Sigh. No, the US hasn't been out of the "nuclear fuel game". There are commercial separation plants, including URENCO in Nevada. That fuels existing reactors and new
conventional designs such as the AP-1000.
This press release is about "high-assay, low-enriched uranium", which isn't used by many reactors yet.

If any. NuScale was going to use this stuff. But that project was cancelled a few weeks ago. Costs too much. There are advanced reactors being talked about. Does anyone know of any that actually need this fuel right now? Maybe outside the US there are some.

(NRC: "Natural uranium is made of about 0.7 % U-235 and traditional reactor fuel is enriched to between 3% and 5% U-235." High-assay, low-enriched uranium is, per the NRC, 5% - 20% u-235. Weapons grade is around 90%.)
Interesting; your message hints at a sharp gap between using language stochastically (eg being able to repeat what you've heard) vs using language to express deeper knowledge/understanding.

A common argument is that LLM by their nature only model the former, not the latter.
Nice find. That indeed sounds terrible for anyone executing external code in what they believe to be sandboxes. Good thing it can be patched (and AFAICT, it seems to be a good fix, rather than a performance-affecting workaround.)
Not just government agencies either.

Also, no one bothered to systematically eliminate the Roman books.

This is different from, say, the Spanish systematically looking for and destroying Aztec and Mayan codices; and the Aztecs before them had systematically looked for and destroyed Mayan works.
Nope.

This affects all thermal plants, it has nothing to do with nuclear.

And as the parent pointed out, it only affects plants where you cheap out and skip building the otherwise required cooling towers.

So it’s trivially solvable: build cooling towers.

There is a lot to be said for big, strong containment vessels. Fukishima's was too small and overpressure broke it open. Chernobyl didn't have one. Three Mile Island had a good one.

Many of the "small modular reactor" schemes say they don't need a big, strong, expensive containment vessel because, reasons. You can read those arguments for NuScale in NRC documents. The prototype was going to be built at the Idaho National Laboratory, formerly the National Reactor Testing Station, which is in outer nowhere, just in case.

Also hints at a new Haiku release with focus on system stability and usability improvements.
> That's a nice way of saying that nuclear power is much too expensive to not run plants at maximum capacity all the time.

Nope. It means that the variable costs are low. The fuel costs for a nuclear plant are so low that it’s essentially free.

Which is also the primary reason we throw away 95% of the fuel unused: given the low cost of fuel, recycling just isn’t viable. And again, not because recycling is so expensive, but because new fuel is so cheap.

I feel that using Rust for low level stuff, all the mental overhead is worth it compared to using C: dance with the borrow checker, or get bitten by subtle bugs -- you choose :)

Using Rust for non-pref-critical web apps is a nice exercise, and yields a super fast and efficient app. But in that case the mental overhead is not worth it compared to a language and developer experience like Kotlin.
I agree, but we also need a storage system that can move around, and the aggregate scale of that is inherently more than enough for grid storage. This is why I'm not going to rule out hydrogen despite it having not worked out even back during the 1973 OPEC fuel crisis when alternatives were desperately needed and nuclear power (which is useful for among other things electrolysis) was The Future.

(Also, on paper one doesn't need any grid storage, if only we could get governments to cope rates on a planetary grid. Texas doing it's own thing and Japan having two frequency zones shows how hard this would be in practice, but in principle it can work just fine).
I understand why people like bug zappers. The are no alternatives that provide instant visual and audio feedback that they're working. Poison repellents smell bad and aren't good for humans or animals, ultrasonic devices are basically scams, and traps are hit/miss and need maintaining/cleaning/replacement. Zappers have a ton of problems too (like aerosol sprays of fly guts) and I wouldn't recommend them, but I get why they are popular with the masses.

What we need are affordable laser zappers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosquito_laser) with an option for an audio alert on each kill.

Of course there is no text so it’s difficult to know exactly what is happening. But, a digital ID (we have DigiD in the Netherlands) is quite handy for anything government concerned.

Of course if ever a service like Facebook would start to use it, I will stay very far away from it.

But it’s nice that my taxes, pension, healthcare etc is all available under 1 “account” (one identity).

It does perhaps open the door to nefarious things but I don’t really see it? At least not from this text. We do really need more transparency I agree there.

If they weren't blown out of proportion, they might not have been fixed and the bad situations might have happened. Sometimes you need to spread fear to get stuff fixed.

Because PL devs and their communities, until very large, have limited resources; supporting niche use cases needs to be provided by people wanting that niche served, not by the primary contributors.
There are fixed nitrogen deposits on Mars (which are also of scientific interest because they might contain fossil remains).

But even without access to such deposits, fixed nitrogen in the form of ammonia could be brought from earth in sufficient quantities to support each settler. Organic waste would be composted and thus the nitrogen recycled with very little loss. N2 waste produced by decomposition would be recaptured by the atmospheric regulators, and either fixed by certain plants brought for that purpose, or industrially fixed by an arc or Haver-Bosch process in the bigger cities.

The blogpost describes that unrelated sibling SMT threads can become corrupted and branch erratically. If you can get a hypervisor thread executing as your SMT sibling and you can figure out how to control it (this is not an if so much as a when), that's a VM escape. The Intel advisory acknowledges this too when they say it can lead to privilege escalation. This is hardly a useless bug, in fact it's awfully powerful!

Cost is one of the core premises of the article:

> Top tier SaaS services like S3 are able to deliver amazing simplicity, reliability, durability, scalability, and low price because their technologies are structurally oriented to deliver those things

The whole point is to explore how to drive cost down (due to higher efficiencies in sharing resources) by having multi tenant approach from the get-go.

The point isn't to compare to running your own database on your own rack. It's to compare single tenant RDS with something like an S3-like multi tenant postgres for example.
I think growing up with a smartphone in your hand makes you extremely well attuned to presentation and sensing how every little data point will be perceived by others. Maybe you need that to navigate today. But I think that acute awareness also comes with a sense that there are currents dragging and pulling at you, which older generations are less perceptive of, and perhaps less vulnerable to.

We now have a generation who had to form their sense of self in a world where they are surrounded by sophisticated social media algorithms. They didn't get to form a sense of self offline, and only then hit the information superhighway where you pick out the perfect TOOL-song for your MySpace.

They had to swim or sink - and they're really good swimmers now, but perhaps on some level they accurately feel like they were robbed of a choice of sorts.

You'll never know who you would have been without the smartphone.
I am french I read your comment then read again the title to see what was wrong and I noticed my brain automatically added the word "entered" after accidentally. So yes I understand your feeling
Yeah having government services done online but NOT having a reasonable e-ID seems like a recipe for disaster. I mean how do you validate your identity if you log in to e.g. do your taxes? I guess each authority could send out some validation code (e.g. tax authority could send out a code on a paper slip with the tax info). But that still feels a bit insecure if that's the only thing validated.

That is the big difference between hardware and software engineering: Once hardware is shipped, there is nothing you can do besides repaurs and retrofits requiring a workshop. Software can updated and changed today anytime.

My biggest issue with modern cars, and it seems this is spreading to other embedded systems than cars, is treating those as software: connect them to the web and run OTA updates everytime you need to fix a bug. That requires some form of inzernet cinnection, which requires regular security updates, which require OTA update capability. All that because, bluntly, software devs cannot be bothered with just finishing software running on non-connected hardware that just works, not can they be bothered following hardware development in case hardware is the main component, as in cars. And no, no car manufacturer is a software company, nor phone maker like Apple.

The proper way of fixing software bigs in automotive used to be, again thank you Tesla for breaking something that just worked, to recall the affected cars to a workshop to conduct the software update. Honestly, the only thing on a car that should be updated by the owner is maps for the GPS unit.
All cloud hosting is "somebody-elses-server". Serverless is more like "pay-per-function-call" in which case Azure Functions has a pretty appropriate name.

Also, the cost of renting databases has nothing to do with newness. Databases have evolved a lot in the past two decades. They do all sorts of stuff under the hood, which is why they can now often consume massive amounts of RAM. That doesn't come for free.
Can get rid of the AI buzzword as well then. This is machine learning.
The closer you get to intelligence trained on human interaction, the more you should expect it to respond in accordance with human social protocols, so it's not very surprising.

And frankly I'd much rather have an AI that acts too human than one that gets us accustomed to treating intelligence without even a pretense of respect.

And you can build your game for Linux or MacOS too! There are some quirks with naming (i.e. you may have a few issues with case sensitive asset names), but it works surprisingly well. The former build option is also natively compatible with the Steam Deck.
No, it's never safe to run random macros. Macros arguably used to be the biggest initial attack vector for threat actors. Maybe still are. Microsoft built a ton of mitigation around it (macros are only allowed in docs with special extensions, macros must be activated by the user, only signed macros will be activated, mark of the web, etc.).
Honestly, the use cases presented here are probably cautionary tales about what not to do. Asking questions about the distant past, from which the LLM likely has very little data in its dataset and we have no "ground truth", is just begging for hallucinations, which you can see happening all over in this post.
Killing wildlife would be okay? Wow we saved some carbon emission (so it can wasted somewhere else...) and saved some lives (i don't see the connection you are implying), so now we can live in a barren land with plenty energy. We have already done a lot of harm to the environment, we should try to preserve as much as possible of what is left.

(And this goes for hydro especially, and somewhat for solar and wind as well, all have environmental impacts, which must be taken into account and sensible compromises need to be made).

They also let you do less basic processing tasks that would have been too expensive to expose over API.

Depends on how much type inference you want.

If you want ML-style total type inference when you expect the compiler to deduce the parameter and the return types of your functions, then yes.

Local variable type inference isn't hard at all, unless you want to do stuff like Rust: declare a variable without an initial value and infer its type from the first assignment downcode.
The automation trap I keep seeming to hit is where I can only output garbage because the input is garbage. And people around me say "well it's obvious this user wrote their name incorrectly and you should have fixed it when you copied it", which would be fair if not for the fact the precludes a script just copying it for you.

We don't know what "think like a person" entails, so we don't know how different human thought processes are to predicting what goes next, and whether those differences are meaningful when making a comparison.

Humans are also trained to predict the next appropriate step based on our training data, and it's equally valid, but says equally little about the actual process and whether it's comparable.
I use Haiku in my old Asus EEE PC 701. It fits in the 4gb SSD leaving space for applications, 1gb of RAM is enough and it supports a lot of daily use applications like libre office or emacs(I'm using version 29 with denote for my personal Knowledge Base).

On the coattails of the CSAR draft for which the expert group was mostly lead by Google, I went to seek whether a similar "expert group" exists for this program.
