I still find it hard to believe that such a device can be less that $1000, considering how many parts have to be designed, how many cutting edge components there are in there, the depth of the supply chain and the manufacturing quality. Modern manufacturing is insane.

Probably the most complex single device humans can make is a CPU die and you can have a mid-range one for the price of a meal, and this consumer laptop presumably has manufacturing tolerances that would make the people who built spacecraft a few decades ago sweat.
How long has this been available (in Chrome/FF on desktop)?

1. Where can one find evidence of this mass demand?

2. How does the US government gauge this mass demand without formal voting/polling?

Were people phoning their senators, "SHOOT IT DOWN!"? I'm sure crazies phone in all kinds of things from time to time - what's the threshold for acting on demands/mass demand?

Certainly. Despite what some people might tell you, the only real requirement behind something being Open Source is that its Source code be Open for viewing. Nothing more, nothing less.

There are plenty of "free for personal use; restrictions apply for commercial use" type products and licenses out there. To use a specific software example, almost all mods for Kerbal Space Program are open source with a "free for personal use, commercial use prohibited; redistribution prohibited" license.

Also note how there are plenty of free-as-in-beer, closed source software out there. Commercial, open source software is simply a mirror opposite of them.

Free-as-in-beer vs. Commercial, and Open vs. Closed source, are separate concepts that can co-exist in any combination.
Tomte's phrasing is confusing, but I don't think this is what he meant. I think he's accusing others of making comments with the intent of derailing stories, and not claiming that this is why he is posting such stories. His comment on how "woke" and "anti-woke" stories are treated differently doesn't really make sense otherwise. I'm not sure, though. You might check with him and confirm.

Thinking you need to eat every 3 hours or six meals a day or always have breakfast or whatever it is that you’re convinced you have to do to survive … is all mental.

This will absolutely not be true in all cases. If you have certain health issues, no, it's not all in your mind that you need to eat at certain times.

Having said that, even if you have serious medical stuff going on, fasting or semi fasting can be useful. If you aren't well enough to just not eat, eating a lot less for a day or part of the day can have some of the same benefits with less risk/drama and may help you get to the point where fasting is viable.

Last time I checked the Inuit didn't have a large scale meat industry that kills billions of animals each year and that pollutes and destroys our biosphere and uses huge amount of resources.

The Inuit or any other tribes live with Nature and preserve it.

We don't - we do the opposite.

People would often make a pot pie, which got it's name from literally being the pot they cooked the food in. Everyday they'd remove the top, add more ingredients, and cook it again.

I'm unsure of which regions did this, but I didn't mean they baked a bunch of pies in the fall.
> No. The EDF did not schedule maintenance of half of its fleet

Yes it did.

> A quarter yes, a quarter went out unplanned.

Great to hear that you are backing off from your "collapse" narrative. But still not quite correct. These were planned shutdowns for planned maintenance/inspections. Some of these inspections found problems, as inspections sometimes do and therefore the plants were offline longer than just the original inspection period and some additional checks were performed and problems were found that had to be remedied.

Example here:

https://www.edf.fr/en/the-edf-group/dedicated-sections/journ...

And once again: these checks were scheduled for the summer (extended to fall), and even with some of the extended maintenance required most plants were operational again in winter.

> Renewables on the other hand are extremely predictable and pretty much always deliver on the prediction

LOL. I would really like to be able to schedule our "Dunkelflauten" for the summer ...

The only thing that is predictable about renewables is when they definitely won't be available. Which is when we need energy the most. Yay!

> This caused a huge energy crunch across most of western Europe.

LOL. Attributing the spike in energy prices mono-causally to the scheduled maintenance (taking slightly longer than planned) of a part of France's nuclear fleet that you yourself write didn't take that much to replace is ... cute. Do you think there may have been other events in that time that could have had some impact on energy prices? Like maybe the largest disruption of Europe's energy supply in the last half century? Nah, that can't be it.

And it is also important to remember that these are water pipes running under high pressure. Cracks are an expected feature of this system, ask any plumber. Of course they need to be fixed in time, which is why there are regular inspections, but it's not as if there's some catastrophic flaw that was revealed the way it is presented in the press (particularly the German press, though the NY Times article is also pretty bad).

And of course you can expect more leakage/cracks as these plants reach the end of their service life, and especially if you defer the needed inspections/maintenance as was done during COVID.

It should also be noted that the extraordinary success of the French nuclear program has led to complacency and underinvestment, as that success was increasingly taken for granted. Fortunately that is starting to change, the French are taking their nuclear industry seriously again, and not killing it off in favour of renewable dreams that don't (and didn't) pan out.

That success is also reflected in public opinion: "Nearly 80 percent of the French public support nuclear energy, up 20 points from 2016". https://www.france24.com/en/france/20230105-how-france-s-pri...

So yes, there are problems. But they're not what you claim (and seem to believe) they are.
Sun: The Network Is the Computer
Yeah, languages are "easy" to learn when you already know a few from different paradigms. I can skim through the docs of an unknown language and know enough to start writing in it quite quickly. What takes time is to also learn all the tooling, not just the syntax. How do you build it, debug it, deploy it, what frameworks and libraries should you use, and spend time to learn them.

Take javascript, for instance. If you're used to a C style based language with some functional patterns, jumping into a codebase and understand it is quite easy. But around the language itself you also need to know stuff like npm, webpack or similar, how the browser works, http concepts etc etc.

Or python, need to deal with pip, virtualenvs, perhaps poetry, need to understand the limitations to concurrency because of the GIL and how it affects deployments, perhaps django or some other framework, etc.
Doesn't matter if "the Russians are behind it" - the Swedish government still allowed the Quran burning. Let me repeat that - the Swedish government was well aware about this "protest" and still allowed it to happen knowing very well how Turkey would react to it. Do you really believe allowing some religious book to be burnt was more important for them than joining NATO (which apparently they need to because of national security)!? The only conclusion that can be drawn is that the Swedes aren't serious about joining NATO, yet.

Not really. The capital of Rus moved from Lagoda to Novgorod to Kiev to Vladimir to Moscow. The rulers of Moscow up until the end of 16th century were members of the Rurik dynasty - the same one that conquered Kiev in 9th century.

I've made a little demo showing how to recursively extract entire imaginary projects from LLMs capable of generating code, automating the entire process from idea to runnable/uploadable project on your file system.

The word “Intervention” is just fraught with unconscious bias and makes it seem like the intention that motivates an action is relevant when it is not. The characteristics noted in the essay apply to all actions.

No one would characterize the Industrial Revolution or adding lead to gasoline as “intervention” yet clearly the second-order thinking this article prescribes for “interventions” needed to be applied in those cases.

“The key lesson here is that if we are to act, we need a solid idea of not only the benefits of our actions but also the harm we may cause—the second and subsequent order consequences.” is more correct but doesn’t serve this author’s agenda.

No. You're confusing source-available with open source (several large software corporations are very grateful to you for perpetuating their FUD). The monetization rules are identical for Open Source and Free Software. From the horse's mouth:

UK is in a weird place.

Credentials are rarely required by law; rather "relevant experience and/or qualifications" is the usual bar. Of course some professions are heavily regulated, I'm not talking about those.

But then, insurance is often required, or de facto required, and to get that, you need a qualification.

IME this leads to a lot of professions staffed with poorly-trained people, often not much bothered by the job, with one piece of paper showing a low-quality qualification, and another showing professional indemnity.

It also pushes actual regulation onto private entities with their own agendas, which possibly bothers me even more.
Best practice here is to keep a chunk of your dataset held out from your entire development process (a "held out test set"), and then only evaluate it when you write your final report on your work.

The idea is that you don't even look at this data until you're confident you've solved the problem, and then you have one shot to confirm that you have, indeed, solved it. Obviously you have to be careful in selecting this set -- if you're working with time-series, for example, you want it to be temporally disjoint -- but done well it's a reasonable approximation for "future results".

About as good as you can get without collecting new data.

I can't tell if they did that here, but if they did, they didn't use the common jargon for it.

I've noticed that adoption frequently slows to a crawl at around 95% or so.

E.g., the JS `await` keyword, which started rolling out in 2016, is at 95%. CSS Variables haven't reached 97%.

> Baseload power is ensured through diversity and spare dispatchable power.

Unless I’m missing something, solar and wind are not diverse energy sources though. If one plant is generating less energy because the sun isn’t shining or wind isn’t blowing, then all the nearby plants have the same problem. If you take one nuclear plant offline, the others aren’t impacted. Seems like a completely different scenario. You can get some diversity through geographical separation but I’m not sure it’s that much, especially on a small island like Japan. Also, long distance energy transmission has proven expensive and problematic (eg HVDC is not the norm because it remains phenomenally expensive to deploy)
