You are right. I read their posts as the ramblings of someone who is currently in shock, found a bunch of bad practices in the logging + data retention, and is now just tongue-in-cheek mocking (the puns...) everything even if they don't have much experience with it. I would probably say something similarly incorrect if I found some perl and tried to understand it because I know nothing about writing maintainable perl.
Maybe that "AJR" trio of academics should have added a historian? Because anyone who thinks China is unique in being a big economic success story is profoundly ignorant of history.

> And yet the rich spend vastly more money than poor

You're just totally ignoring the effect of effective tax rates.

Sure, the billionaire spent way more money than the poor person. But who spent a higher percentage of their income? And who had vastly more opportunity to spend that in a place outside of that sales tax jurisdiction? Are the poor people flying to other countries to buy their luxury goods?

To you, is society fairer for poor person and the billionaire to pay the same nominal amount or the same tax rate? Is it even fair/good for the poor and the wealthy to pay the same for either of these values?
But what the FCC is charged with is political/legal, not technical, decisionmaking. It makes sense to me that this means the main skill required is political/legal, and consulting with subject matter experts where required.

It's almost certainly not a large set of people. It's probably no larger than the set of professors and grad students who could use it. But it does seem very useful to those people. Incidentally, that's basically the same people that TeX was meant for originally.
It's pretty interesting how this design turned out, RocksDB for example I believe is well over 200,000 lines. I originally wrote it in GO, well the base of it:

https://github.com/guycipher/lsmt

Then once I felt ok with what I had I took what I had in GO and painstakingly rewrote it to C++, (originally was gonna be C). Why GO first? I honestly write a lot more GO than C++ lately so I'm faster at writing in GO. Not to say I don't write C++. I've been writing code for 15+ years, C++ was one of my first languages at 14 years old, just haven't been writing it everyday. This project has changed that pretty dramatically!

Israel is a signatory nation as I have laid out in quotes from the West Point article above. Lebanon may or may not be from what I can tell, but that doesn't affect whether or not Israel is bound.

I'm willing to believe that the author of the Just Security article knows better than I do on this matter, and is someone who would be in a position to know such things, as well as the author of the West Point article.

I'm not trying to appeal to authority here, but these are subject matter experts, and we admittedly both are not, and so I don't really have any reason not to believe their arguments, which are thoroughly sourced.

What do you find lacking in their assessment that Israel is bound by Article 7(2)? Do you agree or disagree with their conclusions? Lebanon's status on that matter is somewhat beside the point.
> I myself have found a lot of joy in the process of AI-generated art.

Harder to make this argument with encrypted distributed filesystems. If I'm storing a single chunk of an encrypted blob on Filecoin, am I responsible for the entire file even if I don't know what's in it, and I'm only storing a single fragment?
90% of single-implementation interfaces (in Kotlin on Android projects I've seen) are internal (package/module private, more or less.) So no, they are not meant to be extended or substituted, and tests are their only raison d'etre (irony: I've almost never seen any actual tests...) This is insane because there are other tools you can use for testing, like an all-open compiler plugin or testing frameworks that can mock regular classes without issues.

An interface with a single implementation sometimes makes sense, but in the code I've seen, such things are cludges/workarounds for technical limitations that haven't been there for more than a decade already. At least, it looks that way from the perspective of a polyglot programmer who has worked with multiple interface-less OOP languages, from Smalltalk to Python to C++.
but ppl say wind+solar+batteries are already much cheaper. Why then pour money in nuclear? Unless things are a bit more complicated...
Yes, Namecheap remains my second choice.
Cloudflare's interface is so clean, and its transparent pricing ensures you never have to second guess costs or worry about being overcharged, especially useful when managing many domains.
The problems mathematicians tend to be interested in are those that have a short description in a formal language yet the proof is likely not very compressible via the language. I.e., you can easily get the index of any statement in the formal language of PA but finding the index of either the statement or its negation in an enumeration of the theorems of PA is significantly more difficult. It’s equivalent to the halting problem in a general sense because the statement and its negation may be independent of PA in which case the enumeration program never halts.

What does this mean? These problems are like the Busy Beaver analogue for formal mathematical systems, which implies that if you solve one, in theory you solve entire classes of lower complexity problems simultaneously (similar to how BB(5) solves the halting problem for all programs below a certain complexity).
Storj, Filecoin, etc. fill this gap but it's still really hard to earn enough to justify the effort at small scales.
> Is Uranium relatively easy to find to power these reactors […]

Yes. Uranium is (currently?) cheap and plentiful, to the point that nuclear 'waste' fuel reprocessing isn't generally economically worth it: it's cheaper to store in and buy new fuel.

If the price of uranium does ever spike or becomes harder to get to, then reprocessing can become an option.
Alleges? All you have to do is watch some clips of the meeting where they openly discuss his Twitter account, and how they don’t like his hurricane comments, to know this is a textbook first amendment problem.

Sure - I might not like them either; but the people there seemed clueless that the first amendment existed. It’s even more nonsensical considering the US Military was the petitioner, not SpaceX.

I have been working for a company which allowed full remote work without any qualms since before COVID and nobody did video calls back then. Since we end up on site in secure environments we also just get told to disable the camera in the BIOS as part of our laptop hardening.

We have a fixed overhang on the side of our house instead of an awning. It’s a lot less maintenance, but it is a foot or two too short.

The problem is that we keep getting 20F-above-normal days in the fall when it lets the sun into the house.

I wonder if global warming will create a business opportunity for retrofitting houses like ours.
Nuclear only runs about 95% of the time. You still need to deal with grid complexities.

What does a one-time donation between $10k and $100k do to help the second case? Perhaps it will allow the maintainer to take a few months off and work full-time on the project, or maybe hire someone to clear the backlog. But what happens afterward? Without a clear pathway to making the project self-sustaining, you've merely postponed maintainer burnout by a couple of years at best.

The biggest problem with occasional $15 donations is that they're occasional. Sustainability requires a somewhat stable ARR.

Fucashma happened in 2011, their up over 4x since then with the total share of electricity from nuclear in China roughly doubled. It’s just nowhere close to the changes seen in renewable generation.

China is already trying to use coal as a peaking generation something it’s terrible at. That’s something nuclear is even worse at and what’s ultimately limiting their nuclear ambitions. They slowed down the pass of nuclear construction despite nuclear only making up ~5% of their electricity supply it’s simply an issue with nuclear not regulations.
> considering acceleration of scaling solar/wind/battery production & it's fast deployment, they may as well wait 5-8 years and build the stuff then

Do you have sources for your time scale?

The acceleration is massive and from a massively tiny baseline. AI is predicted to add 0.8% energy growth a year to American power use [1]; lots of that is going into gas.

> unless you have huge overcapacity of all of them

There is the political reality that what’s been built has voting employees and tangibility in a way what is to be built does not. That’s the danger in our deployment of gas turbines. If we hit an energy surplus, the first to get cut will be things not yet built, even if those are renewables. (Think: phase out of subsidies, maybe even grid charges.) Some enlightened jurisdictions will continue shutting down gas turbines to replace them with solar, maybe even nukes, but most won’t.

I think you're part of a small group for sure.

I only use suspend/sleep because it's much faster to get back to what I was doing. If I shutdown I have to open everything again and some things (Fusion 360 for example) take a good 30-60 seconds to open the program and documents and be in a usable state.
Never updating within several days of anything important works well in my experience.

Although the specific hardware matters as well—an Intel Macbook’s Facetime HD abomination with its out-of-tree drivers was a source of constant frustration; by contrast, the Framework’s camera (the old one, not the one released recently) has been solid enough that I don’t actually know what it is.
If you have a very complex equation then it will be a lot easier to read it and think about it if it's typeset correctly than if it's written in monospaced ASCII in Julia/Python/Java/C++/Rust/Haskell/Whatever.

So then you have two options:

- compile the typeset equation to code

- hand-code the equation

Forscape is a third option, perhaps more akin to a Jupyter-style notebook, where you write equations and text but you can "run" those equations. Literate programming isn't quite this, not unless you automatically get codegen from your equations.
Even in the US, most people (50+% of the population) certainly doesn't regularly (say, more than once a decade) travel by plane.

Vogtle capacity factor is at 91%. That won't do for a datacenter.

This is exactly why highly energy intensive consumers are still connected to the grid, and NOT to individual power plants.

In a grid with increasing proportion of renewable energy (wind/solar), it becomes less and less appealing to build nuclear plants because the amount of time that those plants are not competitive increases (=> whenever wind/sun is available).

Even in China, basically the only country where nuclear power is being added at a non-negligible rate right now, nuclear output is being eclipsed by wind/solar already, and those are growing much faster, too: More wind power was added in China since 2019 than the total nuclear power right now (~400TWh/year), and absolutely no trend reversal is in sight.

A friend of mine worked in sales for a big national gym. Not understanding their business model, he proposed a program that would generate some excitement among the membership and bring many of them in daily to participate. It didn't get shot down, it just didn't get any interest at all. When I explained it his eyes went wide, like it was a new idea to him. This strategy doesn't seem to be widely shared even with their own sales force.

He left and is now working for a company that actually wants its customers to use its product more.
It feels like we're in a golden age of hard tech:

* a ton of private investment in nuclear power [1]

* AI models performing at PhD-level on some tasks [2]

Weirdly enough I love being on a plane (and airports). There's something psychologically freeing about them that I feel whenever I fly. I look forward to flying so much. And it's not like I'm flying first class or anything - I fly economy every time.

Maybe if I flew more frequently I'd grow to dislike it (I fly maybe once a year), but honestly airports and flying are my favorite part of a trip (yes, I like them more than any possible destination). TBF I haven't flown to anywhere particularly exciting but I fail to imagine any place matching the pleasure of an airport + flight. After writing this it sounds ridiculous but I'm 100% serious - I can't quite explain why I enjoy it so much.
> The more time passes, the less I can shake the feeling that the world would be better if we tuned out our environment less.

Agreed 100%. Apologies for linking to my own essay, but I think this can be more generally stated as a difference between "isolated" and "integrated" arts. A device like the Vision Pro (and most tech devices, for that matter) is pushing society further and further into isolated chambers, and thus further incentivizing media and creators to focus on creating isolated aesthetic experiences, not ones that are integrated with the environment.

This is such a baseline unquestioned assumption that we have about the structure of the tech economy, that to think a company like Apple would make a device that brings people together in the real world seems absurd.

I wrote a bit more about this idea here:
https://onthearts.com/p/modern-culture-is-too-escapist-part
Well put! Though I would argue that the issue being discussed is not short-term distraction in highly dangerous situations like driving a car or sharing a sidewalk in NYC, but rather the long-term psychological effects of filling every spare moment with entertainment. Ever since being forced to bus an hour+ to high school (sans smart phone! Can you imagine?!) I've learned to appreciate what long stretches of contemplation can do for a person. Or, at least, do for me.

Of course, my attention span typically maxes out around 2h unless I'm in a particularly thoughtful place in life, such as my bus ride to a new city after undergrad graduation, or the flight home after a big family event. And, of course, being in the window seat is a must -- you'd have to be something of a zen master to peacefully "raw-dog" a flight by just starting at the seat in front of you!

Rant aside, I absolutely agree that being stuck in place for hours at a time is good reason to want some form of entertainment, and this is arguably the perfect application for VR. Being stuck on a long bus/train/plane without entertainment can feel downright claustrophobic, and it's not like there's any communication with others anyway. Other than the nice flight attendants, which we still have, for some weird reason -- I thought it was a nice touch to clarify that talking to them with the headset for more than a phrase or two feels disrespectful.
In France, (EU maybe ?), it's restricted only to subscriptions made online. That does seems reasonable to not enforce online presence to people/business who aren't present on the internet.

Internet services are not excluded, but you have to make the subscription online (from a library computer, GSM network or previous Internet Subscription for example).

Oh, even if it's mandatory, doesn't mean it's easy. "Free" and "Orange" (French ISPs) hide the "cancellation link" (Résiliation in french) in the footer of the home page and never tell about it in any other way but the link does work.
