Early versions of ARM (ARM 1/2, optional in 3/4) had a combined program counter / status register; since there was only a 26-bit address space and instructions are always 32-bit word aligned, the top 6 and bottom 2 bits were used for the status register.

So, if you're still developing for an ARM1, not all of these are equivalent. MOV/POP/etc will set the PC and the status register; B/BL will leave the status register bits alone.

* edit: MOV/MOVS determined if the status bits are written to R15.

Shadowbanning is a very real phenomenon; my current Reddit account was shadowbanned twice because I had created and posted memes which got unusually high upvotes for a new account, and the algorithm thought I was a bot reposting images to farm karma for future spamming. And from time to time I see HN users whose posts are flagged by default. I'm less sure if/how shadowbanning occurs on Twitter.
Agreed. Essentially decentralized access to information via Twitter.

I guess it wouldn't if one didn't value people. YMMV, but I think people are kind of cool — so if I hear a great song I want to know who the artist was. It helps me build a mental model of what I might be able to expect from them. I'm kind of shocked that this might not be obvious to everyone, TBH.
I doubt the safety of fracking. This sounds even more dangerous than the alternatives; if something goes wrong, how can it be fixed, being so deep underground? Yucca Mountain always sounded like the best plan.
Using your standard the same is said of cash. It costs money to print it, labor to count it, etc. Currencies are almost always negative sum at least if you don't count the utility of the use of the currency itself. Maybe you can argue gold or something like that is excepted as it can be used as productive capital as catalyst for chemical reactions or as a conductor etc.
I wish nuclear power was more widespread in the USA then solar power. In Colorado we get our 67% of our power from Coal and Natural Gas the rest from renewables like wind (26%), solar, hydro and biomass...

The really cool thing about nuclear is that the plant can dial up production of power based on demand. In the summer they can rapidly scale up demand to allow people to cool their houses.

Nuclear is really the environmentally friendly choice. Wind turbines at end of life aren't recyclable nor are solar panels
Neither removes humidity, only AC does that. All types of heating lower relative humidity by increasing the temperature of the air.

Shellenberger is such a hack it's hard to stomach, it's a shame that he went full throttle into the tedious IDW culture wars rather than doing something useful with his time.
Two main reasons, IMO:

1. At a point, Medium stopped adding value to blog posts and their network, to the point that they had to strongarm some of the larger networks to try and stay on their platform (e.g. FreeCodeCamp) and failed. Currently, Medium's best value proposition is long-tail SEO which just encourages more low-quality content.

2. In general, the long-form content landscape has shifted more toward short-form content in terms of things like Twitter and TikTok. Even Substack, which is a reasonable Medium alternative and superior if trying to build a readerbase, hasn't received as much buzz as it did years ago.
If there was competition companies would not be able to increase profit. What allow for this cutting cost and at the same time increase prices is that consumers do not have much of an option. When a market is just a couple or three companies owning all the products (think Procter and Gamble, Microsoft or Nestle) the all prices go up and there is no real alternatives left as they own most of their respective markets.

So it is perfectly logical for companies to do this. It shows that the market economy is failing in that areas, thou.
That's true, there is a great deal of theological diversity within the Catholic Church, and to an extent that diversity is actually encouraged. But the Church also sets bounds on what beliefs can acceptably be called "Catholic" and those bounds are Catholic dogma. (And over the centuries theologians have actually constructed quite a baroque hierarchy of degrees of theological certainty attached to various beliefs. [1])

The actual dogmas are fairly narrow. They include things like the doctrine of transubstantiation, Jesus being both God and man, Mary being conceived without original sin. But a lot of other things aren't dogmatic. For example, it's perfectly acceptable to argue that Roman Catholic priests should be permitted to be married or that Limbo doesn't exist.

My hot spoon isn't made up of uranium and didn't come out of a nuclear reactor, and isn't radioactive, so I'm not sure how that addresses GP's concerns.

I'm also skeptical. Most EU laws take a very long time to be negotiated, because different countries bring forward different needs/desires.

Easy to do when editing. You write a couple impactful sentences and consider putting them somewhere else, but accidentally duplicate.
It is somewhat logical. Radiation isn't free and if something radiates a lot, it loses quite a lot of energy while radiating.

Typically: intense radiation is caused by massive presence of isotopes with short half-life, which means that they go away quite quickly.

Re: nuclear waste, I'm sure there is a perfect way to handle it. But look up "Asse" for how it works in the real world. Also look up how long Germany has been searching for a final burial ground.

I'm confident if we made the author an absolutist ruler he would find a way that's better than what we have. We just have this nasty thing called democracy, and citizens' initiatives and huge protests and so on.

And that's the real world we're living in, not some imaginative fantasy land.

Good pickup. Reading it I really couldn't see someone that was anti nuclear yet claims to have not been aware / motivated enough to learn about key, basic concepts like radioactive decay now being capable of writing a piece like this. It is very well crafted to apologetically make an antinuclear view point look juvenile and immature.
I’m mostly convinced that is more about signaling than actual inability to do so.

If I can spend a few percent of my net worth on random crap for the fun of it, and not be materially affected, that must be true for people/corporations with a million times more money as well.

Honestly trucks seem like an ideal candidate for EV conversion because they have so much space between the frame rails for batteries.

Probably not great for long range towing but seems fine for in-town commute and work. Like a construction or landscaping company. Bonus if you can get Ford Lightning type built-in inverters.
Something like that, lyrics about other artists are often cleared too. There’s a mutual understanding in certain genres, but there’s the infamous example between Taylor Swift and West where the conversation was leaked because West mislead Swift.

It does seem like what happened is that Hersh got a legitimate source (probably in the US or Norwegian intelligence community) who was willing to talk about an existing plan for this kind of operation, and then spun it into a story just declaring that it happened that way.

In point of fact probably every major player in the region had a plan like this. Nord Stream 2 was a huge football for everyone with interest. We just don't know who did it. Maybe we never will. But reporting on a plan doesn't tell us much of anything.

My own opinion: I think it probably wasn't the US, simply because the Biden folks are being so cautious in so many other ways. I mean, you know this kind of thing will eventually get out. Why blow up a gas line but not sent ATACMS? Just doesn't make strategic sense. If we wanted to roll the dice and push harder there are so many more effective ways to do it. I still think the "Putin did it to silence internal dissent" theory sounds best. Could also be more hawkish European governments trying to keep the Germans from waffling.

Edit to note: the fact that the two replies are immediately jumping back into the essentially false[1] "Biden said he would blow up Nord Stream 2" canard in response tells us how uninformative Hersh's story turns out to be. It's not proof of anything.

[1] It was a statement in the press conference before the war started about possible consequences and responses. The context was sanctions and international condemnation, literally no one at the time, even the most Russophilic pundits and anti-imperialist tankies, interpreted this as a military threat.
I think this text is written by some kind of neural network, what do you think?
There are two main ways that something may become radioactive, being contaminated with little pieces of something radioactive (for instance nuclear fallout), or through neutron activation, in which neutron radiation creates radioactive isotopes in whatever it hits.

Assuming the fuel rods have intact cladding, then the first shouldn't be happening in a cooling pond. However the fuel rods do give off neutron radiation, and a small amount of the hydrogen in the water is turned into tritium by that neutron radiation. Tritium is a weak beta emitter, it could harm you if you drank a lot of it. But it's not a long-term problem because it has a half life of 12 years.
There is one problem with Nuclear power that was never talked about before the Ukraine War: War itself. More specifically, war in the area that is powered by nuclear. Damage to reactors, power plant workers fleeing, damage to nuclear waste containers, and more.
For me medium posts are boring

OK, but she's not incorrect as far as the need for more nuclear esp in lieu of fossil fuels
Well, the nuclear folks need a healthy dose of economics, because nuclear is not price competitive with current solar/wind, and those generation modes are still improving 10-20% per year on LCOE.

So even if some super good nuclear reactor design was finalized, proposed, funded, and constructed on a wide basis, we're looking at, what, 10 years?

10 years of solar/wind likely improving at LEAST 5-10% per year. Compounded. Meanwhile, the nuclear industry almost always blows the budget, and if there's one thing modern America hasn't fixed its government budgets from being boondoggled.

I'm a pro-nuclear person, I believe that price-matured wind/solar can be competed with using a future reactor design, hopefully one that is scalable, meltdown proof, uses all the fuel/no waste, can breed from thorium, nonfissile uranium, or long-term nuclear waste, AKA a LFTR/MSR, although I admit those have real challenges.

We should probably keep existing nuclear functioning as load leveling on the grid, and continue aggressive funding of research/development of test reactors. But there really isn't a price competitive design in nuclear out there.

And fusion? Pfft. Even if they can sustain a reaction, I highly doubt they'll even get to fission LCOE costs, and fusion isn't as clean as people think, those fast neutrons degrade/irradiate the confinement equipment.
Im nearing 40 and the only person "close" to me that has died is my grandpa, but I barely knew him since I grew up half way around the world.

Sure, but I think the imagined hellscape is one where the entire stack of developers don't know what they're doing.

It's like the ostensible toaster company that has outsourced design, engineering, manufacturing, marketing, sales, HR, everything I’ll the way to the janitor. The question then is: what does the toaster company even know about making toasters? If you play this game long enough, then you arrive at a point where entire sectors operate this way. Keep going and the entire economy works this way. At some point we have to stop outsourcing, or we'll lose a lot of knowledge when the original creators of that knowledge kick the bucket. At this point we can't rely on that knowledge being encoded in language models.

I walk to the grocery store nearly every day, the most potentially lethal part is crossing the street (because of cars) by far.
What do you think (: ?
I've wanted something like this for years. That's great.

Online threats are threats. They are a crime. It does not matter that they are almost always hollow; it's still illegal. It still causes harm to the victim, who knows that "almost always" is not the same as "always".

More importantly, I believe that this has the potential to tamp down other harassment that doesn't rise to the level of criminal. People who push the boundary risk being pushed back on. They do it now because there is no way for the victim to do that, and too many companies have little interest in helping.
I did on-call for work for 20 years. I just assumed my paycheck needed to cover that hassle. I usually got paid more than other people with similar experience because my job included on-call and theirs didn't.

Overtime isn't necessary if expectations are set up front and the salary is boosted accordingly.

But yeah, it makes people feel better if you pay them less overall and then give them overtime when they're on-call. It's also better for the company because then the raises are smaller since they're based on the base salary and not the overtime.

Honestly I'd rather just get paid a higher salary with expected on-call hours up-front.

Long form content will become more niche, at least when it comes to text. I prefer long form reading content over short form content so it's nice having platforms like Substack and Medium, but IMO there needs to be something better.

I'm not sure you really understand the technical complexity that goes into Apple's most basic products. The top to bottom in-house software stack is one thing, but that's the tip of the iceberg.

That's distributed ownership. Basically you get ownership of certain objects for no reason. And if you question the Goverment Class about this behaviour, you get freed from memory. Not a good strategy in my opinion.
that's not entirely true, for example, Microsoft Word for the Mac (and PC) was p-code C, because p-code is a lot smaller. I think UCSD pascal was, yes, slow because of p-code, but also pascal is a very limited language compared to C. P-code with pointers is going to be a lot faster than p-code with no pointers.

What world are these people even from?
There are a lot of geiger counters around operated by various organizations. Every time there is a radioactive leak just about anywhere in the world, it is promptly discovered even if that government wants to keep it a secret. In fact it is practical for you to own your own geiger counter if you live near a nuclear facility and are worried about it. The equipment needed for general analytical chemistry, which you'd need to detect a great deal of chemical pollution, is a lot less practical. For some specific chemical pollutants, there simple and cheap tests which are practical for laypeople. But there's no such thing as a simple hand-held meter that will detect any arbitrary chemical pollutant.

Hence, chemical pollution very often goes unnoticed for decades until somebody starts to wonder why half the babies in town are born without brains.
> I know remittance payments from places like US to Nepal is far easier than trying with normal banking options.

Okay, but the Nepal client still has to remit payment/receive payment with some source in their traditional payment system, so this doesn't really solve the issue unless they decide to operate all in USDC.

It's not a terrible burden coming from the US, but you've likewise offloaded the problem of having a US bank account onto me, where I now have to transfer my USD into USDC to pay you. It's not hard because I already have a Coinbase account, but it would take a few days for added funds to be released so I can send them to you. It's certainly not easier than something like Zelle.

Ultimately, nations aren't going to give up control of their money systems: China, for example, might use blockchains for a digital Yuan, but you can bet they will be holding the validator keys. Problems bridging between blockchains are as bad, if not worse, than problems bridging between traditional financial systems.

Point is, you're seeing a localized benefit from USDC because you've offloaded the problem of bridging between systems onto your clients, but that doesn't fundamentally fix that there are bridging problems. And even if every system moves onto blockchains in the future, that won't solve those bridging problems--in fact, it will almost certainly make them worse in the short run.
