> Nothing will be cheaper ( decrease in price )

I strongly recommend you review the definition of deflation.

> Higher inflation means our debt is 'worth' less

Inflation is a huge benefit to the debtor class, which includes most homeowners. The rhetorical tactic of focusing on high gas prices brilliantly misdirects people from asking the relevant question of why their wages aren't increasing at the same rate as inflation. Once wages catch up to this recent bout of inflation (they eventually will), most consumers will be much better off than if the inflation had never happened.

Just like 'quiet quitting' is an incorrect term that misrepresents what it describes, this 'quiet promotion' also misrepresents; both seem to play down their effects. That's the problem with trying to come up with soundbites.

What would you do differently to solve the problem?
Easing Deployment Without Containers
Which, once again introduces a perverse incentive to produce a high local value contribution that hurts the long term good, over a lower present value contribution that promotes a better long term result.

Any metric you set for comparing contributions, no matter how good you think it is, WILL produce a cobra effect.

This is because metrics are a model, which by definition can't capture the entirety of reality, and so any attempt to enforce based on that model is doomed to failure.

How much would you value a maintenance task? Or a process change? A better air conditioning system? Game night to let off steam and improve morale? How do you calculate what its long term worth is from the productivity change in order to assign a present value to that contributor? How can you even know what kind of an effect it will have long term? You'd need a pretty damn sophisticated model, and even then it would still only be a model, missing many points of the reality hurtling towards you at the speed of light.

And meanwhile, the little things that improve long term prospects simply aren't done, because the metric doesn't value them. Thus, metrics, even NPV, cash, bars of gold, are bad policy enforcement vehicles.
> Would that mean that you wouldn't need titium to start with?

Tritium decays in a decade. To start, you'd need the expensive stuff harvested from the heavy water of spent fuel pools. After that, you'd let your neutrons breed it in lithium (or boron, if you're fancy).
A better question to ask yourself is if this isn't any different, why are the entire scientific community, the Lawrence Livermore lab, the DOE, and others so excited about it?

If these are the same thing, why didn't they make a big deal about it before? What's the material difference?
Yea very curious as well would need to dig a little deeper. If it's the beam energy it means we need more efficient lasers or to scale larger to overcome the energy losses from making a laser beam.

Still even if it's just the beam we are at an energy positive which is still great news because it mean the fundamentals are working.

Still other issues though, the biggest in my opinion are an effective way to produce Tritium and energy extraction.
"Several categories" is a bit hyperbole - it's raytracing. It's really just raytracing.

You're getting identical rasterization performance at a lower cost.

Now, that cost is still obscenely expensive and the 7900 XT (non X) is also terribly priced for the performance. So I'm not defending that.

But I also don't use raytracing personally because in the current generations it just costs too much. I don't want to degrade and noise my image with DLSS/XESS/FSR/whatever just to get raytracing. So raytracing performance is low on my priorities.
The Q needs to be something like 500 to 1000, not because of energy breakeven, but to produce enough energy that the shot is financially positive. The amount of fusion energy produced in this shot is worth a penny or two.

(And even then, it's dubious a laser fusion scheme will be competitive with other energy sources.)

Oops, answered my own question I guess:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_fusion_weapon

That ain't good. Although fusion is clearly the future of energy, we have to get our sh*t together on earth so we don't kill ourselves off or devolve with endless wars. Or give up and use fusion to leave the planet efficiently.
I would also wonder if Titium is that expensive... and it generates titium... would that be part of the "break even" equation? Creating something rare to sell?
More importantly, as I remind my mentees, it's is an excellent signal for true interest. Nothing burns more than getting your hopes up and investing hours/days into a job interview process only to find out you were not the preferred candidate. This stings a bit if you don't get the job, becomes seriously annoying when it surfaces during compensation negotiation, and can be disastrous for your career and personal life if it surfaces post-hiring.

> They recently got rid of recurring subscriptions because they said they didn't want to store any PII.

as much as this may be a noble goal, as a user i want to have the option of a recurring subscription, especially if i pay monthly (which i prefer to, unless i'm really committed to a service or the yearly subscription is cheap enough that i'm sure i won't regret it). if it's just one or two services doing this it's not a huge deal, but imagine getting emails from tens of different services each month to renew, especially if you have to log in and enter your credit/debit card details on each one separately. is there a reason they can't simply store a token from stripe/paypal/etc, or is that still considered PII?
New Zealand is not a liberal democracy. It restricts freedom of information. New Zealand has banned over 1,300 books, and restricted access to another 728. The country also bans certain video games, and even the second Human Centipede film. New Zealand also blocks its citizens from opening TCP connections to certain IP addresses, as they deem the sites so dangerous that visiting them for any reason (even research) could be harmful to society.

Somehow other countries do fine without these restrictions.

Oh dear - so it begins.
I don't think what you've said counters the idea that money needs to move hands and be exchanged. That's the root idea of inflation under a consumer based economy. Like I said, it is similarly bad when people (or large corporations) pool money and are not spending it. It is true for any type of actor, that we'd want to encourage them to spend the majority of their wealth and save very little (for the median person a retirement savings would be inconsequential and that money is just delayed anyways, so wouldn't affect the system much. Especially since it is staggered).
Should it be none of them?
Ok, but yes it would still be cool if any of these devices, whatever you want to call them, could be plugged in somewhere and act as a server.

So then you concede completely, that anyone talking about these devices, would indeed be correct to say that it is cool to turn these devices into servers.

Great, you agree that there is a usecases for this.

Canada innovates quite a bit. American companies just keep buying the Canadian ones who do so before they get big. The whole Canadian tech sector is like an incubator for the USA in some ways.

Although… the government invests almost nothing in starting new Canadian companies too, and instead focuses on luring American companies to open offices here, or else on giving money to existing medium and large Canadian businesses to convince them to increase hiring. This is a pet peeve of mine. It’s very short sighted

TikTok does exist in China. It is called Douyin. The reason that they have a separate service domestically is most likely not the addictiveness of it. From the introduction section of Wikipedia's article on TikTok:

TikTok and Douyin have almost the same user interface but no access to each other's content. Their servers are each based in the market where the respective app is available.[11] The two products are similar, but their features are not identical. Douyin includes an in-video search feature that can search by people's faces for more videos of them and other features such as buying, booking hotels and making geo-tagged reviews.[12]

Yes, but then the last algorithm runs in the same time as the one before it. Using xor here really only gives you a constant factor improvement (which is still nice!).

Reminds me of the problem “find the only missing number in a scrambled list of 1..n”. You can get an “O(n)” solution using xor, but once bit size becomes a concern, there are less hacky solutions that are just as fast.

I'm a tea drinker (green Chinese types like Zhen Mei are mainly my thing) and occasionaly also consume Yerba Mate. Rather than saturating a high amount of the dried plant with hot water and drinking it with a traditional silver straw like people do in South America, I just prepare a normal infusion like one does with tea, with a metal straining net infuser leaving it for four minutes. It's easier on the stomach this way. It's also good in combination with lemongrass.

>. Fission is still by far the most expensive power source even with massive subsides and is only even close to economically viable as base load power backed up with peaking power plants.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/748580/electricity-cost-...

Seems Solar is the most expensive, and by a large margin?

It looks like nuclear is cheaper vs almost all "renewables"?

There is a nuclear power plant ~10KM from me that set world records:

- On October 7, 1994, Pickering Unit 7 set the world record for continuous runtime at 894 days, a record that stood for 22 years.

Can you provide the number of days that "WIND" or "Solar" have provided continuous power for?

That complexity and expense is because you are building machines which can run for 894 days NON-STOP. (CANDU plants can be refuelled while operating)

Diesel locomotives are expensive, a lot of this is attributed to the engine designed to run at high-output for an extended amount of time.
Not sure we've ever had a supply shock quite like this one? The OPEC/energy crisis played a big role in the 70s, but that doesn't seem nearly as broad as the last two years...
One thing that's improved my log analysis is learning awk (well actually Perl but I think 95 % of what I do with Perl I could also do with just awk). Often the most useful way to look at logs is statistically, and awk can quickly let you aggregate things like time-between-statements, counts, rates, state transition probabilities, etc for arbitrary patterns.
This a commercially viable power source ain't.
It then follows that you don't want a dystopian state to control the discourse of your citizens.

Personally, I'd say this point is the biggest factor to why Silicon Valley style innovation is rare here:

> For better or worse, here in Europe we are fond of business plans that somehow make sense. Blue sky “let’s launch this and I’m sure we’ll eventually find sufficient rent seeking or surveillance possibilities to one day make money” things don’t fly too well here.

As someone who once looked for investment in London, going to VCs and asking for money for consumer facing, million to one businesses aimed at 'revolutionising' the world will get the same reaction as having 3 heads. They do not have an interest in going for crazy moonshots at all, and are very unwilling to just give millions of dollars in funding to a startup in the hopes it could become the next Google or Facebook.

What they are willing to back on the other hand are 'boring' SaaS businesses usually aimed at the B2B market. Some sort of business inventory system or tax management one is more their speed/style, and something they'll probably back with tens of thousands of pounds instead.

So anyone who wants to make a world changing business or product will probably go to the US, or lose out to US based companies that can afford to pay millions in software engineer salaries and perks and marketing.

Of course, that's not to say the other factors aren't issues. People are very skeptical of those that go solo and try to setup their own business in Europe, especially if it doesn't involve some 'well known' field like a trade or retail establishment. And I guess there's probably a bit more ruthlessness in the states too, likely in part due to 'traditional' jobs not offering as much of a future as crazy moonshots.

But it's the funding that's generally to blame. VCs are way more conservative in Europe, and seem terrified of backing ambitious consumer focused businesses and products in the same way they are in the states.

Strange. One HN thread US users whining about not being able to transfer their own currency to others without either multi-hour delays or costs. Whereas in the EU we're able to transfer funds near-instantaneously using our bank's smartphone apps.

I don't see why not. Requirements are to inject the fuel (in pellet form) and ignite it with a laser pulse. Right now I believe the pellet is contained in an hohlraum that is held in place in order to perform the test but you could drop (or shoot) that assembly into the chamber and time the laser pulse to hit it when it's in the right location. That doesn't sound like it's beyond the realm of physical possibility.

There was simply a false assumption about how dangerous radiation was. Some of this still persists to this day.

A nuclear reactor that had the same radiation as a coal plant would not be legal? How does this make any sense at all?

The Safety standards were actually put at to high a level to early, specially given how instantly save nuclear was.

Consider this, how safe were coal plants? Would nuclear instead of coal have saved 100000s of lives since then? Yes of course nuclear would have, even if you had an accident once in a while.

The problem is that there was 0 tolerance for nuclear accident, because of populist nonsense, but if coal plant and supply chain killed 5 people here 10 people and 1000s of people get sick, nobody cares.

So the reality is, that nuclear went uneconomical because nuclear and existing power production (mostly coal, later gas) were no treated the same in terms of their safety requirements.

> When you are building a power plant which has the capability of making a significant portion of your country permanently incompatible with human life

That's not actually what happens. 3 Mile Island or Fukushima didn't even remotely come close to what you describe. And even for Chernobyl this is questionable statement. And Chernobyl was a type of reactor not built in the West, so in the West something that bad simply can't happen with PWRs.
"TikTok is digital fentanyl that’s addicting Americans, collecting troves of their data, and censoring their news."

Is the conclusion that all forms of digital fentanyl should be banned or just Chinese ones? Because the reality is there's nothing too exceptional about TikTok's underlying algorithms.

It’s not really any less of a dollar than any other dollar is. All of our digital dollars are just bank liabilities. Circle and Tether are just banks with dollar liabilities. Their liabilities can be transferred on crypto networks rather than traditional bank wires.
