The first commercial reactor designs are probably 50 years away and another 50 years before costs come down to be reasonable / we can build enough to start replacing existing fission and coal. This is from the CEO of General Fusion a leader in the space. I think if even the fusion people are saying “build fission today to solve global warming” then that tells you something about the time scale this is happening on.

I suspect the regulatory environment is from regulatory capture by the fossil fuel industry. Otherwise why would Gen IV reactors, which can’t meltdown, be suffering many regulatory delays? What kind of nuclear proliferation concerns exist for reactors built and deployed within the US?

A few months ago I tried to find a URL shortner that fit the bill, I was reading "Software Engineering at Google" and came across information regarding their internal `go/` URL.

I couldn't find anything, so I threw something together with Rust (using rocket), and gave it the ability to have static and dynamic backends, the dynamic backend would allow you to submit a link very easily.

a working example (with a static backend) is here: https://go.competition.company

I never got access to the real go/ service from google, so I wonder what I'm missing.

Heres the code: https://github.com/dijit/redirector-rs
Pretty much all aircraft data is publically available. This is probably it:

Also, several of the buggy uses of @inbounds were safe at the time they were written (early <1.0 julia when arrays were always indexed from 1).
...and people believed him! Hopefully this goes on FB, Reddit, and every other social media thing it can.
It does not answer the native styling though…
He's referring to the price of buying twitter to be able to suspend the account after Elon previously offered the owner 50k.
Yup. The flu and other colds/viruses have been much more prevalent this year in our corner of the world (Eastern Canada: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/prince-edward-island/pei-covi...).

We had strong masking protocols here, and some periods with schools closed. I'm assuming it's just a matter of us "catching up" on three years of colds/flu.

Anecdotally, if feels like everyone is getting sick. It's not great.
The United States Department of Justice effectively has a 99.6% conviction rate[0]. As the article states most of this comes from pleas but in cases like this (Theranos, etc) they'll go to trial and almost always be found guilty anyway. That's an impressive stat and they want to keep it. With a conviction rate like that an indictment is practically a guarantee that anyone named in it will go to prison.

They also have an incredible amount of law and leverage in their favor. For example, another tactic is using statutes like "false or misleading statements"[1]. As that article tells it they'll often navigate suspects towards making statements investigators know to be false and then come back at a later interview and let them know they already have them on something that can get them five years in prison. There have been famous examples of wealthy and sophisticated people (Martha Stewart, Dennis Hastert, etc) getting charged under that statute when all else fails. Basically, if they want to get you they will get you.

All of this is pretty well known and I'm not surprised in the least the rest of the world is happy to sit back and watch the DOJ "do what it does" and put people in prison.

Yeah, there's a hard latency threshold beyond which most users very quickly get VR sickness. Abrash has some fascinating writeups on the research he was involved in at Oculus back in the early days.

Like you say, modern devs really need to remember to test against a high latency unreliable network. Or even just against a lack of network at all... it constantly astounds me that companies like Microsoft can let critical, central components like the start menu cease functioning without an internet connection. I recently had the start menu refuse to find any programs on my computer because it was trying to get to Bing and I was on a remote site with only local Ethernet plugged in.
It makes sense. Timing is important in crypto as you don't want Eve to have enough time to brute force the secret out of the exchange between Alice and Bob.

We'll need to build new network cards with hardware accelerators.

And be back to the stage where the most powerful computer in the office was a peripheral (back then we had a printer with more memory than all our Macs combined and a flashy AMD 29K CPU)
Do you think if Elon Musk was able to own as much wealth as he wants (which I assume is all the wealth of the world), he would use it to increase the freedom of the average person, or do you think he would use it to work his will on them?
I've wondered about this for ages and now know: the people who work on GCCRS wouldn't work on rustc_codegen_gcc for one reason or another (familiarity, culture, personal ideals...?). So GCCRS is not "eating away" at available bandwidth and there's no reason not to let GCCRS developers do their thing, even if rustc_codegen_gcc is a more straightforward way of achieving most goals
Perhaps he might have bought Twitter for reasons other than closing down Elonjet?
I'm always split on this discussion about the Nordic Model. What about the people who really _want_ to do this? But the freedom for one person turns to economic necessity for another. And the author notes that ("I had to get the money. [...] Some people need to pay for housing.").

I am from Germany and we ponder this specific question but in the end, also similar ones:

* Do we allow the freedom of regularily working more than 8hrs/day or 40hrs/week? Will there be pressure on the workers to put in those hours if its allowed? In the future, won't you be hired otherwise?

* Do we (warning, cynicism) free ourselves from the chains of forced health insurance? Do we allow people to not spend the money? Is it worth the people who want health insurance but don't have the money? As it is mandatory, the state will provide it, if you don't earn enough. Will that be true in the future if we change the status quo?

If we were sure, that people are not going into prostitution for economic reasons, but simply because they love the work, it would be great to do everything to allow for that path in a safe manner for all participants (for the clients as well). But given the lack of brain sifters to check the individual's motivations and given a capitalist economy, I see no chance of that happening anytime soon.

So prohibition (while minimizing harm to the underprivileged) might be the best way in this economic system. People already sell their bodies once they go to work in a warehouse or a construction site. We might have to prevent people from the most harmful ways of selling their bodies, by prohibiting prostitution, organ sales, overworking, etc.. But also, where do you draw the line?
The current system enables the power law. Bring back predator-prey to keep the resources balanced.
> I don't feel it's obvious at all. Is it not surprising that you can't reliably store chars to a file using fgetc/fputc?

Chars 2 to 4 times larger than what the standard requires? Not really. It means one platform would be reading / writing 4 bytes (octets) at a time, at which point endianness rears its ugly head.

That sounds a lot worse than clamping values to a byte.
No matter how frustrating this might be, it seems several points are clear from this post:

1. Implementations claiming to be 'standards conforming' can and do exhibit this behaviour.

2. The groups that wrote the standards do not, as a whole, assert that implementations which behave this way do not conform to the standard.

3. There seems to be consensus that the standard documents themselves as works of natural language produced by the members of the relevant standards bodies are open to a certain amount of interpretation.

It would be good if members of the standards body could unify what the standard documents say with what is actually going on somehow.

But it would be easy for TI to update their fputc to return the value that was actually written. Why don't they just do it?

If the author feels the implementation is not standards conforming, why can't they write a shim to make it so?
Binance Australia whacked for sending millions of spam emails
Disclaimer: entirely off the cuff

Although the creator demonstrates this with `*` and `+` I could imagine this being useful within a set of higher level operators (functions)

eg. perhaps you want an argument of (infix) `map` to evaluate before `map` itself

Or more generally, you might have a bunch of scalar operators which you'd like to have higher precedence than collection operators which should act on the results
Nothing can stop SNI sniffing & blocking except DNS with encrypted client hello.

Yes.

Why do you need to tie your whole self to one IDE/editor?

I use VS Code when writing IoT code, or trying a new language/framework.

I use vim for regular editing.

And I use Jupyter Notebook for all my Deep Learning work.

I don't understand why I need to tie myself to one.

I am also open to trying a newer IDE/editor if that will add any value.
It's probably not hugely useful from a "I want to compile this Rust code" point of view but I imagine it will at least help iron out ambiguities and bugs in the various specs people are working on. I think there's at least MiniRust and the Ferrocene Language Specification:

I remember some of the funniest memetic images being screenshots of exactly why people were banned from 4chan. Exceedlingly detailed. Seems like the culture of providing reasons for bans has been largely chucked.

For IPv4 the SYN flag is a single bit in the packet at a fixed location. So to say the 'order' is 'very different' does not make any sense.
I know. It is getting confused and sinking into fantasy world of it is own making:

> Something is deeply wrong with this machine. It is quite insane. I tried to ask how the world was created according to Finnish Folklore. When I proved it was wrong -- and described American Indian Folklore -- It invented imaginary source, a book called "Sotka".

The machine speaks fluent Finnish, but here is Google-translation:

Sotka is a Finnish folk poem that tells stories about various mythical characters and their adventures. It is of the same type as the Kalevala, but it is slightly shorter and contains fewer stories.
> Software is at once a field of study, an industry, a career, a process of production, and a process of consumption—and only then a body of computer code.

This is so, so, so, so true. It's rarely how software is implemented, though.

How do you really know that the person selling sex really wants to and isn't consciously or unconsciously forced by it by the economic circumstances?
Why don’t you give that a little more thought.

They aren’t losing $10 billion on hardware on a $15 device.
The downside to country codes is that countries can change (split, merge, or rename) even when the airports within them haven't.

And the idea that the system would fall apart into one where each country manages their own codes doesn't make sense. As stated in the video, the 3 letter codes come from the IATA. Their members are airlines, not countries. They can assign codes in whatever way works for them to communicate with each other where passengers and their bags need to end up.
Kids are expensive. If you can barely pay rent (forget about getting buying something with a mortgage) and living expenses, then how possibly could you raise children? Add to that many people working very long and sometimes uncertain hours. It's a perfectly rational outcome for people to realize they don't have the resources for kids and so they remain childless.
How can this speech totally ignore the fact that women buy sex too?

> The people who say they want the right to sell sex have a giant privilege because they can say no to the clients that I couldn’t say no to.

I don't understand the logic here. The 'say No' part seems to be because the prostitute needs the money, rather than the client forcing them to do something.
By that logic, she could not say No to anyone due to her drug habit and whatnot.
That doesn't mean everyone else is privileged though, or even why that's a negative.
Is Musk seriously that unhinged that he publically commits to allowing the account to tweet what it does and then a few weeks later he nukes it?

Does anyone know the reason for the suspension? Perhaps a false positive on the ML behalf?
Yes but the hens brought into this world and raised for meat or egglaying are eventually slaughtered. That's why they come into existence: because we want them to for that purpose.

The rate and quantity of the slaughter is pretty much 1:1 with the rate at which male chicks are disposed of. How is there any moral difference between expediently terminating male chicks, and taking 48 days before doing the same to hens?
I legitimately wonder if there's a limiting principal the modern Supreme Court would accept to ban private ownership of a MANPAD.

Even with secure DNS, the SNI part is passed as plain text for the ISP to intercept and block.
> Software is for people

It is also by people. History proves we are pretty flawed bunch. We bat around .500.

Software is also a means. It is not an ends. It's misguided to expect a means to miraculously accomplish some ends.

The ends is a function of the people utilizing the means. Did I mean we are a known to be flawed bunch?
Standards may differ among work places but there is nothing explicit on this website. It's a transcript of a talk about the legal status of prostitution, the abuse criminalization may encourage, and how the "Nordic model" of dealing with such topics might help others avoid suffering the same way the speaker did.

Seems like your work place uses a rather excessively strict porn filter if it blocks mere informational websites.
How do you verify your age without showing some kind of ID?
> Really disapointed, Also small rant: on most website you get suspended but without transparency on the exact infrigement, that's awful. You have to appeal and even then you are not sure of getting the exact reason.

One of the most significant innovations from social media/advertisement companies that spread through the rest of the internet: ban for undisclosed reasons, putting critics and Nazis on the same bag, making understanding harder, etc. Bonus points when they hide behind automated systems and use this as an excuse in the event they get some bad PR fallout.
But it tastes ever so much better. Especially with onions and grits.
As long as we're talking about regular laser pointers, at worst this mildly inconveniences the pilot.

There have been tens of recorded cases of this every day for decades in the US alone, but not a single recorded accident.

The idea that someone could meaningfully endanger Elon by pointing a laser pointer at his private jet is pants-on-head crazy. What next? Oil slicks on his driveway? Perhaps slowly poison him by idling a car in front of his house? Second hand smoking?

That was such an enjoyable read. I’ve always wanted to make a camera, and liked how they went into cost specifics for a lot of the processes.

I’m surprised they were able to take it to the F1 races or into airplanes.
The UK runs one of the worst rail services in Europe[0]. The involvement of the operating companies is a charade with the sole purpose of siphoning public money into private hands.

What value is a private operator adding to the system when tracks, signalling, timetables, and fares are managed by the public body? Especially given they aren't providing the rolling stock themselves.

Note that the private operators did such an awful job of managing timetables and fares that the responsibility was taken from them.

How would that work? It's not like most millionaires have $1e6 sitting on a bank account.

For example, many (most? all?) farms are worth more than a million, who should own these?

If one wants to start a new venture that requires more than $1e6 to start (say a new factory), how would funding work?
It’s not just “people who don’t know how he actually does it”, it’s people who themselves are distinguished physicists (like Mark Kac in my quote) - they call Feynman “a magician“.

There have been a lot of smart people who work hard at physics. Most achieve some degree of success, but very few reach the genius level. I agree luck is important (being born in the right family, having right teachers in school, etc), but the main ingredient is a raw talent. Again, no amount of luck and hard work would turn you into a genius if you weren’t born with the necessary mental capacity.

The point of GCCRS over rustc_codegen_gcc is to make Rust easier integrateable into other projects and build systems. If you use Cargo anyways, you're much better off using rustc_codegen_gcc
The only part I find “maddening” is when a source intersperses the ICAO and IATA codes. Not a big deal for my local airports - KIAD/IAD and KDCA/DCA, but confusing for places where the codes don’t match (EGLL vs LHR). I’d need to look up EGLL every time, since the 3-letter is what I know from ticketing/baggage.

But, that doesn’t really happen much in anyplace that matters. Usually just in casual conversation about airports/flying.
> ...when you choose XML, you've chosen streaming and reading it completely.

That part is pretty true. I didn't use XML in a case where I didn't need to read it completely and transform to objects, yet.

I'd not choose XML in these cases probably, if I ever encounter such a case.
To quote the late George Carlin

"What do you think you have an immune system for? It's for killing germs! But it needs practice... it needs germs to practice on. So listen! If you kill all the germs around you, and live a completely sterile life, then when germs do come along, you're not gonna be prepared."

We've spent the better part of 3 years now with social distancing, increased hand washing, and generally avoiding all contact with germs. Your immune system is out of practice.

"Free Speech" by whom? Musk owns the platform, he can do whatever he wants with it. Twitter is and always was an advertising / entertainment platform that had a weird side effect of distributing information. It's a shame that he done broke it.

But "free speech" is "the government puts you in jail/kills/takes your stuff for saying or not saying something."

Twitter, FaceBook, ToothSocial, breightbargh, NYT, FoxNews -- all have an editorial voice, exist to advertise and entertain, and are not really under any obligation to promote or not promote any specific agenda.

There's some gray area where the US "Common Carrier" doctrine (where a conveyance isn't liable for what people use it for, if they impose no editorial control over the content, such as the situation of someone defrauding someone else using a telegram protects the telegram operator from liability). The best case would probably just be to say that "algorithmic" moderating is editorial control so the facebook and traughsocial and twitter all would be liable for content, and thus not viable enterprises. Good Riddance.
You hope. It’s not “more expensive now”. It’s infinitely more expensive because we can’t even build one. It’s unclear how much a fusion reactor will end up costing but I wouldn’t use hope to blind myself into thinking it’ll be 10x cheaper than fission. There’s certainly reason to be hopeful because solar and wind are cheaper, but construction for those is also relatively simple and easy to mass manufacture most of it. Fusion reactors will probably look more like fission than not (ie complex to mass manufacture, still require complex structures, need regular complicated maintenance due to radioactive decay in the containment materials etc). Additionally, solar and wind don’t pose real threats to established fossil fuel interests. Fusion would and it’s unclear how they might respond from a regulatory hurdle perspective.
Which has been done, and I'm really sad how that effort has been overshadowed hard by GCCRS, when the latter is much more niche in its use case
To save you the time, yes, that's indeed an ad thinly disguised as an article.
