> Nuclear fission absolutely needs to be part of that mix, as we work to master fusion and other advanced, safe, and environmentally responsible forms of energy production.

Relying on fusion power to clean up electricity generation is highly irresponsible, because in every remotely credible scenario, rollout is MUCH too slow to meaningfully affect climate change.

But I'm interested in trying to understand your view, and also which fusion power approach you put your faith in (and generally discussing this).

I strongly believe that nuclear power has no future, because it performs very poorly in an energy market where the marginal cost of producing is very frequently near-zero (thanks to renewables). Nuclear power is already quite expensive-- only running the plants half the time ruins cost competitiveness completely. You can see this happening already in countries like France and China, where nuclear and coal power plants are increasingly operating in load-following mode (i.e. not 100% all-the-time), which makes them even less cost competitive than in the past.

> I'm sure you're about to go into some battery related hand waving, but that doesn't help in two ways. First, there will be intervals where the lull in production exceeds storage capacity, which means fatalities in many cases. Second, battery is expensive, so the total system cost can exceed the cost of nuclear (especially with sane regulation and continually improving engineering).

Tow points here:
Intermittency is a problem that actually shrinks at scale: The more spread out your wind parks/panels are, the smaller the periods where they provide unexpectedly little power (=> you need less buffering than you would naively assume).

Second point: a 100kWh battery is already affordable for a single household right now (thats basically big electric car battery). Price trends only go one direction there...

> Second, battery is expensive, so the total system cost can exceed the cost of nuclear (especially with sane regulation and continually improving engineering).

From this I assume you believe that nuclear reactors are not cost competitive mainly because of safety regulations, and "simply" fixing those regulations would make them able to compete on cost? This is likely incorrect. Consider:

Coal power plants are basically a minimally regulated, built-at-scale, super-simplified variant of a thermal power plant. They are the "ideal" that hyper-optimized nuclear reactor designs will never be able to reach (disregarding fuel costs here!). Even so: They struggle to compete with renewable on price already (disregarding fuel costs!). What are your thoughts on this?

My personal favorite: Tax carbon emission, use gas turbines as peaker plants, store energy long term via synthetic hydrogen, which is needed for carbon-free steel production anyway (and can also be used by gas peaker plants).

Then just let the market find out which fraction of batteries, wind, solar, carbon-taxed gas/coal, nuclear etc. works best.
Directly programming hardware with bit-banging, shifts, bitmasks and whatnot. Too cumbersome in ASM to do in large swaths, too low level for Rust or even for C++.

Plus for that kind of things you have "deterministic C" styles which guarantee things will be done your way, all day, every day.

For everyone answering: This is what I understood by chatting with people who write Rust in amateur and pro settings. It's not something of a "Rust is bad" bias or something. The general consensus was, C is closer to the hardware and allows handling of quirks of the hardware better, because you can do "seemingly dangerous" things which hardware needs to be done to initialize successfully. Older hardware is finicky, just remember that. Also, for anyone wondering. I'll start learning Rust the day gccrs becomes usable. I'm not a fan of LLVM, and have no problems with Rust.
>But EU companies should be very wary of Trump tariff blackmail that forces them to build production lines in the US.

That's the whole point of tariffs, to encourage domestic production.

Put another way, what is the difference between what you wrote and

>But US companies should be very wary of EU tariff blackmail that forces them to build production lines in the EU.

?

Whether a particular tariff is economically viable is a reasonable debate. Calling Trump's tariffs "blackmail" without assigning that epithet to all tariffs from whatever source is not.

1) Housing is not land. Conflation of the two is incorrect, as any Georgist will tell you.

2) The commodification and securitization of housing as we know it today is absolutely new. This allows for new and exciting ways to distort valuations beyond intrinsic worth, which is the only way land and housing were assessed until recently. We did not have esoteric derivatives of insurance on mortgage tranches 100 years ago.

But thank you for the Orwellian insistence that we have always lived in this hell. Speaks to the scruples of those who would deny people dignified places to live because of how they're able to manipulate numbers on a screen.
Well said. On the other side it's very sad and true, that the consequences can be global in special individual cases.
There's a lot of understandable skepticism about this announcement because there are so many PR announcements. I want to temper that with an alternative perspective.

I actually think Apple is a potential dark horse when it comes to AI hardware. What we have now is essentially a three-layered monopoly: ASML, TSMC, NVidia. This has been incredibly lucrative for NVidia. But, as we know, Apple doesn't like to rely on third-party hardware. They've invested heavily in ARM going back to buying PA Semi [1]. Apple replaced Intel chips (which originally replaced Power chips) with the M series in recent years. Apple is in the process of replacing Qualcomm modems in iPhones, which is not only a technical feat but a legal one given Qualcomm's patent dominance over 4G/5G.

Apple has the resolve for long-term initiatives that few other companies have. Apple Pay continues to chip away and get slowly better in a way that, if it were a Google product, would've been cancelled, rebranded, relaunched probably 3-4 times by now (Google Checkout, Google Wallet, Google Pay, Android Pay, etc).

Apple clearly sees AI as a strategic issue. They have loads of cash on hand to finance basically anything they want. And they won't want to be beholden to NVidia.

I expect Apple to have a significant impact here but it won't be tomorrow or even this year. It'll be over the next 5-10 years.

> Matt Hancock has banned the NHS from buying fax machines and has ordered a complete phase-out by April 2020.

The NHS is quite federated. Hell many parts of it are independent companies. Some trusts have decent modern systems though - I had to go for a test just before christmas - I'd phoned up my GP in the morning got an appointment for half an hour later, he ordered a test, said go to one of these 8 centres, so I went to one about half an hour away (I live a fair way away from a major town). Had the test, by the time I'd had lunch and driven back home I had another call from the GP asking me to come in that evening, the appointment was created by the GP and read seconds later at the hospital, the test was done there and results reported back again at the click of a system at the GP.

But that's just my local trust. Go 10 miles west and it's another trust and they have different systems. And I had to go to one of the test centres in the trust, I couldn't go to one in a neighbouring trust as they have different systems and there's no/limited interconnects.

Rebranded western software?

Some open source projects are rebranded as Russian with minimal changes, that happens, yes, but that's the result of gaming the system that incentivizes development of Russian software, not the result of sanctions.

Russian replacements of Office 365 and Google Docs seem to be doing well.

As for hardware, the EU is not yet under American sanctions.
Automatically generate swagger files from Golang fiber code
Hey, I would like to get some feedback on the library I'm developing for fiber v3. It basically automatically generates swagger.yaml + swagger.json + swagger editor ui from your fiber routes.

It can automatically generate the route + the route path parameters. If you wanna provide more info, I've created a simple interface that wraps the fiber's router and isn't too annoying ... or you can use `gofiberswagger.RegisterRoute()` to add the definition on your own (without touching the existing code).

The library uses reexported github.com/getkin/kin-openapi types, that means that you can specify ANY openapi field you wanna (not only in routes, but also in the general config, eg. auth / security schemes / title / openapi version / etc).

I've implemented it into some of my personal projects and tbh I love it, that's why I decided to share it with y'all. I know about swaggo/swag, however I don't like how my code looks while using it.

I've created some basic examples inside the `/examples/` folder, so be sure to check them out! Any feedback would be appreciated.

Should I use reframe, fulcro, or retit with ohm? Everytime I try to start I give up because the ecosystem is confusing. What is the right way? And if I want to develop in clojure fullstack (frontend and backend both in clojure/script), what is battletested approach?

I've heard similar stories a few times already, basically every time the economy goes bad. E.g. in 2008 or after the dotcom crash, you either had a job and nothing bad happened, or you lost a job and couldn't get hired. On local levels it also happens when a big factory closes and whole small cities tumble into poverty.

I saw a story around 2008 about fired bankers. They had trouble to buy food with their food stamps because they came to the shop with their expensive cars. It turns out they lost the house, were living in the car, and there was a market glut of expensive cars from all these other fired ex-rich people so even if they wanted they could not sell for a decent price. Besides, things had changed so fast under their feet, they didn't have time to sell the car yet.

Still using a old version of NetBeans to develop a Java EE 7 application. I would switch to IntelliJ if possible, but honestly, unlike .NET - Java IDE and the toolchain are so much tied together (it is not just a bunch of MSBuild) files, chaining the IDE for a project that old and on life support anyway is a journey not worth it.

> Apple will not beat Microsoft in any capacity here

I'm sure MS will provide AI to business, but if Apple get things right, they'll be the biggest provider of AI to the masses.

With a Siri that knows your email, calendar, location, history, search history, ability to get data from and do things in 3rd party Apps (with App Intents) and if it runs on your phone for security, it could be used by billions of consumers, not a few hundred million MS office users.

What was that restaurant I went to with Joan last fall? Send linkedin requests to all the people I've had emails from company X.

Of course they could take too long or screw things up.
Honestly, if I need to do bit-banging, I'd go with Rust over C these days. Rust has a much richer set of bit primitives than C does.
> All I hear is anecdotal statements from people claiming LLMs have made them some percent more productive. Yet few actually say how or demonstrate it.

It's very difficult to measure productivity of most people, certainly most people in office jobs, so while you can have a gut feeling that you're doing better, it's no more measurable than pre-AI individual productivity measurement was
It strikes me that the former would profit from a strong type system, whereas the latter could profit from (enforced) strict aliasing.

Not sure what you mean with "correct", because "correct" is an equivalence class of slightly different definitions? Eg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peano_axioms has, instead of both yours and mine:

They would all be proven in the same manner, though some might be slightly stronger in relation to commutation, making some proofs easier off the bat.

It's also worth noting that ketamine does appear to increase neural plasticity and can promote the formation of new synaptic connections (synaptogenesis), particularly in areas of the brain involved in mood regulation.

NetBeans is the second Java IDE I used (the first one was JBuilder, but it wasn't free so I "evaluated" it). NetBeans was batteries-included but was slow and more towards desktop (Swing) development. Eclipse won, hands down. However, I got frustrated installing plugins and making them work together, so I switched to IntelliJ and never looked back. VSCode got the Eclipse vibes but I guess I'm too old for this.

I didn't even bother asking why he hadn't thought of just removing the wire altogether.

After writing some non-trivial and performance sensitive C/C++ code, you have feeling of how that code behave on the real metal. I have that kind of intuition, for example. I never had to dive to the level of generated ASM, but I can get ~80% of theoretical IPC with just minding what I'm doing in C++ (minimum branching, biasing branches towards a certain side, etc.).

So, I think if you do the same thing with Rust, you'll have that intuition, as well.

I have a friend who writes embedded Rust, and he said it's not as smooth as C, yet. I think Rust has finished the first 90% of its maturing, and has the other 90%.
