Your parent comment is alluding to how "we" have to win every time (the proposal is made) but "they" only have to win once (because once surveillance exists its extremely hard to undo).

Thats not democracy. Democracy isn't one side wins - it's the means by which societies balance the needs and contributions of everyone. Valuing the "needs" of spy agencies and corporations over the rights of natural people is the opposite of democracy.

This means that it was implicitly voted upon and rejected by the people, therefore it should not be put up for a vote again.

I'm cautiously optimistic that AI may be a peacemaker, given how woke and conciliatory the current LLMs are.
I don't think it's a huge shock that 400W of solar panels and a 2000Wh LiPo battery could keep an RPi running indefinitely. With just trivial tuning on the RPi we're looking at a week or two just to drain the battery. The RPi's consumption and the self-discharge rate are not too dissimilar.

I think I have the gear to set up the solar panels into a controller that offers a USB output without the 2000Wh battery, and could set it up into a far more reasonable USB power bank, though I'm not sure I have one that can be charged at the same time as it discharges. It's still a day minimum for an RPi to discharge one of those with a touch of tuning, and far less than a day to recharge them.
Can you think of literally any law in modern times that granted a government significant power, yet was proactively reversed (as opposed to the handful of laws that were made with time limitations and allowed to expire)?

I got the opposite impression of the article that it was mostly about the fact that companies thought they needed to be to theoretical and academic and in fact taking advantage of AI should be looked at very practically. Granted it’s a long article and he makes lots of points, but I felt like most of the part of section 4 was that you don’t need to implement it yourself and gluing libraries together was probably the right tack, and that most companies were ignoring this in the gold rush of “AI good”.
It's not called democracy, democracy just means rule by commoners (the demos.) It's called parliamentary democracy. And there are not only many alternatives, but also multiple types of parliamentary democracies, of which the EU is just one.

Wouldn't you consider this advice disrespectful to the original authors as well? The FSF is directly telling you to take the existing project, not even your own re-implementation, and take over and GPL it.
Couldn’t disagree more. It’s wonderful having the same module syntax on server and client.
It seems very difficult to square this testimony (that Fujistu only remotely tampered with accounts in co-operation with the Post Office), with the core defence of a number of post office staff (that Fujitsu categorically refuted any suggestion they could alter accounts). It also seems... bizarre that he can claim he was unaware that prosecutions were being carried out.
Thorium 232 is barely fissile - it has a net negative neutron balance during fission. Uranium-233 is similarly neutron absorbing (half the time).

So you can’t run a reactor with just Thorium 232, and maintaining a decent fuel balance can be tricky once you start due to odd fission neutron ratios between the parent fuels and daughter products and long time delays (half life wise) until you get Uranium-233. About 30 days half life.

Certainly not impossible, but pretty awkward compared to other options.

Show HN: 80 Micro SaaS Ideas, 140 keywords to target
Hey HN.

Let's be honest, it's hard to find good startup ideas. You could be walking down the road and a great startup idea might pop into your head. You get so excited about it and can't stop thinking about it so you build it, only to find that nobody actually wants it. Months pass by and your still at $0 MRR. Nobody wants that.

The best way to find startup ideas is to find ones that have SEO potential. Here’s the thing, people search on Google to have their problems solved. If you can get your product into the top 10 on Google then you are guaranteed to get traffic to your website.

That's why I created a database of over 80 Micro Saas Ideas that all have SEO potential. I wanted to create a place where people could find startup ideas easily and remove the hassle and time wasted on trying to find profitable ideas.

Hope you enjoy!

The claim would be that prices rise, offsetting the cost to the consumer who are also workers. It does not do much if that is how it shakes out. The stated hope of those arguing for the raise is that the people at the top of the company make a lot of money and that money would be diverted to the workers. While I am sure that happens sometimes, I am not aware of evidence that this is often the case.

The $10 a burger price increase would be a stupid prediction unless the worker just sells one burger an hour and nothing else. If an employee's share of the selling amounted to, say, 10 burgers an hour on average, then a $1 price increase on burgers would counter the wage raise.

> I do not understand why organizations like Exxon-Mobil and the American Chemistry Council are promoting it.

Because if you start to look at plastics by what has to be done with them after they're consumed, they don't make sense as a common consumer product* anymore. And if they don't make sense as a common consumer product, then there's fewer people lining up to buy Exxon Mobil's plastic stocks, which are made of oil. Since Exxon Mobil is a company that exists to transfer value to shareholders via the extraction and processing of hydrocarbons, this is a problem. The ACC is made up of scientists and engineers that work for companies like Exxon Mobil.

* common consumer product meaning that it's used in places for broad public use where alternatives such as aluminum or wood are viable, like beverage cans.
I think the module imports apis are a python2/3 moment for node.js ecosystem. There is no clearly superior way and as a consequence not too many people care, however it hurts for real.

The proposal to disable node.js style imports will just split ecosystem and make a large part of industry stick to ancient version / make a fork. Is that really worth the gain? Just check how long it took some bigger projects to migrate from python2 to python3

Thermodynamically combustion of pyrolysis products does not, cannot, use more energy than it produces. If it did, plastic would not burn. Plastic burns, hence pyrolysis is a net energy source. [1]

That's not to say it makes sense. Myself, I'm in favor of a high temperature burn of plastic + scrubbers + insane taxes on halogenated polymers + insane deposits on fluorinated polymers -> to keep the flu stream clean.

[1] pyrolysis itself is endothermic, clearly, since polymerization is extothermic. But the article you linked explicitly says burning pyrolysis by products which must, net, be exothernic

An other way of looking at it is pyrolysis is a necessary first step for plastic combustion hence the cycle is net exo

> In the end it’s impossible for us to even assess whether there is a reality out there.

Well, I'd say ontologically / phenomenologically it's basically a sure thing, though whether the nature and ontology of it is anything near what it is said to be is a very different matter!
I don’t know why people who risked their life to expose something a certain injustice (NSA surveillance in this case) that they had ample firsthand knowledge of, should be expected to sacrifice their life to expose every other injustice out there.
I hate this about that field. I had to scrounge up an external DVD drive from the garage, convert the images and load them onto a medical imaging app on my phone... so that I could show the doctor, who otherwise had to keep going back and forth to another room in the clinic to talk to the tech.

I don't understand why they can't just load it on a website (like MyChart) like any other lab data. The images are big (contains more than pixel data, like xyz layers and gamma) but still compressible.

I don't know if it's HIPAA or tradition, but it really bugs me that I have to keep a DVD drive around solely for imaging. It's like the situation with the IRS and faxing :(
> Were any of these big achievements side effects of creating nuclear weapons? If not, then they're not relevant to the issue.

I think so, yes. Resources are allocated in the most efficient way possible, because there are multiple actors who have the same power. Everyone having nuclear weapons ensured that no one wanted a war between the big powers, so resources were allocated in other areas as the big powers tried to obtain supremacy.

Initially they allocated resources, a lot of them, into the race for space, the moon, etc. Once that was own by US after the moon landing, and after the Soviets were the first in space, there was no other frontier, and they discovered they couldn't obtain supremacy by just being space without further advancements in technology.

Instead they developed satellites, GPS and communications in order to obtain supremacy through "surveillance". Computing power and the affordability of personal computing, mobile phones, Internet and telecommunications was a result of the above.

Implementing Deep Q-Network: A RL Beginner's Challenges and Learnings
Algorithmic decision making, which obliterates nuance and forecloses alternate futures, has been a part of every America’s personal life for almost 30 years, when display ads on the web began targeting users.

This technology is a new, personally accessible version of that.

This is not to say that we should not be alarmed at the potential abuse of this technology; it is to say that we should have been and should continue to be very alarmed, and always vigilant about carving out spaces to exist without this technology. It might be impossible to live a modern life without it, but that doesn’t mean we cannot or should not push back, take breaks, question.
Level 4 inherently means a limited ODD. That means there are conditions and situations in which they aren't allowed to operate. No one is even claiming that these vehicles operate safely in snowy conditions today, so why draw this specific line in the sand?

It's also worth noting that AV companies have done snow testing. Waymo specifically tests in Tahoe. None of that data is publicly available for us to even discuss, though.
It is a lie to one's self to say the Universe is built up of states. The Universe is the combined potential of existential being distributing itself across the negative potential of existential being (manifold vacuum if space, unresolved anything, every cold dark place.)

The path of atoms are not responsible for the determination of will. The buffer between individual atoms and who cares is great, and interchangeable based on the comforts of the willful.

Quantum uncertainty is the sieve of consciousness. Quantum uncertainty isn't just wavy lines, as a technology it is domain and potential and constructive/destructive interference. The hyperdimensionality of super-amplitudes is confused with uncertainty. As a technology, the quantum scope is an echo chamber that holographically renders all inputs simultaneously. This holographic simulation is a feedback sense. All of this technology may be developed by the willful mind and reshaped for its own end.

I have no doubt one could not begin seeing these patterns before they are suggested (how many lifetimes of grunts before we spoke plainly?), so ignorance and information are without doubt consequential.

Quantum uncertainty is not presently understood. It is more practical to say there is a super amplitude which may be "sussed" (against your every postulated rule that it cannot be.) you will see there is more information capacity than spin dispositions and the qubit will dead end.

True free will is that you can decide (or not) right now without cohersion, it doesn't mean everyone is good at it, not creatures of habit, or not easily tooled.

Having an illusionary singularity (singularium?) in your mind juggling decisions is a mental technology. Our mental technology is not all alike.

Will is the determination of resolve. The cost and consequences of our determination to resolve is something we all pay dearly for our entire lives .

I think that's being rather generous. Yes, the Post Office was culpable in their role pretending the software was infallible and pursuing Subpostmasters to such an extend, but Fujitsu were equally culpable. A number of Post Office people have testified that Fujitsu mis-represented the capabilities of the software, the fallibility and the access by Fujitsu staff. I'm sure there was a very juicy contract behind all this that drove the Post Office to pretend they hadn't spaffed away money on a broken system and for Fujitsu to cover up the shortcomings in an effort to avoid any financial penalties.
This is the advantage of being small enough to fly under the radar, more than the advantage of federation. It's also why Signal can get away with approaches that would have gotten any Big Tech player testifying in front of the Congress, with parents of kids killed by fentanyl or kidnapped by sex predators sitting right behind.

If your service becomes big and important enough, and if politicians hear enough from law enforcement and intelligence agencies that you're a major problem, then all of sudden, your "zero chance" becomes a "non-zero chance" if you ever need to travel to or through the EU, do any business there, etc.

Another case in point: cryptocurrencies. They were government-proof until they weren't, because ultimately, there are people running exchanges and mixers, as well as other counterparties, who can be threatened with prison and fines.

Both are sources of vulnerabilities, of course. But I believe a nice string interpolation implementation can allow for validation (like the java one did). That means that whenever you are working with texts, a library can enforce constraints that in the case of concatenation would have meant a domain specific API for each library.

My message isn't pick one over the other it is that whatever you pick, make sure it isn't a hack that people will regret using.

It refutes LCDM though. No DM halos could be responsible for this behaviour this far out. And this isn't the first time LCDM has been refuted by evidence before they tweaked it with yet more parameters/epicycles to make it fit.

It's been clear for awhile now that neither particle dark matter nor MOND are adequate explanations for observations. MOND clearly matches some data better and with fewer parameters (like this), and DM others, like cluster-scale lensing. New thinking is needed, and hopefully this paper will surprise people into taking MOND-like approaches a little more seriously.

The big issue with uranium hard rock mining is radium, radon, and similar daughter products. If you don’t care about, or are able to mitigate, the radioactive poisoning issues for workers, then it’s pretty straightforward mining wise.

[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium_mining_in_Canada]

The US southwest has tons of hard rock uranium mines, and they were very economic. And it’s still done that way in Canada in some places.

The US used to be a huge uranium producer [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium_mining_in_the_United...], and new mines are opening [https://www.mining-technology.com/news/three-new-uranium-min...] as prices improve again.

You can’t go much of anywhere in Arizona, Utah, etc. without running across old Uranium mines. There is even a big one on the Rim of the Grand Canyon within sight of the visitors center if you know where to look. This guy on YouTube is a reasonably responsible and informed explorer [https://youtube.com/@radioactivedrew]. They often look like hard tar like (dark and amorphous) deposits in the native sandstone.

Liquid extraction mines are ‘easier’ because humans don’t need to go into tunnels somewhere and hence be exposed to radon and similar contamination, but they’re a lot harder to actually extract uranium from. You can literally walk into a hard rock mine and just chip off a flake of pretty high grade ore. Lots of videos on YouTube of folks doing it. I’ve done it when out exploring. And yes, you need a Geiger counter and a good understanding of what is going on. I made a lead shielding box before finding my 5k CPM chip of ore, and validated that it worked.

I’ve heard of people finding 10k or even 15k CPM ore samples randomly lying around or exposed on walls of abandoned mines. Very few of these mines get the benefit of any signage (even a keep out sign) and I’ve never seen any with a sign warning of radiation. I just read some webpage when refreshing my memory which claimed uranium ores can have as high as 60k cpm of activity, which is nuts.

All of those are ‘Geiger counter continuously screaming at you and/or overlimit’ territory. Don’t carry them in your pants pocket or put them under your pillow and expect to have a good time. [https://youtu.be/CCrDcxz9gNk?si=rHOQKTYE4bf7raZE]

They’re mixed radionuclides, so make sure to have proper PPE, store safely, and follow decent decontamination/storage procedures. Don’t have a picnic inside or near any of these mines.

A lot of the older mines were before the actual risks were known or quantified. Naive radiation models didn’t take into account the risk from daughter products attached to dust properly - lung cancer rates were waaaay higher than expected based on raw radon or radiation measurements. like ‘5 packs a day of cigarettes smoking’ high even after just 5-10 years in the mines. [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium_mining_and_the_Navaj....].

Massive numbers of locals/natives ended up dying of lung cancer because of it, as they were the ones working those early mines. Whole towns and reservations were decimated.
