This reads more as a puff piece than an informative article. Hardly surprised coming from the "China Global Television Network". It just reads like "Everything going great, look no further".

And for somebody who has been following the development of 4th generation reactors, this one is rather non-exciting. Yes it uses a pebble-bed and higher temperature (hence VHTR), it's overall improvements are rather diminishing compared to Gen 3 designs. The meager output of 150m isn't exactly thrilling and the possibility for hydrogen production remains unused as well.

I don't want to be purely cynical. Every incremental advance is a form progression and can advance the status-quo as we know. But the most promising space is clearly happening in the Fast Reactor space, just maybe not the SFR, this is a nuclear disaster waiting to happen.
The benefit is that you can speed up any single-threaded code without any changes, and not all code is easily parallelizable.
In case anyone else was curious: The American football fields are 109.8 meters long, while football/soccer fields are 90 to 120 meters long (but most commonly 105 meters long for professional stadium fields).

I do understand people might take it at face value and run with the idea. But also Ilive long enough to understand hostage situations are not what you see in the movies. Anyone who can read between the lines should know better.

I do understand it was also his marketing of tough guy. But still I have to say if he was down there with the troops it still checks my mark. If he ordered to shoot hijackers right there like 10 meters away and not from cozy office it still counts as tough guy for me.

Show HN: Learn English with pictograms, speech and body pose
Hi HN,
We are moving abroad, so my kids (7 and 4 yo) will have to attend classes in English, but they don't know any English (yet). I made two fairly simple language games to motivate them. I wanted to share the games with you assuming some of the other parents might be in the same situation.

Since both children are still only learning to read and write, I dispensed of all the text, and use only pictograms and speech synthesis for communication with the user. Both games run in a browser. I tested only with Chrome, but any browser which supports speech API should work.

The first game trains the passive vocabulary. The user listens to the word and is presented two pictograms to choose from, a correct one and an incorrect one. For selection I use body pose estimation. Raising the left hand chooses the left pictogram and, analogously, raising the right hand selects the right pictogram. So far, it seems that kids prefer body movements to typing / clicking on the screen, especially the younger one.

The second game is for practicing the active vocabulary. The user is presented with a pictogram and needs to pronounce the word. Three attempts are allowed, and if the user does not know the word, it needs to be later repeated. This is basically a flashcard method coupled with speech recognition.

In both games, the user gains diamonds. I inserted a silly ghost which tries to steal them to add some sense of temporal urgency.

You can access the games at:

How do you expect me to respond to what was clearly a bad faith argument?
Well that bug is clearly idiotic, and makes me feel a fool for thinking react.dev would be a strong example of sane SPA architecture to link to.

The idea is sound, and the basic loading behavior is as I said (not sure what the people who are encountering 1.5 second navigation times are doing), and the existence of an implementation bug doesn't undermine the theoretical soundness of the architecture.... although, as you say, having one on the react docs is embarrassing.
The P14s is actually fairly close to the T14. I think the P series used to be intended as beefier compared to the T series, but at least in case of 14-inch models, there doesn't seem to be much of a difference nowadays. The P14s is thin and light similarly to modern T series. I think some of the larger P series models are available with discrete GPUs and possibly more powerful CPUs, though.

(I have a private T14 as well as a P14s from a couple of generations ago for work.)

Yes, I imagine that colleges will continue with their historical practices until lawsuits force them to stop. Getting rid of the SAT actually helps them in this regard, by making it harder to tell that they are still treating applicants of different races differently.

One 'tell' will be if students who don't submit scores are disproportionately likely to get in if they are of a certain race (as evidenced by their personal statement, club membership, etc., since this can no longer be explicitly asked on the application).
Shecc is a self-compiling compiler for 32-bit Arm and RISC-V architectures, focusing on a subset of the C language and incorporating basic optimization techniques. It generates executable Linux ELF binaries for ARMv7-A and RV32IM and includes a minimal C standard library for GNU/Linux I/O. Written in ANSI C, it is broadly compatible and features an integrated machine code generator, removing the need for external tools. The compiler uses a two-pass process for syntax checking and translating operations into machine code, and has a register allocation system for RISC-style architectures. Additionally, it includes an architecture-independent, SSA-based middle-end for enhanced optimizations.

But... the length of a coastline is famously not definitively measurable. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coastline_paradox)
And that is why it is difficult to learn new things.

I want to read documentation but then I have been programming for 45 years and am used to reasonable documentation.

If you are not experienced in language X the being told to look at its source code to see what and how it works is not good as the reason you are asking is because you don't yet understand X. Documentation has to be written assuming you don't know what is happening.

Even UNIX/Emacs documentation is frustrating as if you know Unix/Emacs than searching will give the information you need but if you have not user that port before then the documentation is opaque.

I suspect that documentation works when it is written by a separate team than the developers of the product and the documenters use the product.

Yeah, the lack of a basic record/struct/object was felt quickly in R5RS. (Sure, you can whip up something atop vectors, or alists or other pair structures, or some arrangement of closures.)

SRFI-9 soon introduced a record type, and various Scheme implementations introduced much more.

Racket (nee MzScheme, or PLT Scheme) was one of them that introduced an object system, which was neat in some ways (e.g., mixins), but rougher in others, and thankfully it was limited to pedagogic and GUI use. There was also at least one CLOS-like. Later, Racket got a `struct` concept with some interesting hooks (e.g., inheritance/subtyping), and some simpler version of that might've been a good candidate for R5RS.

I'm don't know where RnRS is going recently, but I could imagine a fundamantal record/struct type, or interfaces more like the current Rust thinking.

> But I think it's actually pretty clear that it is a million times better. I think it's extremely clear that saving somebody's life, who would otherwise have been killed by malaria, is a million times better than somebody eating a nicer meal at a restaurant, or buying a nicer chair, or whatever.

I agree that society and resource allocation should be structured towards such that so much of it doesn't go to this kind of pointless crap. Heavily progressive taxation for all income and international redistribution would be a good start. But people seem to care more about their chairs than poor people suffering.

> I honestly am pretty blown away by your assertion that you're not even sure whether the Gates Foundation does any good at all. Your logic seems to question whether charities do anything at all and whether they should even exist, and I don't think you're going to find a lot of people on your side there.

Gates Foundation probably does some good. But so do e.g. UNICEF, WHO, public universities etc.

In general I find that, at least large scale, charity is a clear sign of a failed economic system. And promoting more charity tends to make the systemic problems worse.

I may be in the minority, but I'm definitely not alone in this. Philantrophy is oligarchy.

It's the old dilemma.

Do we invest billions of dollars on infrastructure before it's actually needed, or do we play 'frantic catch-up' when we get too far behind?

I, for one, will never buy an EV until there is sufficient infrastructure to support buying one.

And the biggest infrastructure shortcoming that nobody appears to be addressing is the lack of a sufficiently robust electrical grid that will support charging hundreds of millions of EVs on a 24/7 basis.
This is the opposite but somehow has the same energy as stubbornly trying to explain why a joke is funny.

Here's the rule about comedy: either you get it, or you don't and move on. The deeper you dive in, the more unbearably cringy it becomes, and no one will ever be able to convince you whether it is actually funny. Let it go, man.

Here's one to cheer you up: time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
It would also be incorrect to say that we're not sophisticated or developed. That's just false humility.

Ah, but the equipment to charge it is the renewable sources you're already building. These are installed with some overcapacity, so they can more often provide what they're required to provide directly to the grid. But this means they also produce excess output, which can then be diverted to hydrogen production. One gets two bites at the apple here; the two approaches are synergistic with overall cost less than the sum of the costs of each separately.

As I have repeatedly pointed out, simulations based on actual weather data show green hydrogen can be highly effective at reducing the overall cost of a RE grid, vs. just using batteries alone.
I clearly didn't communicate my key message well enough here.

I'm not insisting on specific words here: I'm pushing back against people who insist on NOT using specific words.

It's absolute fine to call it something else! There are plenty of more accurate terms that can be used here, especially when communicating with a technical audience.

The point I wanted to make is that it's /also/ OK to use the term AI. I'm fed up with conversations that get derailed arguing about whether something is "really intelligence" or not, when we could be talking about something more interesting.
I think it's worse. I can't shake the feeling that these AR/VR devices would be actively harmful if they actually became popular. So many of us already live in a strange artificial bubble of routine city life, digital concerns and work in MS Teams, disconnected from the wider physical world and the lives of but a few handpicked other people. Strapping screens to our faces and increasingly ignoring what's actually out there can only make this malady worse.

To me the "haha, it will never catch on and remain a niche form factor" thinking is the optimistic take. If they stay a rarely-used, sophisticated toy I think that's just fine. If they actually become the Next Big Thing, we'd all lose.

The sad part is that I think they do have a lot to offer to e.g. the immobile, and I understand looking forward to the technology becoming better if you are in that demo.

AI in 2024: Five trends workers need to know
When my partner and I returned home after a 1 month trip, we discovered caches of 1cm food pellets (dog food?) in various places in our house: in one boot, in the pocket of one backpack, under our bedroom pillow, nestled between two couch cushions. The neatness made it seem mysterious: Did I forget I had stowed dog food in my backpack, and while packing let the backpack drip on our bed and couch? The boot is what gave it away as mousework.
Yes I'm well aware of the grandiosity you attribute yourself which covers the hurt and vulnerable child within screaming to not be abandoned, abused, neglected, shamed or isolated. But nobody here will do that to you. This place is a safe place. People only wish you well here given all the comments urging you too bring the critical thinking that this forum is well known for to your own problems. It could be that you don't know everything. It could be that therapy could help you. You simply should try it while heartedly before you dismiss it so eagerly.

> "Most personnel involved with the original production process were no longer available," the article said. As such, NNSA personnel had reconstructed the production process from historical records.

> In a bizarre twist, the new production facility and reverse-engineered production process yielded a version of Fogbank that was of a higher purity than it had been in the past, according to the article. The problem, however, was that for Fogbank to work as intended in existing warhead designs, that previous level of impurity was actually essential. NNSA had to revise the process to ensure the final product was just as impure.

I've been working on a C compiler with the goal of ANSI C compliance, and most of the projects described as a "C compiler" seem to only support an arbitrary subset of C. This project seems to support more than most educational/toy CCs, but I still believe there’s value in implementing full standard C.
That is an open question, especially if their reason for doing so is based on racial considerations. This question (is a policy that is racially neutral on its face allowable, if it was motivated by racial animas?) is being litigated in the TJ case, where school board members are alleged to have tweaked their HS admissions program with the goal of reducing Asian student enrollment.

It does not have a well defined length in itself, but as soon as you define a method of measurement that problem goes away, so assuming the same method has been used for the old and new number there is no problem.
if there's a good rational approximation to some number x = n/m + ε where n and m are integers and ε is small, then every m multiples you get back to almost the same place; only the residual difference ε remains. so you get m clusters of points that are each spread apart by ε. after enough multiples, these clusters grow big enough to overlap, and then you start to see clusters corresponding to the next approximant

the first few approximants of pi using http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/netbook-misc-devel/contfrac.... are 22/7, 333/106, 355/113, and 103993/33102. the large jump from 22/7 to 333/106 means that ε is tiny in π = 22/7 + ε. so you see 7 cleanly defined groups, and that's all you'll see for a long time, until you have several hundred samples, at which point i think you'll have 106 or 113 clusters, depending on how you squint, and that will remain the case for tens of thousands of samples

by contrast the first few approximants of √2 are 3/2, 7/5, 17/12, 41/29, 99/70, 239/169, 577/408, etc. you never get a large jump from one denominator to the next

btw does anyone know how to wring these out of pari/gp? vecsort(vecsort([bestappr(Pi, i) | i <- [1..10000]],,8), (a, b) -> denominator(a) - denominator(b)) gave me [3, 13/4, 16/5, 19/6, 22/7, 333/106, 355/113], and i don't really know what to make of that. also it's obviously not a good way to get approximants like π ≈ 4272943/1360120. i don't know how to use pari/gp very well
