"The south".

Like it's all one thing.

You know, that big geographic area that's much larger than most countries in the world, with a population at least as diverse.

The most racist place I ever lived was about 30 mins from Philadelphia.

Grew up there, and there were literally burning crosses in people's yards and race riots in my high school.

I've lived in "the south" now for almost 20 years and never encountered even a fraction of the racism I saw growing up.
Also, don't put high-power leds on everything.
In most cases `di)` is what I want, deleting everything inside the current parens, forward and back. I can see use-cases for "forward only", though.
I'm not contradicting anything about this, but I would be interested to see a comparison between nuclear power plants and OTHER very large projects (the California Bullet Train, anyone? How about the Sydney Opera House?) It seems like they are mostly all getting worse, not better. It doesn't have to be this way. Bent Flyvbjerg, a Danish professor, has a book on this:

https://www.amazon.com/How-Big-Things-Get-Done-ebook/dp/B0B3...

It might well be that nuclear plants are even worse than other types of projects, but I'd like to see the proof.
I don't doubt the quality or the amount of effort put into it. I do feel, that since the photos are in the public domain, that the digital scans should also be in the public domain. I don't feel like paying $200 for remastered prints when I could pay $5 for good-enough-for-me prints
Yes I did, though I thought I originally posted it on Twitter or HN long ago.

It’s on the internet somewhere from me at some point previously
Wikipedia still needs money to keep the lights on.
I'm absolutely a (paid up even? Maybe lapsed) free-market conservative, but that's not a complete argument really. What motivated dropping it? Save the pages for more langauges and self-certified compliance labelling? As if British customers (say) were demanding manuals with 2 pages of English and 296 of other.

This has nothing to do with trickle-down economics - it has everything to do with supply-demand curve.

All cars like this exist on the demand curve - if you don't buy it because you find it undesirable for one reason or another, someone else will. Eventually that falls so far down the curve that it's not worth anyone buying it (no demand) and it either gets scrapped, or it gets exported and someone else uses it outside of the country (which, does happen quite a bit).

Refurbing salvage cars broadly is just not worth it - the time and effort would be better spent make 10-20 new cars, rather than potentially dealing with the liability of a salvage branded car. It's why nobody wants a salvage car.
I don't know where you derived that from.
A little bit, yes.

I don't just want something bundled with Python, I want that thing to be the undeniably best choice. I want "batteries included" to mean that I wouldn't bother to look for anything but what came with the language.
hmmm. maybe?

I think follow the money.

Yelp makes 96% of its revenue on advertising.

They probably make more money if reviews for a restaurant are in question. If someone spends 20 minutes clicking around on a list of restaurants to read the reviews and see if some seems genuine or fake... yelp makes lots of money.

If yelp reviews were 100% trusted, everyone would just click once, and then go to the highest rated restaurant.
Isn’t it equally truthful to say there is reason to believe the COVID-19 pandemic may have originated elsewhere? Josh Hawley writing this into the bill does not make it anymore valid than the counter point to that statement.
I don’t think that non-school public (ie. government-ran) libraries here are any different from legal perspective: since I am funding my local public library, and since the library has a limited budget, I expect to have a say as a voter as to what books I want it to stock and take space on shelves. For example, I am very much opposed to it stocking books in foreign languages, because few people even can read these, and so I don’t consider it an effective use of public resources. This is no different than, say, having a say (through elected representatives) in where I want public infrastructure resources to be spent on. Point is, voters have every right to direct the government to buy or throw away any books from public libraries as they please.

Having the legal argument out of the way, I think that there is very little interest in political action directed to remove books from non-school public libraries. People who can get their books from there, can also just buy them on Amazon, and these certainly are not and will not be banned by any sort of government in the United States. Thus, it would be pointless and ineffectual to exercise political power here.

In any case, it is extremely hard for me to not be angry at activists, who, through language games, are trying to confuse people into supporting their goal, which is to force the people to buy and make easily available to children certain books that the people very much do not want to buy and make easily available to children.
> But don't we normally consider drivers responsible for crashing into objects towards which they're travelling?

No. If you are traveling a highway at posted speed and have a green light, and someone makes a left turn across your path, you’re not responsible if you can’t stop in time. The turning vehicle must yield to all oncoming vehicles close enough to be a hazard.

Similarly no, you are not responsible if you hit a truck that simply pulls straight out onto a street with no regard for the oncoming vehicles, which have the right of way.
It’s good he’s saying this. But I think season 5 was really bitter toward technology and everything was so negative without any redeeming qualities.
That's like saying that everything you build with Lego is a pirate ship: To build anything with Lego, you first need Lego bricks. And if you already have those, then you can also build a pirate ship.

Turing completeness is defined on computational models, i.e. sets of instructions that you can use to build algorihms. Not on the algorithms themselves. If you can simulate a Turing machine using only the tools that your model gives you, then it's Turing complete. That doesn't mean that everything else you build using those tools is special in any way.
Such claims are only dangerous when untrue. There was no evidence of widespread fraud in 2020. Now 2016 is a different story, I’m pretty sure we found out Russia was trying to tip the scales for Trump and there was a whole investigation about it
Behind the bastards is excellent, I should start listening to that podcast again. It's fantastic that they're covering musk. Is there any explanation for why they think not paying their bills lead to a good outcome? Are there bills so high that somehow they control the other side or something ridiculous like that?
“Supposedly”? That kind of claim really needs a level of proof beyond “it would be politically convenient if this were true”.

> I saw a lot of polls with a vast majority voting for the initial blackout but the tone of the response to this indefinite blackout feels way different.

It's selection bias. The average user didn't care or know about the initial blackout. Now that they're affected, they're more likely to vote in these polls.
When you need blithering, ChatGPT is there for you.
I'd like to see the Venn diagram of the people who think that Musk is just being savvy by breaking contracts and the people who are vehemently against any student loan debt forgiveness, crying "You signed a contract!" and "It only benefits the wealthy!"

When Doctors Use a Chatbot to Improve Their Bedside Manner
Given that "The Pile" includes PubMed and NIH as data sources it would be unlikely to have GPT4 not use them at all. Even GPT3 uses Wikipedia which does have (mostly) factual data with cited sources.

I don't know how its performance compares, but its architecture is completely different: LangChain is a "normal" software library, but Gorilla is itself an LLM:

> Gorilla is a LLM that can provide appropriate API calls. It is trained on three massive machine learning hub datasets: Torch Hub, TensorFlow Hub and HuggingFace. We are rapidly adding new domains, including Kubernetes, GCP, AWS, OpenAPI, and more. Zero-shot Gorilla outperforms GPT-4, Chat-GPT and Claude. Gorilla is extremely reliable, and significantly reduces hallucination errors.

My reading of that abstract is that it's an LLM that outputs API calls instead of natural language (or maybe it still outputs natural language, but it can use API calls during inference? I didn't read very far), whereas LangChain is simply a software library. In theory, you could probably get Gorilla to output LangChain "API" (function) calls...
Good to know, but I've racked up a decent bill for just my GPT 3.5 use. I can get by with experiments using my ChatGPT Plus subscription, but I really need my own API access to start using it for anything serious.

> try wxWidgets 3

Update from my previous post: I took a look at release dates and wxWidgets 3 was available as far back as 2013, so that is the version my comments were based on (wxPython's version 4 series is the latest that's based on wxWidgets 3, that version of wxPython is the latest I've tested with).
There’s a lot of intelligence in a transfer switch that allows island mode - because it has to generate a sine wave when no utility one is present and sync back up with it when one returns.

The cheapest ones just cut power when the sine is lost and then make their own, and cut power when they see it return and then sync.

I wonder what the content of the pitch decks was? Is it just because GPT-4 gives unrealistically rosy numbers and is willing to outright lie, or is it genuinely better?
> Banks issuing debt is exactly how the supply of money grows.

You're overlooking the fact that private debt gets paid back, which reduces the supply of money.

> If someone has told you that inflation is caused only by government excess spending it is because they are pushing the agenda that government is 'bad'.

Or read books like Friedman's "Monetary History of the United States".

Feel free to take a shot at explaining why the US has had zero net inflation from 1800 to 1914 and endemic inflation after 1914? What happened in 1914?

So far I really like lemmy/Kbin, but the content and mobile apps I sorely miss quality-wise.
The “two justice systems” is a common rhetoric in class aware propaganda. The point is not that it you can buy your way into the “other justice system” it is that crimes committed by the owning class is prosecuted differently—if at all—than by the working class. The most clear cut example of this is how crack and cocaine possession had different punishments, crack popular among the working poor had harsher sentences than cocaine—which was popular among the rich—even thought it is the same drug.

Today you can see an equally clear cut example in e.g. Seattle’s attempt at re-criminalizing drug consumption. It is only public use which is being recriminalized, meaning this is basically just legislation against the homeless, The housed have a safe space where they can safely use and not be arrested.

Relating to OP, the two justice systems is simply how differently failure to meet financial obligation is prosecuted between the two classes. If a working person owed this much in rent, they would be forced into bankruptcy, or worse. Wage theft is allowed to fester unhindered without consequences. A working person who commits financial fraud and steals only a fraction of what their bosses have stolen from them, is usually met with a SWAT raid.
Its a rhetorical device. Certainly effective, you got the picture

Generation III reactors were also promoted as more affordable than Gen II before they had actually been built. Anyone can build a great reactor on paper. I would evaluate Gen IV cost and schedule numbers after they start generating power.

In 2014 Westinghouse still touted high confidence in affordable, predictable construction for its Generation III AP1000 design:

https://web.archive.org/web/20141225195417/http://westinghou...

From the outset, the AP1000 PWR was designed to reduce capital costs and to be economically competitive with contemporary fossil-fueled plants. This requires lower overnight construction costs and higher confidence in the construction schedule.

The AP1000 plant reduces the amount of safety-grade equipment required by using passive safety systems. Consequently, less Seismic Category I building volume is required to house the safety equipment (approximately 45 percent less than a typical reactor). The AP1000 plant’s modular construction design further reduces the construction schedule and the construction risks, with work shifted to factories with their better quality and cost control as well as labor costs that are less than those at the construction site.

This also allows more work to be done in parallel. The use of heavy lift cranes enables an “open top” construction approach, which is effective in reducing construction time.

With new computer-modeling capabilities, Westinghouse is able to optimize and choreograph the construction plan of an AP1000 unit in advance by simulation. The result is a very high confidence in the construction schedule.

In actuality, AP1000 construction went so far over budget and behind schedule that it bankrupted Westinghouse 3 years later:

That same president also claimed it would be gone by the summer of 2020. The same president even claimed it would never make it to the USA! Maybe this will be a case of a broken clock being correct twice a day but it was certainly thrown in with quite a bit of incorrect information that was being spewed at those daily briefings. I don’t blame anyone for being skeptical of the information coming out of the Trump administration during that time.
Practically speaking, what can we do to avoid this?

I don't have Google accounts, I browse with a handful of privacy extensions to block ads and trackers, I use custom DNS, my iPhone is mostly a brick, my old car is also a brick, I don't have any smart home devices, I'm mindful about what I sign-up for, I make a point to cancel accounts I'm not using, I don't have an Amazon account, I don't shop with my phone in store to avoid the Bluetooth beacons, etc.

But I still use a credit card, I pay bills, I have Comcast service, I buy things online, I use GPS, I still have a handful of subscriptions, and who knows what happens to personal information when applying for jobs—I'm sure it changes hands over and over via the ATS company.

For those of us who care about maintaining a sense of privacy—what are some things people can do to meaningfully minimize their footprint? Or am I not thinking about this the right way?

It feels like a losing battle. Maybe that's the point: a "sense" of privacy is as far as one can get.
"Set and setting" [0] is a widely known phrase, in those scenes.

The phrase attempts to catchily summarise the vital prerequisites, in any substance-taking situation - and this applies to alcohol too, as one of the potentially hardest drugs - of a suitable mindset, and a suitable (location, social, safe, fun, ...) setting.

And when you think about it, the general approach could apply beyond this context, to many things. If you get your mind happily aligned, and are going into a positive situation you enjoy, then that's a pretty large bias toward success! Drug or otherwise.

Something similar happened to me during the great yahoo hack. My email stayed compromised even across password changes, so I deleted my account. So the person taking it over undid that then updated the recovery information. I was never able to regain control of that account that I'm certain spams my contact list to this day.

After that I stopped deleting accounts. I maintain a firm grip on every one, even ones I never plan to use again (including facebook and reddit).

Those aren't the problems I was expecting to solve. Those are other problems that exist regardless of funding model, because they're fundamentally social problems.

Sounds like they want to let the US dominate, for whom are they really working for? Certainly not for their own interests, or perhaps that's part of their interests?
Yeah that makes sense. I suppose that juxtaposition just didn't click with my brain when I read it. Intelligent people can certainly be naive or ignorant.
You are correct about my spelling, apologies and shame!

Things that make low level code easier to understand and manipulate make whole systems harder to understand and manipulate. More abstractions make larger systems easier to reason about in the whole, but harder to debug at a low level. Each programmer gets angry at a different place in this spectrum. There is no refinement that helps here because every step you take is further towards one person’s taste and away from someone else’s.
Genuine question. What is the stopping the US from paying every experienced French Nuclear Engineer x 2 x Usual US cost Adjustment --> and letting them build here in the US ? France and US are allies, and likely aligned on climate goals. France has similar climate as many of the planned regions and has fairly high building standards.
