The units aren't being mixed up, they're in both MW and MWh. 100 MW / 400 MWh refers to the storage capacity required to put out 100 megawatts for four hours. Say you have a 100 MW solar facility, how much does it cost to keep the plant running 4 hours after sundown? That's what 100 MW / 400 MWh means. So sum this number with the cost of generation up on the chart above, and that's the net cost with storage.

Nuclear doesn't need storage, since it's power output is not intermittent. The amount of wasted capacity varies with season, but minimum demand is usually 80% of peak demand. In the summer, this increases and the peak demand occurs during the day. This is a good place for solar: rooftop solar mitigating A/C is a great application of solar. But to fulfill base load, which is the vast majority of electricity demand, it is an ineffective choice.
Unclear whether they just did this anyway as a reward, to create a muddy troll, or what. But an investor newsletter claims he spoke of a call with Russian leadership around the time he tweeted his Ukraine peace note as well.

That’s wild. I would be very concerned if my psychiatrist treated all phenylethylamines as interchangeable. I guess people have to make do with what is available though.
Not just that, practically every petrochemical (plastic, fertilizer, synthetic rubber, etc) is derived from oil and/or natural gas. We need more fossil fuels to make the green tech in the first place (in the form of mines, powering factories, and producing petrochemicals). To convert the entire globe, we actually need to be producing a lot more than we currently are!

Sure a day may come when there's enough solar/wind/nuclear to restrict oil/natural gas to petrochemical production, but until that day green tech, like all others, follows the price of oil. You want to cut oil production now? Say good-bye to the green transition.
Ask HN: Is anyone else trying to opt out of Equifax WorkNumber?
On the heels of yesterday's bombshell:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33198708

First thing this morning I emailed TWNFreeze@equifax.com to request a data freeze as outline at:

https://employees.theworknumber.com/employee-data-freeze/

But I've not yet heard anything back.

This is only the initial first step in a process with unknown hoops to jump through, but first I must get the form to reply and submit the freeze request.

If I don't hear back by tomorrow morning I'll mail in the form, but my god this is frustrating to have to opt out of something I never consented to in the first place.

I find that also unrealistic, considering Europe is about to face a severe recession, where will they get the money from to build this unrealistic defense system?

They don't have the money themselves, considering it's a corrupted country [1], so the money is already gone considering the current events led to the migration of wealthy oligarchs

Also weaponizing an entire country and putting at risk its citizens is insane to me

> The decent answer is, simply, that storage will be built when there is enough renewable capacity to charge it from.

In your fantasy land a housing crisis is impossible!

The decent answer is that housing will be built there are enough construction materials to build them from. So a housing shortage will never happen.

What, Britain has housing shortage? Did they run out of clay to make bricks? Did they run out of buyers? Did they run out of money, while housing prices rose 10x? Did they run out of Land while 97% of the land is not built on? what could it be?

Or you could just build some damn nuclear plants so you don’t have to turn people’s A/C’s off on days when the wind isn’t blowing.
Not really. Like yes, enabling DLSS lowers the real rendering resolution, but it looks better than native in pretty much all cases, minus some motion artifacts. You'd be silly not to use DLSS in a game that supports it. On a 4k screen anyway, it's not quite as great at lower target resolutions.
I bet what is going on isn't that surprising to industry insiders, or the people who make profit-loss decisions about whether to fund power plants or not.

This is the issue with politics and the power market, the language gets locked into "what should we do" which is then interpreted as "well, the government should do it!".

The problem with nuclear power isn't what the government is funding, it is that the government is saddling the industry with enormous costs in attempting to meet an unrealistic safety standard that _nothing else_ is held to. I suspect solar farms would go bankrupt if their waste was held to the same do-no-harm standard.

If the government just let people build what they thought was best, and demanded a generic fact-based safety standard rooted in observed harms (ie, not the stupid linear model after Chernobyl or some arbitrary radiation exposure limit which is literally undetectable vs. coal killing people on a daily basis) then the market could just sort this out.

Nuclear was on the too-cheap-to-meter path until the bureaucrats turned up to help decide how to run the plants. And EU bureaucrats are particularly bad at managing fast paced technological change they have a multi-decade track record of failure at this point in exactly these two fields - technology and energy policy. China is eating their lunch. China! Authoritarian alleged communists! That is what policy failure in the EU has led to.

I suppose it would stand to reason. The talk I've heard has been about the disparity of (nearly) banning crab-harvesting but barely restricting crab-wasting.
Why do you care so much what workflow some rando on the internet uses?
It might be possible that what you're doing is both noble and controversial. That may be inescapable from what you're trying to do.

There's a certain burden that comes with being from the areas you've covered, which based on my limited reading of your Substack (today) I think you understand. Being a Florida boy might help too. Rust Belt came out some time ago, it was after I got out of the military I believe. I remember not being a fan, mainly because I felt like it would fuel stereotypes about "back row" Americans. I think I was wrong at the time assuming your work would be fuel for that; much of America is already predispositioned to disliking the Midwest and South for a variety of reasons. It probably didn't help I was living in a trailer at the time and at a low point of my life; in that way, I think it was a reminder of what the mirror looks like (though I was not a Trump voter, Rust Belt covered a lot of culture too).

In some way, I think because there's a burden for the people who live and escape those experiences there is also a burden for you in telling that story. We are stuck in a state where front, and maybe middle row, people often just do not have a point of reference for McDonalds being a local watering hole (as an example). I see it in online discourse, I hear it in the areas I've lived in with my job, and I feel it in the runs of politics. I still thank my lucky stars I was able to leave, but I had better opportunities and luck than most.

All that to say, I'll buy Dignity. You at least dared to tell the stories of people whom the most powerful parts of the United States call "flyover".
As far as I understand it, Vyvanse is specifically designed not to be instant release. It is amphetamine attached to lysine that only becomes active after the lysine is cleaved from it in your gut.
I absolutely grant that discretized images are dominantly low resolution approximations.

This does not mean, nor does it imply, that “pixels aren't little squares; they're sample points.” It was that claim I was objecting to.

The media onto which you are discretizing, and the method you use to do so, can be squares, without at all contradicting the bulk of your most recent comment. You could discretize onto emoji, using the colours, gradients, and shapes that best fit the ground truth image, and it would still be true that this is a low resolution approximation, and yet the pixel—lit: the picture element, the unit of display—is for sure more an emoji than a zero-size sample point!

(Addendum: to be clear, I was objecting to ‘sample point’/‘point sample’, cf. “other than the exact center-point of each grid square”. I don't object to the claim that these can be considered samples at all, since that is a very general term.)
You are absolutely correct that authenticity is hard to find, and that foreigners do not truly experience the culture as the locals. I hope I didn’t give that impression in my post. And my intention is not to argue, but rather to point out that someone transiting through a place in just a few years does not know that place deeply. The method of life that Chris describes has value, and is good. It’s just not the complete picture (nor am I saying that anyone has a complete picture)
Did you include real estate costs in your quick calculations?

Also, consider that the second Vogtle class reactor will cost less and be faster to build, and the third even less and even faster... if they bought 50 of them, the cost per reactor would be pretty reasonable.

Solar power also benefits from economies of scale, but solar has already gotten much of the up front scale cost reduction, whereas modern nuclear hasn't even started yet.

Mick, thanks for taking the time to share your observations and expertise about this industry.

Just want to say that my point about sharing the Canadian cod industry collapse was to illustrate the long-term effects - it still hasn't recovered 30 years later. And maybe that dovetails with what you're saying about indie crabbers being driven out, although from what I understand of the Canadian situation there is basically no industry now, indie or otherwise.

IRS considers many things beyond currency “cash.” See section 32 of the form where it has you quantify how much value of each of 6 financial instruments were received in the transaction.

Open VSX allows anyone to upload an extension there with the same name and description from the VSCode marketplace, but silently change code or make new releases, maybe introducing misfeatures or malicious code. Users typically don't notice because they think they are installing "the same" extension from the VSCode marketplace.

https://github.com/hediet/vscode-drawio/issues/141

> Hi ;)

> I never published a version v999.0! It seems like you are using the unofficial open vsx marketplace (where, apparently, anyone can upload anything). You can find an issue here in this repository about it.

> Unfortunately, someone uploaded the extension in that version which blocks any further updates with that name.

> For now I believe in Microsofts vision. I don't think a secondary marketplace is good for the community - It just causes confusions like this.

> If you setup a github action that automatically publishes this extension to open vsx, please open a PR! ;)

The established practice of having random individuals set up ad-hoc mirrors of VSCode extensions is a serious security issue.

If Open VSX wants to mirror VSCode extensions, that's okay - but they should do so with an automated process that mirrors ALL extensions and do not allow for random people to silently change the code of an extension with no clear indication to people installing it.

If, however, someone want to copy the code of an existing VSCode extension, change some things and upload it to Open VSX, that's super okay too (and in the spirit of open source), but please fork it and clearly indicate in the description that the extension is a fork, linking to the source code of the original extension. The currently situation is unacceptable.

There is a new installation in Oregon that uses solar + wind + lithium batteries.

3 is incorrect. Additionally, the idea of disproving the existence of a thing by arguing from inconsistencies between words describing it is not related to reality.

Edit: I read it. Anthis readily grants the existence of a mental life but wants to deny that “consciousness” is a meaning property. Sure, for the sake of argument. But that leaves the question of why I have a mental life at all entirely unaddressed.
No, the units are being mixed up. 100 MW / 100 MWh under "Levelized cost of Storage" means "storage of a capacity of 100 MWh, that can be released at a rate of 100 MW". So if I have a 100 MW solar plant, and I want it to run for 4 hours after sundown, I need 100 MW / 400 MWh of storage capacity. So it's that storage cost, plus the cost of 100 MW solar generation that yield the net cost.

Why not just measure in MWh? Because storage is useless without means to put that energy back in the grid. The electrical transformers to do this are not insignificant. So 100 MW / 100 MWh is more than a quarter of the cost of 100 MW / 400 MWh because of this overhead.

Current nuclear builds have indeed been expensive, the plants last a long time. As per your own source, it's still less than intermittent sources when you include the cost of storage. Furthermore, Lazard is not examining the transmission infrastructure needed o support low-density sources like solar and wind. So, yeah, despite the expense nuclear is still the most cost-effective option.

Furthermore, Lazard's estimates about nuclear are actually quite conservative. Nuclear plants were cheaper when built at scale. During the 1960s through the early 1980s, nuclear plants were often built for less than a quarter of what present builds [1]. Nuclear doesn't need technological improvement to get cheaper, it needs the economy of scale that previous plants enjoyed.

If you really want speed, you’ll want the neovim extension. This replaces VSCode in many ways, making it neovim under the hood…which means no waiting for VSCode to figure out what’s going on in your giant codebase, no wondering why it takes literally a full half-second sometimes before the characters you just typed pop onto the screen. But it’s still VSCode “on top,” so you can tap into the other features you might want when you want them.

Full disclosure: it’s been years since I used it, but I was super impressed

> My resume would show consecutive growth towards where I am today, followed by what amounts to a huge jump backwards.

Your resume isn’t a deposition. It shows what you put on it — and what you put on it is a good story that will get you the next job you’re applying for.
I certainly would. I wouldn't want to spend my retirement getting angry at myself that I suck at executing my hobbies, neglect relationships with people I care about, can't meaningfully rest even if try hard, struggle with keeping the space around me tidy even in the most generous meaning of that word etc.

In fact, that scenario would motivate me to seek medication much more than just having troubles with being productive at work. For now, I somehow manage to be productive enough for my job without having to use medication, so I'm trying not to fiddle with my organism needlessly. However, I'd still like to be less of a burden to the person I live with (who, thankfully, understands what I'm going through very well).
The winning proposal of referendum about nuclear power in 1980 never said anything about when the shutdown should be, that was something the politicians added afterwards. What it said was that shutdowns should be done as long it doesn’t undermine employment and welfare.

And because these shutdowns have radically increased electricity prices with unemployment as a result, thus both undermining employment and welfare, it actually violates what the winning proposal stipulated in the referendum.

Furthermore the tax on nuclear power was massively increased three times as consequence of influence of the two green parties, Center party and the Green Party, 2006, 2008 and 2015, and the same time subsidizing renewables, thus making nuclear power not economically sustainable. There was even a referendum in parliament about these latest shutdown with only one vote difference. No, it was intentional.
"unless the subsidies are directed into their own pockets"

This is ridiculously biased and not a constructive way to deal with political disagreements.

All political factions engage in rampant cronyism. To think it's confined to one faction is unbelievably naive.

Where do you think left wing parties receive the bulk of their campaign contributions from? It's members of public sector unions, who receive trillions of dollars in tax dollars every year in Europe.
