To put in other units: a rise from previous targets of $58/MWh to $89/MWh, more than 50%, not including a $30/MWh subsidy (so the true cost is actually $119/MWh).

To be fair, it says the cost increases are mainly due to the rise in construction material prices as well as financing costs; nothing inherent to nuclear power or the novel technology itself.
They specifically forbade third-party clients that duplicate the Twitter.com / first-party Twitter app experience; Tweetbot, Twitterific, etc.
fluent apis are a matter of preference.

I personally find pipe style much more readable.
I'll have to look up the hydrogen one. I know the only DOE work I've heard of in the US is still hydrolysis.

I thought they have small scale modupar FAST reactors. I would hope they would be similar on price, or at least quote accuracy.
Yes. That's when I moved out to California. The tech industry looked and felt a lot different then than it does now. Recession or not.
Printing to stdout with an Empty Main
I live in a very walkable city (NYC). But I don't dare ride a bike. The car traffic is too nasty, and I'm very non-confident about my bike-riding abilities. I would love a motorized three-wheeler or something where I don't have to balance on my own _too_ much. Maybe with a roof for the rain.

Perhaps I'm dreaming of a world full of personal tuk-tuks and golf-carts? It's annoying that the only real options in the US seem to be "30 pound bike" or "2-ton+ car".
This discussion thread is rife with options like Ivory, Post, etc.
I agree that people have held out way too long. My more nihilistic interpretation is that taking any of Twitter's functionality for granted was a mistake. It's a publicly traded business, and if you didn't want big money to ruin the experience, you shouldn't have put faith in money in the first place.

YouTube is on a similar precipice. People think it's irreplaceable because YouTube displaces every competitor. In truth, Google has simply monetized the distribution of video content so well that nobody else has a reason to compete. Streaming video on a competing platform is almost always a shitshow. But, eventually YouTube will fail or implement a heartbreaking change that forces everyone off. Maybe Larry Ellison will make a bid for it, and we'll complete the Lex Luthor arc for American billionaires. Either way, it's another "too big to fail" service that is sure to fall apart at some point.

If you want to avoid situations like this, take ownership of the media you like and don't let your voice rely on other people's platforms.
Microsoft held an invite-only concert for execs, 1 day before announcing layoffs
> But this has destroyed the trust and the user experience of many of the power users who are most engaged with Twitter

As the "author" of some 80,000+ tweets (can't find number anymore), their mobile app was unusable. I've been on TweetBot for close to 10 years I think. TweetBot2 was my first mobile twitter client iirc.

No more mobile twitter for me. Shame. But probably better this way. It really hasn't felt like a fun place for the last 3 or 4 years. More like a cigarette habit you can't shake.
A new way: Orienteering can train the brain, may help fight cognitive decline
Participants were shown maps of the sky at different levels of light pollution and asked which most closely matched their view.

This seems like a very lazy, inexact, and error-prone way of collecting data.
I've never seen a PR/Marketing tweet from any of the bespoke artisanal apps (tweetbot, twitterific etc) Hootsuite, buffer are web apps, not for "ride or die" iOS nerds
I'm suggesting that more localized signals are not the same as a pain response in a centralized blob of neurons.
There are also lots of other interesting clients not from Tapbots. If losing Tweetbot was enough to make you look at Mastodon, keep that open mind and look at all the interesting clients out there.
Is it just me or does anyone else cringe when they read "is/is not all you need" in the title of an AI-related paper?

Also, what is "SOTA" for review? There isn't exactly a benchmark to compare...

In terms of comprehensiveness they don't mention PaLM + variants, which probably should be mentioned as it is currently the largest LLM with SOTA on several benchmarks (e.g. MedQA-USMLE).

In terms of correctness, I admittedly skipped to the sections I'm familiar with (LLMs) but I don't understand why they are distinguishing 'text-science' from 'text-text', they're both text-text and there is no reason why you can't, for example, adapt GPT3.5 to a scientific domain domain (some people even argue this is a better approach). A lot of powerful language models in the biomedical domain were initialized from general language models and use out-of-domain tokenizers/vocabularies (e.g. BioBERT).

The authors also make this statement regarding Galactica:

"The main advantage of [Galactica] is the ability to train on it for multiple epochs without overfitting"

This is not a unique feature of Galactica and has been done before. You're allowed to train LLMs for more than 1 epoch and in fact it can be very beneficial (see BioBERT as an example of increasing training length).

People GENERALLY don't do this because the corpus used during self-supervised training is filled with garbage/noise, so the model starts to fit to that instead of what you desire. There is nothing special about Galactica's architecture that specifically allows/encourages longer training cycles but rather they curated the dataset to minimize garbage. As another example, my research involves radiology NLP and when doing domain adaptive pretraining on a highly curated dataset we have been going up to 8 epochs without overfitting.
> They're unaffected…

This seems plausible, but has there been any official confirmation?

If I'm Elon, my next act of ecosystem warfare is to monetize remaining API use cases to within an inch of their life.
An Interview with Jay Hoffmann, Creator of the History of the Web
I would donate $10 per month to a decent open source Mastodon client, at least while I was using it regularly (and would have done so for Tweetbot).

I donate to a number of open source projects, a decent number of them regularly. I am lucky enough to be able to afford to buy software when I need to and donate to projects I think are worthy of support. It makes me extremely happy every time I am able to donate to an open source project instead of buying software. It makes me sick every time I capitulate and end up renting softare. Software subscriptions can die in a fire.

I'd encourage you to donate if you can afford to, but if you can't, that's ok.

A world dominated by open computing platforms and software is such an exciting prospect that it's worth putting a bit of money and effort into. And if that doesn't pan out, at least you helped the maintainers a little!
Mid-30s is fine. Pay attention to all aspects of your health, because it's super-important. Also, while you're in or working towards "the best shape of my life", as they say, that might have the bonus of another lifestyle/relatability point in common with some of your younger health-focused new colleagues.

What kind of work do you want to do? Software? If you already have some software experience, picking up a popular Web framework is very doable, and you can grow from there.

Too discouraged to imagine anything you want to do? If you weren't discouraged, what would you want to do, and how would you start working towards that? Why not start that, and get out of the discouragement trap?

Once you have some career traction going again, you might find that your prior experience has a silver lining. For example, you might see a pattern happening in a company, which you've previously seen not work out well, and can help nudge the company/person away from a pitfall.
The reflog does exist on the server too, but it's not really accessible without access to the git repo on the server, so not much use in eg, GitHub. That being said, GitHub also exposes some of these details, for example: in PRs when you force push on your branch.

So in the general sense, there's no reason we can't have exactly what's being discussed, but it just doesn't exist yet.
One of the tools used is Buffer [0], and they seem to support both Instagram and Facebook, and it seems that they are going to continue with Twitter as well.

Imo the biggest difference is the "heritage", Lean is Coq inspired, Idris Agda inspired. This manifests in how people prove things. Idris has dependent pattern matching, so proofs are written as normal terms. Lean has tactics and proofs are small tactics scripts (which then generate the proof term behind the scene).

Other than that, the difference is mainly in infrastructure/libraries and community.
For all of the armchair cheerleaders, I hope people ask themselves what Russia's response will be. If they're pot committed (and it certainly seems like they are), then an escalation will inevitably be met with an even larger counter-escalation.

Calling that "good" is perhaps shortsighted.
Engineered to cool by convection and gravity, yes. Somewhat safer than reactors that melt without continuous active cooling. But that comes at a cost: the good parts of low power density AND the bad part of low power density, such as being "huge" compared to a tiny little submarine reactor of similar power level.

Really any reactor "could" be engineered this way but it does make them big. And "big" competes against the natural desire of engineers to run them at high temps thus high pressures to keep efficiency high. But what if lower efficiency results in net cheaper and safer electricity; its not like they're paying silicon valley prices for the land and nuclear fuel is stunningly cheap so burning twice as much is still cheaper than coal, LOL.

A lot of the "old school" reactor design was based around the nuclear navy where both weight and volume are NOT cheap, not cheap at all. I don't think you could ever have a pebble bed reactor in an aircraft carrier.
I know a few people don't like it... but I've really enjoyed the Deno take on things for JS/TS runtime. While I'd prefer more native deno, the npm/node compatibility integration has made it really useable.

As for GP, you're right... there have actually been MANY attempts at other languages for in-browser. In the end, the JS runtime has been hardened and all other roads have led to WASM being the second target. I still remember a lot of people using VBScript in IE. I was an outlier in that I used JScript for classic ASP.
That's not the point at all.

Regarding the personal attack - is Zuckerberg also a "bizarre, fragile, little man" since Instagram doesn't allow 3rd party clients?

Regarding the validity of this move by Twitter - a private company is making changes which they believe are in line with their business goals. Who cares? Why get so riled up about it?
Yes, this. I've been reading many comments here about problems with different dependencies and their own unique build system and kept thinking "Conan would fix that". I'm surprised that it's still so unknown in the C++ world.
Is 17C considered reasonable temperature in home in UK?

Ah, we use the ML methods to understand what happens to a large collection of galaxies (maybe 100k - 1 million), all co-evolving together. Trying to use these methods v.s. direct simulation on individual galaxies is a no-go, too many nonlinearities exist.

Your comment about a numerical gravitational simulation being 'wrong' because of chaos may be true on an individual resolution element level, yes, but our simulations are made up of many billions of individual particles. Like traditional CFD simulations we can also demonstrate some level of convergence.
It's surprising that Flathub and Canonical's Snapcraft aren't involved in the Reproducible Builds initiative, since they're important distribution channels for end-user applications that could read your ssh keys and wipe your hard-drive if the distribution chain is compromised.
>I think the real reason Wall Street made the decision to move US steel production

This is quite the statement, Wall Street didn’t do anything. Foreign countries developed their own steel industries and the US couldn’t compete. This had little to do with Wall Street. The largest steel companies aren’t US subsidiaries that moved production offshore. Chinas steel industry is dominated by large state owned enterprises.
Linux Weekly News ended up with this kind of model. A long time ago back in 2002, LWN was about to shut down, but those of us in the Linux community found it had tremendous value and asked for options to pay, as well as options to pay more. Here we are 2 decades later and LWN is still around! Sometimes it pays to let your users help out financially.

I use TradingView for most of my charting and at the bottom right side there's a button labeled "adj". Clicking it will toggle whether the chart you're viewing is dividend adjusted or not. Very convenient for quick off the cuff comparisons of returns.

Using SPY I can easily see the non adjusted returns from the bottom of the GFC to the top in 2021/2022 were a little over 600% but then accounting for dividends see it's actually a bit over 800%.
Surely that's a mistake - if not, it's a huge problem.

I'm going to reach out to them and ask for clarification, because that statement is entirely inconsistent with reality.

This seems to be a standard commercial device that has many applications and is not part of the missiles but a tool used in calibration. The article mentions the Leica Builder T100/T200, a quick Google shows that there are several used ones available on eBay for about £600 here in the UK, so they are not exactly restricted devices...

Not sure what the Chinese could have done to them. If they tempered with the device to give inaccurate measurements it would be quickly detected... an hidden tracking device to see where they are used in Taiwan? But that implies that they knew which specific devices would eventually be sent back to the Taiwanese military.
The sabre rattling from the VC class of people who roll with (or think they do) Elon is extremely disappointing. Anyone without skin in the game would be hard pressed to characterize this new Twitter as going well by literally any metric.
Reproducibility is a nice-to-have, when open source is often missing basic table stakes like correct functioning.

F-Droid in particular a) requires users to manually confirm updates, because they haven't implemented the new API that'd let them update apps silently b) used to throw errors when doing so, so each update turned into a minute of fiddling.

Thanks for posting this. "Pharyngeal Gonorrhea" is actually where most of these drug resistant strains have been found, at least in the UK (can dredge it up somewhere but I read this recently when this was in the news).

Even during some of the heights of the AIDS epidemic, don't know anyone who used condoms for oral sex (though "don't get semen in your mouth" was actually very common, and that can significantly reduce transmission for both HIV and gonorrhea). TBH, can't think of a better application of "Who wants to chew gum with the wrapper on?". Would much rather limit sexual partners to serial monogamy than get full-body plastic every time I want to be intimate.
Do you think so? Sure, it's usually a dismissive remark but criticism is usually equally low effort.

I believe our world would be better off if the millions of critics actually tried to do better than the things they criticize. The vast majority of them would fail but would likely learn to be more understanding.

The few that succeed would probably make something that is actually better than the competition!

US’s biggest nuclear accident in terms of lives lost was on a tiny reactor.

At best the worst case downside is limited, but so to is the amount of power generated.
I think it’s more than being a reference book, but really understanding at an intuitive level how things work and being able to explain it. They are facile with the concepts to such a degree they don’t have to think about how things fit together to use a system and language and sdlc, they are able to just focus on the specific challenge. Further they can unblock everyone around them by providing that intuition on demand, and often explaining concepts others struggle with in a way that gives them a similar intuition.
I think it's beyond that -- with interest rates rising, companies need to increase earnings or else decrease their expenditures, in order to maintain their valuation.
Giving people time would have given time for pressure to actually change the outcome on top of actually requiring planning which doesn't seem to be Musk's forte when it comes to Twitter decisions. The bid more and more seems to have been weird tech bro shitposting that somehow ended in him signing a hilariously one sided contract that's come to this.
It may very well be that there is not a single 'replacement' for Twitter. One might argue that this is actually a good thing. Monolithic services pretending to be some kind of 'public' space is a lie.
ACX Survey Results 2022
The mere mention of a statistic involving a gender does not blame that gender. The point of noting the increase in marriage age is to point out that presumably the number of sexual partners increase as well, which can lead to more spread. Presumably women having more sexual partners ALSO means men having more, it takes two to tango and all that.

That said I had initially assumed that the reason for using women specifically was probably that the male median age didn't increase in the same time-frame, but it looks like it's pretty much been in lockstep (https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/visualizat...) so it's an odd choice to not just mention the median age of marriage instead of women specifically.
> and can have premium subscription features prominently featured. The former could have been rolled into the API, but the latter would have been basically impossible.

Not so, clients have exclusive keys (whose supply has been highly restricted since they were introduced a few years ago, making gaining any sort of grounds with new clients a challenge).

Twitter could have made the validity of these certs / keys conditional on subscription integration.
To me the strategy has seemed so backwards the last few years.

You are the CEO of a giant tech company, and your goal is to achieve maximum well-being of the company in, say, 3 years time. You are confident you can weather the short term ups and downs. You could:

1. Follow trends. Go on a hiring frenzy at the same time as everyone else. You have to compete with absurd compensation packages because everybody already has a job or is getting multiple offers.

2. Buck the trend. Hire when others are in the middle of layoffs. Show strength when others are making their sheepish apologies. Pay discounted labour prices for top talent.

To me choice #2 is a no-brainer but obviously nobody will ever put me in a position to decide, and it's easy to be an arm-chair CEO. Is it really that these companies are so short-sighted, and are more worried about next quarter than next year? Could nobody see the interest rate hikes coming? I just can't imagine how executives/boards would overlook the impact on stock price if a company was publicly known to use foresight in their hiring practices. What if the headline was something like "Google hiring continues at same rate during recession," doesn't that send a strong signal to investors?
CNET pauses publishing AI-written stories after disclosure controversy
This feels like the same thing with Gawker and the HBO show Silicon Valley.

It feels like people with money are shutting down, neutering, avenues where they receive criticism.

Since much of the money for the buyout came from the Saudis and the Chinese, it feels like the people behind this are more concerned with subduing Twitter than turning a profit. Maybe why they had to make it private, it’s illegal to run a public company into the ground.
Has a social media site ever been forced to accommodate blind people? Serious question.
Right but it is instead likely the case that companies with ridiculous profitability are likely to have diversity programs. That’s the thing about statements like this, it’s just one interpretation of the data.

Not using it now, but the last project I was on that did was at a defense contractor about 5 years ago.

Basically, the lead engineer that was in charge of the new project set up what he liked before the rest of the team was in place. So when I was hired on the team consisted of me, a senior engineer who hadn't used subversion in years, and a bunch of junior engineers who were completely unfamiliar with it. No amount of pleading would get him to migrate to git.

It was partially a control thing, I think. He liked having full control of the repo to himself. The system architecture was also... dated.
Went from devops/SRE to pentest/code auditing in my 30s.

Best decision ever.

Took about a thousand hours of refreshing my offensive hacking skills. Maybe 2.5 years of intense work. This and two intermediate security jobs until I landed the dream job in the dream team.

There is hope for you. The effort alone is rewarding. If I had not reached anything with my struggle, it still would have been worth it.
This is surely the case. It gets old watching progressives paint their interpretations as objective fact.
What's better about git? I haven't used svn, but have used perforce/mercurial professionally/git professionally, and use git personally, but I find all of them to provide the same "feature set" when doing basic development: have your own branch, and merge it in to the main branch when done/reviewed.

Merging seems the same on all 3 version control systems I've used... I've heard that git branching is better(?), but haven't seen that being used anywhere really.
easy? They started the approval process in 2011 and the cost of approval was allegedly in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

My work involves using those APIs; our keys are still active. We'd rapidly hear if entire apps like Salesforce had lost their access as part of this, too.

The new wording in the terms forbids "use or access the Licensed Materials to create or attempt to create a substitute or similar service or product to the Twitter Applications".

If I had a Tweetdeck competitor I'd not be investing too much into it, and I think anyone working with the APIs now has to do a bit of "is it worth the risk?" calculus, but at the moment there's no sign this goes beyond third-party clients to consume/post timeline stuff.
If he's not then pretty no one is; and the solutions are overcomplicated.
