The last reactors France has built were also the first of their kind built in the country. The reactors built during the Messmer plan were mostly of 4 distinct types built repeatedly. The main to away from analysis of nuclear plant cost history is that plants become cheaper when the knowledge from previous builds is taken to subsequent builds. Problems that are encountered in earlier builds are avoided, lowering cost.

Plants built during the nuclear boom in the 1960s and early 70s often had inflation -adjusted costs of 1-2 billion USD per GW of capacity. And that's with no intermittency and a capacity factor of over 90%.
Minecraft RTX is awesome.

Elden Ring for me. It's my first From Soft game and I love it. It feels like all the best of BotW and Skyrim plus challenging gameplay (with an admittedly steep learning curve that doesn't need to be that way).
I don’t understand this perspective at all. Being alone is fantastic. I’m going to hazard a guess that you’ve never been in a relationship and so are effectively forced to spend time alone which at this point is associated with painful feelings for you.
Copied from the other thread as this seems like it is more active, This ruling seems like continuation of the persecution complex of the right. I would like to point out that some of the most heavy handed moderation and censorship occurs on r/conservative, Gab, truth social, or parler, where typically dissenting results in an instant ban. I suppose that moderation is now illegal then?
One of the big things people seem to love about HN is how heavy the moderation is. Now, open season to flood it with low quality memes?

ECB chooses AMZN and 4 other firms to prototype digital euro app
>Something like an RPi 4 but with more disk I/O and RAM.

Have you seen the RISC-V based VisionFive2?

Uses 4x SiFive U74 cores, so it is actually between rpi3b and 4 in CPU performance, but using way less power (especially idle).

The SoC has an industrial operating range: It can go up to 125C, it doesn't use or need a heatsink; at full load in human room temperatures it won't even reach 70C.

GPU performance is supposedly 4x that of RPi4. As for I/O, it has 2x GbE and a M.2 slot, besides USB3 and a RPi-like GPIO header.

4GB and 8GB versions are available, but 8GB won't ship until February. Both versions are <$100.

Perhaps, but most of us use computers for lots of other things, e.g., doomscrolling facebook. It seems just as plausible that putting fingers on the keyboard would prime us for a de-focused, short attention span mode.
They'll wring themselves in knots to allow it as freedom of religion or some shit.
Yes, also a lighttpd fan here. It's not as refined a reverse proxy, but for the halfway trivial use case it's doing fine, and as a web server it's light (duh) and fast. Much more readable configuration than nginx or apache.
I really had an amazing time recently playing this game called Inside (by playdead).

It's such a simple 2d scroller game but somehow I really enjoyed the whole gameplay and the story.

Great article. Was reading through thinking "okay so why aren't super apps popular in the west?" and lo and behold, they tackle that question brilliantly.
I got burned by this. Feedburner has been dormant for years but they recently picked up development and have pushed a redesign of the admin and are trying to modernize. This is not the first time a bug cropped but it's by far the worst. My estimation is that this was a careless but honest mistake. Still it got me out of bed to fix it.

Possibly there would be some confusion here, because my example had the name of 5 islands and three countries!
This is fusion. Different working principle, different composition - I would expect orders of magnitude less radioactive working materials.
This is not the end of the story. We are bound to see this and related questions end up at the supreme court in the next few years.
"super app": a browser within an "app" that knows who you are and knows how to move your money around.
Someone once told me that as recently as the late 2010s AOL was making millions of revenue off of old dialup accounts from the 90s that people just never cancelled and the cards just kept running. That's what they're probably shooting for here.
It's truly baffling to me how the people that lambasted the idea of corporate personhood after Citizens United seem to now be obsessed with defending the so-called constitutional rights of said entities, of all things, to censor speech. When it comes to matters of all things censorship and restricting speech, I've never seen a steonger embrace of discrimination via privatization
Our family uses Grab app a lot and yes the dashboard is a mess. At one point Grab has games in it too.
> A nuclear power plan doesn’t “use” water.

Some nuclear power plants have cooling towers that evaporate large quantities of water.
I don't visit a single website that tries to serve me political content dynamically - no Facebook, no Twitter. Except YouTube, but I don't watch anything political there, and the algorithm seems to know it. I don't read the "MSM" news outlets, as they're called. But I observe the same trend the parent describes - in forums, in apparently objective news stories, in the previous US president, and in real life. I'm not saying this as a political cudgel. This personality "flaw" is common across the world and is just one of many on all sides, and it's not a surprise that people with any given personality commonality will bias to one side in any given two-party system, and in the US, this one appears to bias toward the Republican party. It's hard to talk about objectively and not invoke anger, which is reasonable. It is worrying, but there's rarely a time in polite conversation when it is relevant enough to bother pointing out. Content moderation is one of those times, I think. There's plenty of unfair moderation out there, but a lot of what people call a bias against the right in the US seems to usually just be a bias in the tendency of what they say to break seemingly reasonable content/behavior rules.
If a population votes for the least worst government that doesn’t give that government permission to turn to autocracy slightly slower than the other option.
You mean I can’t delete spam comments from my blog?

What the hell?
Now is your opportunity to change that and educate me

What do you think is their motive? is it because interesting features such as the always-on module? doesn't that improve power efficiency of the device?

Do you think they are scared about the future of ARM? its stagnation, in case of a potential purchase by Microsoft or worse, Qualcomm (king of inefficiency)?

Or because it offers flexibility and modularity that can't be found on ARM?
Also Japan.

But No, I mean the first widely used app that does all kinds of different things.

Not literally a predecessor.
Oh, hi Steve!
I think people really underestimate throughput of a simple file server serving static files.

When serving static files, even something like old school apache can serve a couple thousand requests/second on relatively anemic hardware. That's billions of requests/year. The average podcast doesn't really need this.

Even at google's scale, if all their content was static, they wouldn't need that many servers. The hard parts of scale is keeping everything in sync in a distributed system designed to make sure your content is fast everywhere and managing the sheer amount of compute for the dynamic side of things.
There are only so many things a single person can focus on (hint: this is why companies get big). A solo entrepreneur or a small company needs to focus on a small set of things. That may involve only releasing your product in English or only worrying about US regulations by not launching outside the US. It depends on what you're doing.
I 'm sorry what? Changing the marginal pricing which will do a lot to make prices more reasonable is doable today, spain and portugal already did it. Germany can use lignite this winter, and other countries too, under specific conditions, and even changing heating from gas to oil is doable, even now. Can take advantage of remote working to reduce consumption in many places.

I mean the purpose of leadership is to find and show a direction when people disagree. But nobody is even proposing changes. And it's not like the EU needs to change its long-term policies, it can still support renewables (which will happen anyway now because it s cheaper), but in the face of war it should have already changed regulations temporarily and dust off some of those lignite plants. It is instead counterproductive to seek deals with awful countries like saudi or az or venezuela. It's been seven months since the war started, we can't pretend there is no time to react anymore
Telephone companies become common carriers when they offer their service indiscriminately to everyone. If a company is reserving its right to deny service based on its rules of conduct then it is by definition not a common carrier. You can’t just force common carrier status on a company when the facts don’t support that status.
It's not that he tried to predict, it's that he tried to cause a panic selloff to buy stocks for cheaper. I imagine his CNBC interview had some effect it was unhinged and went semi viral.
The game I play the most is Apex Legends. It's a Hero-based shooter, but so much polished in terms of mechanics. Everything feels so satisfying, and the skill scale is pretty broad.

I also play Dirt Rally 2, but not so much as I hit a bottleneck. I play with a controller and not a proper sim setup (my current excuse).
That's probably how it should be. Every regulation has a cost. If you want to manage that cost efficiently, you should look at the set of recommendations as a portfolio, compare across multiple accidents, and implement the most cost-effective recommendations that will prevent the most accidents.
Certainly leadership can be taught. The military has made leaders “forever”. There are personality or psychologically useful aspects that can make the process easier, but combining those willing to teach with those willing to learn is successful.

How many (modern) companies train for anything to create a learning culture?
I have no advice, but I want to wish good luck with the change if you decide to make it [1].

I'm not sure if this is so unpopular here. Hey! I work in a free public university, that is probably the most different place than a startup (at least form size and the income sources point of view).

Just in case it's useful, this is an old post by patio11 when he transitioned from working in consulting+startup to working in Stripe "I’m Joining Stripe to Work on Atlas" https://www.kalzumeus.com/2016/09/09/im-joining-stripe-to-wo... (HN discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12464647 850 points | on Sept 9, 2016 | 330 comments)

I've built startups both in the US and in an "emerging market", so I'll offer some of my own answers here.

1. Consumers are less tech-savvy, so having a single app as a starting point makes everything far easier than having to install many apps.

2. Brand is much more valuable. In emerging markets, with (overall) less regulation (and self-regulation) of markets, trust and brand carries a LOT of weight. If I trust company X with my payments, I'm also more likely to trust them with my transportation, my food delivery, etc (than having to verify/trust a new party). Having a trusted brand makes it very easy to expand into new verticals.

3. Regulatory clout. Once you have the scale (or political connections) to navigate regulation in one vertical, it's much easier to apply that to new verticals. You might "know the right people", know how to navigate the bureaucracy better... or in some cases, it's just easier for the government to trust you with a license than someone who's unknown to them.

4. Talent is more sparse, so clustering it in one place tends to make things more efficient.

5. Funding might be hard to come by, but existing companies either already have the cash or have connections to investors.

Overall, these things in combination just make it a lot easier for an existing company to launch a new vertical than for an upstart to do so. With time and as markets evolve, you'd probably expect more specialization to occur, but by then the super apps may already be entrenched enough to defend themselves.

For similar reasons, family-owned conglomerates tend to be very successful in emerging markets and span across a variety of unrelated industries. You just bought a place in a housing development built by a company owned by wealthy family X, then you go to the supermarket to buy some milk but you're not sure which brand to trust... Then you see the carton manufactured by another company from family X.
The other problem with super apps, at least where I am now, is a quarter of the functions don’t work, or work but break the viewport, or work but put the app into an unusable state until you hard reload it.

The more functions there are, the more testing that needs to happen and doesn’t… “in emerging markets”.
This is true, compressor-based systems don't just magically move heat energy. But at least the hot/cold sides can be isolated much better than a Peltier.
Grab also has / had a built-in messaging functionality. The UI is a sad mess.
Hey folks. I do devrel here at Render and it's nice to see this floating by on Hacker News--our new monorepo support does a lot to improve the ergonomics of running multiple services out of a single repo.

One note: in Render parlance, "services" includes static websites, so even for systems that wouldn't always be considered a monorepo in other contexts, this is useful to launch a static website alongside your code and, in so doing, more clearly communicate what you're doing to the next person to touch it. (Including six-months-from-now you.)
I agree with this theory somewhat. I also think the browser had the runway to become the ultimate open mobile super app, but dropped the ball. For reasons we may never figure out, the browser never evolved beyond its initial incarnation. A mobile browser today is mostly just tabs that view shrunk down web pages. I am still waiting for a true mobile first web experience. This might even require a new kind of web page format.
Stuff like this is how I created a very quick-and-dirty SaltStack module for AD Federation Services:

https://github.com/irtnog/salt-states/blob/production/_modul...

The SaltStack module starts out empty except for a function that runs at module load time. The initialization function queries PowerShell for all AD FS-related cmdlets and creates Python wrapper functions for them. It even copies the cmdlet's help to the function's docstring.
I believe that is a divergence from free speech when it delves into malicious intent or intent to do harm or intent to defraud. If I swat your home and someone is harmed or property is damaged as a result, I should most certainly be held culpable for any and all damages.
This is exactly what the DBS app is like as well.
There's also an iOS app and a Linux version (currently in alpha).

We subconciously make associations, and this works on everyone.

In magazines, advertisers might want to know what article is facing their ad. Or which show their commercial would be on.

And advertisers are very cautious of being associated with things they do not like.

And there has always been content that most advertisers have not wanted to go near. Porn, being the easiest example.

This is not pop psychology it's real stuff.

Advertisers were making such 'demands' since the dawn of advertising nothing is new here.

I think the more germane question is whether or not Rust is in any sense modern on hardware architectures that have changed their 5 year outlook twice in the past three? 2nm with tiles and backplane power is already a radically different landscape than AMD’s current leading edge big-L3, high-core arch.

The fucking arrogance. It is not the world’s job to accommodate Rust. It’s C’s job to work out whether Rust works out or not.
Hence why I'm asking about embryos.

What, scientifically, differentiates a human embryo from a mouse embryo, beside what it may eventually become? Why find the experimentation of one appalling, but not the other, when neither is allowed to grow?

(I am not arguing one way or the other, merely that it is illogical and unscientific to differentiate.)
One person’s ham is another’s spam.

Common carriers have a government sponsored monopoly. Does Facebook?

That’s happening because your BMC is asserting PROCHOT which sends the CPU to its lowest possible clock speed.
Intent to overthrow a free and fair election? Seditious conspiracy?
"the first amendment doesn't say you can do this, so you can't" is such a deliberate misread of what the Constitution provides that I'm shocked this court could issue the ruling with a straight face. 1A is not prescriptive (it does not say, here are the things you are allowed to do and therefore if it's not on this list you can't do it), it's restrictive (here are the rights government can't take away).

Emphasis on government in that last part. In some twisted way, the court has ignored this, and said "it's ok for the government to force a private entity to express a certain speech." Which is in direct conflict with the supposed protection granted by 1A against the government restricting your ability to choose what to express on your website!
But super app is more problematic than browser: They are closed gardens, you don't have any alternative.
Bad advice.
Swaddling might stop your baby crying but it leads to a bunch of unwanted side effects:

- increased risk of sudden infant death

- delayed development of motor skills

- 4x increased risk of respiratory infections

- increased risk of dysplasia

When babies are swaddled they quickly notice that no amount of squealing or crying changes their situation.

Our four month old moves a lot when she gets tired. I carry her around and let her shift and stir in my arms until she calms down. I won't block any of her movements. I won't hold her tight, but allow her to move freely in any direction she wants. From the back, to the side, to the belly and back. She looks around the room until she gets tired. Moving around helps, because changing visual focus tires babies and makes them fall asleep faster.

It's sometimes inconvenient to carry her around for an hour or so, but eventually she falls asleep. I take these moments as an opportunity to bond with her.
Possibly the true rate of inflation is under-reported
Not an abortion debate -- a human exceptionalism debate.

That is -- what makes a human embryo special compared to a mouse embryo? (Beside what it eventually grows into -- since that is not allowed to happen in these experiments.)
It's a continuum, not a binary distinction. People tend to say, "this is government" or "this is not government". I disagree with that model, but it's a defensible position. What's not defensible is saying "this is not government therefore the first amendment doesn't apply" to a corporation that was secretly deputized by a government agency.

To answer your question, here's an example continuum from "more government" to "less government":

1. Elected officials

2. Federal employees / appointees

3. The Federal Reserve (private but heavily controlled)

4. Facebook (private but deputized)

5. Your local bank (whose existence is a government granted monopoly)

6. Utilities (some regional monopolies / limited competition)

7. General Motors / General Electric (heavily subsidized via negative taxes / bailouts)

8. General Mills (regulated but not necessarily beholden)

9. 3M (held to general standards like OSHA)

10. You (for definitions of you that do not fit into an example above)

People act like the line is somewhere between #2 and #3, but the reality is likely past #7.
I pay for youtube premium to not see ads and I love this channel. Now if I keep paying none of that money will go to this channel.

But advertisers have a say to where their money goes.
Ran into this face-first, just yesterday. I'm converting a rather old, rather big API (~400 endpoints) from Python 2.7 into 3, and apparently in Python 2, _hasattr(something, someattribute)_ just returns False if attribute access throws an exception! Specifically, if you have

class A():
@property
def a(self):
raise Exception('go away')

a = A()

then hasattr(a, 'a') will return False in Python 2.7 (and throw as expected in Python3)

A true WTF moment, the tests and the API have been slightly broken for years, without anyone noticing.
Sure. If it can be proven that one has intent to commit a crime then law enforcement should step in to handle the situation. This is probably not appropriate for the platform to manage as they are not the executive branch.

The platform should make a best-effort to provide enough information for law enforcement to take over and use verbiage that is compatible with the legal system.

Don't you know that sh*tting on everyone else and saying that how you could do it with only 5 people are the traditions of HN...
Yes, I think it was clear I wasn't implying that it was, given I went onto address the other factors right afterwards. The ceteris paribus was just an analytical device to control for one factor - initial sale price - and establish what its effect is on WotC's profitability.
This web page is unreadable. I had to scroll down past 3 advertisements, and then I got a modal popup blocking the whole page, asking if I was "Enjoying this post?" before I got to read barely anything.

The answer is no. I closed the tab.

Maybe it was supposed to be a demonstration of being your own worst boss? I guess I'll never know.
Ask HN: Is the CCC in Hamburg going to happen this year?
Officially they (the Chaos Computer Club) announced that it will happen for the first time post-covid, but there are worryingly few details being released.
It's the chocolate ice cream vs vanilla ice cream argument. There isn't an accounting for taste. If static typing if your thing it's never going to taste the right way to you.

I'm just the opposite, I greatly appreciate dynamic languages and if Elixir had been static I wouldn't be using it. That's probably from my Ruby experiences. My own stylistic tastes change from year to year but that's where my current taste is set. I keep seeing dynamic languages add type hints or bolt on static checkers. I personally just don't get it. I'd much rather just use Rust, Crystal, Golang, Java or Haskell if that's what I wanted.
Highly recommend reading The Dream Machine by M. Mitchell Waldrop for a really great peak into Licklider and the revolution he brought about
If you want to claim that taking a reference from a skilled professional you worked with in the past is the same as favoring as a personal friend or family member for a position, then you can call it nepotism.
