I mean, most of your arguments could be applied equally against credit/debit cards. It's "one thing you have" that unlocks access to your money.

And yet most people don't go around with chequebooks or wads of cash
It is interesting how that 'single exception in 2003' really erodes trust in the whole thing. It's very hard to come back from that.
Can someone help me with a suggestion?

Ive been researching databases now for several days straight, the choices are overwhelming but I've pretty much narrowed my use case down to an RDBMS system.

I need to essentially handle 100's of millions of "leads" (and 10s of millions per day) which can make up any number of user fields. over 1B total

I need to resolve duplicate leads either in realtime or near realtime. A duplication can occur across a combination of 1 or more fields, so basically OLTP type operations (select, update, delete on single rows)

I do need to run large OLAP queries as well across all data

I've looked at things like scylla and whatnot but they seem too heavy duty for my volume. it's not like i need to store trillions of messages like discord in some huge event log.

I was considering these 3 options...

1. planetscale

2. citus

3. cockroachdb

I havent really narrowed it down further than this, but i liked the idea of still having RDBMS features without needing to worry about storage and scaling with just sheer write volume.

It seemed i could then do my basic OLTP stuff that i need, and citus had a cool demo how some OLAP query on 1B rows ran in 20s with 10 nodes, and that also fits a reasonable time for queries (BI tools will be used for that)
The rods are not completely removed. Control rods ravenously gobble up free neutrons. As they're pulled up, more neutrons get to the uranium. You are correct in that fuel at the bottom is used up sooner. As more fuel is used, the rods will have to be pulled up higher than they were before for the same effect. The design takes this into account.

Is the 49TW the total amount of energy the earth radiates from the core?

I'm struggling to reason about this. The core is a hot mass of matter, that's slowly cooling down. There is no energy "produced" here, no? So where does the 49TW go?

Edit: my questions got answered by someone posting a wikipedia link elsewhere: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_energy#Resources

Seems energy is being produced by means of radioactive decay.
This looks like a llama2 finetune, so the dataset (inclusive of llama2) isn't fully open as claimed, and I'd still have to accept the Facebook and possibly OpenAI licenses.

Let alone that clearly the base model was built on non-source-code, so their premise doesn't hold.

Disappointing.
There isn't necessarily cognitive dissonance between "no government can't ever be trusted with encryption backdoors" and "the government could eventually made trustworthy enough to regulate oligpolies".
The system almost certainly doesn't address the primary problem, which is that a small group of people consider a page or topic to be their personal fiefdom and they're experts at snowballing people with the most obscure wikipedia policies.

A shining example of this would be the page for Alcoholics Anonymous, which has a small legion of accounts 'defending' it. The accounts espouse, vocally, a victimhood complex - that AA is targeted by people "harassing" and "discrediting" the program.

The page is brutally censored of any negative information - such as their problems with predation ('thirteenth stepping') and sexual assault, the fact that the program has no basis in science and is repeatedly demonstrated to be amongst the worst options for addiction treatment. The result is a page which is wildly not NPOV - it contains only material positive about the founder, program and organization.

Someone tried to add mention of a documentary and the prick editor claimed the film did not meet notability guidelines because it hadn't been screened in the right kind of film festivals and thus its existence could not be mentioned.

I would state that as an iterative procedure can be recursive or not. There are no recursive processes executed by any extant silicon that aren't iteration with a, potentially optional, stack.

And once you look at procedures that use two stacks, like this[1], then it becomes pretty apparent just how arbitrary the distinction is.

Regardless of control rod use, there is non-uniform burnup. Fuel manufacturers use different enrichment levels in fuel pellets throughout the length of the rod to partially compensate for the non-uniformity.

The majority of PWR fuel assemblies have similar axial-burnup shapes – relatively flat in the axial mid-section (with peak burnup from 1.1 to 1.2 times the assembly average burnup) and significantly under-burned fuel at the ends (with burnup of 50 to 60% of the assembly average). Figure 1 shows a representative PWR axial burnup distribution. As is typical, the burnup is slightly higher at the bottom of the assembly than at the top. This variation is due to a difference in the moderator density. The cooler (higher density) water at the assembly inlet results in higher reactivity (which subsequently results in higher burnup) than the warmer moderator at the assembly outlet.

Quoted from "ORNL/TM-1999/246: Review of Axial Burnup Distribution Considerations for Burnup Credit Calculations"

Ah I see. I thought I remembered reading about that on Twitter (in the context of people criticizing it as false advertising). So basically this Beeper mini is the "proper" implementation of full e2e encryption, while the cloud service was the bridge to get them here?
Séries A is a very early stage and I think you’d get better odds than 7/1 elsewhere.

What do you mean; if a private company creates something, and enough people buy/use it, at some point it becomes a common good? I like the idea of iMessage being open, but I don't like the idea of forcing Apple under government threat to open it

You can be pseudonomous on Wikipedia. Also, some experts are so deep in their field of expertise that they assume others to be knowing something they take for granted. (I am not a Wikipedia editor.)
> This is the attitude of people who send pull requests to open-source projects and complain that they aren't accepted.

To be honest, I’m not sure how you got there from here…

> The work is integrating that code with the rest of the system, ensuring it's compatible with future plans, ensuring that it's scalable and secure, and ensuring that the whole team can understand and maintain it.

I actually suggested deprecating the library. I am not going to presume how hard that is. It might be changing 2 lines of code or 1000. No idea. That’s why we have brains though, we are able to figure these kinds of things out. As far as ensuring it’s compatible with future plans… do you honestly think a “random” maintainer of a library has your best interest at heart? That’s rather unlikely unless the maintainer happens to work for the company in question. In this particular case, it looks like someone volunteered to be that maintainer (probably due to naivety, but that’s beside the point) and they actually do have your future interests at heart.

So to say that an employee doesn’t do work aligning with their company’s goals means you have bigger (political) problems than code review problems, hence why I said they should never have started working on it in the first place. For them to work on something like this for someone to review and professionally say “wtf” is a red flag, far and beyond code reviews; which is interestingly another reason why it is waaay too late to be having these conversations in a PR. It’s a smell that something in the team is fundamentally broken.
For context the only things nostr have in common with Bitcoin is using secp256k1 for identity. It has been cooked mainly by bitcoiners but AFAIK part of the driving force was specifically to avoid the "everything is a blockchain with a native token" situation.

Naturally you will find lots of bitcoin people using and developing clients (hence the Lightning integration on most clients) but apparently it has been picking the interest of other groups. There seems to be a thriving Japanese community.

>I'm not even sure if it's a good exercise in programming either. Software development is about doing the things the right way, not exercising in futility.

Reverse engineering is a valuable art that can't be learned just from a canonical reference for "the right way". It cultivates the same skills used in debugging.
Strange, I was just reflecting this morning how grateful I am that FK constraints are respected. I got a FK constraint violation and without it I would have introduced a bug in my app. Specifically deleting X was doing to delete many child Ys.

If there are any downstream queries that assume the relationship between X and Y, and you accidentally violated that contract, wouldn't you WANT the database to tell you? Without a FK constraint in place, I would just have to know that I needed to update hundreds of lines of (incidentally) dependent code!

It's roughly analagous to the static vs dynamic typing debate. Do you want to discover FK violations at runtime in the future? Or head them off at insert time? Either way, you cannot sweep referential integrity under the rug... you only shift the burden from one place to another.

So I thank my database daily for it's work enforcing FK constraints. Otherwise I'd have to write that code! You can't ignore the lifecycle of references.

I'd believe this if it wasn't for the thousands upon thousands of pages about the most absurdly obscure Star Trek and Star Wars shit.

The bedroom is not the business of the state. What people do in the privacy of their own homes is their business. Gatekeeping sex behind age is also stupid, because all of us were once teenagers and remember the things we felt and did.

It would do our societies far more good to deliver proper, candid, and realistic sex education for our youth AND adults. I'm talking beyond just the mechanics of sex, too. Infectious disease theory is necessary. Discussion of consent, kinks, personal boundaries, they are ALL necessary, and it doesn't happen.

We can go further and offer lectures/seminars for habitual porn use, or maybe groups for people to discuss their relationship with sex and their desire to make it healthier.

Invading people's privacy is not going to make people want sex less. Libido isn't something we should be shaming or isolating. It's an instinct and an emotion, and it can be handled like one.

As usual, the UK can't seem to get its head out of its ass regarding its social conventions. How much does the average UKer know about healthy sex anyway? Probably close to us on the other side of the pond in America with the inherited Victorian repression.
> In this case they're arguably scamming the government out of money, but that can hardly be compared to the crime knowingly aiding a known adversary.

If you're crippling infrastructure then you are inherently then you're most certainly aiding adversaries. You cannot fight an adversary if you cannot get goods moved.

If you're scamming the government out of money then you are inherently aiding adversaries. You cannot fight an adversary if you are penniless.

It sounds very comparable to me.

Yes, and when it's enabled it has more privileges than most other apps, doesn't it? But yeah you can still remove the app.

Btw, maybe related, on iOS I have "app privacy report" enabled, to show me a list of apps and the recent entitlements they used. Every Apple app, even those that don't need access to them, is shown as having recently accessed my Contacts. I find this weird. Anyone know why they do that? e.g. I've never even used the Health app and yet it's accessing my Contacts for some reason.
They're pretty good but when it comes to things like color, that can vary from panel to panel so you might actually end up with something worse. That said, I'd start there and if there's any question about the result you should just buy or rent a calibration tool.

At that point, you should ask yourself what is the function of news? The whole of information is editorial. Aside from technical information which is factual, even discussing 'kinds of' news is biased.

You could maybe aggregate biased news like "trump supporter did this" or "patriot did that" and it would just tell you "someone was shot in a place you never heard of".

The extreme inclusionist position (and I've got a straw man there) ends up with sites that are full of outdated information that few people want to maintain.

Even if we say "ok, the cost of the page on some random middle school is 1 minute / year" then as it grows to that 13,000 schools - that's 220 hours. Five and a half weeks of checking each page once a year for 1 minute with a 40 hour week.

And looking, I'm slightly off on the number of schools.

> During the 2020-2021 school year, there were 13,187 public school districts. These school districts enrolled 47,755,349 students across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. ( https://ballotpedia.org/Public_school_district_(United_State... )

Many school districts have multiple schools (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dallas_Independent_Sch... )

How much time are you willing to spend maintaining individual pages as opposed to a page that lists all the schools and a little bit about each one. The list page takes a similar amount of time to maintain than each page as an individual one.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madison_Metropolitan_School_Di... as another example. Pages for high schools? They tend to have sufficient information about them (though the high school that I went to doesn't have a page). Multiply that number by two for the middle schools and by twice again for the elementary schools... and it gets to the difficult to maintain realm.

Another example of a school district and note the lack of middle school distinct pages - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palo_Alto_Unified_School_Distr...

Rods are always in the core. To start a reactor that is shut down (with the rods are all the way on the bottom), you withdraw them slowly until the reactor is self-sustaining. From there, you increase power by increasing steam demand (as described in the parent comment above) and continue raising rods to increase or maintain temperature.

When the reactor is operating at power, the control rods are used primarily to 1) control steady state coolant temperature and 2) provide a safe and reliable way to shut the reactor down quickly (by dropping them to the bottom of the core -- this is called a reactor scram). If you have a short-duration power transient for any reason, you can "shim" the rods in to prevent a power spike that might cause a protective action to occur (you shouldn't really ever have to do this except for during emergency drills).

If the rods were drawn outside of the fuel region at power, they wouldn't be able to absorb any neutrons and wouldn't give you any way to control temperature or power. During some specific maintenance when the reactor is shut down, you sometimes might pull one rod further out for testing.

Your question on uneven burning of fuel is insightful. That can happen, and it's caused by an uneven neutron flux (# of neutrons traveling through a unit surface area per unit time) distribution. The core designers take rod positioning into account when determining how to distribute fuel throughout the core in order to maintain a "flat" flux profile.
Wikipedia was one of the crowning achievements of the internet before said culture took over, and significantly such culture formed as a sort of symbiote and parasite to it's success.

What made Wikipedia successful was that it was free in a time that people were more used to paying for that kind of information, and that it was open in the sense that anyone could contribute when many places were significantly gatekept.

It has now evolved it's own form of said gatekeeping, not because such is necessary for Wikipedia to be successful, but to harvest the residual success of that open system for the benefit of the parasites.
The lack of prior offense or criminal behavior. I think the only think we was ever convicted for was ridding a train without paying or something.

Also the prosecutor said :

Nevertheless, this type of ‘daredevil’ conduct cannot be tolerated.”

One question I had after reading this, what’s the significance of the 8+ years when it comes to LPR? Like, afaik the only difference I am aware of is that being roughly 4-5 years into LPR you are usually able to apply for citizenship (exceptions apply, e.g., you can apply a bit sooner if you did it through a marriage visa or did the expedited process through the US military service).

Fully agreed with you on everything you said about citizenship and how sticky its tax obligations are.

It seems to me that excursions into various websites has increased this past year. Every day or so someone else reveals that they have been compromised, and these are usually only higher profile sites. One has to wonder what might be the total number of sites that are compromised on any given day.
I remember it depending on the article. There are "turfs", and the rules aren't consistent between them. Some guy goes nuts on the movies and television articles and nobody can get anything through, it gets reverted with a "this is not necessary".

On science and engineering pages I remember there being a lot of unsourced material that felt more like a school paper than an encyclopedia. The quality was really bad, but it was still hard to change.
