This is a complete non sequitur. It does not matter that the mixed waste is less radioactive than the spent nuclear fuel. The mixed waste is radioactive, and it will continue to be for more than 10000 years, according to the EPA. Spent fuel from civilian reactors is even more radioactive. So what? How is this relevant?

We found a technological and political solution to the mixed waste. It is being buried in a very deep salt mine in New Mexico. The amount of mixed waste dwarfs the amount of civilian spent nuclear fuel. Therefore we could bury the SNF in the same place.

What of these things are you denying?
The Difficulty Ratio
Industry? Nope, there's always someone in every space willing to take blood money.

Company? I can think of a few private, small companies with morals and a sustainable business model who wouldn't take SA money if it was a gift. But those kinds of businesses aren increasingly hard to find in the current climate of late stage capitalism.

Maybe they know, and it's a better business model for them. I don't know how the costs break down. Anti-consumer shenanigans cost money -- first they have to be engineered, then it probably generates a certain amount of after market support issues even when it works perfectly.

Tab hoarding is caused mostly by there being nothing less cumbersome/annoying to manage than bookmarks. The tabs that get kept around are often important enough to want to keep around, but not so important as to be worth dealing with cleaning up bookmarks later. This is especially true for task-associated “to do” tabs that will no longer be needed when the task is completed.

The other reason is because for a lot of people “out of sight, out of mind” is very true and so if they bookmark their tabs, the bookmarks will then gather cobwebs as they’re forgotten about shortly after bookmarking. Tabs don’t have this problem because they’re right there in your face all the time reminding you of their existence, meaning they actually get dealt with.

> then they're capital equipment aka automation, which doesn't substitute for labor and in practice increases employment by making labor more productive.

Not if the institutions can't handle the challenge of moderating price stability without decreasing demand, as they're doing right now. The alternatives would be to demur or tax. So that capital is relatively distributed. If capital isn't distributed, people won't be paying people to do stuff because they won't have capital.

It's a continuous version of suffrage. Markets are effectively a distributed consensus mechanism, but if voting power isn't widely distributed, people don't won't have the ability to allocate time and resources as needed. Authority becomes concentrated then into relatively few hands.

Can you imagine a technology comes along that could 1000x the productivity of all information workers and your first reaction is to reduce demand for labor instead of softening adjusting the distribution of capital so that demand can grow in a more healthily distributed way?

You need sustained higher profit margins to make that claim.

In the short term, I expect profit margins to increase for goods experiencing supply / demand shocks due to market participants trying to figure out which way supply and demand curves are moving, and in shortage scenarios, buyers willing to pay more than necessary to secure the goods.
If the fossil record showed that life were a sickly invalid, perhaps. However, it shows the opposite: life is irrepressible, dynamic, and endlessly adaptable. There is no evidence of Earth languishing sterile for eons before getting lucky with abiogenesis.

Instead we find signs of life on Mars, such as a face next to a vitruvian pyramid. This indicates that life did not start on Earth due to its unique Moon, but that the Moon was parked in a precise orbit by unknown earthly life. Abundant terrestrial indicators corroborate this hypothesis, forming a pattern of covert interference.

The correct threat assessment on AI, therefore, is that it is too vulnerable to hostile non-human manipulation to be trusted with strategic WMDs.

It is an acceleration of the problem inherently posed by WMDs: Achieve international peace or we will all perish together. Why wouldn't the galaxy let such things play out? Nobody wants another warlike species bursting into their neighborhood.

There's a really great book called Consciousness and the Brain that goes into all the various research around how our brain works, and there is a huge amount that we think of as "thinking" that is totally unconscious to us.

I just get agitated thinking about things, go do something for a while, then my unconscious "me" is suddenly like, "ok, here's the understanding".

The thing is, there is a solid community-positive reason to allow 1:1 clones. Or there should be.

What it should be encouraging is the formation of new companies whose only product is the clone; they don't have the product development overhead when they're setting out their stall. Those companies can then use the cloned design as a cashflow springboard for their own designs as a second phase. There is nothing wrong with that as a business model.

However, that's not what we see. What we see is clones being denigrated as valueless rip-offs, so people who might otherwise get into business by that route are dissuaded from doing so.

That attitude is absolutely reinforced by blog posts like this. Play stupid games, get stupid prizes.

The printer talks PCL and works with anything I’ve tried including Linux.
Good point. Most of New England is just not that cold any more.

Where I live in Northern New England, we got down to -20, almost -30 during that cold snap. And had a lot of sustained 0-ish temps throughout the winter. I wouldn't be comfortable using only a heat pump as a fuel source in my 1800s house. But I suspect it would likely keep the pipes from freezing.

My relationship might not survive it, though. Better to keep the propane heat source for now :)

Engineers are pragamtic as profession. Managers are glorified sales, their primary product is selling their team and move the goal post forward.

As as a software engineer, I'd rather buy my next car from an engineer who designed it rather than anyone else in the chain. Not because we speak similar languages but because I know that engineer will happily list ever bit of that makes them feel uncomfortable.

Engineers main task is to physically make something.

Even in software engineering something is being physically built up to run the software. We decided to call this the cloud because we let sales people define it. It ain't a cloud, you cannot fly a plane through it.

Construction is the one step that cannot be easily cheated. The machinery we build today is massive and complex so while the bureaucracy prevents a single engineer from addressing the issues, they are position to see see it.

My first question for a rocket company isn't the CEO's confidence. It is, would engineer #134 use this product with their families? Would you entrust the lives of our children to what you've built?
This is like saying there are a few engineers who wouldn’t work for Monsanto, Palantir etc for any amount of money. Sure there are, but they are too few to make any meaningful difference.

For comparison, running an internal combustion engine causes chemical changes in the engine. There will be a reduction of certain hydrocarbons in the fuel tank, and an increase in simple hydrocarbons in the exhaust manifold, as well as a reduction of chemicals in the inlet manifold.

Perhaps in future scientists will find a way to restore the chemical balance in internal combustion engine systems, thus keeping them at peak performance for longer.

(In other words: The Economist's article is rather light on actual useful details. The same kind of story applies to a very wide range of topics. It might be more helpful to read the actual scientific article.

Privately, some of my most productive development has been when my girlfriend and I had separate apartments. I'd spend days working on problems undisturbed at my place, and then I'd go visit her for a few days (bringing no computer).

I always came back to my apartment full of inspiration, with half a notebook full of ideas and plans, which I'd spend the next days implementing, while spawning new background jobs that would mature the next time I was AFK. Rinse and repeat.

Something about this set-up was just insanely good for my productivity. I was much more productive than periods I didn't have these forced breaks away from input.

In my experience, job titles and capabilities rarely goes hand in hand. Seniority (junior, senior, principal) is sometimes projected to titles (web dev, developer, engineer) making it all the more confusing.

The Agony of Putting Your Life on Hold to Care for Your Parents
Thanks, very cool reference, was not aware of these. I as a lifelong NYC resident have long thought the subway tracks are a singularly underutilized resource. We should have the capability now to deploy a fleet of autonomous small scale people movers, 3 to 5 people per, available for private scheduling and point to point travel, without having to make any changes to the existing ancient and decrepid signalling system. Would be revolutionary.
These are low priority objections.

This is a thread about search quality, and neither of your objections lower search quality.

Further, neither of the objections makes any difference in the practical world where Google ties the search terms to your account, and you don't have to log in to search, in the same sense that you don't log in to Google to have your search terms tied to you. After using kagi, then you just use kagi, and they don't save your terms.

Finally, Google has assertions in the TOS you agreed to about what they can do with your searches. So does Kagi. If you do care about search terms tied to you, you're welcome to read those and understand who has concern or liability for what aspects of your privacy.

This seems to match my experience. I'll pile on a hypothesis of my own:

When we encounter a new problem, our brain spans a decision tree of assumptions from the closest known solution to a similar problem. The area around this tree is searched depth-first, which often brings good results (e.g. thinking about whether you'll put some threshold value at 0.2 or 0.25), but it's best at refinement. The more time passes and the more different things you do, the more the search is moved into breadth-first (which makes intuitive sense - the deeper the tree, the more processing power would have to be put towards it). Often times we literally cannot conceive a good solution to a problem, because our brain is focusing on finding the right deep leaf of the wrong subtree!

Ask HN: Best cloud GPU solution for inference API?
I want to build an API that runs Stable Diffusion (txt2img, img2img, etc).
I'm not an expert in ML but I've studied a lot recently and my understanding is:
- I can't use the AUTOMATIC1111 api because it doesn't support multiple requests
- Generally, one GPU will only serve one request, so I shouldn't use a cloud GPU server and build my own API
- Serverless is the way to go then, but cold starts are a problem and it takes a long time to run a model

Also I want to note that I know there's some services that run SD out of the box as API, but I'm not interested in them as I need to make specific changes to my model.

My current best attempt is banana.dev, I have pushed my model as cog adapted to Docker, but it is quite slow and the service seems to under a lot of stress lately, sometimes taking 1+ min even to return an initial response (not with the generated image, just a response to say that it started the job)

Another option is replicate.com but it's quite expensive and slow too.

Are those the best current options or can I do something better, with more work on my side?
I have found stochastic.ai and modals.com but would like some opinions before I start building adapter for these services.
