The "strong developments" in the grid and storage you speak of is peanuts compared to trying to make nuclear cheap. Big, powerful companies with brilliant physicists and engineers have worked on it for decades. Lots of prototypes, lots of designs that didn't work out in practice.

Today, we don't actually need new tech for distribution and storage, although new tech is being developed and helps.

Chemical batteries for small-scale time-shifting and hydro plus gas plus biomass for larger scale. In 20 years, the youth of today will have to decide if they want to get rid of the last fossil gas - long term storage is on the order of 10% of total energy needed in the studies I've seen. It can be substituted with gas made from biomass. In fact, it's already happening in the country I'm in.

Distribution is just building more connections. I think working on improving the cost of underground connections would help, but it's doable with today's tech, and it is happening.

If anyone's interested, there are plenty of academic papers discussing this, and also a bunch of more accessible articles by this dude:

And yes, it's a complex topic. And yes, there will be some pain points along the way - energy is important to modern society, and it is a large transition that will years to unfold.
I personally think these effect systems are trying to solve the wrong problem. What we really want is capabilities[1], and the means of enforcing them, which I suspect is best done with linear types and uniqueness types. Granule[2] is certainly of interest as it combines these two typing disciplines. Austral[3] is another worth looking into, though uniqueness and referential transparency is not one of its goals, it does provide capabilities which are encapsulated in linear types, which serve a similar purpose as uniqueness types for guaranteeing unforgeability.

MIMO added no "new fibers". - it's more throughout with no change in medium, a consequence of photons not cross interacting. Electrons cross interact, and end up with different physical properties. You're proving my point: the physics has major impact in practice. Shannon says zero about this, since his is a simple, outdated model.

Bandwidth is defined by the signal type. A signal is defined via the technology and model of communication. Change the tech or model, and you get different Shannon limits.

Take some time and read and understand the papers I gave you. Your claims are contradicted by each of those papers (and hundreds more).

How can you honestly ignore all those well cited papers that state exactly what I said? Post some evidence countering those papers or there's no more point replying to your opinions.

in this thread: people clueless to the political process giving excuses for the wins of lobbyists.

no, the irs is not "avoiding code complexity" by those limits. the limits are purely chosen by intuit and irs "goals".

first, irs already have how to calculate all of your tax. period. they do that since the 50s and let you guess if you got it right.

then the limits exclude everyone who is the market for intuit, not some complex to code form. have a job were paying $200 is nothing? keep payinh intuit. have some stocks in your retirement plan? keep paying intuit. are too poor that you would rather no bother paying taxes? heres free file from the irs!

What I keep learning as a skeptic, there is untold health benefits in nature (when nature is scientifically proven it is medicine), but this certainly isn't being shared by crystals or homeopathy. And there is a lot to learn from information generationally passed down, Even if it isn't scientific it likely has chemical or biological purposes, and needs to be isolated. Dozens to hundreds of generations know their shit how to keep alive, maybe just not the minutia.
There's good reason to use it for a beta build (or an alpha) - it changes the type of feedback you get.

While my google-fu is failing me as I write this, there was a blog post I read long ago about a making things look not done (I want to say it was in the context of an AWT look and feel). Related: xkcd-style Plots https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/11350/xkcd-s... ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4597977 ) and https://www.chrisstucchio.com/blog/2014/why_xkcd_style_graph...

If the product looks done then the feedback you will get assumes that it is done.

I made the mistake of using a nice looking header (it looked better than the existing ones that were used which were stretched gifs and I had a CSS gradient) while working on the innards of some JavaScript. While I was trying to get feedback on the "is this workflow the right sequence of pages? Are these the UI elements that need to be on the page for this functionality? For that matter, am I missing some functionality?" .... and I got feedback about the color blue and if it should go from dark to light or light to dark in the gradient.

...

And with some digging I remembered the look and feel - https://napkinlaf.sourceforge.net

Everyone should take the time to not just react and actually listen to some of the people who were affected by this. Let's all follow HN guidelines.

Here's the comments by one of the people involved: https://x.com/Erdayastronaut/status/1796760324055404627

> And just like that, the dreams of my crew are over.

> I have such mixed emotions about dearMoon’s cancellation. Of course I’m extremely disappointed, having dreamt about this mission since I first heard about it in 2018 and even more for the last 3 years since the selection process started. I slowly allowed myself to envision a trip to the Moon one little bit by little bit. On the other hand, I have guilt about being upset about a gift that was retracted. A part of me doesn’t feel I’m entitled to grieve since I wasn’t entitled to this mission in the first place. But the reality is, I’ll need to allow myself to grieve this loss as it became a big part of my life, my dreams, and my visions.

> Going to space has never been a thing I’ve actively pursued in general. It’s not a goal of Everyday Astronaut. It was simply a cherry on top. Granted, a HUGE cherry, but I’ll be just fine without this mission. I’m extremely fortunate to have the life and the career I have and this mission’s cancellation changes none of that. In fact, I’ve gained new friends, had new adventures and learned more about myself in the last three years because of dearMoon. Unfortunately, I can’t speak for everyone on the crew who all have different emotions, consequences and realities of this cancellation. For those who this affects the most, my heart goes out to them.

> The one thing I have a hard time reconciling is the timeline. Had I known this could have ended within a year and a half of it being publicly announced, I would’ve never agreed to it. We had no prior knowledge of this possibility. I voiced my opinions, even before the announcement, that it was improbable for dearMoon to happen in the next few years.

> I still firmly believe that, within my lifetime, we will see missions like this happen, and while I will never be the first to do such a mission, it brings me great joy to know the future is bright and exciting. And I’m proud to be able to continue to cheer those on who will do these exciting firsts! I’ll still be here to help explain rocket science to anyone who will listen to me babble on about spaceflight.

> In 2018 I started looking at the Moon and imagining artists going around it, then as the selection process narrowed, I allowed myself to imagine going around it. But unfortunately now every time I look at the Moon, it’s a painful reminder of dreams lost. But I will continue on as I always have, one giddy rocket nerd who’s here to witness history, absorb as much knowledge as I can, and break down what I learn for my fellow everyday person.

> I love you all, thank you for the ongoing support and encouragement at this time.
Right. I can find a collection of quotes by current and previous Palestinian leaders that make them appear to be a bunch of genocidal, religious fanatics and holocaust deniers. But I'm not gonna do that because the day is short and I'm not sure what its going to achieve.

Clearly not. He essentially said "We have to get Trump" before he even found a crime to charge him with. Then invented a "novel legal theory" to prosecute him.

"obviously breaking encapsulation", like if you pull some interface from the dependency through yours, then yeah, you're broken when they break things. That's a generalized interface problem and java can't help you anymore than rust can. But I guess it's true that it may not be obvious that library interfaces may churn unexpectedly etc, you are dependent on the good behavior of others unless you specifically take steps to abstract it.

(although you do absolutely have to be careful about what you are returning in a client-facing error message etc. don't return the parts of the stack trace that leak information about your application to an actual client, they should be caught by your framework and turned into generic "4xx git rekt"/"5xx we made a fucky wucky" messages that don't reveal too much about your environment.)

not a java problem specifically for either of those, it just seems odd coming from that world that there's not a concept of a "recursive exception stack" like that in rust?

Qt hasn't been terrible in terms of upgradeability between major versions for many use cases, but Krita got the short end of the stick.

Krita's scope and architecture requires both cross-platform compatibility and deep integration with the OS. For the latter, they need some degree of going past Qt's cross-platform abstractions, and Qt happens to have made some substantial changes to the way they build on the platform's graphics APIs.

As long as you're sticking with Qt's cross-platform API, you're good; if you ignore it and go full OpenGL or Vulkan for all UI, you're good; it's when you try to mix both that things get hairy.

I think the impact of LLMs is both overhyped underestimated. The overhyping is easy to see: people predicting mass unemployment, etc., when this technology reliably fails very simple cognitive tasks and has obvious limitations that scale will not solve.

However, I think we are underestimating the new workflows this tech will enable. It will take time to search the design space and find where the value lies, as well as time for users to adapt to a different way of using computers. Even in fields like law where correctness is mission-critical, I see a lot of potential. But not from the current batch of products that are promising to replace real analytical work with a stochastic parrot.
> Therefore, the nutritional composition of the industrially produced cow's milk today is complicated.

As it is for most things found within the grocery store. Modern cultivars of produce for instance, have been bred within a short time-frame for size, productivity, shelf-life and consistency. All of this has created a result of the food that we eat having a massively hampered nutritional profile. Personally, I hypothesize that it's this same effect behind the fact that heirloom vegetables bought directly from small, independent farms tend to have a much higher subjective quality in taste. The changes we've experienced in our society have been drastic over the last few hundred years, and it's allowed our population to explode in such a way that hasn't been seen since the agricultural revolution, but nothing comes for free.

> The real issue is that both sides push their own respective agenda, oftentimes driven by questionable motives, aiming to win or gain a upper hand at any cost.

As is usually the case. Hence why I don't hesitate to call out the existence of dairy industry propaganda which erases the concept of non-bovine milk, and uses language like "necessity" to describe its products. Anybody even remotely versed in nutritional science will know that there is no essential nutrient with a singular source. You can even stay hydrated without actually drinking pure water for fucks sake, but it hasn't stopped charlatans from using misleading language to assert some ridiculous picture with no bearing to reality.

> China is big

It's important to note that that the time of these assimilations (~2000-300BCE) China was not even remotely close to what it was today. What is now South China was in fact a completely different society, and a precursor to what is now called Vietnam. Vietnam itself meaning "southern viets", and not in the 1960's sense.

The limit is Shannon's law which depends on bandwidth and signal to noise. A more advanced modulation technique can get more "information" through up to that limit. A song for this matter can just be considered information as well. So the answer is almost certainly yes, one can get more out of existing channels by upgrading the equipment assuming the current equipment doesn't approach the theoretical limit which is almost certainly the case for this "old" technology we're talking about.

An FM radio channel has a bandwidth of 200Khz. AM radio has a bandwidth of of 10Khz. That's a big part of the reason why AM sounds horrible compared to FM. The way noise impacts AM and FM is also different, especially given human perception. IIRC both these methods were picked for practical reasons not necessarily any optimal criteria. AM is fairly crude, there's only so much you can change the amplitude for any practical purpose. Changing the frequency makes it easier to use more bandwidth so it was a natural evolution. Depending on how you're modulating the amplitude (the naive old school radio IIRC is just using the signal you're transmitting to modulate it) you can make the bandwidth larger or smaller. Random e.g. something like Ethernet on copper can be viewed as a very very fast, high bandwidth, AM. All these things boil down to the same Shannon law just with somewhat different efficiencies depending on how well you can control the frequency domain.

This problem of cramming the most bits into a given channel is something people have been working on for a long time. Some coverage of this here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulation

That's how we got from 300bps modems to 56k modems over the same phone lines way back and how we push more out of radio spectrum today.
Actually Raivo OTP had a Mac companion app too. Two of them even. One that acted as the same OTP app as mobile, and one that somehow synced the clipboard when copying an OTP code on your mobile app, so it was immediately available on the Mac.

I always assumed that last one was redundant with Continuity that does exactly the same thing, natively, on the Mac though...
