My highschool had one of the few county vocational schools attached to it. We had things like construction tech, auto tech, PC repair (got your A+ in that class), networking (you get a CCENT), engineering drawing and basics, criminal justice, cosmetology, and what was essentially preschool teacher class along with many others I don't remember. Other schools in the county had different classes but ours was the biggest. The engineering classroom was my adhoc homeroom and the place I spent most days after school my senior year due to joining our FIRST robotics club. We had everything for doing woodworking but also had an old Bridgeport mill, a CNC router (I was the resident mastercam X expert) and a lathe. We did just about all of our robot fabrication there except for the TIG welding (local shop did it for free). The engineering drawing class also had a small woodworking shop too. Our engineering teacher taught freshmen at the local university so we came out of his classes being thoroughly prepared for college.

I bailed on my mechanical engineering major sophmore year and switched to computer engineering. I love building stuff with but just didn't enjoy statics class.

It doesn't affect the amount of energy required to enrich the uranium once it's been extracted from the rock, just the amount of energy required to extract the uranium from the rock. It just requires leaching the uranium from a larger amount of material.

I understand that you might randomly spread FUD like this if you haven't bothered to do any calculations at all because you don't care whether what you're saying is true or false. You're off by orders of magnitude.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_density#Nuclear_reactio... says uranium as burned in a breeder reactor yields 80TJ/kg; if your soil contains 10ppm of uranium, you're getting 800MJ per kg of soil. Lignite coal is 10–20MJ/kg, so regular soil yields 40–80 times as much energy as a source of uranium as coal does as a source of carbon.

Or, looking at it a different way, to supply a given amount of energy from uranium, you only have to mine about 2% as much random soil as if you were mining coal from an open-air coal deposit. (Subsequent processing is somewhat different, involving leaching with sulfuric acid.) Since mining coal requires significantly less energy than the coal yields, uranium mining is not close to net-zero on its energy return anywhere in the world.

Nuclear reactors are not economically competitive with solar and PV, but that's a different issue.
> Cynic in me thinks that all of the wealth generated by enormous productivity gains resulting from automation will not find its way towards population displaced by it.

Empirically, that's not true.

Unemployment was at an all-time low after most of those jobs were eliminated, and wages after adjusting for inflation continued to rise in real terms.

> You do not want to be on the open labor market after 50

This might be true in something like software development (I don't strictly think it is but I'm at least open to the argument) but it's definitely not true in academia.

People want old professors. If anyone I'd expect it to be easier for a 50, 55, 60 year old professor to get a TT role than a 29 year old with a wet ink PhD.

Can you help me understand your point of view a little bit more? I’ve been working for decades in C# professionally with a few stints in other languages and plenty of smaller side projects in any number of different ecosystems. I always find myself frustrated with “the experience” of working with many other languages. They all have their own pros and cons of course, but saying you don’t like the language because it doesn’t have sum types feels like saying you don’t like a Prius because it doesn’t have a pickup bed. Not a perfect analogy, but there are so many other features of C#’s type system that make it amazing to work with and it’s continually being improved year over year. I would be interested in knowing what types of things about the generics system you wish could be improved.
I got kicked out of the queue for some reason :(
That's not smug at all. That's not what I'm saying either.

It's just that.. you can't master something you don't practice and understand. It's true in every single thing in life you do, sports, literature, maths, music, cuisine, kindness, etc.

If you don't like to compose music, why suffer this and even submit to the randomness of some computer program, rather than giving the opportunity to another fellow human to open your ears and your mind to what they appreciate doing?

You can generate your music if you like. It just cannot compare to something a human really did on her own, and invested of her desire, time, practice, research, even a beginner.

It's not a matter of being professional or not. The best musicians I know are not professionals, they all have a day job.

For every famous star for one given instrument, you have 10s of undiscovered/local better musicians that just are carpenters, cooks, painters, drivers, factory workers.

I actually like what Hurbert did with paul. He made someone that was a god amongst man and then completely destroyed his legacy. Paul both was and wasn't a hero depending on the perspective of the person in the story. Herbert did a good job of showing the dangers of worshiping an authoritarian leader.

> They call it like that, but it depends on the programmer as always.

There are different styles, but in general they are concise, and I like them.

perl use various sigils to remain concise, while other languages take a lot of room on the screen: too many letters in the usual function names, not enough sigils within the language.

It's like if everything was in binary or hex, instead of using the full range of ASCII: while technically possible, it may be harder to fit into your head

Python has one sub-style I dislike the most: using tabs for indentation, because how much EXTRA room they use on the screen.

It must not just be me, as there are solutions for coloring the spaces (I forked https://github.com/csdvrx/indent-rainbow to focus on black-and-white and using spaces instead of tabs)

I use space to limit the issue, but I can't make python less verbose.

python isn't innocent either: I recently traced a issue where exit(0) wasn't working to a threading problem, making a bad use of atexit.

Peanut | Froject Manager | REMOTE | Full-Time | >= $40-110k + 0.5-2% equity

We're bringing currency back to cryptocurrency. We care a LOT about UX and are at the forefront of chain and account abstraction. We’re making crypto actually usable as a currency and not just a degenerate gambling fiesta.

We are VC-funded ($1.4m pre-seed), advised by heavyweights like ex-venmo CTO, and founded by Harvard alum.

Apart from Project Manager, we have some other roles we're hiring for. Review and find them here: https://peanut.to/jobs (and list HN as the place you learned about us!)
a few thoughts,
1) This is not how investing or investor-board-company process works in modern trading/investing. this is capitalism, not ethical discourse. Past performance is not a guarantor on investment, and you are free to rescind that investment.

2) if one desired to keep their investments in the company they disagree with performance/ethics wise, there is a board that dictates investor funds, trends. They are elected.

In the event of some perceived strife, or new initiative, a board is petitioned by shareholder groups to a point that if there is enough sway, can force a decision on the company.

I do not agree this is ideal^ as dark forces in the market have far more of an effect on it than the actual investments.
I don't know, if it was really millions of dollars for a single patient - I wouldn't pay a few million dollars to avoid a few bouts of illness for a random member of my health insurance group scheme cohort, and that seems like the correct comparison to make. Increase the costs by another order of magnitude and I'd rather let them die.

Activision "AI slop" Guitar Hero advert is market research for a fake game
A good method is to make predictions based on an assumption. A month ago, a CRAZY prediction of actions if Trump was a Russian agent would be:

Active attempts to remove Zelinsky.
Stop all aid.
Remove sanctions on Russia.
Stop are cyber activity and planning of such against Russia.

Trump has done all of the above (well he's only ordered the removing of sanctions as of today).
To be honest with you, you're making yourself look like an idiot.
I would take the advice of the person you are arguing with.
Yeah, I've never seen one that checks all that.
If China wants Taiwan back the only thing they need to do is make sure the US Navy and cargo ships can't reach the island.
If there is, it isn't public. .NET does apparently have RISC-V architecture support in some sense due to a pull request by a Samsung engineer.

From a technical standpoint, there's no reason Windows couldn't be brought to RISC-V in some form or fashion. It's designed for that portability.
I direct you to some foreign policy experts (war on the rocks)[1].

While we can't know what the central party committee is thinking, we know what they are saying, Xi in a speech in 2021 set the priority of having the capability of taking Taiwan by force by 2027.[2] Additionally they are probably not building the largest navy in the world and the largest collection of civilian roll on roll off ships for show.

I am not saying they will attack, but they definitely want to have it as an option.

It was considered enough of a big deal that there was a Treaty about it.
> The CCP owns Trump.

I'm not going to bat for Trump – I don't like the guy – but this seems provably false just based on the fact that Trump has already applied tariffs to Chinese imports. Not only that, he's ratcheting up those tariffs because Beijing has so far refused to come to the table. He seems to be continuing his 2016 policy of economically antagonizing the Chinese.

I bought one of their first portable systems, the Chuwi Lapbopk 12.3.

Amazing system. A really nice IPS 2736 x 1824 display was the star of the show, straight off one of the Microsoft Surface laptops of the day. Pretty whatever CPU, 6gb ram, and tiny 64GB eMMC storage (expandable with m2242 sata), but it ran Debian quite well & had very solid battery life. Very solid robust metal case.

Price felt amazing. $400 in 2017 for a top tier display.

Are you looking to cut down your Cloud usage costs. I will perform cost optimization analysis to find redundant products in your infrastructure platform.

Are you looking to migrate your Cloud from AWS to on-premise. I can do that as well. I will setup the on-premise infra at a fraction of your current Cloud costs with the latest open source tech.
> So I'm genuinely inquiring: Could it be sending your GPS location to some entity without notifying the GPOS?

With very low confidence, I believe for chips that put GPS on the baseband, yes it can because that's required for E911. (I don't know what the pixel line does) Can it then transmit that location using the baseband without you being able to tell? I would assume so, and that's a case where it's safe to assume it can.

Unfortunately, that doesn't matter much. Your location is also trivially known by your ISP by triangulating connection strength. Often this can be more accurate than GPS in many real cases. The threat/risk that's able to compromise the baseband SoC, is more easily able to compromise your ISP. And thus the phone simply existing is a risk to location privacy, given a perfectly secure ideal baseband SoC.

Can that be used to uniquely identify you, and correlate it with your other actions. That's not really a question I'm prepared to answer in a HN comment (because I have to draw that line somewhere for my own limited sanity), so.... specifically yes, but generally, no. That is to say, it is possible given sufficient resources. But it's non-trivial to do in bulk. And there are many many easier and cheaper ways, so https://xkcd.com/538/ applies here too.
Thanks for engaging with me. In your last paragraph, you got to the crux of the issue. You feel that you are "allowed" (by whom?) to define your own moral values and your own priorities. You feel that this moral axiom is self-evident and uncontroversial. I would deny that. This moral axiom, like all moral axioms, cannot be proved by science. And it is far from universally shared, beyond our relatively small cultural bubble. For many people, defining one's own moral values is the definition of immorality, or at least amorality. For many people, true morality has to be above one's own preferences and desires (that is, more authoritative). If you disagree, you are merely revealing how your religion differs from theirs. Your religion has moral axioms that cannot be proved, and so does theirs.

Don't get me wrong, I think people broadly share many moral axioms (such as: truth is generally good, love is generally good, hate is generally bad). But the idea that we get to define our own values is not one that is universally shared, it is mainly found only in highly individualistic atheistic cultures, and like all moral axioms, cannot be proven or disproven using the scientific method.
Honestly pretty cool. I'm curious how easy it will be for different video platforms and editors to work it in as a feature or maybe plugin
Being unpredictable has advantages and also disadvantages, depending on setting.

Though with an AI race going on and Musk practically living in the White House, I can't imagine the US would let China have Taiwan without a fight right now.

Also, forcing TSMC to build a number of modern fabs in the US is sort of a warning to China to stay away AT LEAST until those fabs are done. If China attacks right now,I think we would see the full might of the US forces coming to their defense.

AI right now has the same role as nukes had during the cold war. Nobody really knows how quickly it will develop, and many scenarios would allow those who get it first to take out all enemy nukes without much risk of receiving a retaliatory strike.

For instance, AI may make it possible to build a virtually perfect missile defense against ICBMS, it may may allow perfect tracking of subs and other submarine threats, it may power drone swarms capabable of disabling any integrated air defense network, and even to destroy all enemy missile siles and nuclear subs whil minimizing loss of life.

The US is not going to let China get there first, if they can stop it.
Anything that can be done in a follow-up shouldn't have to block a PR. But if the architecture is wrong, it's better to fix before than after. You are speeding your teams throughput by pointing out the problem earlier rather than later.

The core of the argument is simple diagonalization.

We know that the problem of deciding if a program halts on some input is undecidable via computation.

But suppose we have a partial program P(C,I), to decide halting/not-halting of a program P on an input I, with errors, including input not being of right type, counting as a halt.

For instance, P sees a loop at the start of the program for which there is no exit or it sees that the program is trying to find a prime which ends with 4. It marks these cases as non-halting. Halting cases can always be marked by P as halting by just running the code in one thread and waiting to see if it halts. The third option, non-halting programs which are not seen to be so, in this case P itself runs forever.

Now given P, it is possible to construct P' a program which detects all the non-halting programs that P does, but atleast one more non-halting case also. To do this consider R, with R(C)=not(P(C,C)) which takes an input program C, asks P 'does C halt with input the source of C itself'. Then R reverses P's decision. If P says halt, then R does not halt on C. If P says not-halt, R halts and finally if P is undecided(so P doesn't stop), R again doesn't halt.

What about R(R), R applied to itself. P(R,R) can't be decisive as we will get a contradiction. But in fact R(R) doesn't halt, as all halts are detected by P.

So, P' is basically P with the extra detection - R(R) doesn't halt.

This proves the weaker claim of Penrose

'No knowably correct program P, can simulate human behaviour' as we can see that if P is right, P' is also right.

The 'knowably correct' might seem like an escape hatch, but it is actually hard to split the difference. Simulating humans necessarily means simulating a group of humans who are also doing verification of their initial results with each other and proof-assistants.

Also, going from P to P' is a computable process, but if you try to add this to P, you get a new program with a new limitation.
