Land use, you're saying land use is not a red herring?

Replace all energy and not just what is already electrified, and also boost global energy use to the per-capita rate of Qatar (I think the highest in the world at about 2.5 times the average of the USA), and also boost world population to 10 billion, you can still do this 30 times over with PV placed slightly worse than if it was randomly scattered.

There's a lot of land on this planet of ours.

That's why land use is a red herring.

Ask HN: A website that offers RSS feeds for software releases?
Hi HN!

Here's what I am searching for, but haven't found yet: a website that offers the releases of software as RSS feeds.

I imagine that after logging in, you can search and select software products (from Github, from Gitlab, or even proprietary,...). You then get one RSS feed which combines all releases into one stream.

Creating multiple streams that combine by topic, programming language or whatever would be great too.

Does something like this exist? Or something similar? I know that Github offers feeds for single projects, but it feels tedious to add like 50+ single feeds to the reader.

Thanks for any tips!

I want to say I read somewhere once about how the railroad had huge implications in the cause of WW1 and I would guess it had a lot to do with the American Civil War as well.

It's a different die than the 4090 (and the 4080 16gb for that matter), they already had a lot of them made, but may redirect future production to more 4090 and 4080 12gb while having the mfgs rebadge the 4080 12gb to say 4070 and just sit on them until reboxing/rebadging.
According to this, https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML1117/ML11171A340.pdf, the two design alternatives are "dry cavity" (aka "core catcher") and "wet cavity". But the dry/wet distinction is a little misleading as according to this paper, https://www.kns.org/files/pre_paper/37/17S-854%EC%9D%B4%EC%A..., both alternatives require cooling water. The dry cavity design relies on indirect cooling--the water contacts the sacrificial layer ("catcher")--whereas in the wet cavity design the water directly contacts the core material, which has still effectively been "caught" in the cavity beneath the reactor vessel.

I'm not sure what all the pros and cons are for each approach, except that the wet cavity design has a higher risk of a steam explosion because of the direct water contact. But this seems to be addressed by containment structures designed for higher pressures.

EDIT: The succinct comparison of each approach is in the introduction to the second paper: "Some plants adopted the 'dry cavity' to enhance the spreading of the core melt on the cavity floor as well as to remove the steam explosion risk, while other plants use pre-flooding strategy to make the 'wet cavity' in order to enhance the coolability after RPV failure or to reduce the RPV failure probability."
Not to start this whole flamewar but I was totally in the other camp (not yours) and then covid hit and now my trust in consensus science is super worn out and have basically started to believe it might be fine.
Sadly, D has its own set of problems and design flaws. It's better than C++ in many ways, but still far from Rust in terms of solid foundation in computer science and language design. Frankly, I see no point in integrating it with Rust.

And what do you mean by Rust being weakest in these categories anyway, and why do you think it is? What are "string-first apps"? And how is not adopting inheritance-based OOP a weakness? I think, many experienced programmers, especially those familiar with ML family of languages and otherwise well-versed in different paradigms, will argue that this particular flavour of OOP is more harmful than helpful.

Typical right-wing reactionary environmental policy. When you do not have any climate-related politics to bring to the table, all you do is shout "nuclear" at the top of your lungs and tote it as the solution to everything climate.

> Much of the resistance towards 100% Renewable Energy (RE) systems in the literature seems to come from the a-priori assumption that an energy system based on solar and wind is impossible since these energy sources are variable. Critics of 100% RE systems like to contrast solar and wind with ’firm’ energy sources like nuclear and fossil fuels (often combined with CCS) that bring their own storage. This is the key point made in some already mentioned reactions, such as those by Clack et al. [225], Trainer [226], Heard et al. [227] Jenkins et al. [228], and Caldeira et al. [275], [276].

> However, while it is true that keeping a system with variable sources stable is more complex, a range of strategies can be employed that are often ignored or underutilized in critical studies: oversizing solar and wind capacities; strengthening interconnections [68], [82], [132], [143], [277], [278]; demand response [279], [172], e.g. smart electric vehicles charging using delayed charging or delivering energy back to the electricity grid via vehicle-to-grid [181], [280]–[282]; storage (battery, compressed air, pumped hydro)[40]–[43], [46], [83], [140], [142], such as stationary batteries; sector coupling [16], [39], [90]–[92], [97], [132], [216], e.g. optimizing the interaction between electricity, heat, transport, and industry; power-to-X [39], [106], [134], [176], e.g. producing hydrogen at moments when there is abundant energy; et cetera. Using all these strategies effectively to mitigate variability is where much of the cutting-edge development of 100% RE scenarios takes place.

> With every iteration in the research and with every technological breakthrough in these areas, 100% RE systems become increasingly viable. Even former critics must admit that adding e-fuels through PtX makes 100% RE possible at costs similar to fossil fuels. These critics are still questioning whether 100% RE is the cheapest solution but no longer claim it would be unfeasible or prohibitively expensive. Variability, especially short term, has many mitigation options, and energy system studies are increasingly capturing these in their 100% RE scenarios.

Pumped hydro storage, batteries, and/or long-distance grid interconnection. It's not often overcast in the Sahara, as far as I know, and solar power imported from far to the east and west can mitigate the day/night cycle problem.

It's reasonable to keep ICE power plants around as an emergency backup; if you have to use them for a week in January or when infrastructure breaks for whatever reason it's not the end of the world. Ideally things would run smoothly enough that they'd never be used.
A side comment. Paul Fussell mentioned the origin of the GI slang “FUBAR.”

One thing I disliked early in my career were the many tutorials and demos that named the first object Foo and the next object Bar. I doubt any of these tutorial authors served in WW2 or in any war. It seemed to me similar to suburban raised children mimicking Gangster Rap. It feels fake and phony to me. War is horrific and evil. Writing a tutorial is the complete opposite. I guess I am the dude who yells at kids to get off my lawn.

The point is that all of this merely requires more resources at runtime, not any additional work on behalf of the developer. So, by allowing limits higher than is practical on hardware at the time of release, the game can scale somewhat better on future hardware. What's the downside?

High-res textures are a different thing, since they actually have to be painted. Or upscaled, I suppose, but that's still code somebody has to write.

Absolutely not an expert here and would love to be corrected but my poorly informed personal impression is that the whole idea of a sustainable amount of fishing and whether all species even have a number that is safe to harvest (especially given that no species exists in isolation), let alone what that number is, is on fairly shaky grounds scientifically. Meaning that a lot of this is guesswork based on too little information and "doing something is better than doing nothing" compromises with the fishing industry. If a species population has appeared to be stable for x number of years with y amount of fishing, does that mean that it's sustainable? Indefinitely? Given other changes in ecosystem and environment?

There was a shortage about a decade ago, right? I remember because my partner had ADHD and had trouble getting adderall. I remember it was definitely a rough time, even after getting it back.

Let me explain: in the kernel memory is not always simply "memory".

Sometimes writing to a memory you own has huge side effects. And that part is not handled by rust.
The comments in this very post explain why. It's going on 13 years now and a lot of HN readers still know crypto is a scam. There is still a lot of brainwashing required.

Fixed your comment for you. You must be one of those "writers" the OP alluded to.
To be fair to both sides, the electricity prices at the time when the decision was made was very different from today. We had prices in the south of sweden 2020 that was as low as around €0.02 per kw/h, compared to over €0.3 in 2022, and in 2020 the price trend was looking to be going downwards.

If prices had continue to go down and let say had landed at €0.01 per kw/h this year than we would not be discussing nuclear power as much. It will be a gamble to say what prices will be in 1, 5, 10 and 20 years into the future, and any gamble involve a cost in one way or an other. The previous government made one bet, this government is doing an other.
I'm not saying it doesn't work, I'm saying that relying on it being a certain value, or one of a set of values, is like relying on the value of a global variable.

we avoid that in software development-land whenever possible, and for good reason.
The sun doesn't shine, especially at useful angles, enough and battery technology at scale isn't there. We absolutely need nuclear, essentially no matter the cost, assuming populations of certain countries don't want to use coal.
Is there any nuclear facility that's privately owned that didn't get massive subsidies/loan guarantees from a government?

At the size of a 100MW+ generation facility, you need government sized budgets and timelines.
You're talking about supply lines across an ocean... that's a lead time of several months... not to mention the time it takes for making injection molds, etc. these cards were already made and badged...

At the very least there's probably some recall operations to ship back, take off the shrouds and put on new shrouds for the rebadge, if not also rebox.

...but then you realise they called the "12GB 4080" an AD104-400, and the "16GB 4080" an AD103-300, while the 4090 got named the AD102-300.
And the adjacent graphs show phase (line growing longer, spreading along an orbit), and plane (line breaking into multiple lines slotting into nearby orbits). Positioning is accomplished by spending time at different-than-deployed altitudes, mostly lower. Lower gives a difference in nodal precession (Earth being non-spherical), IIRC something vaguely like half a degree/day difference out of several deg/day, slowly changing plane westward. Thus plane changes take weeks of drifting. Launch being far more about "go fast (in some direction)" than "while being high", rapid plane change (direction change) would have prohibitive "launch-like" energy cost. So a single launch will populate one or few nearby planes. And finally lower orbits orbit faster, quickly overtaking deployed sats in a single plane to reach deployment positions. Kerbal Space Program is thought a fun way to play with such.
>> some analyses show that in the US, Gen Z have about 86% less buying power than Baby Boomers did at the same age

Looks like in the analysis they cite for this statistic, census data from the "Current Population Survey" (CPS) is used for incomes. That's going to understate buying power for Gen Z considerably since that income data leaves out many transfer payments. The Earned Income Tax Credit for one, which is a big part of spending for low income households with children. The EITC wasn't introduced until the oldest boomers were 30, and it was much smaller when it was first introduced.

There are many other transfer payments that the census data leave out that either didn't exist for the boomers when they were young, or that are much larger now.

The CPS income data simply does not have the ability to answer the questions, "How much buying power does Gen Z have?" or "How does buying power compare across generations".

True, but the same could be said for decently designed and built houses customized for the environment it's in. Go down the average residential street nearly anywhere in the USA and you are likely to see the same designs for homes built in the same decade despite a huge range in weather/temps.

Sad thing it's not particularly hard to make a radically more efficient home. One that will pay off many times over during the life of the house. However it costs the builder more, and saves money for the buyer. That disconnect means houses are built as cheap as zoning allows.

I've seen houses designed for below freezing weather that can be heated with 100 watts! The tricks weren't particularly expensive. Great insulation (of course), which of course can cause stale air and even unhealthy air. But then they engineered in the healthy amount of air from outside, but then had a energy recovery system where the exhausted air would heat/cool the incoming air so you could get a high flow with minimal energy losses. It's getting to the point where resistive heat, the crudest of heaters, is used despite being 3-4x less efficient than a heat pump. But the house is so efficient that the electricity used is minimal.

So no need to move 100 tons of rock, worry about leaks, safety issues, put up with worse windows/lighting, and where to put the 100 tons of rock, etc. Just use more insulation and a bit of smarts on energy efficient air handling.
Pure FUD. The wind doesn't blow all the time and battery technology at scale isn't there.
More than that is the injection molded shrouds and backplates on many of the cards in question, not to mention reboxing and recalling existing/shipped inventory.
Mostly less.
Also the solutions being pushed kind of suck for most people. We’ve had 50 years of sustainability and eco-asceticism. Denial is a perfectly fine reaction to the solutions being proposed.
Don't forget Zig, with Bun.
Renewables don't give you baseload power. So renewables + nuclear is a good balance.
A question for someone who understands the neurology and biology of this much more than I do:
