That was a dye simulation you linked and it shows Fukushima is miniscule compared to enough reprocessing plants to cover a country's energy over a few decades. And that even a single reprocessing plant will release a Fukushima worth of radiation every few decades if they are operating without a group like Greenpeace to hold them to account. As usual, lies and attempted misdirection.

Turns out the output in the English channel is measurable and has been measured. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S02659...

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16376698/

From just two facilities reprocessing a tiny fraction of spent fuel the amounts are measurable and have historically been high enough to cause major problems at neigible fuel output. Stellafield alone released more Cs137 into the ocean than Fukushima.

They both decreased since the 90s because Greenpeace were right and they won and better control measures were put in place. The decreased output rate per kg of MOX is still not low enough for it to be safe with mass expansion.

You are proposing the amount of nuclear derived electricity increase 20-fold. Including MOX in this would cause reprocessing to increase by several orders of magnitude.

If the total quantity from those reprocessing facilities is safe, then this is trivial to prove. Set up publicly auditable monitoring around all of their outputs.

> It absolutely is a partisan issue

There is nothing inherently partisan about disagreeing with the ideology of gender identity and its effects on law and policy.

In particular, opposition to this in the UK has been spearheaded by left-wing, grassroots feminist groups. This was in reaction to the right-wing Conservative government's proposals to allow people to change their legal sex by self-declaration, rather than the current system of requiring a diagnosis of gender dysphoria and approval from a panel of people with legal and medical qualifications.

There are 3 retired 747s on an airfield 10 miles from my house (in Surrey, southern England). It isn’t open to the general public most of the time but two weeks ago I ran a charity 10km around the runways and perimeter roads. So beautiful to see these birds up close.

If prefixed and in a thread specifically about ChatGPT (like this one), I find it to be fitting.
this made me realize one type of split in what is 'real intelligence': mean and max. chatgpt has high mean, low max relative to human. for automating the boring stuff, this is great. better at boilerplate than anyone i know.

Rather than a bonus consider bumping her hourly rate if your wife and/or you get a pay rise? We did this with a child minder a few years ago and it felt really right to share our positive financial situation with the person who was playing such an important role in our family. Although I note you're in the UK so a pay rise might not be on the cards.
Yes, that's the point. People who respond to surveys are different from people who don't. The challenge is: when you ask some question that might be correlated to responsiveness, like "how many hours per week do you work?", you basically end up with zero information about what you care about (how many hours average people work.)
For the uninitiated who might find the idea particularly daunting, looking at hex dumps is not really looking at hex (I mean it kind of is after a while but that’s not the main idea).

You have this raw binary dump of the content of something - generally memory or network flow - and tools which can help you turn the binary dump into a structured view. The issue is mapping the structures onto the dump.

That’s where magic values and known values are useful. You can find them in the middle of the apparent garbage and use them to align your decoder (or to start reading the dump - if you do it often enough it becomes very Matrix like, “blonde, brunette” but with ip packets and C structs).
The 747 is nicer from the outside, the 380 is nicer from the inside.
Agree, you essentially prototype before you have a budget. when the prtotype is approved or blessed, you get a budget, but that is the point of no return where you lose the mandate to significantly and suddenly change this concept. If you stray from it gradually though, you cannot course correct significantly if that affects budget.
Tests are one of the best technique to retain knowledge.
It's called active learning, as opposed to passive learning.

> The most annoying one, is that the app always defaults to the closest location "as the bird flies."

I've got a similar annoyance with basically every app or website that offers to find things within N miles of me. I live in Western Washington on the other side of Puget Sound from Seattle.

Say the first two options they give me for N are 10 miles and 25 miles.

10 miles is too small. I need more than that to include Bremerton, Silverdale, and Poulsbo, which are the three most likely places that I'll find whatever I'm looking for if it exists over here.

But 25 miles means the circle reaches past Puget Sound and includes Seattle, Bellevue, and even some of Redmond.

For example if I'm searching for Target stores and enter my zip code, their search lists my nearest store first, then 13 stores on the Seattle side (5 in Seattle, 2 in Bellevue, and 1 each in Lynnwood, Everett, Redmond, Renton, Tukwila, and Woodinville) before the store that is actually second closest to me as far as actually driving goes (Gig Harbor).

The words you are using are not true about modern Thinkpads sadly.

Apple's screen, lower power management, chassis, touchpad, are all dramatically superior.

The stereo on the Macbook Pro 16 inch is absolutely absurd. It's the stereo for my HOUSE.

Apple's killed supply chain that delivers more for less.

Modern Thinkpads have been ruined by the pivot to the ultrabook-esque approach.

Thinkpad's are like models.

There's simply no reason for them to be that skinny.
It's also a bit of a privacy risk to the users - if they use a publicly-known username (email address) with a very low-security password (e.g. 'password') across multiple sites, someone else could log in as them and e.g. track their activity on these sites.
Are you thinking about the 2016-2020 Mac hardware? The loud and hot machines with broken keyboards and a useless TouchBar and no IO can be described as terrible. But their recent machines? Powerful, always cold, never makes a noise, pretty good keyboard, industry-leading touch pad, decent IO? I don't think you can defend calling those machines terrible, even if you prefer ThinkPads.
Perhaps, but it’s an interesting concept (used to great effect in Errol Morris’ interview films with Robert McNamara and Donald Rumsfeld, among others), and they explain a DIY approach at the end.

In my experience, though, the set of {software development jobs that can be performed exclusively with the notions acquired in CS} is pretty much the same as the set of {boring software development}.

CS graduates tend to work on information systems, and we all know information systems are the epitome of boring software: https://thedailywtf.com/articles/programming-sucks!-or-at-le...

That's why R&D departments are full of people who learned a trade and later taught programming and software development themselves, and the bits with no business value are outsourced to consulting companies.
It's ok, but it does drastically reduce its utility. Conversely, anything that can be put into smartphone becomes much more useful. It often makes a difference between just having a tool for some odd job vs. gaining a capability.

The reason is simple: you always have your phone on you, or near you. It's the most easily accessible piece of electronics, and - if you're storage limited - the last one you're likely to leave behind. There is a generic social acceptance of everyone having a phone on them (even if stashed in a pocket).

A FLIR camera as a separate device? I'm unlikely to carry it with me unless I have a specific reason, and people will look at me weird if I walk around with one. A smartphone-attachable FLIR camera? It's still a hassle to carry, there's a good chance I'll leave one behind (comparable to a bluetooth headset). A FLIR camera built into smartphone? On me all the time, everywhere, and always ready to use in random, unpredictable situations.

And yes, it's the same reason why regular smartphone cameras all but killed the compact camera as a product. Having a tool always on you expands possible use cases so much it offsets for suboptimal performance/form factor.
Yeah, chatgpt becomes less impressive when you start asking it questions about topics you already know. You'll notice that it's often wrong, but the bigger problem is that it's always confidently wrong.

Obviously it's still extremely impressive and much better than anything I've seen before - and it might mean we're only a few years away from something flawless - but I can't trust it for now.

(In theory, though, it might be easy to solve the current problem. The bot doesn't have to be right about everything, it just has to cite its sources. "I think that Napoleon was defeated by Wellington at the battle of Borodino. For more information, see this Britannica article. Click here to report if I made a mistake.")
Probably nothing because by the time the dust is finsed settling, markedly better models will be available.

Yes, I can defend calling them terrible: they're terrible because they're ugly and the keyboards suck. The internals seem fantastic, but the outsides are awful (except the touchpads, and also the screens are reportedly excellent but I'm not sure if that qualifies as "internals" or "external").

What we need is a computer with the internals of a modern M1 Macbook, but the aesthetics and keyboard of a Thinkpad of yesteryear, plus a magnesium chassis.

1. It’s open sourced, so it goes to both. Either AirBnB sponsor the build and promote it, or the community builds it and AirBnB uses it. I’m not sure why the latter would be better than the former. It’s better for the world than companies keeping all their libraries closed source.

2. AirBnB’s backing probably gives it more reach because it’s more likely to be maintained.

3. It’s up to the OP where they spend their time. I’m guessing they’re compensated in multiple ways for their efforts.

I’m all for calling out negative behaviour by big tech when I see it, but kneejerk “big company bad” type reactions are counter-productive.
Humans are capable of expressing uncertainty; ChatGPT never does.
The odd thing is they try to sell it as a technology? Where is the innovation? It's just private payment networks moving onto one single network controlled by a central authority. No authority has had this responsibility in human history before. If this authority is abused you won't be able to put gas in your car if the authority denies it
No way! Not with Microsoft, at least!

As a researcher, I used to work on Linux and I never ever even imagined I could ask for administrator privileges.

In the industry, it's Microsoft all around. And it shows. And R&D software managers sign administrator privilege requests without batting an eyelid because they know that otherwise they are paying us for nothing.
That's because it's completely irrelevant at this level, not everything needs security baked in.

You are entitled to your opinion, but many people like how the macbooks look like. They also like the keyboard.

Ask HN: How do you implement a P2P payments system?
Hello there, I've been researching peer-to-peer payments. The technical implementation is quite perplexing. For example, consider chipper cash, which offers no-fee p2p payments. How would you go about putting this into action? I saw a video of the cofounders saying that the initial version required two wallets to send payments and that it used bitcoin rails under the hood. So I'm guessing they're using some sort of bitcoin lighting network for such cheap and fast transactions, despite the fact that they're using fiat currencies. I'd like to know how two people can transfer money to each other using a peer-to-peer model, as well as the technical details behind it.
Hi HN community,

I'm excited to announce CodePal - a new command line tool with a chat interface that helps developers write code quickly and efficiently. It is built on top of GPT-3 and ChatGPT (hidden beta), and provides a natural and intuitive way to write code using natural language.

With CodePal, you can easily create and edit code using a chat-based interface, and take advantage of the state-of-the-art natural language processing capabilities of GPT-3. CodePal is easy to use and customize to your personal coding style, and is available for installation via `npm`.

Try it out now and see how CodePal can help you write better code, faster.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback on CodePal - please let me know what you think!
> one listed modelling as a prior job

We had the near opposite experience. We were looking to hire a "Modelling and simulation developer" for Matlab. And some ladies would somehow only see the "modelling experience desired" part and ignore the other technical requirements and flood us with their portfolios of various photo shoots.

I'm sure the hiring guys hated it.
For some reason Boeing made the 777/787 slightly too wide for 9/8 abreast so of course eventually the airlines realized they could snug in another column of seats. The airbuses generally don’t have that problem because they are already quite snug in default configuration. So ironically a product less comfortable by design ended up being more comfortable.

10 abreast in a350 sounds terrible though. Might work for shorter ultra cheap charters but I very much doubt that any mainline carrier would consider it. Think they did a similar concept with 11-abreast a380 but luckily no-one caught on.
Not really. Wouldn't it be a shame if nothing could be released without thorough documentation, to avoid the need for someone, sometime, to maybe have to reverse engineer it?
