New reactor designs have a serious approval burden via the NRC. Almost all of the reactor designs that are in operation are plants that were designed pre-1970.

After the Atomic Energy Commission was disbanded the Nuclear Regulatory Commission was formed. The NRC has had an ultra-conservative policy against new technologies, creating a chicken-and-egg-problem for new tech: a tech must be proven in a relevant nuclear environment before it can be approved by the NRC, but it cannot be proven without installing it in a relevant environment unless it is already in a grandfathered reactor design.

Additionally while there are a lot of interesting ideas, simulations and paper-reactors, "approved" real reactors face large capital costs (~$5bn / 1 GWe) as well as long build times (~10-20years). The real crux of this problem is that the utility cannot get guarantees that when it builds a reactor that it will be allowed to operate it. At the end of a build, there is a licensure process that must pass a community comment period. The political landscape 10-20years in a community's future can change dramatically, leaving a utility with a huge gamble that can result in brand-new nuclear-reactors, which are blessed by the NRC, to be shuttered.
> This bill would provide that a rental company is not in violation of unlawful advertising, displaying, or offering a price for a good or service for excluding from the advertised, displayed, or offered price of a rental vehicle charges that are disclosed to the consumer in compliance with the above-described provisions.

So....basically nothing changes. You're always privy to the disclosure at the time of sale anyway when you see the charges right before you fork up your credit card.

Seems like legislators just needed some bullet points for resume padding.
I've worn really good armor in SCA heavy combat. I've also been up some impossibly narrow curved staircases where I am certain I could not have made it while wearing armor -- I could barely squeeze through without armor. The top flights of stairs at Köln Cathedral are pretty tight, and the whole 55 flights of stairs is nothing to laugh at.

Now, the difference is that I'm probably bigger than your average footman or knight who might have been trying to go up those stairs. But they definitely wouldn't be passing anyone on the stairs, and they definitely would have had trouble hacking on someone who was above them on the staircase.

The one key fact that puts the idea to rest is all the staircases I've seen that spiral clockwise in one part of the building, and counter-clockwise in the other. Everything else being equal, both sets of stairs could be used to go either up or down, and you could choose which set to use. At Köln Cathedral, they tell you which ones are for up and which ones are for down, but if you're an invading attacker, you don't pay attention to the rules of the house you're invading.
My driving commute is 20 minutes. My cycling commute is 35 minutes (with significant effort). The average drive-tru time at Starbucks is 5 minutes. Add in a 5 minute detour off the optimal driving path, and another few since commuting hours are peak demand and will therefore be at the tail of the distribution. Same job, same commute, but all told, relative to a car and a PSL, cycling is net neutral on time with a difference of 600-800 calories.

Maybe that's not true for al (although a 35 minute bike ride with existing fitness gets you a long way surprisingly fast). But one can lift while watching TV. One can do squats while doing laundry. Etc.

Of course, in each case, one of those two options is far less comfortable. For commuting that's particularly true in the winter. But WRT physical fitness, the barrier is almost always "discomfort" and almost never "time".
Most online stores immediately ask for your location (or know a good estimate via IP or ad tracking) anyways. Or ask you to "search for the nearest location." So there is already a lot of data they could use.

It's just that the limitations feel like whoever was implementing it walked away from it before they were finished to work on a different project. It could be much better than it is. It's way too brittle and the UX for more advanced aggregations is downright painful.

Even though that’s a kind of strange and unworkable idea — it’s interesting to think about.

Unworkable in the sense that, for example, some elements are not physically positioned inside their container elements, and sometimes even in light dark mode you might use elements to create subtle layering etc, where you’d want the least contrast.

It wouldn’t be too difficult to write a gimmick webpage though, that implements the idea, to see what kind of fun would ensue.

I’ve got some sample code here that uses the little known but very powerful “tree Walker” to change elements 1 by 1.

And you can write javascript code that alters css variable values like this:

var root = document.documentElement;
root.style.setProperty('--main-hue', 0);

I think the particular can of worms you’re suggesting could be very strange and interesting!

If it was a loan the fee amount would never exceed the overdraft amount. But the fee is usually huge compared to the amount the bank is covering. No one should be taking a loan out at those terms.

For example, if you overdraft by $1 you could be charged $35 as a cost of this “loan”. No one should take out a loan at 3500% interest. You’d get a better rate at a payday lender.

Since this “loan” amount is not related to the cost of the service I’d call it a junk fee.
I was interested to read (WSJ so I won't link - I read on reader mode...) that Microsoft was earlier this year losing between $20 - $80 per user per month on Github Copilot, due to the expense of running the thing.

It seems like LLM-based AI (at least at the moment) is inverting the old model of software being expensive to develop but with only marginal costs to run.

I think they mean retracting a “service charge” rather than trying to get away with paying 9 units for a 10 unit item. I’m sure you could have the service charge removed but the service would have to be awful for me to attempt it.
this is sound practical advice but reflects a bad system that can't be sustained.

you kind of have to be Junior Patrick Bateman now. students scheming and fighting for UG research opportunities. this level of overachiever striving used to be reserved for people aiming for investment banking or McKinsey.

it can be done and the students who do it can be very productive and actually do good research. but it's also now filtering for a very different personality type; less "curious" and more "do anything to win". not that the latter necessarily makes a bad scientist as long as they stay honest. but a field where almost everyone is like that will feel very different.

ultimately, I guess, it is just supply and demand. it's in departments interest to only admit students who they are 100% sure will produce a lot of papers for 5-6 years no matter what the department does. and they can do this because a lot of people want to come.
I recently decided to increase my storage and share with my family and was disappointed to find that the “free” 5GB of storage disappears. For a family of 6, that’s 30GB of previously free storage that now counts against a paid quota.

Huh? I didn't say anything about Apple. The parent post didn't say say anything about Apple. The grandparent didn't say anything about Apple. The great grandparent didn't say anything about Apple. The world doesn't revolve around Apple. My criticism of the EU policy has nothing to do with the port on an iPhone.

If you're curious, my main objection to the EU is that I don't think USB-C is a good standard and I don't like the prospect of the whole industry stuck with USB-C longer than appropriate because there's no incentive to experiment and possibly come up with something dramatically better.
Jim did not sell the company to IBM. It was not Jim's to sell. Jim received an offer from IBM which he conveyed to the board, which put it in front of shareholders, and shareholders accepted the offer. To the tune of 99.5% of shareholders who voted (about 80% of shares cast votes...). [1]

Some people were pissed about switching to Gmail. They were not anything close to a majority of users.

It's fine that you don't share a positive opinion of Jim's tenure as CEO, but the commentary that shows ignorance of how public companies work, petty gripes about switching to Gmail (as if that was Jim's personal project) and grudge-holding about diversity doesn't paint you as someone to take seriously.

If photons had mass they would attract each other as well.

Gravitational lensing is pretty strong proof that photons follow the curvature of space affected by a gravitional field. If photons had mass themselves they would not follow straight lines in free space but they'd clump together over astronomical distances and long periods of travel. Though there is a way to get them to act in unison which gives some pretty odd effects:

I wasn't around for it, but didn't C grow fast during the 70s and 80s?

And didn't Java and JavaScript also spread pretty fast? Of course, Java was explicitly promoted and advertised by Sun, and JavaScript played off of Java's popularity and later became a web standard.
Repl.it has really gone off the deep end. Ages ago, it was a nice quick site to quickly get in, test out some code, and get out. Now when I visit, it's just a big marketing splash page and a bunch of links. I don't even know how to open a basic Python REPL.

> to be going through the language centers of our brain.

> "like an LLM" is so broad as to be meaningless.

I don't think this is a fair interpretation, in the context of this comment chain. To me, a charitable interpretation is that "like an LLM" means no feedback loop, no refinement, just input to output, like an LLM.

I point my brain at problems, using my conscious intent, and I see answers. I don't really consider myself consciously involved in those answers, and I do have to check them, and sometimes iterate, with that iteration almost always involving some solidification of the answers/concepts by externalizing them in writing, drawing, etc. Point at solidification, get response, repeat. The "me" in my head is the one talking, pointing, receiving, checking, and mixing. The "here's your answer" intuition that I experience is the "like an LLM thing". My understanding of my own thought process follows the historic interpretation: the pre-frontal cortex is a new attachment, and probably the one that is the active participant, and planner, that is "me". The fast, but unrefined, input->output system being the rest of it, and is probably closer to the experience of a monkeys day to day activities.
> This is not true if a, b and c are unsigned

True, but this is not valid if they are signed, either. Take

a = INT_MIN
b = 1
c = 2

Then

a < b + c

is true. But

a - b < c

invokes undefined behavior.

Edit: missed

> Say that a, b and c are small integers (we don't worry about addition overflow)

Ah, well that makes this example vacuously true, however I'm not sure what the utility in that restriction is. We've only moved the goalposts from "bend[ing] the rules of arithmetic around zero" to bending the rules of arithmetic outside of "small integers".
Oooh a one liner fallacy. You are le bad ass intellectual.
It really should be the norm. The business collects the sales tax on behalf of the state and then submits the tax on the basis of their sales. There is no good reason they can’t price items appropriately and submit the same tax directly.
Thats a big improvement because you can back out before investing all your time configuring your cart if you know fees are higher than worth it to you. Or comparison shop easier.

There's no such thing as "one correct answer" to most tasks in any language. In mathematics, maybe. If you're asking it to recall a specific quote verbatim, yeah. But other than that there are many (infinite?) different ways you can paraphrase differently to get the same point across (at least in English).

I would get to the point where you can create simple games in Godot 4.0 first before looking at the GDQuest 3.0 courses. At beginner level, the 3 vs. 4 differences will be too confusing. But once you're at the stage where you're looking for intermediate courses, you can try and tackle the GDQuest 3.0 courses in 4.0 if you're brave. Some API changes are superficial enough, others less so - the forum comments have been very helpful to me. The GDQuest team are working on 4.0 material right now, although I think these will be new courses rather than makeovers for the existing ones.

EDIT: I sound like I'm taking sales commission here, but one more recommendation: the Bradfield book is available as a Kindle ebook, but Kindle's code formatting can be pretty tortuous, and incredibly you can't even copy-paste from the Kindle app without some hack or other. But Packt offer the full book as nicely formatted HTML.
But just like Google has to make sure you keep searching on google.com and keep watching youtube, Unity has to make sure people keep playing Unity games, which requires people to make Unity games. You can't sell ads when you don't have anywhere to put them.
Look, the issue is that there is no insurance amount. When asked to show it publicly, they used a random function.

Ofc many websites do that. I did one in my previous company, it's a common social gimmick. But, once a journalist asked us how it was calculated, we removed it... we knew it was wrong from the CEO to the code monkey.

The rule I believe is: don't lie to your customers, yes even if that can extract more money from them.
Boards don't micromanage to that level (or more, they shouldn't)

There might have been an explicit mandate that Unity's pricing structure should be changed, but more likely it was just an explicit or implicit mandate that the Unity division should produce more revenue (or profit).

The actual details of how to achieve that mandate would be left up to Riccitiello and his management team.

My interoperation is that while the board probably agrees with the need to change Unity's pricing structure, Riccitiello is being ousted for the poor implementation with a proposal that generated so much backlash and then some pretty poor handling of that backlash.
You can generate binder wrappers from aidl, that would work. This is fairly common when doing platform work (for those like me who work on the operating system rather than on apps).

However, this would be a terrible idea because usually the android api is stable at the Java wrappers (I.e. ActivityManager), not at the aidl level, which would make this very fragile for app development across a multitude of devices and platform versions.
I am just immensely impressed by this story. A+ hardware and software investigation work.
I mean the concept existed on pen and paper or equivalent likely since we started tabulating numbers/money and doing math.

I was curious if by stealing you meant the interface to do it, the idea of putting it in a computer, the test data, or something else.
I believe there are more forms of authoritatianism than facsism. Being pedantic here. From Merriam-Webster:

Originally it also included a certain kind of capitalism, and of course any "people's republic of X" would not be capitalist but might well do this kind of thing.

>It's a lemon market.

You mean it's a market with information asymmetry? How so? Customers know both that the sales taxes exist and their magnitude. If you think it's a great idea you can put big sign saying on your shop/in your ad "inc. tax" instead of "plus tax", which is on most advertisements already. Surely customers could read it.
I think they’re implying that the banks shouldn’t reorder the charges and should pick up the phone when we call them to opt out of overdraft altogether.
I don’t quite have the courage to physically short pins, nor the patience to slowly overclock my RAM, waiting multiple minutes for DDR5 link training each time. So instead, I’m content with knowing that the memory controller is reporting that ECC is enabled.

How about hitting the RAM with a warm stream of air from a hair dryer? I've seen that technique used in the past to generate errors.
During the initial kerfuffle, a Unity employee did quote one of their lawyers saying the following[1]:

> Our terms of service provide that Unity may add or change fees at any time. We are providing more than three months advance notice of the Unity Runtime Fee before it goes into effect. Consent is not required for additional fees to take effect, and the only version of our terms is the most current version; you simply cannot choose to comply with a prior version. Further, our terms are governed by California law, notwithstanding the country of the customer.

The communication around this rollout was absolute rubbish. Even employees were trying to get clarity, and they were forced to figure it out and real time.

They get killed/droned. Have you seen Escape from NY/LA? This would be like the modern australia except people can volunteer to go there and we have the tech and resources to enforce a perimeter and monitor the goings in the place.

Anarchism really isn't the goal. It is to have the equivalent of the old west where while it is brutal and you don't enjoy rights and benefits of civilization, you also get to live a life, however short, that is truly yours. Anyone cal flee global persecution and go there. Snowden could have for example. The place itself is considered the equivalent of dying to society once you enter it and you can never come out of it. Whether technology, disease, ideology or something else, this would be the redundancy, a controlled environment that is immune to the changes of the outside global world. A place for those who have no place anywhere else. A place criminals can volunteer to go to for certain crimes (especially victimless ones) instead of spend their lives in a cage. Where deserters from war and those who abandon their lives can go to, at the risk of their safety and with no guarantees of wellbeing other than that which they could fight for. It would be more mad max than somalia.

This is why I never use google products for anything mission critical. They cancel all sorts of projects, even when it's against their business interests (arguably).

Your definition is legal, sure, but their definition is realistic. The overwhelming vast majority of copyright "infringement" is ignored, because who cares if a kid draws Pikachu? That's why copyright law is very vague and relies on context-specific judgements of severity of infringement on multiple categories.

If customers are afraid of the fees, they're more likely to keep some minimum balance in their account. Checking accounts don't generally provide interest (or at best, token interest). Multiplied by millions of customers, that $200 sitting in checking rather than savings, CDs, or other instruments is a nice chunk of change for the bank to loan out.

I'd want to see some numbers here. But the fees might be directly predatory or they might just be high enough to offset the cost of actually overdrafting to the actual predatory behavior of trying to force people to bank more of their money with lower interest rates.
