This issue is not that simple to be framed as "painting the nuclear industry as evil anti-environmental cabals", like usual conservative propaganda. How many nuclear reactor actually has been shut down in last 5 years? Wait, zero? Yeah, the plan is shutting down reactors after its design life rather than blindly extending it more and more, which is the status quo.

Nuclear fission definitely has lots of advantages, but it comes with lots of geopolitical and operational challenges especially if you want to use it for decades, or so called "sustainability". One of the critical factor of "escaping from nuclear fission" was the fact that S Korea is not going to have permanent nuclear waste sites anytime soon; everyone have been talking about that over 30 years and no political party even dare to build the one because in S Korea, every single political issue eventually converges to a matter of real estate. And you know what? The capacity of the existing temporary storage for most plants will be exhausted within 5~10 years.

Now we're talking about the so-called "sustainability"; it's not about environment or whatever liberal propaganda but the dire facts that S Korea will be forced to shut down nuclear reactors unless it finds other ways around. The previous administration couldn't come up with a good solution so decided not to build more reactors. Oh yeah, they didn't even dare to shut down those reactors to earn a little bit more time. It's not even a propaganda, but just a mediocre compromise. Its territory is not big enough to construct just a single waste site.

Oh, then why don't we reprocess the waste? And now we're talking about geopolitical aspects. The US-Korea atomic energy agreement severely constrains what S Korea can do with the waste. Unlike many first world countries, it doesn't have the reprocessing technology and unlikely have the one unless it begins enjoying political tensions with the US.

Nuclear waste is just a tip of iceberg; you're going to find an arbitrary many number of operational and economical challenges on Nuclear fission reactor. And
I also want to mention general public reception on nuclear energy, "I trust nuclear energy, but not its operators". Yeah, Korean nuclear industry is well corrupted to its root and it deserves its own reputation. In the era of climate crisis, going to nuclear fission seems no-brainer, but the devil is in the detail.
Plus the US probably will benefit from industries moving production from Europe to the US due to the cost of energy, not to mention the boom for American Oil and Gas replacing soviet sources.
Yeah, seems to be a common misinterpretation of this Scientific American article from the 70s (only unlocked source i could find) https://cdn.antymateria.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Histo...

This seems like something obvious, but I didn't really appreciate it until I was actually using copilot day to day.

When you're using it on a code base that it's familiar with, it'll often suggestion quality of life suggestions that you may not know about.

For example, using unity, did you know

Mathf.RoundToInt

Was a thing?

I didn't, until I was using a normal way of doing it (eg. `(int) Math.Round(v);` and copilot popped this suggestion up.

I had similar experiences using opencv in python.

Maybe the suggestions aren't always perfect, but what it does do, is show you how other people have written code using the same engine/plugin/library you're using; and when you're learning a new API, that's extremely valuable.

The alternative (finding github projects using library X, browsing through the code) lets you do the same thing too, but its much much slower to pickup the same 'tips' about an API that way.

Specifically with regard to "give people a new task they haven't done before in language X with/without copilot", this kind of 'tip' for using an unfamiliar API seems high plausible for getting developers up to speed.

I wish it had support for doing this in a way that was 'favour suggestions like existing code base' to help on-board new developers.

That would be really really useful.

Great writeup. I too have a long reading list - currently at 133.

I use my own little side project (Savory) to track the list. When I come across a page that I don't have the time or energy to finish right now, I save it and add the "reading" tag to it. When I have free time, I can open the reading tag and pick up something new to read.

The best part is that I usually add a couple more tags (e.g. "security" or "economics" etc.) when I save a link. This way, the reading list allows me to filter by topic. It has been an unexpected hack to attack the growing list, since I am usually able to finish multiple articles in a single run, all in the same topic, because there is usually a link between them even when I might have saved them days or weeks apart.

Anyway I like how OP actually has a reading history. I really need to add something similar in Savory. Right now, when I finish reading something, I just remove the "reading" tag and I don't get a neat history.
I initially punished a comment disagreeing with you, but after thinking about it more, I agree. Google's clearly signalled that they don't want Adblockers to use "read/write data on all websites"; just like Apple did, Chrome's whole idea with Manifest v3 was to make that go away. Frankly, with the genuinely malicious extensions people keep installing, probably for the best. Furthermore having uBlock Origin "continue to behave as normal" will confuse users and make them think uBO is still blocking everything users expect it to (i.e. tracking), which can surely endanger some users.

Click bait.
I recently used Copilot while learning Rust and it was immensely helpful for the learning process. There were a lot of language features that I learned about by seeing Copilot use them.

As for mistakes, I've got a good enough sense for reading code in any language to know if something is obviously wrong with an algorithm. The mistakes Copilot makes aren't usually to do with language-specific syntax, they're typically algorithmic and therefore easy to spot in any language. This makes sense if you think about GPT-3's output for English: it tends to be syntactically correct, but often completely wrong about facts.

It helps that Rust's compiler is so picky and so helpful, because on the rare occasions when Copilot was completely wrong about the language the compiler could set me straight pretty quickly. Writing automated tests also helped and was made easy by Copilot. I could write a single test case showing how to use the API, and then just write function names to generate the rest of the tests (obviously I would sanity-check the assertions Copilot produced).
For some companies, maybe they have a large enough codebase of boilerplate functions that they can train their own models on. Oracle's own private co pilot instance or something like that, just pumping out more and more corporate code.
Engineers know how to find a service or a data store that meets a particular need. If extraordinarily skilled, they might even know how to find the best one. Wizards know how to go exploring in the wilderness beyond an API boundary to track down particular problems. A god’s eye view of all services, all data stores, all relationships, and all flows can at best be machine generated. Only extreme zoom levels of tiny regions are of any meaning to a human reader. It’s the difference between going shopping and accounting for all the flows of goods and services in an economy.

Back in 2005 or 2006, I made a Linux that exported the filesystem this way, and it worked by mounting / as a network volume. This worked by doing a particular dance with "pivot_root" at the beginning and a union mount with a tmpfs volume. We used it to play LAN games in the computer lab. Because the network booting Linux didn't touch the local hard drive, you could clean up after yourself just by shutting down the machines. It was also nice and fast, because the machines all had gigabit ethernet and the file server was serving from cache most of the time. It ended up being noticeably better than running off local hard disk... this was the era before SSDs took over, obviously.

I agree that insurance is maybe not the best analogy. You need satellite capacity to send one text message. When your house burns down, you need potentially hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars.

The satellites are expensive, of course, but most traffic is not cell phone users needing to be rescued.
Once I switched to pnpm many of those problems went away for me. I manage a slew of js/ts monorepos and pnpm is a god send, not because of performance or workspaces, but because things get resolved sanely.

Do Airpods suffer lower audio quality when the mic is live, like all the other Bluetooth headsets I've tried?
Maybe I’m weird, but I kindof like programming. Even my own “boiler plate”. And good coding practices combined with well factored code design and planning (even in the micro-moment to moment sense of design and planning) usually avoids most “boiler plate”. (“Boiler plate” is usually a misnomer in modern well-designed languages. If the pl or ps makes you write something out, it usually is bcs you have the opportunity/obligation to think about it and usually to tweak it. If it was actually always the same, it would have good defaults and wouldn’t be there at all.)
No doubt. Or not even have such minor contributors as authors in the first place. Perhaps you should have to have actually written part of the paper, like an actual author, or at least done some novel research of your own. Technicians and others who assisted with it, even did all of the grunt work could just be acknowledged if they want some fame. But I guess that authorship is a kind of payment-by-exposure instead of actual money and enough people are desperate enough to take it.

OnlyFans didn't create any technological innovations. It's greatest innovation was marketing itself to the mainstream.
And it was balanced, so it doesn’t matter if it’s fifty terrawatts or fifty million. What matters is:

> The growth in Earth's energy imbalance from satellite and in situ measurements (2005-2019). A rate of +1.0 W/m2 summed over the planet's surface equates to a continuous heat uptake of about 500 terawatts (~0.3% of the incident solar radiation).[2][35]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_energy_budget

I found a chart that says we’re producing about 25,000 TWh per year of power now, or 2.9 TW continuous to put it in the same units. But what is the efficiency of those plants? 35%? That’s 8.3 TW of heat, which is already 1.6% of our budget surplus. If we dogleg our energy production while thinking it virtue signaling, that quickly becomes 5% of a number that is slowly cooking us. That brings doomsday in by years.

We can’t endlessly dump heat into the atmosphere any more than we can continuously dump mercury into the oceans.
Unless I’m mistaken I believe Apple at least used to market it as UNIX?
This is such an underrated point. I hate it when an app changes on me mid-project without my permission. With native apps I can turn off auto-update and not have to worry about it. Yes, that might put me at slightly more security risk, but I don’t think there are many state actors trying to get me. At this point, the positives of not updating on someone else’s schedule far outweigh the risks for me.
I have noticed that people who get excited about Meyers-Briggs are very… employable? They usually are the same ones who chug whatever kool aid is being served.
Not surprising to me at all. Cameras fully behind a screen without a hole punch seems pretty unlikely, and this allows Apple to add cutouts for other sensors in the future and hide them nicely.

Perhaps there are ideas for AR-related aspects of this eventually?
This is disgusting.

Also how does this even scale? For any dating site, someone is scrolling through hundreds of potential candidates on any given day. How small can they cut the t-shirt?

Not to mention a stale shirt is going to smell completely different after a certain amount of time particularly if it's been stored poorly.
I've seen a lot of studies that model human life with a dollar amount. It's depressingly low. I think I was reading a traffic study (can't find it) that modeled pedestrian deaths at $1M, in a city where many people walking around have a higher net worth than that (because of housing prices).
Most people would much rather spend $20-$50 on decent external batteries and keep their all-in-one device than spend hundreds of dollars + monthly fees for dedicated satellite communicators or rescue beacons.
7-10 days is the ideal time, which is what the original Pebble Steel was capable of. I used to charge it once a week on Monday in the office and it would easily last till the next Monday. Sadly mine died from the screen glitch issue, and right around the time that Pebble collapsed. I think the Time 2 Steel would have been an incredible watch.

I've been using a Skagen Jorn Hybrid smartwatch for the last few years. No digital display, but the time/date are set via bluetooth, and it has phone call notification, which is mostly what I want. I don't need to read emails or SMSs on my wrist. 6 months of battery life from a replaceable coin cell.

Honestly though, this is the first apple watch to appeal to me. Proper waterproofing, ruggedness, long enough battery life to go away for a weekend without a charger, always on screen. It's almost getting back to where Pebble was - they just need to stretch that battery a bit more with an ultra-low power mode. The cost is fairly high considering the functions I want though, so I'll need to use it in person before I put any money down. I do occasionally scuba dive too, so the dive functionality is actually fairly appealing as I don't own a dive computer any more.

It's different layers. You're in control of the loops, so no. (guess what though - recursion level is limited) You're not in control of the int() implementation, so that falls on python.

It's similar to what we've done with hash collisions - we can't count on everyone fixing that in every place released so far, so all languages added hash randomisation at startup. That one fortunately had no side effects like this one does.

> They set the limit at (on my computer) 0.1ms.

That seems reasonable to me. I'm not sure if you're saying it's too low or too high?

> the problem is that web-servers aren't validating their inputs.

And they won't. This would be repeated many times in various form affecting Web servers, job queues, parsers, etc. and keep coming back for decades. We already have that with Java XML entities. They weren't fixed at the source and we get a new implementation with that bug ever day.
Some thoughts:

- If you have your own system, with very tightly controlled specifications, you can make any change you want, and its impact will be easy to manage. When you change the specifications of random people's systems, random things happen. Doesn't matter what the change is. A file showing up where it didn't exist before, or being a symbolic link rather than a regular file, or duplicate files, will cause logic bugs.

- There isn't a single mention of any downside to this fundamental shift in the expectations of the filesystem of major distributions. Yet you can be guaranteed that this will break compatibility with some applications/systems. They still they make no attempt whatsoever to estimate this.

- It can't be stated enough that this is a Fedora / RedHat / Lennart Poettering thing. Quite frankly, anything they suggest should ring giant alarm bells. This group is singly responsible for every incompatible, over-designed, pain-in-the-ass change to Linux distributions in the past 10+ years. If it causes problems, and it didn't come from a hardware vendor, it came from these people.

- Who in the actual fuck cares about filesystem-level porting from Solaris?! If you're already dealing with all the rest of the portability issues, file paths are literally the very last and least-difficult consideration. "Oh no! In what directory will I find 'pkill' ?! It's so difficult!" Only a company obsessed with converting whales to their platform and want one more bullet point to add to their sales deck cares. I don't actually care if this goes through, but just the fact that RedHat is still shilling their unnecessary changes as if anyone else other than them wants it makes my skin scrawl.

I had an IRS agent come to my home. He knocked on my door and was quite polite. I didn't invite him in, but made an appointment to go to his office a week or so later.

The IRS claimed I owed a six figure sum (which was ridiculous, but whatever), and within a month or so, I filed the five years worth of tax returns which I'd ignored.

Guess what I got? A prison sentence? Nope. A big fine? Nope. A small fine? Nope. A refund.

MV3 has zero privacy benefits as it doesn't stop the same extensions from snooping but it does force substantial limitations like not having a separate list separated from the extension itself and an artificial limitation on the size of its blocklist. It is not expected that mv3 immediately destroys all ad blocking but if you look at the fact that google already makes such impossible on mobile you can surmise that it is a likely step towards eliminating all adblocking in the future. Especially since they have so obviously lied to everyone about the motivation for the change.

The end game is adblocking that blocks "unacceptable" ads in the name of protecting you from content that is offensive, adult, malware, or experience destroyingly bad while allowing in offensive google ads. In the name of not getting sued select partners will be allowed to prove they apply the same standards and will be allowed to access your eyeballs.
