Just because you don’t have a solution that doesn’t disqualify you from pointing out the problem. I can tell you that the Titanic is sinking without knowing how to get the passengers to safety. In fact the only people that have a solution are on the Californian, with their radio off, so they don’t know there is a problem (which the radio operators of the Titanic are desperately trying to communicate to them).

I think you may be a bit quick to dismiss the very real human tragedy which is being imposed onto Palestinians at this moment, and for the last 75 years. They are occupied, and being ethnically cleansed from their indigenous lands. I may not have a solution for how to stop that, but perhaps someone in the Israeli government does, or even in the USA government. But just like the radio operators on the Californians, they are unwilling to turn their radio on.

I also think it is a bit unfair of you to cite a theoretical genocide of Israelis while there is potentially a very real genocide (or at the very least a very real ethnic cleansing campaign) of Palestinians. One group of people is already suffering, perhaps we should priorities that over the theoretical one. The Titanic is sinking, lets worry about the passengers now and the theoretical drop in the White Star Line’s stock price tomorrow.

Finally I’m unconvinced by your narrative that Israel and Palestine should be viewed separately for a fair judgement of colonialism and apartheid. This is the exact same excuse South Africa used to try to get away with apartheid (see Bantustan). But also, notably, this is not how the Israeli government them selves views it, many of whom claim an Israel from the river to the sea, that is they see the occupied territories (including East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights) as an integral part of Israel, while Palestinians remain unrecognized (effectively stateless). In the eyes of the Israeli government, Palestine is not even a bantustan.
Point taken. I guess avoiding his martyrdom is the idea. It all seems as though the emperor has no clothes, since there is such little effort to mask what is going on and why — and what the possible outcomes for him are.
Not sure i would say a slime mold has reason and intelligence .. Or if i would then so does a river. Also i think that how it changes its proteins could be considered a language, without stretching the definition of language any more than we have already stretched the definition of reason and intelligence.
When I first read the blog post announcing this project, I got really excited, but unfortunately supporting Windows is not important to the author (correct me if I’m wrong?) and I am mainly interested in projects that are portable between at least windows and Linux, so it isn’t really an option for me.
Has the NYT made even a single content creator wealthy? Journalists there make less money than an average software engineer.
Per the article, it's targeted to the synthetic dye. The dye is already in common use to target cancer cells for imaging. So yes.

They've also cured some mice with it already, so it has to be reasonably well targeted...
I use this and it generally works fine: https://a.co/d/5vDBGMM . I had issues with getting full framerate and resolution until I tried a few different cables. The only issues I have are that sometimes the monitor will get all glitchy on one computer. Turning it off and on sometimes helps, restarting the computer sometimes help, and other times it just doesn’t work one day and works fine the next. Overall though I’ve only had the issue where it’s glitchy and I distorts the screen and I couldn’t fix it for that one day it happened ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It hasn’t been enough of an issue to mess with it more or try a different one
Any good sources?
The uranium can produce power when it's dark outside, unlike the solar panels. I wouldn't bet against clean energy that can produce on demand. We'll always need it from somewhere.
Same source as you (Lovering 2016), the Koreans built several 1 GW plants for an overnight cost of 2 Billion USD per plant or less in many cases. A seriously impressive feat. The graph seems to show a far greater cost decline than 13%.

https://i.imgur.com/J90HtWm.png

The Koreans just recently ousted an administration that was overtly hostile to nuclear energy and had declared a phase out. Now they are planning on increasing the share of nuclear electricity to 35%. https://www.world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/South-Korea-incr...
Another solution is to make a file called "my_patches.py":

import datetime

class my_datetime(datetime.datetime):
@staticmethod
def utcnow():
return datetime.datetime.now(tz=datetime.timezone.utc).replace(tzinfo=None)

datetime.datetime = my_datetime

And then in your codebase make sure you import my_patches whenever you use datetime. E.g.:

import my_patches
import datetime

print(datetime.datetime.utcnow())
Yeah, of course. If you take the first answer to the GP, that is a bit outdated, it's as expensive as 1/4 of the nuclear costs.
You can’t individually address every pixel, you have to use tiles. So unless you’re using a mapper chip that could swap them out on a per scan line basis you have much stricter limits.
I didn't need a livable wage as a teenager. It was a way to get extra spending cash/job experience. Granted, wages definitely haven't kept up, so I agree in part.

It's sad that people need these menial jobs--which will probably be automated at some point--to survive, instead of being able to pursue something more meaningful.
Your same source has information on the relative proportion of generation [1]. Nuclear is at about 26.5%, while coal is about half that

Fair question; inflation-adjusted ballpark number that I pulled out of my butt because I'm not about to go look up hard numbers. But, yes, twelve years later the replacement battery was higher than, say, a few years after we bought ours (2011). Whether the price paced with inflation, I cannot say.

Additionally, as another commenter points out, one might choose to go to a Nissan dealership for this replacement. Except, much like that other commenter, Nissan dealers are why we bought a Hyundai when we went to go get another electric car. Because we loved the Leaf, but Nissan dealerships still have everything you "love" about dealing with dealerships.
You both raise good points. Yes solar is getting cheaper but economical and environmentally friendly long term storage (order of several days or even a month worth of energy for a hundred million people) is far from a solved problem.

> In sunny California solar has as capacity factor of around 25%. In Germany, which is prone to many cloudy days this drops to around 10%. So yes cloudy days have an impact but do not entirely eliminate solar from contention and certainly don't require enough battery capacity to last all winter.

In Croatia yearly capacity factor is around 15%, but the problem is it varies wildly throughout the year. In summer we get up to 300 hours of sunlight per month, in winter less than 50. So yes, on paper the capacity might be enough, but one needs to have the ability to store the massive amount of energy inter-seasonally.
Cost of solar in isolation is meaningless. You need to factor in the cost of dealing with its intermittency, i.e. no power at night, variable power during daylight.
I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, it wasn't my intention. For what its worth, I actually think there is a good chance that you are right - that there is something missing in LLMs that still won't be present in bigger LLMs. I mostly meant that an LLM would be more organized around the source material and address specific points.

I actually asked ChatGPT 4 to do so, and it produced the sort of reasonable but unremarkable stuff I've come to expect from it.
Yes, I always want to scream “what about the quality of the power?” when people make claims about cost-competitiveness. Electricity is a commodity on the surface, but, as with many technologies, depending on the use case, differences in the qualities of the underlying source matter a great deal. Reduction of all costs to currency can be a damaging abstraction to impose on systems that inherently involve trade-offs between qualities.

Anecdata is recognized by the Oxford English Dictionary [1] and has been around since the 1940s.

Zoom in on shunjuku station with google maps. All those yellow boxes with letters and numbers are various exits/entrances. I wonder which one which entrance was meant as "the" entrance. I'm sure it was the one they use every day, but that wouldn't help a visitor. It's kinda surprising someone like an AirBnB host, who presumably has to communicate this with many travelers from many places, is so vague about it.

If you're getting directions via google maps and you have to exit a subway station in Tokyo (and maybe some other cities), it will give you directions underground to the proper exit. It will even tell you which subway car you should be on so you will be closest to the proper exit.

grid-scale storage becomes more profitable when your primary energy production is more intermittent. current pv is something like 10× cheaper than nuclear before you factor in intermittency, and that opens up a huge market for grid-scale storage that didn't exist in the 01970s. pumped hydro was replaced by dispatchable gas, but gas is more expensive now, and batteries are cheaper
I'd be nice to hear him mention some specifics of messages that got he feels too much focus in their movies.
> use 'renewables' to sequester CO2 from the atmosphere and convert it into something like butanol, for example.

are you referring to P2X? I think P2X is an awesome solution for existing infrastructure, but it's obviously not particularly efficient. I am excited about pumped storage as well, but my fear there is we'll run out of sites, and obviously the 80% efficiency is still not ideal.

By no means am I arguing nuclear is a one size fits all solution.
People love to say it, but is there evidence? I've never seen it - which doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but that this claim needs it.

In what way is this true? Looks like Julia didn't exist until 2012. If I remember correctly, theano was the big AD thing in python at that point.
This is how your link describes deregulation in California:

"very limited and is conducted by a lottery system called DirectAcccess"

There was a semi-deregulation in 1996, but it was largely rolled back in 2001. So any price data post data 2001 should be bucketed in regulated.

There is a line of reasoning that baseload is a billing and profit construction, an artifice of the needs of coal-fired and nuclear power.

There is nothing innately wrong with over building renewable and storage, and a transmission network.

It's an argument about economics, not physics.
Nuclear was cheaper when more of it was built [1]. Economies of scale make things cheaper. A production run of 40 steam generators is a lot cheaper than 4 steam generators.

Proponents of a primarily solar + wind grid are betting on a breakthrough in energy storage. If that breakthrough does not transpire, we'll either have to give up on stopping carbon emissions or use nuclear power.

It is true that Kaspersky by policy does not make attribution without concrete proof. It is the responsibility of intelligence agencies to make the call based on preponderance of evidence. The video linked above leads suspicion to a very few options. The attacker left a list of Apple ID's in the code in one place to check against. Kaspersky provided them to Apple, and Apple did not respond with any details about the users of those Apple ID's. One of the main vulnerabilities has been available for over ten years.
> Cant control rods can be lifted or inserted to meet demand?

Thermally it is difficult to dial a reactor up and down. Generally the way nuclear power is modified is by not-sending the steam to generators through a by-pass and quenching their heat in some fashion.

So thermal generation stays at 100% (or whatever), but electrical generation output can be dropped.
Every fall our house in the mountains has an invasion of dampwood termites. Never very many, at most you'll see about four or five a day, for 2 or 3 weeks. And then they're gone. But they are relentless, and always at the same time of the year. We've called four different exterminators and they all say the same thing. "They only eat damp wood. Find it and get rid of it." And then they leave.

But we're surrounded by redwood trees so... we're just screwed I guess.
>more layers of abstraction needlessly added

I think you're betraying your bias here with the added term "needlessly". There is some (maybe even most) bureaucracy that is inefficiently applied, for sure. But it is meant to address some risk. Maybe it's a risk that you (personally) don't care about, or aren't even cognizant of, and that's when it becomes easy to declare it "needless." We should be looking to streamline our risk mitigation and align it with risks that the public cares about, not throw it out altogether.
You can't solve the variability of wind by overbuilding. Output can go down to <5% for more than a week several times a year. So the only way is storage. On a massive scale. Or having another source that makes sense to modulate. LNG is one (though carbon based).
prc is hedging their bets by building some new reactors, but it's not competitive with pv and wind (which they are building far more of), even at the dismal capacity factors they've achieved so far for reasons I'm unclear on (possibly a shortage of hvdc transmission capacity)

The Barbie movie is highly didactic. It’s like a series of college essays strung together on a thin string of story. You come out of the the theater ready to debate the issues in the movie.

Oppenheimer on the other hand is ‘art for art’s sake’. It’s not trying to ‘splain anything to you. You come out of the theater speechless, just carrying the weight of it all.

Python is not a scripting language, it's a weakly-typed general-purpose programming language. I too dislike the lack of strong-typing, but there are dozens of good options if that's what I need in a codebase.

It sounds like your problem is with people who write Python, not Python itself. Not every person who writes code has the time or ability to learn all the nuances of strongly-typed functional languages. In my opinion, people outside of software engineering shouldn't bother with such esoteric domain knowledge. "Real" programmers like yourself are there for that reason - to rewrite their prototyped code in whatever style you see fit.

Complaining that they don't know how to program is a great way to alienate smart people in other domains. Knowledge of computer science tends to blow up people's egos in a way that I have observed in few other fields.
Of course not. But paying the server bills won't magically produce the excellent content that you value so much. That's produced by volunteers.

There's a tendency among some people to take the nostrums of economists about the aggregate behaviour of populations as if they described human nature, and to then go on and conclude that because human behaviour in aggregate can be understood in terms of economic incentives, that an individual human can only be motivated economically. I find that an impoverished and shallow outlook, and I think I'm happier for not sharing it.
It’s worth noting that the dichotomy you set up isn’t quite right. The land use for solar and wind isn’t an exclusionary zone. The area around a wind turbine can be used same as before (most often as farmland) without a negative impact on its productivity.

And the same is true for solar. In fact, a growing number of agro-voltaic projects are seeing a net positive on crop yields from solar panels due to the increased shading and decreased temperatures.
We can thank the hippies of the 60s and 70s for all their anti-nuclear silliness for making the nuclear industry heavily over regulated.
That assume we still allow coal, oil or gas power plant to exist in the power grid. We should probably not assume that to be the case, especially after the temperatures rises to a break point and some of the major climate change crisis occurs.
I remember reading some article that said we could offset all of human emissions by painting Vermont stark white or something along those lines.

Covering a desert in solar panels seems like the exact opposite of that plan.
Yeah, PV and gas are the cheapest new power to build today.
Yes they do. On public trackers even. Almost everything i download is 2160p and DV.

MIT found that reusing a design made plants more expensive to build, not less, because of costly on-site last minute design changes.

Taking your point more charitably, it is indeed the lack of a sustainable nuclear energy industry that routinely builds plants that causes costs to skyrocket. There is a chicken and egg situation: nuclear projects don’t get funded because they’re too expensive, so there is no chance to develop expertise in how to build them cheaply, which causes the few that get greenlit to be built by rookie teams that make rookie mistakes that cause costs to skyrocket.

JuMP is cool, but honestly...I find the native Python APIs from CPLEX & GUROBI to be best. The additional abstraction of JuMP or the Python equivalent frameworks always is a pain to me as I don't need to switch solvers often.
To be fair, this was in the “language to avoid” section of the blog post.

Be clear, precise, and pedantic about your terminology – don't use words to describe groups just because everybody else does – and you will automatically satisfy most inclusivity guidance. To write respectively, have enough respect to know what you're talking about, or consult those who do. To avoid harmful stereotypes, don't use them: think about what category of people you're really talking about, and use that (instead of a proxy category). Some people aren't very good at this, though, and these checklists can help them.
