I thought I'd neatly encapsulated this with the "baseload and peaking to renewables and firming" slogan but since it appears we need greater depth:

Typically nuclear/renewables is not used with storage at all, it's instead used for baseload/cheap-n-clean-load with the peaks/firming handled by other types of primary generation, traditionally natural gas or non-pumped hydro that dams a river.

Nuclear can trip out in seconds or be put offline by fault investigations or fuel reloading, so you need alternative generation with enough capacity to supply the whole grid at any given time, and enough storage and or firming to be able to do this for a week or more in the event that nuclear generation is low for an extended period of time (like France the other year).
Hi! Yes we use something similar at Revision.ai to analyze student short, long and recall-based answers. The context of their studying content is considered when providing feedback in more ways than just the "correctness" of their answer.

When you say "leave small details around concepts that LLMs make mistakes on", do you imagine any way to do this for a variety of source material? Let's just say you have the course lectures, and several questions with curt answers. Can that be useful then?
Dokku is actually the opposite of that. Super responsive, helpful and nice maintainer (Already mentioned by a few other people in this thread).

I was so positively surprised that I got help so quickly after asking that I started to sponsor it via GitHub immediately.
I found this dimension of the analysis:

> People prefer native apps to web apps

> Java has “UI curse”: Looked bad

to be at odds with this aspect of the design:

Organizational is the right answer, but it works both ways- you shouldn't let the technical side force and lead the business side, for example by chasing the latest and greatest if it doesn't solve any customer need.

They are talking about different stuff. Geometric algebra is here the name used for the popularisation of a brand of Clifford algebra. The popularisation books are often written by physicists and engineers, and their maths is shaky, because they care more about applications than about proofs and rigour.

There are exceptions, for example I like the two books by Alan Macdonald about the topic:

> Because we're on HN I'd say that StumpWM being made in Common Lisp may be trotted out as the main advantage

It's not because it is in Common Lisp, it is because you can program it live without needing to restart the program to see the result. Some people call this 'hot-reloading' but Common Lisp implementations take this to an unreached level. Also it has sane defaults (well ... for Emacs users) but you can also mold it into whatever you like.

I also wonder if Athena does this with AWS. Parquet supports pushdown. But i would suspect, pushdown predicates would mean that the file storage unit has to have some logic to execute custom code, bringing back the code to the data. The promise of spark, once. It would be a huge win, definitly. Hmmm.

But opens up also a threat vector. And you have competing users running their predicates. So one has to think also about queues and pipelining and so on. But probably also solvable, just like on any multiuser system.

Interesting.
It's my understanding that par2 is designed for missing files (parts of a multi part archive), not the uniform random bit rot corruption used in that article. I think it can recover a much larger corrupted or missing block, approaching the size of the parity files.

But yeah if that's your data loss model then par2 isn't the right approach. (Not sure what is.)

What if they all have an exact copy of the same 1.56% of you DNA and the rest is lost forever?

In reality .. A) it doesn't work that way and B) for the bit that does work that way it is as unlikely for the same 1/64 "fingerprint" to be all that is shared as it is for a complete "fingerprint" to be exactly split into 64 parts, each to one of 64 descendants.

Ask HN: How will Chromium project be if Google is forced to split it?
i mean with talks of google being investigated and being found guilty of anti-trust, one of the ideas floating around is that google might be forced to spin away chromium project.
if that happens, my question is, what will happen to it since it would not have the wealth of google at disposal.

if chromium project is forced to become independent, how will it afford to pay developers salary and more importantly, what would its revenues be? will it become like firefox, dependent on revenues from google?
Well... Personally I've explorer Guix System a bit on test hw, coming from NixOS and looking for a more friendly system language, but...

- I miss zfs (actually zfs root, with encryption, OOB on NixOS)

- I miss few packages (i.e. RustDesk)

Observing that while Scheme is far more digestible the Guix System config it's not designed in so digestible ways. My take it's that they are too HPC/academic centered to be a generic desktop distro, which is unfortunate because as Microsoft tell the world back then conquering desktop means conquering people, also people who manage server, HPC clusters etc. No one since decades can survive without being on desktop...
> and I think my issue is that they are not run like universities, they are run like job training centers.

It is my understanding that that's how most of the universities are now also run.

An investment or economic action is economically viable when societal benefits exceed the initial capital outlay. However, in capitalism people care more about the personal return on the initial capital outlay, than the actual societal benefits of their investment.

If society was a giant hivemind, then economic viability would take precedence over personal profit. Meanwhile if society is a bunch of isolated individuals, economic viability would take the backseat. So this tells us more about the limits of human psychology than it tells us about economics.

> where I think you meant to say "a valid specification". Did I misunderstand?

What do you mean when you say "a valid specification"? There are known algorithms to check validity of a proof. How do you check that specification is valid? People are inspecting it and agree that "yes, it seems to be expressing what was intended to be expressed in the natural language", or, "no, this turn of phrase needs to be understood in a different way" or some such. Today there's no other system that can handle this kind of a task besides humans (who are fallible) and LLMs (that are much more fallible).

That is deciding that specification is valid cannot be done without human involvement. I left that part out and focused on what we can mechanistically check (that is validity of a proof).

So, no, I didn't mean "a valid specification". And, yes, I don't think that today's LLMs would be good at producing specifications that would be deemed valid by a consensus of experts.

> Today, if you can express your problem in terms of input-output examples there are approaches that can synthesize a program that is consistent with the examples

In a limited domain with agreed-upon rules of generalization? Sure. In general? No way. The problem of generalizing from a limited number of examples with no additional restrictions is ill-defined.

And the problem "generalize as an expert would do" is in the domain of AI.

I feel this about a lot of the apparent revelations that come out of LSD and other psychedelic use, particularly the revolutionary nature of psychedelics which (if only enough people would take them) would change the world, people would realise we don't need police, armies, governments wielding power over us, we can all get along in peace and harmony and create a new world of love, charity and understanding.

When probing into what this might actually mean, there's never really any substance there. And from what I can tell most of the experiments in actually living these different lives in the 60s and 70s failed because when it comes down to it, communal living requires idealism, commitment and hard graft. Those last two are often missing and the first fades.

I've had my "I am one with the fabric of the universe" moments. I've seen things of great beauty on psychedelics, I've had thoughts twist and turn in impossible ways... but in the end it would take extraordinary evidence to persuade me it's anything other then the subjective experience brought on by a drug twisting my brain. From the article -

> If people say they’ve talked with angels or dead ancestors, should we dismiss them as raving, drug-addled trippers?

No, because that's prejudicial and dismissive, but we probably should think of those experiences in terms of an internal psychedelic journey conjured up by the brain on drugs, rather than some sort of extrinsic interaction with the universe. At least until someone comes up with something other than speculation as evidence.
Wonder if any of the RISC-V cpus are fast enough as a daily driver running Linux? (Or maybe in phones or servers one day I’d that’s the intention) - I was trying to read about it and saw that people’s analysis show some of them are 28% slower than a raspberry pi 4[1] and “the RISC-V U74 core had roughly 1.8 times lower performance per clock compared to the ARM Cortex-A53”[2]. I guess if the gap between non-open cpus and risc-v is too large and you can’t have the same OS experience or battery experience etc then it might be hard to be successful in mainstream devices? I have no idea how it works but would love to hear what people think; and it’s cool that we have an open processor architecture that seems relatively capable and that’s making its way into different devices!

I submit humans are no different. It can take years of seemingly good communication with a human til you finally realize they never really got your point of view. Language is ambigious and only a tool to communicate thoughts. The underlying essence, thought, is so much more complex that language is always just a rather weak approxmiation.
A tangent but, since AI is good enough to destroy civilization and reign over us like an evil god these days, and translation seems to be one of its strongest points, what's the state of the art with AI translations of out of copyright works of literature?

Free versions available via standard ebooks and Gutenberg are often based on the copyright of the translation and so can be dated or just considered lower quality than other, more recent, translations.

Can you run the older translations through an AI to jazz them up a bit and maybe secretly steal the IP from other translations?

Or, since we're fudging the IP issue anyway, are the underground book pirate rings issuing AI translated versions of Harry Potter (or a more recent equivalent) into niche markets yet?

Why do you think this is an EU action and not just France?

France has much tougher laws on this than the rest of the EU.

2) Whether you are planning on making your app available in France
Motivation can be important. After Mozilla started taking Google's money they lost a lot of urgency about competing with Chrome to offer a different view of the internet.

Sure. Doesn't that depend on the complexity of the code you are looking at though? In many cases you can go through code, find the bit you are looking for and have pretty good idea of what it does. Which sometimes is all you need.

Ask HN: Design guides for Tiling user interfaces
Have there been any documents published (similar to Apple's Human Interface Guidelines) that deal with Tiling UIs/WMs as opposed to free-form UIs? Is there a list of best practices for Tiling UIs?
Part of the book is that experts did NOT necessarily practice more--they practiced in a better way.

This is the whole point of "deliberate practice".

The problem is defining what is "deliberate" for tasks where there is not necessarily an "objectively correct" result.

So what? Why bother? Why would anyone bother becoming an expert? Nobody is going to pay attention to you. You're not going to get any more pay or respect or authority than people who are just good at bullshitting. You're not going to have an outsized influence on the world. So why bother?

Say, for sake of argument, that I'm in the top 0.1% of software engineers. Maybe the top 0.01%; say I'm utterly phenomenal. What the hell am I supposed to do about it? My choices are:

1. Work for a FAANG or adtech for 70 hours per week with a toxic manager on optimizing the psychological weapons and dark patterns they use to keep their users in a negative feedback cycle of dependence on their increasingly shitty and hostile products

2. Work for a bank or fintech as a middleman trying to get that extra 0.01% rent on other people's labor

3. Work in a niche industry or a consulting firm doing interesting and important work, but always for one client at a time, having an extremely limited impact (and limited pay to match), or

4. Start my own business and work 90 hour weeks spending 95% of my time on organizational business things that I'm bad at, leaving virtually no hours for the thing I'm a phenomenal super-expert at.

I've chosen #3, but I'm honestly sick of just continuing to just get better and better at software engineering and having it mean absolutely fuck-all. What's the point? Why would you ever bother becoming an expert?

RISC was explained to me as a reduced instruction set computer in computer science history classes, but I see a lot of articles and proposed new RISC-V profiles about "we just need a few more instructions to get feature parity".

I understand that RISC-V is just a convenient alternative to other platforms for most people, but does this also mean the RISC dream is dead?
My experience was similar; no direct contact with entities, but the certainty that something was in the room with me and had no ill intent toward me.

I ended up trying DMT a few times, and decided (at least for awhile), that the brain was a "chemical radio," able to be tuned to the different frequencies of reality with these substances. It was a very wispy way of explaining how the brain processes input in an altered state, but worked really well for me at the time.
HP is an interesting example. Due to the book's whimsical nature, the international translators had to come up with very creative translations for certain terms. Any new "unclean" translation should be extremely easy to recognize.
Another great line about translations is that they are like lovers, they can be faithful and they can be beautiful, but you are very lucky if they are both.
Between 1998 and 2020 its IT industry grew to a sizeable share of economy. By 2010, the average salary in IT was 10x the average salary. Moreover, the industry worked mostly within the global economy. with many Belarusian firms subcontracting to FAANG, German powerhouses or growing into big successes in the mobile industry.

Unlike in Armenia or Georgia, the Belarusian IT industry was never a major tax contributor, but its internal spending power was enormous and it transformed the country into a much more livable place.

Since August 9, 2020 this all collapsed. Out of slighly less than 9mln population, 300,000 left the country out of fear of prosecution. Many of them -- from that same IT industry that once defined the bright future of the country.
