"It's great that my Bugatti Veyron is so fast, and it's egregious that it can't also be used as a boat."

The reason M1/M2/M3 is so quick is that it's such a highly-integrated design, with the RAM and the GPU on the same die and thus sharing very high bandwidth connections.

This is _why_ it doesn't have DIMM slots. It's quick for the same reasons that the memory isn't expandable.

You also don't hear about people who fail and feel worse because the only things they've heard are success stories and that make them feel worse.

Well ... exposure therapy is an actual therapeutic technique that is used to successfully treat social anxiety and is usually one of the first methods tried, often as part of a CBT process, so let's not all jump on the "confirmation bias" band wagon. An anecdote is not data but an anecdote doesn't magically somehow prove the opposite.

The issue isn't lack of compensation necessarily, it's lack of societal support.

Here in America I cannot work on OSS because if I tried to make that my main form of contribution, I would not survive due to healthcare costs, living costs etc. Companies being made to pay more or subsidize OSS I believe would have a detrimental effect on the system, because then it warps OSS to serve the desires of big companies in order for its contributors to survive.

The actual solution to this problem would be things like socialized healthcare detached from work. This isn't to say I think companies shouldn't pay for OSS (they absolutely should be funding and contributing to work that underpins their software) but rather that we need to reduce the reliance on corporate funding for people to be full time contributors.
> [0] Fukushima is around $80B-$200B, the US nuclear insurance coverage is $15B. Chernobyl was around $200B.

So you speak about $400B, lets consider it upper bound and even up to $500B by adding the cost Three Miles island incident and the various minor ones around the world.

Spread over 60 years of the humanity nuclear power usage, that makes us an insurance cost of 8.3 billions dollar per year at world scale.

So the risk cost $8.3B per year at world scale for a source of energy that generate 25% of the world low-carbon electricity [1] and make us save around 470 millions tons of CO2 per year [2].

To put things into perspective: the US spend $150B in natural disaster cost coverage per year alone [3]

The EnergyWende of Germany alone cost around $40B per year.

And the cost of the death related to fossil fuel emissions in modern history is estimated at $1.7T in the OECD alone [4].

So I think it is fair to qualify $8.3B/year for a nuclear energy insurance cost to be pretty cheap deal at humanity scale.

I would even qualify it to be ridiculously cheap.

Your sentence "Nuclear power plants are nowhere near insured to risk" is pretty typical of the anti-nuclear argumentation: Mainly based on feelings not on facts.

Based on facts, it is currently plain wrong.

Your personal impression doesn't really matter though. What matters is the statistics.

Of course there is sun in Germany. Yes, there's less. But then it's also cooler which makes the solar panels more efficient. What matters is if it's economical to use solar panels there, which it is. In summer, where some areas will use quite a bit of AC, there's more daylight hours than regions further south. In winter, if you have vertically mounted panels, a nice effect you can get is that the snow reflects extra sunlight from the ground to the solar panel.

Fun fact, even the airport in Longyearbyen in Svalbard, Norway - an island close to the north pole - has solar panels. They're mounted vertically on the walls, since the sun is never very high in the sky. There's no sun at all in winter, but in summer there's sun 24/7.

https://sunpower.maxeon.com/int/case-study/energy-arctic-cir...

It's surprising how much production they get even that far north: "the PV system produces as much as 70 percent of what is typically produced in Germany"

So please don't use your subjective impression about how bright you feel it is to gauge the viability of solar. I can tell you from personal experience, it's not very bright in Svalbard even in summer.

BTW, much of the energy need in winter in northern climates is for heating. It's surprisingly effective to store thermal energy over several months. So it's actually viable to dump heat from excess solar in a thermal reservoir in summer, and use that heat in winter.

Of course, I agree that "total energy balance isn’t a particularly useful metric", given the impact of solar energy ; but picking the right subset is important.

I would argue that:

* excluding "the energy coming from the sun" is fair game, given that we as a society have very little impact on it

* excluding "the energy not transferred as electricity" is not fair, and misleading, given that it represent a minority of the energy for which the society has a choice.

If [1] gives roughly the correct numbers, Urugay is using ~200TJ/y, and ~40TJ comes from electricity. Not insignificant, and it's the right strategy to replace as much of the remaining 80% by renewables through electricity.

But as long as 20% !== 100%, and as long as people will mis-title articles for no good reason, people will have to correct headlines.

Knowing most large corps, they would rather pay a contractor $175/hr for two months than sign a $20/month license. Also, you usually cannot hire the open-source maintainer as the contractor, you have to use some company with insider relationships.

You’re suggesting we reduce the work day just for software engineers (many of whom probably work longer than 8 hours) but not other engineers, teachers, autoworkers?

Some people. There are people who think Starbucks is too expensive. There are people who donate to open source.
For what little it's worth, I fully agree with you. This _should_ be so blindingly obvious that I have yet to wrap my head around how one could think differently.

Maybe it's a clout thing? That some people really want to make a living _selling_ software, but at the same time do not want to miss out on the cachet of "I'm doing open source"?

Whatever the reason, there is some amount of cognitive dissonance involved.
studio albums are already partly machine generated and completely different from live performances. popular music is often impossible to perform live due to the actual track being composed from split segments sawn together so fast that a human performer does not have any time to breathe.

I develop some open source software that I created. It's not very popular, maybe few use cases currently + my services hosted by me. But I still have an userbase and that userbase demands features from me. I tell them that the source code is open, you are free to create pull requests for me to review, but 95% of these people are no developers so they cannot do that. So now I have users who I care about, but who also demand me to develop the systems further. I don't know, I have mixed feelings about this situation, but in the end I drove myself in this dead-end, so it's my fault.
People will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on proprietary software.

Most of those people won’t spend $100 on open source software.
I think there should be some serious changes about this. Github already knows which software packages a company uses. They could facilitate this. For example if the OSS maintainer asks for it, any company more than say three members should pay a monthly fee per package. Even 1 USD per package per month would make a huge difference for OSS. So if your javascript package.json has 20 dependencies, and you are actively developing, every month you should expect to pay 20USDfor that package.json.

I know the math above can be challenged from multiple aspects. But we need to start from somewhere.
Note that it supports fewer languages for automatic translation, but all the translation happens client-side, which is super cool.

Most providers had a semi-automated process that granted you permission to conduct your pentest (assuming you'd share any findings reg. their infra with them). In reality though, most of the findings didn't come from poking around but from tapping the wire. I'd spin up VMs and tcpdump for hours, then look at the logs for odd packets, plaintext etc. etc. which makes it hard to detect such shenanigans

Edit: We went through the process for everything, including having a provider ship us a back-up solution to pentest. My desk became everyone's favourite place in the building :P

The second you need to do something the AI can’t do, you’ll be trudging through garbage and breaking tons of things in regression (causing either errors or visual bugs).

In your scenario, AI will likely produce code that _it_ determines to be maintainable, or if it’s rebuilt each time as you suggest, then it doesn’t need to be maintainable or readable at all.

Good code is written for teams, not individuals. It’s written for future you and future people who you will never meet.

I don't agree with the author on how financial compensation should be structured or where does it have to come from.

My idea about what's currently in open-source domain is that it can be split into two categories: infrastructure projects that enable users to use their computers at the basic level, enable networking communication and maintain state-provided services land in "category A", while "category B" can be roughly described as interesting hobbies, leisure, entertainment etc.

What needs to happen, in my mind is that we need (international) organizations like eg. WHO to take care of the "category A" projects, where governments would have to allocate resources to finance and oversee these projects. Much in the same way how governments spend money on postal service or regulate / oversee banking. So, projects like Linux or OpenStack need to be under such international umbrella. This would require a bureaucratic process of examining such projects, estimating their usefulness, budgeting them etc.

On the other hand, non-essential projects, or projects that explicitly don't want government oversight / intervention could still work on the currently employed scheme: donations, sponsorship, volunteering.

In other words, I believe that some people working on open-source projects today ought to be paid. We just need a framework which establishes how much and how many such people can be employed for how long etc. It's prudent to make them (international) government employees to avoid playing into interests of sponsors who might not act in the interest of anyone but themselves.

For me, this would also solve a situation whereas employees of private companies are told / paid to work with open-source technology, but are powerless against the maintainers of such technology, while having no plausible alternatives. A lot of such projects succeed based solely on the good will of the open-source maintainers, but some fail due to the lack of, or deliver lower quality products. Having essential services covered by a government entity, and, by extension, being open to citizen complaints and wishes would make it possible to fight back against maintainers lacking the said good will.
Open source and "give me money" are the antithesis of each other.

I quite like this approach but I wish the web component spec had been better to begin with, I shouldn't have to "feed in" the internal divs to the web component (which wrecks encapsulation), HTML templates should be possible to name and instantiate from within HTML, allowing for proper encapsulation, while having the javascript be entirely optional and allow for progressive enhancement.

I ramble about this on my blog if anyone cares: https://btmc.substack.com/p/making-sense-of-web-components

I've wanted to make a simple compiler (I'm talking a single python script level of complexity here) which takes a set of .html files with named templates inside (HTML+CSS+JS sane web components), encapsulates the CSS and the JS, then goes through the various actual .html page files and replaces each instance of the template <my-component></my-component> with a "HTML Web Component" as described in Jim Nielsen's article.
