Your comment appears to imply Bayes theorem is all you need for a scientific framework and outside of that is just inadequate mathematical know-how to deploy it. I find it amazing really, a quintessential straight-from-the-summit [1] HN comment for a couple reasons:

First, it appears to imply that such a probabilistic inductive approach to science would be free of any philosophical baggage or assumptions, when deploying Bayesianism requires an interpretation about what a probability itself is. Don't take it from me though, perhaps from Andrew Gelman, the guy who wrote the book on Bayesian data analysis [2,3].

Then, wrt the charge that those who do not use such an inductive approach (or outright rejected it, e.g. in favour of falsificationism) are bad at math. Which would include the statisticians who developed the null hypothesis significance testing framework that is still pretty dominant in science today: Jerzy Neyman, Egon Pearson, Ronald Fisher (who literally coined the term 'Bayesian') etc. There's a lot of criticism worth making about Fisher, but I'm not sure if anyone has called the guy that developed linear discriminant analysis bad at math before.

Couldn’t it mean that closed down reactors, such as those at Barsebäck, could potentially re-open at some time in the future (after restoration, testing, etc.)?
Zotero is great, but only if enhanced with plugins and a few settings. I don't use Zotero Better Notes so far, but here's my list:

At some point the Western countries will have to choose between "making Putin or Xi happy" and "burning less coal in the interest of some climate statistics", they can't have it both ways.

Or they could just revamp their industrial base and try to catch China when it comes to solar panel manufacturing, or to brush away countless environmental protection measures and open up a uranium mine close to places like Aspen, Colorado or to some other places in Idaho recently invaded by California refugees, but I don't see any of those two things happening anytime soon.
What enrages me the most about this is that a few years back Sweden decided to shut down some of its reactors instead of doing maintenance on them because something something electricity prices.

In the past few years electricity prices skyrocketed, there was an electricity shortage, and the government scrambled to mete out compensations for electricity (too little too late)
Yes, this message is speaking to the voters, who have been triggered by political parties to expect nuclear as the only solution. ("Build That Wall!")
IIRC you can't just re-open a stopped nuclear reactor. You have to fully rebuild one from scratch.
Yeah its weird, but the author consistently produces well polished and effective documents. You see that sort of conversational technique used in other places to great effect so the odd bit really is just the furry stickers part.

And I guess I feel that we should be accepting of a little weirdness as an audience, especially considering the quality? I don't have that idea all figured out but the two concepts feel related.

Kind of, but STAR is boring and there's generally no emotional journey. You just start with the problem and then it's immediately solved.

In the hero's tale it kind of starts of happy and then something goes wrong. STAR misses out half of the story. It's like if Shrek started just before the wedding with a narrative explanation of the problem Shrek was trying to solve.

I think a part of the purpose of pseudocode is it helps you focus on what the code is trying to do and it removes the distractions of syntax, style, etc.

You can probably just use LLMs to convert the pseudocode anyway.
I find it hard to reconcile "The weekly help sessions ended up being a million lost students in a giant hall waiting to see one of a few dozen TAs offering uneven pedagogical quality." with "very, very well-funded class".

Why didn't the funding go to hiring more staff?

My experience in a state school had far more access to education staff than what you describe, and for less funding.
Punishment is not effective for most people in reducing crime. One thing that is effective is increasing the perceived risk of getting caught. People rarely commit crimes when they are sure they will be caught.
> it would actually be worse bullshit to claim that the “random number generator” generates cryptographically random-enough source material that your password can’t be cracked.

We are in agreement.

I would argue the threat model of cracking a psuedorandom string of 16 characters would probably want to start with a copy of the rng implementation used, but still the question remains what is the least “bullshit” way to respond?

You seem to want critical guidance, a la “INTERCAL as your choice of language may make your code vulnerable”, but INTERCAL was the ask.

That’s what the author wanted, and the author left out any explanation for the generator’s intended use, or cryptographic requirements.

Rather than appear to be advocating for using this INTERCAL “password generator” for any real world use, my point was that I think the solution the author produced should be a capability of these models.

For sake of clarity, it is my opinion that if you want cryptographic security you should use libsodium, but if you want to watch these models flounder use an adhoc rng implemented in INTERCAL.
Barsebäck was closed down almost 20 years ago. There is not much to re-use there. There may be something to salvave at Ringhals but not worth it more than for sentinental reasons.

It would be like renovating a 50yo veteran car. Maybe fun for someone but not worth the effort. That was also one of the main reasons it was closed down. It was simply reaching its end of life and required a major overhaul that neither government or owners were willing to invest.

Actually, there is a reason to support one interpretation over another. Specifically that it's really hard to define what an "observer" is in the Copenhagen interpretation.

The MW/Everett interpretation is what we have left if we remove the things we cannot define.

There are also reasons to believe other interpretations. For instance, if you're religious, that could pull you towards the Bohr interpretation, since it may make it easier to assume that observation could be linked to an immortal soul.

In any case, it's not natural to assume that below QM there exists a reality that is more similar to our instinctual world model than QM is. If anything, anything below it is likely to be even more abstract and hard to comprehend.

Or it could be that the principles of QM applies all the way down, just as we've seen for the pieces of the SM that we solved after QM was first introduced (strong force, electroweak force).

These are good points. In my opinion, Kotlin is easy to get into for anyone with some programming experience (not necessarily Java) and it is very well documented.
The issue though is the tooling. Maven or Gradle is what's hard to get into, not Kotlin itself as a language. It sucks that there is such a barrier to just get things running. If there was a simple "rustup" or "cargo" like command that sets everything up imo. it would be more popular.
The best argument against free soloing is free soloing. Mortals don't usually get very far before it puts the fear of God in them. The one's who do are wired different, and are outliers even within the climbing community. Myself, I'm a bit stupider. I soloed several radio towers as a teen, and have done my share of questionable scrambling, but I didn't get very far at all with free soloing proper before I started to experience PTSD-like symptoms, and stopped.
The dose is really low. I wonder if you actually feel much.
I think I get the gist of your sentiment, and somewhat agree, but let me clarify.

GPL, only enforces redistribution of software you distribute, "to" the people you desteibute it to, aka customers.

Most other licenses (MIT, Apache, BSD, etc) don't require any code redistribution (though some require attribution).

GPL ~= redistribution to customers
Other ~= no redistribution

Red Hat is complying with the GPL requirements even for BSD, Apache, and BSD licensed code, which I think is good.

I think a more sinister trend forming is around open core, and essentially proprietary code mixed with no code redistribution at all. This makes open core essentially closed source for all intents and purposes. Companies are using open core simply for free marketing and to drive technology adoption in the sales/marketing funnels.

USA is 1.5 deaths per 100 million miles from your link. That's about 9.3 deaths per billion km.

Other comparable countries would be Australia and New Zealand which have 5.2 and 7.2 deaths per billion km respectively.

USA is still well behind on that metric.

9,600 tonnes as "best guess" estimated recoverable according to the 2022 Uranium Red Book .. which is typical for most countries (low (ish)) and it falls on the expensive side per kilo to extract.

Australia has about 2 million tonnes, measured, concentrated in three fairly dense sites with a good chance of more elsewhere.

Kazakhstan has twice the ore (at much better grades) than Russia .. one of the reasons Russia is keen to hang onto the 'stan satellite states.

ADDENDUM: The May 2022 report indirectly (via a CNN link) mentioned above is

and mentions Russian "dominance" falling from 2018 to 2020 while outling approaches to continue this fall.

It seems hardly surprising that one of the two major Cold War super powers has almost but not quite half of the global processing capacity. It seems a trivial exercise to guess who might also have nearly half the global uranium processing capacity.
> different comprehension of what rules mean

You're swinging right back to the context and meaning of the rules that were presented during the assigned task. What I wrote isn't really about that. It's about the assigned task itself and the self assessment of whether or not it was completed faithfully. That's where the cognitive bias becomes plainly observable.

There are the rules presented during the task. Separately there are the instructions given for the task itself. To me it feels a bit like a failure to reason with layers of abstraction. Almost an inability of most people to reason about and interpret the rules differently in different contexts. They're stuck in the "real world" context and can't seem to switch to the "hypothetical framework" context laid out in the instructions.

> From the other perspective, hyper-rationality is a dysfunction ...

When obstinately adhered to in a general context, certainly. This was not a general context. It was an exercise with specific and reasonably unambiguous instructions. Openly deviating from them would be quite different than what can be observed in this comment section - deviating while claiming to have followed them.

On any other website I would be inclined to assume a certain lack of literacy or comprehension. Not so with this audience.
No, I think if the coup was fake they probably faked those deaths.

I'm not even sure if the MOD confirmed them. The details might have just "appeared" on telegram.

That sounds way too slow, just go with lowest or the second lowest quality. I think even the lowest quality works just as well.

Also you can rent a GPU on vastai or runpod, go with 3090 which should cost like 0.29 or even 0.15 if you go with spot pods.
Yup, while an LLM might know a cat in language contexts, I know what petting a cat feels like, both physically and emotionally. Can run little physics or visual simulations in my head etc., and have needs and drives which are obviously all still missing.
The article [1] (which is not paywalled) does not challenge that. It specifically excluded the very small percent of people with genetic disorders, like leptin deficiency, which can genuinely directly drive obesity. If you look at e.g. compulsive gamblers, you're going to find substantial genetic differences in these individuals relative to those who do not find themselves addicted to gambling.

This obviously doesn't mean that genetics are making them bet their house on black. But if there's any genetic component to factors like self discipline, impulsiveness, and other factors then these would show up when you look at differences between people where those sort of characteristics can work as a driving (or mediating) factor.

What I find so fascinating about this topic is how extroverts have such a incredibly difficult time accepting that some people just don’t need interpersonal contact. Why do you feel the need to question people as if you know more about them than they know about themselves, as if you’re trying to catch them out in a lie? Why is is so hard to accept what they say at face value?
No, because those are different situations.
I am pretty sure that my understanding of something (or lack of) is not encoded into words and probabilities. It's more like a feeling of "I got this figured out" or "I haven't grasped this".

Words seem more like a protocol to express some internal model/state in the brain and can never capture the entire actual state, only a small part of it. But since we're not telepaths, we obviously need to use words to exchange information.
You and I have the exact opposite opinions on this. I own all 3 major consoles but I only find the Xbox controller and UI nice to use. I subscribe to gamepass and have no interest in PS+. My PS5 is only used for playing GoW, Final Fantasy, and Uncharted.

I also having a gaming PC where I use an Xbox controller, racing wheel, or VR controls.

I still don't understand why people like the PS5 haptics. To me, they don't feel like they add anything and just drain the battery.

Given that there's plenty of options for every point in the README.md, one thing missing is how to guarantee that your stack does not miss requests from paying customers, metering usage & avoid ballooning server costs. I see a lot of YC startups trying to solve this Lago, Paigo etc.

I'm trying to evaluate best serverless solutions for inference without compromising on client usage & reducing idle time on GPU boxes. So far its down to base10, HF, Banana, I'll end up pooling them all & then sending requests between them. For dedicated training boxes Lambda, Modal, Oblivus, Runpod are the contenders.
This may be overly negative to a whole field, but I sometimes feek the platform teams add more hurdles than "stability and velocity".

At places with basically no platform team, no advanced cloud setup etc, I as a dev could understand everything, and deploying mostly meant getting my jar file or whatever running on some ec2 instance.

Now I need to write a dockerfile, loads of manifests, know about ingresses, use whatever custom tooling and abstractions they've built on top of the cloud provider.

And what used to be a single guy is now a huge team just adding more complexity. And I'm having a hard time understanding if it's worth it, or just a cost sink.
The Stihl line are great - but pricey.

That includes military being one massive mess with horrible conditions for soldiers and comparatively larger looses.

Same thing, west can not go in and occupy current Russia either, but that does not make the country any less dysfunctional mess comparatively. Same with imperial Russia.
