Nuclear is very bad at ramping all of the way off, but NuScale's reactors can go from full power to 25% of output power in 1 hour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h--FAVoAQvk&t=59s

Nuclear power is used as base load because of economics, not physics or regulations. France's nuclear fleet is used for load-following. See "Load-following with PWR nuclear plants" in https://www.world-nuclear.org/information-library/country-pr.... (SMRs are easier to use for load-following, since you enable and disable reactors, as opposed to using the "grey control rods" mentioned in the linked article.)
I think there’s a pretty wide delta between tracking that is against App Store rules and tracking that would be controversial when written up on the Twitterific/Tweetbot blogs.
And tautologies will persist in being tautologies.

Higher prices will result in investment in increased production, shift of demand to lower-priced alternatives, and investment in alternatives. Increased investment results in cheaper and larger production of everything.

Unobtainable lithium is a strange choice of hill to die on.
I've generally had bad experiences with third party recruiters so I try to avoid them when I can. in your position I'd probably be upfront and mention the ranges you are OK with in the different situations.
Again we're talking about 6,000 GWh of grid storage for just one country. And that's also competing with batteries for EVs, and batteries for electronics. That site estimate's for storage necessity are also pretty optimistic. Most estimates for a completely decarbonized grid - not using peaker gas plants - call for weeks of storage not days: https://pv-magazine-usa.com/2018/03/01/12-hours-energy-stora...

When do any of those programs ask you for your password? I've never had any of them ask for my Unix password, ever. Is that just a macOS thing with self-updaters?
The rate of terrorist attacks in America, regardless of perpetrators' country of origin, is the relevant metric when evaluating the value of American anti-terror watchlists. Extend this to international flights to or from America if you like, it makes no difference. Any sort of terrorism is exceptionally rare. If somebody were to say that terrorism doesn't exist at all, they'd be closer to the truth than fiction.
Ted was never meaningfully on the run. The place they found him was the same place with his name on it in the county assessor's office.
I work at Microsoft and I have many peers upset about this. By the time they realized they needed layoffs it was probably too late to get their money back on the concert anyways.
Depending on font. Inside my web browser, it appears to be looking up. On my web browser's title bar (so rendered by my window manager...), it appears to be looking down, or maybe straight forward. Fonts make a big difference on interpretation too.

I remember a few years back, there was a problem where Apple implemented "GRINNING FACE" in such a way that Apple users interpreted it as a sarcasm indicator, but most others would look just like a standard smiling face, leading to quite a number of awkward exchanges when non-Apple users would read things such as "Yes, let's burn it all down :)" instead of "Yes, let's burn it all down :|"
The Windows Internals series needs to be a must read for users moving from Unix style systems to the NT world. Microsoft may have questionable UI designers and GUI product people, but the systemland is solid. Their old guard like Cutler are all experts in their field. They may not be as famous in the media as Torvalds but their work speaks for themselves.
It might be an emoji-font thing. Might be easier to tell what's up in some than others. I know I've seen emoji I sent from Apple devices on Android phones and been all "LOL WTF that's not what I sent at all" so that is sometimes a factor.

Anyway, this is one reason why I prefer images and anigifs for expressing emotion in chats.

Unless they have radically pivoted, databricks is just managed Spark, plus supporting features.

By supporting features, I mean things like their storage functionality (data lake, delta lake, etc) and other libs + tooling.

Why not an HTTP server with a directory index?

FTP is a pretty clunky protocol: it's round-trip heavy, not friendly to NAT on the client-side when you don't use PASV, not friendly to firewalls on the server-side when you do. I'm not sure what benefits there are to it these days.
> We'll need a century to provision just 18 hours of battery storage at current rates.

That's a weird way of spelling enough batteries were produced in 2022 alone (about 760GWh) to replace the entire world's nuclear fleet with a renewable mix with minimal overprovision, more flexibility to meet peak demand and a lower forced outage rate.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-26355-z

> Renewable activists hand wave this saying that battery production will increase a hundred fold. In reality, prices are rising: https://about.bnef.com/blog/lithium-ion-battery-pack-prices-....

And this has nothing to do with reserves and everything to do with extraction. The price spike of lithium was a combination of unpredicted demand and the supply dip from covid (because brine ponds take about 3 years to process).

Lithium will be irrelevant to grid storage anyway. There are already two GW scale sodium ion factories running and the supply chain CATL is building will completely dwarf them as it is much larger and compatable with the TWh/yr of existing lithium cell production and packaging facilities.
Mastodon has way more moderation than Twitter, actually. And way better moderation, too. Rather than one universal moderation rulebook there is one set of rules for each instance. And the moderators themselves? In Mastodon land it's members of the community itself, not some poor peon who hates their life and has no connection to the community. I.e. Mastodon uses the original forum moderator model. Don't like the moderation rules? Move instance. (Mastodon makes it easy to do this while maintaining most of your followers). Instance getting too big to moderate? Redirect registrants to some other instance, or assign more moderators from your own community. It's grassroots. It works. It draws from a culture of moderation and community that has existed for thousands of years. Twitter's global town hall doesn't work. No global town hall has ever worked. Empires, monopolies, despots, all sooner or later crumble. Even with a few periods of one-size-fits-all thinking, technology and society always tends towards smaller, interoperable units (think email, phone networks, balkanisation, the web at large, the massive tree of human languages). It may take 5-10 years, but twitter will either fall or get broken down into a federated service itself.
Quite true. Although there is unsupervised learning, much ML is supervised, meaning there is some ground truth. In those cases, the ground truth comes from sensors, as you said.

Many ML models dealing with human interaction do need a human to provide the ground truth. More and more these days you can probably find corpuses of data already labelled, so you don't have to collect it afresh.
And again, battery production is scaling like crazy. That is an undeniable fact for now. You're the one speculating that it will suddenly stop, and you have presented flimsy evidence at best. Your entire argument falls apart if batteries continue scaling at a reasonable price.
When I was doing Linux driver dev, it was expected new hires would take 8-12 months to ramp up and start to contribute (usually not well at first).

When I asked the Mesa devs how long ramp-up was I was told around 12-18 months.

When I was working on ChromeOS we expected about 6 months of ramp.

I guess it’s just different projects and jobs at companies. I would never hold my breath to find a candidate that had experience in any of the above.
It's just the classical socratic method applied to characters that you particularly don't identify with. Fasterthanlime's bear and why's guide have often been praised here for the same thing (the interludes break up the long, boring blocks of text that deep dives often lose readers on,) and it's trivial to use a Reading Mode or skip them for the legitimately interesting technical information within.

The code removes all “#/“ (or just “#” if a slash isn’t there). After that it replaces slashes with dots. How on earth is that “hash marks unescaped”?
Maybe I'm reading too much into it - whether by design or not, their public statements are serving them very well. They have a strong following (no doubt here, and on LinkedIn all the time I see people "liking" the pap they post), so they are playing to their base.

Second, if your enemy had a choleric temper, antagonize him. The people most sensitive to their stuff (eat bugs, personal carbon budget, whatever insane crap) get bent out of shape, and are still on the fringes enough that they look like the ones who are "conspiracy theorists" (they often are) and make it easy to dismiss criticism as crazy, while out in the open they do their thing.

Like I said, it's probably not intentional, but there is no countervailing force to prevent them from pushing their stuff, and plenty of upside, so they keep doing it.

If the rumors are to be believed, revenue has cratered. At the very least, the quality of ads has steeply declined - from A tier brands to B and C tier ones.

I've heard this over and over on HN in recent years and I simply don't understand it. Almost any Google search I run has just what I am looking for as the first or second choice. Google frequently knows what I am looking for after I type in the first few words of the search! Are HN people not logged in when they search?
I invited them to view content less triggering to them. I’d link some directly but I’m on mobile so that’s a lot of bother for someone who probably isn’t looking in good faith, and well… their search engine is either the same as mine or functionally equivalent.
Yes, that seems to be a consideration. From the article:

In a report peer reviewed and distributed by the Royal Statistical Society (RSS) in September 2022, Gill and colleagues detailed the statistical missteps in past medical murder trials and made recommendations for how legal systems can do better. Gill hopes the report will help with the case of another British nurse, Lucy Letby, who is now on trial for the alleged murder of seven babies and attempted murder of 10 more in a neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital.

Is it really reliable to such an extent? It sounds a bit "IQ 2.0" to me and outside of predicting university admission likelihood I feel like IQ isn't necessarily a strong indicator of much.
We used to have that in English with the formal "you" and informal "thou", but politeness lead to the near-exclusive use of "you" until "thou" became archaic. And now that it's archaic, people think it must have been formal. Funny little circular journey.
If they have credentials but still say nonsensical things, then what is one to think? That they "understand" it but still somehow draw the wrong conclusions?

Incidentally after years of resisting last time I updated my resume I removed every reference to UNIX and almost everything else non-Linux. I realize there are still jobs out there where it's a in-demand skillset but it just sounded dated, braggy, fabricated to mention my past experience with HP-UX, AIX, and Solaris in a world where it won't be relevant for 99% of the jobs I'm applying for. Also it's been so long since I worked with them I'm not even sure I can confidently claim them as legitimate skills anymore even if an employer felt they were valuable.
You can unplug the controller if need be, but truth is that if we're talking about ZigBee or Zwave, I don't think there's nearly enough bandwidth to do that :)
I wonder how many of those tech companies that you're alluding to have evergreen provisions baked into their capital structure, and what that means from a cost of equity perspective at the prevailing risk-free rate.
How is Nix not mentioned in this thread? The OSS community isn't a single monolithic entity. Nix devs and users are 100% on board with reproducibility.

For Android, there is Nix-on-Droid, built on top of Termux [1]. It would be wonderful if the Fdroid repository were made available as nix packages, but I don't believe that this is the case yet.

That’s a pretty wild conjecture.
At a very high level bombs are trying to convert as much of their fuel into energy as possible. The ideal bomb consumes most of the fuel and produces a lot of very nasty extremely short lived nuclear waste thus making a big detonation over a small fraction of a second. Waste products should be short lived isotopes to make them even more deadly weapons.

Meltdowns aren’t controlled reactions the waste includes perfectly useful fuel, short and long lived waste products, plus a mix of things such as control rods and the walls of the reactor etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corium_(nuclear_reactor)

There’s a few other effects such as mushroom clouds moving material away from the blast location, and reactors containing more nuclear fuel.
> Funny thing - in business (as I’m war) the ones with least compassion win.

I don't remember that happening in 1945. I think being compassionate has some significant propaganda advantages that you are failing to value. To return from war to business I would suggest that working for a company that is compassionate might make hiring good candidates much easier in contrast to a company that isn't. Combined with assumed turnover and associated loss of productivity the compassion could translate into a competitive advantage.
The thing is that customers don't have to stop all at once. If one restaurant stops all on its own then it will go out of business. If a customer stops tipping then they suffer no consequences cause they are freeloading off of everyone else who hasn't stopped yet. Once the rest of the customers see that people are freeloading off of them then they will be tempted to stop too.
I don't want this guy anywhere near me.

> Bankruptcy could still happen of course, even if Elon still has the money. He might think that completely shutting down Twitter is less embarrasing than selling it for a 90% loss, Elon is still pretending to be a business genius after all.

We do not know the reality. He has cut the payroll significantly (despite the severance since that is a 1 time burden), he has added paying customers with Blue, and by killing the API, he increases those paying customers. He can also browbeat or schmooze some large customers like Apple to advertise more. It may not be enough but a smaller profitable or cash flow positive twitter could still run for a while before he feels the pinch.

Not sure if he can make the billion dollar interest payments, but imagine if twitter can make 800M, and his Tesla stock goes up double, he would not feel a pinch bridging the remaining 200M although he may try to get someone else (or the company) to pay for it.
I believe it was a joke.
If the list is to exist at all, it should only be for people we think might blow up or hijack an airplane.

If you're putting people on the list for other reasons, even selling weapons to terrorists, then the list is being used punitively and therefore it shouldn't be secret.

IoT and predictive analysis proposed for the future of auditing. I suppose it was inevitable that buzzwords were eventually applied to auditing.

I feel like that ship sailed long ago (unfortunately), with the trend of replacing entire subassemblies rather than building devices/subassemblies to be field diagnosed and repaired.

Semi-related rant: I recently bought a Haynes manual for a '15 Civic. I figured it would, at the very least, have thorough wiring diagrams and describe the physical layouts of the wiring harnesses. Nope - over half is just generic information about tools and general car repair. The "wiring diagram" is woefully incomplete - it shows one single reference to a "CAN Bus" off the ECU, rather than the 7 or so devices on one bus, and 10+ on the second bus.

Luckily I managed to stumble upon a 15k-page OEMish service manual that details a lot of this stuff (via procedures, rather than easier-to-read diagrams, but at least its authoritative). I know car repair information has been obfuscated and proprietarized by manufacturers, but it looks like Haynes isn't even trying. Either at least document what's physically there, or just stop pretending to sell a repair manual.

(I'm not opposed to going to the dealer if I can't figure it out. I've just heard too many stories of people having electrical/control issues, and the stealership goes on a wild goose chase replacing part after part. So I figured I'd take a crack at it first)

I like the name. I don't know why "social media communities" should be professional at all times and afraid to be silly rather than serious. I like some fun there and it is a name that amuses me.

They have huge number of annual customer renewals coming up. This includes me. The question as they themselves pointed out is whether they wait or fight and sort it out differently, but if they do not, then by canceling early they avoid heartburn with all those people who will get charged for the renewal.
It doesn't really seem like a different reason to me. I mean, I have no background in this stuff, but someone who sells weapons to terrorists, seems like a reasonable risk to do the actual thing to me.
