There's still a lot of hatred towards Middle Eastern people because 'they're all terrorists', although it seems to me that has died down a bit. From the posts of a local Arab woman I'm friends with on Facebook, it still seems pretty bad here, just not quite as blatant anymore.

Chinese hate ramped up again since 2020, with all the talk about them being the enemy of the US on the right and many people blaming the country for Covid-19.

And while I think most people try not to hold anything against the Russian people for the Russian invasion of Ukraine, (especially Russians that have left the country), there will quite a few that won't. I can imagine if you're Ukranian you probably will struggle to be friendly with any Russian right now, for example.
If you are optimizing for an end goal rather than enjoying the process... What is that goal? Why does it matter?
Wikipedia has sources:

"While most nuclear power plants in operation as of early 2000's were already designed with strong load following capabilities, they might have not been used as such for purely economic reasons: nuclear power generation is composed almost entirely of fixed and sunk costs so lowering the power output doesn't significantly reduce generating costs, so it is more effective to run them at full power most of the time.[10][11]"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load-following_power_plant

France using Nuclear Power for load following is more a signal that they'd misjudged and significantly overbuilt nuclear capacity, not that it's a good idea. EDF has overwhemling financial problems and went spectacularly bankrupt in large part because unlike with, say, solar and wind - that spare capacity is very, very, very expensive.

tl;dr - as I said before, you technically can do it but it's absurdly expensive and just not worth it.
Just as a general response to the objections to this:

The goal was to use XOR and PARITY as simple tasks and formal languages that exhibit a larger problem with the architecture. The unfortunate side-effect of this is that the most straightforward thing to relate them to are human reasoning tasks like arithmetic, for which the most straightforward thing to say is then: "We use calculators too!". Or worse, over-focusing on the PARITY problem, specifically.

The PARITY problem requires a kind of circuit that flips a bit on and off alternatively whenever we see a '1'/ signal. Is there a subconscious process that we employ in our brains that implements this circuit? Might some aspects of linguistic processing require this? (Michael Hahn brings up 'iterated negation' here: https://direct.mit.edu/tacl/article/doi/10.1162/tacl_a_00306...)

All this to say, maintaining and updating latent state may be an implicit requirement for certain tasks, and that would be more likely learned from data than from an explicit prompt or outsourcing to a calculator.
So we’ll just be taking pills for everything ?

> Firstly, it's not cheap compared to modern solar and that trend is likely to continue.

Only if you omit cost of energy storage infrastructure and grid upgrades necessary for VRE.

> Secondly, it's not a responsive source of electricity - so you can't modulate the output easily.

Repeated often by nuclear critics even though there's evidence out there of German nuclear modulating load within 24 hours.

> Fourthly, as we found last year, during heat waves rivers can run dry causing a shortage of water to cool the plants forcing them to go offline.

French powerplants did not go offline last summer, a few of them that lack sufficient cooling tower infrastructure had to eject hotter than usual water into rivers.
Sounds similar to the "digital concierge" thing that was posted here last week.

I'd say it another way - everything that's challenging has been commoditized and is available from your choice of public cloud providers. You've identified new special sauce opportunities for Google, the question is can these new opportunities generate as much revenue as they'd been enjoying?
Yeah slowing down cars "naturally" by using narrower roads and roundabouts, and then built lots of non-signalled pedestrian crossings (sometimes with bumps) have been a trend for some time. The data seems to support it works.

Do you write clean code? Check it out
Greetings everyone on Hacker News! Today, I want to share with you my GitHub repository, which contains heuristics rules from Robert Martin's "Clean Code" book. The idea of creating this repository came to me while reading the book when I realized that I would like to have all these rules at my fingertips in a convenient format.

If you work in programming, you are probably familiar with this book. It is a valuable source of information and advice on how to write understandable and clean code. In my repository, I have collected these rules in a wiki format in three languages - English, Russian, and Ukrainian, so that everyone can easily familiarize themselves with them and apply them in their work.

In addition, most of the rules are supported by code examples in C# and Java. These examples are named and numbered according to the corresponding rules they demonstrate. The code also contains comments that further illustrate the rules.

Moreover, it is very convenient to copy links to specific rules and share them with everyone. For example, if you want to share a link to the "Use Explanatory Variables" rule, you can copy the link and send it to your colleague.

I hope that my repository will be useful for everyone who wants to improve their programming skills and write cleaner and more understandable code. "Heuristics for Clean Code" will evolve and be supplemented with examples in other programming languages. I look forward to your feedback and suggestions and hope that you will find my repository useful.

Link to the repository: https://github.com/SaintZet/HeuristicsForCleanCode

Wishing you successful coding and don't forget that code is art!

Bundling licenses was what finally levered our management to Azure at a previous job. They didn't care what the OpEx was as long insane MSSQL license costs went down -- and they did. Azure was a PITA in all other ways, but they achieved that metric.

Conversely, cars made it possible to:

- Live outside of dense urban environments while still working in one

- Travel to visit friends and family not living down the street

- Not be dependent on shaky public transport infrastructure (US)

- Travel where public transport isn't available

Everyone owning a car might not be the most efficient or pleasant solution, but certainly there are more productive attitudes to have than "cars are bad and I hate cars because they're bad".

US certainly has its share of horrible cities.

That said, US is a collection of regions with very different social setups and it is easy to move between them. It is common, as preferences change, for youngsters to live for a few years in one state, settle to raise children in another, then move as empty-nesters to third.

If safety is what one is after, one can find a place that is super safe, comparable on safety to anywhere in the world. Someone else would aim for nightlife instead. This flexibility is what makes US very livable for me. Just my 2c.

For those kind of roundabouts you add signals to the pedestrian crossing. Although above a certain size tunnels or bridges becomes justifiable, but then we are pretty far from urban environments.
It's not a great question and I'll explain what business is then you will understand.

Paul Graham famously said that success is selling something people want. Period.

A lot of "ideas guys" might have an idea that seems good but straight away, you will need the skills to really prove the concept, to refine it, to pivot if necessary, to take advice lightly, to understand the industry and competitors.

Once you start selling, you might need better sales people or no sales people. You might need marketing but you might not. There are two ultimate requirements for success: 1) You do whatever you need to do to make the business succeed (spend in the right places, change, stop doing stuff etc.) and 2) You need to be able to hire a good team that can make this happen.

So the reason the question is not good is that you are asking about a specific tool rather than the top-level skills that everyone needs.

Caveat: Some people succeed without being great; some people who are great fail. Business is scary, not everyone can do it and being tough and confrontational is a skill that needs to be there to deal with everything else.

Good luck!
Commenters seem to be dismissing this concept outright while ignoring the fact that the owners of these robots, through corporate schemes, offshoring, and legal tax manipulation, end up paying 0-10% tax compared to 20-45% taxes paid by human workers currently.

It is not a zero-sum calculation and AI/robots represent a huge transfer of social wealth (taxes collected for use by society) to the rich.

This "income tax for robots" idea is one of Bill Gates' ideas that has been kicking around for over a decade, and will surely fall victim to the same type of loopholes the rich presently exploit.

Yanis Varoufakis has been criticizing this Gates approach and proposing an alternative concept which he calls Universal Basic Dividend. Under this scheme, the use of automation to generate capital would be socialized through the generation of shares, say 10% ownership of the firms which utilize automation to replace labor, which are owned by a public trust which distributes dividends from the firm's profit to every human in the country equally.
I saw the project name and my first impression was gpt4 based. Having a pun or wordplay with an appeal to virtue doesn’t make it not misleading. It’s misleading. Rethink.

How about calling it GPTJ4All which is more honest, or if you think you will transcend GPTJ, GPTForAll? Or GPT”4”All?

If you want to target people who care about Apache 2.0 licensing, you should listen to the same people who tell you the name is offensive and scammy-seeming. Otherwise you alienate half your initial target market before you even start. It is not too late to accept feedback and change the name. My 2 cents.

AI companies can't use the law to force me to pay them. Governments can and do.

When one speaks about Right to Repair, one needs to consider also ability to test the software to verify that nothing else was broken.

This means access to the software testing suite used by the software provider.

Unfortunately, the software testing suite is not considered by the various GPL licenses to be part of the source code, even though it would help safely modifying the software in question.

An example: Oracle keeps control over Java by not making its Java certification test suite publicly available.

Democracy being complete scam is also being promoted as a single true government form. It’s actually worse than communism.

I’m actually seeing this a lot lately. Maybe a bit of American self-doubt starting to show ?

I’ve really noticed the last few weeks especially a bit of a “Maybe China has it right” attitude.

My theory is maybe it’s the fear of job losses making people think twice about the free market capitalist society actually being a wise thing to be part of once you’re no longer as required as in the past ? Just general disillusionment ?

I actually agree with you btw , what we have does not work anymore, it’s not solving the problems of today.
Github is not on Azure? TIL
I would say suburbs are smaller communities next to a major city. Most inhabitants usually work in the city, and the suburb is clustered around a center with the town-hall, activities like an ice-cream shop, and a mass-transit connection to the city center. They also have an easy connection to a major road/highway taking you to the city. The connection to the city is easy and commuting expected. The suburb is similar to a town in a sense that it is self-sufficient with a school, pharmacy and one, two restaurants, but with few cultural activities due to the competition from the city. Inhabitants spend most of their time in the suburb and children grow up there, but due to easy access to the city people living in the suburb often go into the city to shop, go into a cinema, meet friends or into a museum/theatre. The symbiosis with the city differentiate the suburb to an adjacent smaller town.

> While most nuclear power plants in operation as of early 2000's were already designed with strong load following capabilities, they might have not been used as such

Again. Very, very VERY slowly:

--- start quote ---

Nuclear power plants in France and in Germany operate in load-following mode

--- end quote ---

And these countries have more power plants than the rest of Europe.

If you bothered to read the report, and not just wikipedia, you'd see graphs for plants built as early as 1978 happily operating in load-following mode. E.g. Unterweser, commissioned in 1978, operated between 700 MW and 1400 MW per day in load-following mode. Same for Grohnde (commissioned in 1984). Etc.
What's always missing from this discussions is mention of the social norms of the upper middle class who do the bulk of the new car buying and who's preferences determine the shape of the new and used car market. Sure, the CAFE rules are dumb but the behavior of the people who who are spending $50k on midsize pickups and $40k on electric sedans can't solely be explained by a nudge at the margins of tax policy.

As long as the people who's demands and preferences do the lions share of shaping the new car market act like stuffing two car seats into anything less than a 3-row SUV or hauling bulk material on a tarp in a station wagon/crossover is some large burden SUVs/crossovers and pickups will continue to fly off the metaphorical shelves. And this is a self-reinforcing pattern. If people feel like buying a lot of vehicle is the kind of thing that successful white collar professionals do then that's what people with that kind of money will do, at least at the margins.

Aye, AD rules the roost, as does O365 and being able to lock down work laptops.

DRY is priceless, and if your argument is to avoid DRY in very specific cases, state that specifically.

DRY, when used with functional, well named code is the number one thing keeping a codebase easy to read. There should be one way to achieve something well-defined like save/edit/delete an entity, check a file type, url encode a string, etc.

This ALWAYS leads to much easier code fixes AND much easier refactoring.
