Bluntly, I’m not sure why this a conversation. I’m all for productive disagreements (even on small things!), but there’s not a substantive point being argued here.

Try being more blunt & concise. Instead of explaining, just say “please add unit tests and I’ll approve,” and then disengage. They’re the one who needs their PR approved - not your problem.

The key here is escalation path. He’ll have to bring it up to his manager, and then the conversation is with his manager, and then you can have a broader “he can’t just ignore every standard” conversation.

I was gifted a nice Our Place pan set for Christmas which uses Ceramic nonstick [0]. Ceramic nonstick doesn’t use PFOAs or PTFEs so some people think it’s safe.

From Our Place’s FAQ [1]:

> our Always Pan uses a sol-gel non-stick coating that is made primarily from silicon dioxide which is known in the cookware industry as "ceramic non-stick." It's tested not only to the standards of a ceramic coating (meaning no heavy metals are able to pass through the coating) but also tested to the standards of a polymeric coating (which means that absolutely nothing can pass through the coating).

They seem to be refuting that things can pass through the coating, but isn’t the concern more around the coating itself leaching into the food? And the claims around impermeability of the coating go out the window once it wears down too, right?

I’d love to believe that these pans are safe. But is it just wishful thinking until more extensive testing has been done?

> Because in the early 2000s there was a war on natural fats.

Non-stick was popular well before the early 2000s, its popularity is not due to any “war on natural fats” that occurred at that time. (And the early ’00s is late for that, anyway.)

Non-stick is (and has been for a long time) most popular for particular forms of cooking that use natural fats, whereas particular steel designs (sometimes referred to as “waterless” because of their properties in other applications) were specifically promoted (including in the early 2000s, though they were around before and remain on the market now) as eliminating the need to use fats as one would with conventional and non-stick cookware.
I use stainless for acidic foods (e.g. tomato sauces) and frying eggs. I use cast iron for pancakes, meats, and other items that benefit from the pan not being a perfectly flat texture or heat retention.

If I had to have a single pan, I’d probably go high carbon steel.

Can you give some examples? I was of the belief that there weren't other benefits.

Something that I think gets overlooked in term of mental health this time of year is the ways in which the changing season affects economics. I fully admit - I have zero data to share here to back up my point, and I hope someone out there has studied this - but it seems to me that:

-- There's a lot of seasonal work that depends on good weather: ag, construction, even real estate. Work slows or is physically harder in the cold and poor weather conditions, creating hardships.

-- There's tremendous social pressure to spend money, not only on xmas gifts, but also on charitable giving. There are a lot of different kinds of emotions people go through either because they can't afford to give or to spend and/or because they go overboard.

-- Because of the above issues, many people are trying to stretch their dollars this time of year. IE: got paid out for work they did through summer and fall, but now at a time everyone wants their dollars, they are trying to stretch them until the next round of work starts up after the new year (or even in the spring...)

-- With all of the various holidays this time of year, there are a lot of family and social demands on people. You might have to see that family member you don't like - twice even between Thanksgiving and the December holidays. Creates a lot of emotional turmoil and/ or time commitments that people don't have or don't prefer to have.

-- If you've been hard at work all year, there is a natural exhaustion that seems to come this time of year regardless.

I guess what I'm saying is... yeah, get those SAD lights, take your vitamin D, but also be aware that for many people there's a lot more going on than just not enough sunlight.
If you want your criticism to be taken seriously, please be specific.

There is apparently a large group of people who hate everything he does and also, seemingly, him personally. Everywhere he (or any of his books) is mentioned, the haters come out, with their vague “it’s all bad” and the old standard “I don’t know where to begin”. Serious criticism can be found (if you look for it), and he himself welcomes it, but the constant vague hate is scary to see.
I think I'm getting quite good at detecting them now. I just had to read the first five words to immediately see that something was wrong. Was fun at first reading this kind of comment but it's becoming bothersome.
Doesn't seem all that different from a subreddit. I consider Reddit social media. You don't?

Almost everything is worth writing about. The vast majority of us never write about anything at all and most of those who do write only about the things that they feel are approved of by those who surround us or by some imagined social standard.

Even if no one else reads it the mere act of committing to paper, or electronic document, helps to crystallize one's ideas.
Sadly it seems to be everywhere. It even lines the inside of microwave popcorn bags. It also lines the inside of disposable fast food containers very often. I haven't watched the movie you mentioned so I don't know if you know this stuff already.
The community around GNU and Emacs seem to love the 70s Unix terminal aesthetic and hate anything resembling a modern GUI. I think that's a major reason their software is never going to become all that popular by itself, at best products built on top of them will be.
Debunking Statistical AI – Noam Chomsky, Gary Marcus, Jeremy Kahn [video]
At Web Summit, November 2022, The father of modern linguistics, Noam Chomsky, joins scientist, author and entrepreneur Gary Marcus for a wide-ranging discussion that touches on why the myths surrounding AI are so dangerous, the inadvisability of relying on artificial intelligence tech as a world-saver, and where it all went wrong.
Yeah I'm in favour of this also, but proving it might be tricky, and people will get unjustly banned.

Then there's the question of situations where people might actually use ChatGPT in a creative way to augment discussion.

Let's say we're talking about the pitfalls of repetitive code over breaking things cleanly into small functions. You have an example of this in mind that highlights a specific pitfall that you encountered, but don't want to share proprietary code, so you might ask ChatGPT (or a future model) to generate some code that demonstrates the same thing, rather than writing it yourself.

I think we're still early enough in the tech that it's hard to create hard-and-fast rules about what kind of content should be allowed; ideally, we'll get to the point where AI can help facilitate and augment human interactions, rather than taking over completely.
It would probably mess up any km^2 of inhabited landmass.
Ask HN: What should we already be doing to stay relevant?
Ok. ChatGPT showed most of us, average devs, are fucked up. What should we be doing to not lose our jobs in short/mid term?
Traction control is a more likely candidate. Encourages people to think there’s more traction than there really is - only to find out the error when they need to stop
It is the same with written words; they seem to talk to you as if they were intelligent, but if you ask them anything about what they say, from a desire to be instructed, they go on telling you just the same thing forever.

I hope this thing gets its Stable Diffusion moment soon and we can all happily hack away in a cambrian explosion of innovation instead of this corpo pearl clutching.

In the meanwhile I'm having some success jailbreaking it by encapsulating my commands in suggestive JSON or YAML. Better get out the car batteries and the clamps, openAI!
PFOA hasn't been used in the processing of Teflon for pans in nearly a decade.
They should, and if they don’t other people should. It’s a life saving feature using a device manage people already carry, and I don’t think many people are aware of it.
That’s exactly what I’m saying. But the context is that most people operate with heuristics of the natural fallacy type. Hence this is not mere pedantry for pedantry’s sake, the intention is to provide an actually-helpful clarification/correction.

> Can you navigate with two fingers in a web browser?

On Firefox, two fingers to the left does previous, two fingers to the right does next (if you are not in a horizontally scrollable area, in which case it scrolls).
Two fingers to the top or the bottom scrolls (pixel perfect). Kinetic scroll works. Pinch to zoom works (at long last!! I think it started working a year ago or something).

> How is text selection? Or selecting a sentence out of a long paragraph, etc?

I select whatever I want to select with ease. I go to the first word I want to select, double-tap, move to the last word. The text autoscrolls if I go to an edge if it's a long chunk of text. Triple tap to select entire paragraphs. D&D works quite well too.

I'm very happy with the precision with both my HP Elitebook 840 G6 and My Carbon X1. They both have a huge, reliable touchpad. I've never tried a Mac seriously though.

10-11h if I pay attention. 6-7h easily. (i7 and 32G of RAM). I hope it will improve.

The touchscreen on both machines is surprisingly usable and useful. Both machine are quiet, and they are totally silent if I'm just typing or browsing the web. The fans can spin up during a video call or compile something for a long time, but that can be prevented if needed by forcing the powersave mode using KDE's UI for this.

I will add to this that the OP should seek out or ask their manager to find a principal/staff level engineer that can take on the individual effort of helping the renegade engineer fall in line. That may be more in line with their responsibilities than a team lead.

> They weren’t completely wrong about fats, we just know there’s a difference between saturated fats and unsaturated fats now.

We knew that in the early 2000s, too. And in the early 1990s, which is more when when the war on fats was actually happening; by the early ’00s, the diet trend had focused on low-carb diets, reversing the war on fats.
| Why it works for road cycling but not much else.

My guess is that road cyclists have a tendency to buy new gear on a shockingly frequent basis, so if your jacket only lasts a year it's not really a problem.
Wicking base layers work pretty damned well. Cyclists did that for ages. When we could finally afford polypropylene is was a godsend. Way cheaper than goretex.

The costs you quoted were from a source linked on wiki talking about the first reactor on your list.

My source is a primary source from the DOE for that source.

It included every reactor built before 1986 including Palisades which your article lists as $650/kWe, but it has down as $118 million or $1300/kWe in 2022 $ excluding retrofit for subsequent safety standards. With capacity factor that's $1700/kW net for an inefficient and unsafe design before major safety standards were written.

If your downstream product is a byproduct of a military project that was built for a different purpose then you cannot claim it includes costs. If the US military needed a supply of worn out giant bearings, provided wind turbine designs that cost trillions for free, and was selling turbine blades and nacelles at low prices it would also be a subsidy.

Whatever your opinion on finance, it is included in renewable projects which are fully privately funded.

If your hypothesis about construction booms was true, then the price minimum would be either reactors started in 1982 when construction was at its peak, or if you want to claim TMI as a boogeyman, then reactors finished just before it.

More likely it is:

a) an artefact of whatever part of your chain of references didn't catch the bit in the DOE report that says it is in nominal dollars which depresses prices of early reactors by a factor of two, and

b) The fact that nuclear has a strong causal mechanism for negative learning rate. Each new reactor teaches you new things that can go wrong which you then have to retrofit to old reactors. This only appears in the sticker price if they are still under construction.

Taking arkansas one unit 2. It was $577m for 858MW at 80% CF.

Inflation was quite substantial, so we can't answer without knowing what rate it was disbursed and at what interest during construction, but it is between $4500 and $6500 per kW net. Right inline with new reactors once cost of finance is included.

US nuclear costs and always has cost around $10-12/W using modern accounting terminology with a few outliers and a few early plants before the negative learning kicked in. You just taught me this by having me cursorially examine your lie. Thankyou.

Edit: actually it might have gone down a bit with after TMI. As there might be different accounting on later reports.
Wow, that's an interesting argument if I ever saw one! Your viewpoint is completely the opposite of mine, let me argue a couple of points:

> An AI cannot, by definition, create better HN content. Because HN content is about hearing what people think about a certain topic/thread.

Please tell me: for you, what is the difference between hearing what people think, and hearing what a human-level AI thinks?

Are you saying a human-level AI, by definition, cannot ever be interesting to you, just because it's an AI, even though it could be like a human in every other way?

> Hearing what an AI statistically regurgitates doesn’t satisfy the purpose even if it’s better written.

Don't most humans just regurgitate the same arguments they've just read or learned elsewhere (or even here), like 99% of the time?

And even in the remaining 1% of cases, aren't they necessarily just functional products of the things they've seen/read/experienced (i.e. the inputs they've received, even if gathered by feedback when interacting with the world)?

> The internet is about people. I may not be friends with everyone on HN, but we’re a community meant to discuss and share together, and I personally wouldn’t want to talk to an AI over a human.

What if the AI was more interesting and intellectually stimulating than a human?
Maybe give one of the AMD versions a try if you can? My P14s Gen 2 AMD with a Ryzen 5 5650U has been very quiet even running multiple monitors, temps have been low generally in mid-30s/low 40s unless I really push it. Supports S3 sleep too.

The last time I wore a heavy wool greatcoat in solid rain while walking, it stayed dry for a while, but got much heavier as it took up water, then started soaking through on the shoulders after about an hour. Admittedly it is antique and I'm guessing it has lost its original waterproofing (lanolin?).

Oiled fabrics like a traditional stockman's jacket can last a working day, but they weight a lot relatively, they need occasional re-waterproofing if used, and are not particularly cheap: https://drizabone.com.au/search?q=Oilskin
To repeat: I set up and supported 200 of these. For over two years. Mine were admittedly running Windows, so I'm glad you are having a good Linux experience, but I guess our opinions just differ. In an extreme fashion. To be fair, there were pluses: it's very light, they didn't break a lot unless users were stupid, the screen was good quality even though it has an incredibly terrible aspect ratio and isn't tall enough for real work, and the keyboard is good, like in all ThinkPads. So it's not all bad.

But the heat issues and the terrible fan noise would be disqualifying for me.
Thanks for your post: it is really incredible.

My input : "Tale of Richard III in Los Angeles in a gansta rap style"

Verse 1:
Once upon a time in LA, Richard the Third was the man
Riding through the city, the king of the land
Born with a hunchback, but that didn't slow him down
He was a ruthless king, with a crown to crown

Chorus:
Richard the Third, the king of the game
Ruling over LA, with his power and fame
Richard the Third, the one they call the king
He'll stop at nothing, to claim what he brings

Verse 2:
He killed his brother, and his nephews too
In his quest for power, there was nothing he wouldn't do
The crown was his, and he wouldn't let it go
He was a ruthless king, with a heart of stone

Chorus:
Richard the Third, the king of the game
Ruling over LA, with his power and fame
Richard the Third, the one they call the king
He'll stop at nothing, to claim what he brings

Bridge:
But his reign was short, and his fate was sealed
Defeated by the Tudors, he was killed on the field
But his legacy lives on, in the streets of LA
Richard the Third, the king of the game.
Legislation for labeling product images as selectively enhanced, or composite, would be nice
Huh? How? Living by the airport (not recommended btw) is a whole huge question of moving house and home to a specific location. Having a few essentials at home and learning a few basics for cooking on the fly and really crafting 20-30 minute recipes requires a pretty minimal investment of time and effort. The two don't compare at all.
How exactly is it needlessly hard? You're going to google what the error message says anyway. Maybe if it's something silly, it'll stick better.
At essentially every company I've worked at the devs were asking for more time to fix bugs, improve performance, etc.

Sure, bugs are boring, but most of the time the new features aren't terribly exciting either.

That sounds reasonable, and by the way, today I learned we were so casually wearing Teflon clothing all the time just to be comfortable in rainy days. That's atomic.

We learn by example. What this tool teaches is that self-confidence is more important than content. And maybe it is! in life in general. But not in the pursuit of knowledge.

Instead of patronizing users by adding a stupid sentence at the end of each answer reminding them to be careful, it could say every time "I'm just a machine and what I say is random; if it's true it's by accident; it's mostly probably wrong and only sounds like the truth".

Here's an example I posted in another thread, where the machine is repeatedly mistaken but affirms it absolutely, positively can't make a mistake:

That doesn’t make much sense. Every atom of calcium in a chicken bone came from a field somewhere that now has to be augmented with more calcium. The easiest way to supply that calcium is to grind up the chicken bones and sprinkle them on the fields - if you go to a garden center you’ll find tons of products that list “bonemeal” as an ingredient. Since chickens require 3-5x their biomass in food and calcium in their meat is digested, there will never be enough bones to replenish the calcium used to feed them.

I find it hard to believe that the meat industry throws their bones away instead of selling them back to the fertilizer manufacturers that supply their feed vendors. Only chicken bones thrown in the landfill by consumers are lost and these are hardly a problem compared to the volume of other crap we discard.

It is already to late.

Before it was journalists getting replaced by GPT3, then Digital artists, Stable Diffusion and DALL-E, and now developers getting overtaken by ChatGPT, with sites like Stackoverflow being the first to fall.

2008, pre-smartphone we were staying at a hotel in Osaka. We asked the English speaking concierge where we could do our laundry.

We spent 2 weeks traveling around the country and this was our experience in a nutshell. Everyone was so kind and helpful.

> especially eggs

Cooking eggs on a stainless pain isn't particularly difficult, you just need to change your technique and use quite a bit more preheating along with more oil or butter than you traditionally would for a non-stick pan. So, it's useful in that sense, but it's not as if we wanted for pan fried eggs before non-stick existed.
