One of the things that I find fascinating about nuclear power is how it is insured (or was).

In the early 2000's I actually wrote the software that enabled this*.

There was a single insurance company, NEIL (Nuclear Electric Insurance Ltd) that wrote the policies for all of the nuclear power plants in the U.S.

This company was wholly owned by the energy companies, so they self-insured through cost-based rate hikes.

I got to see pictures of some of the claims that had been filed.

Let's just say... it still keeps me up at night.

Many things don't make it to the news.

* As an aside, one of the applications I wrote for them to track fires in plants still stands out as the single worst web app I've ever written. Visual Interdev with server events that reloaded the page every click and an OCX control with an animated fire. Omg.
Of course TNR is better than doing nothing, but if you trap the cats anyway why not just kill them then?
Microwaving and heat is the 90%, I believe…
That’s the way.

The alternative is the god awful updated site or their app. I hope you like adverts.
I thought the same, but I guess in the end Reddit’s value is in its community and besides the lack of users, a new server like that would need to setup a new business model to sustain itself.

Besides, the third party app devs are often solo devs, right? I don’t think they have the skills, time and resources to do that in a coordinated way.

But I hope in the future something fills the void Reddit has just created.
Good news on that- they’re experimenting with lower cost unlimited right now; people who had an annual membership before the switch are back to unlimited searches for now.
You are badly misrepresenting the content of your sources.

[1] says:

>The owls are endangered from many sides. One of the biggest threats uses the Shoreline golf course. A bleak Mountain View report three months ago noted there have been deaths “due to direct contact between golf balls and burrowing owls.”

They do not blame only cats. They discuss cats in particular but do mention there are other threats. I will grant that this one confusingly-worded paragraph is not enough background.

They also do not call for the killing of all cats. The article mostly criticizes the practice of feeding cats, not TNR or adoption.

[2] says:

>Feral cats are supreme predators and actively prey upon burrowing owls. One study in Florida found owl mortality by cats accounted for 30 percent of deaths (Millsap and Bear, 1988). Cats also impact burrowing owls indirectly by decimating small bird and rodent populations, reducing the available food supply for burrowing owls.

One suggested solution is to:

>Proactively discourage all feeding of cats in Shoreline

It is exactly the same message as the NYT article.

[3] calls out the threat of cats first and foremost.

>There are many factors that could explain the low numbers. The owls are ground-nesting, living in holes hollowed out by squirrels. That can leave them vulnerable to a long list of predators, including foxes, skunks and raccoons. Feral cats are considered the worst of the lot, preying on owls as well as the small birds and rodents that make up the owls' main food supply. In fact, a released cat last year ended up mauling one prolific male owl, Kleinhaus said.

>In the aftermath of the shutdown, the local feral cat population predictably exploded[8], and the burrowing owl population at Shoreline Park went down to zero[9].

You seem to acknowledge that the large cat population was in fact a threat to owls, but still object to the NYT story.

I dated somebody long ago who did this in her spare time. She did this at her own expense because she loves cats. So that's why she wouldn't kill them. I'd imagine this is common.
Shutting it down from Reddit’s end won’t work here. Reddit open sourced their server code a while back, and this would allow people to point now-banned reddit clients at third party servers running an open source reddit fork from 2017.

The main change from then, according to TFA, is the new UI, but you still get the equivalent of old.reddit.com if you move your subreddit to this (and your members would then be able to use third party clients, assuming this proposal succeeds).
Usual my dick is bigger. Nobody is going to attack you. Sleep well.
Isn’t that a different thread though?
Surely this year is the year of the Linux desktop.. surely..
Reddit said the majority of the lost revenue was in opportunity cost (money they could have made from those users if they were using the official app), not the literal cost of maintaining the API. So the idea is that they would buy the app, then could serve ads to those users (or however else they monetize users on the official app) and recoup the opportunity cost.
Not being snarky - but do you have references for that? Most research I've seen either conflates nicotine and tobacco, or finds 'pure' nicotine (eg NRTs) have close to zero negative side effects.

That’s only for “production” apps. You can do the development and testing without approval and based on my past experience, for a single user, that’s sufficient as I don’t remember being throttled during my testing. For individual user, I think the limit is fairly high before which they throttle.
Domestic cats as a species had been introduced to America by humans, and still are explicitly kept and feed by humans. I'd call that breeding. This also sets an easy and natural metric of how many cats should be there: 0.

I was just thinking today how I'd like to forget about Discourse. They overrode fucking ctrl+f to redirect it to their shitty search, and if you bother to activate an actually useful search tool like the one that comes in your browser, you can just get fucked. They use heavy amounts of javascript to load only a few comments in the DOM at a time so you can't find a damn thing.

Terrible, terrible system that should've already been replaced by static html + htmx.
Reddit would need to monetize those users, presumably by adding ads etc to Apollo, eventually turning Apollo into the Reddit app which already exists today (and which Apollo users don't want to use). Only the users willing to tolerate Reddit's enshittified UX would stick around.

Reddit can just force Apollo to shut down and accomplish the same for $10M less.
> Fleshing out the vision you have for what you need to do, and putting that up against your coworkers vision, and figuring out where the disagreements/gaps are.

This is a part that probably varies a lot individually...I'm a slow thinker, and have a hard time reacting to fully formed ideas thrown at me thrown at me over a table. The other side coming with fully prepared for the discussion, while on the receiving end you need to do your homework realtime also doesn't help.

If it's random brainstorming it doesn't matter a lot. If it's an actually important topics, it feels like a DDOS on your brain when you actually want to take time to understand the implications. Then sure, some situations require speed, but I don't see that many of them in day to day life. "What you think about moving to X framework for our metrics ?" can probably wait for 30 min. and not be a realtime exchange.

> it's very uncomfortable to be on a zoom call for more than about 45 minutes at a time.

I've finding these meetings way more comfortable in remote...someone can be rambling for as long as they need, the effect on everyone's productivity is that much reduced. Same for people who speak very slowly actually, it's a lot less stress IMO and easier to engage when paradoxically you don't need to be 100% looking at them in the eyes.
Are the iOS games just in pancake mode, or are they doing something clever to make them 3D?
I've also run into this thinking, and have been looking to solve it in codebases I'm working on.

I've run across: https://github.com/aff3ct/MIPP but have not worked with it extensively yet. It looks to be a solution to the rewriting X parallel pipeline into Y SIMD extensions.

Perhaps something like this, or languages introducing something similar into their standard libraries/modules would be a solution.

None of this of course solves the run-time detection of capability/growing binary size to support such.
You can edit on this one too. Overwriting with the same length (which Shreddit did) doesn't really help with how storage architecture works these days.
OK, so shouldn’t we then be benchmarking to Vogtle’s start of construction in 2009?

It was extremely scary to go through.
This uses a 2017 fork of reddit’s server that reddit open sourced. The backend wouldn’t be reddit-like. It would actually be reddit, pre-new UI.
> the data is in the paper I linked. 75% of bitcoin volume is speculation.
> Sure. And there's plenty of non-speculative activity outside of those entities as well. The paper explicitly looks at on-chain activity only.

You claimed that 75% of bitcoin volume was speculation. There is nothing in the paper to support this claim. I'm not arguing that there is 0 non-speculative activity, I'm saying that it is significantly less than 25%, and you're making up bogus statistics that aren't supported by your sources in the way that you say they are.

> Say I'm subscribed to a Australian musician's patreon. I send her USD, then a middleman sells that USD and gives her AUD. I also support a French musician. I send him BTC. He (or a middleman) sells that BTC for EUR. How can you say either of those situations is more or less economically meaningful?

Yes, these are both economically meaningful. This type of transaction is much more common in the fiat world than it is in the crypto world (where speculation and wash trading drive the majority of transactions).

Currency speculators make up a tiny portion of the real-world economy, while they make up the vast majority of the crypto economy.

> The costs of the one furthest ahead, NuScale, are already exploding and the power will be way more expensive than planned.

Not sure if you've heard - there was some inflation that hit the US back in 2022. Are you asking for NuScale to be immune to inflation? Even regular cars became more expensive.

There are still some reason that you may want to use a newer version of a software when your distro is stable. e.g. The latest version added a new feature that is really useful to you, or a long-standing bug has been fixed in latest version.

I think Flatpak would be current best choice for these tasks if you are running a stable distro. But I think it would be good to have a distro where core OS and user application is completely separated, and can be updated independently. It would be nice to have latest application without fearing the next grub/DE/kernel/driver/... update might break your current setup.

> Basically it uses popcnt to know how many there are and uses tzcnt repeatedly to find the position of a single one.

BLSI and BLSR are better instructions for iterating over a bitset and finding the 1s (BLSI) and then removing the 1s (BLSR).

Furthermore, it only took 3 assembly instructions to implement before the BMI instruction set (see: https://www.chessprogramming.org/General_Setwise_Operations#... )

You're correct on popcnt, but this kind of iteration I normally see with BLSI / BLSR, not with TZCNT. I feel like TZCNT is slower and less elegant for this purpose.

---------

To go from a single binary bit selected (ex: 0b00001000) into its index (ie: 3 in this case) I guess TZCNT could be used though. But I would have done popcnt(x-1) instinctively.

TZCNT would be faster though, so there's that.

------

But all of these operations are only ~2 to 3 assembly instructions. Roughly on the same scale as absolute value. With exception of popcnt of course.

----

EDIT: Okay, I think I see how TZCNT comes into play now. Thanks! Just had to think it through.

If I may, I’d make a slight modification to your statement.

The vast majority of people don’t care about trackpad quality when it comes to shopping.

They do care when they *use* it but they either take it for granted when it works well, or it’s too small a papercut to trade in their device and buy/research a new one.

but it all combines together to make a smoother experience when using it, and it can convert people as a part of a whole.

The amount of false information in this message is staggering. Apple never said they won't track you. Apple specifically says they collect this data[1]:

> Usage Data. Data about your activity on and use of our offerings, such as app launches within our services, including browsing history; search history; product interaction; crash data, performance and other diagnostic data; and other usage data.

> Health Information. Data relating to the health status of an individual, including data related to one’s physical or mental health or condition.

> Financial Information. Details including salary, income, and assets information where collected, and information related to Apple-branded financial offerings

Also, Siri hadn't been sued for breaking TOS AFAIK, but they were sued for leaking health records which they couldn't even after getting permission from the user. Also google selling user data is largely a myth.

Actually, they do. A Reddit only consisting of r/AskReddit, r/aww, r/pics and r/tifu provides less value than just using Instagram/Twitter.

Most of the casual users I know use Reddit for a few small meme subreddits and topics that are too small for their main-platforms. If those are down, Reddit is dead to them.

(Of course Reddit could try to send their staff each down a different rabbit hole to fit them into the communities. This would be fucking hilarious. I hope this doesn't happen but if it happens, I'll have my popcorn ready.)
Apple introduced the newest version of macOS, macOS Sonoma, the successor of macOS Ventura, during the 2023 WWDC in June. Meanwhile, Apple released the macOS Sonoma beta for developers. The public Beta will come in July and the official version is expected to be available in late September or October.
I was hoping if a committee of the apps could form they could go the non-profit route and continue monetize for profit from their respective frontends. The app third party app devs don't seem to understand value of the user base they have accumulated. This may be the last viable chance for a reddit successor to form.
Yeah. This overcorrection happened in my country too. We saw what happened in the US and the result was doctors became more afraid of prescribing opioids even when in cases of acute pain where it's warranted. Fear of causing harm to patients due to risk of drug dependence.

And yet benzodiazepines are taken by vast amounts of people as if it was water.

Would games use a browser instead? Where are all of the great profitable web based games for Android? If the Android browser experience is so much better, then why are there hardly any apps that are iOS and web only so they can avoid the “Google tax”?

The entire idea that makes games so popular is that it’s easy to capture whales because of the easy payments. Are you really complaining that poor little Candy Crush and their ilk have to pay 30% to sell loot boxes and gems?

Yes and web apps and Electron apps are so great on other platforms. Especially seeing the piss poor hardware that most Android phones are running.

BTW, iOS/Safari wins every single web browsing benchmark out there.
>something I always thought was bought with money,

No. Apple chooses this on their own. Their internal teams find new and interesting apps, songs, etc.

When they announced the iPhone X, they used a band without telling them before. They asked the band to send them some music samples and just a generic "this might end up on an Apple marketing material one day". The band was shocked when it turned out to be THE song on THE intro video for the iPhone X.

The true replacement for casual users is Pop_OS. For more mid-tier users I’d recommend installing base Arch once, then wiping and installing OpenSUSE.

Using Arch without a bigger org managing it for you is kind of dangerous. Their policy is that they just wantonly push anything, and if there’s something wrong with a package they’ll tell you in the upgrade message. That you’ll have to manually evoke. And check for each package upgrade.

I learned a lot from setting up Arch a couple of times, but ultimately I think they have a few policies that are terrible for the average user or even company.
You're talking about cognitive science, I am talking about psychology. The two are not the same thing, nor is one a subfield of the other. The papers you have linked are more closely related to neuroscience than to psychology. I'm well aware that neuroscience is a proper scientific discipline; I'm also well aware that psychology is something else entirely.

The psychoanalytic tradition, including Freud, is still a part of psych major curricula around the world. Therapists with psychology degrees still practice psychoanalysis, which, while not identical to what was happening 100 years ago, is still strongly influenced by Freud and Jung. Therefore, claims that the field has left its past behind just aren't credible. And I'm not even going to go into psychology's entanglement with postmodern intellectualism and the political left.
Tell HN: Conversational Journaling
refers to the practice of maintaining a journal through an interactive dialogue, typically facilitated by artificial intelligence. Unlike traditional journaling, which often involves one-way communication from the individual to the page, conversational journaling stimulates a back-and-forth exchange, akin to a conversation. The AI prompts thoughtful questions, helping users articulate their thoughts, emotions, and experiences more effectively. This interactive process not only enhances the depth and quality of self-reflection but also makes the journaling experience more engaging and accessible, overcoming barriers such as writer's block or lack of inspiration.
The origin of the phrase "crack down" sets the tone for this sort of action.

Not that keen on giving part of my life to companies who bandy it about.
You seem to be confused. It doesn’t matter if Mastodon is going to replace Twitter. What matters is that Twitter is dead. Then I laid out why the collapse has already started. This shouldn’t be controversial. Twitter has been losing users for years now.

Celebrities aren’t trendsetters. They’re laggards. To use the hockey metaphor, they always skate to the puck, not where it is going. Case in point: Every band was on MySpace until well after the collapse began.
