Nothing wrong per se, it's just a logistical nightmare.

The other day Finland finally connected its latest nuclear power plant - Olkiluoto 3 to the grid. It will play a crucial role in securing the country's access to energy.

Took 18 years instead of the 5 originally planned and €11bln instead of €3bln.

Mind you, it was still worth it, but given the upfront cost it's hard to work on several such projects in parallel.

And this here is a success story - Hinkley Point C is still in development despite consuming over £30bln.

China is doing great regarding nuclear, but after 20 years of intensive development they still don't have the capacity of France - a country with a single digit percentage fraction of the population.
Ok this makes sense, thanks for the clarification.
I recently decided to move our cash into money market funds and built https://moneymarket.fun/ to help find the highest yielding ones. Right now WMPXX is 4.9% on WellsTrade with no minimum investment. Several other options all > 4.8% as well on various other brokerages.

Why should we assume that won't lead to a rabbit hole of misunderstanding or outright hallucination? If it doesn't know what "correct" really is, even infinite levels of supervision and reinforcement might still be toward an incorrect goal.

Easy, first of all, if he was anti-OOP, he wouldn't have added any of it.

Secondly, what he added is enough for doing OOP in Clojure, in fact, very few OOP languages support everything that CLOS allows for, and that doesn't make them less OOP.

> You can technically run them in load following mode

The quote literally is: "Nuclear power plants in France and in Germany operate in load-following mode".

Edit: the requirements are literally "For example, according to the current version of the European Utilities Requirements (EUR) the NPP must at least be capable of daily load cycling operation between 50% and 100 % of its rated power Pr, with a rate of change of electric output of 3-5% of Pr per minute."

I still have a Blackberry Key 2 that I use for development. Awesome little phone: https://www.theverge.com/2018/6/27/17504714/blackberry-key2-...

Fully android with a nice keyboard that was even touch-sensitive, so you could run your finger across it to scroll. Absolute game-changer, for me at least. I have been wanting someone to add a touch-sensitive volume rocker that I could use the touch-sensitivity for scrolling since at least 2008, so having it show up as a proof of the concept on a keyboard was excellent. Of course, it still sucks that no one has actually made a touch-sensitive volume rocker with those dual functionalities.

Anyway, phone was solid and snappy, it could run every app I needed, and had all kinds of "Blackberry Security" which felt pretty good, even if it was just 'state of the art' rather than anything special. It was also a nice confirmation of my biases, because I was able to type faster on that keyboard than on any digital keyboard I've tried before or since. I really, REALLY believe that tactile buttons are superior for a lot of micro-reasons, and they BBK2 only reinforced that belief. So I definitely agree with the author that physical keyboard lift a soft-limit in typing speed, at least for certain types of people. No swype has ever been as accurate, no digital key has ever had the range of input (straight down, weird side presses, press first row; lift above second row; press third row, wiggle press for doubles, etc, etc), and no orienter is ever as instantly recognized as the little bumps on the home keys. When I'm using a tiny physical keyboard, I can fly at about 100 WPM; digital keyboards lock me at around 60-ish.

Unfortunately, the phone's not 5G, and definitely shows its processor age, these days. But I still love to have it around for note-taking on the wi-fi and for leaving in dev mode so I can push apps to it for testing.

For me chatGPT or phind (which is based on chatGPT4, if I understood right) are great documentation tools and also general productivity tools, nothing to say about it.

The main issue is that sometimes they really f** it up bad, they make you rethink your knowledge quite deeply (do I remember wrong? did I maybe understand this wrong? is chatGPT wrong?) and this is for me something that can be worse than having to do it myself, because it creates some sort of insecurity, as you always have to challenge your self thinking, and this is not how we work in our daily job, isn't it? At least this doesn't happen so frequently to me - from time to time we have arguments in the team, but this kind of "wrong information" feels more like "hidden" traps than someone else arguing (with valid arguments, of course).

2) Yes. Everything is in-house.

Do you build a word index by document and find documents that match all words in the query?)

Yeah. It's actually got three indices;

* One is a forward index with `document id -> document metadata`

* One is a priority term index with `term -> document id`.

* One is a full index with `term -> (document, term metadata)`

They're all based on static b-trees.
> by using English as spec, the barrier of entry has gone lower,

I'm not sure that is true. The level of back and forth and refinements needed indicate to me that the "English" used is not the normal language I use when talking to people.

It's almost like a refined version of cucumber with syntax that is slightly more forgiving.

Maybe I'm being a codger, but LLMs seem (at least for now) far better for summarizing and giving high level overviews of concepts rather than nailing precise code requirements.
I’m firmly in the “AI will never be a sentient being and shouldn’t be expected to have rights” camp.

Accordingly, AI won’t be sending kids to public schools, collecting Social Security, or benefiting from Medicare. Most importantly, AI won’t have seats in Congress.

If AI does productive work, individuals and organizations who leverage it successfully will make more money, which is taxed progressively (in theory anyway). At higher brackets, income tax can bring in more revenue than payroll taxes.

I believe the North Sea Link is specifically the longest undersea cable, not the longest transmission line; a more direct route could be taken across the Strait of Gibraltar with further transmission on land.

Whether the regulation gives +1 to category A or -1 to category B the net result is the same. The reduced relative compliance burden on category A makes the end result have more bang for its buck than category B.

> But there's nothing wrong with repetition in itself. I say again, there's nothing wrong with repetition in itself: a task we do many times is probably an important one. And if we find ourselves creating new abstractions to no purpose other than avoiding repetition, then we've gone wrong somewhere. We're making the program more complex, not more simple.
>Users will take it, because where else to go.

Until they don't, then there will be nowhere for MS to go.
That "upwards" excludes a lot of relevant systems design logic that won't go away though, insofar as it is abstraction ad infinitum in the direction of fewer-relevant-details.

What'll happen is, details will continue to be relevant as tastes adjust to the new normal.

Like for my work, today, React is enterprise-ready, which is not good for me. It means it will likely dip my projects in unnecessary maintenance costs as compared to another widget of its type that does what I want in a lightweight manner. When I troubleshoot something of React's complexity, even my prompts will likely need to be longer.

But also, that's just one component of one component. And you have to experience this stuff in the first place, to know that you should pay attention to these details and not those other ones, for a given job, for a given client, in a given industry, with given specs.

So, if I was able to wave my hands I'd simply have all the problems I had back when I was a beginner. Ergo, it comes back to the clip art problem: Being able to buy clip art never made anyone a designer. But it made a lot of designers' jobs way easier.

We are simply regressing toward the mean with regard to programming. It was never about computers in the first place, never so concerned with syntax.

> This specific speech changed my way of thinking from considering all these soccer moms in SUVs as jerks sucking up resources into more nuance that maybe they have reasons for why they want a big vehicle and don’t mind paying extra for gas because of it.

If part of the reason one wants a big vehicle is for safety, they are unwittingly participating in an arms race to ever larger, more dangerous vehicles. This arms race doesn't make everyone safer: it disproportionately harms those who either choose not to participate or cannot afford to: pedestrians, bicyclists, scooters, motorcyclists, children, etc. (which are the types of transportation that we should incentivize the most to combat climate change and congestion.)

> It also helped me when my adult child really wanted a big SUV as their first car even though they had no kids, no dogs, no sports with equipment. It was kind of inexplicable to me why they wanted a big SUV, but this quote made me relax and trust that they had a good reason.

If we didn't litter our streets with absolutely massive vehicles, perhaps regular folks wouldn't need to drive a tank just to survive the daily commute. I don't fault consumers for making this choice. CAFE standards incentivized this [1], and regulation is what it will take to change incentives in a safer, climate-friendly direction.

With AI now being a real thing, I’m looking through all these “how it’s done” UI elements through a new lens.

Like weather: Even when I want to know the local weather do I want to watch it in real time? No. I’m having to watch it in real time because I need to predict how it’s going to affect my plans. I’d much rather have an AI do the real-time stuff and nudge me to say “Hey, there’s rain about an hour away” or “The park is definitely going to be great. Check in and make sure everyone is on the same page”.

There are still some things I do still want as a part of the UI, and even at AI’s best I still want a UI, but so much of that information overload is now functionally irrelevant.

The prompt was almost as much work as the code, and there was no way to write that prompt without a CS education and/or years of development experience.
I think English as a spec actually makes the barrier of entry higher, not lower. Code itself is far easier to understand than an English description of the code.

To understand an English description of code you already have to have a deeper understanding of what the code is doing. For code itself you can reference the syntax to understand what's going on.

The prompt in this case is using very technical language that a beginner will have no idea about. But if you gave them the code they could at least struggle along and figure it out by looking things up.

On the other hand... Confucianism puts merchants as one of the lower members of society, because they do not add value as artisans. Edo Japan famously had caste of samurai on the top, farmers on the middle, and merchants on the lowest.
These are all growing and strong. My point was that new languages that we see coming out are compiled. Nim and Zig are examples. There's even languages that are a direct answer to "compiled Clojure" such as Carp and Janet, and most directly, Jank.

I'm more interested in who is funding the remaining 31%. If it's anything like PBS, that non government coin is heavily liberal leaning foundations and think tanks, many of which receive government funding on some level.

An ideal solution would be to let citizens choose on their taxes where they would like their non essential tax dollars to go. For example, if someone doesn't want their non essential tax dollars going to the Foundation For Wayward Girls which also gives money to a particular TV station to sell the sizzle on their business, they could choose to give it to the Foundation For Youth Gun Hunting or just keep their money for a rainy day.

Co-signed. Nuclear has a potentially key role for dealing with things like heavy industrial demand in areas where there might not be great options for storing enough renewable power to make it through down periods for renewables, but the ramp up time is considerable and there’s plenty of usage we can shift before we need to tackle the most demanding customers. The only honest way to advocate for nuclear power is paired with maximum renewable deployment – otherwise it starts to look like the known strategy of arguing for nuclear power to delay reducing fossil fuel industry profits, knowing that it’ll be 3-4 decades before anything changes.

Just had a browse of Wikipedia and am now more confused.

It states that the consonants of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romic_alphabet are the same as were adopted by IPA, except "⟨ñ ᵹ ɹ λ ꞁ⟩ were eventually replaced with ⟨ɲ ɣ ʕ ʎ ʟ⟩ in the IPA". No mention of ⟨θ⟩ in that sentence.

However, looking at the table on that page, the "th" in "think" is represented by ⟨þ⟩!

Going back to the first version of IPA on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_International_P... the "th" in "think" is represented by ⟨θ⟩.

Looking at the other two major early influences mentioned in that article, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Phonotypic_Alphabet and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palaeotype_alphabet neither uses ⟨θ⟩ for that sound either. By the looks of it, English Phonotypic Alphabet uses a capital theta to represent a vowel sound!
Maybe. That depends on the map implementation. In javascript I’m pretty sure small maps are implemented as lists anyway. I wouldn’t be surprised if Go is the same.

Searching through a list is definitely more complex to write, and it carries the danger that your list will grow and you wont change your code.

The speed difference will only matter at scale - so if you have a lot of small lists with items you’re searching for. That happens, but it’s uncommon that it’s the best approach. I probably use find() / indexOf() about once every thousand lines or so.

The commenter above implied it’s a very common operation in their code. (So much that they’re angry about Go not having it in the standard library). I don’t know about the commenter above, but I’ve certainly seen a lot of novices at programming massively overuse lists not because they’re performance experts, but because they don’t yet understand when a map might be a better choice.

So I must say I understand Go’s choice here. Go is a paternalistic language where the obvious choice should usually be the right choice. Go is actively against clever optimizations philosophically. I can imagine rob pike being quite pleased that slow, linear scans of lists are awkward in his language. This sort of judgemental paper cut is sort of Go’s whole thing.

If you don’t like being looked down on by the compiler, use a different language. Or use maps in your Go code. Go isn’t designed to be microoptimization friendly.

(Source: I sat about 2m away from Rob Pike for nearly a year while he worked on Go, before it hit 1.0. Go isn’t designed to be a language for people who think about cache lines.)
