A note that the datapoints you train on are part of the training objective. If you are using different data at test time than you use at training time, then you are measuring the wrong thing during training, the same as if you used a different loss function at training time.

Also -- as you say, feedback loops and non-stationarity make everything more complex, and are ubiquitous in the real world! But in machine learning we also see overfitting phenomena in systems with feedback loops -- e.g. in reinforcement learning or robotics, where the system changes depending on the agent's behavior.

https://www.di.fm/progressivepsy <= Any 24hr stream of non-vocal electronic music should do the trick, but progressive psy is basically a brain hack as far as I can tell.

I find certain kinds of electronic music entertain my lizard-brain sufficiently that I can think clearly and never get those distracting thoughts, "i wonder how my comment's doing on HN", "Have I checked the news recently"... etc.

I owe my PhD to di.fm, I use premium so I don't get ads and I'm very happy with the result.

This is actually generally how finance works though. The whole industry is built on the illusion of superior competence.

"Prestige" is a determining factor in someones ability get a job running a hedge fund/financial asset management. Generally they need to have gone to the right school, worked at the right bank, then at the right hedge fund. Each should show a good amount of tenure ( > 3-5 years ).

A major asset manager that I won't mention hires PhDs from Harvard as a way to get people to invest in their fund. Behind the scenes, away from all the quant marketing nonsense, is some guy you've never heard of making gut based trades on the market.
> Lack of docs

Are… you sure? Go has some of the best documentation. You can learn Go in one sitting with its tutorial. Not exactly sure I agree with you there.

> limited language features

This is where people lose me.
It it very counterintuitive. It is also a very common observation that has taken everybody by surprise for almost 2 decades by now. At the beginning, people were very resistant to the idea, even when every experiment confirmed it.

The catch is that you need a huge amount of data to train those.

It also seems to have limits. There has been a few well documented cases where our current huge and very well trained kind of networks got errors there were lower than the rate of mislabeling of the data.

Hydrogen is extremely easy to store underground. It is expensive to make (i.e. inefficient and capital intensive) and to move around with compressors but actually storing it if you have access to salt domes and depleted gas fields is not hard at all.

If the thesis is that electrical energy will be hyper abundant 80% of the time and deeply scarce the remaining 20% (which is the case if you use only solar and wind) and that periods of scarcity are correlated - so a "bad" day is likely to be preceded and followed by other "bad" days, then large scale hydrogen storage is quite a good match to get you through your worst week.
Go workspaces are amazing. You create a go.work file, add a line with each module you're working on, and then the Go language server handles the rest. Solutions and projects seem way more complicated, but also not entirely congruent. A Go workspace is used when you have two modules that depend on each other and you want to work on both concurrently. The two modules are still independent and could be worked on individually by pulling in the latest release of the other module.

The modules in a workspace may have entirely different ownership. For instance, let's say you're using a WebRTC library to run a selective forwarding unit as part of your video conferencing app. Maybe you notice a bug in the WebRTC library. You can check out the code for the WebRTC library and add it to your workspace so you can test your application against your local WebRTC library changes.
Was this another CEO "taking all responsibility" without any actual responsiblity/penalties? Not counting resigning.
Why do we need to know that this was made at all? Let the guy share a bit of context about his little side project (cool work btw!). Why are you so snarky today?

How much of an impact did this actually make, though, since heating was probably the majority of your emissions to begin with?

Solar may be sexy, but depending on your heat source you possibly could have done better by installing a heat pump on grid power.

This is from 2017, and if anything I think this has become more prevalent now with remote work, post-COVID burnout, and a white-hot job market. It’ll be interesting to see if it changes now that the tech labor market is finally slowing down.
Hi we're working in the professional market because the market is requesting it. The Portenta is a family made of a number of devices. I think you're referring to the Portenta X8. Obviously we favor the use of Foundries because it provides the user experience we need for a lot of our customer. The Portenta X8 is not "lockdown" you can install what you want. Customers can request a different system software and we help them run it. I think it might be possible make a generic Yocto layer available for download if there is enough request

In this methodology, without exposing the tree, how does the user select between the two branches created after the butterfly is squashed?

It seems like Google Docs does it in an intuitive way where undo / redo works normally, but there’s another time ordered history of the document to select from.

Is this what the author’s approach is advocating?

Just a list of tools that have this, in case you use any of them and didn’t know: Vim - has this with undo tree Emacs - has this as well Jetbrains - IDE’s have this with local history they show changes made. VScode has this I’m pretty sure by default otherwise there’s a plug-in for it since I remember doing it.
Also just want to add something really cool about vim and undo/redos that relates to this post. With vim your able to “block” or “bunch” your changes which allows you to control what an undo will do. For example, going into insert mode and typing a sentence than exiting insert mode would be one “bunch” and undo would undo that entire sentence. If you wanted to you can control it by leaving insert mode after a adding a single word or making a single edit and that will be what the undo will revert. Probably rambling a bit here, but the concept of controlling what will be undone/redone is a really neat feature of vim.

I feel the same way. I like the context and it adds a bit of story around this.
> 1) Nuclear power is not cost effective: Even right now, nuclear power is more expensive (LCOE) than solar or wind.

This argument is an important one, but most of the reasons that this is the case is a related problem to the ever lasting light bulb problem, they last too long. Because we're not building them they're expensive to build. Once we start building them the costs go down.

> 3) Nuclear power failed to deliver on safety promises, mainly with the Fukushima incident: If a modern, technologically competent nation like Japan can not be expected to keep their reactors running incident-free, then how are you going to convince e.g. Italians, Indians or other nationalities with significant (perceived?) government corruption/incompetence that their government can be trusted with regulating nuclear tech?!

Fukushima is the latest in scare tactics. The level of radiation released was low and the government overreacted to that danger. Further, it was built right next to the ocean which was itself right next to a major fault line running under that ocean, with backup generators that were at ground level.

> 4) Building plants is slow, extremely expensive and a huge commitment: Considering how rapidly PV/wind/batteries decrease in cost currently, committing on nuclear power right now would be economically irresponsible, and also has huge latency on acutally delivering power, unlike PV or wind, which you can basically buy off the shelve, install and hook up within the year.

See my response to point #1. Because we're not building them, we're not used to building them so they're slow to build.
Yes we do. The NSA publishes the future security standards that defense, aviation, banking, and government institute have to take into account. Once the NSA backs the technology it's generates the government push to get NIST to push a standards update for government contracts specs, which yields better security in the long run. It' silly but that's how change is implemented in government it's slow but eventually it forces adoption of better standards.

This is just false. Annual nuclear wast in the US in volume is "roughly equivalent to less than half the volume of an Olympic-sized swimming pool."

There have carbon registries that aren't for profit that have been in existence over a decade. The verification and validation is by far the lion's share of work, the rest of it is a lookup table with broad proxies for valuations.

FWIW the verification and validation requires a lot of onsite work and training of staff to be able to do the work. All the different technologies have slightly different project arrangements making it a head ache and not particularly suited for a capital light software play.

As well you will need a team of analysts to constantly try and find the information and repopulate the database.

That and I'm not sure who your target buyer would be.

I do wish you the best of luck. I assume that there will only be one or two people who will survive and I imagine they will be bought by some other company in the end.

It's very bad form (and against the rules) to make chat the focus. You will eventually get reported if you do it a lot. A short chat at the end is fine.

The session template is: brief greeting > outline what you're gonna do > wish the other person well > mute mics and get stuff done for the bulk of the session > end of session chime sounds > share how well you did (and here you can chat for 2-4 mins if both parties are keen)
A major consideration people seem to miss when discussing JIT is that it originated in a country with extremely reliable transportation. I had some chance to observe highly resilient and flexible logistical operations in Japan in the 1990s, and have since wondered just how well JIT in the USA follows that model.
Yet these days they've taken to not treating ADHD anymore. The psych(o) people will pile on to that guilt trip and make you feel like the worst person, while telling you that you should just quit your job and end your career.

People need to understand that if you have ADHD your psych, doctor, and therapist are your worst enemies. They basically operate as secret agents for the insurance companies in order to gather information to permanently remove your health care (not just mental health care, but it crosses over into traditional medicine).

Psychs and doctors are responsible for carrying out the genocidal orders of powerful elite. Just like Police officers they are shady low-lifes, with fragile egos; the fruit of their labor is almost entirely death and destruction... tread carefully.

I'm really sick of these warnings getting shot down and censored. Since covid, doctors/nurses have been untouchable with at least 40-70% of the public. This is something that effects millions (100,000s?) of Americans, but talking about it gets you branded as a dangerous crazy person... but I get how it sounds.
He means that the bureaucratic arm may take time to process your insurance claim, after all you aren't the only one waiting for your money.

> easy to have group meetings and random chats.

I don't understand this argument. How is online chat not easy? With slack, I can fire off a question to any coworker instantly. I don't have to physically relocate myself to wherever they are in the office to ask it. And they can answer when it is appropriate for them, rather then be disturbed by my incursion into their space. If it's something that requires a conversation, then we schedule time to have a video chat or instantly transition to realtime video if convenient for both of us.

And how are group meetings not easy online? Online we can see / hear each other in near real time, we can type on the same document an see each other's edits in near real time, we can draw...I mean...What are people doing during group meetings that are difficult without physical presence?
Strongly disagree. Bad zoos are depressing. Good zoos can be amazing.

Yes, popping down to the Memphis Zoo for a few hours gives me and my family great joy. The animals are not free to roam the plains, but they are free from constant predation. More importantly, Zoos can be wonderful cultural centers, animal research, preservers of at risk species, educational and environmental education, on and on. Does it really seem that weird?

HOWEVER, Memphis Zoo smells like… a zoo… and hard pass on that for a work day.

I think there's two ways people view programming: it's either a means to an end, or it's a fun pizzle trap. Personally I only care about getting the job done in the cheapest and most reliable way possible. There's lots of interesting problems when you think about the dynamics of distributed systems, improving developer velocity, etc. Trying to code golf a single method just isn't appealing to me, so I don't mind slapping together some Go and a good set of tests and calling it a day.
Rest in peace Terry. Always watch out for people that glow in the dark.

I'm waiting for Linux to be ported to Webassembly.
As for why people espouse them, I grew up in the stereotypical working class family of four. Two parents who weren't always happily married, one sister, and me in an 890 square foot 3 bed, two bath on a tiny lot. It was the largely Black and Hispanic part of a mostly white town with factories and tourist attractions. My dad never graduated college, and my sister did before my mom enrolled.

Let me tell you, the police never did a thing for me but harass me. I was sexually assaulted as a young boy, but of course nobody at the police department would take a child's word over a teenager's. I was stopped in front of my home one night by six cruisers, one officer with a shotgun out, because an off-duty officer saw me swerve within a lane to miss a couple of potholes half an hour earlier. My sister's book of checks were stolen out of our mailbox, and the police found out who did it. My sister was away at university and had her account frozen. She had to beg and borrow money until it all got fixed. But the police refused to release the identity of the thief for a civil suit because "the bank is the only victim". My car was damaged on the high school lot, but the police wouldn't even take a report because the school district should handle it. The school district refused to release the information for the other damaged car because "that would be a violation of a student's privacy". In another town in another state I had a motorcycle stolen. I raised hell with the police and DA's office. It was finally recovered, but they decided not to arrest or prosecute the thief because he returned it. He returned it with about $1200 worth of damage to a $900 street legal, licensed bike. When I went to the DA's office in person to complain, two ADAs had a conversation in front of the waiting room about "that guy with the motorcycle" who "probably let his dealer borrow it and was slow to get it back".

I had plenty of friends coerced into residential rehab for minor drug usage because it was a criminal offense. So rather than going on with their lives or getting some outpatient counseling, they lost their jobs and often their homes. I have a friend who lost a lucrative job with a huge multinational company because he had a breakdown related to his bipolar disorder while at work. He ended up couch surfing a while between jobs until he found another one.

So, yeah, call me elitist. I think money could be better spent actually helping people who need it than sneering at them and threatening them when they're already the victims.
If that is how we judge bad behavior, basically Elon Musk could block 100,000 tweets per day because he doesn't like them and it still would be statistically insignificant, and thus it wouldn't matter? Your logic is incredibly porous, but I think you know that and you don't care.
As a German working in IT I can say that German IT salaries simply cannot compare to FAANG. You get like 50k€ - 70k€, maybe 80k€. If you want more you have to become a freelancer. Managers and coaches earn (usually) more than developers so that's another point. One could say that yes, compared to other salaries in Germany, developer salaries are quite good (like top 20-30%) but they are not as good as one might maybe expect from a US perspective. As big companies get a lot of developer talent from eastern europe, I think there's more of a ceiling with German developer salaries (and that's why agile coaches often earn more than developers...), also because if you do IT for e.g. an automobile employer you're not really the profit center as such as in FAANG. So, yeah, I understand why some Germans like to go to the USA, but still, it's a good life here in Germany ;)
> how do we sustainably grow a crowd-sourcable archive for copyrighted digital artifacts?

You don't. Copyright is necessary for most people like developers to make a living. If some one like github can just rip off your code there is no market for developers, if there are no developers theres nothing for github to rip off.

The real issue with copyright law is the lifelong copyright destroys our ability to archive. Microsoft isn't making money off windows 98 there is no market for it, if I have an old game that only runs on windows 98 I am kinda shit out of luck. If some one releases a pirate copy of windows 98 because there is no legitimate market Microsoft legally has to sue them or risk losing their copyright not just for 98 but all windows.

We need to limit copy right to a reasonable length of time. Which then brings up the issue of what is a reasonable time? 10 years 20 years 2000 years? Businesses with the legal capabilities of Disney will always argue for the life of the author plus a million years and the rest of us don't really have the funds to compete.

Google tried it and they failed and they have more money than god. We need more money than god and the way to do it in this market is to make something we can copyright and then exploit that and after a life time of doing this we will have our money to start the legal battle, or at least our kids do. Will they act in the publics best interests and blow their wealth or will they act in their best interest?

>"In 1963, Feynman stated during a lecture: I believe in limited government. I believe that government should be limited in many ways, and what I am going to emphasize is only an intellectual thing.

No government has the right to decide on the truth of scientific principles, nor to prescribe in any way the character of the questions investigated.

Feynman added: Neither may a government determine the aesthetic value of artistic creations, nor limit the forms of literary or artistic expression. According to Richard Feynman, it is the duty of a government to its citizens to maintain the freedom, to let those citizens contribute to the further adventure and development of the human race."

Lay it out for me then.

There are roughly 40,000t of accessible fissile material (U235 and Pu239) on earth.

You need about 3.5t to run a GW of PWR for 6 years. This generates up to half a tonne of Pu239.

Primary energy is about 17TW. You need about 12TWe to meet this. We'll assume 5TW of heat needs can be met with a geographically isolated low head steam generator.

Assume your reactors are free and all mining capacity grows at 100% p.a. from the current ~200t of U235 that isn't in inaccessible tails per year and reactors are constructed in record times of 5 years.

Make it make sense. Provide a net zero solution for 2050.
