The idea of language contact reducing grammatical complexity isn't absurd, especially if you approach it from a linguist's perspective, and not a lay perspective. The misconception I think most people have is that the goal is to ask if English or Mandarin is more complex than the other--and that's a fool's errand. But it's not what's being observed. Instead, compare English to other Indo-European languages, especially its closest Germanic relatives. English is lacking in the Indo-European penchant for inflection, and you can pretty narrowly pinpoint the moment it happened: the influx of first the Danelaw and the Normans and the concomitant shift from Old English to Middle English.

If you then look at other languages, you can find other cases where individual languages seem unusually simple compared to their relatives. Swahili, the East African trade language, is rather simple compared to its other Bantu brethren. Malay is simpler than its nearest Austronesian relatives. Even Old Chinese does seem like it had a similar grammatical crash to English (compare it to the other Sino-Tibetan languages), just 3000-4000 years ago instead of 1000 years ago. You can also find cases like the Kartvelian languages, where the comparatively more isolated regions seem to produce somewhat more complex languages than the somewhat more easily accessible regions.

There's also a believable putative mechanism. It is a common observation that adult language learners tend to have a harder time learning languages than children. It's not hard to imagine that a language being learned by a lot of adults ends up having those new language speakers shave off some of the harder bits of the language, and those adults then passing on this shaved-off language to their kids (who are of course unaware that they're learning a simpler language).

Note that CNAMEs is literally caused by GDPR, and the pathway every single ad or tracking company seems to go sooner or later.

For people not understanding how it works: you can set a CNAME entry on your tracker.domain.tld to bypass all Browser's third-party tracking preventions, and make it look like it's a normal subdomain of your website.

You need to make a CNAME tracker database manually by resolving the reverse entries for known IPs. Usually there is hundreds or thousands of CNAME entries pointing to the same IP address.

The AdGuard team also made a database for this, in case anyone needs it for UBOL [1]

Most, if not all of those trackers use assets that they serve from there (like a tracking pixel gif socket), so I highly doubt that uBOL will catch those; because the cat and mouse game is now in the ad tracker's favor and it is impossible to keep up now. And that was the intended purpose. We now have to play our hand with marked cards.

Of course the article is just a puff public opinion piece. It doesn't change the economics:

Point ONE: nuclear is more expensive CURRENTLY that solar/wind. SOlar/Wind is currently the cheapest by far, and here's the scary thing for gas turbine: solar + storage is very close to druopping under gas combined cycle generation. Look up Lazard 2023 LCOE study. Solar/Wind have dropped to 24$ per MWHr. The cheapest nuclear produces is $141/MWHr. That's right, nuclear is almost 600% more expensive.

Point TWO: Say you miraculously got 100 billion dollars through congress for new plants to start immediate projects. Not a single reactor will come online for 10 years. Now, look at the cost improvement rate of solar, wind, and storage for the last 10 years. 10% year-on-year improvements or more. Even if we had half of that for the next 10 years (and there will be 10 more years of cost improvement), solar / wind very likely will be HALF the current cost.

So you'd have 100s of nuclear plants come online in 10 years generating electricity that costs 10-20x more than electricity from wind/solar. That simply is not a viable national power strategy.

If we had these plants already because construction started in the year 2000, that would probably be a different story.

The only hope for nuclear is probably in about 15-20 years where the cost improvement curves finally stabilize for wind/solar, and then a stable price point can be targeted with new nuclear designs. I personally think that only something like a novel MSR/LFTR which can scale down to mass producable sizes, uses all the fuel, breeds. doesn't have solid fuel rod reprocessing and waste transport/storage, and can use the Brayton cycle for more efficiency has a chance of competing with mature solar/wind.

Puff pieces like this are really about the current nuclear plants and keeping them on funding life support, which I generally support for now. The industry sees that Lazard LCOE curve just like any other person would: do you want to pay solar/wind costs for electricity, or 6x that for nuclear?

The existing nuclear industry can't survive without subsidies.
The second time you said that, the first time it seemed informative at least for anyone passing by but now its not, take a step back then and notice that I didn’t say we weren’t, I said the article/author didn’t factor it in

Japan does fuel reprocessing for its nuclear reactors, my understanding is that this allows them to just not need to import any more uranium. I believe there is still some waste product at the end of all of this, but it is a very manageable amount of it? That's my understanding at least.

The question is will these massive subsidises be better spent on nuclear or renewables and storage?

Over the years nuclear has enjoyed enormous subsidies. If it were not for the huge decrease in costs for renewables over the past couple of decades and huge increase in cost for nuclear I’d be much more enthusiastic about nuclear power.

"Lisp is simple" is mainly an ignorant meme that is used to belittle the interests of people who work in, or on, some kind of Lisp. There are simple aspects, but the aspects are numerous and the combination is complex.

1. It's a copy. You described copying. You can't sell something that's a copy of another person's work (with some exceptions). That's the basic principle of copyright infringement. The ruling doesn't stand for the principle that anything created by an AI can be free to sell. It stands for the proposition that an AI can't obtain a copyright because it isn't a creative author. Can I sell homemade VHS copies of the Seinfeld DVDs? Should I be able to?

2. An AI can't obtain a copyright, so, assuming it's not a work that violates an existing copyright, it would not be copyrightable.

France is already an exporter again, and was an exporter for 50 years. They had to import electricity for one year.

And, of course, they investigated why this happened, and it was because of anti-nuclear politics.

A Whole power plant with multiple reactors was closed to appease Germany, for example.

https://www.euractiv.com/section/energy/interview/french-mp-...

And enough water IS available for cooling. The output was only reduced in some power plants because the temperature difference between river inlet and river outlet was too big, which could cause issues to animals in the water. This was less than 0.2% of the total electricity produced by nuclear in 2022. There is an easy fix though: cooling towers.
What's the significance of Denmark in this context? Why not just get married in Germany?
> this reduces the peak daytime need for T&D, and the grid is sized for peak usage

Where I'm from, peak usage is on cold, dark, winter days. So there are no savings to the grid from locally generated solar as they still have to be fully dimensioned for a large load.

If the billing was honest, people with solar+local battery would have $0 bills throughout most of the year and then January hits and they get a $3000 bill for using the grid over the coldest, darkest 3 days.

I'm all for solar - every marginal reduction of fossil fuels used is a big win. We just have to be honest about the costs and challenges.
Consultants are software engineers for human software, i.e. how a business runs itself. Just like software engineering, there are best practices, state-of-the-art, ways to pass on knowledge from seniors to juniors, etc. Just like software there are company 'assets' (the source code repository) with past cases, problems that were solved and how (or not solved and why not), etc. They are very similar businesses actually that just scale differently: consulting scales worse than software but at much lower risk as all 'development' is funded (typically mostly by the first customer than partially by N+1).

I live in the spitting distance from the world's largest nuclear plant complex in the world. I do not live in a daily fear. In fact it's very easy to forget. The current government is very bullish on nuclear.

The government however is also betting on oil and gas and have recently annoucned, with funding from saudi arabia, the nation's largest oil refinary project. They are also redirecting funds from renewable energy like solar and wind to nuclear, citing fraud and immaturity of the technology. The plant operator has been under constant scrutiny from the locals for construction faults, waste fuel management, etc.

What people seem to forget here is that nuclear isn't a panacea. Just because a country builds nuclear doesn't mean it's succeeding at reducing carbon emmission. The world's 2nd largest, and also the fastest growing, nuclear energy producer by power is china, which still depends largely on coal for its electricity. Also consider nations too volatile to have nuclear power. If you argue that net zero is "impossible" without nuclear, you're basically arguing those countries don't deserve its existence.
My 2000 Jeep had this. From my understanding, the fuel pump and filter are designed to last the same, and should be replaced at the same time.

Extrapolate to everything else and it becomes pretty clear. There's just so much more to load.

If so, let me spell it out step by step. That was the initial reply to me. Therefore...

> I was using 4K screens as just one example of the many, many dimensions of growth.

This example, is likely close to meaningless, as elaborated on previously.

Hence why I suggested to review whether '32x32 monochrome' or '512x512 in 48 bit color', etc., has any observable effect. With the help of a VGA display showing, presumably, graphics roughly corresponding to the first, another display corresponding to the second, and so on.

If you want to discuss something later on, then it should be in your interest to resolve the first claim as soon as possible in your favour.

For example, if you disagree and still think resolution makes a noticeable difference, then show that convincingly, especially as it's a positive claim, which HN readers tend to treat more critically.

It really seems a bit odd to try to skip that discussion and then claim it 'has nothing to do with VGA' which can only reduce the possible avenues to prove your credibility.

i.e. You are the one who raised the possible "to do" regarding lower resolutions. The reason why I started discussing 'VGA' at all was because of that comment.
That would be a waste, because we could reuse most of it.

The chart shows that Walmart revenue has grown 18% in 7 years, well below US GDP growth. Maybe they haven't dented revenue, but it's entirely possible they've dented revenue growth.

It also important to note that a corollary of this argument is that incumbents will still dominate their own sector - IBM still dominates mainframes. What matters to incumbents is whether or not those sectors are still relevant after disruption - mainframes less so, in-person grocery and shopping maybe more so.

2) Is this the average wage of a software developer in Argentina? Or some larger group?

3) Why is this relevant in this discussion?
