> ...held in spent-fuel pools and/or moved to decommissioned facilities...

Nuclear fuel is usually stored in dry casks on-site at running or decommissioned power plants. "Decommissioned" doesn't mean abandoned, there is still ferocious security present. No dry casks have ever been found to leak, or have been damaged intentionally or accidentally since they came into use in 1986. [1]

> ...tanks filled with UF6...

UF6 is a gas that reacts with water to form a corrosive acid. The fact that it's mildly radioactive is gilding the lily, as exposure to it would be pretty similar to any reactive fluorine compound and/or heavy metal (think mine waste). It's a problem, but UF6, a gas, is the polar opposite of dry cask storage, where even if the contents of a cask were sat in the open, they'd just sit there because they're vitrified (mixed into a glass).

> ...concrete disposal facilities...

Is this something related to nuclear energy? I don't know what this is referring to.

> ...3 filled disposal facilities

Improving Tiptap's Performance for Anthropic's Claude Interface
Hi, I'm Philip from Tiptap. We recently discovered that Anthropic is using our open-source editor for their claude.ai interface. While we're thrilled about this, we noticed some performance issues, even on high-end hardware like the M3 MacBook Pro. We've identified the causes and want to share our findings and solutions.

As developers ourselves, we understand the challenges of integrating rich text editors into complex applications. When we saw the sluggish performance in Claude's interface, we knew we had to investigate.

Our senior engineer, Nicholas (HN username: nickthesick), dug into the implementation using Chrome Dev Tools. Here's what he found:

1. For every keystroke in the editor, there were two renders of the PromptInput component.

2. There a couple of extensions with the same name as reported in the Dev tools console (this can be resolved by making extension have a name property)

3. On every update of the editor, the editor is converted from HTML into markdown even though the user has not submitted their prompt yet.

Here's how to address them:

- With the latest release of Tiptap 2.5, you can now get much more performance out of your editor, if integrated correctly, there should only ever need to be the initial render of the editor & no re-renders on keystrokes. See our guide here for more information and an example: https://tiptap.dev/docs/guides/performance#react-tiptap-editor-integration

- Consider converting the editor content to markdown only on submission, right now it seems like it is causing an extra re-render by having to setState with the new markdown. If this is not possible, consider using a ref since this should be outside of react’s rendering cycle.

- Prior to Tiptap 2.5, a render of the component that called useEditor would have to completely re-initialize the editor, now it can reuse the editor instance which should make it less sensitive to re-renders but it is still recommended to reduce the amount of re-renders as possible to ensure a smooth typing experience

We're sharing this not to criticize, but to help. We're users and fans of Claude ourselves, and we want to see it perform at its best. We're always happy to assist fellow developers in optimizing Tiptap integrations.

We'd love to hear your thoughts on these findings. Have you encountered similar issues? Do you have other optimization strategies to share? Let's discuss how we can improve the developer experience for rich text editing in AI interfaces.
Avatax is amazing
This amounts to saying doctors should be forced to perform procedures they believe are not in the best interests of their patients, go against conscience, or expose them to significant litigation risk.
The "maintained" refers to `exa`, which is also written in Rust.

Rust binaries are static, which means they need to be rebuilt when security fixes are published on one of their dependencies.

Without active development to at least update, the static binary becomes a liability.

On another note, the developers on exa did explicitly say the project was unmaintained:

I disagree, it is 100% racism. See, you're talking about DEI and it's merits instead of how in this context there is no reason to even bring up DEI. The point of me mentioning this is for people like you who think they just disagree with DEI, that isn't the case. The far right is using "DEI" to mean n-word just like they did with the whole "woke" thing. Look at Kamala Harris, and how they're calling her a DEI VP/nominee or the USSS chief being a woman and them saying it's because of "DEI", and look at the post history of the people that are saying this and then tell me they are not racists substituting n-word or any other "you know what I really mean" slurs with "DEI".

Imagine if any minority or woman was involved in any crowdstrike team that had anything to do with this outage and consider how the DEI debate is being raised in that context. If those people are hired, does it make them a DEI hire by default? of course not! that is silly, that's not even what DEI is. It is a slur in this context, nothing short of it.

I wouldn't be saying this if DEI was in any way relevant to the topic at hand, then we can discuss how DEI was to blame. Honestly, I don't even agree with the corporate approach of DEI, but bringing it up in this context would indeed be racism. Imagine making a mistake and someone say "this is what you get for allowing white privilege" is that fair? is that not racism? that's what's happening here. Everyone deserves fair treatment.
I'm not sure why a rock or piece of wood is the bar here. The fact is nearly no-one in the Americas would call or describe Sub-Saharan Africans as Intelligent.

Thomas Jefferson who generally seemed to oppose slavery says this in his book, "Notes on the State of Virginia" (1785):

"In general, their existence appears to participate more of sensation than reflection."

"Comparing them by their faculties of memory, reason, and imagination, it appears to me that in memory they are equal to the whites; in reason much inferior, as I think one could scarcely be found capable of tracing and comprehending the investigations of Euclid; and that in imagination they are dull, tasteless, and anomalous."

Doesn't even sound like he's talking about the same species. We can scarcely agree on the intelligence of other humans. Let's not even get into the topic of animals.

So the idea that intelligence will manifest and we'll all just see it and agree...Yeah No.
Maybe, but the definition of the term dates back to 1986 by Harry Frankfurt.

https://www2.csudh.edu/ccauthen/576f12/frankfurt__harry_-_on...

It still seems like the term in its 1986 definition is a good fit for what we currently use Hallucination to describe.
Sounds like a pretty typical founder.
This is like saying politicians can publish their lobbyists.
For what it's worth, the comment score that I can see is oscillating between 0 and 2, so if it's showing greyed out, that may just be an indication that it's a polarizing comment.

I totally agree with your second paragraph.
To this end I made a simple script, `latest`, which is, essentially, `ls -lt $@ | head`.

So, `latest *.log`, etc.

Other than that, simple autocomplete does a lot of my ls work for me.
Systolic array computing - most transistors in any given computer are just waiting, only a tiny fraction of memory is in use at any given instant.

It's possible to use them far more efficiently, thus getting better performance.
I used Nim in several projects in the past. The language has much to love, but the tooling is awful. If you're fine coding using JOE/Nano/Pico, then I would say: go for it, you'll surely enjoy the experience! But if you are accustomed to IDEs to do refactoring/automatic formatting/test execution/logging/etc., it's better to look somewhere else. Even basic functionalities in the VSCode extension are buggy.
Junk food is convenient and more enjoyable, at least in the moment of eating. In the last 60 years there have been changes to the environment that reduce physical activity (more automobiles, less walking, less strenuous physical labor on the job) but I think that the most relevant change is the abundance of highly palatable calories. 60 years ago we largely didn't have "convenience foods" and the fastest snack you could make yourself (like a cold sandwich or a piece of fruit) didn't have the "craveability" of Doritos or microwaveable egg rolls. Back then the average American could afford to buy far more calories than needed, but those calories would take prep labor and/or not be highly palatable, so in practice many fewer Americans overate buttered popcorn the way that people overeat Doritos today.

America was on-average wealthier than most of the world and an early adopter of highly palatable convenience foods, so its obesity problem came on earlier. Global obesity rates are rising as more people globally can afford microwave ovens, frozen pizzas, drive-through restaurants serving french fries, and other such aids for high speed ingestion of delicious, calorie-dense foods.

Most people who need to lose weight cannot willfully maintain diet alterations in the long term. They go back to old habits. For 99.9% of human existence starvation was a much more common health threat than obesity and we're just not "wired" to experience excess food intake as a threat. The GLP-1 drugs like semaglutide reduce the desire to overeat, regardless of how palatable the food is, so people who could not lose weight before are able to eat less without having to consciously suppress desire every day.
Why question a human’s innate desire to raise their own off-spring like we’ve evolved to do for millions of years?

So often people chime in with the “just adopt” and while I agree in a perfect world, that’s exactly what would happen, but in reality it goes against a very fundamental part or human nature to opt to raise someone else’s child instead of your own. It just completely misses the human element of why people are so naturally driven have kids and families to begin with.

It's rare but some people work in co-ops. Though I guess you could say they are not doing "employed work"?

People say stuff like this a lot, my guess is that you don’t fly airplanes. The fact that the airplane gets lighter as it burns fuel is kind of important and is used to simplify airplane design a lot (check out the difference between MTOW and MLW of a 777) . Batteries don’t get lighter.
What upset me was not the trolling, they say the actual hard-r n-word all the time on twitter with no consequence. It is them actually going into technical details and then using that slur.

At this short of distance it would be slacking off. However if you watch his world breaking run (vid below) to me it appears he's likely not doing that.

Personally would argue these guys do this same sprint/distance so many times in practice/competition that they generally implicitly know when they're running a WR type time and generally don't slack off (in this video he's not in any threat of being caught but still presses on for the WR).

Capital letter `Void` reminds me of how Java uses the object type `Void` for this purpose, as all reference types allow null.
Let's walk this through: Canary deployment to Windows machines. If those Windows machines got hit with BSOD, they will go offline. How do you determine if they go offline because of Canary or because of regular maintenance by the customer's IT cycle?

You can guess, but you cannot be 100% sure.

What if the targeted canary deployments are Employees desktops that are OFFLINE during the time of rollout?

>I’m out of the loop if this crowdstrike update was such a scenario where best practices for software deployment were worth bypassing.

I did post a question: what about other Cybersecurity vendors? Do you think they do canary deployment on their AV definitions?

Here's more context to understand Cybersecurity: https://radixweb.com/blog/what-is-mean-time-to-detect

Cybersecurity companies participate in Sec evaluation annually that evaluates (measure) and grade their performance. That grade is an input for Organizations to select vendors outside their own metrics/measurements.

I don't know if MTTD is included in the contract/SLA. If it does, you got some answer as to why certain decision is made.

It's definitely interesting to see Software developers of HN giving out their 2c for a niche Cybersecurity industry.
I agree with you on Markdown tables. They're pretty horrendous to write by hand. I wonder if there's an alternative that would be easier? Maybe something that's essentially a CSV embedded in a Markdown file? I'm sure CSV has some edge cases that could be a problem, but it's probably a decent 80/20 (or better) solution if you just want to make a quick table by hand.
I think it would be cool to know your main digital property or some other way to connect - so folk who want to help could reach out.
As programmers I think its hard to understand why others buy what we would sometimes build. But you all deeply underestimate yourselves! I'm also guilty of this as well. It is expensive to a business to do all those steps, to say nothing about the expertise to know what steps to take! For early-stage companies it makes sense to offload these tasks to tools, but as your company grows the cost-calculus shifts in favor of bringing the expertise in-house.

To take several numbers and examples from other threads, if you simply train on a technology for a week (40 hours) at $50/hour (@ $100,000 TC), that's $2000 for that week. Compare and contrast to some of the services ($1,200/year, $10K/year for SAML, etc) and you can begin to see the order(s) of magnitude difference between these "expensive" tools compared to a relatively "inexpensive" developer. From a business perspective, it can be a better ROI to have your developers work on products and buy the Operations.
Again, no one is starving.

There is shortages of certain goods, yes. Starvation? No.
> Take away the glory and meaning from the basic acts of living among your peers and you will end up with large swaths of people who do enough to get by, and not much more.

This is exactly how I feel. Sure, my life is comfortable, but at the same time it's so small and pointless, which leaves me completely unmotivated. Why do anything if nothing matters.
Yep, it's very important to recognize these things still happen today and are not remnants of the past. It was maybe a few ago that people were being sold into slavery somewhere in Africa. There's something like 30-40 million people trafficked worldwide, not sure how many are sex slaves or how many are children. I think we're all aware of what's happening in Ukraine and Palestine. For those of us living in the United States, it feels like we may be just months away from living in an fascist authorization dictatorship... of sorts.

The problems of the past are very much still with us today.
Yes. Democracy is a gang-rape. Better than most systems although I think maybe Hoppe was right. .
If you have electricity and water you can make H2 gas. Storing it is quite costly, so you probably want to make it on demand (like the Hybrit project will do).
I don't buy it... didn't a bug from RedHat + Crowdstrike have a similar panic issue? I understand in that case it was because of RedHat, but still. I don't think this, by itself will change much.
It's no joke, really. I worked on a product (B2B, not consumer software) that was primarily sold in the US and Germany. Not only did we leave the product in American English, but the Germans requested that we force all numeric inputs/outputs to use American formatting (period for decimal point, comma for thousands separator, even on computers configured for German formatting). To them, it was American software and thus it made sense for it to be in American English. Their English was certainly better than our German.
> Things like economies can't grow like that

says who?

if i were born and living in the 1500s, how could i predict the economy would soon grow 10%/year for over a century?

you're just stating things like facts which have never been predictable. nothing about our current growth was inevitable, neither is a gigantic slowdown.

i think these kinds of predictions are:

1. far more difficult than we realise

2. so difficult that there is almost no value in making them.
I think it's not correct to say that void is a monotype in C++, because the compiler won't allow you to assign the result of a function marked void to a variable, and you cannot declare a variable of type void.

I'd accept that it's not the same as the empty type though, given that void* can be occupied and functions marked void can return. Probably someone with more type theory than me can name this properly
How do you imagine villages actually worked? An extremely common way was that the entire village would be owned by one man who would collect rent from all of the villagers.

To be fair, all apps from the App Store are sandboxed, including on macOS. Some apps that want/need extra stuff are not sandboxed, but still use Gatekeeper and play nice with SIP and such.

FWIW, according to Activity Monitor, somewhere around 2/3 to 3/4 of the processes currently running on my Mac are sandboxed.

Terrible dev experience or not, it's pretty widely used.

the reality is, most kids you can adopt are severely messed up, due to drug use of parents or poor eating/nutrition of parents.
A downhill where a road bike can reach that speed is pretty normal. I reach those nearly every day on my to work commute and I live in Iowa - there is a reason we are known for being flat so if I can find a hill to reach those speed surely anyone else can too. Of course I am riding a road bike, kids and mountain bikes may have limitations (tires?) that slow them down.

Reaching those speeds on level ground doesn't seem possible for a normal human, but level ground is rare.
It's an open secret that "cheating" (i.e. not having both feet planted) is ubiquitous, to the point that since 1996 the official rule is now "not naked-eye visible loss of contact, or visibly bent knee". You can watch any slow-motion video of racewalkers and they seem to lose contact on every stride.

This is true only in the sense that pain is "not the same thing" as what Americans typically call "bread". Or in other words, complete nonsense.

No American would hesitate to call Italian ice cream "ice cream", nor would any Italian hesitate to call American ice cream "gelato". Each term includes the other one.
If you looked at the source paper, they do the same analysis on "couple sharing unit", which doesn't have this problem. Confusingly, their definition of "couple" also includes singles, so genZ getting married later or whatever isn't an issue either.

and the equal-split income of the individual and their spouse if married.

For a bit of scale on what we know the human leg can handle without breaking: the best drug tested, sleeves-only squat in the world is 490 kg (Ray Williams IPF Worlds 2019). Drop the drug testing and add multi-ply squat suits and the record is 590 kg (Nathan Baptist, UPA Utah Kick Off Meet 2021). Granted: these are two-footed squats and you run with one leg at a time.
It is very impressive :)

> Aboard the ISS, the issues with baking in particular are a question of power. The entire station runs on about 75 to 90 kilowatts per hour of electrical bandwidth. Silicon Valley Power estimates that a conventional electric oven uses 2.3 kilowatts, which is about 3 percent of what’s available on the ISS. Heating and cooling are both just extremely energy-expensive.

> So a conventional electric oven will probably never find a place on a spacecraft.

So the ISS has a usage range 75 to 90kw, and the oven needs 2.3...and that makes it a no-go? The ISS crew is only 7; it's not like you'd need multiple ovens to feed all of 'em. And for most foods, you can time your cooking to have direct sun on the solar arrays (vs. using battery) for >90% of the energy that the oven will need.
Rating sounds good. I intentionally didn't build it for this version, because I wanted to stay lean + really dial on our value proposition (finding partners).

> That's why private trackers are the best

After almost a decade on private trackers (used to carefully ensure to seed from my laptop even in college when I didn't have much Internet hours or home connection during my early career as it was too costly) and remaining a model citizen I was finally banned by admin(s) of a top tracker for "suspected" fraudulent activities or cheating. That is it. Suspected and banned. Suspected where? On an unrelated social media site because I respectfully criticized a tracker.

When people say private trackers are by teens or (wo)man-teens with extremely fragile egos I always thought it was nuts until I came across some. They are really trigger happy and touchy.

I made peace with it. Slowly let all go of all the accounts. Just let it be. I first thought I will reach out to them for a/c deletions etc, but then I thought it was not worth it. Besides it's all a "seedbox dump" (I had one during my last 5-6 years there, so yeah I am guilty as well) and there's no community. Hoard and seed and hoard and seed and no talking about it and if you talk you always have to walk on egg shells. So it has not been the same. Not since the days of WCD; and that too is a maybe.
