(1) There is fear that any advance in nuclear power technology will lead to corresponding advances in nuclear weapons technology. For instance, if somebody built a perfect system for separating out protactinium from a thorium MSR, that protactinium could be allowed to decay outside the reactor and produce pure U233 that could be used to make weapons. That perfect system is probably not practical, but in general there is fear that any new approach to fuel processing could have unintended consequences. Would it be possible, for instance, to make something like the EBR-II that breeds weapon grade plutonium in a blanket and uses some form of pyroprocessing to produce pure metallic plutonium? Such a system might be able to make enough material to build several weapons a year.

(2) The published information about nuclear proliferation is incomplete and the mental models behind it are broken. For instance, the "little boy" bomb was made with uranium produced with a

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

but for all the fear that countries like Iran would develop centrifuges, there has been little fear expressed about Calutrons... Except that when Iraq tried to develop a bomb it used the exact same approach used by the US! A scientist at CERN had been contacted by an Iraqi scientist who was interested in a magnet which could have been used for a Calutron and the proliferation authorities just blew him off.

See https://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Iraq/andre/ISRI-95-03.pdf

A country like Japan has large amounts of plutonium which is contaminated with Pu240 and Pu241 and not weapons usable but it's plausible that a modified Calutron could be used to purify non-weapons grade plutonium and make it weapons grade.

Although the conventional model is that a threat would make plutonium by irradiating uranium with neutrons from a fission reactor, it's also possible that a fusion reactor or particle accelerator could be used as a neutron source to do the same. The later would actually have less heat output per unit of Pu and might be an easier device to hide. Current particle accelerators aren't reliable or economical enough for this purpose, but this is just one of many paths to proliferation which are ignored.
$239/year is about $20/month; billed weekly, each charge is a bit under $5. This does not look like an extremely high charge to Apple's target demographic.
This isn't about liability. It's about shifting the decision of whether to disclose, and on what timetable, entirely back on the vendor.
But don't expect it to show up on maps.earth right away... it looks like it's at least a month behind OSM at this point.
Stay the course, and when it cycles you out, or you burn out, you have had made some good money, and then you can go to the other side and join a startup. Both are great experience.
Maybe demand has slowed and they want to keep it up.

A madlibs is more predictable, requires only one example, easy to understand for people with language issues or disabilities, more regulation-safe as it doesn't spit out unpredictable things.

And the madlibs is free to use, for everyone.

All things considered, GPT-3 is a more of a shibboleth of AI revolution than an actual one. Much better to give models like GPT-NeoX to talented development teams who can really optimize and fine tune it, attach great sampling strategies to it, and create great products from there. The API is just too limited for me to want to build a company atop it.

Vancouver can pass for most US cities. Just not LA. The empty streets and well dressed extra is just because everything was purposely removed from area for the shot and nothing natural remains. So shooting in Chicago or Albuquerque has the same result.

Let Apple embrace this forced change. Let them squeeze as much money as they can out of doing the right thing. This is no time to be petty, it's win-win.
It is literally just a tube with a fan blowing over it. Most designs just barely solidify it, so any over-temperature events also cause a passive shutdown.
I suspect most cars have a manual process available. Mine does, it takes a while though and involved letting the air out of the tire for 30 seconds, and then setting each tire to a different pressure - in my case the car wants to know which tire is in which position.

Other cars that don't care about that usually just have a button on the dash you can press to start the relearn process.
Up until you press the power button & get bumpkiss. Then you need a known good copy of half the components in the machine to weed out the bad one.

(In my case, it was the PSU. It was particularly tricky as the PSU wasn't completely dead.)
Hahaha, wow that went right over my head.
Ahhh, yes I see where you got lost. You are assuming that they either:

* Have a team willing to commit to managing CAs as part of the DC/Login infrastructure.

or

* Are actually using something like Vault in their infrastructure.

Common mistake, really.

In all seriousness you would be amazed how many places neither of those things are true for, and additionally how much sheer effort it would take to make them true at those orgs.
Wow, Lisp ranks in the top 4/1000 of use? I didn't know we were that popular :-)

Seriously though, I think I like Common Lisp so much just because I have been using it since about 1982 and I am just very used to it. For a lot of work, I will just use Python if there are one or more Python libraries that solve whatever problem I am working on with just a few lines added Python code that I need to write.
That’s a strong opinion. Would you elaborate?
Sadly it is becoming the norm. Even at small and medium sized companies.
Being fit can have a huge impact on individuals life. Like it or not the way you look affects how you are perceived by others. There are studies which showed good looks can help boost career.

Being fit, not steroid fit can be great for your joints and overall health. It doesn't mean you won't get cancer. It just means that if you exercise and have muscle, your joints have better support. Your lungs will probably have better function than someone who doesn't exercise. Plus, it lowers your risks.

That’s precisely why it’s confusing, yes. You can’t equate 100% cheaper with 1x cheaper. 99% cheaper is sensible. 200% cheaper is not. 2x cheaper is. I’d love a cogent reason to explain this convention.
Imagine every conceivable image is laid out on the ground, images which are similar to each other are closer together. You’re looking at an image of a face. Some nearby images might be happier, sadder, with different hair or eye colours, every possibility in every combination all around it. There are a lot of images, so it is hard to know where to look if you want something specific, even if it is nearby. They’re going to write software to point you in the right direction, by describing what you want in text.

Here’s an example of this sort of manipulation: https://arxiv.org/abs/2102.01187

… like the author, I'd like to rebuild most of my current machine. I think I have a bad PSU, and I did the research, settled on what I thought was the replacement and clicked "purchase" and … the site reliably times out.

The component has even gone through a sale, in the time I've been checking. The price isn't $70, EVGA, it's $∞.

Seriously, what does CrowdStrike Falcon do to slow down work computers so much? I recently switched gigs and no longer use Crowdstrike, and I didn't realize just how bad it was until I no longer had to deal with it.

I've heard there are workarounds to disable or remove CrowdStrike, but I was too concerned that the IT overlords would come after me at my previous employer.
It's an indication that OpenAI picked the wrong place to monetize. Picks and shovels are rapidly falling to zero margin.
Only if you support all of the necessary Vulkan features and extensions. The article states that getting to that point would be a multi-year full time effort, whereas "only" OpenGL seems to be within grasp for this year. And arguably having a lower OpenGL standard soon is better than OpenGL 4.6 in a few years.
I dunno. I can imagine any of those points being the subject of a civil suit and for someone to win damages, for e.g. psychological harm. The parts talking about “effect” instead of intent are of questionable enforceability - how can I agree not to cause an unanticipated effect on a third party? I cannot. But having said that, I can be asked to account for effects that a “reasonable person” would anticipate, so there’s that.

These are all things that someone could sue over (especially in California) and so they’re wanting to place the responsibility on the artist and not their tools.
I don't know how to start one. It would be nice to have an API to deal with that for me.
Wrong or not, the point is that many websites that declared`xhtml` back in a day failed validation and the majority of developers didn't like it. Browser vendors (WHATWG) didn't like that their browsers showed dead pages (parsing errors) more often than not.

Some estimates say that 99% of HTML pages in the wild have at least one error in them. Yes, they errors would probably be fixed if it stopped browsers from rendering the page.

Browser plugins also had to speak valid XHTML and be able to modify documents correctly. In-line JavaScript was...funny looking. CSS also behaved differently in XHTML.

I, personally, liked XHTML behavior because errors in HTML were essentially Undefined Behavior. That resulted in different results from browser to browser (back when we had multiple browsers and not just Chrome). However, I also like Rust, so maybe it's a fetish? /s

We didn't really have good tools back then, and the way HTML was generated wasn't brilliant. Currently, I'm making a website in Yew, and it won't even compile if I don't have tags correctly placed and closed because everything inside `html!` macro gets turned into rust code and then HTML gets built. I think JSX behaves similarly?
Some problems with that:

* The US had a single national language (despite regional linguistic minorities). In the EU, the closest would be English, which is the universal second language but very few people’s first language.

* Relatedly, the US in 1789 was very culturally homogenous by modern standards. Europe is not.

* The wealth disparity between countries inside the EU is absolutely massive. Federation would lead to unfathomably massive wealth transfers from the North and West to East and South. This would lead to resentment and rekindled nationalism that would create extreme political strife and tear the whole continent apart.
I actually don't know what you mean by that, but, the "insurance industry comes out ahead on average" is true both of individual policies and on average, which is why his response is kinda irrelevant. If you're a high-claim buyer that will get passed along to you in your premiums (which is what I specifically said in the first paragraph). They don't just write "here's the average policy, we'll do this for all situations" because then they would be hit by adverse selection. All homeowners/etc are underwritten against a specific property and person.

Of course any particular policy may end up being a win or a loss for the insurer - but - the policy is written so the insurer wins on average, and that's also true of any particular rider or supplemental coverage. The expected value of all particular policies and all particular supplementals/riders is, from the insurer's data, negative for the buyer, otherwise they won't write it.

I did not address it in that comment in particular, but in the specific case of when you already have an accidental damage rider or it's generally included in your policy, whether you should take it... the answer is probably yes, but, you should also expect it to impact your rates down the road, especially if you do it more than once. You'll have to weigh that, and sometimes it's not worth it unless it's part of a larger claim. Yeah, sometimes you do win on a particular insurance policy but... the insurer can still win on the backside too, with higher premiums in the long term. And even if you pick up and move insurers, the next insurer will see that claim too and it will affect the quotes you get. Again, not a money fountain, it's just risk smoothing.

What I was more going for was, in general the net expected value is negative so you shouldn't take the rider, because it will come back in your rates if you actually need to use it. The rider premium isn't the total cost here, there's additional long-term costs if you end up being a claims pest. Homeowners is not designed for every time you drop your laptop, and if you use it in that way you'll end up with substantially higher premiums in the long term to account for it.
59% of Americans are correct, but damn! Have they really thought through what they're saying? They've profited handsomely from these kids and now they're worried if these kids have more money so they can live then that'll make things harder for the rest of Americans? That's just messed up.

That's not to say that student loan forgiveness across the board is necessarily a good idea, but inflation worries is not what we should be considering when discussing this topic.

My new therapy. But i do micro-greens and then sit back and enjoy eating them once they grow. I am absolutely madly in love with micro green salads. Once i get some time i will automate some of the stuff with a nice little and some water pumps. Maybe even a few ground sensors.
AFAICT: making a navigation/direction model that can translate phrase-based directions into actual map-based directions, with the caveat that the model would be updated primarily by giving it feedback the same way that you would give a person feedback.

I'm about to retire one Nexus 5 from phone duty (the other I'm using as a dashcam) only because I'll need to have VOLTE when visiting the US from Canada.

Carriers offer "deals" on new phones, like the Pixel 6a. For $10 a month over 2 years, BUT you have to sign up for a more expensive plan for more gigabytes than most people need - an extra $22.50 a month making the real price of the phone $780.

Having had to replace screens from time to time, replacement screens for the newest Pixels are in the $200 range.

Pixel 4a's can be found in the $200-300 range and the replacement screens are reasonably priced.

The mid range OnePlus phones have a number of disgruntled reviews - a shame because OP offers reasonably priced parts directly.

Too bad Fairphone is unavailable in North America.
It’s always weird to me when I hear people with custom ringtones on their phones, it feels super boomer and a bit embarrassing. I’m not sure I’ve even heard my iPhone 12 ever audibly ring, vibrate or gtfo.

Not necessarily; that would be suicidal. And take in mind that you are perfectly describing humans (and dogs)
It seems like the sort of things you would require so that HuggingFace doesn't get roped in as defendants in lawsuits related to things that others do with the code. So if for example someone builds something that generates medical advice and gets sued for violating FDA requirements or damages or whatever then HuggingFace can say that was not something they allowed in the first place.
You could also do it over multicast.

The big downside is that if some people are on WiFi then they'll be reduced down to 802.11b speed.

A better solution would be to do server/player discovery via multicast and then stitch up unicast links for the actual gameplay.
rodo looks quite cool! It’s interesting to see how common the syntax is with these formats, so there seem to be “natural” patterns.

[x]it! doesn’t try to be opinionated about what you use it for. So you could use it for your daily todos, but you could also use it for writing a packing list, or maintaining a wish list with potential shopping items. It’s intended to be a generic file format, and more specific use-cases could be supported through (independent) tooling.
I think you can simplify this to one idea; awareness.

Once you become aware of your "addiction", you become much more sensitive of these "principles".

One of my favorite ways to do this is to take a piece of paper and tally how many times I either go to one of these websites or think about it and stop myself in the process.

Most people can just open up their ScreenTime on iOS and see these values, but it really shows you how much time you waste on it. I found myself picking up a phone every 15 minutes in my waking day. It made me so much more aware of my bad habits.
Yeah, maybe i'm old (and/or just have not conducted hardware upgrades as often as i used to years ago), but it feels like nowadays, the lifetime of builds and associated hardware has grown to be...shorter lifespan than in the past. Or, maybe its just me? I almost never play games anymore, and have long switched to linux for my daily com0puting needs, so admittedly that has allowed me to stretch things waaay longer than in the past...but hardware just feels like it needs to get replaced more often and has plain less life than in the past. Oh well.
Who is the audience for this piece?

>Most annoying to me, everything is also shot in an extremely conventional way, using the most conventional set ups to indicate mystery or intrigue as possible—to indicate that something weird is going on the framing always has a dutch angle, for example—or more often just having everyone shot in a medium close up.

I have zero idea what the "conventional way" or the "most conventional set ups" are. Likewise, who know what a "dutch angle" even is?

I have to assume this was written for an audience of film students or people in the industry, because nobody else knows about this kind of stuff or cares.
DALL-E 2 just got smoked. Anyone with a graphics card isn't going to pay to generate images, or have their prompts blocked because of the overly aggressive anti-abuse filter, or have to put up with the DALL-E 2 "signature" in the corner. It makes me wonder how OpenAI is going to work around this because this makes DALL-E 2 a very uncompetitive proposition. Except, of course, for people without graphics cards, but it's not 2020 anymore.
You’re confusing the EU with NATO.

Trade with Russia was obviously positive for the EU, as can be noticed from the economic damage and energy availability crisis.

[Disclaimer: Databricks employee] There's also a lot of value in DBSQL, Unity catalog (data management), and serverless for autoscaling that can all save money in terms of just running raw Spark. But if you want to operate Spark yourself, cool do it. We're happy for that, it builds the base of Spark committers over time and increases the quality of our products.

I actually rather enjoyed Locke, and it's exactly that — one man talking on the phone while driving his car at night for 90 minutes.

The Queen's Gambit however, as visually compelling as it was, couldn't hold my attention. Too many tropes.
The other day I found a bloody CSS framework of all things for a specific retro style or the like trending on the front page of HN - whose GitHub failed to include images anywhere, or even an easy to access example link.

I just cannot understand people’s aversion to including images in instances where the core point of the article or project is visual technology.

It does not take long to take a screenshot or two of either what you’re discussing, as in the case of this article, or what your project is capable of, as in the case of that CSS framework.

‘A picture is worth a thousand words’ has never rung truer in situations regarding visual technology.

It wont, though. That’s the thing. It’s the same thing that happened to classical animation. A hundred years of technique and mastery passed down from generation to generation, now completely lost.
I’ll never allow a tv in my house to connect to the internet. I just stream everything via my apple TV set top box. Nice separation of concerns.
> That's the point of a boss.

I disagree. The point of a boss is to squeeze as much productivity as possible from contributors in order to meet business goals. If they do that as a humane understanding collaborator or as a micromanaging tyrant depends on two factors: what kind of person they are and how much leeway does upper management allow. If a boss is of the 'telling their boss to eat shit' variety, they're usually not going to stay a boss for long..
> corrosion resistant materials for containing / moving molten salt

I'm interested to see what Moltex can do to simplify matters:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qJpVClxzVM&t=758s

Instead of pumping the salt around, they plan to leave it sitting in stainless steel tubes, and use simple convection to extract the heat. Oak Ridge rejected this idea in the 1950s because they were trying to power an aircraft, but convection makes more sense when the reactor isn't moving.
Hah, my car does have real TPMS sensors but the dashboard display is such that the only thing it can say is a vague "low tire pressure" warning, with no indication of which tire or how low it is. I should get an OBD adapter one of these days.

Curious about all the negative experiences with UTM; for me it was a breeze to set up both an Ubuntu/aarch64 and a Windows 11 VM, though the process to get a windows installer iso was a bit silly.

Biggest problem for me is that it seems every solution for running a VM on Apple Silicon puts a big ding in the otherwise insane battery life. I'd love to have a Linux VM "at the ready" similar to WSL2 but there doesn't seem to be a great way to achieve this.
They were designed to be as small as possible, which sacrificed internal access. I doubt they purposefully made repairablity difficult. It just wasn't a major factor when 90% of the time they just give you a new laptop when you show up at Apple with a broken one (with a warranty or Apple+).
That's what they seem to be talking about. If you want to buy replacement ICs from Texas Instruments, you can't. Apple won't let you order the parts from them, entirely because they want to monopolize the Macbook repair pipeline. Your only choice is buying sketchy third-party components, or risking damage by removing a similar part off a donor board. This is entirely a side effect of Apple's control over their supply chain, and it's 100% a conscious decision. The only word suitable for describing it is 'petty', but that seems to be the crux of most of Apple's business decisions recently.
