Yeah it is ridiculous, and this still completely ignores that e.g. France's plants age quicker than they can renew them, that nuclear will never be safe (not talking the ""normal safe"" but what's the threat in Ukraine right now), that Europe just learns that also nuclear is of not much help during heat and drought (lol, nuclear for base power load), and that whatever will need to happen that going nuclear fully is just not feasible, time-left-wise, economical-wise, supply-wise..

English verb and noun morphology are simple. English phonology and syntax are extremely complex. This is why people say “English has simple grammar”: they’re thinking only about morphology, which is the hard part of Latin, Greek, Russian, etc.
if it's transparent and includes everyone including whoever is in charge it creates objective data to judge performance by. Just like pay transparency if it's universal it's a good way to make compensation more meritocratic. Catching slackers isn't a bad thing, Only doing it in one direction is.

I think you miss typed a zero for literary fluency. There are only 2500 most frequent used characters and 1000 second frequent characters (from 《现代汉语常用字表》, frequent standard Chinese characters list)

Moreover, they are not unique, but composed from common radicals, like prefix/suffix in English.
I listened to the podcast episode yesterday. Apparently some (I think they only cited one person as a source) people use it as a form of motivation and focus. They also said some women view it as a type of equalizer. But the ultimate takeaway was that the systems and the data are inherently not very accurate in their measurements.
> but even more profound was the effect it had for 4 to 6 months after.

It's important to note that this is an atypically long duration. In clinical studies, the duration of effects is more around 1-2 weeks. It's possible that the overall experience (including surviving an accident and getting a "second lease on life") was the trigger for 4-6 months of improvement, not just the medication you were given once.

That's why, in clinical practice, ketamine is more successfully used in conjunction with typical long-term treatments such as SSRIs and therapy. Some studies used a sequence of 6 treatments spread out over months in an attempt to kickstart the recovery, but it's generally not sustainable as a solo therapy.
That sounds frightening. What do yo mean by 'experience only so many deaths' ?
The performance of .NET is adequate for my usage/industry. There are some embedded Python projects we have that we will rewrite in Rust as we are very unhappy with Python performance overall - it's actually a joke that the community worships it.
Ontario is also twice the size of France and 1/4 the population; they're at least in the same order of magnitude. I'd call it a reasonable comparison.
I mean we're in our 30's, even those millenials who do want to do yardwork as a career have hopefully moved beyond the "knocking on doors to mow lawns" stage.
So if you’re good at remembering names, that’s good. If you want to pull your phone out and mess with it for half a minute (versus 3 seconds to pocket a card), then sure. For me, that’s usually a no on both, and I think others are similar.
Maybe. Maybe not. I think the questions of "who pays", "who profits", and "who controls the material" matters a lot. So does learning theory (I don't think games will be the only way to learn). It is definitely a field we should pay close attention to if we care about learning.

For anybody interested in the space, I strongly recommend "What Videogames Have to Teach Us About Learning And Literacy" (James Paul Gee)
When I read this I can't help but think of the meme that goes:

Nuclear power is expensive in no small part because of the safeguards needed to try to avert catastrophic accidents. Humans are fallible, and our best intentions can be subverted by inadequate training; fatigue; inattention; laziness; or what we used to call "a loss-of-brain accident." As a result, we can f[oul] up at any stage of design, construction, operation, or maintenance of a nuclear reactor.

(Neither Three Mile Island [0] nor Chernobyl [1] would have been so disastrous had it not been for cascading sequences of human error.)

Expecting nominal performance by people or machinery is ... unwise; as Admiral Rickover famously said, "you get what you INspect, not what you EXpect."

All that adds to costs.

1Password8 for Windows (which I upgraded to blindly) took away a core security feature in my view, which was "unlock on secure desktop". They say it's in-progress[0], but it's been 9 months already.

Btw, "unlock on secure desktop" basically opens a desktop where no other app/windows can spy or modify the window. This is the envirnoment used when you have to do the UAC approvals in Windows.

Chronic benzo administration can cause depression, so that might not work for everyone.

I'd argue that the term "psychedelic dissociative" accurately captures what ketamine can be.

Knew some insane rednecks that built a gokart with some awesome racing motorcycle engine and transmission they'd pulled from a junkyard. It shredded the rear tires the first couple times they tried to run it; so someone went and found a couple of aircraft tires to put on it. Those held up.

We clocked it up to 130mph but that was just the highest reading of the speedometer in a chase car following. It could have gone much faster had anyone been stupid enough to try.
If that were true, we would likely see a greater variety of discourse and testimonies from people who use hallucinogens.

On the contrary, they tend to sound surprisingly similar in terms of world-view to each other. Once you experience hallucinogens yourself, it becomes pretty clear why that might be.

The obvious conclusion is, of course, that hallucinogens unlock an objective, common reality. That's not what the depth and quality of the observations produced suggest, however.

Good one!

I ranted on reddit about this topic a while ago but the gist of it is that the stakes of online harm are just so much higher now than they were 10 or 20 years ago. I feel like I learned about safety online in the hard way: failing, but I went through the stages of everything back when the cost of mistakes was needing to wipe a drive and start over, the upcoming youth today won't have that luxury.

The other complicating problem is just how few people are actually good at it. Who is suitable to be the teachers in this space? I wouldn't say I'm an expert by any means, I've just been burned enough times to be skeptical by default and trust virtually nothing anymore. I guess that's a good start, but how does that get passed onto the next generation in a productive way?
Battery technology seems like a good candidate given its long period of stagnation. Our current progression was informed by the hiatus like the microcontroller required lithium ion.

I have some articles on my web site typicalprogrammer.com that describe my experience and offer some opinions about freelancing.

I’ve worked with Unix since it came out, and cloud infrastructure since it became available. Most customers have fairly simple setups but you have to know about security, performance/networking, Linux configuration and maintenance, and how the various cloud providers work. System admin makes a good freelancing business because small/medium-size companies don’t usually have enough work to keep someone full-time, so either their programmers do it (badly and reluctantly) or they outsource.
It’s a simple dynamic programming problem. /s

Try Shapr3D on macOS and iOS and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised -- maybe even shocked -- at how amazing CAD software can be. Should be. The UX quality is exceptional and inspiring.

P.S. I have no connection to the product or company (based in Budapest I think).
My thinking boils down to this question. What if storage, smart grids, and conservation don’t pan out? Batteries may reach some practical limits and not end up being feasible for global grid scale storage.

Would we rather live in a world where we grind out building more nuclear capacity, one with rolling blackouts in the OECD, or runaway climate change?
It is literally the hardest language to learn for English speakers. Regardless of what you hear about the elegance of its grammar, this is a real fact backed up with evidence from past learners. Know what you're getting yourself into.
Not OP, but at at least most corporate pawns are cynically aware of how artificial the system is and that you need to play games to get ahead (or just coast along if you don't care). Academia has a luster of meritocracy when in reality you need to game things just as hard to become successful.

> "Rome" is effectively used by the author as a placeholder for "ancient world." ... Rome is not particularly unique. That's an anglocentric notion.

I'm not understanding your criticism of the author choosing Rome. The authors' expertise is in this region of the world & the Romans in particular. Would you have been happier if he'd picked Han China? Would the conclusions have been any different?

>> The author's point is that an Industrial Revolution requires a very precise set of conditions to occur.
>>> This is the point I am pushing back against. I mean, how do you distinguish between a conditional requirement and a post fact anecdote? Just because it happened a certain way, doesn't mean that it had to happen that way.

I didn't represent the authors point very well. He acknowledges in the article—

"Now all of that said I want to reiterate that the industrial revolution only happened once in one place so may well could have happened somewhere else in a different way with different preconditions; we’ll never really know because our one industrial revolution spread over the whole globe before any other industrial revolutions happened."

The only option we have is to look at all the other potentials that existed during the 1700s. Why didn't the IR trigger in Italy? Or Russia? Qing China had a lot of the same positive variables, including tech tree depth. So what was unique about Britain at that time? This is why historians zero in on things like coal, and textiles. But we can't know for sure because of the sample size of 1.
I tend to be critical of Apple, but the spectre of them charging for sudo is absurd. I suspect that the actual reason is boring: This is a developer oriented feature and these features aren't judged as important as other stuff.
Shhh, don't disturb the pro-nuke narrative with 'facts'. Elsewhere in this thread they try to blame regulations. US regulations don't apply in China and Russia, but they can't make it economic either.
I saw Ketamine remove depression immediately after a single dose in a loved one. Thought it was magic, because it was, a lifetime of depression just evaporated like nothing. But then came the psychosis. Nearly got stabbed in my sleep because a voice told them to do that.

So... let's just say I think there are other explanations, too.

Because the grammatical case is a morpho-syntactical category of flexion.

Suffixes are not inflections.
I would love to hear more of your thoughts on that.

I could see that being the case with 2d focussed cad tools such as AutoCad, however “3d first” tools like Revit for architecture or SolidWorks for product design are so far removed form traditional drafting I don’t realy see any alignment.
> The pro-nuclear lobby has no argument against Chernobyl

> Likewise, Fukushima, which along with Chernobyl is the only other level seven nuclear incident, is simply written off

So let's not ignore Chernobyl. Let's say hypothetically that we build our entire power grid out of nuclear power plants that use the exact same design as the reactors at Chernobyl. Still better than using fossil fuels. And it's a stupid comparison because nuclear is only needed for base load, not the whole grid, and we have much better designs.

Fukushima, I absolutely do write off for the exact reason you quote "No one was harmed by nor did anyone receive lethal doses of radiation."

> nuclear waste from fuel processing, nuclear waste from fuel, transporting of fuel and waste

Don't care about the waste issue, because current power sources are dumping the waste into the atmosphere continuously. Don't care that it lasts 100K years. Don't care that someone in 10K years could be killed. I don't care because the alternative carbon based power is killing people right now, so nuclear is better than that.

> trusting people in corporations and governments to adequately build and maintain such plants

Don't care because of the aforementioned fact that nuclear meltdowns are much less harmful than global warming, which is the side effect of our current power generation system.

> not a single nuclear power plant in the world hasn't been built without significant government help

Don't care that it's more expensive and needs govt subsidies. Don't care because it's better than using fossil fuels and causing more global warming. Happy to have my taxes go up for this purpose.

But what about solar/wind/storage?

Don't care because doesn't exist (yet). Show me one reasonably sized area where this powers 100% of the grid (areas w/ hydro don't count), and then I'll care. Using existing tech now is the lower risk option. Don't care about predictions that large scale storage will be ready in X years because predicting when new tech will be ready is basically impossible.
Physical presence makes sense. I didn't really think it through but it's just the same as any other 2FA: you want something you know and something you have. Thanks.
The thing most people don't get about the Nazi scientists is that Nazi science was actually pretty bad because it turns out being a Nazi makes you a worse scientist. The horrific "experiments" most people think of had no scientific value and amounted to little more than torture and abuse but even "normal" science was hampered by paranoia about the supposedly corrupting influence of Jewish scientists' research.

The same is true about the Wunderwaffen btw. The "wonder weapons" were more of a lame marketing gimmick than actually feasible threats. They were mostly inconveniently oversized versions of existing weapons with no strategic use. Most of them never saw the light of day but wouldn't have skewed the outcome of the war, at least not in any direction favorable to the Nazis themselves.
In the episode, you here about people who like the monitoring as it "levels the playing field" and reduces the perceived performance (eg: slackers that get promoted), leaving only the concrete performance as monitored by such tools

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with that position personally, just exposing it
The article starts by praising the French nuclear program in the 70s. Yet, that same nuclear program is currently going through a complete debacle, failing to provide for its own country's needs, and is partially the reason prices are going into the stratosphere on the whole continent. If you can't factor in the reality of what is actually happening as we speak as a potential risk for your analysis, well...

The French futures market is almost at 2000 Euros per MWh for the next two quarters [1]. You'd think the market is not anticipating those nuclear plants are coming back online any time soon.

Can we not talk about this as a success story please?

I don't have a real opinion on this subject, but wanted to point out that 1,000 square miles is not really as big as it sounds: a square 31.6 miles on each side. About the size of Rhode Island's land area.
Rivers provided the power for water. Steam engines were a kind of hack to allow you to run pump powered machines away from rivers, but this was a tiny proportion of the first part of the industrial Revolution.

And perfect streams weren’t required, just water falling a certain height. Headraces and tailraces were dug to distribute water power to places nearby but not directly on a river. I’m thinking of cities like Minneapolis built on rivers whose industry (milling grain to flour) was powered precisely by such water-driven machines.
It sounds really interesting to work in a manufacturing plant for a year or two in order to empathize with the industry and learn how to blend in software in a way that actually solves problems like you describe. Or, generally, to penetrate areas where technology solutions don't apply obviously. I wonder how you'd set that kind of arrangement up. If you could design a company around displacing a few cofounders for a few years where the product research is hands on, on the ground, doing the job, I bet there are many people who would be interested in this type of setup. I agree the software industry does way too much "solve for ourselves first" type of product development and it's really discouraging.
Swedish and German are very closely related languages, so you probably had tons of implicit intuition about how Germanic languages work that didn’t have to be studied.
The bit you’ve missed out here is that the ARM64 ISA is very different to earlier Arm ISAs and that Apple almost certainly was deeply involved in its development and was first with a production core.

Given that and in the absence of a clear rationale I find it hard to see why Apple would want to to incur the costs of a move to an ISA it’s had no influence over - certainly not to save an immaterial licensing fee.

A word of caution: Ketamine treatment is far from standardized. Most of the clinical studies I've read aren't using doses that produce profound psychedelic trips. The more professional clinics seem to have settled on dosing regimens that produce mild impairment, but not the full-blown dissociative trips described in many of these articles.

Meanwhile, there are a lot of questionable ketamine clinic providers popping up all over the country that give much higher doses. Some of them promote the psychedelic angle heavily in their marketing materials, as it has become a major revenue generator from patients who read articles like this one. While a single medium to high dose of ketamine may not produce marked negative effects, some of the high-dose, repeat-dosing regimens used by alternative therapy providers are in the range where I'd begin to be very concerned about lasting damage.

I would strongly caution anyone curious about ketamine treatment to stick to the lower-dose clinics and providers. Avoid anyone trying to sell you on "psychedelic therapy" or who has a reputation on the internet of providing excessively large doses. Also keep in mind that the antidepressant effects are short-lived, so plan to engage with traditional long-term treatment (therapy and/or antidepressants) to create a lasting strategy for yourself when the short-term effects of the ketamine wear off.
Who said it's easy?

It seems to require a team of people based on some stuff I saw. A painter that has mastered the technique of the artist being copied. A canvas/substrate maker. ,Or sometimes they can find an old unused canvas and they paint on it so it passes dating tests. The paint ingredients usually have to be gotten from very specific locations, then require an expert in creating the old style paints from it. Sometimes they can find authentic old paint to use. Someone that knows how to recreate wear, tear and time damage to match the original. Finding old materials from the same time period and working it into the forgery is a common tactic.

Its quite an interesting situation if you have some free time to read or watch the many documentaries on the subject.

The mona lisa has a crazy history of being stolen, borrowed and lost so many times it could easily be a fake. And that is one of the most famous well known and closely watched artworks. What does that say about the rest...

I'm sure you are right that the majority of fakes are probably just sold directly to rich suckers. I don't think jail is a very high risk either. It seems most of the time these things are quietly swept under the rug when discovered even when reputable sellers get caught up in it. Of course this is on of those things that stats basically don't exist since it is all back room deals and confidential accounts. Hard to prove and as you mentioned no one wants to crash the market.
