Re: publishing, sure you can self publish. But your job at that point is no longer as a writer. Your job is now marketing. The potential for people to see your work is directly related to your ability to sell it and arguably not at all related to your capacity to create it. It's not that good work isn't self published, its that there's nothing to make it stand out from the literary equivalent of drop shipping. The audience can't find it if it isn't being promoted. You're not just competing with every other self published work - from AI generated texts to the branded writing mills of 'authors' who pay drones to push out texts at scale under their name. You're also competing with the entire industry of online entertainment. Every brilliant thing made throughout history available instantly for streaming, purchase or pirating, and sold with every penny big content has to promote it.

As for my own work, I have a small group of friends that I write with in person, and I perform in person occasionally (most recently in the fantastic writers cafe Laidak in Neukoln in Berlin). I'm utterly terrible at marketing, and my work doesn't fit the demographic criteria for contemporary publishing, so you can't find much it anywhere online or off. That's likely true of a whole generation of writers who aren't creating didactic autobiographical morality tales. I don't want to dump stories or books that take months to write into the void of self publishing, but I'm a writer so I still write.

In terms of music - I just spent a few days in Berlin listening to live work at venues like Trixxter. If you're open to experimental live performance there are a whole bunch of scenes in small live venues. Again, not sure how you'd pick it out from the both the dross and the heavily promoted work online.

In terms of film, again my reference is Berlin - there's a whole scene right now that you might call antifilm (I have no idea if it has a formal name). Small films shot verite from life, without a budget, and wilfully rejecting any kind of formal aesthetics (think Dogma on steroids). Wilfully horribly shot on bad cameras, but often incredibly interesting in terms of their engagement with life as its lived now, hauntology, post internet art etc. In terms of specific filmmakers Jean-Michel Brawands work is interesting. There's a whole community around Sputnik Kino and similar small events.

Yeah but for a long time there were many different init systems. There are different packaging systems. There are a huge amount of difference above the very basic tools.

> It's well known that Russia

That's not well known. I wouldn't say it's impossible, Russia plays all kind of games. But do you have any sources?

BTW atomic fuel export from Russia is not sanctioned and does continue. Just this weekend a transport went via Helsinki airport. The destination was not disclosed, but I guess one could find out on flightradar24? The direction points to some Western country.
Kitchens is one, but there's supply issues. My experience is that quality often is indeed lower (so is the price). I'm sure it plays with safety too.

Also lot of people (rightfully) don't trust the supermarkets - my friends were shocked I just buy raw fish in supermarket - no need to find a personal fisherman!
somewhat off-topic, but reminded me of an even older machine (on which "soul of a new machine" book was based) - nthe DG Eclipse. i had to deal with one of these at the BBC Addressing Unit (amazing how much stuff the BBC sends out, mostly for free, to its viewers/listeners). anyway, the DG was on its last diodes, and i replaced it with an Altos (look it up) running unix. mostly good for everyone.
Russia is a major nuclear power user and will happily build a nuclear power plant in your country of choice.
I used to be pro abortion as well. I’m now anti abortion because the science has proven at this point beyond a shadow of a doubt that at conception there is a distinct, DNA-unique human being present. Call it what you want to make yourself feel better if you must, but at the end of the day you’re deciding to kill another human life by choosing abortion.
Easily, yes. It's easy and safe to dispose of, and doesn't take much space at all.

Disposing nuclear waste effectively means putting it under ~3m of water in a place where people won't mess with it.

As of 2016, France has produced 14,000 tons of nuclear waste *in its entire history*. That's about 7 normal olympic swimming pools in total volume.

We have much bigger issues with other forms of waste, nuclear waste has always just been a scaremongering tactic for the anti-nuclear crowd.
> What’s amazing to me is that they didn’t just use a phone call or video chat.

I don't know anything about these specific conversations, but one obvious difference between phone/video and chat is that the former has to synchronous whereas the latter can be async.

Async can be more practical people who are very busy, are travelling, are located in different timezones etc.
Yes, the world can run on renewables. This has become completely clear. And it's likely to end up cheaper than using nuclear, especially when you consider that today's thermal reactors cannot power the world for more than a few years before the cheap uranium runs out.

Europe's problem is that they're not well sited to use solar, compared to places closer to the equator. So heavy industry may move elsewhere. Nuclear will not change this, since solar in those best locations is very cheap.

That's an interesting take on it that I hadn't heard clearly laid out before, thanks!

That makes a lot of sense with regards to anti-abortion being a personal preference rather a stance on what others should do. I can't quite wrap my head around how "pro-choice" doesn't also fall into the trap of being a statement of personal preference, but that probably gets too nitpicky about symantics to be important
It might find a balance point by creating a multitude of sub-cultures and genres. Just look at the Balenciaga meme explosion that happened recently. Those kinds of mashups are becoming incredibly easy and are a rich breeding ground for new ideas.

> nor models with dedicated GPUs

Yeah, those are not high-end laptops; they are premium laptops. Important distinction—premium means price, while high-end means performance.

> The only laptops with HIDPI screens under 2000 € I can think of are the base Mx macbook airs

my own laptop (ROG Zephyrus M15) was around $1300. I regret buying it though, because it sucks terribly, but at least it has a 4K screen.

4K Chromebooks can be had for under $1000 and even as low as $750 in some cases. The ultrabooks (non-ChromeOS) can get even cheaper, but tend to hover around that price range.
Batteries work fine at scale. What they don't do is get you to 100% renewables. But hydrogen can be used for that last 5-10%, and Europe has many petawatt hours of hydrogen storage potential available in salt formations.
I don't think 60 degrees celsius is enough, let alone any residue chemicals, the salt, the rinse aid etc. etc. is healthy. And on top everything smells of fish for weeks? Doesn't sound like a hack to me. Just use your oven, that actually is healthy and foolproof.

'Athleisure', or at least wearing a tracksuit or tracksuit mixed with jeans as a daily driver has been popular since the early 90s. It was popularised by the British rave scene in the late 80! The primary difference now is its pastel coloured.
I live in Germany but am not German. I don't think there's more fear here, compared to the other places I know.

You might say there's a coalition. Several kinds of opposition adding up.

For example, all of the nuclear operators were caught discarding nuclear waste at a construction site some years ago, without either permission or records. The site was supposed to become a storage site, but throwing nuclear waste before it's opened, in places where construction workers will have to work later, and not keeping records? The episode lost trust with the engineering-friendly part of the audience.

If anyone were to seriously suggest building a new plant here, the cost overruns of Hinkley Point C would be a large problem, because another part of the public is really stingy about the public purse.

And so on. It's not all fear of nuclear accidents, it's more of a coalition.
If you're talking about a group of people that makes up 30% of the country and a majority of one side of our two party system, I believe they'd just be "the right" not the far right.
Fireplaces as a heat source is even more polluting than coal based energy as the exhausts are not cleaned.

It is interesting to see how political activism as actively ruining the society by pushing people to worse technologies.
> Why you ask? Well if you need certification, changes become expensive.

Thank god it does, so that you cant just yolo it and “move fast and break things” with mission critical infrastructure.
No, Germany does not go the furthest. Other countries have quit nuclear long ago, e.g. Italy closed all plants in 1990 following a 1987 referendum, i.e. 33 years before Germany. Similarly Lithuania. Denmark already decided in the 1980ies not to build new plants.
I find that there's a lot of people who are threatened by leading people smarter than they are. Why is there so many toxic bosses? Well that's the answer.
> climate change has not yet had an emotional connection

So. I see people around me in climate agony, with one (very smart) friend saying he doesn't want to have any children because of climate misery they will experience.

I, as it happened, have sadly have paid little attention to the numbers side of climate things. So, with the climate change being a widely acknowledged disaster and an unimaginable catastrophe, how would it affect Germany?

This is amazing. Probably the final nail in the coffin of MathML; what’s the point of a non-human readable intermediary language that other higher-level languages get compiled to, that only works in certain browsers (and with browser-dependent rendering/implementation), when you can instead write directly in LaTeX and have KaTeX work identically everywhere?
> Looks nice, but never seen so many rules on file organization. A good media manager would be able to sort that stuff out automatically. Am I missing something?

I feel the same way. It's sort of reminds me of Plex. Why are they making the same mistakes (regarding file-organization) as Plex?!

The thing is everyone has different ideas about how files should be named and organized. Plex really wants you to name your media files in a particular way, and I find that annoying.

After all, the Plex server maintains a database.

One should be able to point Plex to ANY media file, with ANY filename in ANY accessible filepath, fill in metadata and organizational tags for that media, and have that info useable by the client. But for whatever reason, Plex instead enforces weird naming conventions on your actual filenames and practically forces people to use software like filebot to mass-rename files.

It doesn't help, of course, that media file formats are a jungle with unreliable garbage meta-data in the files and widely varying limitations on what you can put in there.
This is a surprisingly well-written science article for a business magazine. It helps that a physicist wrote it.

Maybe only looking at the increase of energy production from coal is a bit short-sighted, though. Running a large number of nuclear plants could undermine the impetus to sufficiently and timely invest into expanding renewable energy production and the related infrastructure.

Of course, it is quite some gamble, but if Germany gets it done as planned they will have a competitive advantage in a couple of decades, while other countries are struggling with aging nuclear plants and cost explosions for new ones. France is already an example for both issues.
Even more so in the mid 70s to mid 80s.

> they hear "nuclear catastrophe averted", when they should hear "we love to see more coal burned, more radiation released, and accelerate climate change".

I don't think either of those are necessarily true. It could very well be that Greenpeace sees nuclear as a vestige of the non-renewable past and that they wish to remove hindrances that slow down the further acceptance of the fact that we will have to bet heavily on renewables if we are to make it out of this. The problem with strawmen of your own making is that they can be cut down by others just as easily as you could do so yourself. Greenpeace is obviously not pro-coal and the resulting release in radiation, they would have much rather seen that instead of building these nuclear plants in the first place the money that went into them had gone into renewables instead, which would have had a more positive impact on climate change in the longer term. Besides, coal isn't the only replacement fuel for the drop in nuclear capacity, which wasn't all that large to begin with so this is a bit of a FUD argument, especially given that after the studies that showed the amount of radioactivity released through fly ash there have been substantial efforts made to contain the exhaust and capture the fly ash (electrostatically, for instance).

But the pro-nuclear faction is now equating less nuclear with more coal in an attempt to greenwash nuclear power. Chernobyl was as good as it gets for an accident of that scale, Fukushima closed the door as far as Germany was concerned. And France is an accident away from having a real problem because they are quite dependent on nuclear power and if the tide ever turns there they will have a real problem catching up.

Germany, meanwhile has a pretty high percentage of renewables already:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy_in_Germany

And given the amount of funds they are pumping into renewables they may well end up ahead of their schedule (in part due to the drop in Russian natural gas).

If anything here in NL the war in Ukraine has given a massive impetus to the transition from fossil to renewables and I hope the effect of that lasts long enough to get us to the finish line.
The nuclear option there is nonexistent because of how long it takes to build nuclear power plants. The only real option is continued expansion of renewable sources. That's also the cheapest option.

Ignoring that machines can't be smart (as Lecun knows full well),

Most people do feel threatened leading people smarter than them. It's a very rare leadrship quality to be able to defer to "subordinates" and genuinely accept that they know more. It does happen, but it's far more common for people to feel threatened and at best defer because they think they don't have time but could themselves do better than the subordinate given the opportunity.

That's heartbreaking. I volunteered at a place in Templebar called Exchange Dublin from 2010 - 2013, forcibly closed by the council on spurious grounds (along with dozens of other spaces) in 2014. We hosted literally thousands of DIY gigs, exhibitions, storytelling events, interest groups, hardware and software hackathons each year. All donation based, often free. People - tourists and locals alike loved it. The city came alive because of such places, and now they're gone Dublin is a pretty grim environment.

Hate to hear about the same happening in other places - and for exactly the same causes. One of many reasons we need to decommodify housing, before we recreate serfdom.

From the BBC News article on smart motorways being scrapped, smart motorways can fall in to three categories:

* controlled, which have a permanent hard shoulder, but use technology such as variable speed limits to adjust traffic flows

* dynamic, where the hard shoulder can be opened up at peak times and used as an extra lane; when this happens, the speed limit is reduced to 60mph

* all-lane running, where the hard shoulder has been permanently removed to provide an extra lane; emergency refuge areas are provided at regular intervals for cars that get into trouble

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-65288852

IMO there shouldn't be any objections to "controlled" smart motorways. All lane running is idiotic; dynamic running is OK but I would say that the speed limit needs to be lowered from 60 mph.

As an aside: British drivers have terrible lane discipline on motorways ("middle lane hogging"), which eats up road capacity for no good reason. There's plenty of variable message signs on motorways - they should display "Keep left unless overtaking" if there's no other message to be displayed.

Yes, the court order applies indiscriminately to all records no matter why or how they were made.
