Such a cool story :)

If you'd like this breadcrumb as something that could help make the world of the story feel like it could be our world, here's an interesting thing which is that Alan Turing thought that telepathy could be possible, and tried to account for this when designing the Turing Test.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19728844/extrasensory-pe...

If telepathy were to be possible as described in your story, you could explain it as mind-body dualism being real https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind%E2%80%93body_dualism and that the new animal born from the person temporarily shares a neural link with the person's brain, causing the sharing of one spirit, and that when the neural link is broken as the animal separates, the spirit is still anchored to both parts of the formerly-unified nervous system. The explanation for why this wouldn't happen during standard childbirth is that mother and child don't share a neural link, only a blood link.

Here's another breadcrumb for this idea https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/01/170125093823.h...
This would be far more helpful if you included the dose ranges you allude to, how many you think are required to cause damage, and threw in a few citations.
I don't know why your comment isn't rated higher. That's a lot of very interesting information that is directly relevant to the topic.

Autonomy also means range.
Room temperature & pressure super-conductors, if they exist, might be so rare that you have to accidentally find them and that could happen any time after we have electricity if they are simple enough compounds.
Nuclear plants tend to be underinsured; the bulk of the financial burden of a cleanup after a potential accident will be carried by tax payers. I am not sure if that is true everywhere, but at least in the US (the federal government takes over after the first $15 bn) and parts of Europe. Japan technically not, but practically yes. [0][1][2]

It gets even trickier with plants bordering other countries.

Anti nuclear fearmongering is based on ignorance for the most part, and a kind of exploitative cynicism on the other.

Most people just don’t know how safe nuclear power is. I worked on a nuclear reactor personally. We used to joke that the safest thing we had in the power plant was the radiation. I received less operational exposure in 6 years than typical nuclear medicine procedures create.

The other source is entrenched players in the power industry hate nuclear power because it works, and can credibly produce post scarcity levels of power production.

It is unfortunate that the green energy movement has been lied to and co-opted against this genuinely fantastic energy source.
Cool project. You seem like a fun and interesting person. I genuinely mean that!

The Wayback Machine hasn't got a snapshot, either, it seems.
Guild Wars had the feature of allowing to set a secondary language. This would translate all game text from the main language into the secondary one in real time as long as you hold the given key down. This meant that at any point, you didn't need to fetch a dictionary or translate a word, wasting time and immersion. I'm so sad I haven't found any other game with this feature.

I'm trying to play games with another language, and while sometimes it's ok, other times you really need to know the language to understand how understand mechanics that are introduced into the game. City Skylines was a super tough game to play in a learning language, but it would have been a nice learning exercise if I had the above feature.
Does anyone know what the therapeutic ranges are at different clinics? I'm currently in IV infusion clinic where they start at 0.5 mg/kg, and increase by 0.1 per session. They are trying to target having a light psychedelic experience during the infusion, as they've found that gives the desired antidepressant effects later on, but not so much so as to be really far out, or to be frightening, totally out of body, or loss of consciousness at all.

I'm told the max therapeutic dose they administer is somewhere between 1-2mg/kg, and I believe anesthetic effects come on somewhere in between 2-4mg/kg? Anesthesia doses are administered much faster, so I'm sure that it's not a direct comparison.
While this is a compelling tale of culture war in the US, I think that the culture war aspect has little to do with nuclear's failure, if anything at all. I am continually offended as I encounter people with Ehrlich's 1970s Malthusianism, but these are not the folks stopping nuclear.

Look to France, which has a huge nuclear fleet. Look at what's happened at Flamanville, with a supportive population. What sort of culture war or regulatory arguments could be made to explain France's failures with the EPR design, that so closely mirror the US's failure with the AP1000 design in the past decade?

By focusing on culture war, we miss a bigger story: perhaps nuclear construction is not compatible with modern economies? And perhaps it never was a great fit, according to this quote from the article?

> At first, nuclear energy was too expensive and so less attractive to utilities. But once General Electric and Westinghouse spurred the indus­try onward by becoming loss leaders (they collectively lost around $1 billion building plants) the race was on.18 A herd mentality soon devel­oped as utilities lined up to take advantage of government benefits to build new reactors. So many orders came in that “[w]ith only two companies building plants, a rapid increase in orders escalated costs for major components and strained the limited supply of qualified labor.”19
The API for “Pluggable Authentication Modules” (PAM) seems to be earning its name. It’s an ideal adapter layer for adding interoperable authentication to any program. And since so many programs already consume it, it’s a natural target for new authentication providers to implement. If a backend can serialize its authentication model to users and groups, then it can give those lists to a program that consumes them through PAM to authenticate users and authorize actions.

Thanks to open standards (really POSIX in this case), even a small program can immediately benefit from PAM authentication because it will work in any organizational environment, regardless of whatever over-engineered backend system (like LDAP or Kerberos) or SaaS (like Okta or O365) is providing the list of users and groups.

I think the creators do legitimately want to build a truly open source calculator. The problem is getting the calculator registered for exams - the examiners naturally want to make sure that the calculator isn't being used for cheating. And any method to replace the firmware, add custom applications, etc. can and should be viewed as a way to cheat on exams.

Personally, I'm hopefully never going to take another standardized exam in my life - I'd like to see a graphing calculator that doesn't attempt to get certified for exams or school use, since this seems to be such a significant hurdle. But I know I'm in the 0.1% of graphing calculator users who don't care about AP/IB/the SAT/whatever.

I think your last point is more close to it.

If it broke and I replaced it with a broken appliance then the manufacturer/distributor is to blame. If it broke, and I broke it worse (made it unrepairable) then it's my fault. Sure, I was trying to be frugal and save money doing it myself, but having to admit fault to a professional could be embarrassing.

Easier to displace blame instead of facing truths I guess? Despite repairing this much stuff, I still consider myself a pretty bad mechanic, maybe I'm just too hard on myself.

Here's a reminder:

"Depression" is just a label put on a cluster of symptoms to make diagnoses consistent across medical providers. It is definitely not a singular condition with one cause and a consistent treatment across patients. It is likely a multitude of conditions which will respond differently to many treatments.

Some people with a depression diagnosis will be very disappointed with ketamine treatment.

Doesn't decarbonation imply replacing something? Lots of places with the right distributions of water use hydroelectric, because it was cheaper to build out. Ontario has craploads of water (hello, great lakes) but not much elevation, at least not in the right places.

I'm pretty sure even a casual observer could tell I'm not a native speaker given a sufficiently large sample of my writings. GP is right, the correct thing to do is to just embrace that I'll never be as fluent, as natural in English as I am in Italian.

What is your moral injury? I admit I have guilt from working in big tech too, but how did it affect your mental health?
Fewer and fewer people are interested in manufacturing jobs, especially the less glamorous ones. Large manufacturers are having a hard time using analytics and more advanced systems because of qualified labour shortages. I've spoken to manufacturers whose technicians can't even write or follow instructions correctly. Sometimes, sending 10 technicians to inspect an asset would results in 10 different opinions about possible issues / failures. All of these could lead to lower quality product and increased unscheduled downtimes, lower revenues etc etc. But, it is definitely important to still allow people to use their brains and come up with better options
I genuinely cannot imagine any job worth being constantly spied on.

That seems to conflict with the low operating expenses of nuclear reactors. Once they are built, what is the crippling aspect?
Yeah, that's Weyland-Yutani.
There is no need to do "table lookups of hop count" or to "decrement hop counts". The IP TTL value is just a field that can be read from the IP header, which is trivial since the Python would get the entire IP header from the raw socket. If you see a TTL=1 you send back the forged response as coming from $IP_1, if you see a TTL=2 you forge the response as coming from $IP_2, etc. The forged response can always contain the same default TTL.
Yes, your mileage may vary, as they say. Our bodies are all unique and so are our responses. It was a miracle for me, it might be completely ineffective for someone else.
> ... irrelevant beyond an economic cost to cleanup and contain, both of which can be accounted for

In the US at least it's "accounted for" by shifting those costs onto the public [1].

> Success should be rewarded.

Of course. But there are so many forms of reward, besides money.
Understanding some technology or scientific concept can be a lot more rewarding than getting or holding money imo. Helping people, solving problems or just a conversation can, too.

Fortunately everyone can define these on their own.

That's a tricky one.

HMS Victory: The Total Guide
The issue still is that there objectively could be better headphones released after 2014.

If I saw a photograph of all the cellphones from 2004, I can pick out the best cellphone, this doesn’t mean that the best cellphone from 2004 is still the best cellphone.

It’s implied that “best” usually means what is “best” for what people need today as those needs evolve drastically over time and especially with tech products.
This is a somewhat misleading headline. Everyone who participated in the study was unvaccinated.

> Eligible participants were personnel of the Swiss Armed Forces (SAF) who were aged 18–30 years with a positive or negative RT-PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 during their service between March 1, 2020, and Dec 31, 2020.

And the control group, if I am reading correctly, was all people who did not have COVID (nothing to do with vaccination status although some of them were vaccinated).

So this means really they were comparing the levels in people who had COVID vs. people who did not. The claim that the difference could be related to the vaccination status of the people in the control group seems to be a bit of a leap.
Newer reactor designs with entirely passive safety features remove the need for operators to take particular actions in the event of a problem, so "loss of brain accidents" are no longer possible. (Whether those designs can support the requirements for military use, which are quite different from those for civilian power generation, is a different question.)

That said, civilian nuclear power, at least in the US, was never operated with the same attention to detail and the same intolerance for f[oul]ups as Navy nuclear power; the kinds of mistakes that operators made at TMI (don't even start about Chernobyl, that's a whole other level of insanity) would have gotten Navy nuclear trainees kicked out of the program long before they were allowed to do anything with an actual reactor. (When I was an Engineering Duty Officer working at Norfolk Naval Shipyard, I saw a reactor officer get fired for an administrative error that probably would not even have been on the radar in a civilian plant.) So that can't be a significant part of the explanation of why civilian nuclear power is so costly in the US.

The high cost of civilian nuclear power in the US has always been primarily due to politics: things like unreasonable waste storage requirements imposed by the government (you don't need to store waste for 10,000 years if you reprocess it, like every other nuclear energy using country does) and endless lawsuits delaying plant construction being allowed to proceed even though they were based on no valid technical data whatever.

Working in nuclear under normal operations is boring anyway and consists mostly of watching gauges and other indicators. At least on the submarine we'd scram the reactor and run drills. I'm sure civilian nuclear is less exciting than this. I had one buddy who did it for a career, but just one that I know of.

I think a lot of people want Nim, but either don't know about it, or some language feature turned them off. There are a few polarizing language design choices, but every language has something.

So the thing is that that iceberg lettuce, even if traveling 5,000 miles, with all that plastic packaging etc etc... actually is more green in that it results in fewer emissions than locally sourced animal products.

It's pretty wild, but the emissions from transportation just so happen to be completely dwarfed by the emissions from the actual food production itself, especially when it comes to animal products.

"We find that although food is transported long distances in general (1640 km delivery and 6760 km life-cycle supply chain on average) the GHG emissions associated with food are dominated by the production phase, contributing 83% of the average U.S. household’s 8.1 t CO2e/yr footprint for food consumption. Transportation as a whole represents only 11% of life-cycle GHG emissions, and final delivery from producer to retail contributes only 4%.
[...]
Thus, we suggest that dietary shift can be a more effective means of lowering an average household’s food-related climate footprint than “buying local.” Shifting less than one day per week’s worth of calories from red meat and dairy products to chicken, fish, eggs, or a vegetable-based diet achieves more GHG reduction than buying all locally sourced food."[1]
