It's not that the agencies regulating nuclear are bloated but that they're given a mandate that nuclear must be as safe as possible rather than being held to some finite standard of safety.

>At least the idea that Waymo is hiding data that would reveal the vehicles as being too dangerous

This is your dichotomous thinking again. I am not making a point about it being "safe" or "unsafe" as a dichotomous choice. I'm saying we don't have good data to make a claim one way or another. That's also different from saying, "we have no information at all." When you combine that with the fact that we have other evidence that RL models can result in unpredictable behavior, it should give us pause.

Insufficient data + priors about unpredictable behavior = uncertainty of performance

The through-line of my entire point is that uncertainty erodes trust, and trust is necessary for wide adoption in the public sphere. It isn't a hard concept if you can lay your bias and dichotomous thinking aside to consider it. Waymo seems to agree; although the PR headline is about 7MM miles traveled, the report says:

>"the required ADS VMT to establish statistical significance ranges from tens to hundreds of millions of
miles, and the fatal outcome requires hundreds of millions to billions of miles of driving are needed."

So unless you have better data to show, you've demonstrated nothing to make me change my mind.
I'm not very versed in gaming, so have very little knowledge about what games want. It should be possible to implement a relative mode too and some way to switch between the modes so when working use absolute, when playing use relative.

I don’t think “people tend to do things at higher quality and higher frequency when incentivized” is some esoteric economic theory.

I never made the claim that paying server bills would produce great content.

I never made the claim “an individual human can only be motivated economically.”

Your strategy for personal happiness is unrelated to what actually works in the real world at scale.
It might be simpler than that. Like many other watch and phone features, it might just depend on the user's region. Hopefully only in software, but there's also precedent for regional hardware differences.
That's a bit different, and an interesting different. Certain types of partial differential equations like the one solved there generally use a form of step splitting (i.e. a finite volume method with a staggard grid). Those don't map cleanly into standard ODE solvers since you generally want to use a different method on one of the equations. It does map into the SplitODEProblem form as a not DynamicalODEProblem, and so there is a way to represent it, but we have not created optimized time stepping methods for that. But I work with those folks so I understand their needs and we'll be kicking off a new project in the MIT Julia Lab in the near future to start developing split step and multi-rate methods specifically for these kinds of PDEs.

It's an interesting space because:

-(a) there aren't really good benchmarks on the full set of options, so a benchmarking paper would be interesting to the field (which then gives a motivation to the software development)

-(b) none of the implementations I have seen used the detailed tricks from standard stiff ODE solvers and so there's some major room for performance improvements

-(c) there's some alternative ways to generate the stable steppers that haven't been explored, and we have some ideas for symbolic-numeric methods that extend the ideas of what people have traditionally done by hand here. That should.

so we do plan to do things in the future. And having Oceananigans is then great because it serves as a speed-of-light baseline: if you auto-generate an ocean model, do you actually get as fast as a real hand-optimized ocean model? That's the goal, and we'll see if we can get there.

We have tons of solvers, but you always need more!

Yeah, lockdown mode might have handled it. If I'm reading the article right, the first step of the exploit was a PDF file sent with iMessage.

When I tried out lockdown mode out of curiousity, I found that it was aggressive about blocking PDF viewing. I quickly bailed on it because I often read research papers on the web, and it switched them from view to download.
4B If Statements
Yes but Asia dominates the "building" category overall by a massive margin.

It's just true.

Pharmaceuticals, medical and gems are off topic.

I'm sure there's other small niches the US dominates in. But overall what I said is the objective truth no matter how much you desire it to be not true.

If Asia doesn't dominate a niche yet they are aggressively on track to dominate in the near future.
Sustainable fuels. It's the solution long haul aviation is coalescing around.
Gas not so much, at least not in Europe. There the ranking (cheap to expensive) is: Solar and wind, coal, oil, nuclear and gas (roughly). Coal is that cheap because CO2 certificates are way underpriced.
I'm not sure I agree.

I love how recent movies feature a broader range of characters. I was watching the Super Mario Bros Movie yesterday (not Disney) and it was so refreshing to see a strong, leading princess. Likewise I absolutely love seeing different kinds of people featured in Disney movies. It feels like they finally started putting a bit of everyone into their movies. It does not feel forced at all.

And why is messaging a problem? Wasn't Wall-E great? And what about The Wind Rises (not Disney)? Did Soul suffer from its messaging?

In my opinion, Disney's problem is not messaging, but phoning it on with tried-and-true recipes, and playing it safe instead of exploring what the medium can offer.
> it's his company

It's the shareholders' company, and there are many other stakeholders besides them.
I really don't think there's an explanation there. All Sutskever says is the idea is to ask a LLM to be the smartest being on the planet and it magically happens.
> 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.

Nuclear capacity factors are over 90% [1]. Wind is around 30%, solar around 25%, so it’s really ~5 GW (solar and wind capacity added), vs. ~1 GW nuclear fission added (and we’re not trying that hard to build more nuclear plants).

Messaging isn't Disney's problem. Putting out content that's an absolute mess is the problem. Too much content is also part of the problem. The Star Wars sequels were just a freaking mess from start to finish. Their TV series around Star Wars have been hit and miss.

The pacing for Ahsoka, for example, is just awful. Feels like they literally asked the actors to drag out the content. They were all over the place with the Boba Fett series.

It's been bad enough that my daughter, who was a devout MCU fan, has zero interest in any new MCU content now. Some of the movies since Endgame have been good, some OK, and some of the movies and TV shows have just been terrible. They managed, somehow, to make a series based around shape-shifting aliens starring Samuel L. Jackson and Don Cheadle boring. It's astonishing, really.

None of this has anything to do with the "messaging" Iger is hinting at to try to throw off the scent and appease the GOP. I'll grant that sometimes Disney is a bit hamfisted in checking off the boxes around diversity and so forth -- but none of that accounts for the fact that Disney just went for quantity of content over quality, with the assumption that the Star Wars and MCU franchises would sell no matter how bad the final product was.

In the past, they'd have been right. Fans used to tolerate just about anything to get a taste of their favorite heroes or franchise on screen. Those days are in the past. Fans have gotten a glut of content and have seen just how good comic book and sci-fi live action could be, and a spritz of CGI isn't cutting it anymore.

> This copy is not a transitory copy in service of a fair use

Training is almost certainly fair use, so it's exactly a transitory copy in service of fair use. Training, other than the brief "transitory copy" you mention is not copying, it's making a minuscule algorithmic adjustment based on fleeting exposure to the data.
Compare this graph with more than nuclear, and notice how lagging nuclear is compared to any other renewable.

Nuclear was much cheaper in the 1970s and early 80s: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Overnight-Construction-C...

This wasn't just due to regulatory influence, it was also due to economies of scale. But the two are related, more regulation results in fewer builds. Fewer builds reduces economies of scale and thus increases costs. Which results in even fewer nuclear builds, and so on.
The Case for the Freedom of a Machine to Learn
Lots of internet commentary on this already, but in my personal experience there are many BIPOC or LGBT or female characters that are undeveloped and lacking any tragic flaws.
your projection that human world marketed energy consumption will increase by a factor of 1000× within a century may be correct, but it is far outside the range of mainstream predictions, and far faster than current growth

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_energy_supply_and_consum... shows total energy supply (excluding agriculture) growing from 8700 million toe in 01990 to 14500 million toe in 02021, a 67% increase, or 1.66% per year. extrapolating that until 02123 we get only a factor of 5.4× growth, not the 1000× you're predicting
> 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.

Or overbuild by a factor of 6x or whatever relative to summer loads, which is probably less expensive than long term battery storage.
> the science is still out for whether it’s useful when used alongside regular topical applications.

That’s a meaningless comparison. The whole point is that people aren’t doing topical application.

A similar debate to this is the adding folate to flour or bread.
That is what capacity factor captures.
Why is a slime mold a river but a human isn't? Slime mold can predict temperature changes in its environment and react before it happens, that isn't something a river could do.

So your statement just seems to be your bias thinking that a slime mold couldn't possible do any reasoning. Cells are much smarter than most thinks.

Edit: Anyway, apparently slime molds can communicate what they learn by sharing those proteins. So they do have a language, it is like a primitive version of how human bodies cells communicate. So your point still stands, reasoning seems to go hand in hand with communication. If you can reason then it is worth it to share those conclusions with your friends and family.

They also taught slime molds to cross a bridge for food, and it learned to do it. Then they got the slime mold to tell other slime molds and now those also knew how to cross the bridge. It is pretty cool that slime molds can be that smart.

After looking at Mojo, I appreciated all the paradigms that Julia was pushing forward even more than I did before. Mojo's greatest asset and curse is focusing on being a better Python. Julia's greatest asset and curse is trying to do a lot more.
Can you elaborate on what you mean by "building"? It's a nebulous term. If you mean building infrastructure, that's true, but also partly because the US invested heavily in the same type of infrastructure a generation or two prior. I would disagree with the pharmaceuticals because that is a manufacturing-intensive industry.

Throwing out gems (because that probably isn't a good case, like you said), it still amounts to over $1.2 trillion in exports. I'm sure other countries would love that kind of "niche" business.
It is quite hard to compare $60-70 for year-round super stable power to $30-60 for bursty power.

That being said, unless there is a huge regulatory shift it seems like nuclear won't get much cheaper and solar and wind will continue to do so, so comparing those numbers will get easier to compare as the costs spread further.
I don't know that "absolute utilitarianism", if such a thing could even exist, would make a sound moral framework; that sounds too much like a "tyranny of the majority" situation. Tech companies shouldn't make the rules. And they shouldn't be allowed to just do whatever they want. However, this isn't that. This is just a debate over intellectual property and copyright law.

In this case it's the NYT vs OpenAI, last decade it was the RIAA vs Napster.

I'm not much of a libertarian (in fact, I'd prefer a better central government), but I also don't believe IP should have as much protection as it does. I think copyright law is in need of a complete rewrite, and yes, utilitarianism and public use would be part of the consideration. If it were up to me I'd scrap the idea of private intellectual property altogether and publicly fund creative works and release them into the public domain, similar to how we treat creative works of the federal government: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_status_of_works_by_t...

Rather than capitalists competing to own ideas, grant-seekers would seek funding to pursue and further develop their ideas. No one would get rich off such a system, which is a side benefit in my eyes.
Gaming on a 6W CPU [video]
Some of this is simply what’s considered germane to modern survival vs not. The information about imperial atrocities (whether English, Persian, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Powhatan, etc) is there for the interested, but in a child’s limited day of learning it’s probably not the most important thing to dwell on so much as the abstract lessons with a few concrete examples (in the US, the holocaust and slavery generally serve).

This is a reflection of brevity for efficiency but bias has certainly played a part in it. I think that’s fading to the point of absurdity though. “Land acknowledgement” proclamations at US events being a case in point. Incorporating indigenous wisdom gets a lot of focus in my corner of the US relative to its practical value and traceable legitimacy. Critical views of history, from Zinn to The 1619 Project are by no means in short supply. This has so much influence and currency on historical interpretation today that the side effect of “history without presentism” seems exceptional these days. This consequence is deleterious rather than additive to the study of history, and far apart from the goal of emphasizing “untold histories”.

I would propose that what most consider “untold history” (leaving revisionist histories and counterfactuals aside) is really just a rabbit hole of fascinating nerdom rather than a conspiracy. For example, I think more people should appreciate details of North American industrialization in the 19th century. I fully recognize that most people don’t know the interesting details not because the knowledge is controlled by gatekeepers but because most people are just aren’t as interested in it as me. Should they be? Of course! But if you’re into history you’ll always be stunned by the things people don’t know that you imagine to be common knowledge (or be incensed that it’s not). People have lives though, and for most people living in the present, the past is deprioritized. It’s probably helped us as a species.
It all depends on who it is used against.

If you have a memory leak, then take a process that has been leaking for a while and look at its memory. Just pole a few places at random and statistically you should quickly find what is leaking. I am pressure this would have cut down a lot of the investigation needed in this story (though it is always easy to say this kind of thing after the biug has been found)
I didn't hear anyone mention fuzzing once. I guess there was probably very specific insider knowledge being made use of and they wanted to point a finger, which is fair enough I guess. I'm just a bit surprised that it has not been mentioned so far in the discussion. Anyhow it seems that a allow-list approach by Apple would have been better than a deny list approach! Literally not checking out of expected bounds!
If we lived in this world, companies could just change hands whenever they wish to disgorge their debts. “We’re owned by a different shell holding company now, it’s not our problem.”

See the issue?

Here’s another way of framing this point: when selling a company, which liabilities do you feel should follow through to new ownership and which shouldn’t? Tax obligations? Real estate mortgages? Employee compensation?

Selling a company shouldn’t be a one-way risk valve. You punch the ticket, you take the ride.
The NS Savannah [1] was indeed a marketing stunt. But in the 1960s climate change wasn't really an issue. If you have to ship bulk cargo across the Pacific, nuclear is largely your only option. Hydrogen is another potential choice, but you'd need a carbon neutral way of producing that option. Electrolysis isn't efficient, and steam reformation emits carbon dioxide.

I own a home but not for financial reasons, mostly personal.

In HCOL areas, renting honestly is less risky (smaller % of your income to housing), more flexible (stay for 5 years or 1), less headache (text your landlord to fix your sink). The hidden costs, fees, and opportunity cost of home ownership usually are a bit more than renting and investing the difference in a index fund.

> One kilogram of uranium-235 (50 cm^3) can theoretically produce about 20 terajoules of energy.

That's missing the huge and expensive nuclear power plant around that kilogram of uranium.

If you don't account for the conversion device (for which solar is cheaper per GJ than nuclear power plants), then light is a much better medium: assuming 15% efficiency, which is a conservative estimate, solar panels can convert one kilogram of solar light (remember e=mc^2) into 13.5 terajoules of electricity.

Ammonia is another interesting storage fuel option.
Electricity is priced, at least last time I checked the European ones, at generating cost (variable cost excluding fix costs). Guess what forms of electricity generation have basically zero variable costs? Wind and solar. And guess what, those utility scale projects are calculated based on these conditions, and still profitable, even in winter.
Being part of the problem is still being part of the problem. Agree that there needs to be a reduction of incentives, but folks could just stop taking advantage of the current system too. Logical doesn't mean right.
Put yourself in the shoes of someone arriving at your website for the first time. What reason do they have for signing up an account and adding products to your database? A product like this needs an incentive, a hook.

There was also the Soviet nuclear fireworks project in the 80s that didn’t help much.
Not at all, it took life hundreds of millions of years to develop brains that could work with language, and took us tens of thousands of years to develop languages and writing and universal literacy. Now computers can print it, visually read it, speech-to-text transcribe it, write/create/generate it coherently, text-to-speech output it, translate between languages, rewrite in different styles, explain other writings, and that only took - well, roughly one human lifetime since computers became a thing.
The price of solar panels is likely to fall to ever lower levels but the labor involved in installing them and the land they use up are much more likely to be the binding constraints in the future. Though we do have the twin strategies of building out the power grid to put solar generation in high availability areas and shifting electrical consumption to times of sunlight as mitigation.
Do you have any studies to share that confirm this claim? As far I am aware the new variants evolved from regions that were not highly vaccinated like South Africa.

Like the sibling comment said, Rust is a special case. The ownership model is there to fight shared mutable state.

With respect to other languages, this part is interesting:

> at least not in the way I think most people would understand 'effects on a shared global state.'

You're right - most programmers do not think of it as shared global state, once it's put behind something like 'private', and exposed via getters and setters, but it is.

You can take any race condition you like, wrap the offending operations in getters and setters, and you'll still have the same race condition.
