I think China won't attack soon. It seems they play a long time game vs Taiwan, where they try to bring Taiwan, closer, weeken it's ties to its allies and slowly making Taiwan to become more dependent on China.

China is convinced they will get Taiwan back and whether that happens in 20,50 or 100 years, that is good enough.

At least until China builds a self sufficient semiconductor industry, I don't think they are going to attack Taiwan.

Other founder of Depot here. AWS is pretty close to this idea with their Warm Pools [0]. But for our use case, they're just too slow to react to changes. We observed 60s+ to notice a change and actually start the machine. That doesn't work when we need to launch the machine as quickly as possible in reaction to a pending GHA job.

That said, I think this is a problem they could likely solve with that functionality, and we'd love to use it.

Most if not all of these roles (in the western sphere at least) are political appointees selected from a pool of politicians or those adjacent to power.

Certainly their baseline of experience and knowledge is higher than the average man in the street, however, as a political appointee everthing is filtered through the lens of national proaganda and partisan politics. The end result is indistinguishable from a total idiot.

There are some seasoned (life long professional) diplomats out there who are very knowledgeable, however, you wont hear from them in the media this side of their retirement.

I never proposed or said anything about "buying this device". I answered the parent and explained why such a device could help with smartphone overuse/doomscrolling issues.

Any idea how popular each is? Just curious.

It's the same in League, they're just called quick cast & quick cast w/ indicator. And normal cast, but I think nobody uses it. I feel like on-release (w/ indicator) is more popular when people can choose, but maybe not.

I like that it's configurable. Perhaps most importantly, some abilities are hardcoded to use the sensible option when only one makes sense.

What method do they use to get the certificate? I'd guess ACME DNS-01 challenge, but that means they are setting DNS records you didn't explicitly ask for. Getting a TLS certificate is pretty quick, I'd probably prefer to wait 10 seconds versus having unexpected DNS records.

Poorly sourced? This was a a report by the "Cour des comptes".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cour_des_Comptes_(France)

Reported on here:

https://www.liberation.fr/terre/2012/01/31/au-total-le-nucle...

Via Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_France%27s_civil_nu...

The article explicitly says "overall cost" and "including all expenditures."

"Following the Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011, the French government requested that the Court of Accounts prepare a report on the overall cost of both public and private investment in the French nuclear power industry from its beginning, including all expenditures.[225] The report estimates that the industry has cost around 228 billion euros for a yearly production of roughly 400 TWh, with a cumulative production of approximately 11,000 TWh. Among the expenses, the Court of Accounts differentiates €55 billion spent on research since 1950 (equivalent to approximately a billion dollars annually) and €121 billion spent on construction, which includes €96 billion on the 58 reactors."

Your quoting estimated future prices does not contradict what has already happened. The new reactors both have higher rated output than what is currently installed and higher capacity factors. Operating costs are small compared to initial investment, and fuel costs are a small part of the operating costs.

Let's math the shit out of this!

Assuming the 1.5 GW output for the EPR2 that's quoted in Wikipedia and a conservative 90% capacity factor, each of these reactors will produce 1.5 * 24 * 365 * 0.9 = 11826 GWh of electricity per year.

80 year running life makes that 11826 * 80 = 946080 GWh of electricity over the lifetime of the plant. Or 946 TWh. That's 946 Trillion Wh, or 946 Billion kWh. If I can sell these 948 Billion kWh for 1 cent / kWh, that's 948 billion cents or € 9.48 billion so close to the estimated cost of constructing each of these plants. So let's assume an extremely unlikely ~100% cost overrun and operating costs that are the same as originally estimated construction costs and we have 3 cents / kWh. Everything after that is profit, even with 100% cost overruns for construction.

Which maybe gives you an idea why, though the French government almost certainly does not like the cost overruns, they don't seem to be nearly as perturbed by them as the anti-nuclear activists.

And neither is the UK government. So nobody is going to claim that Hinkley Point C is going well. Nevertheless, the UK is proceeding with Sizewell C, have just selected a site for an additional pair of reactors and have made it policy to quadruple nuclear output.

Just like neither the Poles nor the Ukrainians let the problems at Vogtle-3/4 keep them from selecting the Westinghouse AP-1000 for 4 reactors each, with site-prep work having started in both countries earlier this year.

>XP can use far more cores

Only for the 64-bit version, which was very uncommon for most of the XP lifetime.

Almost everybody on XP was using a 32-bit version, which only uses two cores at the most.

Using select 2014 PC's which are about the newest you could get that still supported XP and where proper XP drivers were easily available, a lot can still be done to make direct performance comparisons. These would be the first generation consumer/business UEFI PC's, originally shipped with 64-bit Windows 8. But also still offering drivers for W7, Vista, and XP if you were to prefer to install those instead or multiboot to them. Also among the first target machines to be expected to migrate to Windows 10 as soon as it became "the final Windows version going forward" from Windows 8.x. Some can have W11 installed without real difficulty too, and it runs the same apps correctly just like W10 without much more sluggishness.

But if you don't need more than 3.x GB of memory, and try W10 32-bit, you may find it's a lot less slow than W11. This is where nobody can deny it.

OTOH with XP 32-bit on the same hardware (including SSD and HD graphics) with all proper system drivers, nothing about it can be considered slow by comparison.

Much faster than almost all professional users of XP remember from back then, because 2014 hardware was so much more performant than 2004 or 2010.

On only two cores it just blows everything else away.

Except for Windows 98 of course on the same hardware without even proper system drivers (naturally only using a single core), but you have to remove all but 1GB of memory for that.

Apple may have accepted the in their view minor inconvenience of not being able to use the mouse for half an hour or so every few days to get a cleaner look of the device, knowing full well that some people would complain about it.

If they had put the charging connector on the outside, I bet some people (possible even some of the same people) would have complained about the looks.

Also, even assuming it is a design flaw, I don’t see it being an obvious design flaw. Maybe Apple knows it doesn’t work well with a cable attached (modern environmentally cleaner cables tend to be stiffer. How stiff is the cable they supply it with?), or that permanently charging it wil shorten battery lifetime (yes, that’s preventable, but they may have had other constraints, e.g. time to market.

>> a well-thought out implementation can save tons of time

I think there is a bias for many developers to feel like they are not doing anything unless their actively producing/editing code.

Once I realized that I could just state in a standup that I was 'investigating' and 'researching' the best approach to XYZ then I felt a lot less resistance to the process.
Having lost both parents young, all my grandparents and a spouse... years and years ago, and a brother who is alive but is lost to mental torment from fighting his grief... and I'm not even 40 yet.

Calling grief maladaptive seems deeply wrong, while I both grieved and persevered through the loss and have been financially successful and am "well adjusted" and "successful" by any external observers measure, I do not think I would judge myself or anyone else who was pulled into the abyss by grief, I still doubt if living with grief was even the right choice, though I am glad I ended up in a mental state where I retained my volition to make the choice.

Loss is loss, a person who has part of their brain removed, their heart damaged so it barely pumps enough oxygen, their limbs lost or kidneys damaged... their inability to function or find joy, meaning or energy in life would never be judged as maladaptive.

I persist, that is true, but I see no moral or emotional difference between my functioning and if I was non functioning. I so repeatedly see people discount grief, mental trauma and other forms of true tangible loss as if was somehow different from other types of physical loss, but it isn't.

To call it an inability to adapt to loss is one thing, just as a head without a body could not open a door with our current technology, but I would humbly suggest that it is too far too call it maladaptive.

I loved every person I lost, due to my age for my parents I was quite literally dependent on them, and the sheer force of will required and personal self subjugation I cannot clearly say was worth it, After all, I've never met an unhappy, struggling or grief stricken man in the ashes of an urn. Loss is loss, it is as real as a limb or organ lost.

We all have different experiences, but just some thoughts to consider.
This. Scrum is just a way of operationalizing the basic principles behind the Agile Manifesto while putting them in a way that can be communicated and understood outside of dev/product organizations. No Scrum Master/Agile Coach/Product Owner, etc. worth his/her salt will tell you to slavishly stick to every piece of Scrum as long as you get the basics (see the manifesto) right.

It is, however, a somewhat useful tool for helping you get this running in the first place (especially in organizations where there is a lot of chaos to begin with, i.e., upper management regularly changing the product scope and release timeline based on the color of their coffees, etc.).
IMO the word intelligence doesn't seem a good description for the thing LLMs possess, they perform pretty well on some tests measuring it. But they're also sometimes wrong in ways intelligent beings (humans) never are. Like this[0] riddle about boats and farmers i stumbled over recently:

> A farmer stands on the side of a river with a sheep. There is a boat on the riverbank that has room for exactly one person and one sheep. How can the farmer get across with the sheep in the fewest number of trips?

It's obviously riffing on the classic wolf sheep lettuce riddle, but I don't think that's gonna fool any humans into answering anything but the obvious. ChatGPT-4o on the other hand thinks it'll take three trips.

They perform a good approximation of intelligence most of the time but the fact that their error pattern is so distinct from humans in some ways, suggests that we probably shouldn't attribute intelligence to them. At least in a human sense of the word.

Exactly. I can relate. I am like you, and I was once suspected of shaking my nanny (the nanny would later be prosecuted before being cleared after 4 years). After the interview with social services, where they said with a smile "everything would be okay", they wrote I had a one stringed voice, showed little emotion and didn't cry while talking. They wrote it was suspicious of abuse and used that to recommend removing my 5 month old baby for a couple of years. The judge followed. That's the most devastating thing I ever had to endure. I was lucky enough that the lawyer was so pissed off by this that he fought like hell to bring us our baby back in less than a month. But that specific episode made me swear on my child that I would spend the rest of my life undoing this wrong somehow. I'm still here 8 years later.

>The magic third ingredient is that the state was allowed to bring in an expert witness to tell the jury that there's a causal link between shaking of the kind observed by the fact witness and the infliction of fatal injuries like those seen in the child. If it turns out no such link actually exists, you sort of have a problem

That medical description of physical symptoms sounds fine as a "magic third ingredient" between "shaking of the kind observed" and the kid dying.

Except if someone who treats a baby like that (as described by the witness) be beyond beating it, or if "bruising on her chin, as well as along her left cheek and jaw, and large subdural hematomas" develop spontaneously...

Probably not that much relatively.

Specifically the Perseus cluster reported on here has a mass of around 10^15 solar masses in total. Of that ~10% is in the form of stars, 20% is intergalactic gas and the remainder is dark matter.

The report here says 1.5 trillion of these stars in this cluster which is ~10^12 solar masses (assuming average star mass is similar to the sun's.)

So the newly observed stars reported here are around 0.1% of the total cluster mass, or around 1% of the total mass of stars in the cluster. All very approximate of course.
Note tha its production was put to stop (last year IIRC) with reserve to possibly start it again.
