I don't know how this constantly comes up on HN but I have seen it mentioned across every type of energy thread.

And people could trivially disprove the notion in mere seconds by Googling the solar irradiance of the sun over the Earth, but for some reason they never do before posting.
Absolutely. Toasts, like any overlaid UI, is just a cheap and easy way to add information to the screen without affecting the layout. Cheap and easy doesn't make it good
The French nuclear program was started without public or parliamentary discussion, read up on the Messmer plan, it was a spontaneous reaction to the oil crisis of 1973 and new deployments haven't happened in the 25 years. France has a plan to extend it's nuclear plants by another 10 years, but really it would have to replace them sooner or later.

Even in France the trend visible in other European countries will happen: Wind, solar combined with large-scale batteries or pumped storage hydropower. Those are more simple to construct with less resistance from today's public.
>I've trained as a neuroscientist

Can you explain what this means? Do you have a degree in neuroscience?
When I ran bigger companies in the past, I gravitated towards defining whether someone is entry level, junior, mid level or senior _entirely_ based on experience measured in time. And their salary was a function in which that was the primary factor.

The problem with any internal definition of "senior" is that it's misaligned with the market. If you pay someone less than their market value, they're likely to leave for a place that appreciates them more. If you pay someone above their market value, you're basically putting golden hand cuffs on them. I'm not saying I never did those things, but I did have almost exclusively bad experiences with both of these situations. And I've hired something like 200 developers in my CTO roles.

If I have a senior whose salary I'm reluctant to raise, I wonder about three things: Do they actually have enough experience to be in that bracket? Is that person perhaps just not a good fit for what we need? Do I perhaps have too high expectations in seniors that made me inflate their salaries?

If I have a junior whose salary I want to raise, I think about similar questions, but I also wonder if that person perhaps went above and beyond and a bonus is more fitting than a permanent raise.

Sounds a bit cold and rigid, and of course there's exceptions to any rule, but this guiding principle has served me best over the years.

Creating my own, literally made up and company specific, job description for a senior has pretty universally back fired. My company isn't a special snowflake that gets to invent their own job market. It's much more reasonable to connect to the actual job market.

As for titles, I usually didn't put "junior" or "senior" in them at all as far as I could get away with it. For the most part, my seniors were fine, many even happy, with this.
Singapore has no strategic depth anyway, becoming dependent on importing power isn't some extra vunerable vector vs building domestic generation that likely can't be protected long term. Current is Singapore military vs region is like PRC:TW in the 90s... back then TW with US equipment was one of the more potent forces in the region and could stomp far larger/poorer countries with inferior hardware. But advanced equipment can only scale so far vs quantity, and as rest of ASEAN gets wealthier they're going to build out more modern capabilties, at scales that rich but small Singapore won't have the resources to defend against. If anything integration with AU, with military infra (and future US B21s) is probably more secure / geopolitical hedge against other's meddling.

The main problem with blockchain is identical to the one with LLMs. When snake oil salesmen try to apply the same solution to every problem, you stop wasting your time with those salesmen.

Both can be useful now and then, but the legit uses are lost in the noise.

And for blockchain... it was launched with the promise of decentralized currency. But we've had decentralized currency before in the physical world. Until the past few hundred years. Then we abandoned it in favor of centralized currency for some reason. I don't know, reliability perhaps?
Do these things use a lot of resources? Is the build process less painful than using Epic Games?
Could you tell us about how you got started doing this and what your criteria are?
Isn't the most useful definition of rich/poor how much access to resources you can buy?

As in, how can someone be both getting poorer but also enjoying increasing access to resources? Buying power is a pretty good measure here unless I've missed something?

(I'm talking about this in a global context where we can assume asset wealth is pretty much negligible, i.e. it's not a case of people burning through savings to access resources)
Hey there - As a suggestion, cause it took me like 10mins now to find it, the alternative downloads link... Shouldn't it point to "https://gitlab.com/kelteseth/ScreenPlay/-/releases" instead of your pipelines? That path requires a gitlab account, and I still couldn't find the download link even after registering.
Killer applications solve real problems. What is the biggest real problem on the web today? The noise flood. Can semantic web standards help with that? Maybe! Something about trust, integrity, and lineage, perhaps.

I mean, call it dot producting if you don't want to use the word reason, but it takes a bit of multiplying matricies and converting tokens to words to be able to say that if b follows a, it doesn't mean that a follows b, but that not b follows not a (the contrapositive). sure, that's in an unknown amount of textbooks in the training corpus, but at what point does putting down a bunch of axioms and applying them ok each other lead to what you'd actually call reasoning? at some point when a human does it, the human's gone past its training corpus and entered the hallowed realm of reasoning, unless we're able to deliniate clearly where that line is and isn't, and then all agree on it, we're going to keep going in circles about if it can be called reasoning or not.

If the 25 TW can offset the current worldwide production which is 20 TW IIRC, is it such a big deal? Any greenhouse gas emission displaced is going to leverage thermal increase multiple times over.

Solar insolation is about 120 000 TW or something like that I think.

I need to know where the cave is that holds these Platonic emotions.

I keep reading about EQ, and feeling the "right" emotions, and "mental health." Unfortunately, I feel what I feel when I feel it even when I get told what I'm feeling is "in appropriate" and even "wrong". Some of it is because that's just the way the neurotransmitters hit my hypothalmus, some of it is because of the accumulation of experience over some half-dozen decades of acculturation and social interaction. I have yet to find some source for what the "right" or even "expected" way to feel is.

This survey also lacks any kind of reference: the meaning of "respect" for a man in super-machismo El Salvador is going to be completely different from a woman in Buddhist Viet Nam.

With zero reference or baseline a study like this is just meaningless drivel. Something to be slotted in a magazine between a quiz on "what breed of dog are you?" and advertisements for expensive product to address your personal inadequacies of some unreachable and ill-defined state of visual aesthetic supremacy.
Awesome, thanks for going back to try, and great feedback!

1. It's been fun to implement. Always room for improvement, formatting results is up there. But surprisingly good with simple keywords and rag. There is some fun NLP in there, like filtering by date or navigating to that day if you just type a date. And doing rag only for questions.

2. Yep, high priority -- for me it's the small things like bringing focus to the text area by default, etc.

3. Absolutely. I'm into density and packing as much onto the screen as possible, so I ultimately have to click around as little as possible. But you're right; it's confusing. I occupy this weird space, being super nerdy but also wanting ridiculous simplicity, though not in a super consumer way. Wanting to stick to plain text, for example, markdown, etc, but also targeting smb and tradespeople is an odd path. My dad, of all people, had the same feedback. :)

4. Search/ask is for looking in your notes. Find/create is more like: I know this prompt/entity exists or add it. It's mostly a direct search for the 'prompt' names or entities and a shortcut to adding blocks to your day. For example, if you're having a meeting with a person or company and don't want to clutter your daily notes. Or even my changelog, I hit ctrl-k 2x, type chan, hit tab to get 'changelog', enter, and type away. It's also the only current way to find out what prompts are in your account. Still, very worth exploring if there's a clean way to get rid of find/create. I suppose there could just be an 'add block' button, and then you can pick your prompt on creation. Simpler UI, but I'm also not convinced it's entirely better. Probably worth trying, I'm sure there'll be a time I can circle back to iterate on it. Development is mostly dictated by what's most annoying at this point.

And regarding the intermittent errors during this hn post, I think it was my db max connection django setting causing issues. Reset back to the default of 0, and it's been good so far.
Destroying Gaza itself is not the goal. It's destroying the people that's the goal. So that other people can occupy that land. And that is being accomplished with old, new, weapons, and with the "weapon" of withholding aid as well.
No backstory as such. The reason I'm building this is for SEO, to aggregate everything (websites, ai tools, localstorage based free tools). My main product is minform.io - form builder which is still in beta phase and lacking many features. It's difficult to rank 1 page vs multiple pages on google.
Have tried similar things in the past with hreftools (see my profile here). Got many upvotes on both hackernews and reddit, but stopped working on it due to other paid freelance projects.

This time I've a multi-year plan for both of my side projects (funded by freelancing).
> You point out a real problem but it does not feel like an unsurmountable and terminal one

In our spoken language the agents doing the parsing are human AI's (actual intelligences) able to deal with most of the finer nuances in semantics, and still making numerous errors in many contexts that lead to misunderstanding, i.e. parse errors.

There was this hand-waving promise in semantic web movement of "if only we make everything machine-readable, then .." magic would happen. Undoubtedly unlocking numerous killer apps, if only we had these (increasingly complex) linked data standards and related tools to define and parse 'universal meaning'.

An overreach, imho. Semantic web was always overpromising yet underdelivering. There may be new use cases in combinations of SM with ML/LLM but I don't think they'll be a vNext of the web anytime soon.
Hi WhyLikeThis,

Thanks for taking the trouble to comment on my blog post.
You are correct that cwnd unit is indeed in packets.

And the mss of a loopback connection is, as you say, 32K. But here we are concerned not with connecting to other processes on the same server, but routing across the WAN to the other side of the globe. And unfortunately, unless we are
able to enable jumbo frames, we are stuck with the historical relic of 1500
packet sizes. This means that the initial congestion window size of only 15K.

Thanks for correcting my error about cwnd units. I'll fix the post later today.
I don’t think you’ve used LLMs enough. They are revolutionary, every day. As a coder I’m several times more productive than I was before, especially when trying to learn some new library or language.

You're putting a lot of weight on the distinction between drowsy and sleep deprived in a casual comment at the end. How many people really know the distinction and use the correct word in the correct situation? He's clearly looking at it from a UI design perspective and other issues like you mentioned aren't the point of the article.

Accidents have multiple causes. Somebody else might blame sleep deprivation and stimulants then a smart-ass would complain that they just waved away "confusing controls" without understanding how they worked.
Our workplace has a lot of public channels in the style of "Soccer" and "MLB" and "CryptoInvesting" which are useless to me and I have never joined any of them and do not want them at all in my search results.

Yes, creating new public channels is generally a good feature to have. But it pollutes my search results, whether or not it is a key part of the security issue discussed. I have to click "Only my channels" so much it feels like I am playing Cookie Clicker, why can't I set it as checked by default?

More specifically, everything requires a military to defend, but some targets (nuclear power plants) are much harder to defend.
> A war in germany is a war with NATO, which is a nuclear war

Nuclear war is only one option of many, and the last one among all of them. It's a skewed perspective to think that NATO involvement would end up in a nuclear war.

Also, a nuclear war does not automatically mean the end of humankind, as some like to portray it. Most will still be alive, even lead a healthy, unaffected life. The negative effects of a broken internet and broken supply chains would be the bigger problems.

Let's say the user wants to import some data source, and it says something like "Importing...". Sure, you can leave a notification in the menu, but if he did that import 1 minute ago, probably he wants to see some hint immediately. It's the same with the floating notifications in the phone.

The article is too US-centric to a fault. Basically all project's costs after 1970s balloon to an extent. Japan's cost has risen. French, while only slightly, has risen. Same for India. Only S. Korea have seen construction prices fall, but notice the price bottoming out after the 1990s. It's only maintaining the price, not getting lower.

Regardless, these other countries didn't contribute that much to increase global nuclear power capacity. In both India and China nuclear doesn't even count as the majority in their low-carbon energy mix, which is still dwarfed by the massive deployment of coal. S. Korea is slacking on low-carbon sources in general. Japan has lost trust (rightfully) on nuclear and decided to reset their entire nuclear generation capacity. No country has expanded their energy grid with nuclear. Except France, who only did it because of the oil crisis.

Now we just need a fact checker that fact checks this fact checker because it makes things up.
Russia has five thousand nuclear warheads. If they want to turn Ukraine into a post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland they can do so today.

A nuclear plant getting bombed would result in some nuclear contamination but not _that_ much, and accidental bombing of a nuclear power plant won't result in a mushroom cloud. Taking a nuclear plant out of commission with bombs is easy, re-creating Chernobyl is very hard even if you bomb it intentionally.

Nuclear plants are not weapons of war and they serve no military purpose. The press has written repeatedly -- completely without basis in reality -- about Russia going to turn Ukrainian nuclear power plants into bombs. Nuclear feels scary to people, and that's why those narratives gain traction.

How to write an okay research paper [video]
Ask HN: How can I set scope of my web app which I am making?
So I started making a web app that helps me see all my finances in one place because in India it's hard to get data from banks via API.

- I made an Excel import so I can easily get all my finances in one shot!

- Shared with online people and offline, got 100+ users. only onboard Indian users for now because my app is only supporting Indian banks. But those users only used PDF so I started working on it and created separate parsers for 8 banks.

But today's issue is, what should I do next?
1. Add more Indian bank's PDFs? The downside is that it will take more of my time and I will keep building.

2. Support US/Canada banks using API like Plaid.

3. Give manual entry support so any user from the globe can use it.
I've never seen so much Inter in one place ;)
I was terrible with snooze buttons when I was younger. What finally worked for me was getting up the first time I woke up anywhere near when my alarm was supposed to go off. That works most mornings, and the times when I sleep until my alarm are infrequent enough that I don't bother with the snooze button anymore. Focusing on this approach also made me pay closer attention to how much sleep I was getting. I started going to bed earlier some nights when I was tired, because I knew I wanted to have a reasonable chance of waking up rested.

If I needed a regular alarm again, I would look for a good sunrise alarm clock. Light definitely wakes me up during the summer, and I'm pretty sure the good light-based clocks would work well for me.

I appreciate you asking this, because my teenager is not doing well with standard alarms, and this is helping me think through other approaches for him.
It is not going to happen. France's existing nuclear fleet will not replaced by new nukes when they reach end of life.

It is clear after three EPR projects have massively overrun in a row that Areva/EDF can't do it, and when faced by paying a foreign company to do it they will choose solar and wind instead.

Is it more or less solved than the waste storage problem of fossil fuel generation?
Still not specific enough and doesn't evoke hackers. I consider myself a hacker but I don't consider myself "infinitely" creative, just creative in technical areas. So maybe technically creative individual? But those are more like Makers.
> it shows the first frame of the image

Not for me. Big blank black space.

Could it be there is a correlation between poor use of human language and poor use of markup language? Between poor UI and poor cross-browser testing?

I lived with 2 different programmers for 2 extended periods of my life. Both were professional software developers. Both were startlingly poor at understanding how PCs worked, chose poorly and bought poor hardware, and then were unable to fix their own problems or install their own upgrades. Both were intolerant of alternative OSes or app choices because they were wedded to specific apps on specific OSes.

Now I can't safely generalise from that to all programmers, obviously, but it's a strong hint.
