It does no such thing. Why would you lie about that when anyone can just go and read it?

> Using real U.S. data, we modeled the incentives affecting consumers’ decisions whether to replace under various scenarios

They model replacement, and assume that the replaced equipment is going into a landfill, which is exactly the OP's point that it won't. It's entirely speculative, and based on assumptions OP says aren't true. Why would you post that?
So these people who are coordinating and transferring CSAM are presumably bringing others into the fold to more effectively distribute things. Otherwise digital technology would not make distribution and coordination easier. So law enforcement just needs to infiltrate these groups exactly the same way that they did in the past. The only difference is they don't even need to meet these creeps face to face until they arrest them. They can do it safely behind a screen and they can also scale their own efforts far more effectively.
> The real challenge is that any broad nuclear power push would result in reactors coming online in 8-10 years. That's 8-10 years of solar/wind benefiting from economies of scale, cheaper grid storage, perovskites, better wind designs, better engineering of offshore wind, etc. It's my very rough guess that solar/wind will drop by 50% in "real dollar" cost in the next 10 years, with only marginal increased cost for grid storage using sodium-ion or sodium-sulfur or pumped hydro or any manner of storage.

This is not really a problem because there is little chance of replacing 100% of fossil fuel generating capacity on that timeframe. If some alternatives become cheaper and then it turns out to be 35% nuclear, 55% renewable and 15% fossil fuels instead of 35% nuclear, 35% renewable and 30% fossil fuels, either one of those is better than having less nuclear and more fossil fuels.

> It sends the message that all the pro-nuclear forces just roll their eyes at compliance and safety as this annoyance.

But this is why the propaganda has been effective. Because the assumption is that the compliance and safety rules are in good faith, when they're not.

It's not that safety doesn't matter, it's that nuclear reactors are safe and still would be if the safety regulations were reasonable instead of intentionally burdensome, which is what needs to happen.

> The message should be instead "we have learned from X and Y, let me explain to you why reactor design Z makes this and a vast array of other scenarios much safer".

Focusing on safer designs is like investing in platform shoes because someone you are three feet taller than keeps accusing you of being too short. They are not accusing you because you are actually too short.

And when they've had a rule instituted saying that anyone from your school has to fly to Alaska to have their height measured before each game or you can't play basketball, finding a way to make yourself taller doesn't get you back to the mainland before you miss the game.

> But really I also see the modern day pro-nuclear crowd as "polluted" by the old guard that just wants the same old crappy solid fuel rod huge dome PWRs limped along (which I actually support) and to keep all the old guard manufacturers and fuel rod reprocessors as the main providers of nuclear reactors. This IMO is very bad, because those industries, which will not survive without subsidies, will hinder and undermine any newer reactors politically.

They should only do so if the new nuclear reactors came at the expense of the existing ones, but why would they do that? The whole idea is for them to come at the expense of fossil fuels.

Unsurprisingly it seems the markets are heavily split by region/country. I assume your comment is about the US market, and I'm kinda glad cheapish bikes are getting the spotlight and more love overall, as it's a neat gateway into biking.

In regions where biking has been a commodity for much longer (like Vietnam/Japan/Korea etc. in the SEA area), if the whole drive train is not electrified the front hub will be used for powered lighting and they won't bother with a disk brake. Which makes sense as they're not expecting people to go anything fast, efficiency is already down with the dynamo hub, and those will easily weight 20+ kh anyway, and they wont to get the price down wherever they can. Same way forks are super cheap, brakes themselves are lower grade (rear brake will often be a ribbon brake) etc.

On the other hand those country also have a huge chunk of electrified bicycles that will have complex drivetrain, high quality parts and of course disk brakes and they'll be services by bigger shops and certified people, and not your random small one-man shop at the corner of the residential street.

Why did you pick the number 11? I don’t disagree but I could see it being a lot more. Just wondering if that’s some sort of agreed upon number or something.
Interesting that the chickens have come home to roost long and loud enough for the government itself to assist with damage control. The political instability of the United States causes real anxiety in other countries. While both the major political parties are significantly ignorant of the impact of the United States upon other countries, some people are clearly more ignorant than others. A very timely and tragi-comical guide from the State Department indeed.
This is the part that's really infuriating to me that I've seen in several comments - this implication that the onus is on programmers or people who work in technology to somehow figure out a way to do this impossible thing, as if nobody has tried. And then they have the gall to say something like "I want both privacy and for us not to tolerate CSAM." without proposing any kind of theoretical solution.

If you can't even propose a hypothetical science fiction-esque way of achieving this, much less one that might actually be implementable now or in the near future (like, 5-10 years), you shouldn't get to have that opinion.
Thinking back, I remember my dad talking about the asteroid killing the dinosaurs. However, my dad had not been in school for a long time by 1980. He didn't have a subscription to any science type magazines, and clearly no internet. So I'm now curious how he kept up. My dad wasn't one to read the paper at home, and he didn't have an office job affording him time to read at work. Obviously people talk at work, but it now has me thinking.

I'm guessing the killer asteroid was a theory for some time, and this 1980 paper was just the thing like you said.

I never understood restricting screen time, can you explain the reasoning for me?

My parents did this when I was growing up but it only handicapped me because I was interested in coding and didn’t have enough time to learn to go to the competitions I wanted. And I learned that coding was bad because my parents kept a strict time limit on it while other things were encouraged.

Maybe it’s difficult for me to see the benefits of a time limit when I think it has done more harm for me than good. It would make more sense to limit harmful apps and websites but not time from my perspective. But everyone is taking about time-restricting.

> Americans love to own things. They value material wealth. The primary symbols of the American Dream are a home and a car, followed by electronics, clothing, sneakers, and other items. Downtown areas and shopping centers are filled with people browsing and walking away with their purchases. This consumption fuels the American economy, and the wide range of consumables, from clothing to toys and gourmet coffee to home décor, offers infinite variety.
Consuming at this volume, however, has a profound impact on the environment and can be perceived as greedy and careless in other cultures.
Ask HN: Is there a low cost way to learn real K8s, after exhausting minikube?
Ive messed around with Minikube, but now I want to implement the real deal. I want to implement a docker registry, blue green deployents, monitoring, request tracing, log aggregation, etc, but all for my own learning.

When I looked at pricing out Azure/AWS, it was like $200 a month for a 4 node cluster.

So HN, if you had to learn K8s on your own, what would you do after minikube?

Also, am I just being dumb? Can I just use minikube to learn all this? At some point I feel like having real nodes with real networks and control planes is better learning.

One of the things I really appreciated about this movie, which felt different from blockbuster superhero movies, was how they handled visual spectacle. There was a great deal of it, but it never felt chaotic or cacophonous. For example the scene where the druid has to escape the castle while being pelted with arrows. It felt very easy to follow everything happening on screen, which made the action feel tasteful, fluid, and more like art than noise. I certainly wasn't expecting that.
It's opinions like this that prompt me to tell others I'm Canadian when I'm a foreigner in their country. I'm not here to represent the U.S. government or enter debates about the shittiness of our culture, and in fact I very much enjoy leaving those subjects at home when I am abroad.

Find and work through some old OpenGL tutorials from the fixed-function era. It's long obsolete, but there's a nice immediate connection between your matrix algebra and what you see on the screen. Putting chunky triangles on the screen is fun!

Edit: I should mention that this is a good way to learn to appreciate what modern shaders are doing. You could jump into those as well, but I think it's a little harder to get your first triangle on the screen. All this assumes you're comfortable writing C, of course.

> The titles include “Wild Mushroom Cookbook: form [sic] forest to gourmet plate, a complete guide to wild mushroom cookery”

Does not sound like what an AI would write. AIs don't make obvious spelling mistakes like that. It is actually difficult for them to have bad spelling. Advanced LLMs like ChatGPT have very good writing, better than most humans, it is only when you look at the big picture that you notice something is wrong.

Here is an output from ChatGPT for illustration:

"As we delve deeper into the forest, remember that mushroom foraging is both art and science. Identifying hidden treasures like chanterelles or morels showcases your expertise. But with this thrill comes responsibility—ethics and sustainability are key. Leave no trace, as each mushroom affects the forest's balance. We also explore culinary creativity, from sautéed porcini to wild mushroom risotto. Let's continue, respecting nature's gifts and the wilderness."

To me, technically, that's good writing, and respecting wilderness is obviously the right thing to do. There is nothing "bad" about this. It is just that a book filled with pages and pages of such prose is utterly useless.

I don't know enough about the state department to be sure, but this just feels like politics to me, furtherance of a narrative that certain elements want to push about what they think is wrong with the US under the pretence of being "asked questions". It feels like just more partisan BS.

And regardless of what country you're from, only an asshole starts asking you pointed questions like that, this isn't a realistic scenario obviously. Imagine asking a random chinese tourist harsh questions about their country's behavior, they would hopefully and rightly tell you to fuck off.

> Interesting that the chickens have come home to roost long and loud enough for the government itself to assist with damage control.

The government has been doing this kind of image management targeting foreign audiences (and, through them, the policy stances of foreign governments) as part of public diplomacy for generations; the new thing isn’t realizing it is necessary and “trying to help”, its reframing what it has been doing for generations and providing resources to train and encourage individual Americans to act as agents of the government’s public diplomacy efforts.

I can all but guarantee that's not true. No, statistically you're not going to get "shot in the supermarket", but violent crime in the US is, in fact, higher than western Europe basically everywhere, in essentially every community, including (in fact especially) in the ethnically uniform exurbs.

There seem to be no detailled numbers of Windows installations by region available, only percentages. The current percentages for the USA according to this Website: https://gs.statcounter.com/windows-version-market-share/desk... are:

Win10 69.46%
Win11 26.74%
Win7 2.42%
Win8.1 0.72%
Win8 0.35%
WinXP 0.18%

This means 3.67% run an unsupported Windows OS.

If we estimate one Windows computer per person in the USA on average (~ 331.9 mil.), this means that more than 12 mil. computers run an unsupported Windows OS. (Or use your own estimate.)

Some parts of PAIP might be outdated, but it still has really current material on e.g. embedding Prolog in Lisp or building a term-rewriting system. That's relevant for pursuing current neuro-symbolic research, e.g. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2006.08381.pdf.

> The moment they meet they are a black hole. How fast is that black hole moving afterward in order to concerve both momentum and energy? You'll find the answer is: The speed of light.

As was already mentioned in another comment, adding two non-collinear null vectors won't give you a null vector but a timelike vector. Adding to the latter a third null vector will just give you another timelike vector, so not quite the speed of light.

Anyhow, even if the black hole did move at/close to the speed of light:

The speed of light limit holds only locally where you're roughly Minkowskian and there is no curvature. However, gravitational disturbances (= curvature disturbances) are not bound by the speed of light. They can indeed propagate at the speed of light. Consider, e.g., gravitational waves or comic expansion.

Of course, the difference from a physical POV is that a black hole has a nonzero mass whereas it's hard to define one for gravitational waves. So I get that a black hole moving at the speed of light would be concerning. But, again, the actual velocity would not quite be c, so all is good.
