> why was there this idea that burying waste now was a good idea?

I've already answered that: nobody actually thought it was a good idea. It was imposed as a policy because the actual (though of course not publicly admitted) purpose of the policy was to kill nuclear power by imposing unreasonable requirements on it. (It's possible, I suppose, that the Cold War rationale you give played a role, but I don't think it's very likely; that objective could have been met without requiring anything like 100,000 year storage.)

According to Agner Fog's manuals, the physical register file of a Zen 2 FPU contains 168 vector registers of 256 bits each. In total the vector registers hold 5 kB, so much less than the 32 kB L1 data cache, which isn't that large on the die image. Even if the middle of the FPU includes the register file, the regular structure must be mostly something else.

Where was that kind of thinking involved in this at all?
Oh I agree it might be a good thing for the site. But it will be an incredible expense that I’m not sure the company can even afford. As well as the fact the site might not even be compatible with paid moderation. Every other social media lets users just post whatever they want as long as it’s not a site wide rule violation. But reddit thrives on moderators curating communities to a certain quality level.

It’s easy for paid mods to remove abuse and illegal content. But it will be much harder for them to filter out off topic or low effort posts.

> They're not the same buildings

Not exactly the same but same generation, architecture and design (Westinghouse), slightly (not fundamentally) enhanced. Stating that new features add such a large amount of work (relatively to the total amount) that it compensates for the knowledge gained thanks to previous projects is debatable.

Between the oldest (CP0) and newest (N4) aren't the key differences limited to a same machine and command room shared (CP0) or not (N4) between reactors, scale (CP0's nominal power being lower), and details related to fuel rods and pipes? In which way are they dissimilar to the point of absorbing the effect of gained knowledge and adding such delays?

Even the shiny new EPR is a mere enhancement of the core design dating back ~1970.

Sorry, I don't know enough about SpaceX to have an opinion.
it's much easier to live without Russian software than to live without non-Russian software. I'm not criticizing their paranoia - the West can and will infiltrate their systems - but it's so much easier for America to blacklist Kaspersky Antivirus and 7-zip than for Russia to blacklist Windows, OS X, all major Linux distros (can they even use the Linux kernel at all?), Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OracleDB, Mysql, Photoshop, Autocad, Visual Studio (Code), Chrome, Firefox, etc. not to mention all the embedded controller firmware on all the devices they import.

Like, if they actually went so far as to require fully Russian source code for anything running on a government machine, they'd be starting back from the 70s. Good luck.

No, likely they'll farm out contracts to cronies who will slap their logo on pirated or open-source projects and sell it to the Russian government for a hefty markup.
The brand backing helps, but Nintendo still sells plenty of copies of Mario, the gameplay if which wasn't all that inspired back in the day either. Even Spelunky is just a good implementation of a type of game dating back to the late eighties.

Consider indie titles like Minecraft and PUBG taking off with completely ripped off assets and game ideas because they made a great version of an existing concept. Minecraft had the visual style of a 2005 bargain bin game and PUBG is the blandest of bland models and art design coupled with a good implementation of their earlier mod. You don't need to be all that original, gameplay or art style wise, to make a game successful.

I don't think this particular art style was all that common on the PS4 or Xbox One. There was a lot wrong with the way they presented and marketed the game, but I don't think the art style is that much of a problem.

Mega agree with this. It was really bad for my personal/career growth to get a ton of praise for doing things fast: granted, a lot of people doing the praising had precious little experience in tech themselves. I probably have 2-3 whole dead years where I could have been learning/improving a lot more but got put in “10x developer” expectation projects where I’d churn something out, get a big shiny star sticker for it, and then 2 years later it would be abandoned because there was no incentive for anyone but me to maintain it, and who would want to because it was shitty code with hacks and tech-debt, and anything that isn’t writing a fucking mountain of new garbage code gets in the way of shiny star collection.

MSDS in general are crap. They require wearing full PPE to work with table salt (not kidding, see: https://www.intrepidpotash.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Mo... ). Manufacturers use them to cover their asses.

Glyphosate is a true victim of post-truth society. It has not been shown to cause any harm in multiple well-controlled experiments, yet a jury in San Francisco (no brains allowed there) found Monsanto liable for a cancer that they attributed to glyphosate use. Because Monsanto is bad and does GM food which is bad for you because glyphosate causes cancer.

And now "everybody knows" that glyphosate is somehow bad.

The toxicology section of the MSDS with actual information is great, though:

SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Eye Causes moderate eye irritation.
Skin May cause slight irritation.
Ingestion Not expected to produce significant adverse effects when
recommended use instructions are followed.
Inhalation Not expected to produce significant adverse effects when
recommended use instructions are followed.
Information on toxicological effects
Acute oral toxicity LD50 (Rat) > 5,000 mg/kg
Acute dermal toxicity LD50 (Rat) > 5,000 mg/kg No deaths
Skin corrosion/irritation Slight irritant effect - does not require labelling.

Basically, they have not managed to cause dermal toxicity even after slathering rats in glyphosate. Yet you must burn clothes if glyphosate gets on them.

Are there any actual studies on how many people are just saying it to be trendy? Or is this signal just boosted by social media?
No, the Norse influence is small relative to Norman. Something like 30% of modern English is Norman-French derived, with thousands of direct cognates.

History is rarely simple though! The Normans themselves were a hybrid of Viking settlers and locals. So it's likely that quite a few of those French words we absorbed into English have Old Norse roots.
We all know 90% of VC money will eventually generate no return. That's precisely the model. The problem us that it's hard to predict which 10% will win.

The alternative to VC funding is either traditional bank finance, or boot-strapping. Incidentally neither is terribly more effective at picking winner's- its commonly reported (although I don't know how accurate) that 90% of businesses will fail within 5 years. It kinda makes sense, most ideas kinda suck.

Selling equity to raise money is the worst kind of financing. Most businesses are better off getting bank loans, or bootstrapping. Learning how yo make do, how to build profit on a shoestring, how to be efficient is a good thing.

VC money is useful for a different kind of business. One which needs significant capital, but has potential for massive returns.

I find it hard to feel sympathy for employees who go to work for a startup, get significant salaries, know the risks, and squander their salaries well enough to have nothing to show from it. In an era of a pitiful minimum wage I don't think they're the "working class".

While individual time is certainly wasted either thus model (and indeed all models) societal time is not. By trying lots of things simultaneously we save time overall.

It has ever been thus. When airplanes were invented everyone and their friend started a plane company. Innovation exploded. There was consolidation and now we have a handful. There are startups in the aviation space, but nibbling at the fringes, not aiming to be "the Boeing killer".

Cars are interesting because there's a disruptive transition coming (well, 2 actually). This opens the door to a Tesla (Not to mention a bunch of other EV startups that failed.) In the long run I expect Tesla to either get acquired into an existing manufacturer, die, or become a niche brand. The bulk of EVs will be made by VW , Toyota,GM,Ford etc .

This doesn't mean Tesla money is wasted. It showed the makers there's a market for EVs. That changes the world.

> This looks like an indie game that I would have expected to have launched during the time period that this was written

Disagree. I think it genuinely looks significantly worse: it's so thoroughly brown, and the blocky level design looks like a zillion super mario clones. That seems like a bigger factor to me; yes, it matters that you can't tell what's going on looking at the gameplay, but that would be much less of an issue if it looked good/interesting.
There's a lot here that is pretty general and not Python specific, let's add some of those.

* Don't use map/filter/select unless you have no other choice. Prefer comprehensions.

* If a loop can be expressed by a comprehension then it should be.

* If you can get away with a context manager, prefer that over destructors.

* Put your unit tests in classes rather than module_level functions.

* Have def main if __name__ == __main__: main() over entrypoints that have logic at the module level.

* Inheritance and multiple inheritance in Python is fantastic. Prefer it over composition.

* Remove the word lambda from your vocabulary.

* If possible avoid returning a list and instead prefer a generator.

* Replace "for key in dict" with "for key, value in dict.items()" as your default way of iterating over a dict.

* Whenever possible use pathlib over open and always specify the encoding for files opened in text mode.

* It's more common to have "def abstractfunc: pass" than raise NotImplementedError.

* One file one class is for Java people, in Python pack it all in one file.

* obj.register(func) should probably be a decorator "@obj.register def func: …"

* Take advantage of truthy/falsely values such as [] being false. Not if len(list) > 0 but if list.

* Write a good __repr__ for every class.

* Take advantage of keyword only arguments to enforce subject.verb(object, adj1=2, adj2=2).

* If you leave black at the default of 80 characters someone will egg your GH profile.

* Add logging using the logging module and let the user if your lib decide if they're useful or not.

* Abuse implicit string literal concatenation over str + str + str

* Formatting strings with % or .format is out. Either f-strings or the string.template library.

* Use StringIO over string concatenation.

* Raise an exception over returning Union[Ok, Err] or Optional[T].

* Log a warning over using the warnings module.

* Allow reading API keys from
environment variables.

* from package import Thing is preferred unless the module in question is just a collection of functions.

* Use StrEnum over stringly typed function args.

* Do pass around bound methods even though it might feel wrong.

See, if you were working in the field (any field, really) you'd know that the software stack is usually certified for that particular field.

For EMV, for example, it actually doesn't matter if you have an internet-connected device; you aren't loading a new kernel that hasn't been certified onto the device, and considering that the cost of recertification can sometimes be more than simply moving the customer to new hardware, it's very rarely done.

So, yeah, for hobbyists, having updates is important.

For industry, once something is certified they aren't going to want to eat the cost of recertification unless there's a really good reason.

PS. You shouldn't be this arrogant in an area where you yourself claim to have no expertise. I actually am an expert experienced in large-scale deployments of devices, and I'm keeping my tone as level as possible. You should do the same as well.

Flanders north sea ship wreck database:

300+ wrecks in a tiny part of one of the busiest seas in the world.

There exists a bigger database of 2000+ wrecks, marked with 1) are there dead people i.e. is it a grave. 2) Are there live or inactive munitions? 3) Are there nasty chemicals. I don't know if they put it online already.

Don't be an idiot and try to dive in there, BTW, these things are dangerous.
OK, I briefly looked at posts on Lemmy.ml. I saw nothing about China or communism. But so what if it is there? Other people posting on a particular instance doesn't reflect at all on the Lemmy code or project. Is it so hard to link to something specific and offensive the authors themselves wrote or did?
Regulations (as sibling comment mentioned) is one aspect, but also the cost of screwing up is real-world. A status quo system that isn’t screwing up has a much higher bar to replace where the risk that the replacement system will screw up.

Much of the same reasoning and even more extremely applied, is medtech - hence why you see many medical imaging setups still obviously running a version of Windows XP.

Some people will use the term castellano as a way to refer to Spanish, as spoken in Spain, as opposed to 'español de España". They probably aren't looking too deeply into the differences between speakers in Spain though, as when one compares a speaker from, say, Asturias, who will probably never use half of the past tenses, and might even use an even more irregular version of ser, vs someone from different parts of Andalucia, where you could cut the /s/ sound, or the /c/ sound, or the /z/ sound, or even multiples.

Ultimately the fun part of talking about languages is that no matter how much one person might believe that their terms are clear and unambiguous, if the community of speakers is large enough, you are bound to find competing meanings either way.
> By far the biggest mistake I think the original designers of GraphQL made was putting "QL" in the name

No. The biggest mistake why not emphasising to people the usecase they solved which was having many many different front end consumers and having to create many permutations of the same endpoints to cover web, mobile, various applications in different states, time to deliver endpoints to the teams. Etc

Unless you are also building your entire hardware from scratch, including the CPU, and writing or auditing all firmware and device drivers, "zero trust" is a fantasy.

Zero trust means verifying everything. Not only has no living person verified the entire technology stack they are using, it is literally impossible to do so for any modern consumer device, since they all contain closed hardware and software that affects the trust model yet cannot be verified in any meaningful sense.
Yeah, PRC isn't so much doing an opium war on US as watching US doing an opium war on herself and not helping. Which PRC did when relations where good. Now the relationship is bad, there's no reason to waste PRC domestic resources to assist the US war on drugs.

Also important to note it wasn't the Opium in Opium War that led to the century of humiliation - the humiliation was due to the War that weakened the Qing mandate and economic consequences of the unequal treaties. Great Britain via gunboat diplomacy forced Qing to open trade to opium that Qing tried to ban domestically by seizing stocks from British merchants. The shame/damage wasn't having citizens tripped up on drugs and the social ills that entail, but loss of sovereignty/state capacity over economic affairs that drained silver reserves and reversing trade surplus, which had knock on consequences. Wasn't addicts that brought down Qing, but the throne being weakened due to loss of sovereignty and inability to put down multiple uprisings due to loss of treasure. PRC waging opium war on US comparison only works if PRC was militarily coercing the US to not enforce domestic drug policies. As if that can happen. Does PRC propaganda benefit from US inability to curtail drug use domestically? Yes. But not enough to not cooperate with the US on drug trade when the relationship was good.
Summing it up:

* avoid over imagination / premature optimization

* Incentivise for organisational efficiency

Get a burglar visit your home, and poof! Your savings are gone. Also, zero interest on those (admittedly less of a concern in the 2009-2022 era).

It’s just so inconvenient to move such amount of cash that I’d probably ask myself _why_ somebody would do that in 2023.
Yeah good times! The other day I was browsing for the 999th time Steve Smith's book "The Scientist and Engineer's Guide to Digital Signal Processing"[1] and stumbled upon the chapter on NN[2]: I remember ready this when I was a student I could make sense of it and why it worked, but reading it 15 years later I find it is explained so clearly compared to other resources! (maybe experience is playing in my favor too)

You got a BASIC code snippet for training and inference and mos of all, there is an explicit use-case for digital filter approximation! At the time NN were treated as a tool among other ones, not a "answer-to-everything" type of thing.

I know Deep Learning opened new possibilities but a lot of time CNN/RNN/Transformers are definitely not needed: working on the data instead and using "linear" models can go really far (my 2 cents)

I love this micro-structure sort of stuff. Another good one is nacre (aka "mother of pearl")[1], which is composed of microscopic hexagonal platelets, made from aragonite. Nanotechnology is pretty old and common tech, it seems; we just don't have a good handle on it ourselves, yet.

On a different note, one interesting theory is the "Clay origin of life"[2], where life began with non-organic crystal replication, and bootstrapped from there. Reminds me of the phrase "humans are the reproductive organs of machines". Maybe the crystals are the ones really driving the show, and we were just developed to help out (:

Discord does have search, but I really hope they do not improve it.

The lack of good search really prevents the hostility towards new users that you often see on Reddit/forums where every question is instantly answered by a one liner "use the search" reply.

Discord communities are some of the most friendly and welcoming communities I have ever encountered on the internet. I think a large part of it is the chat nature and inability to easily pull up old comments.
