I say kill the concept of integrated search altogether. Search is a web page and should never be part of a web browser. Ever. It allows web browsers to sell that search bar default setting to the highest bidder. Or if your google, drive traffic to your advertising search engine using technologies that directly benefit its bottom line and nothing else.

Besides, searching sucks. Its all been SEO'd to death meaning finding information posted by real humans who are passionate about a subject are drowned in sea of mediocre (at best) blogspam. Of course this blogspam is funded by google adverts which only perpetuates this feedback loop of madness.
Ok, the "can't store energy" canard.

No, we can, in multiple ways. Batteries of many different flavors, pumped hydro, storing as thermal energy (via resistive heaters or heat pump cycles), hydrogen (electrolyzers have crashed in price) and other e-fuels. Costs of these are declining rapidly as demand picks up and the scent of trillion dollar markets entices a wide range of enterprises and investors. Storage has not been much of a thing before because we were still burning fossil fuels and could just turn those up and down instead. But that doesn't mean storage wouldn't work.

In Denmark now e-fuels will be much cheaper than the fossil fuels (well, except maybe coal) you are now using. You're temporarily stuck in a rough spot right now, but the way out is via renewables + storage, and you'll be saving money doing it.

Yeah I didn't quite get this either, personally I have no problem with the SQLite code of ethics because of its inclusion of "individuals are free to ignore or dispute this". But it does also include such lines as "Put your hope in God." and "Be in dread of hell.", which do make it an explicitly and objectively religious/Christian document, which would put it in a different category to mostly secular contributor covenants or codes of conduct in my opinion

11 billion € for 1GW. Cost for wind energy is around 1.2m€/MW. Which means that the same amount of money could have been used to build over 3500 wind turbines in the 2-3 MW range, producing up to 8.7GW (and probably never less than 1GW).

Nuclear is nice on paper but totally bonkers once you look at the numbers. And they aren't even accounting for all costs, e.g. insurance and long term waste storage are heavily subsidized.
Advantages are the point of being wealthy.
Well, if it's a wartime economy measure why care? As long as the average is good enough and you keep the most important consumers running.

If we're talking peace time, then there's loads of strategies. For Finland, Sweden and Norway there's immense possibility of hydro power to simply switch it to be used in a more dispatchable manner than baselod. For less hydro equipped countries see this research.

> *B. Dealing With Variability and Stability*

> Much of the resistance towards 100% Renewable Energy (RE) systems in the literature seems to come from the a-priori assumption that an energy system based on solar and wind is impossible since these energy sources are variable. Critics of 100% RE systems like to contrast solar and wind with ’firm’ energy sources like nuclear and fossil fuels (often combined with CCS) that bring their own storage. This is the key point made in some already mentioned reactions, such as those by Clack et al. [225], Trainer [226], Heard et al. [227] Jenkins et al. [228], and Caldeira et al. [275], [276].

> However, while it is true that keeping a system with variable sources stable is more complex, a range of strategies can be employed that are often ignored or underutilized in critical studies: oversizing solar and wind capacities; strengthening interconnections [68], [82], [132], [143], [277], [278]; demand response [279], [172], e.g. smart electric vehicles charging using delayed charging or delivering energy back to the electricity grid via vehicle-to-grid [181], [280]–[282]; storage (battery, compressed air, pumped hydro)[40]–[43], [46], [83], [140], [142], such as stationary batteries; sector coupling [16], [39], [90]–[92], [97], [132], [216], e.g. optimizing the interaction between electricity, heat, transport, and industry; power-to-X [39], [106], [134], [176], e.g. producing hydrogen at moments when there is abundant energy; et cetera. Using all these strategies effectively to mitigate variability is where much of the cutting-edge development of 100% RE scenarios takes place.

> With every iteration in the research and with every technological breakthrough in these areas, 100% RE systems become increasingly viable. Even former critics must admit that adding e-fuels through PtX makes 100% RE possible at costs similar to fossil fuels. These critics are still questioning whether 100% RE is the cheapest solution but no longer claim it would be unfeasible or prohibitively expensive. Variability, especially short term, has many mitigation options, and energy system studies are increasingly capturing these in their 100% RE scenarios.

Political, no. But personal, sure!

I've found that all of the major new opportunities for my team have come suddenly and involved collaboration with people that I've spent time with even though I wasn't working very actively with them. Suddenly a problem shows up and one of these other people says "hey, I think UncleMeat's team is well suited to help with this" and boom we are off to the races. Those monthly meetings that were half work and half shooting the shit were critical network-building opportunities that eventually paid off.
yeah I'd listen to the IETF here vs the WHATWG. lol what a silly argument to get into.

It's even worse in the concept of `router == firewall`

If you buy one of the popular firewalls, you need a subscription for it to actually work. Once it's expired, you lost your web filtering and IPS and whatever 'modules' you've subscribed to using.

A 3 year subscription is often as much as the hardware.

It's kind of a waste, it'd be nice if there was a OpenWRT style firmware you could load on all the old Fortinet, Watchguard, Sophos, etc firewalls out there.
In all fairness, as longs as patents exist you simply can't "open up" a piece of technology

Hi, yes, I'm doing it on https://tube.jeena.net by using PeerTube. I've been hosting it on a NUC, first in my kitchen in Sweden, then at my parents house in Germany and now I'm in the process to move the NUC to my home office in South Korea. I'm bridging the time by having moved the whole installation to a server hosted by Hetzner, but it's too expensive in my opinion, and the NUC doesn't use so much power and is fast enough. I even made a video about my reasoning: Sustainable Private Cloud Server - Environment and Cost - https://tube.jeena.net/w/tYbrbqBMkexTwXTrjsN14a

With the mention that Hydro is not at all environmental-friendly, quite the contrary. It helps with decreasing the quantity of CO2 we generate, but in many other aspects is pretty bad (and in many cases an existential threat) when it comes to the local environment.

Alpineidyll already commented on QM calculations, but I can attest these machines are useless for molecular dynamics as well. In order to actually run in any even vaguely “efficient” regime (ie be faster than a single GPU on your exaflop machine), you need to scale the problem to the size that you can no longer approach interesting timescales for the dynamics involved. A 10 nanosecond simulation of a 100M particle system is useless. The problem almost immediately becomes latency bound when you use multiple chips. The first generation Anton machine from DE Shaw Research (which they built in 2008!) is still over an order or magnitude faster than any existing machine (in 2022!) that isn’t a newer Anton when it comes to MD.

If they wanted a GPU farm they could probably have built it for 1/10 the cost or less by throwing out the interconnect and infrastructure that makes it a “supercomputer”.
Many years ago I reported a bug with Cisco ios routers where the default admin login worked in the sdm web gui even after the account was deleted.

The general strategy that will get you quite far:

- improve interconnects

- overdimension production

- CHP [0] with biomass fuel

- hydro storage

- increase demand flexibility

- generate carbohydrates for seasonal storage

- lower consumption

Technological improvements and breakthroughs are nice extras.

You seemed to have just made this up as a ridiculous straw man, but it's probably actually true.

They paused their other nuclear plant build because of worries that the nation they were building it with would be able to mess with their electricity supply.

And grid forming inverter based tech is the new best option. Distributed inverters can provide all sorts of grid services cheaper than old centralised tech.
The US, as always, is an outlier on salaries, however the difference between admin and dev comp in the UK does exist. Admin salary ceiling is probably about £60K, after which you are either very senior or bring a good mix of additional skills. For devs it's about £80-90K, after which you start looking into architect positions.

Renewables make grid reliability worse, especially wind, because the grid has to maintain a frequency, which is ultimately done with the inertia of huge rotating chunks of iron.

That's fine, as long as there are huge rotating chunks of iron. Nuclear can rotate the chunks, as can hydro and geothermal. Everything else emits carbon.

Europe is pretty tapped on hydro and geothermal, that leaves nuclear, or some very handwavey ideas of building a bunch of flywheels using resources which could be contributing to primary generation.

I looked into it before and understandably, the badnwidth you can be using up for a relatively small amount of videos is always going to be pretty expensive. It is also not always easy to know in-advance, and do you want to suddenly get a 10x bill or have to cut-off your users when it gets expensive?

How much math have you learned?

When I first saw Euler's Identity I kind of laughed and said WTF? We "discovered" Euler's number while calculating compound interest continously. We knew pi from grade school. Learned about square root of -1 around 9th grade.

But when I learned Euler's Identity I didn't even understand what it was trying to say. Then someone took an hour to derive it through a Taylor series and my mind was blown. I still find it amazing.

Then in quantum physics class we learned about the wave function and Schrödinger equation. Those "imaginary" numbers influence the real world.

I'm not religious but when someone sees some kind of divine beauty in math I kind of feel it too.
OH this 100000%. While the US is at it we should honestly consider quadrupling our military budget. Just the idea of a Raytheon CEO not getting his bonus brings a tear to my eye.
This is how we did it at the FT. We looked at on demand HLS or DASH via our CDN as well but this didn't become a requirement during my time there.
I really like the notion of having the whole repo including issue tracking in a single file that can be easily copied around. But Fossil's stance on history - specifically, the deliberate refusal to implement history-editing functionality like squash and rebase - is a showstopper, and their rationale for it reads very much along the lines of "you're holding it wrong".
Nuclear and renewables are like oil and water: they don't mix well. When renewables are built out they push the price of electricity down too often for nuclear to earn the good average price it needs. When prices spike, dispatchable sources (or dispatchable demand) move in and snipe the peaks, so nuclear can't make up for it then.

These days, it's looking like renewables + storage could supply "synthetic baseload" more cheaply than nuclear in most places (maybe not Finland, yet; that part of the world is one of the worst for renewables), so there's not much place left for nuclear. If your energy system has variable demand it will need storage even with nuclear, which tilts the game toward renewables even further (their need for storage is partially covered by the storage one needs anyway to level the load; said storage can level supply and demand at the same time, to some extent.)

Nuclear also has the problem that it's not going to survive very well as a niche technology, as that would likely not cause enough construction of new power plants to keep the industry from seeing negative learning effects.
I made a service that lets developers take payments in browser extensions.

I'm just getting started on my hardware journey by working through the nand2tetris course. This has its own simplified hardware description language which works in the simulator they provide.

Looking through the linked site, it's nice to see that the verilog snippets are very similar to the simplified HDL in nand2tetris - almost identical in how pins and parts are composed.

I'm looking forward to getting hold of an ice40 board as mentioned (with the SRAM). There's a project out there which implements nand2tetris on ice40, and these seem available at the moment for a reasonable price.

So now with this VGA project, that's two reasons to order that nice ice40 board :-)

Agreed, there should be a 5 year refresher. There are similar refreshers for other life-affecting licenses (medical / first aid licenses for one).
More precisely, it was the coal and nuclear equivalent of the "duck curve". It was costly/inefficient for these techs to be flexible, so they seperated the flexible load out into gas and hydro to work around the limitations of the inflexible tech.

Now its a rallying cry for some reason.
Fantastic games. Also, multiplatform sounds like a nightmare to manage.
No, that's incorrect, because for small measurements the slop as well as the influence of bad geometry is going to be larger. Lack of accuracy is a problem that multiple issues contribute to.

I don't know where you got your numbers from. I doubt it's anything other than you thought the numbers just looked fine and illustrated your point.

Because they don't really complement each other: nuclear + renewable grid has basically the same holes as a pure nuclear or a pure renewable grid, nuclear doesn't like dealing with peaks in demand (you'd need to massively overbuild nuclear to supply the peaks as well), and renewables might deal with peaks in demand but the dips in supply are a problem (for which again, you'd need to massively overbuild). For both you want to pair them with either storage or flexible generation (and the most economical and scalable flexible generation is gas, the only renewable options are hydropower and geothermal, both of which are limited in capacity by geography). So you're going to be over-building capacity and building lots of storage whatever mix of wind/solar/nuclear you build, so why not build the cheapest (and faster) mix which tends to exclude nuclear? (now, you might in principle need less storage and overbuilding with nuclear than with renewables, but the difference has to somehow overcome the 3x-4x price premium on nuclear).
