I don’t think he’s even recognized as being in the top 3. There are so many much better than him, such as Eminem, Tupac, Snoop Dogg.
The driving force that makes robots and accompanying automation a foregone conclusion is the requirement that we increase economic productivity. Granted, they're crude, but reviewing robots based on the quality of their human-ness seems to miss the bigger picture and what will drive their adoption.

No, Fukushima proved them right.

Fukushima ended in no way like Tchernobyl did.

The Soviet power plan released radioactivity in the air, make an entire area inhabitable and killed a few dozen a people.

Fukushima did nothing of this, everything stayed inside the structure, no radioactivity went out.

As Fukushima had no recovery generators available (no fuel in them), it is a great proof that a totally out of control modern power plant is not deadly.
> they tend to be just a slightly different version of a debit card w/o PIN -- the stores now can instantly run them, there's no way to float one.

That's actually the most surprising thing I've heard in this thread. Having that ability would probably go some way toward explaining their longevity. Like I said in another comment, I don't even know if a grocery store / supermarket would accept a cheque here, mostly because they wouldn't have the ability to run them.
How would this translate to salary? Are you saying you'd get a loan on your portion of the equity at full value and the company would only pay you the interest required to cover that loan?
Focusing on the mere existence of technology is basically "let them eat cake".

It's fine to say "the factories need to be built", as long as they can be built at a manageable price. But price is a huge factor that cannot be ignored, and it's high enough in this situation to make the word "trivial" incorrect.
Myself, and I'm sure many others, would love to hear which advice you took from the HN community and how things are going.
"Extreme" seems an overstatement, and I don't think it's necessarily the main motivator for a lot of people that are anti-nuclear. Many don't like it because they believe large-scale power sources supplied and run by (or inevitably being a source of profit for) mega-corporations are a bad idea in general. Others because there are genuine environmental consequences to and risks with uranium mining and storage of radioactive waste that we don't have complete solutions for, even if by almost any measure those consequences are less serious than they are for fossil fuel extraction and consequent GHG emissions. And others because they're skeptical it can scale up quickly and economically enough to reach necessary emissions targets (I have one foot in that camp, at least for my own country).
Ultimately I think increased nuclear power will be accepted as a "necessary evil" or "least worst" solution in most developed countries, though it's hard to see it happening here in Australia, despite the fact we supply much of the world's uranium (*) and arguably have a fair number of appropriate options for waste storage.

* actually we have almost 30% of known viable resources, but only contribute 8% or 9% of the world total supply currently, producing less than a 5th of Kazakhstan, by far the most prolific supplier.
I don't understand this argument, isn't Japan known for its earthquakes?

Chernobyl has often been characterized as the result of a corrupt and incompetent late-stage USSR, whereas post-WWII Japan is seen as a generally well-run country.

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with that, just trying to describe public opinion.
I would imagine with the very high failure rate of startups, loans based on company equity, especially for small, non-public non-liquid companies must have sky-high rates.
That's a good observation!

I get unreasonably irked when some subreddit won't let me post a comment / removes a comment. Like, "who do you think you are to limit my ability to express myself here?!" Deprived of context, my contribution is meaningless -- so, how does that interact with the freedom of speech, really?

Say I'm in a crowded square where people are arguing about squids, and I have a squid-related revelation I'd like to share, but the self-appointed Guardians of the Square have gagged me. Is this an infringement on free speech? I'm free to leave the square and speak -- but what I have to say is relevant within the confines of the square, not elsewhere.
No one who was for blocking nuclear power was doing any long term thinking, I can assure you. That was cold war paranoia thinking that suddenly everyone would be engaging in nuclear warfare. They would have realized we are not ready to transition away from nuclear power because there is no alternative for our power requirements beyond nuclear energy or dirty energy. Long term thinking would realize that the march we are on currently with climate change will also end up looking a lot like a world after nuclear warfare disrupts society.

No, it was short term thinking that has brought on these opinions. Thats who funds these anti nuclear opinions anyway, people who are invested such to benefit in the near term over preventing adoption of nuclear energy, not actual scientists engaging in long term thinking.
Sure. Really I meant "language community package registries," which are necessarily open bazaars from which more selective repositories can be drawn.

With many of these bypasses, the usage of eBPF is incidental. TOCTOU issues, Seccomp's limitations, process hollowing (what the author describes as an execution bypass) etc. are all real problems, but they were real problems before eBPF was involved.

The current state of the art is bpflsm (KRSI). It addresses many of these issues, not by doing anything special* with eBPF, but just by being an LSM: it's mandatory access control, the security hooks are on the path for new system calls and it's hard to get rid of if you're an attacker.

There are still problems, of course: if you never ask the kernel for anything (e.g. call execve), then the eBPF instrumentation never runs, rather obviously. There are other ways to check for process hollowing, though - off the top of my head, I'd look for page protections being set to write+execute. An attacker can saturate whatever event reporting mechanism you have, though that would be reportable via a second channel and the new BPF ring buffers have considerably higher throughput.

I had to check the date the article came out, because it feels like a description of the state of the art three years ago, not today.

Source: I worked on this stuff for 5 years.
Unfortunately, this is not the case. Snap-On, like most other tool manufacturers, and manufacturers of all kinds, has worked on reducing costs considerably over time. Part of that means manufacturing under contract, rather than in-house, as well as using techniques which reduce materials required to meet specifications.

One of the things about mechanics hand tools where this is a challenge is that mechanics regularly use tools for purposes outside the specifications, because you need to get the job done, regardless of what happens to currently be in your toolbox. In the past, because tools were overbuilt, this wasn't an issue. For modern tools, they are much tighter in tolerance to their specifications, both in good and bad ways. A simple way to tell is simply weigh the tools, due to techniques like CAD modeling with FEA, you can reduce the materials needed to achieve the same targeted strength specification. Tool from 1960 and Tool from 2022 with the same SKU likely have the same specifications, but are built in /very/ different ways.
Here in Ecuador it's mainly cash, but it's becoming more common to just do a normal bank transfer from a mobile phone. The banking app of my bank here (Pichincha) has a built-in option to share the payment as a .jpg via Whatsapp (or any messaging app) as a sort of confirmation to the recipient.

In the Netherlands banking apps let you create "Payment Requests", which is basically a URL you can share with someone to have them pay you (you can pre-fill the amount they need to pay). Typically, if you open such an URL on your phone, it will let you jump into your banking app of _your_ bank to make the actual payment (even if the payment request is from a different bank than the on you're using).

Thank you for calling this out! It's great to see more products adopt this stance and this is one of the reasons we chose to not raise funds for Typesense [1].

From an article I wrote recently on this topic [2]:

> Selling Stock vs Selling Search

One key realization we had is that when we bring on investors, we are essentially bringing on a new group of customers - customers for whom the product is our company stock.

The value this group of customers (investors) gets from the product they are buying (stocks) is appreciating stock prices. And the way we can keep this group of customers happy is by regularly raising the next round of funding which is when stock prices appreciate, or having a liquidity event to make a return on investment.

We are concerned that “launching” a new “product line” (selling stocks) and bringing on a whole new group of customers (investors), would cause us to lose our precious bandwidth that could have otherwise been spent on our core search product that our primary group of users and customers expect from us. After all, the “company stock” product line would not exist without the core search product.

> I think next time I play I will refuse to use a "main bus" until much later in the game if at all.

I mostly played through without any internet advice until I shared with a friend who did use internet advice and the main bus was his advice. Thankfully I already had a base so I tried this for a specific process/product (rockets ofc but still). I think a lot of “late game” stuff by experienced players will likely converge towards a bus since you’ll be already learned scale and order by then, but maybe with less precision in layout. The problem is that you can’t un-see it once you start building with it once.

I agree that fuck perfect from the start, build at the right scale at the right time. It’s way more fun. Conversely, if you like multiplayer games, this is a game where it’s really fun to play with people who are new. You can use their naïveté to override your knowledge or build completely different looking based each time. It’s fun to guide them through rediscovery (eg wtf why did all the trains dead lock!)

If the GP has the correct answer, it would be because the cost of producing the current US oil is much higher than the cost of the 1971 oil.

Anyway, the OPEC started to control the oil price in 1971 too, didn't it?
I did just that to my house in France. Everybody here (south east of France) does that. Seen the savings and that it both cools in the summer and warms in the summer, it's a complete no-brainer. In addition to that I switched my open fireplace to an enclosed one: the efficiency when burning wood is greatly increased. And I stockpiled on wood. So should there be electricity shortage preventing me from using HVAC to warm the house, at least nobody is going to prevent me from putting wood in the fireplace.
> the idea that the only correct stance is yours and all moral, rational people will converge on it is ridiculous.

I never said that. Conversations exist to be had, good ideas should be promoted and bad ideas disproven and cast aside. Ideas should be considered and judged on their merits, even ones I don't agree with. There's certainly no requirement for any individual to engage.

Despite calling me out, there's irony inherent here in that you believe your stance is the only one that deserves to even be considered. Censoring those that do not believe as you do is the definition of believing you have the "only correct stance".

People do and should have the option to curtail speech in their spaces as they see fit. I choose to converse on platforms that limit my and other's speech minimally. That's not an endorsement of "nationalist or genocidal movements".

> Moderation of wide-reach public forums with the goal of preventing movements causing mass death and misery...

Claimed goals are always rosy until they aren't. Individuals habituated to not having to determine truth for themselves are ultimately doing themselves a disservice. That said, if people prefer platforms that censor certain content, then those platforms will thrive; that's fine and they have. I don't think though that information freedom is on most people's radars when they choose a social media platform. A lot of this legislation that requires mandated strict moderation will only work to entrench big players that can pay to do so.

I'm not a racist genocidal nationalist and I don't follow nor broadcast their content. I still don't want their existence in the public sphere to limit my expression. They're not that important and we shouldn't make them out to be.

Why do you appoint morality a higher ground than rationality?

That is what the block button is for.

Most people who are in favor of free speech, are perfectly fine with you personally clicking the block button.

Instead, what they don't want, is a centralized platform preventing consenting parties from engaging with each other.

Yes. The title article literally is all about how Tether was making collateralized loans of Tether to Celsius where the collateral was crypto:

> How do we know this? Because we can see Celsius borrowing from Tether. And we now know those loans were collateralized.

> We do not know the precise collateral arrangements except that Alex Mashinsky told the FT:

> If you give them enough collateral, liquid collateral, bitcoin, ethereum and so on . . . they will mint tether against it

It isn't USD, it isn't treasuries, it isn't commercial paper (Chinese or otherwise). At the end of the day it is going to be 90% crypto collaterialized loans that makes up Tether.

It is so weird to clearly read an article about the funding mechanism behind Tether and people literally refuse to read it correctly and start yapping about commercial paper.
- Sandboxing of each request (is performant when the right kinds of snapshot+CoW technique is used)

- PaaS for running WASM compiled untrusted web applications, especially nice for "edge service style PaaS"

- Node style async of rust, can be a bit more simple then rust-async (but also likely more limited)

- Similar "compile once run everywhere" as JVM (but better due to limited interface and server focused?), i.e. you have the wasm runner compiled for each target but you need to compile the program only once and then you can run it on all kinds of platforms including x86_64, arm64 etc. Especially good for PaaS but also good for more flexible deployment pipelines in large companies.

And especially for many web use-cases, especially as run on a lot of "edge" services the drawbacks of single threaded WASM do not matter much. E.g. the workloads are of the kind which tend to work very well with WASM performance wise.
We would have known about near meltdowns by now, which probably would have been more common in the early decades of nuclear navy power, considering we know things like how the air force nearly destroyed a huge swath of North Carolina due to an accident involving a nuclear bomb for example.
At least the LNG terminal construction is sped up and “0 LNG” will hopefully not hold true for long.

No, most of it was replaced with extremely dirty brown coal extracted by strip mining.
Honestly, in most cases testing is a band-aid on top of a bigger problem. IME things usually break due to complexity, not due to lack of tests.

But of course, tackling complexity is hard. It's much easier to sprinkle the big ball of mud with tests and set it in stone.

If you feel like you're wasting time manually testing, it probably means that the blast radius of your changes is too big. You should prefer smaller rockets over your head, not bigger bunkers to hide in.

>You'll consume 6 meals per day, every 2 hours, (50 food pills x 6 meals = 300 food pills) and then have a traditional dinner at 7pm as long as it is under 1,000 calories.
This is basically a weight loss plan focused on eating less.

These "food pills" don't replace a complete diet, they are supplements, and expensive at that ($698/mo).

Want an easier solution to weight loss? Eat whole foods, cut down on carbs, and be strict regarding caloric intake. Always consult your doctor prior to beginning any weight loss program. It's not easy, yes; but spending money for magic pills is not going to make it easier, no it will just make you feel better about yourself which in the end is what you're paying for.

Indeed, sometimes they do and sometimes they don't.

Why doesn't the rest of the world (outside the US) have a 3rd middle brake light (CHMSL), as was mandated in the US in 1986?

My guess is because, despite measurements of ~22% crash avoidance at the time, that number turned out to be between 0% and 4% in practice. Maybe the rest of the world didn't care about 4%, or maybe they thought it was as stupid then as it turned out to be.

But the CHMSL standard in the US has refused to die.
FAANG at this point is as diverse as the whole startup landscape. Google and Amazon have their fingers in a lot of stuff, attracting a wide range of developers, with plenty of variability in things like management quality, quality of developers, on-call stress, uniqueness of work, e.t.c.

Its very possible to find a good team within those (with Amazon probably being easier then others since it seems that they have the best intra-company transfer program), and its very possible to be stuck on a shit team with no free time.

I would say that FAANG still wins in the metric of raw dollar/hour of actual work. You can find teams with budget to coast on, develop simple software, while getting paid at standard company rates for the levels.
Yes, but it's not Germany alone.
A lot of the electricity produced in Germany is exported to other countries.
And if this is not longer possible this would be a problem for them too.
More aggravating is the circumstance that France, another European country that usually exports electricity cannot too as many (half) of their fleet of nuclear reactors are in maintenance.
Germany also uses electric stoves for cooking more than gas. An electric stove uses 2000-5000W. The grid handles everyone turning on their stove around the same times fine. Maybe heaters will have to run on top of that, but likely most won't have their space heater running while also cooking.
Sometimes the "demonstration" is inaction or refusal to use it by key staff. I've heard of this in hospitals in the U.S., senior doctors refusing to use EMR, databases, or other technology because they prefer the old processes.
Many market trading firms and hedge funds pay their engineers about the same as they'd make in FAANG, in all cash. However, you're locked to another high cost of living city (NYC) unless you work in commodities, which is in Chicago (cold six months of the year), or you work in oil/gas which is in Houston, TX (muggy for 8-9 months of the year, and you're also driving _literally everywhere_).

If you're a people person and are willing to travel, you can make a lot of money in tech sales.

If you're not a people person but are (really) good with tech and are willing to travel, you can make a lot of (but not FAANG-tier) money in consulting or pre-sales.

The best part about these two options is that you can escape the need to live in a city with a very high cost of living. Many of my peers make a lot of money but live in crazy cheap cities. Just have to be willing to be near an airport (about an hour away is good).

I hear that engineers working at defense contractors can make ridiculous money as well, but you're working at the speed of the government, most of the "good" work requires a government clearance, and the tech gets older as you go up in clearance level. You're also, more than likely, going to work on things that kill people or save people from being killed, in some way or another.

To quantify, "a lot of money" to me means >$250k/year.
Usually that appears to stop at protests that aren't so publicly visible, and by smaller cliques of technically sophisticated users.

It seems to me that most unsophisticated users tend to view software as mysterious and immutable. Something which can not be amended and no-one can be held accountable for.
They will suffer, but mostly without grasping that they could resist.
