- "Most controversially, the two other sites mentioned by Bouaida — Mahbes and Lemsid — are in the neighboring disputed territory of Western Sahara, which Morocco has claimed as its own for almost half a century, in defiance of the UN, which does not recognize the claim and lists Western Sahara as a non-self-governing territory."

Absolute madness to lead the article with lessons learned from Russian energy dependence, and segue into "let's put our eggs into this civil war basket-case". Never mind the moral arguments of investing in power plants on illegally annexed territory with no sovereign government. As a practical matter: what happens when conflicts break out again, and the keys to your high-value industrial economy are in some third-world warzone?
They may not be explicitly stating it but if the bank has $100m in assets most likely they are holing ~10% of that in cash and the rest in loans/real estate/bonds. If 2 members of the bank each cash out $10m at the same time they have a problem - in other words two people were owning the same $ at the same time

> Putting solar panels in the desert is good for the environment

Instead of altering unique grassland and desert ecosystems, and displacing nomadic tribes, the better option for 'the environment' and its peoples would be to build nuclear power plants.
Being able to create money out of thin air doesn't actually create the associated claim on value that the money represents.

So you're looking at this in terms of how you interact with money in the existing system. But all else being equal there would still be the same amount of value created & we can imagine ways that the value is distributed without the weirdness of banks & how we currently create money.
Anyone capable of bombing a nuclear reactor in the UK would just nuke the UK so a reactor doesn't really play into it
Well, duh. I don't think anyone thinks "sun strong -> good for solar" is bad reasoning. What is bad reasoning is ending your analysis there.

What's the cost-benefit of installing heavy transmissions infrastructure for the desert? The shore? The sea and ocean? Everyone and everything who live there? How vulnerable is that infrastructure to natural and artificial disasters, and what costs do we bear to build resilience to those outcomes?

Aren't surrounding communities also in need of strong consistent power? Why not move the power less distance (far less materials, less power losses) and serve a different population?

The classic thought-terminating cliche of if we covered X% of the Sahara we could power the whole globe obviously ignores the act of moving that energy from one place to another, which is a huge endeavor, to say the least.

Your argument is basically of the flavor "why is California still in a drought while the Mississippi river rages?"
The FDIC does in fact insure up to 250k per account/bank. You can get more insurance by spreading your deposits between banks, a service some financial institutions will do for you.

What about arrays of floating solar panels and windmills on the ocean?
It is starting to come. People already schedule their car charging when it is cheap. But it does not get built over night.
Yeah, having worked with an OpenVPN setup in the past - wireguard is definitely a breath of fresh air. It can be a little bit tough to setup depending on the rest of the network stack(openrc/network manager/systemd/systemd-network, etc), but it's very flexible.

Wg-quick (typically comes as part of wireguard-tools on distros) is extremely handy for the initial testing.
Uh. Just spell out your concerns and /why/ you need a fork to address them? Or provide a link that does so.

Not really, honestly these days it works pretty much fine. Basically only issue I have is the DRM and I can live without it.
There are lots of wind businesses dependent on the old market rules. There are lots of multi-decade power delivery agreements using the old single-price market as a benchmark. If you change the rules, you have to give everyone compensation, or run the risk of being seen as a 'bad place to invest'.
Being able to practice at-home seems like a win too. You don't have to booking time at a busy workshop if you rented the VR system as part of your class. You need to finish X hours in the sim and Y hours in person in order to graduate, but if you can do the X hours at home, at your leisure then it becomes that much easier to finish on your schedule, boosting completion rates and skill level.

The goal is to provide 10% of the country's energy, so I don't think it's that risky.

In the vast majority of cases, win/win deals create stability because neither party has any interest in the deal stopping.

If you think Russia is a counter-example, consider that Europe chose to ignore every single red flag and every American intelligence report for about a decade.

But, due to the lack of transmission, and the 'single price' scheme, this power isn't cheap. It's expensive, but there is too much of it in one region only.
> 2,300 miles

Why would you put a solar cell 2,300 miles away from the energy usage point? Who even thinks that way?

Since solar can be easily distributed, why not break it up into 50,000 local arrays?
In this context, I'm not talking about usability in a general sense, I'm talking about "You don't need to consider if you're invoking UB with safe functions, unlike with unsafe functions, because the compiler checks things for you, so the number of considerations is smaller."

You're right that maybe given that "easier" can mean many things to many people, I should have maybe chosen a different words.

I don't think you should. It takes time, and effort. There is a hump. I have dedicated a large amount of the last ten years trying to help fix that problem. It is very real.

The nitpick falls flat since brevity was the objective of my statement. "You and/or your ancestors" works. As long as the state that damaged your family still exists, a claim can be made.

Yours is also a weak counter because the precedent is already set in similar cases. Many Jewish reparations recipients were never in concentration camps but their relatives and/or descendants could prove the damages.

In retrospect, it seems pretty bad to bank somewhere that is tied to one industry for precisely the reason that when the industry starts facing trouble, the money disappears, and doubly so for our risky industry.

the damage done by building so many panels is greater than the benefits of putting those panels in the desert

panels don't produce that much power, you need a lot of them
We are moving towards an interconnected world. One connection and it is a weak spot. A multitude and you take it in stride.

NorthStream is the perfect example of this. Did Europe collapse? No. Would we have liked to not have to deal with it? Yes.

The UK is currently developing 12GW of nuclear power plants, and it is not exactly going great.

Hinkley Point C was originally quoted for £16 billion in 2012, which rose to £20.3 billion when construction started in 2017. It has been under construction for 6 years, they are 3 years behind schedule, and the cost is up to £32.7 billion.

Sizewell C is allowed to start construction and was scheduled to do so in 2021, but they haven't been able to finance it. Moorside was cancelled because Toshiba pulled out of the project, and Hitachi pulled out of the Wylfa B and Moorside plants leading to them getting shelved.

Not to mention that they are very controversial from an economic perspective. Hinkley Point C has a strike price of £92.5/MWh, while recent offshore wind projects have a strike price of £39.65/MWh.

In practice this means the consumer will end up paying to turn off wind turbine in order to run nuclear. It just doesn't make economic sense.
>If you’re saying ChatGPT can’t learn from what you tell it, that’s a design decision by openAI, not inherent to machine learning.

Well, if "machine learning" = "just throw more data to build the ginormous network of statistical weights ever larger" in the hopes that it can better approximate actually knowing things, the inability to learn things is inherent to machine learning.

The argument is that these networks don't understand the concepts that we use to generate our intelligence. It doesn't understand what the world is. It doesn't understand what an object is. It only understands statistical associations with words.

The symptoms of this manifest as hallucinations that it can't correct based on its own fact-checking. It can happily tell you the world is flat at some point even if it told you it was round earlier because there's no concept of "world" upstairs. It's just math on strings.

When it's computing that chess position, it's not picturing a board and a game and objectives about capturing pieces and defeating an opponent; the argument is that it's just doing stats on text (chess notation text). It's a black box stuffed to the brim with brute force "intelligence" from its training data, and it's using that to seem intelligent in the sense that we're intelligent -- actually able to learn and reason with concepts.

The reason we don't need as much training data and actually learn concepts may be because our brains are using a similar-yet-different (we have no idea) mechanism wherein concepts can actually be represented while language models are boiling the ocean to try and encode abstract concepts in the extremely inexpressive terms of a statistical circuit. And, if that's all language models can do, they'll never be able to encode concepts like our brains can. You'd need a galaxy-sized computer to store the concepts a quarter of a human brain can, say, unless you use a better method. Think trying to write code directly in machine binary. It'll take you forever compared to doing it with Python.
But you'd expect a research project to say "we tried harvesting button presses, rf, inertial energy, and all of it sucked except for solar, so we decided to up the solar as much as we can with a gameboy sized case". If they have budget issues, then buy one of those energy harvesting buttons, press it as fast as you can and measure the output... if it generates any meaningful amount of power, nice, buy one for every button and use it in the final "product"... if not, try something else. Solar cells are cheap, 3d printing is cheap, so adding a few more would help a lot.
I’m not yet persuaded this is relevant, at all. This isn’t a case where hierarchy fails us: we have a perfectly good and natural hierarchical model of speciation based on descent from common ancestors. That model doesn’t give us the common-sense notion of a tree, but that’s fine: so much the worse for common sense.

If instead we used a D&G rhizome that “connects any point to any other point” — we’d be dropping the notion of time (ie, ancestors precede descendants). Which when we’re talking about evolution, seems bad.

If horizontal gene transfer were a big part of the story here, that’d be different. Or if your ecology has time travel, or interstellar exchange ala Butler’s Xenogenesis, then sure, rhizome away.

Spring is not Java. It is not a required dependency. In the last 10 years I haven’t worked on a single Spring application. There are plenty of alternatives with modern apis: Play, Quarkus, Micronaut, Helidon, Javalin etc.

Left pad, right pad, isNumber, isArray?

I’ll give you serverless, but I’ll repeat what I said in other comments: languages are about trade offs and use cases. They don’t have to be the one language to rule them all.
That's really the divergence Norvig points to between Bregman's two cultures.

And there are plenty of cases where we have had essentially purely phenomenological models in physics (I mentioned this in another thread, but Landau theory) which only _later_ were systematized, so it's a set of processes on a continuum, not two binary opposites.

People _treat_ physical laws as absolutely true, because with high confidence they are and it's intellectually convenient, but they're really just models. We build models on those models, and mental models using our _interpretation_ of those models; no-one is denying the importance of model interpretability in all of this – but it's absolutely a tower of model-building, with more-or-less convincing explanations for the model parameters at various points.

Physics, or at least some domains of physics, are tractable using what one might term the "axiomatic style" because the models we have are a) staggeringly explainable and b) extremely robustly supported by measurement. Even that statement exists on a continuum: MOND is pretty damn phenomenological, for one example, and while we have pretty good quantum chemistry methods in the small, we certainly don't have practical ways of using those ab-initio methods for even mesoscale problems in solid state physics. Does that make mesoscale physics "not science"?

A science which rejects all phenomenology and which insists on building everything up from first principles isn't a science; it's mathematics. That's totally fine! It's just a different—related, but distinct—domain of study.
Well they are hardly "given" any capital, they sell part of themselves for money. The VCs don't do it out of the goodness of their heart, they expect to get back more later. In any case if loans were not available and equity investments (by people who are already rich and thus have money to spare for investments) were the only way to fund capital intensive new companies, that would make my point even more.

> Building them is also unfortunately a many decades long endeavor

That’s only true now. We used to build them in a few years.
I think that was fixed a year or more ago. Just install new signal on new phone and when it launches it asks "migrate messages?". Click yes, the phone figure it out, and you approve the transfer on your old phone.

I've done it several times without problem. I had something like 40k messages, so it does take awhile, but has a helpful progress bar.

About 2 years ago, it was much more painful involving a back and restore, which I got working, but was kinda painful.
It's probably better UX to make the options consistent even when there's no difference
I think you're missing the bit that this is a rather competitive market and that if you offered 'FAANG' kind of compensation that nobody would be able to afford solar installations to begin with. The resulting power will have to compete with that generated by the utility company and if the payback time > the lifespan of the installation then it's a no-go.
To me that just seems like another reason, if you're someone backing multiple startups exposed to the overall health of the ecosystem, to point people to different options so you don't have a single point of failure.

Surely there are enough banks and bankers around that you could have half a dozen or more specialists? It's knowledge work, not something needing billions in physical infrastructure investment.
It strikes me that no one pointed out to their product managers the liability (kernel sources, packages, updates, et al) that is shipping an ~~Android~~ mobile device as a part of their product.

> But that technique looks an awful lot like the 2018 GPU renderer from KiCad ;) And lastly, that glyph atlas for font rendering is only 1 channel? KiCad uses a technique using RGB for gradients so that the rendered glyphs can be anti-aliased without accidentally rounding sharp corners.

Is this stuff written down somewhere other than the code?

I use KiCad all the time and certainly never noticed this.
You're not wrong, and I'm as pro-nuclear as it gets (would love to see moonshot-scale projects to fully nuclearize as much of the globe as possible), but... we can have both.

If large scale solar deployments in the sunniest, most hostile parts of the planet are available sooner than our nuclear dreams could come true, then I say hurrah.
I was playing earlier today with Triton[0], from OpenAI. Like Taichi it makes it super easy to write native GPU code from Python, but it really does feel like something very experimental for now. (I know the use case is very different)

That makes sense. You'd think they'd have prioritised this and have it done by now though. Both the new payment system and extra transmission capacity.

I am uneducated in this particular field but my understanding is that salt water is extremely corrosive. Having reliable energy is not just about installation, but also about maintenance and continued operation. The latter is a challenge in a corrosive salt water environment.

I deiced airplanes at newark airport during college.

The deicing company just grabbed anyone they can practically off the streets. Training was 4 hours on a saturday in the fall. In the winter, folks would slam into planes all the time and someone would have to come out and look at it and make sure it was ok.

There were no "instructors". At the time, the 3 main airports around NYC was the same group of people so it wasnt just EWR. Its alot more refined now, (this was 15-20 years ago) but from what I hear, its not much better.
