He's an exec. He doesn't really need those things.

He just needs to be smart enough to attract creative artists and gamble a little. He needs to know how to invest capital.

Consider Zappa's take on out-of-touch music execs in the 60s who somehow presided over and profited from (and probably nurtured, really) a creative counterculture movement.

From what I've found online about IGRs they mimic hormones that control parts of the insect's life cycle. They might, say, cause something to happen earlier or later than it naturally should have occurred. There are many things in an insect's life cycle that have to occur at the right time for the insect to reach adulthood and reproduce. Screwing up the timing doesn't kill the young insect, but if it makes it so it will never reproduce. Keep doing that to the insects in a place for a few generations and they die out.

Most of us probably do not want to do this, but cockroaches are in fact edible by humans. If IGRs mimic cockroach hormones, then eating a small amount of cockroach IGRs should not be any worse than eating some cockroaches.

AWS initially participated but was finalizing the Event Bridge format specification at a time when CloudEvents was not ready to go 1.0.

Modern wars are industrial wars. The winner is the the country with the bigger manufacturing capacity and the bigger population of military-age men.

That was true of the US in 1942 against the weaker and smaller countries of Japan and Germany.

In today's world, China is the country with the bigger population of military-age men and the bigger manufacturing capacity, not the US.

Just good old arithmetic.
None of the commercially available (Western) reactor designs today are fast load followers, so you are dependent on having gas or hydro when you project for new nuclear power plants. That's one part of the reason why this stuff is politically charged.

From what I understand it's not a theoretical constraint, but mostly a lack of enough commercial interest for any other design. But it is what it is.

Something I just realized is that the reason why huge stations have multiple platforms is because there are so many people using the station they had to add multiple platforms to accommodate more subway trains to manage the crowd. But again, as a foreigner, I had much easier time using subways in Korea.
It's possible that I misremembered 0.4% as 4%. As I said, it was long time ago.
AP1000 has a water tank above the reactor, and can cool itself for 72 hours without electrical power or human action. This design probably would've prevented the Fukushima meltdowns.

Ideally, reactors should be designed to transition all the way to air cooling without any help. The high temperature designs (e.g. TRISO and molten salt) should be able to do this, if we ever build them.

After Fukushima, the FLEX program was created to protect existing US reactors from a similar scenario: https://inis.iaea.org/collection/NCLCollectionStore/_Public/...

Listing security as a premium feature, and "business use" not having pricing instead requiring a sales call are good ways to stop me from using any app.

Even if it's not true, I feel like I'm going to be nickel+dimed or hit with mysterious and surprising fees.

As someone who creates software, I want to comply with the licensing out of principle and respect/admiration for creators. It shouldn't be so difficult to understand what it would cost me.

Opaque pricing is an immediate "no thanks" for me. I honestly don't care how good an app is; if it's not easy to buy, I'm not going to buy it.

Empty strings, lists and the number 0 are all truthy in Lua so this isn't an issue.

Different languages have different semantics. Yes, using the or operator like that is not a good idea in many languages but in Lua it is idiomatic.
If I've read the rest of the documentation correctly, the exploit is actually triggered from an attached ".watchface" file, which of course, has the font vulnerability in it.

This part struck most true for me. When my day begins with meetings that last until midday, I become exhausted, and have nothing left in me to do actual work. I started blocking off my calendar with false meetings to help combat the PM urge to loop me into anything where I "might" be needed.
Quite the hill to die on. But hear me on this: why doesnt openai allow training using its data? Or why doesnt microsoft train against windows’ source code (not that it would be of quality)? Or why can’t we just copy whatever movie and music we want through whatever protocol we want? Is it because your bosses know that copying without approval is theft?
This looks a lot more convincing to me than the Copilot lawsuit or the Sarah Silverman one. This suit shows ChatGPT reciting large amounts of NYT articles - not just little snippets of code or the ability to answer questions about Silverman's book.

It feels like even if training on copyrighted data is fair use (and I think it should be), that wouldn't give you a pass on regurgitating that training data to anyone who asks.

Some more information about the hosting would be useful. Is it being served from your residential IP or a cloud provider IP? How long have controlled this IP address for?
I agree that current copyright terms are too long, but for your causality argument to hold water, the bulk of piracy would have to occur for works older than 17 years (the initial copyright term), and I very much doubt that this is the case.
Not sure I would go that far. APIs need to be able to be deprecated as better forms are identified. That being said, the churn had better be worth it. This datetime change does not qualify, and feels like it is going to cause more immediate pain than it solves.
AWS employs ~60k people for sales and marketing and has an operating margin of ~30%. There is room for margin compression.

> Except that, in basically every other developed nation, healthcare is _more_ regulated, if not nationalized, and has better performance for substantially lower cost.

The various provincial public health care systems in Canada are generally seen as having atrocious performance, despite consuming massive amounts of taxpayer resources each year.

Keep in mind that many Canadians also have costly private insurance to help pay for the numerous common exams, procedures, treatments, prescriptions, etc., that aren't covered by the public systems.

For Canadians with the means to do so, it's quite common for them to seek medical treatment in the US, even if doing so is financially costly.

Going to the US is often the only practical way for Canadians to receive health care services in a timely and effective manner.

The US is one of the 22 signatories of the COP28 pledge to triple nuclear capacity by 2050.

With the failure of Germany's Energiewende, countries have drastically re-evaluated their nuclear stances.

France just did an about-face and cancelled their plans to drastically reduce nuclear capacity or even get out of nuclear entirely. Instead they are now investing into a nuclear renaissance.

Poland is getting into nuclear power big time, they are buying reactors from South Korea (and possibly also the US).

The Finnish Green Party has recently come out to endorse nuclear power.

Japan, who was also getting out of nuclear power after Fukushima has also made an about face and is now going to reactivate more plants and even build new ones.

etc.

Have you considered that it's a choice between the two?

The script that goes full ESG is not the same script that is actually good.
Hmm what to do with the torque from the windmill though. Perhaps it could have counter rotating propellers to cancel it out. Otherwise it would entangle itself in the anchoring cable.

Also, a failure scenario would mean tonnes of windmill crashing down from high altitude. Hmmmmm

I would say that nearly every Pluto feature not marked as special on the https://pluto-lang.org/docs/Compatibility page would be a fine addition to mainline Lua. These are small quality-of-life improvements, battle-tested in other languages, with nearly zero new conceptual load.

Compiler message improvements would be great to port, too.

I see Pluto as a research project of sorts, trying new things. Trying incompatible and controversial things in such a project is the point.
while that's not exactly unique, it is something specific to QR codes. the longer the URL, the more complex the QR code will be. the more complex, the larger the block will need to be to ensure "scanability". most of the online free QR code generators I've seen have all recommended using a shortner. now, maybe they are trying to do that to collect all of the metrics they can by recommending a service that offer or get kickbacks from the shortening service.

The A-35 (a highway in Quebec) has been under construction since 1966. When finished, it will be 34 miles/55 km long.

Two decades isn't very long for an infrastructure project, which is unfortunate since long-term planning benefits greatly from political stability, and many areas are seeing large shifts for the worse in that regard.
I verified verilog using the Vera language back in the day. The largest test benches would take 5s to compile to interpreted bytecode. Verification engineers rarely change the design, so keeping that part compiled is great for productivity. It’s really too bad that monolithic compilation is so dang slow.
I think you might have replied to my comment before reading past the first 10 words.
Because modern urban design and car culture keeps people isolated in their boxes.
I don't understand your point.

Chisel, SpinalHDL, Clash, Migen, Amaranth, and RTL variants generate synthesizable RTL Verilog in the end. From that point of view, they are compatible with any existing ASIC flow.

The only problematic aspect is that most companies use line and conditional coverage as one of their sign-off criteria. That's hard to do with automatically generated Verilog.

But here's the kicker: HLS-generated Verilog is orders of magnitude worse in terms of readability, and yet most recent ASICs with video codecs are design with HLS and derived from HLS reference implementations. And forget about doing traditional coverage metrics just on that RTL just the same.

If HLS-generated Verilog is fine for an ASIC flow, then alternatives like Chisel and friends are much less problematic.

False dichotomy.

The people who will be screaming about covering the desert with solar panels are exactly the same people who scream about covering the land with car parks.

Exactly.

The only energy source radical environmentalists like is one that exists only in a fantasy. As soon as it starts being built, it becomes evil.

Note that they're already up in arms about windmills killing birds.

Also, covering the desert is definitely going to change the local environment. At a minimum, every joule that goes into the power transmission lines is a joule that will not be available for use by the desert ecosystem.
Is that "the chalk"? When I lived in NYC that was legendary -- you could watch a roach touch it and almost immediately fall over dead.

The only thing that worked for me was sealing up holes, and that wasn't 100%. I tried the genetic-warfare gel that others here are talking about, and it didn't seem to work -- it could've been working, but being in a 6-floor walk-up meant there were probably millions of roaches to take the place of the dead ones.

The other thing I noticed is that whether you have roaches in NYC is a complete crapshoot -- I lived directly above a bar/restaurant and had zero bugs of any kind, and I lived with no bar/restaurant in sight and had a roach problem. Go figure.

Putting a LLM to allucinate away your nuclear safety paperwork doesn't look like a very sound practice.

Same. At this point I can’t tell if massive weed consumption causes this jelly brain or if it’s the other way around.
Moreso, solar and wind are too predictable. How Big Things Get Done ranks them up with road construction as top projects that barely go over budget. If you expect to spend $100 million on solar or wind, then it’s probably going to cost <$110 million. Meanwhile other projects could go 2, 3, 7x over budget, time or money or both.

Someone who builds a solar array will be able to go directly to build another, not have to lick their wounds and repair their reputation or business.
Ammonia also requires hydrogen as an input. Ammonia is essentially a storage mechanism for hydrogen, eliminating the need for cryogenic or compressed storage. Basically, you need to find a carbon-neutral alternative to the Haber process [1] to produce ammonia as fuel.

How so? You need to quantify it; e.g., something like number of bugs found per year per LOC.

Thank you, I should have been more specific. I guess what I’m asking is, how deterministic would you say it is in your experience? Can this be used for classifying purposes where the values should not be outside what’s given in a variable input prompt , or when we say deterministic are we saying that , if given the same prompt then the output would be the exact same only? Or is the seed a starting parameter that effectively corners the LLM to a specific starting point only then depending on the variable prompts, potentially give non-deterministic answers?

Perhaps I’m misunderstanding how the seed is used in this context. If you have any examples of how you use it in real world context then that would be appreciated.

>"or more square kilometers of land [...]"

Technically you need to factor in the fact that a nuclear plant can be built relatively near the places where its power will be consumed; some mass of solar power in Nevada is highly inefficient for powering New York or Virginia, even if you built HVDC lines to cut down on total line losses, so you'll need to pick land tracts reasonably near battery banks that would in turn be near cities.
