But Holtec is well within its legal rights and permits to discharge waste at the same rate as it did when operating, and it does not need federal, state or local approval to dump the contaminated water. This practice is standard for nuclear plants.

I feel this article then should actually be viewed in reverse: the old people are shuffling off to the outskirts to leave room & resources for the young.
Oh that's interesting. I don't know too much about the neuroscience, just enough to agree that a real neuron is vastly more complex than a node in a "neural net". Based on your description, an axon is most highly analogous to the bias term, although it would be a multiplicative bias. I wonder if that's been tried.
Soon inference for big LLMs will be ran locally, without leaving any kind of logs which can't trivially be erased.
Do you have evidence of this? Survey or something?
Along with that, the cost to "develop" the miner is pretty much a fixed one time cost and they just have to hit a few deploy buttons to do it. The software to do the mining, and send the tokens off to where they need to be already exists and can be sent to tons of different places to do the mining (CI infra, hacked AWS accounts/EC2 servers, etc.). There's very little overhead for them to actually get the things running.
The driver is only paid by the trips they decide to take within the timeframe they are logged in. They have full flexibility to log in and not take any trips…and not get paid a dime.
Edge has lots of great features and UX elements that set it apart. Eg proper vertical tab bar, profiles with great UX, “turn site into desktop app”, well-designed website translation, etc. Chrome has some of these and Firefox lets you piece it all together with lots of add-ons but it’s not the same.

Firefox is my daily driver, but for a long time, before all these user-hostile misfeatures were added, Edge was Pretty Great As Well in my opinion.
I still don't think she'll ever actually go to prison. America has a "too pretty to jail" problem, regardless of wealth.
If you fancy studying at a medieval University today, I was surprised to find that there is a revival of "classical education" in the medieval mould. E.g.

- https://reginaacademies.org/2020/10/08/the-trivium/

- https://udallas.edu/braniff/academics/ma/classical_education...

It seems to be a strange mix of fetishization of the trivium and quadrivium, conservative Christianity, and perhaps some useful pedagogy along the St John's model.
> I just see it as an indicator of reach.

That just shifts the question to why is "reach" something worth wanting?

> some people with snap judge a project by number of stars and more likely use it if it has a bunch.

And why do you want these users?
Amazon has similar systems operating since last 10 years.
It's probably more an issue with the thunderbolt dock. I had the same exact problems and they were traced to bugs in the dock firmware. You can try updating the firmware and see if that fixes it for you. Unfortunately, Lenovo bios/firmware has been really bad for Linux in the last few years.
TLDR; Water is slightly more radioactive than natural, every nuclear plant does this, its normal behavior, and safe since its such a low amount of radioactivity.
So I'd agree you generally won't get perceptions constructed seemingly out of whole cloth. They are more like non-optical illusions. Similar to optical illusions in the sense of being a form of erroneous perception which you are aware is erroneous but not really fooled by. Non-optical in the obvious sense that the mechanism isn't the same as a normal sober state optical illusion. Let's call them "distortions" instead and not get stuck on vocabulary.

There's a few reliable ways to manifest distortions and to notice the amount of distortion in your present state.

1. After images. Stare at a bright spot such as a lightbulb or a beam of sunlight through a crack for several seconds. Then close your eyes. The normal after image you are used to should now take on a deeply geometric shape rather than smoothly diffusing away.

2. Look at TV static / towel / white noise texture. These patterns are extremely reliable at manifesting crystals and fractals. I have theories why, but lets stay on point.

3. The dead man switch. Set a timer for 20 min. When it goes off, verbally acknowledge and reset. This isn't visual, but the first and most subtle distortion is your sense of time and this will make you acutely aware of it.

4. Thin line on white page. It should reliably start to jiggle around as if it were a wave on a string.

As a general rule, things which have very fine grain spatial components will be distorted in some way. If you must know the theory for whats happening (which I can back with scientific citations), the brain is doing something similar to the way jpeg/mp3 compression works. Namely it converts the incoming information into frequencies via a fourier transform (in some weird, highly optimized basis) because information processing is generally easier there. LSD changes the reference clocks so everything is out of phase. Every frequency is being slowly phase shifted from where it should be, which then causes it all to move as if it were following a wave equation.
...and the number of people working.

Hence the need to either sacrifice the old, or make more babies.
It is incredible how on one hand WinDev has doubled down on COM after the way Longhorn was botched and rebooted into Vista,coming up with WinRT afterwards.

While on the other hand they keep failing to deliver a VB like experience to deal with all that COM.

All C++ improvements were killed in the name of the mighty IDL, and even .NET has always been hit and miss with RCW/CCW, and CsWinRT requires manual boilerplate coding.
I share the sentiment. Microsoft has done an atrocious job at naming things here and created a lot of confusion.. Im not sure if this was their intended goal or it’s simply incompetence.
The Great Computing Stagnation
This is a _very_ funny article to me because at the end he basically says it's much nicer to use threads. I don't think anyone who has written an actually complex asynchronous application would agree.
Truly astonishing, whatever anyone claims about this stuff being just 'random babble' or 'stochastic parrots' or whatever, the proof is in the pudding - most of these are better than the majority of people would be able to produce.
as a long-time NeurIPS reviewer: the problem is that most submissions are kind of "meh", and everyone knows it. They're usually well-done papers (in the sense that the math checks out and the empirical evaluation is is done well enough), but it's pretty obvious that the paper isn't going to be influential. Mostly, these are papers of the "this is a cute idea that'll give you 0.1-2% improvements on some benchmarks people usually look at" variety. So depending on how strongly a reviewer believes that this might actually become influential if someone REALLY, REALLY digs down on this idea or not, you'll give it a "barely passing" or a "barely rejecting" grade. That's what most of these 60% usually are.

I don't think the problem here is actually the "broken peer review system". I think this is a fairly natural development: if your PhD advisor insists that you have a few "good papers" before they'll agree to let you graduate, and "publication venue" is used as a proxy for "is a good paper" (which is very reasonable, because it might take years before better proxies such as "citation count" give a good signal), then you'll submit your paper to top tier venues and hope for the best. I don't really know how to fix this: Establishing things like TMLR (Transactions of Machine Learning Research -- a rolling-release journal meant to have roughly the quality of NeurIPS) might be a good way forward. Students get their stamp of approval by publishing there and NeurIPS can significantly increase their acceptance threshold. But once you do that, you'll risk that TMLR doesn't count as "good enough venue" anymore....
This is already pretty common across a lot of open source projects due to parasitic hijacking of compute time and space, in Kubernetes non-members can't run CI without having an ok-to-test label on their PR
How so? The commercial organisations will be able to use a GPT bot to provide more believable comments, at greater scale, and cheaper.

I think people like to have something to watch and something to listen to. It makes it harder for your brain to go off at a tangent because it has more to occupy it. I think this reduces anxiety and intrusive thoughts. They may even be fidgeting with something to keep their hands occupied for the same reason. Maybe it is more like meditation than porn.
For me KDE 3.5 was still the best. But I use cinnamon now, it comes pretty close. Any attempt to try KDE 4 or KDE plasma over the years made me give up quickly again due to annoying issues (like showing a giant volume icon in the center of the screen whenever changing volume with no setting to disable it)
Can you try and express what the semantic differences are exactly? Most approaches for expressing semantics yield equivalent results or nearly so. For example, using a Hoare triple approach, what conditions in P and Q would yield different assertion results between,

assert P;
foo(); // blocking call
assert Q;

and

assert P;
await foo(); // await on an async call
assert Q;

?

There may be some (e.g. thread identity is preserved in the former but possibly not in the latter, depending on implementation, and that could be expressed with proper assertions), but they only highlight how the differences are merely technical and certainly not "inherent".
Traveling with people SUCKS. The best times of my life have been being by myself a hundred miles from civilization. I can do whatever the hell I want when I want, and no listening to whining or posing for instagram moments.
I don't think this is malicious, registrars often have to use third party top domains like for example .tech which reserves common words as premium domains, but you are unable to see the price until you make a request for buying it. So in this case, Namecheap would show the default price, but when it tries to process it, they would receive the premium domain price - thus, since it's no long matching the cart price, they have to update it to reflect the actual price.

I'm sure they could do this more informatively though, but they're not alone in not doing that..
Maybe even push that a level higher and have org to org vouching as well (so it can scale and reputation propagates social bubbles.) Bootstrapping remains somewhat an issue.
Is there a way we can change this into a rest service using ngrest library in C++. I am trying but looks like there is a lot to unpack in the Chat.cpp code and am not able to proceed.
Nice one. Maybe even Vulture Catastrophists
There is plenty of hallucination going on in my head though, often so crystal clear and undeniable that I all but see it out in the world. I think that’s enough to qualify as hallucination even though it’s not the cartoony meme of seeing aliens walking around or whatever.
Can confirm, I appear quite smart until I speak.
Historian Timothy Snyder on the Ukraine War: Empire or Integration
> I would also classify most science fiction as pretty solidly out of touch with what reality is going to look like.

What exactly do you mean by ‘out of touch’?

(Personally, I avoid ‘most science fiction’ by not reading all of it. :\) But seriously, I try to read and watch the insightful and brain stretching kinds.)

You wouldn’t be the first to express disbelief. The majority of possible scenarios never happen. But the practice of thinking through them and taking them seriously is valuable. Consider the history of the discipline of scenario planning…

> Early in [the 20th] century, it was unclear how airplanes would affect naval warfare. When Brigadier General Billy Mitchell proposed that airplanes might sink battleships by dropping bombs on them, U.S. Secretary of War Newton Baker remarked, “That idea is so damned nonsensical and impossible that I’m willing to stand on the bridge of a battleship while that nitwit tries to hit it from the air.” Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, was also incredulous: “Good God! This man should be writing dime novels.”

> Even the prestigious Scientific American proclaimed in 1910 that “to affirm that the aeroplane is going to ‘revolutionize’ naval warfare of the future is to be guilty of the wildest exaggeration.”

> In hindsight, it is difficult to appreciate why air power’s potential was unclear to so many. But can we predict the future any better than these defense leaders did…

> Scenario Planning: A Tool for Strategic Thinking
How can companies combat the overconfidence and tunnel vision common to so much decision making? By first identifying basic trends and uncertainties and then using them to construct a variety of future scenarios. By Paul J.H. Schoemaker

Of course, reading sci-fi novels is not the same as systematic scenario planning. But the former tends to show greater imagination and richness.
Tungsten gold plated bar
"Go outside" is not always the solution, not every city, country, society is the same and this advice sounds similar to already mocked by me "just have friends, lol".

Even if you assume that it's not difficult to met some people then it is difficult to have really meaningful relationship, not facade with fake smiles, fake greetings and bam! contact lost on a whim.
It's not coincidence that true, years-long,lifelong friendships are often forged in the school, military etc. - it's just very long process to find compatible people, become even more compatible, learn to rely on each other and learn to value that.
I guess this also depends on how one's definition of "friend" looks like - there are multiple other words to chose from: coworkers, acquaintances, random people, etc.
I don't think that async/await is about to make things faster. It's about to run things things in parallel. For example, you can run long tasks with making your GUI unresponsive.
And it'll silently remove your real posts too, faster than the horrible moderation on reddit ever could!
I might be mistaken, but IIRC it originally (as in, 60 years ago) contained peanuts, salt, and that’s it. 100% peanuts were replaced by 50% peanuts+50% corn some time in the last 30 years.
HN certainly does. HN shadowbans people, for example.
How would internal metrics even capture someone using a different computer?
Awesome, thanks for sharing this
I pretty much went the opposite and gave up on sway/i3 after many years. I just want my computer to work so I can focus on things that matter to me now (tinkering with my Linux OS used to matter to me, but I'm over that). Every little thing on i3/sway is a chore to set up.

I even went full click ops with OpenSuse Tumbleweed now. No more toiling over my NixOS/Arch configs - I don't need fully reproducible environments for 1 or 2 machines. I want to add a printer, I click YaST printer, add it, done. I want to install full Qt Creator IDE, I download it from the website, double click the rpm and I'm up and running in < 5 minutes. Want to auto hide my taskbar? Right click, set auto-hide, done in 30s. Plug into conference room HDMI cable and mirror? Go to monitor settings, set to mirror, done in 30s. Etc.
Isn’t that a form of bullying?
"low" after some 20 years or so of decay. But yes, you are correct.
VB did it via VBScript and COM, later with Web Forms in .NET.

Outsystems picked up on this and created a visual programming language for the Web, still going strong 20 years later.
I recently switched from Edge to Firefox. Edge used to be great, but all "features" it has added the past year is not features I need, like sending my text input to Microsoft, showing online shopping suggestions, discover features, sidebar apps and what not. Edge also has a annoying bug in combination with AMD graphics card where the bottom of the screen flickers when watching certain video content in Edge, like Netflix (YouTube works). This bug has been there for months and still not fixed.

I also recently downgraded from Windows 11 to Windows 10. Windows 11 was just too intrusive and many non-configurable features. Windows 11 is also slower, has more bugs and more unstable than Windows 10.

I'm guessing that we need to abandon Microsoft's products when Windows 10 reaches end of life, not something I looking forward too because I'm not a big fan of Linux desktop nor the Mac desktop.
What's really an alternative. At least where I live, a multi-year gap in your CV is going to set off more red flags than an honest "It didn't work out between us".
It honestly for me depends on how deep one is in a community. I am pretty heavily part of the Guitar Hero/Rock Band/Clone Hero community, and I watch a decent amount of such streaming. However, I also know many of them online, and a good few of them I've even met in person.

It's okay if you don't get it, if you don't enjoy watching others game. Doesn't mean others can't
> until we have robots which can fully replace many/most jobs people do

Most people's jobs aren't necessary for a functioning society. If you look at say, agriculture, transportation, energy, sanitation, infrastructure, etc, what percent of the total population is employed in those fields, 5-10% maybe?

Society will be fine for a long time with drastically dwindling population, we'll just see a contraction of the "bullshit jobs" which have become the mainstay of post-industrial societies, with a higher percent of people employed in fields which are actually producing something of value for society.

When I asked why NameCHEAP still used their name, despite no longer being cheap, I was downvoted. It seemed as if I was implying that I could buy apples from Apple. Ironically, some people have been referring to OpenAI as ClosedAI lately.

BTW, I am a Namecheap customer for 20 years now :D

You missed: look at the actual code.

Stars only mean something because of the people who do. They're the ones leading the herd. If you're just going off the social signals, then you're just monitoring where the herd is going.
Of course, and by design; the fed are obsessed with curbing inflation, and the best way to do that now is to very conspicuously try to curb wage demands (supply of goods is constrained for it's own reasons, so not amenable to monetary tinkering), starting with an obvious, well-known, and somewhat easy target.
> At best what happens is that you start to notice patters that look like something but you are aware that this is pattern recognition and not real thing.

Not everyone is able to identify the difference between real patterns and fake, drug-induced pattern recognition, though.

I’ve even seen it happen to a friend who was otherwise a very logical, rational person. After a period of experimenting with psychedelics, he became attached to some physically impossible ideas for a period of a few years. Eventually he started recognizing that the ideas were illogical and triggered by the drug, but for a while he was thoroughly convinced that some things he “learned” during his trip were, in fact, part of a reality that the rest of us simply had seen yet.

Try to do enterprise consultancy and there will be plenty to care of.

To the point that some companies rather spend their budgets into full rewrites into other stocks, or acquisitions, instead of porting into .NET.

See Sitecore, as an example of what was once a key player in .NET CMS enterprise space, now focusing into other stacks.
And Microsoft wonder why on earth people jump through their arsenal of hoops to switch from Edge to any other browser as a default.

This would be it
For me the worst form of loneliness is to be with people that I don't want to be with. That's is like mental suffocation - a sizeable chunk of your mind is occupied due to simple presence of people you are travelling with
Seems to feed on fear of nuclear. On the other hand we are happily dumping radioactive contents from coal power into the air: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/E-9-2022-00356...

> The fact that coal power plants are radioactive has been established not only on the basis of scientific data, but also because some companies have specialised in salvaging uranium from the smoke the plants give off in order to resell it to the nuclear power industry

It seems like we have a really hard time focusing on the best option. We are accepting far worse outcomes at the moment while we indulge the scare of nuclear power.
I agree that monopolies are bad, but the grandparent listed 7 stores, and all are owned by different companies. I am similarly in an area where I can count at least 12 different grocery store parent companies, two of which are local and not in the big list in your first link.

Maybe the monopolization is only happening in certain areas?
That sounds very similar. We also spun up a Mongo instance in us-east-2 and the performance was fantastic. Round trip from the server to the mongo instance was super low and comparable to the Heroku / Mongo times on us-east-1
Bummer you had a different experience.
Ask HN: Building Bluetooth web applications for health monitors
Tl;dr - I'm looking to build a simple app that reads from a blood pressure monitor, and displays the value. I'm a software engineer by trade (React + NodeJS), and so my inclination is to build an app using React Native and figure out how to connect it to my blood pressure monitor.

However, I'm thinking about if this can be done over the web with a simple html file and the Google Bluetooth API. My question is, what are people's experiences with building bluetooth-enabled apps on the web? Did you have any security concerns if any? Did you build a web app and decided it was too much effort, and default to building a native/cross-platform app?
Beware the morlocks.
Being "well within their legal rights" does not make it right or moral or good or healthy.

"Environmental groups and residents are also concerned this could harm their community, as the Hudson River is already a federally designated toxic Superfund site. "

“It may only cause a low risk to the environment as far as we know, but there are other options here, and why not try to minimize the harm?”

So they are just adding insult to injury to the Hudson River. (I grew up on the Hudson River so I know its history.) The point is that Holtec does not want to pay for the storage for 24 years and want to externalize their costs onto the local people and environment.

So it ends up being a little tritium here, a little BPA there, and a little PFAS over there, and then no linked to cancer can be drawn to a single thing but still people die and no one is responsible because they are all responsible.
Good to know, thanks for that.

Oh, flutter + rust seems like a great combo. (Because Flutter seems great for UI work, but Dart is very meh for everything else.) Have you tried Tauri or some other Electron-like alternative by any chance? How do you like Flutter+Rust so far, and what's your "baseline"? :)
