This isn't water that goes through the steam turbines. It's water that's used on the other "side" of the condenser to condense the water that went through the steam turbines. This water is, in turn, allowed to evaporate, carrying away the waste heat (as latent and sensible heat) into the environment. Recondensing the evaporated water would just produce that heat again.

The water going through the steam turbines themselves is highly purified and gets reused many times.

It would be possible to design a nuclear power plant that's air cooled, but it would be more expensive, and would likely require a reactor operating at a higher temperature with a higher exhaust temperature.
There is a real problem. Content creators are not getting enough income to operate on. Middle companies (e.g., Google and Facebook) are making a lot of money. This is a problem especially for local and regional content.

Useful solutions to the problem are where we are running into disagreements. And, any useful solution is going to run into disagreement because it's going to change the distribution of wealth from the status quo. Content creators will get more of it.

Two analogies come to mind...

1. It reminds me of record labels and artists. There have traditionally been many cases where the artists made very little income but the producers and label made a lot of money. The distribution channel captured the profits.

2. I also think of cars and car dealerships. Imagine if car manufacturers couldn't make enough money to run a functioning business but car dealerships were making a lot of income.

In the case of news articles the underlying problem isn't discovery of content. Instead, it's about the income model around advertisements. The middle companies that broker ads are making a lot of money while the organizations displaying them get a fraction of the income. The issues are often part of todays advertising model.
That goes for practically any low-barrier-to-entry common interest topic.

Reddit lives and dies by the moderation. Communities with very strict moderation often get a lot of flack for not allowing the low effort drivel. Communities that "let the votes decide" are overrun with low effort memes, waves of "DAE <super common opinion>?" and repost after repost. Often times to have a truly unique and useful experience with the site you need to manage your own content moderation with blocks/filters/etc. This is why there's a lot of inertia to the 3rd party apps and plugins we use, because seeing those as on the chopping block means we're going back to a wild forest of low effort dredge.

If Reddit Is Fun, RES, or old. gets killed off I'm going to leave the site. It will absolutely be difficult, but it will be for the best. I avoid certain subs that are massively popular because they mostly play on the ragebait engagement or outright ignore core issues solved by the moderation. Having that put back to the forefront of my experience will feel like re-opening Facebook or signing up for Twitter. No thanks.
Interesting, when or which device did you try this on?

On my Boox Nova 3, typing via the BT Keyboard is pretty much instant, no noticable delay. Though in Word or Outlook it helps to choose the faster screen mode. No issues in Termux though.
I like how this comment set me off spending the next hour reading and watching stuff on ADHD while the time passed like it was one minute.

Now I'm actually surprised to have returned back to this HN thread.

True, but it also adds lot of features that help to easily migrate to saner features without rewriting the world and throw away 30 years of tooling.

Microsoft security team is on the record that just because they are adopting Rust, they won't shy away from C++.
Neat, but... this "analog" thing's built with a lot of digital circuitry
Very familiar-looking to anyone who has been following the modular synthesizer renaissance. Modular synths are basically analog computers, just not well-optimized for precision in most cases. All the basic building blocks of THAT are available as modules from a number of boutique manufacturers.
i would buy one if it cost ten dollars not five hundred dollars

>> So no agreements had previously been made then?

Not according to direct participants like the foreign minister of the USSR. https://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/interview-with-e...

Moreover, NATO and Russia signed a treaty greenlighting NATO enlargement before any official talks with former Warsaw Pact countries started, so whatever was allegedly said or heard prior to that is irrelevant anyway.

>> I'm not supporting Russia's actions here

You are, whether you recognize it or not. Your contrarian take is a made up narrative to justify the war. Makes you feel smarter than the rest while advancing Russian interests and blaming victims for crimes against them.
Is Apple making that argument?
This is interesting. Thank you for spending effort on this!

I was curious so I followed your link. Google Translate says this: "Since there is no information available that provides a basis for assuming that the car is defective after the update full, the complaint cannot be upheld."

So it seems that the requirement would be to prove that the change is actually a defect. This sounds reasonable to me in principle, though I wonder if the burden of proof should actually be on the other side if the consumer has no choice but to accept the update.

It looks like the fine issued was a default judgement on the basis that you weren't adequately informed of the change and that they didn't try to contest that?
Apparently, it uses iMessage's proprietary messaging format, not standard text messages. I don't use iOS but my understanding is users can't replace iMessage with another messaging app.
Yes and yes. But it's not the same, you've never experienced the strongest of bonds between men.

It's not about killing, it's not about paleolithic shit, it's not about apey dudebro stuff. You don't understand it, what you're doing when you discount it is the same thing your caricature of these men do when they want to avoid emotional situations. You're dismissing, youre cringing, you're making light of it so you don't get seen behaving that way. No different than a "tough guy" pretending he doesn't love his wife or whatever. You're closing a part of yourself off same as them and pretending it doesnt exist same as them and you are missing out on something so overwhelmingly engrossing that is at the core of being a human.

You'll note, in the comment of mine you responded to, I never said anything about extreme duress.
OpenAI's future plans post has been mysteriously removed
Removed at OpenAI's request – let's discuss what this means for transparency and open discourse in AI development.

Archived version of the post: https://web.archive.org/web/20230531203946/https://humanloop...
As someone who makes a good portion of my living as a writer, I choose to embrace ChatGPT to make me more productive. That's how I stay relevant.

For example, today it helped me write a press release. We had dialogue back and forth. I told it to ask me thoughtful questions, and it did. After 5 minutes of back-and-forth, I had the bones of a high-quality press release put together. I then edited it until it met my standards, and submitted it.

This process would have previously taken me a few hours. Today it took less than 30 minutes.

As a result, my value to my employer has gone up because of ChatGPT. I'm able to get a lot more done with it, and they'd be fools to simply replace me with the bot.

In other words, and I'm hardly the only one saying this: ChatGPT is not a replacement for people. It's an augmentation. It's a bicycle for the mind, to steal Steve Jobs's famous metaphor.

I think if you're a writer who refuses to embrace this new reality, you should absolutely be worried. But if you embrace the inevitable, the combination of a skilled copywriter + ChatGPT is incredible. It's my writing partner. I'm still in charge, calling all the shots. But my writing partner helps to prevent writer's block.

Often, I won't use a single word it produced. Instead, it gives me a starting point. Sometimes that starting point is little more than "I need to do better than what this machine produced, because this is crap." But it's soooo much easier to improve on garbage than it is to create out of the blue.

So, I don't think AI is coming for our jobs as writers. If used well, it's the best writing partner you could ask for.
I am referring to the device or OS on either end rather than the client SW used for communication. When those are compromised, nothing is safe.
Uber has hard constraints that are difficult to significantly reduce with scale. GPT is already approaching adequate on consumer grade GPUs. Pretty sure the price is going to trend towards zero, no matter what the salary is of the employee it replaces.
This is a very deep insight but it does rely on people knowing what the relative future costs are and this is a much harder problem than looking back and so the part of the equation with the most evidence behind it tends to be given the greater weight.

Well, it was just a thought experiment, since we have no way to find out. Yes, animals can learn many skills and also find surprising solutions to reach and open that food recipient you thought was safely locked, but there also seems to be a fuzzy limit to the thoughts available to them and it's plausible that, even given a human like level of intelligence, an average intelligent talking dog might be content to live its life in a human household with other dogs, while an average intelligent talking wolf might not. We don't know where feelings and desires come from, why somebody has a burning desire to be free or do some particular thing, while somebody else can be satisfied without freedom if their basic needs are met.

Many people are preoccupied with AI these days, and most seem to consider consciousness as something that emerges from intelligence on a gradient, if they ever think about it. To me, consciousness looks more like something complementary to intelligence.

In principle, wouldn't it be possible for an artificial system to be intelligent and react to its environment without having any feeling or experience about it, just by being trained to successfully respond to its survival challenges and perhaps be able to repair or construct copies of itself? Is there a survival advantage in being able to experience life? Doesn't it just needlessly complicate things?

For some unknown reason, I find myself wondering about this from time to time.
UniPress Emacs for NeWS in 1988: Scriptable GUI, tabbed windows, pie menus, hypermedia authoring tool for HyperTIES browser.

Emacs served as an IDE with tabbed window and pie menus, for interactively editing, viewing, and navigating HyperTIES markup language documents, graphics, and interactive PostScript "applets".

HyperTIES browser and Gosling Emacs authoring tool with pie menus on the NeWS window system

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tab_(interface)#/media/File:Hy...

>HyperTIES is an early hypermedia browser developed under the direction of Dr. Ben Shneiderman at the University of Maryland Human Computer Interaction Lab. This screen snapshot shows the HyperTIES authoring tool (built with UniPress's Gosling Emacs text editor, written in MockLisp) and browser (built with the NeWS window system, written in PostScript, C and Forth). The tabbed windows and pie menu reusable components were developed by Don Hopkins, who also developed the NeWS Emacs (NeMACS) and HyperTIES user interfaces. (Sorry about the quality -- this is a scan of an old screen dump printed by a laser printer.)

Emacs provides the pie menus you see popped up in the illustration (Articulate, Edit, New (Storyboard, Link, Picture, Target), Define) that control the HyperTIES browser from the custom text editing mode of HyperTIES storyboards (like web pages), which the HyperTIES browser (in the background, which emacs controls in a sub-process) formats and displays. HyperTIES also uses pie menus for navigation and in interactive "applets" programmed in PostScript.

Just tried it....I'm not very convinced in it's modeling.

I live near the top of a large, steeply sloped hill and water does not flow past/towards the house. It claims there is a 97% chance of a foot or more of water reaching my house in the next 30 years. It at least doesn't claim there would be damages, but there's really no way for what it claims to actually occur.

The FEMA maps also have reliability problems but I'm not sure this is more reliable.

The difference between the words emulate and simulate are difficult to grasp for me. One comes from the latin `aemulus` and the other from `similis`. One talks about imitation and the other about similarity. When people discuss the differences between these terms, they say things like one aims to be able to replace a thing, while the other aims to replicate the thing's internal state. Or, that one aims to replicate the external behaviour, and the other aims to replicate the internal state.

I somewhat discard these interpretations. My conclusion, is that emulation is about making something equal to something else under some circumstance, while simulation is about approaching emulation (under some circumstance), but not aiming or achieving complete emulation (under that circumstance). Basically, the difference between becoming equal and becoming similar. This is counter to popular usage I think, but popular usage is a bit of a mess, in my opinion.
What was that application from a long time ago that had analog wiring sound systems that you had to manually (on screen) connect a wire between ports... and you could flip the rack from front to back?

Simulation is about mimicking another device or system. Emulation is about setting up a system that is logically indistinguishable from another irrespective of its implementation substrate and details thereof.

A thing is successfully ‘emulated’ when it is logically impossible to distinguish the difference between the system and its emulated counterpart.
what did he say / how did he react when you handed it back?
They've been predicting the end of the world any second now for decades. We also habitually overlook or downplay it anytime anything actually gets fixed.

Y2K did not result in a global banking meltdown. Instead, it quietly fixed and VCRs stopped being conveniently programmable.

When Iraq lit oil wells on fire on its way out of Kuwait, it was expected to burn for years and be a global climate catastrophe. Crack teams from around the world converged on the country, invented new techniques and thereby dramatically shortened the projected time for putting them out.

In the aftermath, the desert bloomed like no one could remember seeing. That detail was a footnote in more dramatic stories.

No one wakes up in 2023 and thanks whatever gods they believe in that those two apocalypses were averted. We just go online and handwring about the latest bad news and predict that it's unfixable and we're doomed.
This I can't wait for but the bigger problem will be that the rest of the development process is at least as broken as the languages are.
> Nix is the way to go and keeps gaining traction

Hard to take this seriously since nix-lang is the largest (but not the only) roadblock to nix adoption in my observations. Besides, it hardly provides any benefits other than an even more exotic syntax.
I was a little puzzled by this compared to what I was used to with Java in the past. It looks like the grandparent's code relies on JEP 445 ( https://openjdk.org/jeps/445 ) which is a preview feature as was mentioned but it also apparently requires the very latest Java 21 which hasn't even been officially released yet.
Because it was clear early on that covid was not droplet transmission and that hand santizer did jack shit. But nobody would acknowledge this for ages, leading to other crazy shit like shutdown playgrounds.
The impermanence, velocity and arbitrariness of it all is what gets me the most. Nobody (except maybe the silo owners) has any idea what's going on.

Shit's produced and instantly forgotten. And holding your mind into the firehose with its myriad disjointed facettes feels really stressful. Semi-regularly checking HN is already all I can take.

Then there's a bit of the (millenial) old guard that survived ~20 years (e.g. retro game communities) to this day, and without that or something similar... not sure I would treat the internet as a cultural space whatsoever anymore. Too much brain melt.
I meant downward pressure from investors as not a bad thing.
"Climate change" is the skeleton key of blame shifting for politicians:

Not enough water in the reservoirs (caused by badly pricing the cost of water)? Its that dastardly climate change.

Too many wildfires (caused by poor forest management and PG&E)? Definitely climate change.

Insurance companies leaving the state (caused by price caps on insurance)? You guessed it: climate change.

>if our "cultural industries" are so fragile that they can't compete with other artists across the border, then that is their own fault and it indicates that haven't earned the right to my attention.

It would be great if the cream would always rise to the top but that's just not how it works. The entertainment industry is marketing driven. More money means more marketing and being US based means more reach. Entertainment industry consolidation among massive US conglomerates becomes a self perpetuating cycle. Once they are big enough, those corporations start lobbying the government to make rules in their favour (ie copyright extension) that affect people globally.

I'm not advocating full protectionism, or anything close to it, but lets be realistic. It's not a level playing field out there.

>where our traditional media broadcast (tv and radio) are a mix of local and American

I'm not sure if this is an argument for, or against. Those local TV and radio stations are huge beneficiaries of certain protectionist measures. And the fact you don't feel "dominated" by US culture could also be seen as a sign the existing measures are working.

(I realize that Canadian media is also dominated by a few big corps, and that deserves its own discussion but the general idea of helping local cultural industries compete with US ones is sound IMHO)
Very cool! Albeit I don’t see the educational value if not paired with an oscilloscope and/or loudspeaker.

This screams modular system at me. And I think it is much easier to learn what all of these functions do when combining multiple senses.

This is true, both will be SOL come July. There is some discussion going on in Libreddit for solutions in https://github.com/libreddit/libreddit/issues/785
It's not _just_ linking. You can still "just link." You'd have to link AND display the eligible content.

"..., display, or present that eligible digital journalism provider’s news articles, works of journalism, or other content, or portions thereof, and that the covered platform has displayed or presented to California residents."

The key here being the final piece, which is part of it. That the platform links to and displays the eligible work (news articles, works of journalism, or other content, or portions thereof).

Reddit likely needs ads to justify its VC valuation. That means no apps that can bypass ads or change the display and (likely) more heavily redacted brand unsafe content (esp porn). Hoping they learned from Tumbr and others though. There are some niche subreddits I really enjoy and don’t want to go back to a world of disparate vBulletin sites.
