Sure! https://www.replanet.ngo/post/18-year-old-school-striker-lau... there you go, your claim that "no climate alarmists" advocate nuclear is disproven.

> It was governments who allowed them to do those things in the first place. The fact that governments eventually stepped in to stop them doesn't mean governments solve problems. It means governments create problems--and then sometimes manage to sort of mitigate them.

bro what. That's some incredible gymnastics. "Government regulation doesn't solve problems. Examples of problems that government regulation solved are actually examples of the failure of government's prior regulatory policy of 'no regulation,' another damning indictment of regulatory policy!" Remarkable.

I think both sides, the secular humanists and the religious are prone to make stuff up, as it suits their needs.

I was watching the Matt Dillahunty Vs Andrew debate. And Andrew gives a very rational counter to the current secular world view.

.NET has had first-class parallelism and async/await since around .NET Framework 4.0 release which was...13 years ago huh. There have been many improvements in the underlying runtime since then though.

A garden variety of keywords is async/await, TPL (tasks/futures and structured concurrency) and PLINQ (Rust's Rayon).

> (btw, I still don't get why it's called .NET, and I don't know if assemblies are native code or bytecode wrapped in the same binary format as .exe, where is the ".NET for hardcore open source Linux nerds" blog post?)

.NET can now do either one - you can ship PE bytecode and require the dotnet runtime, which works in practice similar to e.g. Python or Ruby (you run `dotnet ./myapp.dll`), or you can precompile it into a single platform-specific binary that is just a native code app, similar to Go's static binaries.
The difference is that all of them have theories and principles backing them, and we understand why they work.

LLMs (and "AI" in general) are just bashing data together until you get something that looks correct (as long as you squint hard enough). Even putting them in the same category is incredibly insulting.

.NET/C# + Visual Studio [Code] + Azure DevOps + Azure Cloud = Everything is guaranteed to work for what a software company needs, with full documentation, examples, and a history of variants to explore.

You simply don't have to spend too much time researching what to do, just follow the docs and get started writing code and delivering features.

If you stray from the full integration of MS products, you start to lose some of the value proposition.

I think it was related to tooling. Something about hot reloading. Can't remember the details.
Oh, I see. I was hoping for something new. I keep on hoping some sort of BEAM-like (from Erlang) process gets added to .NET.

It's all open source and free, on Github. I've used .NET for about 10 years now, and the only money it has cost me is a few third party libraries that I couldn't find good open source competitors for.
I've been following these global ML weather models. The fact they make good forecasts at all was very impressive. What is blowing my mind is how fast they run. It takes hours on giant super computers for numerical weather prediction models to forecast the entire globe. These ML models are taking minutes or seconds. This is potentially huge for operational forecasting.

Weather forecasting has been moving focus towards ensembles to account for uncertainty in forecasts. I see a future of large ensembles of ML models being ran hourly incorporating the latest measurements
I could never recommend this. I own a C1 and it's completely ruined by terrible software. On MacOS (various versions, on M1 and now M3), it stops randomly, needs regular reconnecting. I'm on an old version of the app because the new version doesn't even work at all (hard freeze after an hour).

Countless examples from forums and elsewhere of the same issues.

> The risk when it is too easy is that you suddenly pull half of the Internet into your project. In C++, the cost of having a dependency makes me choose carefully if I want a dependency or not, and if I do, if I want this particular dependency (Who develops it? Is it maintained? If it stops being maintained, can I easily move to an alternative, or could I take over maintenance? ...).

There is no such risk, as you're not playing a roulette. No one is pulling a gun to your head and forcing you to pull in hundreds of dependencies.

You can do exactly the same in Rust as you do in C++ and be conservative in what you use for dependencies. This is what I do, and it works great.

Now, that said, I agree that for the ecosystem as a whole this is a problem and people do tend to be too trigger happy when pulling in dependencies.

The Punkt MC02 A world first smarter phone, puts you in control
And now try to get either to work mobile, or in a browser, or at least try to share frontend code between them. That's where electron shines, and all the "classic" frameworks really don't. QtQuick and JavaFX kiiiind of work for at least some platforms, but it's fairly rough all considered, even compared to the inelegant brute force solution of electron.

I'd put my money on the competing "electron, but smarter" solutions that keep bubbling up, rather than any language-centric framework.

I already go everywhere with a phone in my pocket, it has a couple of noise-canceling mics and (only) four cameras. Why the additional device where an app would suffice?
I live in an area which regularly has a climate differently then forecasted: often less rain and more sunny. Would be great if I can connect my local weather station (and/or its history) to some model and have more accurate forecasts.

They control those, though. There's no need to preemptively strike against something you can turn off at will.
While the sentiment in this comment is generally correct, I don't think this extends to 360p (or even 480p). Most people will generally tolerate much lower quality than the current state of the art at any given time, but there's still a kind of "overton window" of acceptability where the floor of what's acceptable raises with time too.

I'd be fairly sure 360p is well below it today.

> If people can maintain underwater nuclear-powered coffins armed with nukes for 50 years, why can't they maintain a (then) functional space rocket?

Can? Sure you can. Absolutely.

Did they? No. There was no mandate, no requirement, no project, no budget.

Put that Ohio submarine into a dry dock, send everyone home. Tell them to find something new to do because the project has ended. Do you think you will be able to re-launch submarine in a year later if you changed your mind? How about ten years later? How about 51 years later? I wouldn't hold my breath.

The best way to maintain a capability is by regularly exercising it. The Ohio did that every year constantly, the Apollo program did not.
I'm sorry, but as an AI, I can't say or do anything useful or remotely probable to make pearl clutchers and prudes upset.
I haven't touched .NET in well over a decade. Last time I tried, I felt like a chimpanzee strapped into the cockpit of an F-15. Everything was "deploy!" and "endpoint for automatic upgrades" and "ENTERPRISE" and "web service."

Does .NET have any "write a small program that is only a CLI?" options? Or GUI instead of web interface? Something modest.
Agreed. The conservative persecution complex is a real thing you see all the time. The media is biased! The justice system is biased! The education system is biased! Big pharma, the UN, social media, big tech, all biased against conservative ideas.

Convincing people that these biases are real allows conservatives to prop up their own purposely-biased alternatives. Fox News and OAN to counter the liberal media. Private Christian schools, home schooling, and for-profit schools to counter the liberal education system. Truth Social and Elon Muskification of Twitter to counter liberal big tech.

Lead pipes develop a mineral lining that prevents lead from getting in the water. It's when that lining cracks, dissolves, or breaks that it can lead to lead in the water.

So while 10% have lead pipes, it does not mean 10% have lead in their water. It means 10% face a small risk of potentially getting lead in their water. So it is still worth addressing.
There are a lot of nonprofit executives in the Washington DC area. Once you see their houses and cars you realize that "nonprofit" often only means that the profit doesn't go to shareholders but to leadership of the nonprofit. they are still greedy bastards.

They received significantly more trips paid by others than Thomas. That is what I meant by worse.

Also, as far as I can tell it looks like Thomas may have disclosed some of his trips. I'm not clear on that though. It is not clear how many trips the other justices took and didn't disclose.

No, it isn't necessarily. 99.6% to 99.9999996% would be a "one million X" reduction in absorbed solar energy, but it would be of no consequence whatsoever because it would be well below the noise floor of any useful effect (see other people's comments about dust, etc.). The multiplicative factor of the reduction itself is not the relevant thing here. The real effect on a building would have to be measured.
Creating a deepfake marketplace trading in celebrity and private-person identities is ... quite the choice to make, legally (and ethically) speaking.
There's an old solar heating method that does something similar. Build a large glass box with a wooden frame, and in the middle of that box place a bunch of bricks that have been painted black.

Place an air vent at the bottom and a tube out of the top, and route that tube into your house, and cover the inlet with a heavy sheet of plastic.

Place the entire contraption in the sunniest spot on your property. When the sunlight hits the bricks they will heat up, and the convection will cause an updraft.

Once the updraft pressure is high enough to lift the plastic, it will spray hot air into your home, and when it is too cold the plastic will stop a backdraft from drawing air out of your home.

Additionally, the bricks serve as thermal mass so the heat will continue for several hours after sundown.

You can improve the performance by replacing the open air inlet with a tube that goes to a colder place in your home so that the convection circulates the air in your house.
Part of the reason we don't colonize Antarctica is that it isn't romanticized to the same degree as the colonization of Mars.
But CS is not engineering, CS is a branch of mathematics. I studied Finance at university and I've seen people complaining how it doesn't teach you how to invest in stocks and do M&A. Later, talking to professionals about what they do in their jobs I realized that what I'm being tough is adjastent, but they are not preparing you for a job. It's not like medicine where you get placements and they literally train doctors. Same with Computer Science, it's not software engineering and while the two are obviously adjacent. Damn I'm 6 years into my software engineering career as a self-taught guy, and I've contributed, implemented, and released projects that work well in the real world for non-trivial companies, but I am only now learning about algorithms and CS theory as a side project.

I think bootcamps try to fill that field but most of the ones I've seen are quite trivial, getting you through the basics. If you're asked to implement 10 greenfield CRUD APIs and then go to a job and have to maintain some huge monolithic repo it's going to be hard.

I think an educational approach where the curriculum involves some sort of "For this task, you have to change this thing in this codebase and deploy it without crashing the thing", "refactor this code base", giving people some sort of project and then switching it up in the middle would be valuable because it's mostly what software engineers do day to day: write tests, fix bugs, implement features in existing projects.

>yterdy: Blender went 7+ years without substantial improvements to its modeling and rendering tools and interface. It was a zombie, with a lot of resources wasted on the now-defunct game engine. The pivot away from what it had been is what made Blender what it is today.

>crote: Just because they shoveled a lot of money into it, doesn't mean they actually created a great product.

I'm citing these 2 comments because it's another example of mentioning observations that can be true -- but are still not a good explanation of _why_ Blender's level of polish is different from other open-source projects.

You guys are emphasizing the artifacts of the software as the proof of Blender's unique situation. Instead of the artifacts, I'm emphasizing the _community_ and _why_ they're invested in Blender to motivate the work on the subsequent artifacts (e.g. revamped UI) that you're referring to. The explanation of the community momentum starts from the business investment. In this framing, it doesn't matter that Blender v2003 wasn't great software. What matters is that v2003 (with whatever flaws) -- attracted enough community -- to keep working on it (and eventually "pivoting") for 20 years.

I go back to this you claimed as the key reason :

>yterdy: , but because its designers and developers stowed their egos and worked diligently on creating a solid piece of software

That would be a more convincing argument if the developers used the 2002 crowdsource money to build a clean-room rewrite from scratch instead of buying the existing codebase to get the millions in sunk development work at a steep discount. E.g., if what truly matters is the humble developer egos rather than the value of the exiting codebase, then there was no need to buy the old codebase. Just advertise the 2002 crowdsource money as paying for humble diligent developers to build a new 3D modeler from scratch. But that's not what happened. Both the crowdfunders and the original developers wanted that old codebase that was already paid for by business investments as a starting point. Even though the later v2.5 was a big rewrite, that doesn't change how the community thought of the v2002 software. It already has the interest level and evangelism to attract future work leading to the 2.5 rewrite.

If Blender was "zombie" software, _why_ were people working on "bad software" to make it better? Work backwards from that. Consider the motivations and interests. Saying "Blender v2003 wasn't great" doesn't really explain things.
Yeah, except that I obscure the service names in these email addresses, so they definitely aren't dictionary words.

He starts off with saying that "there is a line of magma that is 15km long and 9 miles in length."

Do you know why he would mix metrics like that?

Edit: he's talking about a rectangle and his wording, to me, implied that he was using X/Y coordinates to talk about how big the rectangle is. Except that it sounded like he was mixing metrics. Other commenters suggest that he's just trying to help us dumb Americans. That could make sense too, but wasn't obvious in his wording to me. 15km ~= 9 miles, I should have done that math. =)

“The Doomsday Book” by Connie Willis kind of has that feeling for a while. I couldn’t really get into it, though; it’s undeniably a well-written book, just not the kind of book I wanted to read.
My skepticism comes from a different direction. Assume there's something that can be done at lowest cost on Mars — is it cheaper to send humans to do it (with all the necessary life support, radiation protection, and the inevitable black swans because we've never done anything like this before), or to figure out how to fully automate it and send robots?

If it takes 10,000 people to make $thing, then even at Musk's target price of $100k/person, the cost to develop and ship the automation[0] only has to come in less than a billion dollars to win.

[0] I guess the TCO would be more complex to determine, as the human side includes not just paying the humans (and presumably shipping good from Earth), but also figuring out how to do low-gravity and zero-gravity healthcare and surgery (on this scale there will be emergencies requiring surgery during transit), and planning for the colonists' desire to start families and retire.
You know since this assignment is basically a boss asking for a single report once about "loyal customers" complexity doesn't matter. let's say worst case scenario it takes 30min to run. who cares about complexity the business value is in the answers from the data.

If you're consistently getting reliable answers and finally decide to build a system for these types of reports, clearly this guy's real world experience at Amazon's Clickstream product is going to be far more valuable than what ever anyone who is brand new to the problem can come up with, even if they choose the "correct" algorithm from the start.

Because I bet you that for most real world products that create more than a single fixed format report you actually want your data setup in a completely different way than what you initially thought. You'll probably learn for example that you want to aggregrate data per week instead of per day. or perhaps you want to link this data to an internal users database, or perhaps your boss wants a notification when new data is added. Or perhaps you'll learn that loading it into a single 1GB SQLite DB solves your problem without even needing to think about any algos.

i would say if you have a gas HVAC there is little point in replacing unless you also have a lot of solar on the roof and sending a lot back to the grid.

If I was building a new home today and in an area that might get down to 10-15F as a low i'd 100% do heat pumps. The nice part about heat pumps for me is that they might get to temp and run at 10% all day long and keep the heat right at 71. Where a gas will turn on at 69 and heat till 73 and continue that cold/hot cycle

being cheaper also depends on current utility rates also
