it's not using PMT's it's using silicon photomultipliers, those can be had in the $5 to $10 range. At first sight the most expensive part seems to be the CsI crystal.

Perhaps polystyrene or PMMA or another transparent plastic could serve as a cheaper alternative, but probably at the cost of energy resolution, although this study binned the energies anyway.

I don't think anyone is arguing about whether it's pleasant or not. I personally hate this lifestyle even though that's where I grew up, but that's irrelevant, the only thing that matters is that a car-centric suburbia is unsustainable at scale...

Carlo Rovelli’s rebellious past and how it made him a better scientist

For the last 30 years, Carlo Rovelli has been the source of some of the most intriguing ideas in fundamental physics, ranging across quantum physics and Einstein’s general relativity. This exclusive short film, "The Meaning of Meaning", gives us some insights into his rebellious past, and how that makes for good science.

What are your thoughts?
This. Just point to the definition in your language (NOT the category theory, unless that's what you're coding in).

In Haskell, a Monad is a type class with a method `bind`. In Scala that would be a `flatten` or whatever.

If a person who's asking doesn't yet know what the "type class" is, or how to read signatures, your "monad tutorial" would not make much sense anywat. Guide them to learn the prerequisites first.
One reason is that small innocent changes like this can cause a large wave of dependent changes inside the GL implementation, shaders may be patched or recompiled, internal 'state group objects' discarded and recreated, and those expensive actions might happen at a random point further down in another GL call. Also those details differ between GPU vendor drivers, and sometimes even driver versions. This is what makes GL extremely unpredictable when it comes to profiling the CPU overhead, and why modern 3D APIs prefer bundling state into immuntable state-group-objects.

For other things, specifically WebGL may need to run expensive input validation which might also trigger at more or less random places.

Also: it's very easy to forget one tiny state change out of dozens, which then mess up rendering in more or less subtle ways, not just for the rest of the frame, but the rest of the application lifetime.

Ask HN: Where do you find new interactive art/free games online? (like flash)
I was enjoying the Internet Archive's Classic flash games archive, and missing that sense of spontaneous creativity, created by regular people with ideas.

Does anyone have any sources or communities that are still producing this kind of art and entertainment for each other?
Not sure about the apps. I just use GTD on paper using a paper agenda combined with a binder to store everything. The main benefit is not having to remember everything that has to be done. When I was younger I found it very unpleasant to have all of these things in my head all the time. Then I discovered GTD and never looked back. As remarked in the article, not everything that comes in gets done. Once every so often it is a good idea to purge tasks that have been in there for quite a bit of time and still did not get done.
Usually they do this sort of thing professionally and they use these skills in their hobby projects as well. An electrical engineering degree would be a good start to acquire these kind of skills, alternatively a hardcore HAM or very serious hardware hobby.
Will there be better typography in WEbGPU?
My primary use case is ZFS but none of these devices seem to package SATA multiples, and getting a PCIx<n> eg 3 or 4 so you get full speed access across the drives is complicated by crap chipsets.

We have been using openSuSE Leap on our servers for at least 12 years and are quite happy with it. Compared to CentOS, Ubuntu LTS and Debian it has a yearly release cycle and 18 month support window.

https://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime

Upgrades between minor versions are quite easy to do and imply minimal risk. Since 15.3 if ones uses btrfs and something goes wrong the upgrade can also be rolled back. It has both yast (text ui) and zypper (cli) for system configuration and package installs, the config files in /etc are also quite sane, without lots of includes and convoluted hierarchy.

On the desktop we still use Unbutu LTS. I've tried to switch to Debian but had issues, I would have switched to Leap but it wasn't clear if it has Gnome desktop and how polished it is. Thmbleweed has got it, but since we use it for work we don't want our dev environment breaking.

What could also be possible is that US has improved its sensory technology, and while its known that the US is capable of listening to the sea, they may have some new edge they want to keep obscured from the likes of russia.

I’m just some guy, but it struck me as a possible way for the US to flex on the russians, especially right now when Putin is threatening to use nukes, and the US, by the book wouldnt want to because the US may not know where all of russias nuclear subs are supposed to be. It was a great opportunity for the US military apparatus to turn on a sort of fog of war machine… for all we know intelligence may have told the likes of James Cameron and Rob Ballard to say they got early news from their navy friends.

>That by itself isn't an issue. Plenty of companies take on debt to invest, for instance. My company intends to take €40bn of new debt in the next decade or so, and our investors don't see it as an issue.

But that isn't the case here. When the debt causes you to be bailed out by the government, is is an issue, wouldn't you agree?

EDF isn't a car maker that has to invest in a transition to electric cars (or whatever), they are basically bankrupt. EDF needs _additional_ billions in order to invest in the future, separate from the billions of debt it already accumulated. Since the organisation is nationalised, that money will come from the taxpayers.

>Plants have been decomissioned in the past already. Because of that, we have pretty reasonable estimates of how much dismantling costs.

Which decommissioned reactor are you thinking of?

Most decommissioned reactors are part of plants that have other active reactors, so they are not actually dismantled. EDF has postponed final decommissioning for several of its closed reactors by 50 years, Berkeley in the UK is still ongoing, Vandellos 1 in Spain (closed since 1990) will commence final phase in 2028, Rancho Seco in California, closed in '89 still costs money today, and so on.

Apart from that, the "end result" for decommissioning projects are always "and then the federal government takes over from here". Meaning that the true costs are unknown even when the projects are actually completed.

This is not FUD, it's reasonable concerns based on observed realities. A discussion can be had about nuclear power anyway - it has merits too of course - but the concerns can't simply be brushed aside and ignored. They are based on reality.
I don't know how long you've been in the industry but for me it's bittersweet and all too recognizable, so definitely funny but funny with an asterisk or quotes around it.

This is pretty good for bypassing captive portals on public Wi-Fi access points. Sometimes you can use it to get Internet for free without paying. These days most are more clever and will block everything other than the default gateway until you sign on.
> well, there are all these universities and professors who have tenure, there are all these journals, there are all these systems and people have been promised lifetime employment.”

Odd that tenure is singled out as the core of the problem. I'd say the undermining of tenure is a large part of the problem.

Research is hard - very hard - you are being asked to discover stuff nobody else has - to push the boundaries of knowledge. I would argue that the idea that one failed research project, and you are out on your ear because of a gap in publishing - is a core part of the problem.

In terms of medical doctors doing research - I'd argue that's a special dangerous mix - medical doctors need to have an element of self-belief just to be able to do their job ( life and death decisions ). Instilling it is part of the training.

That self-belief, plus a lack ( in most cases ) of any in depth scientific research training is a dangerous mix.

Medical training != science training.

In this specific case I have no idea about the rights and wrongs.

I don't think most Austrian econmists would self-identify as neoliberals. Politically they tend to be Libertarians (in the U.S.) or free market anarchists or minarchists (or I suppose laissez faire). Basically free-market instead of stat interventions. I belive most neoliberals quite readily accept state interventions, central banking etc.

The core tenent is that the free market is the best allocator of factors of production and entrepreneurial profit is the guiding factor. The state tends to interfere with this. It's best summarized in the socialist calculation debate.

However, there's also basically a split (mostly reconciled these days) betwen a more Hayekian wing which is more accepting of the mainstream (and could possibly self-identify as neoliberals) and the state in general and a wing that is more in the spirit of von Mises.

I think Python is probably way better suited to be the superglue you mention, and in many areas it already serves that function. Many Python libraries are high-level bindings for low-level C/C++/Fortran (or recently, Rust) libraries. Examples are numpy, scipy, tensorflow, PyQt, ....

Rust is great in the sense that it is very suitable for being embedded into other software as it doesn't have a runtime system (like e.g. Golang) and can be compiled for almost any architecture. Rust's usability for "regular" programmers and technical users is horrible in my opinion. I e.g. worked with scientists a lot (and was one myself) and in my lab everyone could wrap their head around Python in a couple of days and become productive very fast, whereas most people would throw in the towel when they had to write low-level code in C/C++. In terms of learning curve and complexity I would put Rust somewhere in the same ballpark with C++. There are many differences and Rust has a much better developer experience as it has a modern package manager and the toolchain is much nicer, but it's still a low-level language with many intricacies.
This is in the context of fighting Russia, and current events demonstrate that the legitimacy of a target is moot.

Premature optimization may sometimes be unadvisable, but in this case the optimized version uses half the memory, is two orders of magnitude faster, and doesn't let your users DOS you by triggering huge file reads on each request.
Because text rendering is (very) hard, and most 3D rendering people are not text rendering experts, but just want to get some text on screen even if it looks ugly. Unfortunately the browser lacks a proper layered API design with low level APIs at the bottom (like WebGL and WebGPU), medium level APIs in the middle (like text rendering and layout), and high level APIs at the top (like the DOM and CSS) - so if you want to render text in WebGL or WebGPU, you are entirely on your own.

APL is super powerful, I got to the level where I could 'read' (decode) it but I've never managed to get proficient at a level where I could write a significant chunk of code in it. Say a line or two ;)

FORTH is extremely easy to get into, a very powerful metaphor that has a ton of parallels in other languages, even if you don't realize it. There are strong connections between FORTH, LISP and shell programming languages to the point that they are in a manner of speaking different ways to express the same thing. Of those three I think LISP is the most complete and feature rich, and FORTH probably the least because it is much more barebones. But that upside of that is that it also requires absolutely no supporting infrastructure, the most basic access to a machine at the hardware level is enough to bootstrap to a usable system in an absolute minimum memory profile.
> The people who _enjoy_ the toil seem to truly struggle to comprehend that someone might not want to spend hours upon hours learning how to get things working, only to immediately forget.

It's worse than that, it's a religion. Many of them truly seem to believe they're achieving a higher "hacker rank" or something, while most of it is just tedium and very low level learning.

It's rarely learning huge, game changing concepts. Frequently it's just chasing obscure docs to obscure forums to obscure repos for stuff some PhD student half baked a decade ago on their way to their biochemistry thesis.

Guess what, I work in DevOps, that's just my dayjob, anyway, I don't want to do it as a hobby in Vim, too :-))

And I say this as an "also Vim user". I.e. I use Vim and I've used it for more than a decade, just not exclusively, best tool for the job and all that.
I settled on something very similar. I split between tasks and goals, and I subdivide tasks into to-do and backlog.

For example, "Implement a TSP solver in JS" is a task. "Learn JS" is a goal.

I'm very ok with the backlog being where good ideas go to die, and I'm very ok with sub-tasks (indented list).

"we should ban participating in traffic without the safety features of a new car." No we shouldn't for the same reason we don't ban bicycles, motorbikes, scooters,... which are at least as dangerous to drive as an old tiny car.

Tangentially related:

When I was in uni, I did a brief informal undergrad-level paper on modelling cosmological inflation using superfluid He-4. What I hadn't realised, and perhaps was supposed to discover, was that one of the unis [past] professors, Prof JF Allen, had worked in that field. As I read now I find that he actually was a co-discoverer of superfluid He-4.

The journal Nature describes him as "the last of a generation of independent-minded classical physicists". We knew him as "god" for his mystical presence on campus and his cartoon-God appearance, whispers followed him around the physics lounge. He also taught me QFT, or tried. It wasn't until after I graduated that I learnt the building really was named after him. I do wish that I had known to interview him about this field of modelling [cosmology] using superfluids.
