France went all in, but they saturated the energy market by when? They've built a couple since, but after an intense build out during the 70's they haven't had to keep building.

Part of the idea to me is that, if you want to be a nuclear civilization, you need government scale investment in not just building plants but in improving the designs.

You need to stay in for decades, stay evolving, where-as France simply isn't big enough, doesn't have enough demand to keep at building again and again (to the scale that they would iterate on new significantly improved fuel cycles).

America's efforts like the Integral Fast Reactor, a fast reactor with on site pyro processing, seemed so promising. A safe & proliferation-safe way to not just reprocess but to keep burning tons of the transuranics (something France doesn't really do, afaik). But we gave up. The related PRISM designs have been kicking around for decades now, and I think one might even maybe get built, but generally the atmosphere around nuclear feels like it's building old/boring designs & not trying at all to advance. Then externalizing the massive incredibly long lived waste problems.

I haven't done any research in a bit, but India for a while was talking a big game about building out Thorium reactors, at scale, and I distantly recall that seemed to have some potential to be an improved fuel cycle over the basic designs/fuel-cycles we've had for so long.
A smaller competitor wants and advocates for itself. Makes sense but is it really surprising? It would be strange otherwise.

I do wonder how far one can get charging for search.
> Google has built a massive index of the internet that covers close to 100% of the accessible web.

While their index (of other peoples stuff) is enormous it far from includes everything. It is easy to disqualify and people would be screaming if content farms would be included. What even is a content farm nowadays? One can return a reasonable article for any query with llms rich in links to other pages that don't exist but could be indexed and are part of the accessible web

If you make a new website with a few thousand pages and a few thousand images it takes quite a while for google to pick up the entire thing, if it even bothers to.

google tries to fill the result page with a small subset of websites. A good thing for users most of the time and the easiest ad money but horrible for new players.

it use to be quite common for bloggers (and others) to follow everything written about them or of interest. google (blog search) and technorati were very useful for that kind of discovery.

The average user might never have noticed that but when it was killed off the www stopped being a community.

We can pretend the index is still there. If you cant get to it it's s much like the llm content.
How can they have them if they are prohibited?
You're right, the RPi zero 2's CPU is slower - but that doesn't matter for non-interactive tasks. I don't care that my cloud backup export cron job runs 5 minutes (or hours) longer on the Pi than on a Nuc; I only care it happens daily. For the CPU-/GPU-heavy workloads, the RPi Zero W is works as an orchestrator for the > 10W computer: powering it on and off as needed.

Thanks! I like this answer.
Firefox will either support this or your favorite websites won't work so you'll switch to Chrome so they do work.
They absolutely should be... it is cheaper and saves a lot of time. Going to Dr. appointments online, and ordering prescriptions online is great! They shouldn't be advertised online, because medical decisions shouldn't be made based on advertising.

I wonder why they aren’t straightforward that this is just ai generating websites based on a url prompt? It seems like they go out of their way to not say AI.
I had expected these rate increases to come a decade ago, to prevent losses. Why do they end up being purely reactive ?
This is cool but I would have the worry that it got something wrong. Which is a general llm problem
How did the government force Facebook to comply with their demands, as opposed to going along with them voluntarily?

There isn’t a free market for energy really, it is a global marketplace and the government of every major player puts their thumb on the scale.

Governments are investing in solar because they want to be ahead in the renewable economy, where energy literally just falls from the sky. Is that a subsidy? I guess. It is also a good strategic move.

Are petrochemicals taxed or subsidized? I have no idea, it is a big tangled web. What are the costs of staying plausibly friendly with Saudi Arabia and other OPEC members, who pays that bill?

I’m not going to try and defend either way, but I don’t believe anybody who says they have an answer. If they did manage to analyze the entire global economy somehow (where to even start) I don’t think they’d post the answer here.
I don't think the range matters so much as the floor. The huge blank in the lower-right corner. No such thing as a rich, energy-poor country.
There seems to be lot of smart and interesting people working there. Their appliance, a high-end rack loaded with servers is very appealing to me. Who wouldn’t want to be a part of building such a thing? I also like their technology choices. illumos, bhyve, Forth, etc. They seem to pay a lot of attention to detail. The whole thing feels invigorating to the legacy of Unix.
I think big, life-encompassing platforms like Google especially need this kind of regulation. Getting unceremoniously shut out from Google is no minor thing and, by all the accounts I've read, getting someone on their end to talk to you when it happens is nigh impossible unless you have a large social media presence.
Do you live in China?
What's the logic that lead you to conclude an account being banned after you received and ignored a string of unexpected fraudulent reservation emails is due to a "misfire in their ML model"?

Troublesome there is no reasonable recourse to get your account reviewed but the part you're actually posting about (the account getting banned because of unreliable ML) seems hard to agree with.
this is the main topic of the article; it describes where those costs come from and how they are being reduced
Ah, I see the distinction. Thanks!
Dropping energy costs lowers costs in every sector but rarely by that much.

> aluminum production

Dropping energy costs an by 75% only drops smelting prices by about 30% and finished goods by even less.

I probably have the same N100 miniforums and can only get it down to 7w. Is it possible you could share how you got it down to 3.6W and 4-8W?

I just got this N100 a few weeks ago, have it on a killawatt next to my desk.
IIRC, TikTok has (had?) a relatively high-touch content moderation pipeline, where any video receiving more than a few thousand views is checked by a human reviewer.

Their review process was developed to hit the much more stringent speech standards of the Chinese market, but it opens them up to even more liability here.

I unfortunately can't find the source articles for this any more, they're buried under "how to make your video go viral" flowcharts that elide the "when things get banned" decisions.
That will cause quite a painful but interesting deleveraging, i like it.
Well, if you review a movie you try not to spoil by explaining its plot?
- the version without search as you type and JS at https://hnnojs.trieve.ai/ has a more normal back button

- Algolia ranks by points by default while we are ranking by relevance score which is the difference. You can order our results by points if you want to with the order by select component that says "relevance".

We went back and forth on making points sorting default and ended up deciding against it, but maybe we should have. Our thinking was that since it's focused on "discovery" it was worth prioritizing relevance, but I can see how it can feel the result quality isn't as great. HN is really good at highlighting interesting links.

Best fix would have been LTR, but we made incorrect decisions early on which made the rewrite a bit too hard - https://trieve.ai/launching-trieve-hn-discovery/#relevance-q...
Or you know someone inside who can escalate the review to an actual person. Who then says "Ooops, don't know how that happened" and restores your account.
> OP, it was a bit unclear from your post: What technologies are you already familiar with? Does this mean you can already comfortably make the backend (DB, API, etc.), or is that part unfamiliar too?

You're right,I didn't notice that.I had a 4-year enterprise working experience which was more focused on the back end. I'm familiar with using object-oriented programming languages such as Java, Python Js to create DBs, APIs, etc.
But I rarely dealt with front-end interaction. So it's diffcult for me now.

This is rather contradictory. Currently, my main time and enegy are spent using NLP to filter high-quality content in the field of technology [or others],

and dynamic rendering of page data is required [but not realtime], whether on the client side or the server side. At present, the front end has become a weakness.

I've been trying to move towards a static architecture, like static site generator. but it doesn't seem to work..LOL..like:

1.The NLP system will update the data frequently, and the data needs to be displayed in a list,and how to deal with pagination staticlly?

2.Form data needs to be enterd manually.Interaction adn persistence are also required.

3.Like HN item, if it is statically genereated, whether several pages are generated for each comment?

I think it will encounter this situation again in the future.There are two ways:

One is to pick up HTML, CSS, React etc again.

The other possibility(laziness) is to find other technologies (perhaps some that I'm not aware of) to replace the first one. Since interface interaction doesn't need to be fancy. I know about Gradio,Streamlit, etc. They dont seem very flexible. For Instance, embedding a database or implementing a login system is troublesome,etc.

Also, the difficulty of identifying someone probably looks like a power-law curve, meaning that most of the "total difficulty" is concentrated in a small group, the ~13% that can't be identified.

In other words, even if one person is extraordinarily tricky to find [0], their share of the total un-findable-ness does not diffuse outwards to help anybody else.

The first one I thought of was Claude Shanon’s contribution to computing and the second was expressed even earlier by Charles Babbage.

One can disagree but but it’s the differences that shed light on things.

I don’t think you are equipped to discuss design so I will leave it here.
The economy stopped getting better because I started taking shorter, colder showers.
OK, so I have a very specific product area that I am both interested in from a discovery perspective and know (modestly) quite a lot about, and just ran a query on it, and I must say, this search engine provided a really interesting and thought-provoking set of results. Good job.
It does follow. The law needs to be written as such to guard against it easily being challenged and repealed.
I mean, I do projects on mine too. Without OP describing what the projects are; you're assuming they are CPU-bound.

Speaking of my projects - the RPi is perfectly capable of working as a web crawler (at a page rate that may surprise you) as well as a media download client & transcoder (again, simultaneously transcoding a number of streams that may surprise you).
Yes, see for example the project which this repo acknowledges at the end.[0]

SFO security is run by some company "under contract" to TSA -- probably required to follow all the same procedures, so it's not clear the business arrangement makes that much difference to the passengers. I've been through there a few times, and haven't found it any more organized or pleasant...

In practice, most commercial attestations/certifications contain enough weasel language that the certifier isn't responsible for anything missed (i.e. reasonable effort only).

But yes, there are many standards for this (e.g. SOC Type 2 reports).

In defense of their utility, the good ones tend to focus on (a) whether a control/policy for a sensitive operation exists at all in the product/company & (b) whether those controls implemented are effectively adhered to during an audited period.
It's also not a government web site. It's a private company who, for some reason, my own government outsources identity verification to. Meanwhile, the authorization system the US government has built (login.gov) is deemed "insecure" by the IRS and Social Security for some inexplicable reason. (But it's fine for Trusted Traveler Programs.)
Refusal to moderate, though, is also a bias. It produces a bias where the actors who post the most have their posts seen the most. Usually these posts are Nigerian princes, Viagra vendors, and the like. Nowadays they'll also include massive quantities of LLM-generated cryptofascist propaganda (but not cryptomarxist propaganda because cryptomarxists are incompetent at propaganda). If you moderate the spam, you're biasing the site away from these groups.
Basically if the Jump function takes an Animal interface, the package that defines the jump function is the one that defines the Animal.Jump method. So if you provide it with whatever entity that has this method, it will just work. You don’t have to define the Animal interface in your Cat package. But if your cat does not Jump, it won’t be accepted. Of course you can also pass in a box that Jumps.
"Confabulation" also sounds too anthropomorphic to my tastes. Especially because "fabrication" often implies "intent to" by the actor in question. It's the exact same problem as "bullshit", just the G-rated grandiloquent version. To be fair, human languages were built to anthropomorphize almost everything so finding the right terms here is hard.
Hello Watchy
Nobody seems to be offering "synthetic wine."
that is already the case; solar panels have been cheaper than window glass per square meter for years now. that's why the article says:

> Is there a floor for these costs?

> > Solar manufacturers are investing hundreds of billions in expanded capacity in an all out war for market share against a background of panel price drops of 15-25% per year. There is an extreme economic forcing function towards rapid improvement and ultimately convergence with the Platonically ideal solar panel - some 20 um thick layer of silicon supported by a 100 um thick layer of plastic rolled off a spool - or some other tech that's thinner and cheaper than paper.—Casey Handmer

> Thinner and cheaper than paper. Think about that!

i suspect that at some point people are going to be mounting bare (passivated) silicon dies on string and putting up chicken wire over them to keep the hailstones off, or something like that. think about how plants support their leaves
Have you thought about suing AirBnB seeking an order that they restore your account or pay you what you have lost?

It may be the case that there is an arbitration clause in a contract you have entered into with them, but you can be just as vindicated there as in state court.

If I were you I’d talk to an attorney (although naturally, the real solution is to talk to HN and find an AirBnB troubleshooter).
GamerGate was one of the big reasons why I largely stopped gaming. It was really eye-opening to me, and underlined that the space was full of people I want nothing to do with.
The "airlines" that are using something like FlyCASS are themselves smaller operations and typically running on razor thin margins (if not just unprofitable and wishfully thinking that money will suddenly appear and make their business viable). Literally everything on their backend is held together with more duct tape than the average small business.

You could be an "airline" by purchasing a couple of older airliners and converting them to cargo use. Is it valuable for new airlines to get started? Should we force them out of business because they don't already have the systems in place that take years to decades to build out? Should they pay $$$ for boutique systems designed for a large passenger airline when they have 2 aircraft flying 1 route between nowhere and nowhere?

Requirements and audits really aren't the answer here. The fundamental design problem is that the TSA has used authentication "airline XXX says you're an employee" with a very large blanket authorization "you're allowed to bypass all security checks at any airport nationwide" without even the basic step of "does your airline even operate here?"
Unlikely. Love 'em or hate 'em, Apple nudged most organizations to handle third party cookie blocking unless they wanted to completely lose iPhone users.

"If Google limited 3rd party cookies, we'd go out of business!", said the companies who have literally 0 Safari users.

> algorithm that reflects “editorial judgments”

I don't think timestamps are, in any way, construed editorial judgement. They are a content agnostic related attribute.
It's an entirely different game in scope. According to Wikipedia Vice City featured 8000 lines of recorded dialogue, III a quarter of that. GTA V apparently features 160.000 lines of dialogue, Red Dead Redemption 2 apparently half a million(!) with 1200 voice actors.

It isn't even comparable. Modern games have thousands of hours of recorded motion capture, people in the hundreds and thousands recording professionally acted and written dialogue and three music albums worth of a soundtrack. No offense to the original Deus Ex and what have you but it had like four people (https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/video-games/Deus-Ex/) reading the entire script and it sounded sometimes like it was recorded in someone's closet.

I think Kagi is correct and that the way we explore information on the internet will look very different in X years with all the changes LLMs will bring. I think the real question will be what will it look like.

I don't think it looks like search today. Google got where they were because they were 10x better than everything else and had an experience focusing on what mattered at the time. I don't think the 10x experience will look like ten blue links. I don't know what that next experience is, but I'll know it when I see it.
For a full long distance train pausing between two multi-hour trips it's reasonable.

5 Minutes for disembarking, 10 minutes cleaning, 10 minutes for boarding and you have 25 minutes platform occupancy. But on top of that the tracks will be blocked by the train going in and out for a few extra minutes, you need to find a slot on the line itself, and you need to allow for disruption.

It's all very inefficient in terms of occupying scarce and inelastic inner-city track capacity, so modern practice is to build through stations if at all possible and send trains off to sidings to be cleaned, but that wasn't practical 100 years ago.
>...By that same logic, you can 'trivially' influence a democratic government, you have no such control over a corporation.

That is a misrepresentation of the message you are replying too:

>>You can trivially choose not to associate with a corporation. You can't really do so with your government.

You won't get into legal trouble if you don't have a Facebook account, or a Twitter account, or use a search engine than Google, etc. Try to ignore the rules setup by your government and you will very quickly learn what having a monopoly of physical force within a given territory means. This is a huge difference between the two.

As far as influencing a government or a corporation, I suspect (for example) that a letter to the CEO of even a large corporation will generally have more impact than a letter to the POTUS. (For example, customer emails forwarded from Bezos: https://www.quora.com/Whats-it-like-to-receive-a-question-ma...). This obviously will vary from company to company and maybe the President does something similar but my guess is maybe not.
If I recall there was nothing ontological about the actual Copenhagen group's interpretation. They aimed to develop a predictive theory and nothing more. One of their key insights was that ontology simply doesn't play a role anymore. This led quickly to the discovery of QM, while ~100 years of fussing over the "reality" of the wave function has led to nothing.

The "Copenhagen interpretation" as we understand it, in which some thing "collapses" when measured, trades under the same name but was invented later. As a result the original interpretations of Bohr/Heisenberg and their philosophy of science have somewhat exited the discussion, even though they had the only defensible epistemology -- the rest as you say is just ontology.
