You will not see lower prices because the true costs of nuclear are hidden in centuries to come and not included in the costs shown today. Nobody presents the actual cost of nuclear because nobody knows. Estimating costs even decades in the future is impossible, let alone centuries.

EDF had 50 bn euros in debt and also needs to spend unknown bns more to fix aging plants.

This means that nuclear power in France has operated with an average of at least 1 billion euros in losses per year for as long as it has existed. The costs per kWh for French nuclear power have never been correct, since they have obviously not covered the actual costs.

You are correct in that the taxpayers pay for nuclear, and this is on top of and in addition to what they directly pay for the electricity. What they pay for the actual electricity is way too little to cover the costs of nuclear.

The rest of the costs are hidden in general taxes. Everybody pays for nuclear in France, and they will pay for as long as they live and as long as their children live and so on for generations.

The same is true for coal and oil etc of course. We have no idea how much it actually cost humanity to release fossil carbon into the atmosphere, but it's pretty clear by now that it was much more expensive in reality than what we paid when it happened.

This is what I want for watching NHL games. Imagine having a dozen camera views on demand. Of course, knowing how greedy all these companies are, I’m sure if they ever do it they’ll charge per camera view or something stupid that’ll make it cost prohibitive to the average person. I’ll end up sitting behind a pillar in VR. Lol.
By your logic, my promise to pay them back is what creates the cash? As someone upthread said, the BoE wrote a report on this: https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/quarterly-bulletin/2014/q1/m...

you can do 3rd person cams in VR too. they seem to work fine. they play much like regular non VR games but with some added depth.

The passion is still there but it's fading away. My plan now is to keep in tech but switch business to something more creative like video game dev or animation engineer or something.

The reason I want to switch is because things are "too healthy" right now, I start work at 9/10 finish at 18/19 (lunch hour doesn't count as work here) and then I just leave without a care in the world. I care enough for the business to do my work right, but that's about it.

I want to switch to something that makes me want to stay at work late with the rest of the team. Yeah I know, crazy, but right now it's just so boring that I want to completely switch it around.

Although I'm probably gonna get a pay cut if I switch, the creative industry probably doesn't pay as much as ecommerce. But we'll see.

Replicating copyrighted code from the training set only happens 1% of the time, it's the exception not the rule. And when it happens it's usually because the same text appears multiple times in the training set. So it will memorize boilerplate and popular code snippets, not unique stuff. Even a replicated piece of code 100 lines long is no big deal in my opinion, unless it contains some kind of unique thing never seen before, like an optimized matrix multiplication function. Certainly not FizzBuzz.

On the practical side, it is actually easy to filter out sequences of words that are too similar to the training set from the output of the model. You just generate another snippet until it is "original" enough.
I mean, if you look at amount of "paying users" vs "all users" it still checks out, just that at the economies of scale of Linux even 0.01% funding it is a ton of money.

FOSS is great for doing "common good" code that everyone uses and many sides want to push forward, but not exactly easy to monetize if you're just a dev doing a thing.
Given the rather arbitrary nature of ‘10x’ I’m not sure this kind of precision is relevant here
This is one area thats very clear to me. You should search for not purpose but Meaning. Purpose is subset of the things that give meaning to life. Purpose is goal with meaning and is more action oriented. "man's search for meaning" by victor frankl is very good read in this area.

One should search for meaning and happiness will come as a by product. This is better than being hedonistic and searching for happiness.

There are 2 meanings implicit and third one you can persue.
1) Search for meaning is meaningful itself.

2) Human life has intrinsic meaning. I dont agree with nihilism that life has no meaning. Life has no 'given' meaning - correct. But since we are conscious, there is a living being going through experiences, there is intrinsic meanining to human life. Consciousness gives meaning to everything. In absense of consciouness, nothing has meaning. This intrinsic meaning is irrespective of life success. Even for a complete failure, since a real living being went through this life, the life still has meanining.

3) External meaning. This is related to success happiness relationships helping others etc. This is a bit fragile, since if you lose these things then you lose meaning. And if you are not successful, life might feel meaningless.

A healthy life is a balance of persuing external meaning and accepting and giving value to internal meaning.

note - This way of thinking is not happiness vs meaning. happiness is one of the things that gives meaning to human life.
A hypothetical question: imagine a filmmaker, who had studied a lot of obviously copyrighted movies by famous renowned directors. This means he has trained his neural network using their copyrighted licensed content. Does he breach copyright when he composes and films a scene? Are visual quotes copyright theft? Homages? Did George Lucas infringe copyright when he was borrowing compositions from "Triumph of the will"?

Yes, I’d be one too. I have no legal opinions about this, but morally, Copilot just doesn’t hit me right. One of the purpose open source exist is for it to be, well, open. It’s so annoying seeing this tool Specifically use only open source code and then have the audacity to close source + paywall access to it.

I used to be a little more agreeable with Copilot with training money and all, but seeing Stable Diffusion is willing to open up hundreds of thousands in training, and more in engineering, and therefore create an active community dedicated to improving it everyday, I just can’t help but be so annoyed when one of the world’s biggest tech companies pulls such petty move.

The specifics don't matter so much as the general idea that if a human can do it (anything), then why can't the human make a tool that can do it from them, thus saving them the work.
That statement is dangerous. ToS often gets thrown out in business to consumer transactions where the business has a significantly better negotiation position (legal counsel,…) It’s a consumer protection mechanism. In business to business interactions, the chance of getting a ToS thrown out is much lower since it’s assumed that the playing field is much more level.
Nordpool energy prices perhaps?
Right, thanks for correcting my faulty memory on the timing.

It is possible that IBM tried to squeeze Apple, but given that IBM's interest in Transitive was for enterprise server migration, I suspect it is more likely that Apple got tired of paying whatever small royalty they'd contracted for with Transitive, and decided enough people had fully migrated to native x86 apps that they wouldn't alienate too many customers.

To add to this, start a family because you want to nurture and care for a family - not just to 'have' one.

Children are not trophies or status symbols - they need care, love and attention, as well as independence and respect, to flourish.

If you have a family, their wellbeing and future should be your purpose.
but it's not just control by the owners. also domination by the majority of users. the question is, how can you avoid that if you want a global conversation?

hackernews is pretty US dominated to in userbase and selected topics. even without the influence of skewed moderation. and like australia, most of what's discussed on hackernews includes american politics.

sometimes i feel pretty sheepish when i comment on some topic starting with "yes, but in europe..."

fortunately hackernews readers are pretty open to other viewpoints, but still american values and ideas are quite strong.
It will never make gaming in current form obsolete. Not in 50 years. Just for the fact that you need to put something on your face..

Maybe some people will use a VR set instead of a Wii U for activity / family games but thats it.

What VR is doing is it makes some genre of games a lot more attractive: Sim-racing and flight-sims. The cockpit games in VR are really immersive. Combine it with some good hardware (rig, stick, wheel, etc) and you feel like you're really in the car or plane.
It’s a horrific story and should be a cautionary tale for anyone doing contract work. A lot can be said but a few things come to mind:

1) To call this Marty character shit would be an insult to shit. Mick made the mistake of considering him to be an honest individual who can be reasoned with. It’s disgusting that Marty’s employer hasn’t fired him so hard that he goes into orbit.

2) Mick should have a ruthless business manager interfacing to clients and handling contracts and payments.
Nice to see some alternatives for docker for mac. If you want to keep it simple, simply running a vm (on your device or remotely) and let the docker client talk to it via ssh. I used qemu for this a while ago as it seems is podman.

All you need to do for this is set the DOCKER_HOST variable. It gets slightly tricky with e.g. volume mounts of course. But otherwise this works fine. Including with docker-compose. The only other thing you need to do is some port forwarding from the vm; which you can do with ssh as well.

Podman, Colina, and other tools are essentially just nicer versions of this with a bit more features.

Mark Zuckerberg Picks Wild Billionaire Metaverse Fantasy over 11,000 Jobs
Frankly I don't get purpose of this article. Guy wrote some software with clear expectation of money and released it for free. Fine - bad pick of distribution model - it happens.

Then he writes article, stating that you shouldn't be ashamed to ask for money. To whom it's directed? All OSS developers? Including developers of electron (one of his dependencies), which then has tens or hundreds of packages in its dependency tree? What would happen to his browser if they all wanted dollar/month for use?

If you want to code for money - do paid product. That's OK. No reason to build philosophy around being entitled to payment because you have github stars.
Yes, the term itself is a bit confusing. However, it's an official term in the industry :')
Cypress has the cy.wait() for precisely letting cypress catch up, or am I missing something here?

I really really like the cy.intercept() for intercepting and modifying requests.
Cause vs correlation perhaps.

People with a purpose have less decisions to make on their own - their purpose directs them - and therefore they have less stress, and more happiness.

It's why many people are drawn to religion - it removes some responsibility and decision, and focuses life.
IMHO there are two ends about "social media"

On one end, everything is about identity. People build the portfolio, there's influencers, celebs, career networking etc. Everything is about the "character", as described in Karl Popper's World 2.

On the other end, everything is about interest. I don't care if a developer is a Trump supporter as long as his code is open and politics-free. I want to "like" a picture of the beautiful natural world shared on IG regardless of OP's sexual orientation. Everything is about "ideas", as described in Karl Popper's World 3.

In the past these two ends are mix and merged in one "social media world", now it seems that these two worlds are disengaging from each other. For platform owners, you have to choose only one. Choose wisely.

It works extremely fast on an iPad Pro M1 (kind of expected, but it's _impressive_) although the app is built as "iPhone only", and strangely enough the iPad is cropping the upscaled iPhone app so the lower bar of image controls don't show at all, which is a pity
Only if they use it irresponsibly.

A certificate tightly controlled by a three letter agency and used for spot interceptions on specific targets is very unlikely to be found.

Massive interception are likely to be detected nowadays, but the lone political opponent is still far from safe from them.
> I've been harping for years to anyone who would listen, Open Source is not a business model [0].

It's not a business model that usually works, but when it does, it's beautiful: you get to work on what you want, on your own terms and building something truly useful. You become a (tech) god, and you being paid for it. Respect and money. Isn't that what many of us dream about? That's the reason many people try to build something "cool" and publish it on GitHub... to see if they win the lottery. I have definitely tried, but perhaps I know beforehand that I have a 99.999% chance of failing.

The first name that came to your mind was Torvalds - hardly a random.
I recall (in a European country) a brief time window around then when you indeed could a get an unlimited plan rather cheaply. There were no restriction on tethering either so you could get unlimited data on your laptop. Considering how low GPRS/EDGE bandwidth was (and that only a very limited number of people probably did this) the operators probably didn't mind, they added caps pretty soon after '3G' came out.
Is there a similar app available for laptops (whatever an OS, Mac is Okay)?
The ToS do give GitHub an indemnity against the consequences of that scenario - so if the actual copyright holder complains about copilot spitting out their code without proper attribution and license, they could indeed transfer to the liability to the uploader. (That scenario could apply to GPL and MIT code, too, not just AGPL.)
Money quote:

> "This is a cartoon super-villain of an app," said Gennie Gebhart, the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s advocacy director. "The biggest red flag is the number of permissions required, which is unnecessary for the operation of the app and suggests they are trying to surveil attendees."
I see this argument over and over again, and it is so flawed that it is hard to bear.

There is no equal sign between a person and a program.

There is also that thing called "scale" that is critical to the interpretation of the action.

Perhaps it's not as universally worthwhile as it seems. It requires length of attention and preference to coincide, and though anecdotally, I know it doesn't for some people - like myself.

I tried TikTok in my usual manner and attitude towards social media; I would doom scroll as fast as I could, allotting longer time for patterns I don't recognize, shorter for what I already understood, tangential to preference and couple seconds at most. The feed or whatever it's called became monotonous, lacking in diversity, devoid of content, even those that I would be presented with in other platforms as trending on TikTok. And I deleted the app.

YouTube isn't as terrible, though not ideal(perhaps my overuse of ad blocking is playing a role with it).
i don't know... i've been on the fence for starting a small semi-public mastodon server for over 2 years now but the finances didn't make sense and i am not flooded with cash to throw at the problem so its just been in "ideation stage".
anyway, i want to do that,
These exoduses 9 times out of 10 only create some insular single topic community. For people who want to participate in an echo chamber.

Anyone who thinks Mastodon has any hope of being the next Twitter is delusional. It is the next Parler/Rumble.
I think they're being overly optimistic here. This will only keep up if musky boi truly sinks twitter, but if all he does is kicks out the "trendsetting"(lmao) "moderation" and actually enforce their own TOS I think twitter will be just fine

It should be possible for browsers to flat out reject any certificate that isn’t in the transparency logs. Not too sure if they do that currently but I can’t see why they couldn’t.
> To whom it’s directed?

It is directed towards a person who would write some software with clear expectation of money and release it for free.

It is directed towards himself.
> that are being laid off from multiple tech companies?

*social media companies. I think the technology sector is doing ok and the ongoing digitalisation of old-economy sectors creates more tech jobs there.
