> In the US long term storage absolutely exists

In one sense it does exist (i.e. it's buried in salt beds 2,000 feet below surface), but is it safe?

In 2014 there was an explosion of a waste container and radioactive particles were spread throughout the facility and up to the surface by the air processing equipment in the mine.

It seems like it's not just a binary choice, but more of a continuum of how safe is the particular solution compared to others.
This looks exactly what I have been looking for to put outside of my home office to keep my family from interrupting me during work meetings. Thanks for sharing it!
What's the catch? Why post this?
Former Mozilla employee here.

The fact that they are writing their own bytestream abstraction does not bode well.

That said, I hope they succeed at shipping something, even if it’s not competitive with Chrome.

My previous thoughts on the topic:
Why you can’t build a web browser and why you should anyway.

Ever been on Aliexpress? I was roughly converting prices from € to $ and adding some spare for tolerance, here’s what I actually paid:

LED Matrix: 5 for 6,33€ (that is 1,27€ each)

ESP32 C3 Supermini: 3 for 3,56€ (1,19€ each)

There’s scrap acrylic at my makerspace so I was guessing, make it 10€ and I’m at 23€ or so.

What numbers do you not believe?
Can't get past the intro sentence without getting triggered. No, most people cannot fix a bike. As evidenced by the horrid shape most bikes are in. Heaven help folks that get the brakes so that they need to replace pads. You are as often to see people that ruined rims as you are to see people that did that correctly.

Don't get me wrong, there is something there. Everyone can be trained to fix older mechanical things. This is true. And I, for the life of me, cannot understand why people get bikes that need apps to run. That is just baffling.

So, change this to "ebikes are not being designed with repairability in mind" and I think I lose near all of my complaint. I do have worries about people not realizing how powerful ebikes are. Reminds me of early dirt motorcycles you could work on back in the day. Didn't take too many kids getting hurt before people took those seriously, I don't think. Odd to see us go right back down that path all because a lot of parents assume the battery tech is the same as it was a decade or so ago.
Ah. Thank you. I clicked, saw “text placeholder”, scrolled down, got that email pop up and that’s it. I guess my ad blocking/coockie/dns stuff is working.
There is a whole lot more to this than just whether content creators or publishes should get paid, and whether there should be ad blockers (and whether they get paid).

There are people who have been fed up by this because they remembered how the web was like in the late 90s, before social media pushes became the dominant experience. People have formulated ideas around the Small Web (https://benhoyt.com/writings/the-small-web-is-beautiful/), or even opted out of the browser ecosystem entirely with Gemini (https://geminiprotocol.net/) or keep the torch burning for Gopher (https://hackaday.com/2021/09/28/gopher-the-competing-standar...)

From there, it is also a short hop and skip away to folks working on local-first (https://localfirstweb.dev/), decentralization, collapse computing (https://100r.co/site/philosophy.html and http://collapseos.org/)
One can only hope we can get a browser the same way we got Linux, but as RMS was fond of pointing out, Linux’s success had a lot to do with the existence of a full suite of GNU software that could run on top of a new kernel. If only we had something like GNU with browser engines, I’d be more optimistic about the chances for success of many new entrants.
Fedora is a "move fast maybe sometimes break things" distro, e.g., early adoption of Btrfs as the default, Wayland etc.

So yeah, these things sometimes happen.

This feels pretty combative, and unhelpful. Which leads me to think it's bad faith.

The problem with cyclical view appears as soon as one tries to review the underlying causes why this movement happens. You can have rises, prosperity, overshoots, bad habits, slowdowns and depressions coming one after another in a mostly closed system. Or you may consider a system which can be affected by externalities, those which can be so powerful as to cause opium depression or technology copying rise. It's a little like pendulum with external forces, which dictate what's the actual behavior of the pendulum is - disregarding its own internal properties.
Yes - it's just a digital spirit level of sorts, that instead of being calibrated to align with the ground is calibrated such that, based on typical angles and dimensions of a human body leads to the wearer holding their arm up in front of them with the device in line with the heart.

Here's what it looks like, the device won't start until you've got the ball to hover in the middle circle, but it has no way of knowing if you're doing it properly or if you're lying down or leaning your body forwards or whatever else would mean that the angles no longer put it level with your heart.

edit to add: so when used correctly it looks roughly like this - https://m.media-amazon.com/images/S/aplus-media/vc/573a171a-...

Basically the same logic as, for traditional upper arm cuff devices, giving the instruction to rest your arm on something next to you that allows your forearm to be resting both comfortably and straight, parallel to the floor - which again, doesn't technically mean the middle of your upper arm must be level with your heart, but since nobody would really be comfortable putting their forearm flat on a low down coffee table or a high up standing desk it works as a proxy that's simpler than asking people to think about lining anything up with their internal organs.
As if training an IA model required a whole datacenter .. my god, what a joke

Let's say, 1 GPU per RU on average (using the 8RU 8GPU from supermicro, and excluding a couple of RU for top of racks etc)

How much GPU can you run in an ENTIRE DATACENTER ?
Is power even an issue ? In France, we have many datacenters located near power supply, for obvious reasons

To this point, honestly, and considering that datacenters runs millions of CPU today, this entire article seems like typical microsoft bullshit

Given that much of the tone of the discussion here is not only dismissive of the report but the link has been actively suppressed via flagging, I don't think it's credible to argue there is some kind of organized anti-RMS "manipulation" happening here.

(I don't think there's some kind of organized pro-RMS manipulation happening, either. I think there's a fairly large segment of HN readers who minimize credible reports of RMS's reprehensible behavior because of his past accomplishments and his importance to the free software movement.)
In another words: UX nightmare!

The extra information isn't to condescend. It's for other people that want to know more about the science.
It’s not real funding, it’s a power purchase agreement from something that may never be built! No different from Microsoft’s previous fusion power purchase agreement. The Goog may as well announce they’ve reserved office space in a building to be built on Proxima Centauri B.

Just tech virtue signalling: Google/Microsoft trade the impression that they’re relevant leaders for some legitimacy for a blue sky startup.

> doctors based on experience found things that worked better at treating patients. and they also had completely wrong theoretical models to rationalize these things.

And in truth this is a lot of what Asimov was talking about. Because it is how accurate the theoretical model is.

I'll often say that "truth doesn't exist" but I'm careful about my context. Truth doesn't exist because it requires infinite information. But that doesn't mean we can't trend towards it. This statement is no different than "all models are wrong, but some models are useful."

This is why I talk about science not actually being able to prove things, but rather about ruling things out. That's what is important. The model is always wrong but is it improving? If it is having a better total outcome and able to explain more than the previous model, then yes. That's the thing. It has to be able to explain what the last model does, and more. If it can't do both those things, then it isn't progress (yet at least).

And I think our only distinction of scientific progress here is that you might need to consider that this is a high dimensional problem, with many basis vectors. What science is, is what is observable and testable. I jokingly call physics "the subset of mathematics that reflects the observable world." (This is also a slight at String Theory...)

> Roughly speaking, China had the largest GDP in the world for more than 1000 years

I'm not arguing for degrowth, nor am I discrediting the work of science. I'm observing humanity has failed to have a constructive conversation around climate change, leading to the necessity of solutions like this.

I have no idea what the solution is, I've already admitted it's complex. But it's frightening that the conversation immediately devolves into assumptions about one's stance, and immediate disagreement with that stance. Even on a website like HN. That's a big problem, no?
Yes, indeed, but a study of the streams of thoughts and feelings that barge into our attention is more obviously fruitful to our improving our personal and collective well-beings. Learning how to discern negative/selfish/callous/viceous impulses from the positive/selfless/compassionate/virtuous ones is at the heart of the meaning of life and the purpose of our mind's abilities, as well as the human race's future.

I can't recommend Castaneda's work, but it does present interesting perspectives on intention and attention, even if I'm not sold that he was an honest or accurate or even well-intentioned narrator. That said, the character of Don Juan conveys much wisdom, but are the books allegorical fiction or fantastical non-ordinary-but-actual reality? I don't know yet, and maybe I never will.

> When people want to live in big sprawling suburbs with nice homes, you just can't get this. It's not possible.

What you call "not possible" is where I live, so clearly it is possible.

Trying to shoehorn all solutions into one and only one way of doing things turns people off and hinders progress.

Sure you can have dense urban areas that are walkable/cycleable. You can also have suburbs that are walkable/cycleable. Instead of turning people away from a good cause by telling them they can't have the life they want, let's promote walkable/cycleable communities in all areas.
Based on other threads here, it doesn't seem like there is universal consensus that this is dumb.
But you can’t differentiate it… unless you have some method that you can share?

> Bill Gates has a huge stake in his TerraPower nuclear reactor company.

And the deadlines keep getting pushed because the fuel supplier is Russia. Nuclear is not immune to geopolitics or the weather as this comment suggests. It's one of the many issues comments like this ignore - like the spiraling construction costs (even in China), risk trade off when it comes to the catastrophic nature of accidents, viability and enormous costs of clean up and waste storage etc.
> "Because people assume they have adequate information, they enter judgment and decision-making processes with less humility and more confidence than they might if they were worrying whether they knew the whole story or not,"

People do know. What they know might not be so. What is the point of this common sense analysis? Seems like "check your facts" stretched out to an unwieldy length.
> develop a fully compatible browser engine

Do we need more "fully compatible" engines? I could imagine there are use cases for browser engines that work with just parts of the specification, particularly the most common ones used in the wild.
I'm grateful that my 2019 Norco Section uses a round seatpost, threaded Shimano BB, and standard cockpit; I deplore the "self-adjusting" D-shaped Giant seatpost on my girlfriend's bike (which is subtly off-centre and takes all kinds of witchery to approximate the ease with which I can adjust a standard seatpost), as well as the mess of BBs and integrated cockpits that are becoming common even on mid-range road & gravel bikes. When I buy my next bike, I will go out of my way to select something using standardized parts. I very much hope something akin to the Framework laptop comes to market in cycling, where the entire machine is built to be user-serviceable with off-the-shelf, readily available parts. I put something like 20,000 km commuting to school on my early 1970s Raleigh Record, which I rebuilt almost completely with my brother, and it was a gloriously simple machine that I miss dearly today.

I provided reasons some in my original post. But not everyone looking for a CMS is terminally online and plugged into X/HN tech circles nor care when creating a website for their client's muffler shop.

Those who do not like the SaaS business models for whatever reason (and there are many) still have incentive to use WordPress, a fork, or some other open source CMS.

I don't understand why the social death of WP/Matt M. equals the demise of open source content management in general.

If anything, with AI empowering more people to do technical things I see a bigger opening for open source CMSs going forward. Training data for open source stuff will be all over the web, while training data for WebFlow and squarespace etc. will be largely limited to their support site which might even be gated.

Sure, that's "technically" correct but most usage of Lora is going to be in ISM since that's where they are traditionally deployed. That doesn't require a license which can be a hurdle if you don't already have one.

I've got a ham license so not a big deal for me but for those wanting to try radios without a huge investment a pair of $20 Lora AT serial radios are a great way to dip into digital radio.

Highly efficient Mini-split heatpumps are becoming simpler for the moderately technical homeowner to install everyday. 5-6 years ago installation typically involved a vacuum pump, a gauge set, sometimes a flaring tool to re-dress factory terminated line fittings, etc. Fairly inexpensive new 4th gen Mini-split heatpumps are drop-shipped from Amazon, have pre-evacuated line-sets that just bolt up to the inside head and pre-charged outside compressor units. I wonder how wide availability of these relatively cheap units are going to impact the bullish picture described in the WSJ article.

Strange, socially awkward people who make other people uncomfortable to the point of triggering their threat responses tend not to keep their jobs for long in the real world. We even have a name for them: creeps.

There's a reason why codes of conduct, especially the Contributor Covenant, are de rigueur in the open source world. They help keep the creeps and the fash out, and make the work environment more harmonious.

RMS is a creep who's been grandfathered in because he came from a time when creeps were much more tolerated. Times have changed, and so have values. We are far less tolerant of creeps, no matter how talented they may otherwise be because they disrupt the working environment unacceptably. It's time for that grandfather clause to end.

What do you consider ironic about two groups of long-isolated (from each other) humans making contact and there being conflict?

There are no similar events at this scale to compare to (what is your context for irony?).

Looking at the smaller-scale examples, the presence of conflict seems entirely consistent, and hardly ironic.

I’m guessing you’re reading “brought together” as some sort of idiom for happiness and mutual understanding. That would be an incorrect reading, in which you are adding your own meaning and assumptions to what was written. Take it more literally.
