Nuclear would get some serious economies of scale at 2500 units, so those prices aren't a fair comparison of what could be.

I've long maintained here on HN, however, that under-investment in nuclear has made it not cost effective compared to renewables + storage (remember you don't need 100% storage.) At current market prices, nuclear doesn't make much sense. It could have really helped if we'd started earlier with it though, before renewables were in the picture.

That is an unreasonable assumption for a company that has their payroll in an account for instance. It would be idiotic not to move it.
Yep, my wife grew up in the USSR and enjoyed more and longer vacations (up to two months, and at least one) than we ever did as an upper middle class American family.

Disclosure: this is no endorsement of the Soviet-style systems. But my wife had a much better childhood then the anti-Soviet would have you believe.
Cuba is facing a famine right now. Communism was the cause of authoritarianism in china and the ussr. It's not possible to have a command economy run by humans without eventually having the leader be an authoritarian.

Capitalism did not cause people to be greedy, they were already greedy. Capitalism just embraces our nature and aligns incentives while communism pretends people can be changed to not follow incentives.
Well behaved cities – what all cities have in common
Meanwhile, capitalism preys on people who are convinced that if it weren't for the moochers and layabouts and undeserving holding them back, they would have a life of wealth and respect.

To add, it wasn’t just opening fire and killing that many. They opened fire, lied siege, and prompted the settlers to surrender. Then executed everyone expect the few children younger than 8.
You can bet they have automatic target tracking and ballistic aiming onto those in the new abrams tank, but sending the kill command will most likely be done by operators. But it's just a small step from that to putting it on autopilot
Ankylosing Spondylitis is a closely related disease, treated with the same anti-TNF biological drugs.

There is 30 years of contradictory research on the association of the disease with the bacteria Klebsiella pneumoniae. So far, it has come to nothing.

One of the points of the talk is emphasis on working on "important" problems. It does make sense to not work on incremental things for merely publications so it is definitely good advice. However once you decide to do so what is "important" becomes a difficult question.

I like this article from Daniel Lemire which explores this further

And you seem to get distracted by if AGI will happen soon. My main point of the article is if AGI happens, it won't be just like chess bots. I didn't focus on if it will happen soon. But yes, I think it might happen in 50 years. And I might write another article about it!

In this case, it's very close, yes.

It's worth noting that you can also expand your balance sheet by buying any assets: spending the money on real estate, government bonds, or even using the money to buy your own company stock would also expand the balance sheet, as long as the company retains ownership of those assets.

But for people familiar with basic business terminology, it communicates something else, too.

In business, there's a core belief that money at rest is money wasted. You generally want to use your money to buy something rather than letting it pile up. Saying that you're using the money to "expand your balance sheet" implies that we shouldn't think of that money as merely idle, undeployed capital - in fact, it's being used for a very specific purpose: to make the business healthier. Companies with healthier balance sheets are better prepared to handle unexpected scenarios, and their stock is more attractive to investors.

A closer layman's translation might be, "keeping the profits, to make the business healthier."

While it’s true that the future cash flow from the bond hasn’t changed, it is quite literally worth less money now, because better investments are available.

For a bank, these better investments are available to its depositors if they leave. The bank’s borrowing costs have gone up (or will soon) and that’s the difference between profits and losses. The losses will happen sometime (unless interest rates go down again), but when they get recognized is a matter of accounting.

So the bonds were risky, as is any fixed-income investment when your borrowing costs are variable. (Though it’s clearly not as bad a loss as it would be if the bonds defaulted.)
> Wouldn't the graceful way be to... simply allow narrow banks to have fed accounts?

No. As the Fed details, in a crisis, deposits would drain into the narrow bank. Permitting a narrow bank by itself is de-stabilising. (There are a myriad of solutions to the issues introduced. From paying a lower return on non-risk taking reserves to limiting accounts to natural persons. But the point is the systemic effects have to be thought out in advance.)

Apple Watch. Any watch with sleep and workout tracking would do (Garmin, Fitbit, etc). I primarily purchased the watch to help track my sleep and was shocked by just how bad my sleep habits were. I've improved my sleep patterns, increasing my average time asleep from 6:30 to 7:30 in two months.

A few added bonuses: the app I use for weightlifting (https://www.hevyapp.com/) has an Apple Watch mode, freeing me from my phone during workouts. I can also use the watch to track runs, as mentioned by the commenter in this thread with the Garmin Watch.

I liked Avogadro Corp. Good book.

It's true that people will be directing these AIs initially but some people are already giving them incredibly broad goals that could be interpreted as "take over". And there are quite a few developers earnestly working on emulating those lifelike characteristics. So even though they are not going to "emerge" science fiction style, self-preservation and reproductive goals are explicitly being built into these systems by some developers.
I was listening to a local real estate talk show this weekend.

They said the largest generational group buying and selling houses pre-COVID were the Millennials.

Now?

Its the Baby Boomers. They can pay cash so they are immune to the interest rates and they tend to have more equity in their properties so they're in a very advantageous position to take advantage of really bad time for real estate.

I live in Minneapolis. The inventory here has been historically low since Covid hit. Normally we should have around 15K properties for sale in the seven country metro area here. Right now, its closer to about 4,200 which is crazy. A lot of people are not even putting their houses on the market. They find an agent and within days they have several buyers. We've had three families just POOF move out of our neighborhood. No "for sale" sign, no showings, just gone.
I find USB ports in plane seats very convenient.

You're anyway stuck in your seat and chances are good that you're low on juice during a day of traveling.

Same goes for trains. Alas, they usually have power outlets.

Given that my boarding passes, train tickets and other vital information is on my phone having power is essential.

As a light traveller I don't want to schlepp an additional gadget.

My entire ham radio station was built from Heathkits in the sixties. I still have the transceiver and linear amplifier in storage. Been meaning to replace all the capacitors and fire it back up. It would be like restoring a car I drove in my teen age years, reminding me of many good times.

Got on their mailing list when they attempted a comeback but haven't heard a thing from them in years.
Agreed. But I think there is one thing that is not being considered here, that is that the markets are priced to the previous era with almost 0% rates.

This means that you now have to pay for the thing that is priced to be sort of affordable to you with 0% interest but the interest you can get is more like 5%.

Best example of this is the current housing market (regardless whether building or buying). If your previous monthly to a mil was 3k$ now it is over 5k$. This immediately prices you out and will probably lead to a lot of stagnation in 20-30 months.

The wacky keyboards were correct!

The point to “d” and “k” was that even if one of your hands was shifted by a letter, you’d still feel the nub, but you’d feel it on the wrong finger and know.

By moving the nub to “f” and “j”, they broke that contract. It’s harder to notice the absence of a nub than it is to notice it’s under the wrong finger.

> The fear is from people who can extrapolate.

This isn't really true. There isn't consensus among people who have the history and background, but the "it's going to change everything" and especially "we're all screwed" make for better copy so they are getting a lot of media play right now.
Ask HN: Need some help to deal with power line noise
Hi y'all, I'm relatively new to EE. I used to make project in NYC where power lines are buried underground, but ever since I move to Portland, I've been having tons of trouble with power line noise. Both high voltage and low voltage are are really are right outside of my home office. They are significant enough to:

1. Unable to calibrate my Keysight scope
2. Peripherals started syncing with 60 Hz instead of my oscillator.
3. Sometimes affects RF communication.

I'd really appreciate some simple tips and trick during development that would make my life easier.

It's been frustrating to read how Reddit's API changes are affecting the unofficial mobile apps for Reddit. Seriously has me questioning whether I want to continue using the platform at all. The developer for Apollo posted a lengthy thread 12 days ago about how this is going to affect those apps:

https://old.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/12ram0f/had_a_fe...

As many users have noted, this is in many ways a betrayal, of both users and developers, since these other apps were the first to provide mobile functionality for Reddit.

Syncing object downstream and upstream using Kubenernetes with KCP-Edge
Change the way you look at kubernetes with this new r/kcpedge approach to retrieving status in a hub-spoke architecture. In default kubernetes you receive status as part of the same object where spec (specified configuration or desired r/compliance state) is defined. This construct is limiting in the type and size of the response from the spoke. With the new kcpe-syncer developed by the https://kcp-edge.io community you can now send back any object from the spoke to the hub. This opens the door for higher-level functions to abstract payloads. In this blog post Takumi and Yuji show the power of using r/kyverno as a policy auditing/enforcement tool that collects information for use with r/NIST and other regulatory compliance frameworks. Using the kcpe-syncer you can potentially use any number of policy auditing/enforcement tools (private and/or public/ r/cncfprojects) to query endpoints for information. The tools used can generate report objects and those objects can be routed back to the hub for normalization. This is a very powerful abstraction and not something we have seen implemented yet in the kubernetes community. Check out the blog post for more information.

There are choices we can make that affect the difference between gross and net. How much do you withhold? What level of insurance if you have choices? Retirement contributions? Direct donations? Optional benefits like life insurances, long term disability, AD&D plans. It's much fairer to look at someones gross pay when comparing people. Even if you just deal with tax withholding options, net pay is easily skewed.

There was a president after that who was in a partnership that bought an S&L in the eighties and gave itself bad loans, but it was made out to be so complicated that no one could ever understand it. Everyone else involved in the partnership besides the president and first lady went to prison, though.
That statement seems like such science fiction that it's kind of baffling an AI expert said it.

What does it even mean for the AI to be smarter than people? I certainly can't see a way for LLMs to generate "smarter" text than what's in their training data.

And even the best case interactions I've seen online still rely on human intelligence to guide the AI to good outcomes instead of bad ones.

Writing is a harder task to automate than calculation, but the calculator example seems pretty apt.

> As long as you can't trade real goods and services for crypto coins it is absolutely worthless.

As long as you can sell it for USD it's not worthless - you don't other goods/services - although that said the list of those is still growing.

The fact that I can send money (liquid fiat) to a friend without going through paypall/zello/etc. is valuable.

The only thing that could make it a "scam" is the promise of money, which I 100% agree that using crypto to "make money" is stupid and is a massive problem.
There's also real yield to account for. If rates are 0% and inflation is 2%, real yield is -2%. If rates are 5% but inflation is 7%, real yield is still -2%. Buying power is being lost even if the numbers in your account are going up.
'unlimited' PTO should only ever be offered with a required minimum number of days. If that means my boss has to say "Go home for the last 2/3 weeks of December, you can't work any more this year", that's fine.

Personally, I'm in a position where I'm perfectly happy with my current company's offer: I get a relatively small (2 weeks) amount of non-sicktime PTO, but I'm more or less free to take as much unpaid time as I want. Which in a field as well-paying as software development, is absolutely fine with me. Even better would be a formal pool of UPTO, which doesn't need any negotiation at all, but luckily my boss is accommodating.
