> I think massive expansion of nuclear power is the only realistic way to fix climate change.

While I agree on the overall direction of this sentiment I think nuclear cannot be "the" only way but "one amongst many" ways.
Talking about mental health is extremely challenging. On one extreme there is stupid: the people who believe none of this science is a form of health, or even real. On the other hand there is the disabled: the people who likely have undiagnosed mental health disorders themselves and are incapable of processing any of these conversations.

Such failures to process these vital concerns touch wide reaching aspects of discourse from politics to work to culture generally and that is quite a problem.
Perhaps if we were all a little more exposed to the horrors of war we wouldn't so eagerly vote for war-hungry leaders over and over and over.
There's really only one "class" of plugin that's a "must have" to turn Vim (Vim or Neovim) into an IDE replacement and that's some kind of Language Server integration; there are several you could pick, they all allow your Vim to automatically start and talk to a local Language Server, giving you all the fancy autocomplete/go-to-definition/inline documentation/etc that you expect from an IDE. Otherwise, I dunno, maybe a nice color theme? Probably the only one I really depend on that's not part of "general" vim is the FZF plugin, which lets me rapidly and quickly fuzzy search for files by their name anywhere in the folder I'm in.

Anyways reposting my comment from that thread:

Seems like even if you enable the option to block connections outside a VPN, Android is designed to still do connectivity checks for special cases like identifying captive portals (like hotel WiFi).

From the article:

> “Even if the content of the message does not reveal anything more than "some Android device connected", the metadata (which includes the source IP) can be used to derive further information, especially if combined with data such as WiFi access point locations.”

> Mullvad is still debating the significance of the data leak with Google, calling them to introduce the ability to disable connectivity checks and minimize liability points.

> Notably, GrapheneOS, Android-based privacy and security-focused operating system that can run on a limited number of smartphone models, provides this option with the intended functionality.

What weapons systems does India import from the US? I cannot think of any off-hand.

But I do know India just bought the S-400 system from Russia, they developed the BrahMos in close coordination with the Russians, the bought naval fighter aircraft from Russia for their aircraft carrier in 2017, they also bought attack helicopters from Russia the same year. They are leasing a nuclear submarine since 2017 from Russia, and as recently as 2011 they were buying tanks from Russia.

I think the general decline in Indian arms imports from Russia since in the 1980s has nothing to do with the US and more to do with India building their own equipment domestically, such as their new rifles, new main battle tanks, naval ships, artillery systems, and even now their own helicopters.

> I think you're saying this with a straight face?

I'm definitely saying it with a straight face, but I also ceased abusing food as entertainment and a primary source of short-term happiness over a decade ago.

Except what I'm referring to is traveling, as in, actually in-transit.

If you're boarding a plane to spend just one night somewhere, then yes I suppose I'm suggesting just fast the entire trip. That's not a form of travel I engage in. Obviously while visiting a foreign place for months I'm not suggesting you abstain from eating the entire time - it's impractical and missing the cultural experience.

What I am saying is when you're hoofing it days with a backpack, or boarding a 52-hr train ride, or bikepacking a couple days, it's substantially more pleasant in a fasted state. No bulky food to carry and you won't have a dirty bum/as much want for a bath.

For example I'll be riding the Zephyr from IL to CA (~2.3 days) at the end of the month, followed by a 60-mile bike ride from the Sacramento Valley train station, east up into the Sierra Nevada. I'll eat a few whole chickens in the days leading up to the train ride, and won't eat again until arriving at my destination in the Sierra Nevada. The train ride won't require #2 bathroom breaks fasted, and the bike ride will be 100% adipose-fueled, light, and way more fun in that state. Of course I'll be eating meals with friends in CA over the following months though.
Tangentially related, this reminded me of a documentary film on mass killings in Indonesia titled "The Act of Killing": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Act_of_Killing. It is an excellent film.

Basically it comprises interviews of gangsters who were recruited by the government to conduct mass executions of undesirable people, and the subjects describe some reasons for which the work was tasked to organized crime rather than to official government employees.

> Wood -> Coal -> Oil/Gas -> Uranium

I’m not sure how these kind of over simplified look at technological progress are useful at all (except as a fun exercise and maybe as a tech tree in a video game).

In reality this is never this simplistic, and you actually run the risk of whitewashing history or whole industries. There are still very good use cases for wood energy (and there will be for all foreseeable future) while coal energy is pretty much just legacy at this point and will probably only be used recreationally in a decade or two. Natural gas on the other hand might get a boost with on-site carbon capture technology and might actually end up cleaner [in some cases] then nuclear or renewables + batteries. You also completely skipped hydro-power which has existed longer then coal and is still on a good run.
And neither of them really knows anything, they just came up with reasonable hypotheses to explain observed behavior, figured out what to do about them, ran tests to confirm and then approved those treatments on the basis that they worked more often than not.

The 3090 heralds the return of “extreme” SKUs in the line up that was introduced with the 490 until the 690. There was no 790, but I would consider the Titan/Titan Z SKUs to have picked up that segment.
You seem very certain of your facts.

I can only say that you are probably right. But we don't know if the ocean ecosystem will collapse in that time, bringing down civilization.

The thing about collapse is that it happens terrifyingly fast, and is only sometimes predicted accurately.
Agreed, if you have to include the word torture in the descriptor of food production than there’s already an ethical problem to solve.

The Germans did use radar to detect, track, and guide forces to the targets. German night fighters had onboard radar for this, too.

What the Germans didn't have, however, was connecting the radar directly to the weapon.

I ran a data science group at a major discretionary NYC based hedge fund. We were not a traditional quant fund, but hired many software engineers.

Here is my take on what it takes: https://magis.substack.com/p/what-makes-alternative-data-sci...
Newer phones and laptops can do PD both ways. It's a weird feeling at first to charge a laptop from a mobile phone, but it works!
The rate used to be higher for solar, because it used to be the case that most solar modules were installed in small rooftop systems. Now most solar power comes from large ground level solar farms. In 2020, 68% of US solar generation came from utility-scale farms [1]. Over time the solar PV deaths-per-TWh ratio has decreased in 3 ways:

1) Ground level installations have a greatly diminished risk of dangerous falls during construction/maintenance and have come to account for more wattage than rooftop systems.

2) Installing a solar panel in a large farm instead of on a roof yields more energy output per year, since it usually has mechanical sun tracking [2] and will be oriented for optimum output even if installed with a fixed tilt.

3) Newer panels generate more annual energy output per panel, per kilogram, and per square meter. That means that the same number of full time solar installation workers now produce more energy over the system's lifetime than in the past.

The information from OurWorldInData that you linked is more up to date and therefore shows low deaths-per-TWh for solar. Probably Turing_Machine was remembering an older report like this one from 10 years ago: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2012/06/10/energys-d...

I think you misunderstand "base load". What you are talking about is likely peak load, like the problem of everyone putting on their tea kettles during football pauses. [1] In the UK they went with pumped hydro ~50 years ago to solve this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_pickup

> The base load[1] (also baseload) is the __minimum__ level of demand on an electrical grid over a span of time

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_load

It is a constant value. The rest used to be filled by peaker-plants or hydro. While slowly regulating the inflexible "base load" plants to follow the seasonal cycles.

There is nothing inherent to this definition that it must be slow inflexible plants that provide it. More interesting discussions comes from how do you provide system strength, frequency regulation and so on when you decrease the synchronous components in the grid, because those are actual hard questions.

For example, there is ongoing research in grid-forming inverters. This is what you do if you run your solar-powered home in island mode, and as anyone who has done it knows starting electrical engines sucks. It becomes a much more complex problem with destabilizing factors in continent-scale grids.

https://www.pv-magazine.com/2022/08/29/grid-forming-inverter...
Laws are non-material by definition. You can't eat or touch the law of gravity for example.

Using "caught up in a religion" or "means something different to every member" as a reason to ignore an argument is arbitrary and an a priori dismissal of potential evidence contrary to your beliefs. In other words, you are ruling out a position simply because you are prejudiced against that position.

There are laws which claim to be moral supernatural law which are written down. If these laws are what they claim to be and are truly of supernatural origin then not only do they exist, they exist in a greater capacity than laws written by human hands or instruments.

A transcendant law presupposes a transcendant author and arbiter.
Yes, but what I'm pointing out is that with a fiat currency there is always the choice to fund *both* . I actually believe that in some places there will be a net benefit to funding both Social services and policing well because of the increase in asset prices (homes and businesses) . Cities should study this effect and consider increasing taxes to create a communal positive win:win:win (for city, residents, asset holders)
Yeah for sure. Lion could well be 10x more delicious than beef for all I know, but I'm quite certain we couldn't farm millions of lions.
> High-res textures are a different thing, since they actually have to be painted.

Ah, I want to clarify again—I was imagining the developers already had higher quality original textures, which they had downscaled for release. The textures in Assassin's Creed II, for instance, have the look of images that were saved down to a lower resolution from larger originals. But I could be wrong, or even if I'm not, it might be less common nowadays.

As you say, the goal is to include things that only require computational resources at runtime (even an order of magnitude more).
Nuclear has always had massive scaling issues because leaving base load power generation means ever lower capacity factors. Running a nuclear power plant with a 40% capacity factor more than doubles the cost per kWh.

You can look at Frances ~70% average Capacity factor in 2 ways either it’s a ~30% cost premium over most of the rest of the world on every power plant. Or more realistically ~40% of generation was at the normal ~92% CF, and every plant after that was at lower capacity factors until the final power plant was costing ~3X as much per kWh.

And that’s with them having largely non nuclear countries to export power to on nights and weekends. The economics look even worse if every country try’s to scale nuclear power.

PS: I respect Frances investment in subsidizing nuclear power, but it’s important to understand the underlying economics if you want to scale nuclear power. The best option for a cheap nuclear grid is massive amounts of cheap storage.

A handful of key combinations cannot be cancelled. With the Full Screen API, the page also loses use of the ESC key, which is extremely important to Minetest's menu interface. (That's why F11 is the recommended way to go full screen)

For storage, a bare minimum Minetest world needs 1GB, grow-able to multiple gigabytes. I don't think IndexedDB is meant for that.

The network issues are specific to Firefox. Multiple threads in Minetest do network I/O. In Chrome this works fine, but on Firefox only the main thread can do I/O, and so network requests are proxied to the main thread (this is done transparently by Firefox, using a mutex internal to firefox). Unfortunately this arrangement leads to a deadlock given the particular way it is used.

Social science is far from exact enough to predict either eventuality with any confidence.

If waves of tens or hundreds of millions of refugees leaving places they cannot live in any longer begin sweeping across borders, how long will it be before fascist governments, already threatening, and already winning in Turkey, Poland, Russia, Belarus, the Philippines, Brazil, Hungary, Italy, and India take over generally and initiate wars, as they do? Such wars might not go thermonuclear, but they would certainly disrupt fragile global trade networks.

A dollar a gallon tax on gasoline would be more than enough to capture the CO2 it releases.

These costs are way below what happens when some oil producer throws a tantrum or starts a war. However, unlike wars, etc., such a tax would directly cut into oil company profits.

Even if the oceans were utterly sterilized today, with all the atmospheric implications that go with that, it would take longer than 20 years for Sweden to no longer exist.

I'm not saying that climate change won't cause huge environmental disasters and social unrest, because it will. I'm saying that "there won't be a planet left after 20 years" is extreme pessimism and unsupported by any model backed by science, even if you read that claim generously and assume "won't be a planet left" is merely hyperbole for the collapse of Swedish society.
Yes, this argument gets repeated again and again and again, and when you ask about storage you never get a decent answer. And yet, the argument keeps getting repeated even by people who matter and make the decisions. When I started watching debates in the Dutch house of representatives I pretty much lost all hope. Of the 150 members, I'd say 145 are either unable or unwilling to think quantitatively and do simple napkin math. Not just regarding energy policy but in all areas. Yet they are verbally very strong, which makes the problem even worse. I suspect it's the same in most western countries.

If you think I'm exaggerating, remember when the Royal Statistical Society asked "if you spin a coin twice, what is the probability of getting two heads?" and 47% of Conservative MPs and 77% Labour MPs got the answer wrong. Many technical people cannot even fathom this, and tend to assume that people who cannot answer such questions must be severely mentally impaired in general. That is completely wrong; you have lots of people who are near geniuses verbally but incapable of or unwilling to do quantitative thinking.
I admit I do not come from an academic computer science background. What I do bring to programming language design, however, is decades of experience in programming, compilers, and being on the front lines doing tech support on them.

In other words, the human factors facet of language design. D does very well as a friendly language from a human factors perspective.

A simple example of this is `+` is commonly used to mean both addition and concatenation, leading to confusion with awkward resolutions. D uses `+` for addition, and `~` for concatenation. It's been working great.

We also regularly correct errors in the design of D.
