I don't see how inverting this comment would make it valid.

Users seem to like terminals already. The same users who like terminals still turn out to be averse to Emacs.

So if I invert the comment and ask, "Why do you new users who flock to Emacs won't learn the terminal ecosystem", the question would be nonsense because the fact is that new users do not flock to Emacs.

But new users do flock to terminal and still would not touch Emacs with a 10 foot pole. So my comment makes sense only in one direction.
I think there are three major reasons why japan is doing this:

- technological. There are new, safety-focused designs that japan is going to relaunch their nuclear program with. They're enough to satisfy the japanese regulators

- geopolitical. Don't want to rely on russian fuel sources, don't want to fight against china for the end of a very long supply chain to get middle east petro.

- crony. Honda and toyota made long term plans to ignore EV in favor of hydrogen, hydrogen battery economy is basically nonsensical unless you have nuclear power plants churning out the stuff as demand bleedoff.
I wrote a short story about losing your software engineering job to an AI
The Republican party in the united states is so anti-green energy, they removed solar panels from the white house in the 80s, shortly after they were installed, just because they didn't like them. They also blamed wind turbines for the extreme grid failure in Texas last year, and it is a current talking point that "wind and solar can't ever work" and that wind turbines kill so many birds that we can't possibly ever use them large scale. They have pitched a fit any time the government attempts to hand a small subsidy out for green energy.

Meanwhile the Democrats have wonderful Manchin, who stops you from doing ANYTHING to help the country unless you include some stupid kickback to like five coal barons in west virginia, despite the entire coal industry employing fewer people than plenty of industries we don't give handouts to. Coal is dying a perfectly reasonable death because it's just not cost competitive with anything, even though we ignore the most expensive part of it, the pollution. Despite that, west virginia keeps a stranglehold on the nations energy policy because 60k absurdly entitled adults are convinced that what their daddy did for a job that killed him in his 60s should be a career forever with no changes and they shouldn't have to adapt in any way to the modern world that DOESN'T want to poison them. When hilary clinton said the country would pay for them to learn new skills and get new careers, they responded by pretty heavily voting for the guy that said they could just go back to digging dirty rocks out of the ground. The entire state is somehow (it's propaganda, literally, from local coal companies) convinced that the modern world is impossible without coal, as if it is still the 1800s, ignoring that most of the world hates coal, always hated using coal, and has always switched to less grimy fuel sources as soon as it became cost competitive, which it is.

And don't give me any of this "wah wah don't bring partisan politics into this" because green energy policy is 100% partisan, with no reason, in the united states, and ignoring that, or trying to "both sides same" this issue is simply delusional.

IMO, the US federal government should drop a trillion dollars on a federal run solar power company, who's only mandate is to buy as much damn solar generation as possible, and sell it to local consumers as cheaply as possible, and "but it might be cloudy some days" problems should be solved by buying 10x as much solar as "needed".
It's bizarre that you think this would work, and more so that it would work universally for every language.
TSMC does have the better fabs, and will continue to for the foreseeable future. The best coverage of this is by Asianometry's youtube channel.

There will be higher order effects, there always are. I don't think the second order you brought up above changes the argument either. If investing in a certain industrial sector is desirable, then why not sell gas at the international market price, and use the extra proceeds to do the investment at the level that makes sense. That way you can at least tune the investment to a level that makes sense, rather than having it depend on the delta between the local and global market price which will depend on a ton of other factors.

Note that I'm not saying that's always bad to protect a local market. The assertion was that North America has enough gas causing it to be isolated from the global market pricing, and I'm still very skeptical about that claim.

Street photography?

The commute is long enough that you could make some pictures, edit some pictures (maybe the same ones, maybe not, maybe a mix), and share them online.

OK, street photography might not be your thing, but how about drawing or painting?

Or making music with a portable electronic instrument or even a tablet, laptop or phone?

What I am getting at is spending your time making something and/or developing a skill and/or doing something active rather than consuming. Even a portable gaming device might be a positive experience.

Or perhaps writing? Wallace Stevens wrote poetry while commuting to his day job.

Good luck.
totally totally agree. they were great. my traveler was the same age as your le tour, worked great until stolen from a bike rack by the campus police in a noob mistake, and sold at auction, in 1996 or so, in a big ten campus. i later saw it, totally beat up, locked at the engineering library. (like i alluded to above)

i saved up and bought a titanium litespeed and it's fantastic (for me anyway). i think Lynskey is also great (they're the family that started litespeed, which they spun off to an american investor group, so basically bifurcated with two tennessee-made names for the same group of engineers.

I went through the process and then hit the paywall... "you must pay first before you can generate the book."

Maybe show a short preview page/chapter for free, based on the real character and prompt? Hard to pay for something when you have no idea what you're getting, or the quality of it.

Other than that, the process was pretty straightforward and simple! Minor quibble: Maybe make the form fields clearer, like what they influence (is the title important?), and which are optional or vs required. The gender/age/hair color etc. had dark grey backgrounds for me and I wasn't sure what that meant.

So I addition to hail we can now add “a stiff breeze” to the list of things that can destroy your solar array. You can’t just lay a thin film on a surface and expect it to stay there. I’d expect better from a materials scientist. If this makes it to commercialization, it will be laminated onto hard surfaces, not simply rolled out on “any surface”.

> A very simple distribution solution therefore is to stop privileging capital gains and tax all income equally. But of course this has been considered and hasn’t gained traction.

There's one substantive and one political issue that are important; the substantive issues is that in an annual progressive income tax system, there are real fairness issues with taxing the outcome of multiyear processes as current-year income at full (whether nominal or, using inflation indexed basis value, real gains). [0]

The political one is that the vrry rich havr predominantly capital gains, and progressive tax with reduced capital gains tax rates is how the capitalist class maintains “the rich pay higher income taxes” as a propaganda point while actually paying lower taxes.

[0] there are fairly straightforward solutions for this, which make irregular income from sources already subject to normal income tax more fair, but they add a little more complication to the overall solution.

You are onto something with the proximity to power thing. A lot of understanding of the world unlocked for me once I started peeling apart wealth & power, how wealth /= power, and how power is the more important end (vs wealth). For example, if anything, someone with a lot of wealth has likely been selling away a lot of power in order to acquire the wealth.

>It also is a field where it confers that wealth and status without Having to Know Someone

I wouldn't have thought this. What in your view are those fields?

FCS and RTMP: Streaming Technologies from the Future
If you had read the article I wrote I started it by explaining that I divested of all crypto holdings in 2021. Even with those (very) positive returns I can't look away from what I've experienced and seen in the space.

My change in thinking comes from five years very deep in this and realizing:

1. It's been five years waiting and we've yet to see any meaningful adoption. Bitcoiners (as one example) still post videos on social media of them doing Lightning transactions at some random one-off retail location like it's worthy of a post... The pro-crypto/blockchain community is like a cult following a doomsday preacher that keeps predicting dates for the apocalypse that come and go - only to believe yet another future date. If after a decade it's still a big deal to buy a sandwich with crypto it's really time to reconsider your position. If after a decade you're still celebrating things like a Visa press release of some blockchain research project it's really time to reconsider your position. Wouldn't we all laugh at someone getting excited to send an e-mail, shop online, or have $CORP setup a website in 2000?

2. Living blockchain and crypto everyday for five years has only served to reinforce and demonstrate first hand the attitude you see on HN - even with the incredible amount of time and resources thrown at the space it's still nowhere near ready for prime-time. I've written plenty of comments describing the horror that is even the most fundamental layers - node implementations, etc. See point #1 - I've been waiting for it to grow up and as a rational person I can't keep falling for lofty promises that never materialize. HN (for the most part) thinks the tech sucks because it does.

3. Being active in the space has only exposed me directly to the incredible sleaziness that is crypto and blockchain. I've had founders of large and well-known startups show up to meetings obviously high on drugs, saying things like "I'm just trying to get made, paid, and laid" repeatedly. I've had meetings with large blue chip VC firms active in crypto that essentially describe the position of SBF - "We're in the ponzi business and it's going well". My latest startup is an anti-fraud solution for blockchain and I've been repeatedly told things like "Why would we want this? We make our money on fraud." Needless to say details of SBF unfolding - drug usage, criminality, etc are not surprising to me in the least. HN (for the most part) thinks crypto and blockchain is a cesspool of bad actors because it is.

Five years ago I was convinced blockchain was the next big thing - akin to the internet/web. After five years of these personal experiences, all of the available data on adoption, headlines of people in crypto getting indicted, faking their own deaths, rugpulling, exchanges collapsing, Defi and wallets getting hacked left and right, failed project after failed project, dealing with people I want nothing to do with, etc, etc I see it for what it obviously is - even though I've personally come out ahead financially (largely due to timing and luck).

How much of your personal self-interest/stake is driving your position on all of this?

Metronome diet.

I play professionally and still use the metronome every single day. I tell students if I can, they can too. Some may see it as a crutch that prevents one from developing an internal pulse. I disagree; but maybe it’s a fake it ‘til you make it circumstance.

If you set the metronome to accent the downbeat, it is difficult to allow yourself the luxury of stopping and restarting on errors.

The most frequent issue though is starting the learning process faster than you can consciously process the music. When a student asks me about the correct tempo, my answer is always the same: it’s the tempo of perfection. If you play a piece no faster than you can play it perfectly, most things take care of themselves.

My company can anonymize production data while preserving the utility of the data. You get privacy-safe data that looks just like production data with the same distributions. It's real data.

By the way, I find it confusing that the article states that finance and consulting is the result of poorly chosen majors. That's the kind of thinking you apply to kids who picked Jazz Theory and then realized that La La Land is nearly pure Hollywood fantasy (the ending anyways).

Those business/biz-econ/business admin/econ classrooms are filled with kids who have no delusion about what they're getting themselves into it. They're in it for the money and a shot at being hired by the big shot names on Wall Street. They're either passionate about the money, or they just want a stable life with money.

And the entire undergrad experience of those two fields of study do a pretty swell job of weeding kids out. Business Frats, Clubs, Societies -- the emphasis on networking and internships. Like, the classroom experience might be less rigorous compared to your average pre-med student but make no mistake getting a job on Wall Street requires a lot of work. Just a very different kind of work.

It is also the only high status step outside of medicine and law. Or claiming fame via Hollywood (in which nepotism runs rampant) or Athletics (in which your ability to gain status is almost entirely decided by whether or not you were born a genetic outlier). The first two require a lot more schooling and particular academic talent. The last two are basically moonshots and the road to fame littered with failed attempts.

So finance it is.
This is extremely misleading. The death rates among evacuees was not significantly different from the death rates among the general population in the same time frame. Dig into the stated causes of deaths and it's usually vague things like "exhaustion".

Out of 300k people 1,400 died over the span of 6 months [1]. Assume everyone lives to 100 and a uniform age distribution (both of these are actually generous: life expectancy is lower and age distribution skewed older in Japan), and 1500 people dying in 6 months is exactly on the mark for old age deaths. Even more telling, actually try and click on the link to the primary source in Mainichi Shimbun and it 404s.

Even YouTube is now starting to enable (and subtly push) more text and picture content alongside video.

All of the feature copying between major platforms and wall raising may increasingly trap attention within different platforms.
The straight style is more common in US home kitchens; the Y-shaped style seems to be more common in Europe. In the US there has been a trend of chefs and food writers evangelizing the Y-shaped peeler.

In my experience the straight style is more ergonomic for carrots and parsnips whereas the Y-peeler works better for potatoes, citrus, and other roughly spheroidal foods.

(I also use my [very sharp] Y-peeler for shaving hard cheeses into flakes so sure, I guess it is a cheese slicer too :) )
