I agree that wind/solar and nuclear are alternatives rather than complements. This is why I think little nuclear will end up being built outside countries like France which are all in on it.

As the cost of generating electricity from gas is mostly the cost of the gas its perfectly reasonable to have those gas plants built and operated 10% of the time so long as the total system cost is much lower than building nuclear.

There's an arguable case that for 100% carbon-free electricity (rather than 90% carbon free) the economics of nuclear are potentially viable, at least for places like northern Europe where you can't just build a huge amount of solar and 24 hours of battery storage.

But it seems far more important to decarbonise the grid as fast as we can and that means building lots of cheap renewables. Nuclear is simply too expensive and too slow to build. Which is a shame because it is cool tech!

Closing existing nuclear plants like Germany has done is an absolute disgrace. We should keep existing plants open for as long as possible.

And of course, if anyone can figure out how to build nuclear cheaply then build a bunch more. Then maybe they will replace the renewables currently being built as they end of their service lives.
I was told they do have some slower paced roles (versus most of the "tip of the spear" work they do) during my last interview cycle, but it has been some time since that has occurred. Appreciate the recent ground truth. Does 18F still have a remote contingent of support/ancillary roles? It's always helpful to know who I can send where for those looking for work vs those needing work done.

Edit: Many thanks for taking the time to reply in depth.

Literally the closing paragraph of TFA is about that exact irony.
But they wouldn't. They'd rank themselves something like 1,2,2,3. We're not dealing with a population collaborating to all rank themselves in order, but rather each person individually estimating where their abilities lie in the population.

The point is that if you ask someone in the, say, 5th percentile of ability what their ability is compared to the population, they might say 25th percentile. Ask someone at the 25th,and they might say 40th. At the 40th they could say 55th. And at the 90th, maybe they'll say 80th. So yes, if you order their guesses, they will be in roughly the correct order. But, crucially, that doesn't mean that they are ranking themselves correctly!
You’re assuming all/large portion of the stolen code was developed by him and he could have even written all of it at the NVIDIA.

If you don't like any of these, you don't like science fiction. As Fred Pohl said, "the task of the science fiction writer is not to imagine the automobile but the traffic jam".

Perhaps you prefer "cowboys in space", like Star Trek, Star Wars, Terminator, or Firefly.
Good article, and I sort of guess that maybe the author is trying to make people of their own political stripe that they can care about this issue without being "antisemites", which I get. But the whole thing rings a little of "it's not enough to agree with me on an issue, you must do so for the right reasons". Which is a bit counterproductive. A lot of our current political issues are precisely because we've lost the ability to cooperate on shared interests that emerge from differing perspectives. Ironically, exactly the problem the author is facing.
> Dark matter interacts only gravitationally and is currently the leading explanation for things like galaxy rotation curves

Not exact. For so weak technologically civilizations such our Terrestrial, now could not detect many distant objects which does not emit EM spectrum.

For example, only small fraction of known planets outside our Solar system, seen on telescopes directly, most others detected by indirect means - measuring difference of speed of star (by Doppler shift), or measuring changes of brightness of star, when big planet eclipse star (most cases partially).

In many cases, planets orbits are not so fortunate to us to detect them, and these planets for us are dark matter also.

To be exact, for us "normal" matter are only classic stars and some other objects like Black holes when they "eat" something.

Astronomers already made calculations, based on assumption, that Solar system is more or less typical (we know approx weights of matter of Sun, Planets, Asteroids, Star dust, etc), and seen, that all we know could been about half of dark matter, but other half we could not explain, and this is huge number.
This is a bit of an exaggeration. The Paris metro is about as fast as the Tokyo metro, its just that the Tokyo metro is a larger and denser system, since it is serving a larger and denser city.
There is some element of truth to what they said, though. Not to take away from these other examples, but it is more than seeing new nuances, as in, it can become an entirely new paradigm of thinking. In English, things feel very limited and strict, and your expressiveness (so I find, at least) has an upper limit. With something like Latin, you can express more, with less, and in completely new ways that you would not think about at all in English.

There is more to this argument, but this is a good start, I think.
But with enough training data, it's not generating it because it remembers the exact code line for line, it does it because it knows that to be a good method. Especially if you ask it to refactor it, that's a whole new creation even if it's been done before by some engineer somewhere.
Feistel ciphers are a good technique for doing just this but it's also worth noting that if all you are looking for is "produce a pseudorandom permutation of 1..N without actually shuffling a list of numbers" you can also use an LFSR as well.
A thing can be bad for two reasons; to recognize that it's bad because of one of them is not to deny that it's bad for the other.
“Ultimately, they settled on approximately 3.2 kHz.” doesn’t really explain who made this decision, when, or why.

All we get is “Long ago, when the phone networks were still completely analog, when the first real phone networks were being built, the engineers that were designing them faced a decision.” Who were those engineers? What company? How did they test what would be adequate bandwidth?
If unskilled and skilled self-assessed themselves the same on average, then unskilled overestimate, and skilled underestimate.

That would be a significant result alone - that no one had any idea. (but as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38416100 notes, there is a correlation).
Australia Is Edging Closer to Meeting Its 2030 Emissions Target
Federal government is an excellent choice for a chill place to work as your last job. One perk of theirs is being able to keep their healthcare plan after you retire, and it’s one of the best available in the country.
The difference is that the method is more secure than an LFSR.

There are people who won't talk to anyone from the political religion opposite to theirs. Both sides call each other Nazis. And they'll vote for a candidate from their party even if the candidate would have to rule without regaining consciousness before they'd consider the other party. I think that's a pretty extreme level of brainwashing.
of course, but an LFSR is going to be faster (provided you have a reasonable number of rounds in your Feistel cipher), have some situationally desirable statistical properties and is easier to adapt than a format-preserving encryption technique like a Feistel network.
I once worked on an application where the user would write a description of their character's traits, and the character's outfit would update based on their input. We got a complaint from a customer who put the word "murderer" in their description and saw that their character now brandished an axe. From my perspective, they offended themselves.

IRL I exclusively use cash, bitcoin, and visa gift cards (purchased with cash).

Small vendors very often give me discounts. They hate paying stripe/cc fees and want to encourage more to use cash.

The visa gift cards are a last resort. I prefer not to support cashless businesses as they discriminate against the undocumented, unbanked, and privacy conscious. I have been the former two at previous points in my life, and remain the latter.

I refuse to disclose my timestamped location and what I purchased for lunch, or at a pharmacy, to Visa or Mastercard, Stripe, and god only knows how many insurance companies, political campaigns, and adtech firms they sell data to.
A related effect that I've wondered about is: perhaps lower-skilled people compare themselves to the general public, while perhaps skilled people compare themselves to a smaller group of skilled peers.

In other words, if you asked me if I'm good at riding a bicycle, I'd compare myself to others in the general population and say "yes". But if you ask a weekend bicyclist, they'd be better than me but perhaps compare themselves to weekend bicyclists, and rate themselves lower. And the effect might repeat for competitive bicyclists.

If true, this could explain why we intuitively believe the DK effect.
Right vs left wing, from the very origin of the term, have always been about the two sides in one given country.

The second example for each language sample where the generated squid ends up being “B4aajs” essentially reads as “P0ooop” to a Swedish speaker.

>"Between 2013 and 2016 things changed with AMD’s introduction of the Mantle graphics API on PC. Designed only for AMD GPUs in concert with EA DICE, Mantle shed the baggage of the legacy APIs to give the programmer much lower level GPU access and a thinner abstraction over how it works. The results — higher performance due to more efficient use of the GPU — opened the floodgates.

Metal in 2014 for Apple platforms, followed by DirectX®12 and Vulkan® in 2016, all took a similar lower-level and more explicit approach to programming the GPU. All of those APIs put a higher burden on the programmer being more clear and explicit about what they’d like the GPU to do, giving the programmer more control.

It effectively moves more of the traditional view of what a GPU driver is into the application."

If the above statement from the article is true -- then graphics cards with closed-source drivers should be able to have open-source drivers written for them, if the graphics card in question supports one or more of the following low-level API's:

Compare Moniruzzaman with Sergey Aleynikov [0] who allegedly "stole" [open source] Erlang code from Goldman Sachs, was arrested by the FBI at Newark airport, found guilty in Federal court and was initially sentenced to 8 years in jail although it was overturned on appeal. He was then tried again on the same charges this time in NY state courts and again the conviction was overturned but then reinstated on appeal by the NYC DA, he was ultimately sentenced to time served (1 year) while waiting for the federal trial as he was deemed a "flight risk".

So I think with "only" a €14,400 fine, Moniruzzaman did better than Sergey despite apparently committing an actual crime.

I'm not sure that's correct. AFAIK, having deep Oracle knowledge is very valuable to the right employer, but not so much for non-Oracle shops.

From my experience ~20 years ago, Oracle and SQL Server were very different beasts.

IIRC, once you get past trivial querying and into storage design, query optimization, etc., they're very different beasts. And Oracle in particular is it's own, huge world at that level. (Again, if I recall correctly.)
Companies of this size have routine code audits that would find copyright infringements of this sort. If the employee literally brought in source code files and not even change the name of the directory like it was highlighted here, it'd have been caught. The audit is also not conducted by the manager, but a third party. There is no possible way this would fly unless the individual intentionally stripped the source of copyright notices (the individual's fault), or the source code was just sitting on their laptop and never acted upon, etc.

So I think the question (and I'm not a lawyer...) is whether Nvidia conducted such audit and to what extent (if any) the other company's source code was merged into theirs (versus just sitting on the laptop).
No problem, the two answers here:

1/ You don't have duplicates because a Feistel network assures you there is no duplicates: every input has a different output with a fixed key in every round.

2/ If the secret is compromised anyone can issue valid numbers in the same way that if your secret encryption keys for encrypting your data exposes it. The idea is that the secret key material is never compromised as it is assumed in all security cases. You should custody with the right measures based on the attack vectors you have. The custody of secrets is independent of this method.

Please let me know if you have more questions.

I think the "unique IDs" part of the title throws people off and brings security to mind. "The main use of Sqids is purely visual" is what you need to know. It's not necessarily for IDs, it's just a user-friendly way to encode/decode numbers.
Sorry, but faster for the computing capabilities we have in every electronic device is no significant in the application. I have not seen a customer inquiring about the speed of this process. They were looking to a method that is more secure than others.

For example, in the case of Philip Morris was about winning prizes and imagine if they tried other methods before where some smart people reversed the method.

Beginners, by definition, are guessing 100%. Some will guess high, others low, and the rest in between. But they are all guessing. Perhaps There's a cultural bias to over-estimate their skill? Perhaps there's a nudge in the process of the study that led them to overestimate?

The lede isn't that people over-estimate their skill level. The lede is, why would that be as they have nothing else to go on. That is the trigger or triggers? And to say, the more experienced estimate better? Well, duh.

It always puzzled me not just with Napoleon but a couple other recent European expansionist dictators, why they kept overextending their reach. Why did they not just stop at a reasonable point and reinforce the conquest, instead of losing it all.

Actually maybe Putin is one example where this may be in fact happening.
My understanding is that you can re-order the source alphabet, and encode numbers with swapped characters. Unless you know of 36 numbers that they're exactly 1 id apart, you will always have uncertainty to what the ids actually map to.I guess given a large, large number of ids along with the order they're assigned (which might be given through the time at which they're assigned), you could create a pribabilistic statement on the actual order of the 36 characters based on the fact that most numbers increase/decrease faster the bigger they are. (this fact is e.g. used to detect fabricated bank statements - if the first digit of any number in the statement is equally likely to br 1 or 9, the numbers are randomly generated whereas if they're real, 9 is less likely than 1)

It's just sad because so many people accept this kind of mediocrity as the norm, when I absolutely believe it doesn't have to be. If you actually enjoy your job, the technology space, and your coworkers (all achievable in theory), then no matter how old you were, those other asks would be givens. And in addition, you'd be 100% likely to be more successful and have some pull when you need some emergency (or necessary) time off.

The newest generation most advanced spaceships are made from steel, see Starship.

When you go to both maximum cold (cryo fuel), and you go to maximum (reentry heat) then steel is amazing.

Aluminum would turn to butter on reentry, it would require a massive amount of heat shielding. Titanium alloys would have same issue.

Titanium alloy also become to brittle in deep cryo.

So steel beats everything in this demanding application. Its amazing.
Always go to France with low expectations. Makes for a better experience.
Right, but thinking is just one aspect of our experience of the world.

Skills, in a broader sense expand how and what you experience. Language does this to how we experience communication and expression. Reading in general does this too, but in different ways.

Best way to keep your attention on an audiobook is to simultaneously play a game that offers repetitive tasks and requires no cognitive effort. For instance, mine/build stuff with Minecraft or clean objects with PowerWash Simulator. If the game has any plot or requires any reading or figuring something out, then you quickly lose focus on the book. But quite many games have "grinding" that you can do for a long time for this purpose.

According to Wikipedia [0] it has at least three meanings:

1.) The period 1871-1873 of rapid economic growth in the German empire following the peace treaty that ended the war of 1870. It ended with a stock market crash (aka Gründerkrach).

2.) More generally the period of broad industrialization from 1870 to 1914.

3.) Somewhat confusingly for architecture it's applied to buildings of the late 1800s through about 1900.

Personally I always understood it as #2 and #3. My in-laws lived for many years in Kassel, which has a lot of houses from that era in the upper part of town around Wilhelmshöhe.
