What are you referring to? The aforementioned UF6 canisters were a) NOT designed for long-term holding, more adapted from existing HF storage canisters (you can read some of the fun of storing fluorine compounds in the book "Ignition!" about liquid-fueled rockets), and as mentioned b) high level nuclear waste is vitrified to turn it into a non-volatile, non-dissolving, ceramic material that is largely stable by itself.

> ... 30000 years of facility maintenance costs ...

There are a variety of unused mines that could house high-level waste; the excavation is already done, thus fairly cheap. We are already factoring in storage of the fuel in casks, because it already is being stored in casks. The missing part is transport (hence the article, which is still kinda silly as the casks were designed to be trucked).

If a nuclear waste cask gets hit by planes, trains, or automobiles, not much will happen. [1] If an ordinary tanker car falls off the tracks, it's like an improvised chemical warfare attack. [2]

I think it depends a lot on the kid and the parent, I am teaching my daughter since she was 10, and I try to spend time every day doing something, you can see our progress here: https://github.com/jackdoe/programming-for-kids/blob/master/...

It is difficult because I have to compete with snapchat and google/meta for her attention, and school is quite exhausting. Snapchat has this super annoying 'streaks' and the more friends you have the more streaks you have to keep alive, so you have to send like 400 messages per day.. its non stop. I teach her that there are 100_000 developers and psychologists and product owners and etc, that they go to work every single day thinking how to extract the most value out of her attention, and she has to constantly be aware of what is the "algorithm" making her do.

Unix Pipes she got quite quickly, but doesn't use often, but the idea of one program reading another program's output she got. Also grasping the command line was not that difficult. But I used quite some tricks to help. For example her windows PC I change the shell from explorer to cmd.exe, so it boots in cmd, so she has to navigate and also fix it. I also make scavenger hunts on her filesystem so she has to look for a file using dir and cd and etc, also https://overthewire.org/wargames/bandit/ I bribed her with robux for passing each level of the bandit game

I want to teach her how computers work and how to make them do what she wants. From what is a register, to an instruction, to a program to a process. Kihon no Kihon as they say. But in the process I also teach her how to break things down and how to think and most importantly how to learn. I teach her about the heart of things, so there is no mystery between the keyboard press and the letter appearing on the screen, or how chatgpt predicts the next word (I am working on a RNN board game with 3 neurons and you have to teach it to count https://punkx.org/move-37/rnn.pdf [work in progress])

So in the end I am not sure if it matters what you teach your children :)
Can I ask why the employer wanted this of you? Were you compensated for your eminence embiggenment?
> The question isn't about mathematics, it's about psychology and politics.

That's valid, but when someone's roughly describing a plan I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and worry about whether it can be framed the correct way rather than whether they framed it right.

> In the second scenario, when do I get/spend my UBI money?

I don't know, every two weeks? So it's the difference between a $460 UBI check and a $400 paycheck, versus a $60 UBI check and an $800 paycheck.
Yeah... about that...

As well I think that would still leave you exposed for a civil suit, which even if you win, can be financially devastating. What would be needed is an anti-SLAPP type legislation at the state and federal level to mitigate it.
> I had been talking to the candidate for months and they had completed our entire interview panel. We’d had great conversations where I’d learned about their background and developed a sense for how they would fit in this role. Unfortunately, I had to tell them we would not be moving forward with an offer.

WAY too long a time period, and WAY too much time invested. And hopefully you'll never, never, ever need this candidate's good word or goodwill for anything - 'cause you'll have precious little chance of getting either.

Well done for just walking the walk.

Creating content with AI will surely be helpful for social media to some extent but I think it's not that important in larger scheme of things, there's already a vast sea of content being created by humans and differentiation is already in recommending the right content to right people at right time.

More important is the products that Meta will be able to make if the industry standardizes on Llama. They would have the front seat in not just with access the latest unreleased models but also settings the direction of progress and next gen LLM optimizes for. If you're Twitter or Snap or TikTok or compete with Meta on the product then good luck in trying to keep up.
It's not hard at all and it's actually what the second approach listed by the author shows:

class HasRecipient a where
get_receiver :: a -> PlayerId

which adjusted to your example would be

class Timestamped a where
timestamp :: a -> UTCTime

The problem with this approach is that you'll have duplicated data on all instances. In your example, `Quote` has the fields `timestamp` and `sender` in order to satisfy with `Timestamped` and `Msg`. If you had several classes like `Quote` and interfaces like `Timestamped` then you would end up with a lot of duplicated code.
Any idea how long is this rollout going to be? I still don't have access to it. (not that you're in charge of the rollout pace)

And when does Mephistopheles chime in? I’m fascinated by the idea of doping in general, and there seems to be two distinct kinds: 1) something that everyone is doing (e.g. EPO at the Tour de France or AAS in bodybuilding) and 2) something that will give you an actual edge. “Motor doping” seems to be an example of the latter.

It really boggles my mind that there are people who are capable enough to be in the competition and still decide to cheat in order to win. Not because it’s immoral or dishonourable or anything like that, but just because it’s so fucking lame.
Tangentially, it would be cool to just have sanctioned ebike races. We have motorcycles and cars, why not ebikes? I'd love to watch a high speed, no holds barred e-cyclocross/gravel/MTB race.
Given the existence of delicious foods not made of meat, the difference is one of law, and of which of the major world religions' ethical norms you follow.
It would be easier to agree with you if the welfare state didn't exist. As it stands there are benefits being paid to old people that don't really have any justification for existing if there isn't a younger generation for that old generation to positively influence and assist as grand parents. There are also tax breaks for marriage/common law that have no logical reason for existing if they aren't supporting a family. We should be redeploying these expenses to more effectively encourage a higher average birthrate, ideally by encouraging the rich to have a lot of kids, as this will have a positive benefit of more effectively disbursing large fortunes vs taxation that always fails.
Why not just have the Olympic host supply the same bike model to every participant rather than having each rider bring their own bike?
Yes, you're so wrong. I've had merchant accounts before, and there is clear wording about the negative impacts of chargebacks. I've even done a chargeback as a consumer, and they asked me if I had already been in contact with the seller before making a claim.

So the blind advice of making a chargeback claim before making a refund/RMA type of request with the seller is really out of order in the steps to take.
> Author says Rust wouldn't solve the crowd strike outage but then literally admits that it would have prevented it?

If a person who got claymored by a Takata airbag in a car crash had taken a different route the crash wouldn't have happened and the airbag explosion would have been prevented, but the actual problem still exists and is waiting for some other thing to trigger it.

That's the point the article is making, yes Rust would probably have prevented this specific exact incident but the actual problem that led to this is Crowdstrike's apparent lack of testing and staged release processes for these channel files which could just as easily have triggered some other bug that Rust would not necessarily have had any impact on.
FCC Revamps Its Mobile Speed Test App
Nah, this kind of agitprop is not what any OS needs to succeed.

If $whatever were the dominant platform today, the number of incompetently-coded-but-mandatory-in-many-sectors kernel extensions would be, best-case, exactly the same as it is for Windows today, with pretty much the same outcomes (i.e.: generally not much, with entertainingly spectacular outliers like, well, Crowdstrike).

For $whatever to be actually better in a meaningful sense of the word, it would need to:

-Have a market share that, if not equivalent to that of Windows today, at least makes ISVs pay attention. This is really, really hard: not because "M$ controls all the hardware vendors historically and forever", but because hardware is an extremely low-margin business, and the room for experimentation is minimal...

-Similarly: most OS sales are to enterprises, and they have certain control issues that need to be addressed. "All that Active Directory (or whatever Microsoft marketing chooses to call it this decade) does" is a good starting point. Yes, this "compromises user freedom", bot possibly not in the way you think...

-Finally: in order to lock down kernel-mode access, offering user-mode APIs that are both completely fail-safe as well well as fool-proof for 80%, if not better, of use cases is mandatory. The engineering effort required to achieve this would most likely look a lot like that involved with, say, AWS, Azure or Google Cloud, with, say, similarly impressive results?
Indeed learning from experience, with just a few hints to fall back on, tends to stick better. I think it might be so because the feedback loops introduced are positive as well as negative. You can't learn how to hold your fork without learning in which ways your food tumbles off.
You were making claims that a particular technology does not work, and the other poster was ribbing you by playing along with that thought in a way that suggests the technology actually does exist and works. They did not put words into your mouth, but they did give specific examples of technology to highlight their point.
I think the most important part of getting "real" engineered meat to market, even if it's hella expensive is it again shifts the conversation.

Once people consider an engineered meat, they might consider an enhanced mycelium for a tenth the price for their daily protein requirements.

I think all these products will develop over time but engineered meat will always have cost against it. Too many sensitive processes.

The article seems to gloss over the most appalling fact of the destruction of Warsaw: that it was not caused by combat or bombing, but that it was demolished, building by building, by nazi troops already on the ground, simply as an act of reprisal for the Polish uprising.

LinkedIn was never perfect. It worked for some who had extensive people networks to bring to the platform, but the platform itself was always hot garbage. I still tell younger folk about the days when they would spam your entire address book. I'm still seen as the loony in my peer circle for having no LinkedIn presence. It's an industry standard of hot garbage.

The challenges of working out how many CPUs your program can use on Linux
Maybe an additional "lower resolution" index on top of the map could help as a heuristic to skip whole regions, then using the map to double check possible matches. I have a rough idea that I think could possibly work:

Maintain the sum of booked time within each coarser time bucket, e.g. 1 hour or something (ideally a power of two though so you can use shifts to find the index for a timestamp), and keep that in a flat array. If you're looking for a slot that's less than 2x the coarser interval here, e.g. a 90-minute one, look for look for two consecutive buckets with a combined sum <= 30 minutes. 2 hours or more is guaranteed to fully overlap a 1 hour bucket, so look for completely empty buckets, etc. These scans can be done with SIMD.

When candidate buckets are found, use the start timestamp of the bucket (i*1hr) to jump into map and start scanning the map there, up to the end of the possible range of buckets. The index can confidently skip too full regions but doesn't guarantee there's a contiguous slot of the right size. I don't have a great sense of how much this would filter out in practice, but maybe there's some tuning of the parameters here that works for your case.

Updates should be relatively cheap since the ranges don't overlap, just +/- the duration of each booking added/removed. But it would have to deal with bookings that overlap multiple buckets. But, the logic is just arithmetic on newly inserted/deleted values which are already in registers at least, rather than scanning parts of the map, e.g. if you wanted to maintain the min/max value in each bucket and support deletes.

A very strong empirical statement about the nature of reality, and a strong statement about the nature of mathematics, neither of which everyone agrees with! (What will your reply be if we discover a halting oracle at the centre of the galaxy? Mathematics doesn't forbid that: the Church-Turing thesis is an empirical statement, and it's the empirical scientific law of induction which is what tells us that we're extremely unlikely to find a halting oracle.)

But you've missed the point: even assuming that mathematics can perfectly model the universe, you cannot use weak physical hypotheses ("human brains are finite, there is an injection from human mind-states into human brains") and fully general mathematics (the pigeonhole principle) to derive such specific strong truths as "a particular human mind-state is repeated in a predictable way in the universe". You can at best derive general truths such as "at least one human mind-state is repeated at least once, somewhere", if the universe happens to have its physical parameters set in such a way that the pigeonhole principle holds.

The point is every country has spies everywhere, just go to nearest embassy.

Yes he operated a site that hosted cracked software. How does this support your narrative he was a spy or that it was espionage instead of for personal financial gain?

Let’s have a read of the first paragraph

>The individual operated a website used to distribute more than $100 million worth of pirated software around the world, making it one of the most significant cases of copyright infringement ever uncovered – and dismantled

Why don’t you quote this paragraph of your source?

>The investigation revealed that Li used the Crack 99 website to distribute pirated or cracked software to customers all over the world, including the United States

It’s a hard sell spinning this into espionage.
>This is how we’ve managed security on our social networks – our more robust AI systems identify and stop threats from less sophisticated actors who often use smaller scale AI systems.

Nobody has ever shown that Cancellara was cheating there. Maybe he's just a monster. When Joop Zoetemelk casually disappeared from the front of the pack in the 1985 World Cycling Championship nobody could believe it because Joop was 40 years old. Nevertheless, he did it, and there was no stealth motor technology at the time.

The CA did not forget the certificate if it's in their CT logs. The whole point of CT (unlike OCSP) is to make it impossible for a CA to forget what they've signed. If they forget to put a certificate in their CT logs, then the cert isn't valid. Anyone can download and retain copies of the logs, because they're signed and hash treed. Removing a cert after-the-fact is about as disruptive as editing Git history on Linus Torvalds' tree, meaning it will be incredibly obvious that the CA is trying to lie about what they signed.

The reason why OCSP forgets about certificates is that it was never intended to make CAs permanently remember every cert they ever signed. It was intended to replace CRLs with something less resource-intensive, except they screwed up the design, so it's now just a data siphon that provides little protection.
So an extremely niche and stylized web-based Hypercard.

Odd, but Hypercard WAS damn near the pinnacle of empowering software for normal people.
I'm not sure I follow. Natural languages usually have very simple syntax. The Greeks had great literature while still in "boustrophedon with no whitespace" phase.

The number of possible symbol meanings may be unbound. And there may be symbol definition rules so that any effective symbol set used to write a text is still plausibly an alphabet. Chinese actually does fit the bill if you are allowed to define new valid characters according to best practices.

tree-sitter is very generic and supports so many languages, it is really great. The first use case of the article, "Level 1: Irrelevant Whitespace" is covered by diffsitter.

I wanted at some point, to diff files and ignore comments for Rust source code. I wrote a small program, to remove the two different comment nodes the Rust grammar defines: line_comments and block_comments. Then i diffed the resulting uncommented code using diffsitter.

From start to finish, writing the program and testing it to many different files it took 5 hours.

It typically helps with recruitment in my experience.
- Not having skip levels

- Not having a manager development program

- Not having retros for engineering processes (e.g. does our 80% coverage rule still make sense, should Jenkins be our job runner, etc.)

- Reaching into individual teams to micromanage ICs

- Trying to step in for deficient line management without context or relationships

- Not having an IC development program

- Not hiring ICs/managers smarter/more experienced than they are

- Trying to solve problems by having engineers "do better", rather than designing and implementing better processes

- Being extremely cheap on the one hand (cloud spend) and extremely profligate on the other (engineer hours on undifferentiated work)

- Requiring coding interviews

- Being reticent to fire underskilled or toxic engineers

- Having no root cause analysis process
Do you really need to read MS source code to figure out that it has a kernel module loading mechanism?
Different riders have different preferences, and there's a lot of money and technology that goes into improving the bikes every year (or at least every decade). The materials, the construction, the electronics, the aerodynamics, the fit, the saddle, the tires... they're all constantly evolving. It's like car races, manufacturer sponsorship is a huge part of it, and the races in turn advertise those bikes.

Would it make for more equal footing if everyone had the same model? Yeah, probably, but does that happen elsewhere in the Olympics? Does the host supply skis, shoes, bows, bobsleds, etc.?
