There were two high-level causes, basically:

1. The failure to scale the education quickly enough. Nation-scale nuclear energy was new when the RBMK line was introduced. The demand for nuclear engineers skyrocketed, and it was impossible to train the required amount of professionals to the same standards as nuclear scientists in just a few years. Meanwhile, the RBMK assumed deeper knowledge of its design than they had.

2. The system that made academicians (the official Academy of Sciences title) equivalent to mid-to-large caliber politicians within their area of expertise. As a result, Dollezhal's pride ran unchecked and prevented him from addressing well-known design flaws (that already caused the 1975 accident).

Both reasons are not unique to USSR at all and can be learned from. (something that is often ignored because "it can't happen here")
I watched a few Terry's streams and TempleOS seems to be something pretty fluid to use. You literally navigate in the console, or whatever it is called, and can open any file the current cursor points to.

That depends on how old and big is the project. For example Linux is "stuck" on GPL2 and even if they wanted to move to something else it wouldn't be feasible to get permission from all the people involved. Some contributors passed away making it even more difficult.

I like music and poetry. While stealing from another composer/author/poet you "steal", using AI is not stealing. But to the point that dwnw is trying to make is that the product will not be from the heart.
If/when your audience will learn that you never actually experienced "this or that" e.g. I don't like Taylor Swift's music - at all - but it is rumored that she writes about her own life experience and that makes her output relatable.

Will it fill up 60mins for one album? Yes. Will you sell out the MSG when your audience finds out that it was all ChatGPT (or some other LLM)? No. Never.

Another metaphor/analogy is like the Friends episode "The One With Phoebe's Cookies" where the magic disappears because the 'grandma's cookies' end up being Nestle cookies. And the magic is gone, and your audience will be gone.
This reminds me of the argument that it is silly to reduce carbon emissions as long as there are others who are emitting carbon.
Could you give some examples? I have no idea what legal differences would provide a benefit during customer interactions.
I feel strongly about this but figured it would be a decent exercise to challenge my assumptions? I've been doing this for a while and with the exception of a limited number of high quality packages I generally write a lot of my own utilities because in my opinion "the juice isn't worth the squeeze" from a lot of open source options. Obv The time trade off is different now that I have decent experience and with the advent of ChatGPT

From what I can tell the research tends to agree with me:

It appears that there is a substantial overhead that comes with `npm install`ing away your problems.

I would love to see other research if anyone has some... the quick ~5 studies I checked didn't seem to answer the question 100% but are good enough to confirm my thoughts.
Maybe it is/was an A/B test, to see if it hurts ad revenue (it probably does).

It doesn't matter whether they actually value you any more. The point is that investor relations is staffed by competent people, as opposed to customer service which is staffed by incompetent people as an intentional matter of efficient human capital allocation. So you can get much more reliable help if you can present the right class signals, and if you are at least theoretically allowed to call that line.
That's a good insight. I had always thought the key to good algorithm / data structure design was to use all the information present in the data set. For example, if you know a list is sorted, you can use binary sort. But perhaps choosing how much of it to omit is key, too. It comes up less often, however. I can't think of a simple example.
Fast-Forwarding LCGs (2016)
Just so we're clear, you're not sure what I'm saying and nevertheless think that I'm a better writer than you believe that I believe myself to be and you are confused by an imaginary "only" that wasn't in what I wrote and that you are skeptical of the idea that an LLM might overtake humans in creative works generally and writing in particular?

I'm not sure if the following statement will help your confusion, but most who judge the quality of a story do so without being able to write that story. Critiquing and writing are different skills.
I think that's probably right. The difference is the content. I don't fault people for preferring the X content. It's not even all nazis.

However, this is exactly the argument that people use to criticize bluesky. What is an echo chamber if not going to a place where you get the content you want. 99% of people who think they're taking a principled stand on moderation or openness in either direction are lying to themselves.
This can be alleviated by adding a subpanel within the garage space. NEC/NFPA doesn't require GFCI on the connection between the main panel and the subpanel.
Zig's approach to generics and metaprogramming - treating functions and types as first-class compile-time values in the base language - makes more and more sense.

Will GitHub ever change the file list preceding the README.md content? This has always seemed a poor default, but maybe the way I use GitHub is different than their primary user?
Most AI genetated visuals have a myriad of styles but you could mostly tell it’s something not seen before and thats what people may be drooling for. The same drooling happened for things that have finally found their utility after a long time and are we’re now used to. For example 20 years ago Photoshop filters were all the rage and you’d see them expressed out everywhere back then. I think this AI gen phase will lose interest/enthusiasm over time but will enter and stay in toolbox for the right things, whatever people decide to be then.
The internet is way bigger than PhysicsForums. That was my point, but your response seems to confirm what I said about discourse declining though.

It seems like the reduced overhead of cooperative multitasking (vs OS threads or even greenthreads) is so important that people are writing code entirely differently because of it. Like all those promise/future frameworks in Java etc, or NodeJS which works this way natively.
Was this supposed to be a joke? It's not a good joke.
I don't know why anyone would want this. I use github to look at code, the code should be front and center immediately.

Tryna? (2012) [pdf]
Thanks for answering!

There is enforcement in Europe, more or less depending on where you are. In the UK it's not unknown or even not uncommon for homeless folks to board busses or trains and maybe taking a nap (or a good night's sleep) instead of sitting outside and freezing. In the UK and in Greece beggars are also a common occurrence.

>> The risk of being murdered is low, but the risk of an unnecessarily unpleasant experience is high: begging, harassment, groping, smoke-filled train cars, food scraps, having someone spit in your face, urine, vomit, and feces are stories every commuter has. Inter-city trains are generally fine.

That certainly sounds extremely unpleasant. What I'm trying to understand is how high is the risk, really, and whether it is higher in some cities than others. I mean because I still can't imagine public transport where people will spit in your face in the bus or in the train. Although I've seen people getting sick (and then jumping off at the next stop, bastards) on London busses. In London, being puked on of a night out is a real risk but then it's nothing to do with public transport.

Anyway, how high is the risk of such unpleasant experiences in the U? Why is it that way?
It’s a great title and idea for an article.

Maybe start a blog for the board, and create that article?

These results sadden me when I know there is such a stigma about treating it. From the doctors to the pharmacist you get treated like crap trying to seek the most effective medication for this disorder, stimulants.

There are so many legal hurdles and shortage BS you gotta go through as well.
I love the web, I write cross platform mobile apps using web tech (same code as the website) that work 90%+ as well on web vs "native" (sometimes more, sometimes less depending on which features I need). The issue is even less-so with web capabilities (though I absolutely wish more was available) but with customers/client's expectations. I can spend all day telling someone "This website here does everything an app would" and they simply will not care until they see it in the App/Play Store.

I've seen this happen over 10+ external companies that I've worked with. I'll provide a website with the "app" that they can play with and literally 99% of the time they won't even look at it until it's in app form. Same codebase, same UI, same features, it's insane but I've seen it happen enough times to expect it. I think it's partly a prestige thing but whatever the cause, I don't see myself getting away from dealing with Xcode/Android Studio/App Store Connect/Google Play Console. At least Android Studio is built on IntelliJ... and that's about the only nice thing I can say about it (other than thank god it's not eclipse based anymore).

I agree. AI generated text and images should be marked as such. In the US there was a push to set standards on watermarking AI generated content (feasible for images/video, but more difficult for text, because it's easier to delete). Unfortunately, the effort to study potential watermarking standards was rescinded as of Jan 22 2025.

it cuts both ways! it is hard to find engineers who are self-motivated to think about product, customers, and conversion. this project gives the candidate strong credibility there.

I have also been burnt with employees leaving to start their own thing, but that's more the exception compared to engineers who don't deliver much value because they're not actually interested in building stuff or only interested in the programming part of building stuff.

No one is safe, no matter how smart or tech savvy you think you are! For the less tech savvy folks, I understand why they are scared, it's hard to give them even general tips to not lose the farm to fraudsters.

Ask HN: Are There Any Application Launchers that are Terminal Emulator?
Application launchers should be terminal emulators.

I am a huge fan of Spotlight, Raycast, Albert, etc.

But they all have some kind of problem, like not being on that platform, or being proprietary, or being a nightmare to modify.

99% of the tools I use (calculator, dictionary) already exist on the command line, except they look ugly and are nowhere close to being "out of the box."

If one were to add good opening/hiding shortcuts, window size, suggestions, and a shell config to a terminal emulator it would be a perfect launcher app.

I know I am doing the typical "FOSS devs please do it for me" request, but I am considering doing it myself, unless someone already went down that rabbit hole before me.
Do I understand correctly that this is an AI that will be used to sue or otherwise take law-related decisions? What can go wrong?

Type one or two? That's how I was misdiagnosed as bipolar-II. I have unipolar depression, but the high dosage of amphetamines I was on had me tweaking apparently. Once my dosage was drastically reduced, I had no issues other than normal depression ever again.

You would think taking me off the medication/reducing the dosage would have been the first step in diagnosing such a condition, but we're talking about the two most pseudoscientific fields of science/medicine, so perhaps I was wrong to trust them.
This is nonsense, especially this line.

>Deviating from procedures prevents as many accidents as it causes.

And they weren't doing some small deviation from procedure. They were doing something that was expressly forbidden and they knew why it was forbidden. In the time leading up to the accident it would be difficult to distinguish between what they were doing and trying to intentionally cause a meltdown. In a reactor experiencing xenon poisoning instead of shutting down for 24 hours (procedure) they removed every nuclear reaction moderating mechanism they could.

This isn't a smart little deviation, it's pouring gasoline on a fire and hoping for a good outcome. It is hard to describe how stupid this was.

> That sounds like an awesome cabinet

Why, yes! Yes it is. :-)

If it sounds good, you should consider one of your own. My goal was not the retro nostalgia of my recreating my parent's shitty 1970s living room TV but instead creating a cabinet that would allow me to explore these games each in their authentically correct resolution and frame rate and at the maximum quality and fidelity possible. That's why I chose an analog RGB monitor and the last, fastest GPU ever made with a native analog RGB signal path (R9 380X). I run a special version of the MAME emulator called GroovyMAME made just enable technically correct native display via analog signals on a CRT. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/board,52.0.html

I created this cabinet over ten years ago, before emulation pixel shaders were a thing. If you don't want to go to the effort, expense and time of acquiring and calibrating a high-end CRT, good pixel shaders can now get you >98% of the way there much easier and cheaper.

1000x performance loss is what you'd get from turning off the CPU's entire cache hierarchy, not what you'd get from disabling out of order execution. Executing instructions in-order wouldn't make every instruction a cache miss.
It's been a long time since I visited the Ars forums, but the news article commenters today are absolutely deranged. It makes me want to not engage with the forums again.
Seems like more of a Matlab use case.

Maybe you can find someone that works in aerospace in your area and have them reach out to their Siemens sale rep to see if Siemens created anything that can be useful. I'm guessing at one point they created some things for outreach to STEM or that can be used. Maybe there are tools for aerospace engineers to dumb things down to visuals to show their PHBs?

Speaking only for myself, I avoid [other people's] dependencies like the plague.

But I use a lot of them; just ones that I wrote.

Almost all of my publicly-available work consists of Swift modules (SPM), with very few stars or forks. Not very popular.

Which suits me just fine. I write for an audience of 1. I publish my work, because I believe that this forces me to do a really good job on it. I don't like to worry about my dependencies. If I wrote them, and they follow my Quality bar, then they're fine.

I think, in all the work I do, I have maybe only two or three dependencies, outside of ones that I wrote, or that are provided by the development system (I write native, so there's no giant ball of mud hybrid library).

It does limit the scope of what I can do, but not really that much.

I think it is a break through moment for a lot of people to realize that you get one life and get to spend it however you choose. There are no rules, only tradeoffs. You can be a beach bum in South America, or a hermit goat farmer.
I just emailed my doctor and told him to never prescribe to me again because I'm an addict and can't control myself around amphetamines. So now I am off everything totally.

At first I self medicated with weed and booze a lot, but after a few months I quit everything. I don't even consume caffeine anymore (found out all that adderall gave me a fucking anuerysm in my aorta at the ripe old age of 27, so I quit nicotine and caffeine as soon as I got the news)

Anyways nowadays I just power through the ADHD. I feel like I kinda suck at my job but still getting good performance reviews so, not that bad I guess.

I would recommend focusing as hard as possible on building habits that you can rely on. I started working out doing calisthenics 3 days a week and it is kinda the cornerstone of my life at the moment. it anchors everything I do pretty much.
Unless this is about some particular technique I've missed, isn't this what virtual methods are for? Only place I'm aware of where you see macros-based polymorphism is in C.
Glad to see some discouragement of custom design systems. I shudder at the person-hours that have been squandered on that fruitless endeavor. Pre-web, essentially zero time was spent on "design systems", and we were all better for it.
Ah, I see. You seem to think that there is a spectrum of benevolence when it comes to people who wear Nazi symbology.
I prefer a simple computer language with many real-life alternative compilers, and on the long run: the code will be hardened, where appropriate, because it is not cheap, over time.

And we must not forget that, 100% "safe" high level code should never be trusted to be compiled into 100% safe machine code.
Fair point, and I appreciate the feedback. Right now, scaling is definitely doable, but I’m still handling some manual tasks daily as I continue refining the process. I can absolutely deliver on the promise, 'Set up before you can brew a cup of coffee. Receive your first pull request before tomorrow's stand-up,' but it does mean working closely with each customer at this stage.

I’m working on automating more of the setup process to streamline scaling further while still keeping that fast turnaround time. In the meantime, I’m handling things on a per-customer basis to ensure everything runs smoothly. Let me know if you think there’s anything else I should focus on to improve the experience!

I remember several traditional programming forums I frequented in the 00s getting hit hard by the Google Panda update around 2013. It ruined their SEO and they started to go into decline. Forums and blogs had a culture that isn't replicated by reddit, social media, etc. It's a shame to lose it.

Interestingly, since some of my colleagues are actually looking to jump ships, I lend them some networking. Last week when we were having a coffee, everyone had the same complaint, all the shiny tech are missing, the old tech are now all the rage. Basically last when I checked, anyone with TS(nest), Python(django/flask), Go(Echo) were swimming in offers. Now literally every job is Java(springboot) or Rails(RoR) and every job needs years of experience with every AWS(and some GCP) components.

It is very strange, seems like the market is just suddenly very different. Even senior engineers are not well trusted with adapting new language or tools, while previously I actually onboarded several senior engineers to entirely new stack (e.g. TS -> Go, C++ -> TS, Zig -> Kotlin, frontend engineer with vanilla JS -> Java). The whole market is insane(or entirely irrational).

An example of that is a linked list with no particular sort order. By not caring about maintaining an order the insertion appends or preprends a node and is O(1).

As soon as you have to maintain any additional invariant, the insertion cost goes up. Either directly or amortized.
