Your incentives are not everyone else's incentives.

If someone chooses to dedicate their life to a particular domain - they sacrifice through hard work, they make hard-earned breakthroughs, then they get to dictate how their work will be utilized.

Sure, you can give it away. Your choice. Be anonymous. Your choice.

But you don't get to decide for them.

And their work certainly doesn't deserve to be stolen by an inhumane, non-acknowledging machine.

pre MS-DOS, there was a piece of humorous, very low resolution pr0n, ANSI/ASCII video art that was distributed on DECUS tapes. (Digital Equipment Computer Users' Society) It was contained in a file named JACK.OFF, nudge nudge wink wink say-no-more.

I've been searching for a copy of this for a long long time but I can't find it in any of the DECUS archives I've found. Anybody have it?

it's tuned for about 2400 baud, iirc. The DEC users society was a pre-internet sort of open source, data tapes with a ton of useful tools, utilities, source, tons of useful stuff.
I built something like this. Luckily my monitor has an IR remote control, which allowed me to record and replay control codes to switch inputs. I used a USB hub that also had an IR remote control for my keyboard/mouse, and I used a teensy with an IR LED to send codes to both the USB switch and monitor. I used an IR repeater/extender to route the IR signal from underneath my desk where the teensy/usb switch are to the back of my monitor where it can reach the monitor’s IR receiver. I also made a little NodeJS app that shares my clipboard between my computers. Although the whole setup is pretty hacky, it works surprisingly well.

> One kilogram of uranium-235 (50 cm^3) can theoretically produce about 20 terajoules of energy. One square kilometer of solar panels can theoretically produce the same amount (as 50cm^3 U235) in a day.

Does the US have more 50cm^3 sized blocks of U235, or more square kilometers of land with low land values and high annual insolation?

There's an estimated 6 million tonnes of mineable uranium reserves in the world [0]. Of which 0.72% is U-235, so we have a worldwide reserve of 43200 tonnes, or 43.2 million Kg U-235.

Arizona is about 300k square kilometers. If we covered an area 10% the size of Arizona in solar panels, then they would have produced more energy than all the world's known U-235 in just four years. And would continue producing after those four years are up.

Why do you think this? The entirety of Wikipedia is invisibly credited unless you go into the edit history. Most open source projects have pseudonymous contributors. People have written and will continue to write with or without credit.

Credit in academia is more the exception to the rule, and it's that cutthroat industry that needs a better, more cooperative system.
There's typically a range of operation, so you can adjust a hundred MW but you can't drop to 0 or spin up from standstill without a time consuming process.

Edit: also, the economics are such that you rarely want to drop load from a nuclear plant unless it's offline or for system reasons. The fuel cost is negligible so you'd rather turn off your gas plant or lower the coal plant and save on those fuels.
Undomesticated precursors of grain crops are literally no better than foraging. The domestication of grain crops is probably a necessary precondition to our type of civilization. And, more importantly, we don't see hominid densities — especially with widespread, state-level populations — until the post grain domestication events.

That doesn't mean large scale hominid concentrations couldn't exist without domesticated grains (there's at least a few grainfree riverine cities), but they are exceptional.

Not at all feasible with solar throughout much of Europe. Of course wind is a much better option there.
That wasn't your claim. You said it stops being cheap - does it? Compared to alternatives?
You don't need to 'ride out winter'; there's a sweet spot around 100-hour storage where you can unlock a huge amount of grid resiliency and decarbonization (you can keep as many dispatchable gas plants sitting nearly-always-idle to address risk of any freak long-tail events.)

"the people saying solar and battery only future"

I think I never, ever heard or read anyone saying this, and I think I follow/participate in the debates, before it was cool and everywhere.

Renewable people rather sound like this:

"Employing a variety of power generation methods will give you the most stable power grid."

Where of course quite many "green" people don't want nuclear at all in the mix. Rather more of long distance energy transport (HVDC). And otherwise any option that works and does not pollute, or pollutes less.

(And personally I am not antinuclear as long as the alternative are fossil fuels, so they should be used as a transition technology and long term rather reserved for other application, like powering things in space and remote important sites)

While I'm not against security and 2FA in general, making PyPI 2FA mandatory ahead of any kind of org support is a major pain for big projects with more than one maintainer. This week I was forced to link my company's pypi account to a personal device to unblock our latest release and now none of the dozen other maintainers I work with can get access. Things will get spicy if someone in my position were to die, leave the company on bad terms, etc and a big project can no longer be managed.

PyPI announced orgs back in April, but it seems they still haven't figured out the details on pricing, etc. No telling when those will roll out, but I sure hope it's soon. I'm cynical, but the sequencing of work here very much feels like somebody at Google (or wherever) wanted to push a big open source security project to advance their personal promo case rather than thinking through the needs of serious project maintainers.
There’s apps that just scan the qr code into a text field no matter what its content is, then you can inspect the URL manually.

Unfortunately there’s a deeper problem in this security model, in that only a tiny tiny fraction of the web’s userbase knows how to assess a URL, and even experts can easily struggle

Of course you can. Use an application that allows it.
Whether wealth or creditor law, if you have nothing to lose, that is what is incentivized. This is a policy problem, you won’t fix the human. This policy is likely to not change in any material way (US centric). Liability limits are engrained in the US, and the lability calculus is what drives behavior and responsibility.
> Unfortunately, you don't know where the QR code leads you before you scan it and then it is already too late.

iOS shows the domain if it is a URL and you have to tap it. It's no different from tapping on a link on a website, which I would say is more insecure since you don't even get the domain info before tapping.
Did you mean "passlib", the third-party module they link to? The built-in "hashlib" doesn't generate any warnings for me on Python 3.11 and is presumably maintained as part of Python.

Anyway, the PEP mentions that "crypt" is not secure, not thread-safe, not cross-platform and not useful for modifying the system password database... so it sounds like you really shouldn't use it for much of anything. What's your usecase?
I find it hard to imagine solar could ever be cheaper than nuclear during winter in Northern Europe.
For anyone interested in this area, I would highly recommend following the work of Iodine Global Network (and donating if possible).

They work with politicians and industry in a very targetted way to increase the use of iodised salt in food production where it is most needed in the world. They don't directly fund any of the activities, but create the relationships, conditions and understanding for it to happen - meaning they are an extremely effective charity, creating population scale change with very modest funding.

They also do lots of work to try to map the global picture of iodine intake from the very varied data available. Some of the results might surprise you - https://ign.org/scorecard/
Most of those are open source, and while initially developed at a private company, most are run by non-profits (such as the Rust Foundation for Rust). Also, the language itself is not usually the main product at those companies.

"Machinery" (not including airplanes) is still one of the largest exports of the US. The list [1] of exports by size is:

Mineral fuels including oil: US$378.6 billion

Machinery including computers: $229.6 billion

Electrical machinery, equipment: $197.7 billion

Vehicles: $134.9 billion

Aircraft, spacecraft: $102.8 billion

Optical, technical, medical apparatus: $99.1 billion

Gems, precious metals: $92.5 billion

Pharmaceuticals: $83.5 billion

So the top 3 "non-aircraft" machinery categories are still exported at 5x the amount of aerospace. It seems like people [2] are still interested in the stuff the US manufactures.

The only thing that has saved Netflix, kinda, so far is that they left the "current" plan alone (though they still throw in their "occasional" small price hikes) and added a new tier with ads. Which they didn't try hard at all to get anyone to switch to.

This other direction, of "oh, that was nice, we're taking it, and you can pay more to have it back" has a different psychological feel to it. Amazon seems to think that it'll go over fine; time will tell.
Shibuya station atleast vaguely makes sense, even after all the construction.

I firmly believe that the only people who can truly navigate Shinjuku station, are people who work there and people who live there. Seems like no matter what, Google maps/Yahoo will tell you exit via b14 and every exit sign will helpfully guide you to North East, East, and all the exits a1 through a10.

It's always easier to exit the station and then figure out your final destination, which can still be annoyingly hard.

Wow nice deal! I wish I could keep a car for 10 years. I have had some cars that are pretty old, like my 2001 Ranger, but either major mechanical failure or crashes have taken them all from me within less than a decade of ownership.

Depends on the latitude and weather patterns. For instance you might need 25 (or much more) higher capacity to generate as much power in December as you would in May in most of Northern Europe (that should be pretty obvious though).
Pumped hydro used to exist here in Sweden during the 1970s. They were phased out because they are not cost competitive. They built nuclear power plants instead because those were cost competitive at that time.

It would be funny if the cost has switched between pumped hydro and nuclear, but I suspect they haven't. What really pushed out both were cheap natural gas and oil. Even now, new gas powered plants are being planned to be built within the next 5 years. I don't see a solutions to this without new regulation putting a clamp on the fossil fuels.

The one hope I have for pumped hydro is that our current hydropower fleet are outdated and far outside of minimum environmental standards. Combined they have managed to drive species to the brink of extinction, basically being large meat grinders for migrating fish. The solution of catching the offspring and fly them to Sweden to be implanted back into lakes is a terrible solution that have little to no scientific support. With the required investments into modernization, reverse hydro might not be too expensive to include, assuming again that the economics of the concept start to make sense.
> Seems to me the people saying solar and battery only future do not live in areas that can be cloudy for multiple weeks.

This isn't a big problem. Wind is negatively correlated with solar, and electricity can be sent across long distances (intra- or inter-country) with minimal loss, and overbuilding eliminates a lot of the variability issues. Variability across geographies and across modes cancels out.

Nuclear is pretty good, but solar and wind is simply better. Way cheaper and quicker to implement, less resistance from NIMBYs who have an irrational fear of leaks, less valid concerns of enabling nuclear weapons proliferation, less technical know-how requirement. It's the most brain-dead obvious calculus if you know the actual facts, costs and trade-offs.

And time is of the essence. Eliminating 80-90% of emissions in 4 years (with only solar and wind and without batteries, yes this is possible whilst being cheaper than nuclear) means less emissions than eliminating 100% of emissions in 20 years with nuclear.
From the linked article, we get how much power it generates 1,114 MW (or 1.114 Gigawatts), how long it took to build that reactor (started in 2009, so 14 years), and how much it cost (planned $14 billion, final $30 billion):

> The new 1,114 megawatt (MW) Unit 3 reactor

> Construction at the two new reactor sites began in 2009. Originally expected to cost $14 billion and begin commercial operation in 2016 (Vogtle 3) and 2017 (Vogtle 4), the project ran into significant construction delays and cost overruns. The total cost of the project is now estimated at more than $30 billion.

Meanwhile:

"Utility-scale solar capacity in the U.S. electric power sector increased from 61 gigawatts (GW) in 2021 to 71 GW in 2022, according to data from our Electricity Power Monthly. Wind capacity grew from 133 GW in 2021 to 141 GW in 2022."[1]

So solar increased 10 Gigawatts last year and wind grew 8 Gigawatts. About 18x that one nuclear reactor we've managed to complete since 2016. In a single year.

Also wind and solar is cheaper than the cost of nuclear energy now:

"Nuclear energy is generally more expensive than wind and solar energy. The IEA report estimates the cost of electricity from new nuclear plants to be between $60 and $70 per MWh (megawatt-hour), while the cost of electricity from onshore wind and solar PV is estimated to be between $30 and $60 per MWh."[2]

So wind and solar is faster and cheaper. The only main benefit is a nuclear plant can still keep generating power in inclement weather (which is still important, but doesn't make it cheaper or faster than wind and solar).

Depends on the quality of the AGI. If it’s legitimately as good or better than humans at almost everything, while being cost effective, it will utterly and completely change society. Humans will be obsolete at almost every job - why pay a human if an AGI can do it as good or better, for free(-ish)? Best case scenario, the AGI is benevolent, traditional work is gone, but we find some post-capitalism system, and new ways to keep life interesting/meaningful. Worst case scenario, pure sci-fi dystopia.

If it’s closer to a midpoint between GPT-4 and true human intelligence, then sure, I agree with you, it’s a significant change to society but not an overhaul. But if it’s actually a human level (or better) general intelligence, it’ll be the biggest change to human society maybe ever.

I feel like 3d visualisations are under utilised in general, for wayfinding, for organising stuff or files, revealing flows like here.

ANSI.SYS was a subset of maybe the most advanced terminals, but it was more or less complete in terms of cursor positioning and character attributes so you could implement a (unix)curses style spreadsheet or something, but it would be much slower and less capable than capturing the keyboard and shoving characters directly into screen memory so there was not much software written to use ANSI via CON: (standard in/out).

The bigger problem was that very few users would have had ANSI.SYS loaded and that's out of the already small pool of users who knew that device driver could be loaded (in a hidden system file, CONFIG.SYS) or what garbled escape sequences would look like. Memory was precious, ANSI.SYS used some. In a certain sense, writing directly to screen memory was much more portable.

my brain is itching now, there was something missing from ANSI.SYS... can't quite remember, maybe it couldn't remember a cursor position and jump back to it--it couldn't read the cursor position... it's hazy, something like, as a result, to use it you had to clear the screen of what had been up before and use it in full screen mode with some redraws every now and then
> But it seems to me that, if anything, machines should be held to higher standard than people.

If machines achieve sentience, does this still hold? Like, we have to license material for our sentient AI to learn from? They can't just watch a movie or read a book like a normal human could without having the ability to more easily have that material influence new derived works (unlike say Eragon, which is shamelessly Star Wars/Harry Potter/LOTR with dragons).

It will be fun to trip through these questions over the next 20 years.
Great problem to have.

Probably the key players that contributed to key decisions made 10x the middle managers and that's what drove them to success. I'm also inclined to think those people are already busy on the next big thing (in nvidia or somewhere else)

It sucks to see middle managers who contributed little being rewarded but that's almost inevitable in a large company.

Maybe the next nvidia will learn the lesson and allocate more stocks to key players and less to drone employees - and maybe just have less middle managers all together.
