First thing I do on seeing a new go lib is check the go.mod for dependencies.

~25 direct dependencies is too many

Firstly it's a security problem: not only have to vet this code, but also all the dependencies, and all their dependencies. It's going to be be quicker to just write the bits of this lib that I need (especially if I can copy/paste the tricky bits from here).

Secondly, it shows that the maintainer wasn't being careful about their deps. That when they see a problem, they hunt for a solution that looks like it fits rather than really trying to dig in to the problem and grok it and work out the best solution. I'm all for not re-inventing the wheel, but you have to understand your load, your road surface, your motive force and your steering mechanism before deciding on a wheel design. Adding a cartwheel to a Formula 1 race car is not going to bring the happy faces. Too many dependencies is a sign of lazy thinking

Which is mind bendingly stupid.. why would you switch from nuclear to coal in the middle of an energy crisis. Germany is the epitome of failed, stupid and corrupt energy planning and are now pulling the whole of Europe down with them.
Wow! I am surprised - I thought Xen hypervisor was a household name at least within the software industry. Looks like not! Haha.
You could be right, lets see how things develop. But cornering the leader of a country from the get go can have the effect of rallying people around said leader and galvanising their position. You know, national pride and all. Instead ursula should have shown a bit more diplomacy and tact. The british have been rallied around brexiteers precisely because of a lack of diplomacy and tact on eu’s part. They basically said nein to any attempt of negotiation, voters put up their two fingers because of sovereign pride and all and here we are.
If you're knowledgeable in one field primarily, I think it's likely you have some bias towards that field. If you are doing a lot of research only in e.g. Solar, I think it'd be harder to provide an unbiased comparison between solar and nuclear than someone who studies power generation in general.

EDIT: At a first glance, the linked article seems reasonable if not a bit optimistic for future developments and very positive phrasing for NPP in general.
Yeah, unfortunately uncanny valley is spot on for most generated faces with this version of Stable Diffusion.

I've seen some people tackle the problem by running faces through a secondary AI that makes faces look "better" [1] though in this case "better" just means "pretty" by recent western standards, so that has its own set of shortcomings.

I'd be interested to hear what you think about the inanimate object searches?

Ask HN: How long does it take you to prototype a new tool?
I think I am similar to many engineers in that I have a long list of side projects that I have built and would like to build. I recently noticed that it can take me a while to get going because of my expectation for the length of time to get a new project off the ground -- even if I choose a fairly standard/modern stack.

I'm curious how much time/effort people put into a fun "side project" before it gets to an alpha stage. A night? A weekend? A week?

If your answer is "it depends", imagine an app that does the following:

- Standard sign-up/sign in
- CRUD on creating a list of items
- You receive a single item from each list at a given frequency

Or any other simple app you can name

> And if you're a console player you also get to pay monthly for the privilege of playing online. I miss when game companies didn't host their own games

Just to be clear, you aren't paying for game server hosting, only for the console's lobby/matchmaking services. The game servers are still paid out of pocket by the devs.

This is why many games try to get away with player-hosted servers (which gamers misname P2P), where a player is assigned a host role by the matchmaking service and the rest connect to it for the duration of the match. Which means one other player can see your IP and if the server disconnects the match is interrupted.

This makes it sound as if wealth is being taken from the unfortunate and given to the fortunate. But the unfortunate are going to be at/below the line regardless, even if the fortunate all decide not to profit off the event. On the other hand, if some people get to profit (responsibly, in a way that doesn't make anyone else worse off), that seems like a net gain.

> What we need is an open-source building energy management supervision software with a diverse driver and plugin ecosystem. I want to write it, but I have a family to feed.

I work in the industry too, and would love to see something like this -- not just so homeowners can maintain first-party control over their assets, but also so there can be a "reference design", so to speak, with best practices and peer-reviewed code & data tables, etc. that any manufacturer can use (instead of crappily reinventing the wheel every time).

Have you ever spoken to your coworkers about this? I tried to bring up open-sourcing some of our stuff at work and got a lukewarm reception... people were cautiously interested but wary of navigating the bureaucracy (especially legal).

But still, it's SUCH an important field -- energy security is national security and climate policy rolled into one -- that I wish there was more of a coordinated effort to make these things better.

NREL used to lead efforts like OpenPV and that was a great start, but then the previous admin shut it down :( It should probably be a citizen-led effort and not subject to political whims...

I read a story about a solar installer that blew my mind. The customer posted a negative Yelp review about the installer. In retaliation, the installer remotely deactivated the customers internet connected solar panels and held them ransom until the negative review was removed.

If the installer can do that, so can the analytics company and probably any competent hacker. I don’t think security is top of mind for this industry.

So, no internet connected solar panels for me.
I really struggle with the value of simple state machine diagrams. For example, I get very little out of the Unix process state machine diagram. I've also seen designs involving just two states. What am I missing?
Yeah, how the headphone output is implemented on laptops and similar devices is not clearly defined.

On some equipment the headphone jack is essentially paralleled with the speaker feed and configured to switch out the speakers when the headphones are plugged in. In this configuration the level for normal headphones use is way too high. If the volume is still set to the level that's normally OK for the speakers when the headphones' plug is inserted then that level is likely to be sufficiently high to damage the headphones (and one's hearing).

The opposite also happens, some weeks ago I got fed up with the really crappy sound of my Samsung TV so I thought I'd plug in some better quality speakers as I've done previously with other TV sets only to find that it was genuine headphone outlet, the volume was so low I could hear almost nothing.

It's a nuisance that manufacturers don't make that distinction clear with better labelling.

Probably the most obvious is your business has a business application that runs on it. Hospitality stuff and financial stuff runs on it. This stuff allowed companies to do offsite failover reliably and with a pool of “certified professionals” before much modern tech took hold.

Nowadays probably applications which really need reliability and uptime would benefit the most. Logistics stuff where you really need a central source of truth. Etc.

Or you’re the kind of programmer who wants a system that treats objects as full first class objects.

You can in theory decommission naval nuclear reactors by letting them sink to the bottom of the ocean in a terrible, sad accident from which fortunately all the sailors were safely rescued. I don't know that anybody has done this; often the sailors all died.

But it seems that even without taking decommissioning into account, naval nuclear reactors are not cost-competitive with other power sources. Looking for "subsidies" when we're talking about a military project doesn't make sense; the project is 100% taxpayer-funded unless some supplier is selling parts to the government at a loss. Far more likely, lamentably, is the opposite, the proverbial thousand-dollar toilet seats.

Maybe it's relevant to the cost question that the Navy can buy diesel engines from half a dozen naval diesel engine vendors but has to commission custom nuclear power plants.
But the tragedy of situation is that it's enough for most Russians to believe it's legit,

Cost is indeed the issue for commercial power generation. So let's look at costs. Especially, let's look at cost trends.

My sources are: Lazard's 2022 levelized cost of energy estimates; NREL's Spring 2022 Solar Industry Update: the Global Wind Energy Council's Global Wind Report 2022 highlights; and especially the 2022 report in Cell (Cell's "Joule" sub-publication) called "Empirically Grounded Energy Forecasts and the Energy Transition".

On the basis of the trends in costs shown there, I conclude that 1) coal, nuclear, and large-scale hydro are obsolete for power generation; 2) combined-cycle gas, peaker gas, and on-shore wind generation are obsolescent. (Biomass thermal, concentrated solar thermal, and geothermal are essentially lab experiments. A few hundred MW or maybe 2 GW total globally each. Oil is of course obsolete too.)

Once current project pipelines are emptied (2035 maybe?), there won't be much of any of these built for commercial power generation, because they won't be able to compete except in obscure niches. Onshore wind comes closest to being competitive, but its costs are not dropping fast enough. The costs of the others are rising.

(According to NREL and the GWEC respectively, cumulative global solar PV installed capacity is 939 GWdc, most of it installed in 2018-2021, and cumulative global wind capacity installed is 837 GW, most installed 2012-2019. Onshore wind, while it has not yet peaked in terms of yearly increment, has peaked as a share of total generation, while PV is bottlenecked by permitting queues alone.)
His point 2 of 3

Increasing automation...the increasingly widespread adoption of enterprise software, data analytics, and machine learnings are increasingly rendering office jobs moot as much of the traditional number crunching, document processing, and repetitive analysis performed by office professionals is now being performed by software.

This is not even wrong, in the W. Pauli sense. Just one of the many reasons is enterprise software works less and less for the enterprise that 'rents' it and more and more for the enterprise that controls it.

Everyone hates enterprise software who is on the receiving end of it.

I don't know about Burry, but Nate Silver has been right more than just once! https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/checking-our-work/ is a statistical analysis of 538's track record in forecasting elections going back to 2008. The analysis shows that 538's predictions are generally pretty well-calibrated, in the sense that e.g. if there were 100 races where 538 predicted "Democrats have a 70% chance of winning this race", then the Democrats did actually win about 70/100 of those races.

I find it funny that people complain that Netflix content is not good but don’t want to pay for their own account so that Netflix has money to increase production quality.
I would suggest that those companies exist everywhere, you just don't see them. There's something like 1 TW of renewable projects that are being considered in US interconnection queues right now. Total US power draw is only 0.5TW. At and average of ~30% capacity factor, that's 60% of total US electricity demand replacement, with today's projects.

Now, only a fraction of these will get connected, because only the marginal best investment dollar gets the invested, but the scale is there.

Really the limit it current solar and wind production capacity, which is ever increasing at absolutely terrific speeds.

This is one of many reasons that I think a focus on nuclear is the wrong place. It's not going to be able to scale to catch up to these other technologies, even if after 60 years of development, nuclear finds a learning curve for the first time ever.
