The other players then always pick 1 and 2, making the latter the winner, and you always the loser.

But in this case you lose no matter what strategy you use; you only get to decide which of the other players wins.
That's why the article analyses the case where the other players use the same strategy.

> We're just getting out of a world pandemic.

The US couldn't pay its debts before COVID either. The pandemic hasn't changed the US's long term prospects for servicing its debt even slightly. The future was default in 2019 and it remains default now in 2022. The only interesting questions are when and what form the default will take.

I mean, are you trying to be serious here? How do you think those debts will be payed down? Who do you think will be involved? What timeline?

What evidence?

> No, I'm making the agreed-upon payments

Oh ok, I thought you meant you weren't making them. Well, assuming you intend to keep that approach up there is no place for you in the halls of government. You are heading for a future where you might pay your debts in full!

Nerve endings, man. Lots of nerve endings...
Yes, the only case in which there's no winner is if all 3 pick the same number.

Which is why the author skips the case of two players. Because then picking 1 always is a dominating strategy in which neither player wins.

"Compensation for degradation" defines most kinds of labor. To labor means to suffer, and compensation is the other word for salary.

So it's not certain this is the "exact opposite" of labor; maybe it's its ulterior incarnation.

Again, you seem to not take into account the developer/admin time. In your example with oil, if you track your time, it's gonna be certainly more expensive than going to the garage.

> "But in the future, not all reactors might be so large. Many still-speculative small modular reactor designs might deliver just a few hundred megawatts. (In Hainan, China, Linglong One—the world’s first small modular reactor plant—is now under construction.) Depending on the design, these could be cooled with less water or even air, making them far more feasible fits for coal sites."

> "Either option will be an uphill battle. In the United States, any new reactor must gain the blessing of the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), a process that can take up to five years and drive up costs in a sector already facing rising prices.

... correct me if I am wrong but I believe that AlphaFold2 required massive computational resources beyond the scope of what most university groups have access to.

And Blockchain and MapReduce have absolutely 0 to do with enabling science.

Which is a pity because I generally believe your statement the algorithms matter is on the money, it's just that the examples you give merely replace one uninformed hype with another uninformed hype that's even less relevant...
It is one straight benefit: now UE hasn't any other option but to relay on US + allies, to be gas providers.

This was not the case with Nordstream 1 + 2 in operational state.

Again, US + allies as much as the russian folks, aren't playing any games, this is war for resources (the whole bunch of gas under south Ukraine), you have to win, there's no other acceptable outcome.

I think you're wrong. I'm a big advocate of open computing, but I think that endpoint autonomy is in as much danger as it ever was, if not more. You're describing that legal challenges to market-based or grassroots ad skipping etc. have failed, but consider that the legal route is out of fashion. What companies do now is sell a locked device. See windows on ARM, safetynet, [whatever apple is doing]. I love this click-to-root hack, but it's really a "play 2009 games, win 2009 prizes" situation. Good luck trying this on a game console or an Amazon echo.

CPU’s have integrated a lot of specialized silicon as transistor budgets increased. x86 treats integer and floating point arithmetic as separate things because the math coprocessor used to be a separate and optional chip. Now days it’s GPU cores making the migration, but that’s hardly going to be the end of it.

I think a triple tie means no one wins, which would explain why the probability of winning is less than 1/3. (If each of the three players is playing the same Nash equilibrium strategy, they should each win with the same frequency.)

> "Sure, refurbishment is necessary - my country just went through the process after 35 years of operation of the oldest reactors, now it's certified for 50 years more"

Canada? It's not quite adding 50 more years: it adds around a 30-35 year life extension to each refurbished reactor, so the reactors currently being refurbished will be certified through to about 2055. And the refurbs aren't exactly cheap: they replace all the major reactor components, and cost a significant portion of the price of a new build.

Nevertheless, it does seem better to extend the life of existing sites where it's possible to do so. It speaks highly of the CANDU reactor design that this has been possible! Most other country's reactor designs haven't been so successful in this aspect.

> "We pay more for maintenance of the little wind power we have than we pay for nuclear reactor refurbishment"

I doubt this very much.
I have a friend in the church and he’s like “dude why ask so many questions? What am I gonna do, leave the church and become a pariah to my family and friends?”

He knows it’s BS but to him if they’ve got a good thing going, why not stick with it.

I grew up in the church and left because of similar things and honestly he seems happier than I do.

As I get older I think maybe it’s better to be happy than to be right. Most people unconsciously just naturally do this, and those of us with “engineer mindsets” where we can’t abide by obvious falsehoods for the sake of the tribe are the weird ones.

> How do you think those debts will be payed down?

The US debt-to-GDP ratio is a bit over 100%.

With my mortgage, mine's higher than that, and I don't have a central bank under my control to tinker with things. No one questions my ability to pay off my thirty year loans; current interest rates on US debt indicate no one seriously believes your assertion that a US default is at all likely, let alone probable.

(Argentina's bond rate is 75.00%, reflecting their history of default and likelihood it'll continue. The US borrows at 2.90% right now.)

When my mortgage is mostly paid down, I'm likely to refinance and take on additional debt, perhaps for home improvements or a newer house. Just like the US does as it makes its debt payments.

Second the recommendation. As well as the other two in the series.

(Worth knowing that if you see "On The Edge: The Spectacular Rise and Fall of Commodore", that's the previous version which covers the same time period as all three new volumes in about 1/3 the page count. "A Company on the Edge" covers roughly the "8-bit era", though of course with Commodore there was a big overlap)
Hmm, yes, that sounds plausible at least.
I feel like the bearing noise in pre-fluid-dynamic-bearing drives was an essential part of the experience, that this device doesn't recreate yet. A room full of warbly, sometimes harmonizing, gentle whirring of mid-90s Quantum drives had a certain vibe. Of course then, when an individual drive got too loud or too warbly it was a pretty good pre-emptive failure sign.

I like the idea of simplifying the main method, but it's honestly not a huge barrier as a high school teacher. Most IDEs will fill in the declaration of main for you, and I think it's perfectly fine to tell students "we'll worry about that later, write your code in the braces" without diving in to all the details. To me, what would be more helpful is an easier way to read input from stdin during a program. I usually give my intro students a static class that wraps Scanner, but it's a bit of a pain.
Oh goodness.

I usually hit HN in the am as I scan for news feeds and such. Didn’t expect to see my tweet here.

This was written for my followers on Twitter, most of whom are in supercomputing. I understand how it might seem a bit over the top to anyone outside of HPC, but let me explain why I wrote it (not expecting it would have more mainstream views).

People in supercomputing already know what I’m talking about so I didn’t give context.

I’m glad some of the respondents here provided good background on the extended delays and the impact.

The thread was written because a few months ago after a researcher let me know her work would not be completed since it hinged on Aurora’s completion. With Frontier (at Oak Ridge National Lab) oversubscribed, she can’t finish her work and her immigration status is in jeopardy.

I felt badly for her but figured it was a one-off. Then I started to talking to more and more people. I never really connected the employment/post-doc/early career HPC researcher with problems with a machine.

The employment and research and academic ‘economy’ around big systems like this is real. Even though by 2021 everyone figured the system wouldn’t be ready by target, it still created a mess. I talked to more, then more people about what the delay meant for their careers.

They were all terrified to say anything publicly. Argonne’s under strict NDA and so is everyone else. Further, everyone was worried about losing funding or “being problematic”

Since I’m not beholden to NDAs and have the freedom to say tough things about big companies and institutions I did. I did it so the people in the same boat as the people I talked to know that their career-jerking issues have been publicly noted. I considered a more formal article for TNP but it didn’t feel like a fit.

What really pushed me to write the thread was all the hype around Intel Innovation this week. They dropped the ball over and over again in HPC since 2017. They hurt people’s careers with these delays. Yet to see them celebrate shipping of a processor that is so far behind (as were the promised ones before it that were to comprise Aurora) and to talk about zettascale ambitions when they have struggled to get a single machine out four years late. It just needed to be called out.

I wanted people to see also that processor delays affect far more than server roadmaps.

And yes, I understand semiconductor delivery and how difficult and unpredictable it is. It was the lack of transparency and the painfully awkward way NO ONE talked about it. Except most journalists who mentioned it offhand but didn't fully express what was at stake in terms of people costs.

So while I’m kind of horrified the tweet for HPC people took off, the positive side of it is that people might think about it this more deeply when they hear “processor X has been delayed” because for comp sci and application domain scientists, the career disruption can be (and should be communicated as) dramatic.

I have a pretty packed workday but can check in and answer/give more context as I have time/can.

Thanks

Non-technical comment to consider the conseqeunces of FHE. This is not to diminish the amazing work that has gone into FHE, and the theoretical use cases for FHE in a few fields I've worked in are significant. The challenge I found in working with people who want the data is that they really do just want the data.

Examples include government agencies who used made up in-house encryption schemes to get their data sharing plan past their legal privacy and security gates and then there was a secret key a small cadre had who could unscramble it after it was distributed in the sector, researchers rejecting synthesized data for uncontrolled test environments because "it was too hard," when really they just wanted the data sets outside the legal controls on it, rejecting differential privacy queries because they didn't want to come up with or specify their queries first based on metadata and again just wanted the data, rejecting identifying the individuals with access to millions of peoples health information data because as institutions they felt entitled to it, banks and payment firms rejecting zero knowledge proofs of user attributes because it violated KYC, and these are just a few.

There has been a concerted effort to squeeze the data toothpaste out of the tube when it comes to health information and other types, and so I am ambivalent about FHE use cases because its primary use case is side stepping rules that protect the privacy of data subjects.

The question I would have is, if data synthesis, legal risk-based de-identification, differential privacy, and cryptographic tokenization protocols were insufficient, what technical improvement in actual accountability does FHE offer to data subjects, and given the size of the data sets this facilitates, what are the consequences of its failure modes?

Given the entire history of cryptography is defined by one party convincing their targets that a given scheme provides them security, the way that FHE scales to giving data collectors impunity "because it's encrypted!" seems like it is vulnerable to every criticism leveled at blockchains, where just because it's encrypted doesn't mean it isn't laundering.
Ask HN: Tips to maintain culture after going remote?
So my company went fully remote during covid. It's a small company well known in the area for having a good culture in the tech dept. Lot's of board games at lunch, people doing stuff outside work, and long term tenures (10+ years). Now we are remote and we also lost some old timers who got scooped up by crazy startup money. We do quarterly in-person meetings. Also social stuff like lunches, disc golf, bowling, go-karts etc. What else works well to maintain and build up culture for a remote company?
