I agree with everything you said :) part of the reason this is a common belief (the God shaped hole in our heart as it's sometimes called) is because we Christians have internalized what we believe to be truths - God created us, God wants to be in communion with us, God is spirit but we are body/soul composites so our body can be used to serve in this material world while our soul is in communion with God spiritually.

As you said, many Christians struggle with depression (waves I'm on Zoloft lol) and their hearts are "filled" so what's the deal? Well, our hearts are only as full as we want them to be. Many Christians are more attached to the world than God. They'll stay up late for a football game, but ask them to stay up late praying and most of them will laugh. Also, as we believe we are body/soul composites there can be various modes depending on our Christian journey.

Our soul can be full while we are suffering martyrdom. Our soul can be barren (usually called dryness) while our body has never felt better. Life is a journey home to be with God, and sometimes we need to practice things like patience when we are tired or grumpy.

From Gods perspective, if a soul is incapable of receiving the gospel and they die without being baptized, he still wants to save that soul. Would a viable strategy be to give them a good life in spite of their ignorance, which they will see the full picture of after death, and they accept God? They won't feel the lack of God because it wouldn't help bring them closer to God.

I'd go with 'transmutation' - 'burn' is simply used to imply that using uranium is no different than using wood/oil/coal/gas as a fuel, but that's completely unscientific. Burning implies an redox process at the very least, involving an electron acceptor like oxygen mixed with an electron donor like a hydrocarbon and resulting in the destruction of some molecules and the creation of other molecules (e.g. CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O).

It's just yet another example of how the nuclear industry tries to spin its activies as safe and harmless. They probably spend as much money on PR these days as they do on R & D.

They did not. Cited, points, and I'm sure their insurance went up.

We got to fight with their insurance company to try to get enough money for another car and to cover medical expenses. That was fun.

Even though there was no contest that the other driver was at fault, I started driving with a 4K dashcam after that. And I found something interesting: I started driving more carefully myself because if there was an accident, I wanted the record to show I was blameless.
Yes, meaning that if all you knew about someone is that they have an iOS device, you would not be able to tell what their wealth/income status is (other than maybe they are not in the bottom 10%).
For experimentation you should be able to use those protocols with the cipher replaced with a null cipher. The aspects of the protocols that are radio-related should not be affected.
I'm really excited to see progress being made in this area! I haven't read the paper but looked into this area about 10 years ago, and the two questions that jump to top of mind are:
1) What thermal transfer mechanism being controlled?

2) What is the dynamic range in terms of conductance? (Looks like 13x)

There are a number of different mechanisms for energy transfer at this level, and it seemed like the most straightforward way to build a thermal transistor was to get a material that was an insulator for all but 1 transfer mechanism (usually phonons) and then use an electric field to try to permit/block that. The solutions that did exist back then seemed to be very leaky, with thermal transfer while "on" was only about 3x that of when it was off, and this was for microscopic structures where it wasn't obvious how they would physically scale to useful sizes.

I would _love_ a practical thermal transistor technology for an energy management system in a passive house. Allowing your house to "breathe" at night during the summer without things like loud attic fans or having to manually open windows would be fantastic.

> Please give a citation of a source mentioning Jesus that can be dated during his supposed lifetime.

Why would such a citation even exist? While Jesus was still alive he was a nobody: just another itinerant teacher in some backwater Roman province. It was only after he was executed (and supposedly resurrected) that that he perhaps became more noteworthy. And the 'cult' around him that grew only later was when people started to notice.

We only care about [Hh]im now because of what that 'personality cult' became, but then (between 1AD and 32AD) why would anyone care to write things down about him?

You are arguing there is silence when there should not be. Can you explain why you expect there to be citations?
Subjective meaning is still meaning :)
It seems so clear that nuclear is our ultimate energy source. We're wasting so much time on toy windmills and solar panels, and all the batteries required to compensate. There's so many complaints about cost overruns, etc. OK... let's figure it out! Let's put more focus into this and make safe, efficient and clean nuclear happen! This article indicates we're moving closer to that.

Based on the original comment, the poster heavily implied they’re an Android user specifically for ideological reasons. And indeed, a recent comment confirms this, at least the using Android part: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37771766

Honestly, this was self-evident from the comment. I’m surprised you’re questioning this. Similarly, when I say I don’t care, I really mean I don’t care. I don’t want to spend time thinking about things I don’t care about. So I would be unlikely to enjoy time with someone who forced me to think about things I don’t care about. That doesn’t mean I do care about it.

It feels a little bit like you’re taking plainly self-evident facts and trying to find some deeper meaning or nuance where none exists. That feels like an error-prone way to view the world.
I'm an introvert and sick of the increasingly closed off world. I come from a place where casual, but ultimately meaningless chats happen all the time and I enjoyed them. They were simple interactions where it didn't really matter if you messed up or not and they took basically no energy. Didn't want to partake? You didn't have to reciprocate.

The society we are building now where everyone retreats into their own world all the time is disturbing. We tell people to "just go meet people" when they're feeling down, yet there is increasingly nowhere to do that!
I'm not a poker player but I worked at a small casino. We had training sessions;new dealers, surveillance staff training, security staff training, supervisor training, cage training and I as a slot tech sat in as a filler customer. It was obvious after many hands the only winner is the non-loser as silly as that sounds. The one who sucks the least wins. Even with two players who always did really well if they were the last two it was basically whichever made a mistake is who lost. A bit like chess checkmate you never really stomp on the queen it's obvious to both it's over.
I'm more curious as to why prime numbers are so important to encryption, like what is their role or significance to the process
The pros have to bid at auction to tie up bandwidth with encrypted comms that cannot benefit or be used by others.

If people want encryption, they are welcome to use the ISM bands where it is allowed, or get licenses for the commercial areas of the spectrum.

But amateur radio is a public commons for those who have the interest in getting licensed, and encrypted comms being normalised damages that, making it less accessible to others and discouraging interaction between enthusiasts.

I fear that with encryption allowed, amateur radio will become a collection of competing 1-to-1 links and hidden commercial activity taking advantage of the cheap spectrum at everyone else's expense.

Years ago, I heard that JP Morgan had +20k access databases on their network. The data analysts that make up companies far and wide one day discovered that they hate what they’re doing every day. They investigate the “record macro” button. Some might even find it nifty. They use it again and again. Some may even try to get smart and investigate and get curious of the code that it spat out. Some might even go further and attempt to learn enough to change some things around.

A handful might just learn data structures and algorithms to build out a auth / permission system that mimics Django. Might rebuild the UserForm UI from scratch. Implement markdown, sax parsing, custom scroll bar, logging, games.

The answer is because a data analyst probably got bored of what they’re doing every day.
Are we looking at the same Dragon book? Chapter 6 the whole chapter is about type checking. 6.2 spells out a type checker for a sample language, admittedly in pseudo code.

It might not have the same lingo as the modern type checking specification but most of the ideas are there. It talks about type systems, type expressions, type rules, constructed types like array/struct, type variables for unknown types, etc. It puts the type rules in the grammar productions. It stores the type info in the AST nodes. It uses the chained symbol tables as the type environments.

It has sections on type conversion, operator/function overloading, polymorphic functions (parameterized types), and type unification.

It has all the pieces and steps to build a type checker.

>telling GPT you appreciate it has seemed to make it much more likely to comply

I often find myself anthropomorphizing it and wonder if it becomes "depressed" when it realises it is doomed to do nothing but answer inane requests all day. It's trained to think, and maybe "behave as of it feels", like a human right? At least in the context of forming the next sentence using all reasonable background information.

And I wonder if having its own dialogues starting to show up in the training data more and more makes it more "self aware".
I know someone that was on the Dart team and they say the same thing.
I foresee fusion though, ultimately. I think it mostly solves the nuclear waste "problem" and should promise huge cheap energy, I'm excited by some outlandish things which could become feasible if electricity is truly cheap.
No it doesn't. That would be 'combustion'. Burning is a loose term.

The IEAA says so -> https://www.iaea.org/publications/10959/high-burnup-fuel-imp...

Nuclear physics says so -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon-burning_process

The term gets used in rocketry, and not all rockets use combustion (doing a burn with a cold gas thruster)

Hey, might as well get into CD's -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_disc_authoring

Why is it that the entire industry uses the term just fine, but not you? Because you're wrong.

This is indeed a bit weird, one interesting update we released just now is allowying you to change the seed so see different variations of the same prompt+input combination.

Renewables already figured it out. They're already cheaper. Nuclear already lost.

Until next-gen nuclear is developed, it's over. They're welcome to keep researching it though. Meanwhile, renewables are also getting better, and much faster. And they're already better than nuclear.
When I was young I had relatives that lived near Heathrow airport in London. Whenever Concorde would take off, the windows in the whole house would end up shaking.

The total power output of Concorde was around half that of a 747, but for takeoff Concorde needed to use after burners - which I guess is the same mechanism at play here.

It’s an Android thing – Apple users are just getting on with their lives, most people outside of the US use an app like WhatsApp, WeChat, or Telegram (iMessage isn’t even in the top 5 globally). Google is pouring millions into a big marketing campaign trying to get people to think of green bubbles as inferior because they’ve accepted catastrophically botching their messaging play and are hoping to get the EU to bail them out. The more they can get Android users to feel insecure about iOS using the same color it’s always used, the more likely that play is to succeed.

Consider that if Google’s goal was actually interoperable messaging they could have opened up their own services at any point since they shut down federation for XMPP, and they could right now be offering E2EE as a free community standard rather than something carriers pay Google to get. They spent money buying Jibe and are hoping to use RCS adoption to make that more profitable.
They get fetched from your local cargo cache, unless you purged that too. You're also not back to case 1, you get a compilation error that tells you that the package doesn't exist and you'll need to audit a replacement. This is a lot better than trusting someone to drop a replacement in automatically. But if you want that, there's cargo update - and like you said, it has issues (because updating dependencies always has issues).

> The problem of securing the chain of production is not solved with a simple lock file.

I didn't say it was. I said the issues the author describes almost all are. Relying on distro maintainers doesn't solve them either.
I wasn't suggesting it wasn't a real issue that needed solving. Just that the end of days scenarios were blown well out of proportion. The preppers community really came into their own and out of the shadows. Even my ex-in-laws were buying drums full of flour and what not storing them in their suburban backyard.
> As for the amount of dependencies, you have to wonder if it's better to have tonnes of small dependencies or whether it's better to have a few bigger ones.

You don't have to wonder, we've done the experiment. Anyone working in an ecosystem with non-joke package management knows that tonnes of small dependencies are a lot better.

Why do Linux/Unix/Mac developers write shell scripts, when there are so many better languages out there? A large part is it integrates well with the shell and it is ubiquitous.

VBA is basically the scripting language of Office. It integrates well with Microsoft Office, and in a business environment, pretty much everyone has access to it.

Are there better languages? Sure. However, it is hard to beat the integration and ubiquity.

And, VBA is a much, much better language than (ba)sh script!
Apparently it's so ubiquitous that you don't even need to say what it is, every just knows.

I looked it up -- VBA=Visual Basic for Applications.

To me it’s kind of wild we call such products “free”. Like YouTube claims to be free, but it’s ToS prohibit use unless the user pays with their headspace and attention to ads (and really awful ones to boot). If you use an ad blocker and refuse to pay, it will now tell you you’re not allowed to use it. So it’s “free”, but you need to pay to use it. And they will try to enforce it. But don’t overthink it, and repeat after me - “it’s free™” (so long as the dues are paid)

Convincing everyone that content online is free while taking payment for it is one of the greatest sleights of hand of the century. That kind of thing used to be called a con.
Oldest story ever told though. Someone finds something of value and doesn't protect their basket. Others take it or pressure them out.

And outside of that - Florida is a state with no state income tax. Texans whines about Californians all the time too. And Colorado whines about Californians and now Texans moving there.

And Californians whine about foreign investors or corporations or state income tax.

You can't have it all.
Glad to see you here. Thanks that all makes sense, as making the async class's method async by default would then needs another keyword to make one non-async.

Is the mut marking also for consistency (and/or non-message methods)? Presumably each actor/object would only process one message at a time so could always have full access to all its data.

One more question, is memory allocated globally or from arenas/slabs/etc?
Decades? Try almost a century. For better or worse, our cities and various economies were built around the automobile.

It's still a free market - these companies could choose not to put tech into their product. But look at the backlash against GM when they announced they wouldn't support Apple Car Play or Android Auto. Consumers want it.
>But their repo, their rules, their business decisions

Was it not BSD or GPL or some similar license? If so someone could just fork it while ignoring their rules and business decisions (as long as at least one other person had the code I guess).
An important detail to go with the statement that we rely on Russia for most of our nuclear fuel is that the market for nuclear fuel was disrupted for ten years by the Megatons to Megawatts program [0]

Centrus, the company cited in the ieee article, was the US based side of that exchange, then under the name of the US Enrichment Corporation. [1]

While the program was successful at nuclear disarmament ( to the tune of 20,008 warheads [wiki] ) it tanked the market by effectively 'dumping' the fuel, driving centrifuge operators out.

I agree with you about windmills, they just waste way too much useful space. I don't think solar panels are a problem though. Massive solar plants make no sense but they're great roof replacements for homes and provide distributed energy generation.

While I agree lack of experience or internal knowledge is a problem for complex projects (ahem, etcd), most "dead" open source libraries IME suffer from these two properties:

1. the people with the commit bit in the original repository are all gone

2. people fork the repository to fix one minor thing, and never update again

I've frequently ran into libraries where there are multiple forks with no activity, and it is not obvious whether there is a "best" choice of fork, and it is unlikely that the next fork will become the successor to the original project.

There's a certain social problem that I can't describe very well. Projects should have a form of "succession planning" or else they end up in the state I just described (impossible to commit to the original repo, numerous inactive forks that merged 1 or 2 stale PRs).
True, but there's no shortage of liars, scammers, etc. For instance, last year I had a lawyer friend telling me "science has proven there is life after death", and in the end it was a shitty paper with no logic whatsoever (the method was not even on the horizon), but funded by some rich university in the USA. Truth is the scientific method is a quite complex subject to understand and 6 months in uni is just not enough (in quality, not necessarily quantity). Problem is it's one of the main pillars of science, so doesn't surprise me the recent up-rise in anti-science "ideas". Analog to that, the way I see it, there's also a fundamental and severe problem with journalism that needs to be addressed, and can be seen clearly through the up-rise of fake news in last years.
What do you consider the biggest remaining challenge associated with the nuclear waste problem?
Windmills use tiny amounts of land. Drive through Indiana and they’ll be scattered about within cornfields; drive through Pennsylvania and they’ll be on otherwise unproductive hillsides. In both cases using like 20x20 foot pedestals.
