Water itself isn't wet, but it makes other things wet by sticking to surfaces and creating a layer of liquid on them. Wetness is the ability of a liquid to adhere to the surface of a solid, and since water can do that, it makes things feel wet.
> it's easy to see that even we assume 50% curtailment rate,

It is now 07h00 in Portugal.

- Solar production is reduced to 0% because it is night time. Like it is 30% of the time.

- Wind is not blowing much. Wind production is at 3.14% of its total capacity.

To compensate that, 29% of the production is guarantee by Gas powerplant. The rest from Hydro.

To compensate its high Hydro consumption, Portugal is also doing Hydro storage for around 500 MW by Night using electricity imported from Spain.
Spanish Electricity is produced around 25% from Gas, which makes the entire operation looks pretty much like Greenwashing.

The situation is not exceptional. It can in fact happen for weeks when an heavy depression exist in northern Atlantic.

So please, tell me again: How easy will it be to achieve 100% renewable we assume 50% curtailment rate ?

Shall Portugal increase its Wind capacity again by 20x ?

Can Hydro storage powered by Gas powerplants ever be considered "Green" ?

Or Shall we maybe rely on future magical Hydrogen electrolyser that do not exist yet to solve 22 GW of coal power consumption like Germany ?
The memory management on Linux is worse than in Windows and Mac.

Mac has an efficient memory compression and dynamic swap system, Windows also has one, but a little bit less efficient in my personal experience, and on Linux you have to configure zRAM or zSwap and they don’t work as well. You can’t keep memory pages as compressed data in RAM what you can do in Mac and Windows. The out of memory behavior is also very bad on Linux, where it will just lock your system. On Mac it will spill swap to disk as much as you have disk space.

That is one anecdote for how Linux has a bit an inferior user experience.
> What's an acceptable error rate for such a model?

Ideally, 0%. We're talking about people's lives and health here.

But, right, realistically:

> What's the human baseline?

Good question, but I would hope it's much better than a 90% error rate. And if it's not, any sane company in any sane industry would figure out why things are that bad, and fix it. Of course, insurance companies are the scum of the earth, and have a huge incentive to get things wrong in this way.
ADHDer here. The problem I frequently run into is that I don't stop to consider things. I don't, for example, stop to think "should I really be doing this right now?" when I'm hyper-focused on solving some interesting problem. Pomodoro-like techniques are really helpful because it is basically a "stop and evaluate what you're doing" reminder that goes off every 20 minutes.

So to answer your question, I think I would be happy for the reminder. But I would have to be careful not to build the habit of dismissing the clock, which would undo the point entirely.
I tried multiple times to use Linux as primary desktop. I gave up. Windows hardware support for consumer devices is just better. And games, especially old games.

I predict this that AI will be (intentionally) used as a scapegoat for plausible deniability in some industries. "We just followed our AI model." "We thought it was doing the job." "It's too complex to understand."

Obviously once you know or believe that your AI model is wrong, and you are doing a disservice to your clients/patients... and especially once you begin discussing this internally, then you are aware of the problem and should not (get caught) sweeping it under the rug.
If anything, the "death panels" on private insurers (whatever form they might actually take) are likely much worse than a government-run "death panel".
especially as EU regulators are generally skeptical of the business practices of large US multinationals

The singling out of US multinationals is a bit of a myth, it's just more visible to us tech people and since the revenues are larger, the fines also tend to be larger. But they also fined Daimler, Scania, DAF, Philips, Volvo, Deutsche Bank, etc.

It is way worse than “6 hours of daylight” due to the lower angle of the sun.

I don’t know the numbers for southern Sweden but for Stockholm level you get maybe 5% to 10% of the production you get in the summer.

Here in Finland we have it even worse but I know where to find the numbers.

https://www.fingrid.fi/en/electricity-market-information/sol...

Basically if we are lucky we hit 5% of a typical summer day for an hour maybe two. As the days are less then half as long you end up with ~1% the production vs summer.

But in reverse the panels are really good during the summer as the days are very long. This is why people bother installing solar here.

> You're again comparing the best of then to the worst of now though.

No, I am comparing what was common then to what's common now.

Granted, the menu structure of apps back then was in large part common, because there was only the desktop, and GUI programming was still in its infancy, so everyone used the same widgets.

And no, I am not saying that everything back then was great. There absolutely were apps with shite interfaces. Only it was a lot harder to justify them.

> Standards for things like this will likely settle in over time.

Some will, but since we made the transition from building interfaces to designing them, agreeing on standards became much much harder.

Because now interfaces are the playground of marketing, brand recognition, product identity and design fads. Even explaining how an app works can be hard, because the person asking me could be in another group in some godamn A/B test and have a different one, even though we use the same App.

> When apps now need to have support for touch + trackpads + mouse + keyboard, mobile/tablet/desktop screens, and multi-platform

That certainly makes it more difficult, and requires careful consideration for different platforms.

So riddle me this: Why was common the reaction of all these different requirements to suddenly pretend everyone is using a phone for everything all the time?

Because that's how many apps and websites now look: Like something designed for a small phone screen and navigation by thumb. I open a website on a 4K monitor with a laser-precision pointing device, and I get an information density comparable to the intergalactic void.

I know that this is hard. But the end solution is not installing European Windows versions, but fixing government, especially curtailing lobbying, campaign funding, etc. And break the narrative 'market is everything, government is the enemy' that is so common in the US.

Neither would nuclear plants, if the world came to its senses and built breeder reactors: Their "waste" is fuel for other reactors.

Partly that, and partly (IMO in much larger part) due to scaremongering propaganda. Like you seem to have bought in to.
Carding, and account takeovers due to credential reuse
Not quite true as the power meant for emergencies has not been
activated. Oil power plants has been in use because oil prices have
been low while electricity prices have been high. That the price of
electricity fluctuates is a feature of the system not a drawback
because it shapes consumer demand according to availability.

The balance is built into the system. When elecricity prices are low
wind power just disconnects generation capacity, while nuclear has to
sell electricity for negative prices.

It's strange because you have distorted the facts. iTerm doesn't "suddenly" ask for accessibility permissions. You, by your own description, have attempted to make global changes to the macOS GUI. That's a legitimate and expected situation for an accessibility permission dialog to show up.

> In terms of efficiency/productivity/time saved, my guess is that it's not worth it.

For me, I wouldn’t be using vim if there wasn’t a productivity bump. When I became comfortable with vim I was appreciably faster, but it took maybe a year to get to that point. Not having to reach for the mouse is a huge benefit. Macros turn repetitive manipulations to a from O(n) to O(1). Using the dot key to repeat a change can be very powerful too

Anyway $1/year is great

Are you sure you're not projecting there? The idea we might live forever turns technological development into a path that might one day lead to 'salvation.' And, most tellingly, that day of salvation invariably tends to lie just within one's life expectancy, again as with Ray Kurzweil - though there are endless other examples. By appealing to advanced tech you can convince yourself anything is possible, when that's obviously not the case.

I think this was an issue, even in the distant past. The Fountain of Youth would have been being 'thought up' about the time mankind was discovering all sorts of strange wonders in the world, like what happens if one chews on the bark of the willow tree. You will feel a bit odd, but all of your pain and discomfort will just magically fade. Of course that is where Aspirin comes from. And similarly for all other sorts of other seemingly magical discoveries. In this context it's easy to convince oneself that even the waters of immortality are just one more discovery away, but really there's no reason to really think it was, or is.
Well, that seems more a consequence of OCD than consequence of being an artist?

>“The current thermoelectric conversion efficiency is about 28 per cent; with a hotter 600 degree thermal fluid, efficiency could reach 34 per cent,” he said.
Such efficiency can rival that of steam turbines.

I was curious about that, but Wikipedia[0] says

>...in steam turbines, turbine entry temperatures are typically 565 °C (the creep limit of stainless steel) and condenser temperatures are around 30 °C. This gives a theoretical Carnot efficiency of about 63% compared with an actual efficiency of 42% for a modern coal-fired power station.

>...A modern, large electrical power station (producing several hundred megawatts of electrical output) with steam reheat, economizer etc. will achieve efficiency in the mid 40% range, with the most efficient units approaching 50% thermal efficiency.

Yeah, my main gripe is the design seems like a subpar hanger.

If she's going ditch purity of wood or steel wire, with bits of plastic, go all the way and have nice little molded end for shoulders. Or coat the wire in velvet which is life changing upgrade in terms of anti slip (she has muh silicon stoppers). Also would be nice if she extended horizontal neck of hanger out with a stop to keep fabric away from the back/wall so the crease is not rubbing against a surface. Just little ideas which I feel like she must have considered with 100+ iterations and the result is functionally subpar. Granted aestehtically simply and pleasing to some.

My approach is to publish to my own blog at https://simonwillison.net and then copy and paste content from that into a Substack newsletter at https://simonw.substack.com a few times a month.

It's been working really well.

Substack don't have an API, but they do support copy and paste - so I built myself a tool that assembles my blog content into rich text I can copy and paste straight into the Substack editor.

I wrote about how that works here: https://simonwillison.net/2023/Apr/4/substack-observable/
"I" in a title refers to the author of the post (or video in this case). There's no implication that the author is also the submitter.

For example, I think I need to go lie down - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38288130 was on the front page for 20 hours yesterday, but it wasn't the submitter who thought they needed to go lie down.

In terms of taking out the person's name, we do that a lot in titles—especially when it wasn't that way in the original—because HN works better when the focus is on content rather than personalities.

`Nuclear "just works"`

No it doesn't. Nuclear power plants are nowhere near insured to risk and nuclear waste is not paid for. So nuclear operators are freeloading on society for decades making billions of profits [0].

To make nuclear "work", one would need to adjust insurance and establish a trust to pay for nuclear waste facility operation for the next hundres of years. But then, no one would operate them nuclear plants from the building costs to the operating and insurance costs.

As a car driver I need to insure my car, so the insurance company pays people I hit. Nuclear operators do not need to insure their plant to any significant risk level.

And if you think a disaster is not happening, well I also don't intend to have a car accident, so why do I need to pay insurance?

[0] Fukushima is around $80B-$200B, the US nuclear insurance coverage is $15B. Chernobyl was around $200B.
