> which, if I recall correctly, some rivers in France where recently too warm / insufficient flow to meet nuclear cooling demands

There was no problem with nuclear cooling demands, the problem was if the nuclear plants put more heat into the rivers, it would be bad for the wildlife living there.
Japan has introduced a citizen's unique identification number, which the government bureaucrats are trying to sell to populous euphemistically as "My Number".

So the employment, pensions, health insurance, banking, assets, tax, driver licenses, car registrations, residence records, phone registration, etc., will in future ultimately be linked to that id number.

Some bureaucrats in the planning department have sweet dreams.
Weirdly enough, (poorer) people don't seem to be very good at picking names that signal success. So that proxy is pretty good.

If you are poor and want to give your child a name to signal success, you'd need to look at the names rich people are giving their kids right now. In practice at most we are seeing poor people imitating the past naming practices of rich people. (Of course, that's just a generalisation. Individual people make their individual choices.)

Will Elon Musk's Warning About the Future Hold True for Medicine?
The purpose of the article was to detail the ways that the true visceral horror of world war two was sanitized or censored for public consumption. The contributions of individual nations in the Allied victory was immaterial for the purpose of that article. The title, "The Real War" is drawing a contrast with an imagined "fake" war, where men die with dignity, in important, courageous and heroic circumstances, for high minded ideals, without terrifying disfigurements and mutilations. The title is not saying "the real war was fought and won mostly by Americans for democracy", it's saying "the real war had people piss their pants in fear and die before seeing any combat in a B-29 that was unfit to fly". I do not believe that you saw the title and did not understand this distinction.
> They also bombed the West Coast.

Two bombs, and it was basically a non-event. The intent was to start massive forest fires, but they failed.

They also shelled the West coast, and all they did was damage a baseball backstop at Fort Stevens and tear up the beach a bit.
Edit: I've taken a closer look at your recent comments in other threads and it turns out you've been breaking the site guidelines so frequently and so aggressively that I've banned your account.

Original post:

Would you please stop breaking the site guidelines? You've been posting tons of unsubstantive and flamebait comments and even (as here) crossing into personal attack. Besides being the sort of thing we ban accounts for, this has the disadvantage of discrediting your own view, which is a bad thing if you happen to be right.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it. We've had to ask you about well over a dozen times in the past, which is not cool.

Edit: you've posted over 80 comments in this thread alone- most of them flamewar comments. That's extreme. Please don't do anything like that on HN again, regardless of how wrong someone else is or you feel they are.

Edit 2: you've been breaking the site guidelines badly in other threads recently too. As I said, we've warned you many times. If you keep it up we're going to have to ban you, so please fix this. It's seriously not ok.

It's acceptable as an efficiency for backing up renewables. The cheaper the input energy is, the less important efficiency is vs. the capital cost of the storage system.
I don’t think anyone is saying that it’s less safe, it’s just that our standards (and fear) have increased. 1960s vehicles didn’t have airbags, now we don’t buy cars without them.
Show HN: GPG-fingerprint-filter-GPU – Collide GPG key fingerprints, CUDA powered
This is a tool to collide OpenPGP / GnuPG key fingerprints that follow specific pattern (e.g. ending with 8 identical digits). CUDA is required to accelerate the computation. Satisfy your vanity by getting a special key :)

Initially I wrote this to learn CUDA programming, and partly to show people how easy it is to collide a short key ID - a 8-digit key fingerprint can be collided in a few seconds with my GTX 1650.

Recently I found some similar tools on GitHub (keyword: vanity key) but it seems that only mine takes advantage of CUDA / GPU. My friends has used it to generate an ed25519 key that has a fingerprint ending with 16 identical digits.

Disclaimer: I'm not sure if fixed fingerprints result in any security implication.

Therapy or coaching are presented as the two choices.
But are these appropriate and is there another way?

1. Therapy: Tissues, tears, talking and thorazine.

2. Coaching: Most often asking questions to "lead you to the answer", though in some cases it has slowly evolved to providing some frameworks/models but still almost never resolving to ROI, payout models or physics.

If your computer crashed due to a corrupted file or OS issue would you call a shaman, stoic or therapist to talk about how to reframe the pain or anger of lost time or a coaching to ask questions of how you feel about it, and what resources do you have to fix it or have it fixed?

What about office politics? A toxic client, coworker or executive? A narcissist at home or in the family. And so on.

I find these approaches brittle, inefficient,incomplete, and often non-repeatable aka laden with heavy technical debt.

The paradigm shift is to understand that all of these issues relate to applied psychology bounded by economics (and ultimately by physics), and that psycheis the superpower with repeatable patterns that are computationally deterministic.And that they form a complex system comprised of modules, functions, algorithms, elements and primitives.

Then it is simply a matter of determining your goal/s or objectives, how you will move towards them or resolve them,
such as pain killer, problem slayer, directed problem solving, etc. and while learning simple but very powerful psyche models & psyche functions/forensics that give repeatable results in anticipating, avoiding and/or resolving issues, and moving towards your goals.

Even if you are autistic af, it doesn't matter if you can read an error code or exit code.

The key is this is applicable across all industries, functional areas, and tasks, such hire, fire, promote, love, hate, divorce, stop divorce, sell, buy, negotiate or sue.

It's a leap of faith until the first time it is used and the effortless results come in. And then seen as transparent and repeatable.

Paradoxically, traveling Africa can be very expensive, because many parts are so poor and unvisited that there is no demand (and hence no supply) for reasonable transport, hotels, etc. The locals just don't travel long distance, and if they do, it's squashed into a clapped-out truck going to the market with a flock of goats, and it's two weeks until the next one.

The cheapest places to travel are middle-income places like Thailand and Vietnam, where there is plenty of local demand but wages have not risen to Western levels yet.

What's remarkable is that I can't imagine anything will happen to the activists behind the cancellation. They will lose no credibility. Have no drop in reputation. No public ridicule. They'll simply move on to the next target in the hopes that they will bend the knee with less resistance than Meg.

Doing these cancellations is effectively risk-free, and only incurs the opportunity cost of not deploying time onto a higher ROI target.

No idea what can be done about that in the current cultural climate.

However the price of Twitter is up solely based on Musk changing his mind again saying that he now plans to complete the deal.

I don't think he does. Every market swing is known in advance by Musk. He must be aware that his statements have great power in terms of market price. If the previous CEO of Nikola is charged with fraud due to lying to investors, then it only makes sense and perfect completion to charge the CEO of Tesla as well.
It's a negative because it forces the plant to be operated in base load mode. The grid operator would prefer something that could be economically operated in a more flexible way.

As an example: the combination of wind/solar/storage that could be used to provide the equivalent of a nuclear power plant's output could ALSO be used to provide some flexibility, by altering when the storage is charged and discharged. This flexibility would allow it to generate more value for the same number of kWh provided to the grid.
For torrents and streams in general, Yandex works really well. Google censors everything about this subjects, it's one of the easiest way to open the eyes of your friends that still believe in impartial search engines.

This is all reminiscent of the 80s and 90s Christian right groups picketing outside of Rock and Roll concerts demanding that Marilyn Manson be forbidden from playing in their town because of his corrupting influence on the youth, that his music was going to lead to real physical harm. Same with dungeons and dragons before that. Had any of them ever listened to that music? Ever played a D&D session? Nope.

It's interesting how easy it was to ignore and ridicule those movements at the time, we'd go "ah, those silly fundies", how quaint. Remember Kevin Smith picketing with them outside of movie theaters at the Dogma premiere? We got a good chuckle out of it.

Yet look at how seriously the same people are taking the current flavor of moral panic.

it's not "solely" based on that. icahn's rationale merger arbing the stock was he valued it in the 30s anyway so not a bad buy. but... yeah word of whether a deal that pays a substantial premium will go through or not can move the stock, duh. this is true of most other pending mergers elon's just more volatile so there's a lot more risk than in a typical go private.

i do not doubt the SEC is looking at him hella hard rn, he's probably not stupid enough to try to trade like that.
I have some thoughts about this, but I'm afraid the nuance won't translate well.

If a person's situation is causing harm or trauma, fix that first.

I understand the brain as a set of modules with soft wiring when you are born. There are tendencies, but no well worn pathways. In people with profound mental health issues, those modules and wires are fundamentally damaged in some way.

For other people, the pathways they build between modules may be damaged by trauma. Some modules may be miscalibrated.

In either case, medication may help a person feel and perform better.

In either case, therapy may help a person to understand themselves and to modify cognitive behaviors. To break loops. To understand sensations and emotions. To connect with other people.

An analogy - if you sprain an ankle, you may take medication for the inflammation, and you may also go to a physical therapist to build back muscle and functionality etc.

Don't take the analogy too far - I'm only saying that layered treatment can be much more effective than a single solution.
> I think they should focus on Peace and do everything in their power to de-escalate what's already turning into a shit show

Why would they? I can only speak to America directly as a Native citizen but I know that we would absolutely fight till we were broken as a people if we got invaded. We might not fight to the death but we’d get close. And from looking through history that seems like a fairly common human reaction.

So why do you think they would deescalate for a “peace” that benefits the people that invaded them?

Only if inflexible and flexible are the same cost.

If an inflexible source is cheaper, then it may better a fit as a high capacity factor supplier to meet constant demand.

We first need to agree on the problems and the solution, using levelised costs for lifetime of plant, and safe disposal, preferably using real examples, but theoretical best case examples are also worth discussing.

Publicity stunts are to be expected to some extent. The problem with what MTG said wasn't the bit about the Spanish soup though. What MTG did was lie to Americans (and especially republicans) about Nancy Pelosi employing a secret police force to spy on congress, staff, and the American people.

I suspect MTG knows full well that what came out of her mouth was a lie, and I suspect that you're right and she intentionally used the "gazpacho police" phrasing to amplify the lie and further its spread, but that doesn't make what she did acceptable for a member of congress in a functioning democracy. Lying to the American people about serious abuses of power is exactly the kind of thing that should end a person's political career. Instead, republicans appear to be rewarding that behavior and I believe this is extremely dangerous.

> Yep, I mean this is always the case for corpus-level algos right?

I am not sure which parts of which calculations lucene (Elastic Search and Solr) does on the fly vs pre-calculates after any change to corpus, because it's more or less transparent. I mean, I guess that's not entirely true -- there are definitely index-rebuilds that happen after updates, and for larger-scale things they can be resource-intensive enough that you have to account for them (for very small-scale things you can more or less ignore them), maybe it's just that Solr/ES have architectures built around accounting for that and giving you tools to deal with it with various approaches.
Sounds like a plus to anyone wanting to go through this process.
Drugs can give you the insight to change your perspective though. From my understanding, depression is a deadly spiral of mental state leading to chemical imbalance which further reinforces the mental state, making it impossible to see outside that worldview. Thus drugs can take you out of that cycle and give a glimpse outside, and then even after the drug wears off the change in perspective is persistent.

How is consciousness possible?

Here's my naive answer with just a bachelors in neuroscience.

There are some "business requirements" as far as I know.

We need:

- space and time

- memory

- inputs

- decision making models

- attention

You need space and time because thinking is a verb. Action is required which needs the passage of time.

You need memory in order to link past events with current ones. I'm not strictly talking about memory from earlier in the year or day, but also working memory from what you perceived a second ago. Continuity seems essential.

Inputs are require because we need a data stream to grapple onto and spark brain activity. The brain can obviously cause its own activity as well.

After that it's just a recursive ETL function via the thalamo-cortical loop [1]. The "self" doesn't necessarily need to live in this loop, but it needs access to the data stream. Inputs trigger neurons/glial that recall past events which all get fed into a bunch of decision making models that spits out new thoughts or decisions which cause us to act. The loop is happening so quickly and chaotically that coupled with randomness, short term and long term memory ... you've essentially got a system to explain creativity and "free will".

Really, consciousness is just an emergent property of a nervous system. It doesn't seem nearly as magical through this lens but that's what makes it so convincing to me.
