Not right? Breeder reactors are not some sort of perpetual-motion device. They create energy, which can be used for lots of things including more reactions creating tritium by a 'cheaper' route from lithium. Like we use petroleum to power drilling equipment to get more petroleum. The energy released is the part that makes it 'free'.

And isn't that 'four or five times' number, per reaction? Because deuterium and tritium are so much lighter than fissionable materials (by 10X) the energy per kg is truly 50X not 5X. Right?

I have clearly stated what i think they meant.

They specifically said "disadvantages compared to us." that heavily implies ( if not outright declares ) an us vs them.

Just do it in person. The voter fills out the ballot in front of the buyer, seals and signs the envelope, and hands it to the buyer in exchange for cash. The buyer then puts it in the mail on the voter’s behalf.

The voter could go to a polling place afterwards and attempt to cast a provisional ballot but my understanding is that this is difficult, varies significantly state to state, and in many cases is not possible given that mail in ballots are detached from the voter identity ahead of Election Day in many states.

That was more or less where I was going. Existing code is mostly hopeless, so, maybe, a dialect that makes more of the developer’s intentions explicit would provide enough for more checking. I don’t have evidence that Rust’s checking is why it’s slow, but I assumed it was a good guess.

Lasers are going to use far less energy than pesticides per plant killed.

A 20W laser (120W input) can cut 3/4th inch thick pine at 6 inches a minute. For burning through a young weeds stem you’re talking fractions of a second per plant. It’s likely the motor and other electronics ends up using more energy than the laser.

Mechanical methods are going to be a lot more complex and thus have significantly more maintenance issues.

> Objects with instance variables don't automatically mean the state is shared.

Agree, but JS's syntax and constructs are almost begging the user to encapsulate their state in classes and instances and share those instances between function calls, rather than passing the data itself around. This is very visible if you browse the various JS APIs as well.

Books all some from a much wider range of authors than things like TV. Many authors write about what they know and there are authors from all historical times, and all cultures (current or historical) - as well as imagined ones, of course. I think a strength of books is that they are more likely to require you to adjust to the point of view of the author or the characters, rather adjusting the characters to be easy for you to identify with. That builds more empathy.

Wondering how people have the audacity to try to talk to you in public when you _clearly have your headphones on!_ (just one of the things I've heard here) is not okay. Not for society, and not for you as an individual.

Just because society normalises this attitude, it doesn't make it right. We've also normalised buying things that last a couple of years, and not owning media we pay for. The frog boils slowly.

Let's not forget that a 7nm fab has a very limited period of usefulness for the likes of Apple etc. That leading edge is always moving forward and while it might be financially viable for some aspects of the process to be upgraded to the next node, that's not always the case and that's where TSMC's hundreds of other customers join in and the (now old) equipment can be still used for many more years.

Edit: But perhaps with the exclusivity deals, the likes of TSMC are less reliant on spreading the cost over 15+ years than they used to be. To be clear, I was talking about long-term use.
Sounds like me, I left a number of openbsd machines at a previous shop I worked at. I kept them updated, but based on the bewildering mishmash of linux distros and versions, there were a surprising number of sco boxes hanging around as well, their general philosophy was to set a box up for a task then never update it afterwards. So I expect all my obsd boxes are still there at exactly the same version I left them at.
I'd expect either a camera setup to find and kill weeds, or at least a basic weeder that sweeps the soil and avoids the vegetables the bot planted, same as you'd do on an organic farm. Instead what you get is an attachment you have to fiddle with and manually point towards the weeds. It's a toy.

Flame as an Early Fire Detector in Mines [video]
This was clipped from the 1965 training film, Magic of Fire (23 minutes), produced by the US Bureau of Mines. By the early nineteenth century it had become known that firedamp became explosive when the flammable gas concentration was between approximately 5 and 15% by volume. On 25 May 1812 an explosion occurred at Felling Colliery, near Gateshead-on-Tyne, killing ninety-two men and boys. Reports of the circumstances behind this accident had such an impact on a London barrister published proposals for the formation of a society to consider ways of preventing such incidents. Called the Sunderland Society its first meeting was held on 1 October 1813. The main result of their deliberations was the invention by Sir Humphrey Davy, working under their auspices, of his now famous flame safety lamp. Despite the introduction of flame safety lamps into coal mines, explosions of firedamp remained a significant problem. Although no formal accident statistics were collected at the time, the number occurring seemingly continued along a rising trend that had been apparent before the Sunderland Society began its deliberations. Responding to this, in 1834 a petition was introduced before Parliament requesting that action be taken to do something about the situation. In response the House of Commons set up a Select Committee to study the occurrence of accidents in coal mines. Over the next four years it is probable that over three hundred coal miners died in explosions. Despite this, still no official action was taken in an attempt to prevent such from occurring. In June 1839 fifty-two men and boys were killed in an explosion at St Hilda Colliery, County Durham.
I like the talk, and I think it explains the technology very well. I learned the term "slop".

Minor disagreement about the author's optimism regarding code generation:

> You shouldn’t need a computer science degree to automate tedious tasks in your life with a computer.

> For the first time in my career, it feels like we’ve got a tool which, if we figure out how to apply it, can finally help address that problem.

Well, OK, it would be nice if we could figure out a way.

But in my opinion, when you're trying to figure out how to make a task easy to automate for a user, you have to use a lot of judgment regarding what the user's goals are, what tasks can be automated, and what the scope of the task should be. These are not a strong suit of this technology. So, I am not hopeful regarding any general breakthrough.
No, that's painfully cringe.

Ideally you want both. “Trust” is a bit qualitative and includes a lot of factors outside the voting system itself. Just because a voting system is “simple” doesn’t mean people trust it (e.g. Trump voting shenanigans). Obviously just because there are bad actors which can make trust impossible, doesn’t mean you should give up but it is a separate axis to the voting system itself.

On the other hand, “verifiability” is a more useful property on a larger scale. You may trust your local government but do you trust local government in all other districts? What if, with sufficient knowledge you could prove that their voting was right or wrong? I think that also seems like a useful property.

Even if that's true, perhaps having a small-ish solar farm near the crops would allow the bots to recharge onsite?

The statically determined upper bound can vastly overestimate the actual runtime complexity in common cases, because it generally can’t predict how conditionals that lead to early exits in recursions will turn out.

Note: This assumes lazy evaluation, or short-circuiting conditionals, in order for early exits to affect the runtime, but that’s what you’d generally have in a practical language.

I have mixed feelings about this article. I agree with the sense of ignored crisis it points to, but also think it doesn't understand the problems with the solutions it recommends, or maybe misunderstands the sources of the problems, like you're saying.

Academics is different from finance maybe in that outside of outright fraud, things are murky. What one person considers "unscientific" another might consider perfectly reasonable or even rigorous, and vice versa. I've seen debates like this, where the two sides both consider the other unscientific and theoretically and methodologically unrigorous. I don't see the outright fraud as the core of the problems either, it's an extreme version of something that exists because of rotten incentive structures. Getting rid of it is akin to replacing the roof on a house that has rotten foundations: important, but not solving the problem.

The problems in academics can't be easily reduced to one thing. There's lots of extremely competent people working under a broken model of reality, one that assumes that such competence is rare rather than common, that progress is due to single individuals rather than collaborative groups, administrations looking for money from research rather than money for research, fame rather than truth, and so forth and so on. Then there's the other side of the coin, employers using degrees to avoid competent training and hiring, reducing people to specific degrees etc.

Increasingly I see the problems with academics as pervasive to society (at least US society), something deeper, just incentivized and maybe manifest more clearly because it's so broken when applied to academics. I don't think it's a coincidence that health care and academics have both seen huge inflation in the last several decades, for example, and are both huge sources of controversy in US society. I think the average people working in those fields are doing so in good faith, but I also think there's systemic pressures that create huge problems and bad actors in both, and there's enormous reluctance in both to change things because of power structures and poor understandings from the rest of society about what's going on.
Nothing will beat the paper with physical verification/monitoring of people from different parties with the details of the end results properly published for everybody to double check.

The only way to trust voting machines (which could be rigged before delivery), would be to physically watch which buttons the voters did press, and manually account it... which would violate the core rule of anonymity, that to avoid retaliation.
