I acknowledge that "wrong" is completely subjective and variable between groups of people.

Maybe you think this makes me a bad person from your point-of-view, and I respect your right to have and express that viewpoint.
There's nothing stopping somebody from setting up some kind of forum/social service like that tomorrow. I'm skeptical it would be viable though.

We're a large Heroku user currently spending $10-20k/month. This change may lead us to switching to another platform.

We host a lot of individual apps, many that only need free tier DBs and Redis. This change will roughly double the cost of a basic app on pro dynos + DB + redis, from $25/m to $49/m, with no additional benefit.

Heroku is already very expensive. $25/m for 512MB RAM is laughable. At $49/m we could get a decent bare metal server for each of our apps.

If this change included a reduction in pricing to better match alternatives it would be fine. If they only eliminated the free tier for dynos but kept free tiers of add-ons that would be fine. But as is this change will significantly increase the cost for anyone using some free resources.
Hopefully something that actually matters for humanity, and less "game playing" and "stock image market disrupting".
> note that a “Marketplace” (or ACA complaint) plan explicitly transfers wealth from young and/or healthy to old and/or unhealthy, where healthy and unhealthy mean “does not need healthcare” and “needs healthcare”. So by choosing to go with a non Marketplace plan, they are placing their bets on not needing healthcare…which is probably not a winning bet for people birthing and raising young children.

The unfortunate reality is that paying $2000/month to an employer managed health plan is cheaper than going through the federal government ($5,000/month for a family of 4 the last I checked). If marketplace plans had lower premiums and lower deductibles that would be the ideal option.

> When people (me included) criticize EA for it's questionable priorities, it's an expression of exasperation, not an existential attack on the movement or its practitioners.

I have had different experiences with critics of EA. Many critics come off as passive, finding one or two basic disagreements with institutions or moonshot/futurist ideas that they use to justify their total disengagement with their potential positive impact in the world beyond themselves and their friends/families. You might not even call these folks critics - maybe they're just "excuse-seekers"?
