I don’t want to live in a world where my appliances turn off at unexpected times to manage load.

I also don’t want every appliance in my house connected to the cloud and collecting usage data.

I sincerely doubt I’m in the minority on the former, and I hope I’m not in the minority on the latter.

I suppose the problem you run into is that supernatural moral law is ephemeral and probably caught up in some religion or other which means something different to every member of that religion (as far as I can tell), whereas as actual law is written down, and actually exists.
The overwhelming majority of storage will not be batteries, unless a massively cheaper battery chemistry takes over.

Lake Mead stores (well, stored) radically less energy than mountaintop reservoirs with thousands of feet of "head" can hold behind cheap earthen dikes. Look up "penstock".
We don't know what qualia are so it's an acceptable possibility to me (unprovable, mind) that such a circuit may 'experience' something. It would be unutterably basic if it happened, nonetheless I'm ok with that.

There's also a view that consciousness is intrinsic to everything (ah, here you go https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/does-consciousnes...) which is a cheap, cheesy and IMO totally unacceptable way to 'explain' consciousness and I reject that as an explanation, but it doesn't make it actually wrong.

Edit: missed your last line "We have explanation for how there can be experiences/qualia" - I'm surprised, you can explain it, got any links?
<facepalm>

It isn’t simply economic. I don’t think you understand the fundamental purpose of an energy grid.

It isn’t just a bunch of wires existing on their own. It is the energy delivery infrastructure for all of society.

“Baseload” is an attribute of the grid itself that indicates the minimum energy capacity these wires at present carry.

Baseload is NOT a constant value or a constant consumption pattern across time of day/day of week alone.

Baseload reflects the consumption of energy by society that the grid is DESIGNED to serve at any time.

In other words, were one to use your definition, the grid would no longer be considered a functioning grid anymore but one that is broken since it is incapable of meeting its minimum design specifications.

I think this point is underrated (albeit a bit unrelated).

If China is looking to abuse the world in the way it has been abused, and to cause humiliation to others the way it has been humiliated, then getting the nations workforce to spend their time sitting in front of a computer doing an almost entirely unproductive activity for hours on end, creating a dopamine high that most other activities and certainly hard acitivities like studying can't compete with, then video games share an aweful lot of properties with opium. Real money for digital currency or goods is also something that is ridiculous enough it should probably be heavily regulated.
I am in the cult of "living in the present, where one part of the world has experienced one of the severest droughts in the history of mankind, and the other the worst floods". Recently I joined a second cult called "it's only going to get worse". So what the heck, we've got money and time for expensive solutions that take forever to finish.
At least they didn't reuse the names... unlike e.g. the three variants of the "GT730" they released.
Germany is a densely populated country. We already don't know where to put the nuclear waste. No one wants it on his or her doorstep. The cost of storage alone is a nightmare.

The nuclear exit was supported by the population and not decided against them by politicians.

And to your criticism: A lot of politicians in germany are lawyers. Are they allowed do decide for the country? Do they have an idea about nuclear topics?
The emergency measures are needed because the peacetime policy was not designed to be resilient. A better peacetime policy would have obviated the need for destructive emergency measures.
It's funny (not haha) the watermen interviewed on national news are speculating on where the crabs might have gone. "Maybe they migrated North?" Is there any consideration to the possibility if not probability that a critical point has been reached, and the crab population has collapsed primarily due to over-harvesting? Far be it from me to stand in the way of watermen entitlement to harvest a hold full of crabs, but maybe they should explore retraining for new careers in software development, as software consumers can be over-harvested with expired licenses every couple of years indefinitely.

The same people who get pumped up by football games and tailgaters, war epics, and 'badassery' and doing stupid but 'brave' things like shooting fireworks out your ass, are the same people who will deny anything that's 'too scary' not to.

Or attribute it to "God's will" and then still assume he'll take care of things so they can just go on ignoring the issues.

Reminds me of the cowardly lion who could talk a big game,but was inwardly afraid of everything. Even xenophobia and racism --it's ALL rooted in fear of 'others' fear of this. Politicians know damn well the power of fear, and have used it w/ great success to stay in power and keep left/right workers divided on stuff like abortion/gun rights.
Don’t you have to show you’ve employed Americans citizens or green card holders? Or is just showing some investment good enough?

Either way - pretty sure it easy enough to fudge the employees too.
> important for the ability to accelerate energy production without a proportional growth in mining/resource harvesting that harms the planet.

I agree.

> A melon sized chunk of uranium powers an Aircraft carrier of the US navy for over 2 decades … a single trip around the pacific for a conventionally fueled aircraft carrier costs 125 MILLION GALLONS of fuel.

Are you sure you didn't add a few zeros in there? I think the real energy density difference there is about a million, but you're at least 200 times more than that, depending on Num_trips?

(But yes, to the core point, transport is the one thing where energy density matters, and a nuclear powered aircraft carrier, or sub, is totally a thing where atomic power shines. Subs especially. Just that they're not a major part of the problem, and while this is a fun diversion I had been more interested in baseload here).
> How do IQ tests discriminate by race?

Like this:

> I am guessing you mean IQ tests discriminate by race in the sense that racial groups exhibit disparate outcomes on the tests

If you go to court trying to argue that your hiring and promotion system isn't racially biased and it merely exposed the truth of some racial groups being less intelligent than others, you're going to lose. It doesn't matter if you're factually correct, you're going to lose anyway and you'll probably be personally ruined for even attempting it.
There is a decoder in golang.org/x/images/webp already [0], I don't know how full-featured it is: I've never used it. The x libs are part of the Go Project but outside the main Go tree — and are fairly well-known to many Go developers, but clearly not all. Stuff in x sometimes makes its way into the standard library, although not always.

And there is a third-party package [1] for webp also, in native Go, which includes both a decoder and an encoder. Plus there are other third-party packages, that bind to external code (C libs, at a guess).

— If your complaint is speficially that webp support should be a part of the standard library, then perhaps keep an eye on the stuff in x, that's often where stuff happens before making it into the stdlib.

And/or file an issue.

Even foreigners living in a country among the locals people often miss a lot. That shouldn't be surprising, we miss a ton of stuff even in our own country while speaking the same language. Have you ever heard someone from your country tell foreigners about what people in your country are like, and thought "what are they talking about"?

There's just so much variation, it's hard to really say. I've known people who lived in a country for years, don't speak the language, and live in their small expat circle. I've known typical tourist types who found themselves living among the locals because they ended up on a local tour. Or people that don't live in a country, but have studied the language and consumed the local media to an extent that they have a better understanding of a lot of cultural trends than people who lived or visited the place.

In the end, it's probably best to let go of the idea that any one person is going to see the "true" place, or that one city is more "authentic" than another. Everyone, even the locals, are just going to know some piece of a much larger whole. I'm not sure how useful it is to argue about which piece is better than the others.
I have. The hedge fund world isn't really as enigmatic as they would have you think. It's the same as anywhere else: work at a reputable company, get an interview, do well. I don't think it's much different than working at a FAANG. Lots of ex-Google employees at Two Sigma, for example.

Things are a little different if you want a job as a quant than a software developer, though.

Absolutely agree. Probably the best police drama I've ever watched. Note that when Cracker was on TV, he won the BAFTA award for best actor each of the three years.

Because war is so horrible, there's no reason why people who don't fight or unwillingly participate in them shouldn't be able to know just how horrible it can be. Implicitly rose-tinting awful realities by keeping silent about their nature is rarely a good thing for future generations. If anything, the world needs more people who have been in wars to make explicitly clear just how many grotesque reasons there are for avoiding them if at all possible.
I already referenced Stirner, who is well placed in both the Egoist and Anarchist traditions. Ayn Rand, on the other hand, cannot be placed within the Anarchist tradition, as she is unabashedly pro-Capitalism. Like, not "a necessary evil" pro-Capitalism, "an unequivocal moral good" pro-Capitalism. And Capitalism, being defined as a hierarchy based on control of capital, is entirely mutually exclusive with Anarchism, the rejection of hierarchy.

Is it ”possible”? That just depends on what you are willing to give up. You clearly aren’t fond of video calls if you consider giving up a graphical desktop.
It's weird that we treat psychoactive drugs differently than other drugs. We don't have a fear of a diabetic becoming dependent on insulin or someone with high blood pressure becoming addicted to beta blockers. There are side effects is a bad generalization of all drugs used to treat mental health issues. When I say I am taking beta blockers, most people comment on how I am a bit young to be taking them, but when I was prescribed benzos for the same condition, everyone decided to become my doctor and tell me what I should and shouldn't take. Endless stories about how then knew someone who got addicted to pain killers and became homeless and how they heard benzos are just as bad. I chose to switch off benzos to beta blockers.

Doctors and the patient are the best judge for the benefits and risks of living with certain conditions vs being medicated for them. In most cases there aren't side effects.

They are extremely expensive in LCOE terms.

Their core life relies on highly enriched uranium. Production and delivery at commercial power scale is a weapons proliferation risk in addition to being more expensive.

Refueling a naval reactor is a multi-year operation that happens only a tiny handful of times in the life of the ship. Current-gen submarines don't get refueled at all. They can get away with this in large part because they aren't running at 100% power. They are shut down in port, and even at sea they only operate at low power most of the time.

To reduce LCOE, commercial power reactors run at full power all the time. Refueling a commercial power reactor takes a month or so and happens every 1.5 years.

- I am pretty sure that static verifiers are a subclass of static analysers.

- Prusti does not require you to write any "properties". I just ran it on a piece of code, which has no annotations for Prusti, and it still found a potential integer overflow. Maybe it has some internal annotations for std, but none for my code.
I grew up in between Ypsilanti & Detroit, and I've lived around/in a number of borderline-impoverished communities. It's not my place to make generalizations, but you should be aware that your tourism is not always welcome. Many, if not most of these people, are not proud of their situation. They might smile and take your money as you photograph them, but your motivations are not mutual.

When I was a kid, my decently wealthy grandparents visited on my birthday and offered me $100 if I'd cut my "garish, girly" hair down to a more typical length. Self-righteous allegories aside, I still feel that choice burned into my head like a brand. They let me choose between living as I am, a resented shame in a family too poor to buy cans of Coke or Pokemon cards, or take $100 to humiliate myself for a few short moments. In the end I rejected them, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't dream about yo-yos and Bakugan that night.

Nowadays I thankfully live in a different economic strata, and I even sympathize with your curiosity to explore different cultures and lifestyles. You should stay fully aware of your optics at all times, though. Sometimes, the greatest charity is treating other individuals with the same respect you give your peers.

At least we still have lab grown meat, as it appears we'll soon have to get all our sustenance from labs since we'll probably be the last living creature on earth, sooner than later.
Renewables + storage will provide massively cheaper baseload power.
The thing about the article is it talks about "it's hard to distinguish corruption and policy" in China. It seems like a large look at drug and money flows would say the same about the US, China and Mexico and look at the particular agencies in each nation where the corruption is concentrated.
Scala is object oriented and anyway even if you write non OOP code it ends up (usually) on the JVM so you still get all the virtual tables stuff. If anything idiomatic Scala usually has significantly more pointer indirection than Java.

It's not about the cash per se, it's big brother wanting to know how you got the money in the first place. If you can show it's all legal and taxes paid then no problem cash is fine. But of course as soon as you mention cash, eyebrows are raised "why would someone want to keep that much cash and not want to put it in a bank if they are all clean?"

Big brother wanting its lion share in everything you earn is the crux of it.

You are assuming geopolitical realities that will... never be reality. The entire issue of Germany's dependence on energy from another country makes this obvious.

You also assume that power plants can just be flipped on and off like a light switch. They can't.
It’s probably fair to say that energy demand over the next ten years will increase significantly.

The anecdotes of the end of Moores law that signifies the end of electronic efficiency through miniaturization alone and the increasing adoption of energy hungry devices for personal compute or lifestyle will certainly have a multiplicative effect over time as these trends make their way through society.

In such a scenario, it’s hard to imagine prices being the same if demand increases by even a single digit multiple of the present.
Speed of deployment + complexity (bugger all) + safety of deployment (passive product v product that can root entire ecosystems) + ongoing maintenance means solar>nuclear any day.

Nuclear is over priced, high risk centralised power. Yuck.
You can also get addicted to pain killers. They still can help, but are surely no long term solution.

Antidepressants fall in the same category for me, even though I always avoided them. But if things are really dark, I would use any tool.
I'm surprised that I strongly disagree. My eyes glaze right past the difference between the fh and the fi in that example.

They also glaze past the end of the mega-strings, but I usually solve that problem by either actually ctrl-F finding for the string (which will highlight it) or by finding an examplar and selecting it (which will highlight all instances of the same symbol in the languages and IDEs I use).

I'm a firm believer that "code isn't just text" (in fact, most of my frustration with code is tools that treat it so... The set of strings that aren't valid programs is vastly larger than the set that are, so why should I be treating programs as if they're mere strings? It'll lead me to create non-compilable artifacts). So I try to avoid being in situations where the only tools I have to work with to understand code are a text editor or an annotated printout (I don't doubt that's done in places, but I've gone my whole career managing to avoid it so far).
The overwhelming majority of utility scale storage will not be in batteries, so battery technology does not matter.

There is definitely a tremendous amount of work going into emscripten/wasm. Minetest is multi-threaded, and so relies on SharedArrayBuffer which only became available in 2020.

Sure it does. The billions who subsist on seafood will now have to eat eggs, pork, beef. This will cause supply issues of those things. If you're a vegetarian you might be safe, though those too will be in higher demand maybe.

There's also water shortages, see the drought that's drying up the Mississippi river. Without water we'll have less and less crop yields.

We slowly had changes happen over 3 decades, then all of a sudden hit a turning point where we're breaking records yearly, maybe even monthly, and starting to get some feedback loops brewing.

The govts of the world though don't seem to think it's a big priority, lucky for them they're all ran by old people who will be dead before it really gets out of hand.

Show me one place anywhere in the entire history of grid-scale renewables where the consumer's costs went down.

The cost to the developer of deploying new solar / wind to a grid may become more favourable, but they're selling in to a market that reselles to retail / commercial clients, who will, inevitably, pay more over time.

I think what you're argument should be is that new nuclear would result in end-users paying more than they would for new renewables.

I'm mostly convinced where you, or anyone else, lands on the matter, is heavily biased by preconceptions...

and generally tend to think we have the resources to do a many-pronged approach, and that success is less technology dependant and more dependant on the competence of governments and bureaucracies, and the people who constitute them.
Note that according to the press conference they want to start investigating the possibility of it.

The previous government had basically said the same thing. Neither will actually built anything in the near future.
I don't think load shifting can have much of an effect. I would be surprised if more than 10% of the load could be shifted more than an hour.
> where one part of the world has experienced one of the severest droughts in the history of mankind, and the other the worst floods".

Nothing happening today, extrapolated out to 20 years with the most severe climate models, will be severe enough to cause the "end of the world". Anybody who's telling you we'll have total societal collapse by 2042 is out of touch with reality. The only way for things to go that badly that fast is for Earth to be hit by something big from space, but that is very unlikely to happen in any given 20 year period.
