The electricity prices argument is very simplistic. What drive electricity prices is very complicated, and sometimes misleading (in France, the low electricity price is a huge mistake, they are not collecting enough money for the medium and long term support of their infrastructure), and Germany is not worst than other country, even some with nuclear (Belgium, UK).

Sure, the Energiewende was a failure. It does not mean that 1) there is only one way to transition outside of nuclear (or that there is only one way to do nuclear: similarly pointing at the failure of France is not a good argument to reject nuclear pathways), 2) the situation has evolved and the advantages / disadvantages of the different generations are still the same.

I don't agree with everything in the article, but I also keep seeing pro-nuclear people having very very simplistic view on the situation. I prefer a lot people who are able to recognize the pro and the cons of all generation, without showing that they will minimize strongly the real facts that don't support what they want to hear. Nowadays in the energy sector, it is very very very clear that nuclear is, intrinsically, not competitive (not because of regulations, not because of ideology, just because it's an extremely complex enterprise). As long as the pro-nuclears continue to find bad excuses, I will agree that they are not reliable.
Yes, my previous bias was that I thought antisemitism was no longer popular in Europe. I was proven wrong.

Yeah, I have tried shortly a Minecraft VR mod on Oculus Rift.

(Shortly because I don't care about Minecraft, in fact I think that might have been the first time I even tried it ?)

This is partially true. You're right that the feature set is necessary, but it's now possible to do this in Postgres.

ParadeDB pg_search bundles Tantivy, a Lucene-inspired library inside Postgres, to give users the feature set (BM25 ranking, tokenizers, faceted search, etc.) while keeping the benefits of Postgres (keep your data normalized, avoid ETL, etc.)

Disclaimer: I work on ParadeDB
Windows 10 is end of life in one year. It only receives security updates. It hasn’t been receiving feature updates since Windows 11 came out, which was 3 years ago.

The velocity is in Windows 11, where control panel is being discontinued.

And on top of that, this idea that the settings app doesn’t contain all the same options is kind of ridiculous to me. Maybe it doesn’t if you’re still using Windows 10, the discontinued operating system. Maybe the settings app sucks if you’ve been too stubborn to keep your windows up to date with the latest releases.
> 99.9% of it will be correct, but sometimes 1 or 2 records are off. This kind of error is especially hard to notice because you're so impressed that Claude managed to do the extract task at all -- plus the results look wholly plausible upon eyeballing -- that you wouldn't expect anything to be wrong at all.

That's far better than I would do on my own.

I doubt I'd even be 99% accurate.

If it's really 99.9% accurate for something like this - I'd gladly take it.

It would’ve been nice if this post compared the costs of various energy sources per kWh, duration to bring capacity online, externalities related to energy sources (e.g. mass land use for solar, risk of plant failure for nucleae, etc.). That could’ve made it a very informative piece that might have convinced someone who was not already convinced. Instead it reads more as an ad hominem hit piece against nuclear proponents. We should be aiming to compare policies, not people.

I keep seeing people saying that kind of things, and at the same time, seeing _professional_ in the sector all agreeing that the way France managed their infrastructure was terrible.

It does not mean a nuclear pathway is not good. But it really makes you look very uneducated on the subject and very biased when you need to twist the reality that way.
Yup, we tried scraping IMDB for dates too to compare which method was easiest/best and it was spot on (and easier!). I guess the release dates are mentioned enough around the web that it has enough reference. It does use the US release dates for everything though which was one issue, but that’s almost always the first release for major movies anyway.

Do you not often quickly look between files? If so, odds are you're using tiles within tmux, vim, emacs, vscode, or something.

I use kakoune, which has a client/server architecture. Each kak instance I open within a project connects to the same server, so it is natural for me to use my WM (niri) to tile my terminals, instead of having something like tmux or the editor do the tiling for me.
I don't want to bother with more than one layer of WM, where separate layers don't mix.
I believe it’s going to become counter productive sooner than anyone might think, and in fairly frustrating ways. I can see a class of programmers trading their affinity with the skill for a structurally unstable crutch.

I was using Perplexity with Claude 3.5 and asked it how I would achieve some task with langchain and it gleefully spat out some code examples and explanations. It turns out they were all completely fabricated (easy to tell because I had the docs open and none of the functions it referred to existed), and when asked to clarify it just replied “yeah this is just how I imagine it would work.”

> This is borne out both by science - there is strong consensus that intelligence is highly heritable

That is again a simplification of reality, leaving out a lot of context and nuance.

1. You are right that research seems to indicate that intelligence is heritable, meaning that genetic factors play a role in individual differences in intelligence. Estimates of the heritability of intelligence typically range from 50% to 80%, depending on the study, age of the participants, and the methods used. I am guessing that this is where your "All other factors related to growing up will add up to less than half of that" remark comes from. However, that 50%-80% is in relation to the inheriting intelligence from the parents. It does not mean that it influence more than half of your intelligence. It also highly depends on the specific aspects of intelligence that is being measured.

2. If we are throwing in statements as borne out by science then you can't ignore that studies also show that factors such as education, nutrition, and socioeconomic status significantly impact cognitive development. In fact, some of the most critical periods for brain development occur in early childhood. Things like:

a) Prenatal environment: Factors such as maternal nutrition, stress levels, and exposure to toxins can affect fetal brain development.

b) Early childhood nutrition: Proper nutrition in the first few years of life is crucial for optimal brain development.

c) Stimulating environment: Exposure to a variety of experiences, toys, and learning opportunities in early childhood can enhance cognitive development.

d) Physical activity: Regular physical activity from an early age can promote brain health and cognitive function.

e) Parental interaction: The quality and quantity of interactions with caregivers, including talking, reading, and responsive care, significantly impact cognitive development from infancy.

f) I could go on for a while, but the picture should be clear enough.

Again, aptitude can be a thing. But all things considered, it is really not all that relevant when we are talking about the development of people and them learning things. Anyway, at this point your use of phrases like "cope" and a somewhat fatalistic view ("life isn’t fair") already suggests to me that you actually have no interest in actually expanding your view and scope on these matters. In fact, it could easily be seen as you arguing in bad faith. Which is ironic given we are talking about intelligence and aptitude to picking up things. So I suppose this reply is more for other people to read. I am certainly done with this conversation now. Regardless, have a good day :)

The problem is who is affected by the accidents.

For solar and wind the general public generally can’t be affected by any accidents so the deaths are general work place hazards coming from working aloft with heavy equipment.

For nuclear power the public is on the hook for cleanup fees from hundreds of billions to trillions of dollars and the large scale accidents we have seen caused hundreds of thousands to get evacuated.

It is not even comparable. If I chose to not work in the solar and wind industry my chance of harm is as near zero as it gets. Meanwhile about all consequences from nuclear power afflicts the general public. Both in terms of costs, injuries and life changing evacuations.

The playbook of trying to equate nuclear safety problems with the competition is quite sad to see because it relies on people only seeing a number. Not the real world implications of it.
I just started working on an engine for turn-based table-top games like Dominion, 7 Wonders, Catan, etc.

During university, I spent some time working on an AI agent to play Dominion, but a very large part of the work was building a way to simulate the game.

The goals are:

- Develop an engine that's efficient enough to use in simulations (for training AI agents or analyzing the game).
- Still emit events that can be used to visualize the current state of the game when real people are playing.
- Create primitives that are easy to distribute across a network for remote players/agents.

> What argument are you trying to make for VR?

That VR can provide a certain amount of immersive escape from the day to day. Just as the internet replaced certain offline activities and moved them online, I don't understand VR hasn't done the same.

Having used the Quest 2(?) which has automatic boundary detection and cameras that show you the surroundings if you step beyond those boundaries, I no longer had the worry of bumping into things. That made the experience very immersive.

So for me personally, there has been a definite improvement in the experience.

And I agree, the equipment is currently too cumbersome for the general consumer market. In addition to that, stupid vender-lock ideas such as with the Quest where you need a facebook account to use the device, also prevent the general application of the technology. (I would have bought myself a Quest if Facebook account wasn't a requirement. Vision Pro is simply too expensive.)

That doesn't mean that the technology won't one day find general application.

Also content does exist, sites such SketchFab have much free 3D content and with WebGL being generally compatiable with VR tech, it's relative easy to generate more content.

Yeck, I even worked on some code to make programming in 3D possible![1]

> What use case, that would make VR "huge", are you suggesting?

I assume you mean general consumer use-casae, there are definitely a number of use cases that are very niche.

But if I knew that, I most certainly won't share it with a public forum! ;)

The alt-right is directly responsible for the attempted Coup d'État on the capitol on Jan 6. Project 2025 vows to replace any competent officials with partisan sycophants. Mr. Trump said to his electoral base that if he is elected, they would "not have to vote ever again".

So yes, the alt-right is an anti-democratic extremist group.

As for anti-vaccine groups, their contribution to the death toll of past pandemics is no secret to any moderately informed person.
In the late 00's there were billions on the table of junk contracts for parts service training with crazy pricing to the USAF.

I would speculate that when those got shaken out, (and likely some space contracts sniped away by SpaceX) Boeing did not make any adjustments for the revenue loss and simply tried to continue on their original bloated trajectory but instead cutting every corner possible along the way.
The primary argument against nuclear here seems to be that, given that people argue against it (such as the author), it's slow to build because of all the people arguing against it. That seems pretty... tautological, and the same kind of thinking that resulted in Germany replacing its nuclear power plants with coal (and attempting to use Russian natural gas, too, until...). If the arguments against nuclear are so good, why doesn't the author make any?

If you care about reducing fossil fuel usage, IMO you should be all-in on: nuclear, solar, wind, etc. And nuclear solves a lot of difficult problems: solar doesn't work at night — California has enormous amounts of solar during the day and the majority of daytime electricity is solar-based, but at night nearly 40% of our energy comes from natural gas [1] — and storage is extremely expensive. Wind, hydro, and geothermal don't work everywhere: you can only run them near somewhere with natural features that make them possible. But a nuclear power plant? There aren't really practical limitations on where you can build them, or when they can operate. Any electricity market that has nuclear — CA, Texas [2], New York [3], PJM [4], etc — has an extremely steady base load taken up by nuclear, and everything else is super variable, and the variable gaps from other renewables that aren't plugged by nuclear are plugged by fossil fuels.

Nuclear is good.

> From my elementary school memories, the Space Shuttle used a giant center rocket and two booster rockets that we expendable

That's incorrect. The orange "giant center rocket" had no engines, it was an external tank which held the propellant burned by the orbiter's main engines. The SSMEs were on the "Shuttle thing" and were reused.
The maximum cost of a serious nuclear accident is well beyond anything we see in other industries, save perhaps the cumulative effects of CO2 pollution. The answer is not to excuse nuclear, but impose regulations on other such cases as well, and for similar reasons.
> My point is that there is no way to verify the degree of "good faith genuinity", so we cant use that parameter in aspect of legal actions.

That's literally a thing that happens during trial, at least for certain crimes and legal systems.

Multi-master is not common, but it's easy to have a single master and multiple read-only slaves (with failover), though of course you're going to have to configure your application's database/ORM layer to handle multiple servers. That requires a bit of effort, but then you're set for running analytic queries on a completely different database or column store later on if you choose to do so.

I'm not saying you don't need multi-master, but I've worked on several large projects and one Postgres database can handle a lot of traffic. My first solution is to offload analytic queries to read-only instances or pull data into a column store for "offline" processing. Just make sure you don't get stuck into some ancient ORM or application framework.

There are several Kubernetes operators that are moving towards more complex topologies, so I think a lot of innovation and progress is happening somewhat outside of core Postgres itself, building on functionality already present within.
