This market thing is in place already. At least in Europe it is, I've done a project during my energy engineering study for APEX.

The irony, however, is that it's not all that good for nuclear. When prices go down or even negative, a CHP or windmill is shut down in minutes. The nuclear plant (or ancient coal, or even hydro) will go below cost price, or even havs to pay to deliver electricity, because they can't not deliver. And in Europe we are having a few times of negatively priced electricty per year recently.

And contrary to what many people think, nuclear power is rather expensive. For a small part that's political (subsidies and all), but mostly it's because running
a nuclear plant is expensive; its fuel is expensive as hell (it does burn fuel), and storing its waste "guaranteed" safe for some 5.000 years is expensive (incredible timescales; egyptians building pyramids - to now, timescales). Also expensive is it's cooling facilities: nuclear operates on a steam cycle, so it needs a lot of cooling; many places don't have that (anymore). E.g. in France some plants were shut down because rivers dried up too much and they'd be heating up the remaining "trickle" too much with these plants. That makes it unreliable, the way hydro, tidal, etc can be unreliable too.

There are just so much problems with nuclear power. Again, aside from the political "opinions" on it: these well known percieved risks and such. But that makes it a difficult part of that mix. I do believe it should be a crucial part, but also am convinced that part should be as small as possible, due to those downsides, costs. And, as you say, indeed, in places where there's alternatives, you'll find these alternatives are almost always a better option, cost, timescale and operational wise.
Don't bother, it's clear we have a "doesn't fit in the margin" situation here.
Working in a psych unit trying to improve this process is really eye opening. Some key doctors have put in the effort to turn the inpatient floor from weeks of being trapped to identifying these situations where people simply need actual support established. There's even a special 72 hour turn around program recognizing this situation where the system has failed and what we need is rapid stabilization and setting up the proper support for the person to have therapists, medicine, and support groups while still living their lives. It still has flaws, but there are people that care and are working overtime to fix the system. It's just a very slow process.
Basic question, what problem it solves?

Optical linewidths are influenced by temperature and pressure. Outdoors, humidity can be a factor as well. When I did photoacoustic spectroscopy, we used two or more wavelengths in the measurement; one on resonance, one off resonance to help with background discrimination. I am not sure whether these ultracompact instruments have that capability.

Additionally, contaminants on any surface the light strikes will generate spurious signals. Lock-in (synchronous) detection at the optical source modulation frequency can help get rid of a lot of noise but if the noise appears at that frequency, it will corrupt the measurement.

This classic paper from 1986 covers a lot of what can be done with the technique and how to do it correctly. Reviews of Modern Physics is behind a paywall but there's a copy on the web at the URL below.

No offence, but what are you bringing to the deal? I might be wrong but it sounds like you are "the idea guy" and now you "just" need someone to code your idea.

I often get people asking me to "just" build them and app or "just" write them and e-commerce site, or "just" code up a podcast distribution electron app and backend infrastructure with LLM recommendations for windows, Linux, macros, iOS, and android because hey they've done the hard part of thinking up the idea, now they "just" need someone to code it and run it for them and they'll be rich! How hard can that be? Jeez cooooome on! Just code it! Stop being lazy! /s

Most programmers who can pull that sort of thing off will see the complexity and hard work a mile off so the potential of the idea needs to be genuinely and honestly decent (no "like Uber for ..." nonsense)

Building stuff of anything apart from the most trivial things is hard. Going to uni on the UK is one of the most expensive places in the world - people there are already taking huge amounts of debt to come out with a degree which in itself is a big risk as there is no guarantee of a payoff at the end. Anyone smart will be hoping to come out with a good degree with the hopes of getting a well-paying job at the end of it, not pissing it all up the wall.

I'd recommend to knuckle down and concentrate on your studies first. If you don't know how to program yourself, use your spare time to do so and just build stuff and get experience. Launch a few solo-dev things to again experience and get exposure.

Good luck.
tangential: the modern human genome shows remnants of Neanderthal genes indicating that there was some mixing. Do any of these Neanderthal genomes show any similar mixing in the other direction?

My reply to that is that in fact newspapers, paperback romance and adventure novels, jazz, rhythm and blues, rock music, television, video games and pornography probably have been broadly harmful (particularly to children and teenagers)

You forgot to mention the letter P, which of course stands for Pool.[0]

Seriously, I don't see how one can even call this a falsifiable theory, let alone a "fact". Care to elaborate as to why you believe this?

Your source is a paid advertisement[0] that only lists providers who pay the tax. I'm not really interested in that sort of game. We've done the research and our MI300x pricing is competitive with H100's and even more so if you consider the amount of vram in a MI300x.

I am also not sure if it is deliberate or just realizing that running this stuff is error prone and requires a lot of capex, power and infrastructure. It is difficult to support that at the consumer level, so why bother when enterprises are now offering super computers for rent. It is not their wheelhouse, so I can see why they do not want to take on the extra risk.

theseus's copyright infringement
Adding on with a wall of text diving into the specific differences in projects that either have or haven't attracted Nintendo's legal attention (tl;dr: it's a lot more than just visibility/popularity).

While it's always possible Nintendo will just decide to go after these one day (right or wrong in doing so) that they didn't even attempt to touch this particular type of Mario romhacking scene when Mario Maker came out ~10 years ago makes me think these particular types of projects (patchsets on old games without copyright protection) won't receive much trouble. Doubly so for these types of projects which don't (in and of themselves) make the game playable on unofficial systems.

Nintendo seems largely focused on direct redistribution, non-patchset based remakes, "cracking" of modern game DRM/security to allow modification/unauthorized playing, and distribution of gameplay content on media which have stricter takedown requirements than the law strictly requires (e.g. YouTube). This makes some sense as Nintendo has either previously demonstrated these types of cases in court or has previously signalled they believe they could easily do so if challenged.

While Nintendo, right or wrong in a specific instance, could definitely get away with a decent amount of "legal bullying" of individuals not interested in fighting a legal battle with a large company over their hobby website they aren't necessarily going to be interested in picking tons of such battles if they aren't relatively sure they'd win should one actually result in a real court battle. Setting precedent in court that something is explicitly okay (like 3rd party games, emulation, personal game backups) can sometimes be worse than just letting it ride as an "underground" thing. Particularly if they are defending their property elsewhere and it'd be hard for someone to argue in court these romhacks existing is counter to that.

Anyways, this wall of text is to say: sure, nobody knows what Nintendo is going to do tomorrow, but 20 years of romhacks later they've never hinted at going after this particular type of project, despite going after many nearly identical but slightly differently implemented projects, so the same "get it before Nintendo DMCAs it" comment that one would expect from those threads doesn't necessarily hold the same weight. Not that it's an absolute possibility, anything is possible, but if this type of project were the only one then people wouldn't have the "it'll be DMCA'd by tomorrow" notion.

But do back it up anyways... a great deal many more early efforts have been lost to the sands of time than Nintendo's lawyers.
So you’re saying it’s better to stick to Windows or Linux where you don’t need to pay for an update when you wanted to stay on a specific version, just because your OS updated.

If you're building maintainable servers you should write the doc first and the codegen from there. Otherwise you're gonna be in a world of hurt when some junior changes your datatype or if you need to version and maintained both versions simultaneously from the same or similar endpoints.
I fail to see the difference in “kids following the rules in this one specific case” and statistically we know that kids usually don’t follow the rules that adults set for them if they can get away with it.

Heck even when I was in school kids had beepers (late 80s - early 90s) when they were not allowed to.
This could be a tech-heavy lens, but I feel like some of the innovation in healthcare is driven by a profit motive (and funded by same in a lot of cases).

I don’t know if removing all profit from the system results in an optimal outcome, but I suspect it does not.
How are Rule 506(b) offerings relevant in a post government world?

The point I’m trying to make here is that you’re assuming certain structures will outlive the governments that created the rules in the first place, which seems unlikely given the significant divergence between the goals of government and the goals of for-profit industry (in theory, at least).

For example: I wonder who will tell the folks with nuclear weapons what to do, and insist Rule 506(b) offerings that don’t benefit said folks be respected? Probably something lost in my gulf of misunderstanding. I sure hope so!

The CADR had a convention for the A and M memory (essentially what we would call registers today) for the Lisp Machine microcode where the first 32 locations had special meaning. Location 2 was for constant 0, and 3 for constant -1.
Ah, see...

For me, flying is a bigger ordeal than that.

It's a 30 minute drive to the airport, to which I want to arrive 2 hours before departure to ensure I have enough time to go through security. It's never been more than 30 minutes at my airport, but I don't want to chance it. There's also the time it takes to check my bag and walk to the gate. I'll typically get to my gate an hour early.

I don't fly nearly enough to get access to lounges.

Then when I get there, there's the waiting for my bag, then waiting for transportation...

From the time I leave my house to the time I arrive at the hotel, that 450 mile flight would take me a total of probably around 4 hours. I'd rather just add on another 2 hours and drive myself, especially since that means I'll have my own car when I get there. But I enjoy driving, so that likely influences my choice as much as your access to TSA Precheck (I should get that) and the Delta Lounge, not to mention it being free.
I treat mine as semi. I mean I'm not trying to hide from the government or anything, but yeah I'll say things I might not want to say under my clear name either. Don't we all? We all wear different masks in different groups. We all are different people in different groups too.

We're human, we all have stuff to "hide". I might want to vent about my boss or work and if they heard it that would certainly take it different than it was intended. We even complain about our friends, especially our close friends. Because no relationship is without conflict. But being human we often have to actualize our feelings with words, because we're social creatures. I'll at times complain about my partner, but that doesn't mean they also aren't my favorite person in the world.

To be human requires some anonymity. And no one should feel like they're going to be scrutinized for every little thing they say.
The problem is that it's not a free market either thanks to medical licensing laws, monopoly control over the accreditation of U.S. medical schools, etc. The supply of doctors was even once artificially limited as a matter of policy due to a fear that there would be a "surplus" of doctors (aka fear that doctor salaries would go down).

> The Graduate Medical Education National Advisory Committee convened by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a report in 1980 warning that there would be a “surplus of 70,000 physicians by 1990” if steps were not taken to bring supply and demand into balance.

> This near freeze was enforced by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) and the American Medical Association (AMA), the two sponsors of the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, which is the sole accreditor of allopathic medical schools recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. The decision not to expand the number of slots in U.S. allopathic medical schools remained in place until 2005, when the AAMC and AMA changed their minds from declaring an impending doctor glut to warning of a looming doctor shortage.

I have always been curious about a different approach. Let's say that I interview you and a few other people, and then match you in a party with someone whose skills and character are complementary to yours. Then I match both of you with an idea that suits your party's combined skill set and also has a chance of making money. You're welcome to pivot and try something else after reasonable time and effort was put in. Everything else is boilerplate like 49/51 equity split and vesting schedule so you can focus on delivering maximum value.
Aren't the versions that take 10% of the time only reading each city name once, and then doing an array lookup rather than a hashmap lookup?

This Is the only comment here.. and it's spot on!
There are conflicting systems in macOS at play here as a result of choosing the "Option" key as your "Meta" key. The basics of the Cocoa Emacs Keybindings (DefaultKeyBinding.dict) do allow for M-f/M-b/M-d to work as us Emacs users expect, however there is a conflict with the default US Keyboard Layout, which hijack these useful Option key sequences to allow for the easy input of letters with various diacritic markings. If you want to undo this, you can use a Keyboard Layout Editor like Ukelele[0] to make a custom layout that allows these key sequences to arrive unmolested at the Cocoa input system.

Not so much a lack of courage, but I think lack of funding and low tech salaries in UK compared to US.

You can't afford to take the risks on a middling salary, and there are not many investors locally either so you basically bootstrap on meagre savings, and then have no one to sell the idea to anyway.
LPR is really tricky because weeks of "good behavior" can be undone very easily with one wrong move. It also took me years to figure out it was LPR because it doesn't have traditional acid reflux symptoms and can also look a lot like allergies or other things my doctors labeled it with instead. For me it was especially debilitating because it inflamed my Eustachian tubes, which meant my middle ears filled with way too much fluid, and i'd have 5+ hour long vertigo attacks where i literally could not move a single inch and was vomiting the entire time and sometimes only had a few minutes of warning before this started. if this happened in public, which it thankfully never did in a way i couldn't get home or to my car quickly (to pass out in the back seat and barf out the window), it would have been absolutely awful. the other shitty symptom as i said was extremely dry eyes, like painfully dry, which i think was actually more just them stinging which feels identical to dry. no amount of eye drops helped, and i tried like 6 different types.

anyway lots of tips online for LPR that are true for me:

* nothing carbonated. this is one of the worst things i can do

* nothing acidic. some fruit juices like pineapple in particular are really, really bad for me. coffee, even with milk and ice and sugar, is also really bad for me. overly acidic foods (vinegar, tomato based stuff, etc) are also bad.

* anything spicy is really bad too

* no caffeine

* stopping eating before i feel full. this is hard for me because i've been a "eat until i'm stuffed" person my entire life and it's really satisfying for me to do so.

* stopping drinking helps but i got symptoms to go away pretty well even with moderate+ levels of drinking. but mostly just sticking to liquor and no cocktails or beer or seltzers. wine seems okay.

* sitting upright after eating for at least an hour or two

* not eating for at least a few hours before bed

* exercise helps a bit but isn't critical for me

* daily allergy pill and nasal spray, even missing one day sucks

dry eyes are my first symptom that i did something "wrong". once i learned to listen to that it helped a ton. if i do "wrong" things for like a week straight, the constant dizziness starts, and if i go on much further than that then the vertigo attacks start.
Does PyCharm support it already?
Right you could go against the rest of the world and continue with privatized care. I’m sure it could work much better if free markets were enforced, but it’s very much the opposite. US markets are extremely entrenched, especially in highly regulated sectors. Markets are cornered by PE, by acquisitions, by frivolous lawsuits, any means possible to get dominance. And there’s no functioning anti-trust law, so you get the opposite of free markets. Even Milton Friedman claimed that governments have a necessary obligation to interfere to preserve free markets.
It could also mean 3 meters. Context is everything. The lowercase m would be more widely understood in this context.
Ruby is the best thing you can ever get from a dynamically typed language. Its syntax as intuitive ad you can possibly get. Anything beyond that would already be a plain English.

On top of that it has a decent and friendly to beginners community promoting good code style and practices.

RoR is just a superior choice on many levels.

Doesn’t mean that it is perfect all weather tool (far from it) but its a solid beginners choice to avoid any regrets looking back.
> Good design would command a stricter separation of concerns/sub-systems (some LISP machine people will disagree, and I say it because there are a ton of them on HN, of course).

The Lisp Machine did have a good and strict separation of concerns, probably much better than UNIX even.
This is essentially how my team works, however, we do two weeks sprints so that we can package all of our code and deploy it to our customer machines once every two weeks. It works better when we have more lenient managers who are comfortable with work spilling over if necessary, but I’ve had some managers that make that a little more uncomfortable.
I wonder if we will Jurassic Park a neanderthal one day, that would be interesting (meaning, make a living neanderthal probably by putting the genome in a human cell & getting it to develop into a fetus likely in a human womb, etc). I'm happy I'm not that neanderthal person.
The Cayenne (and also the VW Touareg which is it based on) is an offroad exotic supercar platform from the bottom up- the handling, engineering, etc. is really unique. It is also, by now, and outdated design that is over 20 years old and not changed very much. It is also a very heavy vehicle with a suspension and chassis that can survive hard offroad racing- jumping it large distances, and landing it hard, etc. The frame, suspension, etc. - it can also tow as much as a full sized pickup truck.

You can get a base model with a smaller engine, but it is still a high performance car design from the ground up. They are also pretty small inside- not much more room than a VW Golf. Yes, (wealthy) people take their kids to school and soccer practice in them. I also take my kid to school in my Boxster... which also on paper is slower than a lot of regular Japanese passenger cars, which in practice it could easily lap on a track because it handles so much better.

To really understand the Cayenne, look at a fully equipped model with air suspension, multiple differential locks, skid plates, sway bar disconnects, and a twin turbo V8 - and look at what people on YouTube do with them. Also look at the V10 and V12 Touareg models.

If you're into performance car driving, you will notice that a Cayenne drives nothing like those other SUVs even if the specs on paper are the same. On a track (off road or paved) with a skilled driver it will easily lap those other vehicles. Specs don't account for finely tuned weight distribution, handling, braking, steering etc. that make a Porsche a Porsche, or the fact that all of the systems (oil supply, etc.) can survive sustained high rpm high g-force track use which would destroy other cars quickly.

You are also misunderstanding my point about efficiency- obviously Porsche cares about efficiency, but they don't design or advertise their vehicles to get low fuel consumption. Efficiency factors into the overall vehicle- more powerful, more range, etc. Improved fuel efficiency is also a selling point, but not the main one.
What barriers prevent them from working in private practice?

As a non-American I assume that Kaiser implements some sort of barriers to stop smaller competitors from rising up?
You don't really need slaves in a hunter and gatherer society (no agriculture, no construction, no mining = no backbreaking work that free people are loath to do), and you don't really have the institutions to keep them from running away.

As far as our observations of Stone Age people go, if they catch someone, they either kill them or make them a permanent member of the group.
Based on my observation, out of 10 "build in public" posts, probably 5 or 6 are sharing revenue

Based on my observation, all the social platforms are now circling the drain of optimizing for engagement, and posts about $$$ get 100x higher engagement than posts about product development insights, reflections, etc.

So the small subset of posts that actually make it to your timeline to be observed are often the ones about money.

That's been my experience building in public so far.
