It's clear that a small number of mostly older people suffered unduly from the stress of an imposed evacuation.

It's not clear that this is a specifically nuclear issue.

Had an area been evacuated due to earthquakes making the ground unstable, due to extreme bushfires destroying every building, would the stress on the elderly be any less?

Those are the facts of the case. Whether a murder occurred at all is rarely subjective.
Nice. Is that the default yet? The article doesn't suggest there's a downside to sandboxing Defender. If so, that should be the default.
Yes and no. A lot of it depends on how the low fan-out tree is laid out in memory. Also some binary tree structures (e.g. binary heaps) are often stored in an array with one child implied and only the other child index stored in each node. In such cases chasing down the child references may no be more expensive that searching inside a B(+)-tree node.
> International laws prohibit trafficking of non-functional e-waste containing toxic substances

I wonder if that makes the problem worse by making it hard to ship e-waste to places where it can be more efficiently recycled, so instead it ends up in places where corruption lets it in but there are no recycling facilities beyond "pickers?"
We're back to "is the purpose of a defence contractor to siphon public money, or is there a war currently on which might impact the personal lives of the C-suite of the defence contractor?"
> trying to jump on a "hot topic" bandwagon

I don't know exactly what they hope to gain by jumping on that bandwagon though; neither the physicists nor the computer scientists are going to value this at all. And dare I say, the general populace associated with the two fields isn't going to either - case in point, this hn post.

If there weren't any noble-worthy nominations for physics, maybe skip it? (Although that hasn't happened since 1972 across any field)
> Re-using devices helps us also reduce the number of new devices needed...

You buy a device with a rechargeable battery, the device has an expected lifetime of 15 years but the battery is dead after 5. I try to open the device, but it’s clearly not designed to be opened.
After prying with knives, etc I get it open and see that it’s not a standard cell, like 18650, but a custom pack.
I emailed the manufacturer and they reply with ‘we don’t make it any more’

So I am on to my 3rd beard trimmer. And I buy the most expensive model available, it’s not like I am cheating out.

Is that even "possible"? As in, they have to follow the rules of the organization, which have some criteria laid out. Not sure who could stop them from changing, though.

In addition to the other replies, he is the only US president in modern history to explicitly authorize the assassination of a US citizen without a trial, and create a legal doctrine allowing future presidents to do so; and he was the major escalator of the use of drone strikes in war (the practice started with Bush, but it expanded many fold under Obama).
Yeah, attack helicopters means you have ATGMs with twice the range and very good optics for battlefield awareness. Sure manpads means it's difficult to use them over contested territory, but they are still very strong if you keep them on your side of the front.

Why not? If it doesn't, where do you draw the line, apart from "absolutely no javascript at all"?
Obama intervened in the Libyan civil war. The outcome was disastrous for Libya (13 years of chaos and counting, the entrance of ISIS into Libya, the re-emergence of slavery in Libya, to name a few consequences). Obama blatantly violated the War Powers Act, which requires the President to seek Congressional approval for any war waged abroad after 60 days. The act was passed on the tail end of the Vietnam War, to prevent a repeat of things like Nixon invading Cambodia in secret. The US Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war, but that power is absolutely meaningless if the President can just wage war wherever he chooses without a declaration.

Obama specifically won the Nobel Peace Prize for talking about his "vision of a world free from nuclear weapons" as a candidate. As President, he initiated a massive program to upgrade the US' nuclear arsenal. It made a complete mockery of the Nobel Peace Prize, though Kissinger also won the Nobel Peace Prize, so it's not as if the prize has any credibility anyways.

So, I was drawing an eagle for a new imprint, and I needed a reference for good looking claws. So I used my Google Images search shortcut to get pictures of eagles, and it was almost all AI. If you ask yourself the question, eagle claws suffer from the same problem that human hands go through with AI, so it's completely useless.

Yandex images search is flawless though.

If a person can have a fetus removed from their body without invasive or dangerous surgery and still have it survive, I don't see too many ethical issues with limits on abortion where it's more than just a small clump of cells.

The whole issue with restricting abortion is no one is entitled to the use of my body, even if they need it to live. However if they don't require another person's body and could instead survive outside the body, I think abortion becomes morally worse than allowing it to come to term in an artificial womb.

McCloud "Understanding Comics" (1993) points out that most of us are initially drawn in by the visual differences between different comics, but this is succeeded by the discovery of a series of other dimensions, finally winding up with appreciation for the craft of story.

For programs, I don't think anyone's told a story as comprehensive as McCloud did about comics [it's even left a small literature in its wake], but the discussion of Figure 1 on pp8-10 of https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/uploads/prod/2016/1... could be a start in terms of untangling superficial details from deeper aspects?

So much this. I too read the book when I was very young, and enjoyed it for its awesome mix sci-fi, absurdity, dry humour and absolute classic one-liners.

What I love about it now is how it presents a view of life in the universe as entirely random, but mostly harmless and fun, and that interplanetary exploration is something you would do as a hitchhiker on an adventure, rather than a conqueror chasing resources.

That vision really lifts me when contemplating the future and our place in it when we reach for the stars.
How about a "Nobel Memorial Prize in Computer Sciences" similar to the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Memorial_Prize_in_Econ...
Each of the Nobel prizes is awarded by a different committee from a different organization. The Nobel Peace prize was established at the same time and in the same way as the Literature, Physics, Physiology or Medicine, and Chemistry prizes (through Alfred Nobel's will). Of course, by its nature, it is the most political of the prizes.

The only Nobel prize that is separate is the Economics one, which was established much later and has no connection to Alfred Nobel (it is paid for by Sweden's central bank instead of the Nobel estate). But even that one is administered by the same Nobel foundation.
And I'm of the opinion that we'll not change our political economies without a material society adjustment, a threshold recognition between an emotional reasoning and a more controlled rational level of reasoning. Basically maturity; we've got a material volume of immature adults that derail any and all public and many private conversations with immature observations, short sighted reasoning, and the belief that their unprofessional opinion carries weight with those whose careers are the issue at hand. Until we do something about these, frankly, idiots, we're left adrift in a culture of unintended chaos.

I have to politely disagree. If you ever run a website for business/portfolio etc. the number of people more likely to contact you using a contact form is far greater than just telling them to email you. Contact forms also scale well if you need to categorize and channel the queries to different people or need more specific info.

Nobel prize was awarded to theoretical work in 2021: https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/2021/popular-infor...

"theoretical physics" is such a big and ambiguous concept that physicists tend not to use the word in discussions. Thereotical work often involves a lot of numerical simulation on super computers these days which are kind of their own "experiments". And it is usually more productive to just mention the specific field, e.g. astronomy, condensed matter, AMO etc, and you can be sure there is always a lot of discoveries in each area.
Great trailblazing! Now we just need Zig GPU ;)
As a former Alumni of Hinton’s MOOC I can attest to his humble, kind nature and clarity, & erudition as a teacher.

Modelling learning as entropy, and heat in his Boltzmann machines was genius as was the 1980s backdrop paper.

Geoff tirelessly evangelised neural nets and machine learning right from his 1970s phd days at Edinburgh.

Despite being in the academic wilderness during the many decades of symbolic AI.

Moore’s law ( & parallel processing via GPUs ) finally caught up with Geoff’s vision and proved him right.

Well deserved !

VC Horror Stories
I think everybody is confusing the means and the ends, when it comes to these wars. They are not sacrificing people as cannon fodder because they are desperate to win the wars, instead the wars are the excuse for the real purpose, which is to have people killed. A sacrifice to demonic entities, whether they are imagined or not. The literal creation of hell on earth – that is not imagined.

The Aztecs and other ancient people like the Vikings didn't make excuses, they made war for it's own sake to please the entities they were worshipping with the blood of men.
Now that's an interesting perspective, it makes me think of the (A)GPL and Free compared to Open Source software.

By this definition Claude Shannon (the father of Information Theory) clearly deserves a Nobel in Physics. The central concept in Information Theory is Entropy which is defined literally the same way as in Physics. And Shannon's Information Theory clearly revolutionized our life (tele-communications) much more than Hopfield network or Hinton's Boltzmann machine.
> it’s hard to do experiments at the boundaries of what we know

this applies primarily to fundamental physics. There are many areas of applied physics (materials, fusion, biophysics, atmospheric physics, etc. etc.) where the main constrain is understanding complex systems. These areas are quite crucial for society.

Haber-Bosch predates the world wars.
The contrast in discoveries made in 'core' physics in the first 25 years of the last centuries compared to this century is quite insane, it was never going to be sustainable. If it did sustain we would be colonising a new galaxy by now.

Consider that in 1900 the atom wasn't discovered yet, within around 25 years the basic principles of quantum physics were established, to say nothing about discoveries in cosmology (GR + big bang).
> reused with fast reactors

Please name an industrial ready-to-deploy fast reactor. AFAIK there it doesn't exist, therefore its (after decades of expensive R&D in many nations) just a vague hope, not a potential part of the solution.

One needs to draw a line when it's too painful. There's a precedent - both symlinked and unsymlinked profiles exist and migration is fragile, sometimes you have to rebuild everything anyway. There could be time32 and time64 profiles like that as well, with former eventually deprecated.
I studied physics in the 90s and we had an NNs course, where most of the models were inspired by physics (MLPs was just one). NNs have been used since decades for identifying e.g. the trajectories of particles at CERN. I remember Hinton's work with Sejnowski (who probably should also be awarded). I was actually surprised to find out that Hinton was not a physicist by training

Obviously physicists take great interest in models of the brain or models of intelligence. All of physics is modeling , after all
