what is france doing with all the waste? it's a country a little bit larger than california is with a bit more population... i suppose we could find a way to store all that waste in california somewhere since it is a big state with large swaths of land that are uninhabited.

my dream is to have the main reactors give a lot of the power and then have smaller reactors that use those waste products to turn them into shorter half-lived materials. if i recall correctly liquid salt thorium was something that was trying to do that and it also had the feature that it failed safe instead of a meltdown.

> Cars instructed to circle the block in areas with no parking clogging the streets. You'll need a self driving car yourself to even get a spot since you'll never defeat all the robot vultures.

Why do you think this would happen? Self-driving cars are poised to dramatically improve parking overall. One can be dropped off exactly at their destination, and the car can then go elsewhere. Even an elsewhere of "somewhere 5 minutes away" is a large amount of potential parking in a typical urban environment. Additionally, any existing parking lot that chooses to only accept self-driving vehicles instantly gets additional capacity: self-driving cars could cooperatively pack/unpack themselves into space efficient configurations.

And if your counter is "a minority of selfish entitled people", the answer to that is "laws and regulations". Self-driving cars will have to follow the laws of wherever they're driving. If your "circling the block" apocalypse comes to pass, the mitigation would literally be a law/regulation that self-driving cars would have to obey.

Am I the only one for whom this kind of thing is painful to read?

I am kinda curious though about the kind of personality type that enjoys this kind of stuff.

Of course, I have never heard of "Keycloak" before, so I checked their homepage:

"No need to deal with storing users or authenticating users."

Wait a second, is dealing with storing users and authenticaing them _so much pain_ that you rather inflict yourself with the pain of setting up and managing a k8s cluster?

I seriously don't get it.
Bringing disruption to your company's 90% revenue generator product without proving the alternative's financial model is not a career-enhancing move.

I was trying for 20 minutes to get it to spit out all 50 state capitals with the city names in alphabetical order and it kept doing two things:

1) It'd put the list in alphabetical order by state, but it'd include all the correct capitals

2) It'd list 49 of the 50 capitals, in alphabetical order this time, but duplicating Madison, WI.

I'd ask it to try and figure out what it did wrong in both cases, and it'd correctly identify the mistake, but then repeat it.

Not sure how I got there eventually, but on about the 7th or 8th attempt, it got it right.

> I'm sure most of us want to launch him into the sun

I'm wondering what makes you so sure about it and why you are so eager to project your own opinion into "most of us"

My personal opinion is that whole twitter drama is really unimportant, yes, twitter is unimportant. Other kind of advancements: Tesla which sparked EV movement, batteries, spacex - materialized grand visions moving forward the world as whole.

TBH I'm kind of puzzled about negative perception about him - especially when it comes from his countrymen because I think that US really gets a lot of value added thanks to him (I'm not from US so might not "read the room" well enough) - looking objectively his companies brought to US hundred of thousands of jobs and not only this kind where selected few at the top in the SV benefits the most - apart form software/design/services positions in hard, modern, advanced manufacturing appeared as well.
And it seems like he is a human like most of us and makes mistakes sometimes.

They can't even get a standard way to cast your phone onto the screen in the car. It's just a fucking touch screen, and we can't figure that out because Apple and Google just can't let some portion of the money go and make their user's lives better. They have to have all the money or none of the money, and if they can't get all of it, then fuck you. Car manufacturers also won't even put in any sort of standards just so that I can upgrade the terrible stereo that comes in even the nicest of cars. God forbid they put a 2 cent RCA jack on the back of the stereo, maybe give you a read-only connection to the CAN-bus to display some data, and a rectangular hole in the dash (where the ugly ass screen is going to go anyways).
The fact that Germany decarbonised so much, so fast and so cheaply and without nuclear power appears to have made a lot of people very angry.

Unlike Poland, who quietly powers itself with 80% coal and attracts very little flak because 1) it didn't make the nuclear industry look unnecessary 2) it preferred to burn coal over gas from America's main geopolitical rival.

> Am I the only person who is exhausted with news outlets disingenuously comparing the US to all other individual countries as if that is a fair comparison

They do this tirelessly with health, education, etc... They do it because this is how some people understand the world; a series of orthogonal comparisons thought of as one through false comparison. It's an exercise of marginalizing the readers understanding of competing arguments. Instead of thinking analytically about the arguments and the situation at hand, the reader is invited to think, "This problem is solved, and thus so should be yours."

People say IQ is "heritable" all the time, but it's easy to say that without giving any evidence that one understands what heritability means. Lots of things are heritable and not genetically determined, and there are things that are absolutely genetically determined that aren't really heritable.

If you're going to build a whole chain of logic, one that attempts to solve racism somewhere in the middle and ends with the "demon-haunted world of religion", it's useful to clearly define your terms first.
The A.I. Dilemma – March 9, 2023 (Center for Humane Technology)
Yeah, but did they fail to build the right things...or did they just write bad code that didn't work? I would assume the former, but you're right, it's hard to quantify.
My CEO said something the other day at an all-hands, someone asked what concerns him and he said velocity and then followed it up with not that we're moving slowly but rather he's worried we're building fast just in the wrong direction. I think this happens a lot.
I can't think of a single company that failed because they didn't have unit tests, or they chose the wrong DB. I'm sure they're out there, maybe, but it's more common you're going to fail because you built the wrong thing vs the code wasn't tested, no?

I imagine Apple will have to accelerate planned obsolescence (maybe dropping from 7 to 5 years of OS and security updates) to make analysts happy. ;-/

There is some amusement in that if we manage to build various AGI, these aspects will tend to get drastically worse rather than better. They'll be exceptional at fraud, cheating, lying, stealing, manipulation. Far beyond anything humans have ever managed.

"Individual differences in intelligence tend to cluster in families" [1].

There are studies which include "parents in a twin design." They found "no significant shared environmental influence [between the adoptive and non-adoptive children]: all variance could be explained by additive genetic factors and environmental factors that are not shared by children raised in the same family" with "significant genetic transmission for intelligence...found at all ages" (§ 1.3).

This is a common misconception.

The longer the half-life, the less radioactive something is. By definition.

Something with a half-life of "tens or hundreds of millenia" is not very radioactive.

Something with a half-life of infinity is not radioactive at all.

The really dangerous stuff tends to be isotopes like iodine-131 (half-life 8 days, accumulates in the thyroid gland), strontium-90 (half-life of about 29 years, accumulates in the bones).
All those reactors might have been great in the 80s, but with cheap solar and wind available, it makes no sense to sink that kind of money into a more expensive solution.

France is also in the middle of experiencing a huge amount of maintenance costs due to many of their reactors coming up to critical age milestones. But it's often hidden under the massive layers of obfuscation due to being masked under the total French energy budget.

Non-dispatchable renewable require backup power as long as we don't have large scale storage, which we don't. So it's comparing apple to oranges. Let's hope that we get such storage sometime soon since it looks like it's the assumption everybody's making. Otherwise we'll still be burning gas and coal as long as we can get our hands on them when NREs are not generating, making the climate worse in the process.

Sorry I’m not going to whip a metaanalysis together for you to refute your flippant HN comment.

I think "coordinate with all the other robot cars in the area and pick a place where it won't create traffic" is pretty unlikely to happen. Tesla will do their own version of that which only negotiates with other Teslas, GM will do one that sends all cars to the wrong city, and Waymo will have their cars perform some optimal algorithm that is somehow incompatible with any human drivers they encounter.
Any service mesh will integrate with any OpenID provider. It’s a token verification and a redirect.

That’s kind of how online forums work, right? People make points such as “Party B’s rebuttal to Party A misses the larger picture”—without necessarily reiterating Party A’s point

And as noted above—Hassan’s rebuttal seems equally if not more mistaken. Taibbi is being sloppy with the definition of “flag.” But the end result—in terms of what happens if a flagged tweet is removed—is closer to Taibbi’s characterization.

> "I began to think 'what do I have to lose?' So decided to do a 14 week coding bootcamp which taught me the foundations of python and SQL."

14 weeks is barely a semester. "Some python" with SQL will soon be in the realm of what ChatGPT can do. How long until the industry doesn't need a lot of coders with basic grasp on the language and no domain specific knowledge? Remember all the people coding simple HTML websites and customizing PHP templates in the early 00's? How many of them were replaced by Shopify/SquareSpace/Wix?

What I hate about these articles, is that it conflates "coders" with little more than in intro class at a serious university with professional software engineers. In the current environment I would not sell the idea to someone that a 3 months course can lead them into a viable career long term (from what I've seen, if they meet the hiring bar they typically leave the industry not long after).
Not taking into account seasonal storage makes the comparison of nuclear and NREs not pertinent.

> there are still pro nuclear lobbies DESPERATE to hold on.

First, caps don't make right. I believe NREs help in getting emissions down to a point, but since you need backup power I am not seeing it working at 80% production share. In order to emissions to get to zero I believe nuclear makes sense on the longer term.
Your reply is coming across as you doubling down on your assumption.

If I was looking to spin up a beautiful server-side rendered website quickly without worrying about all the boilerplate code, I would use the React framework that I built called Elegant.

I have been contracted to standup a new React application complete with user guides and landing pages numerous times in recent years. I found that there wasn’t a simple React framework yet that took care of all of the reusable boilerplate code, and allowed you to build an expressive and professional website.

In a more recent project, I was contracted by a startup to build out a React frontend, complete with a user guide and blog. We ended up using Next.js, Docusaurus, and Wordpress to get a quick MVP out the door. This was a pretty good distributed setup, but I knew there had to be a better way to have everything under one project.

Elegant is a fully scaffolded React frontend built with Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and MDX Loader.

Elegant allows me to prototype a quick MVP, and throw it up online super fast by only modifying the .env config file. It’s lightening fast, and already outperforms any Wordpress site. It has a near perfect SEO score, and this is just the beginning.

I’m planning a SHOW HN soon to see what everyone’s thoughts are.

To bring it back to the point: The article claimed that “NLLB (No Language Left Behind) has been open sourced by Facebook”, which is misleading, since “open source” has a strict definition, and the license of NLLB did not qualify with the very first point in the OSI Open Source Definition. Facebook released the source code, under an open license; they could even call it a Creative Commons license, which it was. But the article can’t truthfully call it “open source”, since it isn’t.

I wonder if one couldn't identify the time it takes for the battery to get to some low point (50%?) and then determine the order of magnitude draw they would be looking for. 75mA would take a long time (I think) to drain the battery to where starter can't turn over (like a week?).

I was laid off last year.

It felt like betrayal, it was hard to see it as a rational business decision and not take it personally - I shared a job title with 5 other employees, one of whom was hired less than a year ago - and I was the only one laid off.

It was a good reminder, ultimately, not to get complacent - I wasn’t worrying too much about money because I was making plenty of it. I was coasting when I didn’t have any business doing so. I should have been grinding.

It took me a couple months to overcome the emotional / psychological stuff - months wasted, when I should have been aggressively applying for every social service and hardship accommodation I could get my hands on, even ones I wasn’t sure I qualified for. I should have done that the first week.

I also should have immediately taken anything to start working again, while continuing to look for a more ideal position - instead of starting out with high standards and then slowly lowering them as time passed. I should have started trawling for freelance work that same week, instead of waiting months.

That’s most of the lesson I think - don’t get complacent, and when you do get laid off, hit the ground running. It takes a lot of work to get secure and comfortable again, and the longer you put it off the longer it’ll be til you’re square.
also commercially it is not in the benefit of the car to waste fuel circling around, instead of parking
