Yes, I agree, that's the way to do it. Although it isn't always so obvious how to break it up into limit / filter steps, my example was quite trivial. But there should always be a way somehow.
Chapel and Julia ongoing efforts proves otherwise, and I can tell from CERN days, not everyone uses those tools.

In any case, that means those languages are much better positioned than Rust in such ecosystem.
While I appreciate that modern aircraft are incredibly safe, I don't think many people really appreciate what it means for a flight and aircraft to be ETOPS 240 or ETOPS 330 certified. That means if something happens in the air, you have 4 - 5.5 hours of flying before you reach an acceptable runway. You really are on your own.

> Solar + wind will be the cheapest, and will make up the bulk of primary production. But they won’t replace coal, natural gas, oil and nukes

Replacement isn't binary, though. What I want is to go like 80-90% solar+wind immediately by following Denmark model but with addition of solar & overbuilding & inter-country sharing. The last-mile is made up of natural gas until cheaper storage tech is invented.

Nuclear can get you to 100% but you have to look at AUC of emissions from now until the future, which is potentially worse for nuclear because it takes longer to build, not to mention the higher financial cost of getting there.

If you really want to make a purely climate argument, you could even say that with the money you save by not going nuclear, you can subsidize renewables in poor countries. Two countries with ~60%+ renewables can be better than one country with 100% nuclear. Notwithstanding the AUC emissions benefit of renewables that I describe above.

> How come none of the big tech lobby against it in the EU?

Because lobbying isn't equivalent to corruption and doesn't automatically get you the laws you want.

The European Commission had a three months comment period in 2020 where various interest groups (FAANGs, non-profits, media groups, open-source giants like Mozilla, etc) all submitted their position (which IIRC usually boiled down to "yeah, regulating is awesome, please regulate everyone but me!"). It submitted its report in December 2020, at which point most of the key points were already decided.

No doubt interest groups sent a lot of people to lobbies in the following years to discuss details and push in one direction or another, but by then the commission and parliament had a pretty good idea what they wanted the final law to look like anyway.
Thanks for the suggestion, yesterday I implemented a way to link directly to each politician's face, i.e.: https://dontspy.eu/x/164/ so it can be easily embedded in social media.

It's not "announced" yet and the links aren't embedded in the page yet, I'm testing if the sentence at the top ("The AI Act must protect human rights and work for civil society, not fall into easy concessions to the surveillance ecosystem!") works well or not.

About Instagram stories (I'm building a GPT ), which would turn the most complex article into a series of stories. We don't have a graphic designer and we only do social media in a personal capacity, without a real strategy. I'll update here when I do, I guess if the day goes well it would be around midnight GMT.

The Don't Spy EU is a very unfunded project with only a few people working on it, with other day jobs. (But I'm very happy about the outpouring of support we've gotten from HackerNews - lots of new politician names have been imported, and lots of pictures too!)

For this reason I have really noticed a spike in views and input, it was very important to be seen now that time is running out. if any of you can also share it on reddit or other tech-politics related forums, it would be really helpful!
People don't make the difference because it's exactly the same thing. Neighbouring France has 40% electric heating whereas it's something like 5% in Germany.

> assume you mean, was built, there was no war in Ukriane or elsewhere involving Russia, and hence no lessons to be drwan from it!

And what about the talks with Azerbaijan and the increase imports from Algeria then? (both great countries aligned with the EU I'm sure). More pipelines are planning to be built following the war.
It's not horrible at all.

You might close all windows, but still have a background task running. That's nicely represented by the app remaining on, which can ask about interrupting the background task if you try to close it. It removes the need for most systray usage.
This seems pretty simple to me: please name a single model of breeder reactor ready for industrial deployment.

It is not about failed attempts (there were numerous, for sure) not vague plans. This is about an existing solution, and therefore an existing model of breeder reactor ready for deployment. If you cannot name one, well, there is no solution here.

But like, it's 2023... Having that requirement isn't a hard sell. Especially considering the base of Windows and macOS have fancy requirements as a base.

Also, Flatpak allows for lib dependencies to avoid duplicate libraries from filling up your disk. Not really sure what else you expect.

It is does not.
LCOE is a metric from the Lazard institute has been debunked many time alreayd because it does not take into consideration the cost of the capacity guarantee of the grid.

If you had that, Nuclear become competitive.

If you had that and tax properly coal and Gas plant proportionally to the emission they really do.

Nuclear become even incredibly cheap, specially if we consider its hydrogen co-generation capabilities.

This (need for military-grade plutonium) is only part of the benefits of breeder reactors.

They lift most of the dependency towards uranium providers (needing way less of it), and considerably helps tackling the nuclear waste challenge (producing way less of waste, and less hot).

The challenge is technical: obtaining a satisfying industrial (big, predictable, not too expensive...) breeder isn't a solved problem.
exactly - I would call this the "forgetting the entertainment value" fallacy :)

Also you can't turn your time into money as fungible as spending money is. So Tme is more "liquid" than cash.

That said I got a 3d printer in mid-2016 and basically printed daily getting to know it until the start of 2019 - I had sooo much fan turning the wooden printer i started out with into something reliable. Nowadays i mainly print stuff as I design and need it a couple times a month.
You know what also have, a proven technology that gets cheaper every year? That is easy and fast to deploy, in massive volume? One that actually is deployed, as we speak, in GW scale month after month after month? Solar.

Instead of building new nuclear reactorsy taking decades, we couod use the same money and research better storage tech, better gris tech, make industrail demand more flexible and sponsor heat pumps for domestic heating. Just a thought.
I don't see how that changes anything? Actors pretend to be what they are not, and pretend to be in situations they are not. That is their job. Yes, method acting is one way out of many how they achieve this.

Just so we are on the same page recap of the discussion:

Observation: Magicians are less prone to mental disorders than other artists

Hypothesis1: Maybe they are not less prone, but better at hiding their mental disorders.

Follow on hypothesis2: Maybe they are better at hiding their mental disorders because they are more knowledgeable about psychology.

Now, how you check for this hypothesis is that you design a study which weeds out the truth. So it must be understood when I write my counter argument that it is speculation. It is in the absence of hard data. If anyone has evidence pointing either way that should trump such speculation.

Counterpoint to hypothesis1: There are other artist who we would expect to be just as good or even better to be pretending to be "okay". For example actors. So it feels unlikely to be just up to ability to pretend to be ok.

This is where the conversation was before your comment. Then you wrote what you wrote, which I interpret as "but some actors method act!" Is that a counterpoint to the counterpoint? Is that an alternate hypothesis? If so could you spell it out please? Sorry if this sounds harsh, I'm just trying to understand the argument you are making.

...which is literally the highest praise I have ever given and probably ever will to issue-management software. They correctly realize that we mainly want to not notice the software, which is something that every competitor gets wrong.

This is good news. And while there are problems with achieving 100% renewables year round, from energy storage to geographic country conditions, the world would be much better off when the fossils only are used on these days where there isn't enough renewable energy. No need to go overzealous here for the last few %, I'd be very happy if we manage to globally run the vast majority of the time clean.
> idea of making top surfaces slanted in public spaces to keep people from placing empty drinking cups and such on top of them

That's a low-key example of hostile architecture, isn't it? Other than preventing people from leaving cups around, this decreases the utility of public space. Everyone sometimes finds themselves suddenly needing a flat surface other than pavement for a couple of seconds or minutes. Say you've grabbed multiple coffee cups wrongly, or packed your groceries badly, and need to repack. Or something fragile you carried broke. Or you need to make a note on the spot. A raised flat surface nearby is godsend in such situations.
I love the term "adversarial compatibility". If I had to describe technological progress in computing for the past 40 years, that's what I'd use.

Currently I lean towards Elasticsearch, because it fits our use cases better than OpenSearch.
You know perfectly well why.
There's nothing green about chopping down forests for energy - biomass being called carbon neutral is one of the greenwashing scams of the century.

Whether burned forests are ever regenerated at all is something that I'm incredible sceptical about - there's very little oversight into companies' claims. Even if they are being replanted, you are tearing down potentially primary forest and important habitat and replacing it with tree farms.

Finally, burning wood is incredibly polluting and awful for anyone in the region of said power plants.
Much better than most of the world actually, certainly 2x to 4x better than most US states. Your references are outliers, making it seem that Portugal is a high emitter which is false, relatively speaking. Even without looking at your source its clear that the 3 countries you selected have access to huge amounts of hydro and/or nuclear.

Just look at the map, Portugal is still ranking pretty good globally.

I understand that you can't afford it. I have been a poor hobbyist before. I've been so poor I had to try and do all my projects on an overheating piece of hot garbage government issued laptop and I felt very hard done by for being someone with expensive hobbies that only rich people could afford to actually excel at. But there are free music options. AI is an existential threat to our very right to expression as human being and you should not vote with your money for it to wipe out creatives as a fellow creative. There are also struggling amateur music producers out there who are attempting to get good and make a break. They don't deserve to be drowned forever by a machine.

As humans, the fundamental way we derive meaning from life is creation. The purpose of automation has always been to allow for humans to have more space to be creative, as this is really what we excel at and enjoy. If we insist on replacing our creative functions with machines, we will make ourselves obsolete, apart from the few CEOs who own the massive servers that nobody else can afford to own and closed source super-powerful AI systems. Even if you think these ghoul-like assholes would actually care to help the destitute masses whose jobs have rapidly become obsolete on an unprecedented scale that our economy cannot handle, humans require meaning and goals to survive. If we have to all just be kept alive by server owners because our passions are made irrelevant by mass producing robots, humans will die out just from the psychological stress. This is a real thing, one of the top indicators of long lifespan is older people retaining passions, goals and some level of work.

This is of course all worst case scenario stuff I'm talking about here. But I struggle to see an argument for how allowing AI to take over every aspect of our society would not lead to plenty of horrible consequences.

Your convenience is not worth it, I'm sorry.
This battery per device just means more devices would be broken, too.

Just like the numerous ups and raid batteries I've had that reported they were fine until the moment they were actually needed.
- Very-low activity (TFA): 30% of total volume, negligible activity, they are stored in soft containers.

- Low- and medium-activity, short-life (FMA-VC): 60% of total volume. They are compacted and poured in concrete, then stored.

- Low-actiity, long-life (FA-VL): 6% of total volume, disposal method is under study.

The two categories below represent >99% of total radioactivity:

- Medium-activity, long-life (MA-VL) 3% of total volume, they are compacted.

- High-activity, long-life (HA-VL): 0.2% of total volume, they are vitrified.

MA-VL and HA-VL are then stored in stainless steel caskets, to be disposed in deep, geologically stable repositories (Cigéo in France, Onkalo in Finland, ...).

This is a work in progress. The growing fleet of renewable units will enable Spain to shut reactors down without building other ones.

That's a real leap to think anyone given that title would assume for six days all vehicles in the country were swapped to electric. Specific to the absurd, implied context isn't misleading.
Oh and just to add, if you want something with a similar productivity and learning profile to vim but smaller footprint, no plugins and things like tree sitters etc working out of the box, https://helix-editor.com/ is worth checking out. It's similar-ish to vim with fewer inconsistencies in usage, less configuration possible/needed and my experiences of using it so far have been pretty great. There are a few vim features that I don't really know how to live without but tried using it exclusively for a few days and was very impressed in general.
The question remains, how many of these "things that look like secrets" are actual secrets, and how many are 'password="[password]"' or 'password="12345678"' (where 12345678 is not the actual password)? Going by the only category they took a closer look at, there are not that many actually "actionable" secrets...

I always deplore this shallow influencing of design patterns without proper examination of whether said design pattern fits or is even correctly described by the popularizer. People fail to realize that inversion of control is necessary ONLY if some controls need to be inverted.

To be fair, "inversion of control" is a great concept, but unfortunately told in a very specific way across time so the meaning now has changed into an inferior form of the original.

Well, institute or not, European elextricity markets, which include grid operators and plant operators, agreed on awarding contracts based on generation cost alone (mostly fuel and certificates, I'd have to sig up the details but am literally to lazy to do for a discussion that seems to happen 50% in the land of make believe).

Nuclear is, by any metric you want, on the actual happening markets too expensivebto build new capacity. No amount of "if-only-and-then-if"s changes that.

That's the nicest counter-example to my example, thanks for that! I wasn't familiar with take_while() (looks like that's Rust, and looks like Python has a similar itertools.takewhile() ), TIL a neat FP version of break. My example was quite trivial, it's not always so obvious how to break up a convoluted loop, but it should always be possible.
They use this to finish writing the sector they were writing so they can guarantee they always completely write the sector or not at all.

As far as I know this mechanism is not used for write caches.

It’s fundamentally a Unixism, like the tilde and some other characters used in C family languages that don’t exist on many European keyboards.

If you look back 30-50 years, most of the popular programming languages like Pascal and BASIC used a very limited character set. Instead of symbols like various brackets and tilde and backtick, they used keywords. This was intentional because they were designed to be possible to type on various Latin keyboards.

But Unix and C were developed by American hackers who had no reason not to use all the ASCII characters available on the Teletype-whatever connected to the PDP-whatever. And that’s the path we ended up on.

In the 1980s the C standard committee tried to address this problem by adding support for trigraphs. There’s a whole set of three-character symbols (identified by a prefix of two question marks) that can be used in C code in place of curly brackets and all the rest of the exotic ASCII set. But I’ve never seen anyone use this, and I think trigraphs are scheduled for removal in C.
When you search for usage of Differential Sync you'll find lots of news reports about it being included as technology in file sync and file backup solutions.

I've not directly worked on it, but I get the impression that it's mostly used in file backup because of how Differential Sync works. In Differential Sync the server and the client both hold two copies of the data/document. One representing their own state, and one representing what they thing the other's state is. Then the differences are computed between those documents and sent to the other.

For any given client, this isn't too onerous. You'd have to hold the client and server copy of the doc. But for a server, serving many clients, you'll end up with a lot of client-specific copies of that document. For N clients, you'd have N+1 copies of the document. It doesn't take too many clients before this becomes a real problem.

So if you're backing up 1 client to 1 server, Differential Sync is fine. But if you're trying to keep tens, hundreds, or thousands of clients in sync then you end up with a lot of client "shadow" copies of the server's document.
Some do, others ruthlessly murder their rivals to get to be prince (in the sense of ruler, not 'son of the king'). Others have to win a power struggle to maintain the accident of birth that put them there.
The article was vague, but it did cite Media Matters without further detail.

When looking for context, I found Media Matters attacking Musk for criticizing the ADL. There was a concise post by Musk, followed by another expanding on the context. Unsurprisingly the concise one was spun in an uncharitable way to fit a partisan agenda.

Not a fan of Musk, Media Matters, the ADL or culture wars. Everyone is too quick to jump at their perceived opponent's throat. There's no dialogue, only demonization.
My own anti-Windows rhetoric and that of others I chat with almost never includes the sentiment that "Windows is somehow the only OS in the world you can't customize." On the contrary, it does have considerable flexibility.

No, what we don't like is the bloated, boggy UX, the built-in always-on spyware, and the product-on-rails BS masquerading as predictive features intended to ease use. It's the OS for the lowest common denominator, and we avoid it because of that.
