It's not as simple as just installing more wind turbines. The grid needs improvement and we need things like regional pricing. See https://wastedwind.energy for example.
Think about this: in a complex enough information system, there's almost no one that understands all of it, therefore you need teams to take care of certain functions and processes. Multiply that by 3x10^33 and you have a economic system. Creating a representative of society like the state and the state creating institutions responsible of education, housing, finances, security, food production, etc. is why countries advance as a collective of individuals.

No individual, other than setting up lofty but ambiguous goals like reducing hunger/malnutrition, understand how or why certain goals should or not be set for certain sectors and why the processes are what they are to accomplish them.

> then other people come in to complain about the complaints (…) It's all so tiresome.

The irony being that so far you’re the only person doing something even remotely similar to that in this submission. Why would your objection to the objection be more valid than the objection? Why be the one to start it when you’re ostensibly annoyed by it?

> we shouldn't hold sensational headlines against the researchers because they're just competing for attention

I quoted a section of the article, not the headline. You’re no longer competing for attention once someone clicked on it. On the contrary, every sentence you write which annoys readers is a new opportunity for them to leave.

> and besides they probably weren't even the ones to write the sensational takes

Irrelevant. I didn’t complain of the scientific work itself, I commented on the boring, repetitive remark. That’s on the writer.

> blah blah blah.

Indeed. This whole interaction was unnecessary. My comment wasn’t on this particular study but on the general default belief that humans are cognitively unique, despite umpteen proofs to the contrary.
mozilla is bribed by google on a regular basis and officially at that :)
I was given a Dualit Classic Newgen 4 slice toaster as a wedding gift.
It was without a doubt the WORST toaster I have ever used.
I've never been so annoyed by a product before. In fact, it annoyed me so much that I ended up returning it and replacing it with a cheap toaster that is 10% of the price and functions better.

I'll list the fatal flaws with it in descending order of importance:

1) Unlike basically every single other toaster on the market, it does not have a cage or other mechanism that closes on to the bread slices and keeps them an equal distance from the heating element. This results in at least one part of every single slice of bread getting burned to a crisp, and at least one part of every single slice not being toasted at all. After using this toaster for a week, I couldn't believe how any engineer at Dualit could release this. Do they even use their product? It is a catastrophic oversight.

2) The timer is an analogue mechanism, much like an egg timer. I found that there was an extremely thin margin in which the toast is toasted. Anything under that and it's not, anything over that and it's burned beyond recognition. I cannot even count the number of times the smoke alarm in my house went off because my toaster burned my bread to a crisp. Another catastrophic oversight.

3) Because the timer is analogue, when you turn it it makes a clicking noise as an egg timer does. This means it's very easy to mistake the toaster for being on, when in fact it's not. The number of times I went to make toast, only to realise a few minutes later that the toaster was unplugged for some reason and my bread was still bread is unreal. I'd then end up ruining my scrambled eggs by waiting another few mins for toast.

4) The toaster allows you to spin a dial to choose how many heating elements to use. This is a pain in the ass. It's so easy to forget about, until you go to pick up your toast and find out that only 1 and a half slices have been toasted of the 4 you put in there.

The sad thing is, the toaster looked awesome. We also have a Dualit kettle (which is great) and it matched. Unfortunately they prioritised aesthetics over function, and it shows. If you want a toaster that requires you to go through a checklist of switches to check before operating, then requires constant supervision to avoid burning your toast, and will still give you burnt sections of toast anyway despite all of that, I could not recommend a better candidate.

Check out Amazon Sidewalk—if any of your neighbors connect a device supporting it to the internet, your devices will find them and use their internet connection if you don’t provide one! Apparently their network covers like 90% of the US population (at a low data rate), and they’ve made it possible for non-Amazon devices to implement it.
>I know it’s hard to believe now, but Europe used to be the seat of power for the whole world.

And Europe used that power to do some incredibly inhumane and shitty things, while enriching a tiny number of sociopaths. I had hoped we had improved as a species since then, but I don't think we have.
Elephants too.
So you've managed to cherry pick the one study showing nuclear power in any kind of possible light. Typical.

You do know that the study is only applicable to running your off-grid cabin from a sole source and battery storage based on 2020 costs. The study also assumes 100% uptime for nuclear power.

It does not deal with demand shifts, it does not deal with transmission, it does not deal with backup power.

It also managed to finds a nuclear LFSCOE of $106/MWh. Even though it doesn't adapt to peaks or breakdowns when Hinkley Point C sits at $170/MWh when running at full tilt for 35 years.

Whenever we do quality research on the subject the results end up being that nuclear power is horrifically expensive.

See for example:

See the recent study on Denmark which found that nuclear power needs to come down 85% in cost to be competitive with renewables when looking into total system costs for a fully decarbonized grid, due to both options requiring flexibility to meet the grid load.

> Focusing on the case of Denmark, this article investigates a future fully sector-coupled energy system in a carbon-neutral society and compares the operation and costs of renewables and nuclear-based energy systems.

> The study finds that investments in flexibility in the electricity supply are needed in both systems due to the constant production pattern of nuclear and the variability of renewable energy sources.

> However, the scenario with high nuclear implementation is 1.2 billion EUR more expensive annually compared to a scenario only based on renewables, with all systems completely balancing supply and demand across all energy sectors in every hour.

> For nuclear power to be cost competitive with renewables an investment cost of 1.55 MEUR/MW must be achieved, which is substantially below any cost projection for nuclear power.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S030626192...

Or the same for Australia if you went a more sunny locale finding that renewables ends up with a grid costing less than half of "best case nth of a kind nuclear power":

If one was a coder once, they don't need to keep coding to understand what a coder does.
Plus it's a bit hard to be a manager of different profiles and different stacks and understand what everyone does from a coding point of view (different stack, different frameworks and abstractions etc) especially while time passes and tech changes so much, so quickly.

I do agree that it's important for a coder to keep coding but mostly for the manager itself as it's removes some of the old biases and it's a continuous learning process on something that, technically speaking, they should be passionate about.
Plus it does help to have conversations with other developers and don't sound like a person who only listens to vivaldi at a dnb concert.
great, now I have to un-learn using 'proper' punctuation.

It's AltGr+[-] (–) or AltGr+Shift+[-] (—) on my keyboard layout (linux, de-nodeadkeys) btw.

AltGr+[,] is ·, AltGr+Shift+[,] is ×, AltGr+[.] is …, AltGr+[1] is ¹

[Compose][~][~] is ≈, [Compose][_][2] is ₂ (great for writing H₂O), [Compose][<][_] is ≤, etc.

I use all of these, and more, guess I'm an AI now :(

To be fair I intentionally use — incorrectly by putting spaces around it, just because I hate how it looks without the spaces ("correct" English grammar says there should be no spaces.)
FYI, that had been the right call.
Nope. Also you don't want one of these anchors be anywhere near a submarine.

We cannot prevent it, we can only detect it and (try to) identify who did it. The planet (some special interest areas) are constantly being monitored (satellites, surveillance drones) and when large ships are not being 'naughty' (switch of transponders) it's relatively easy to put two and two together.

As a side-note, Russia's playbook it to cause small and frequent sabotage(s). Small enough to not cause massive retaliation (i.e. it forces someone to destroy their railroad infra by causing thousands of derailments within one hour), and frequent enough to cause actual damage.
The Observation framework has brought native property-level observation to Swift, effectively preventing unnecessary view updates in SwiftUI triggered by unrelated property changes, thereby enhancing application performance. However, since @State does not offer a lazy initialization constructor like @StateObject, it may lead to performance degradation or even logical issues due to the premature construction of instances in certain scenarios. This article explores how to implement a lazy initialization solution for Observable instances using @State.
The issue with these contrarians, is that all they can do is scream loudly about how shitty everything is, without any real proposals on how to improve the world. We see this all the time: MAGA in the US, AFD in Germany...

Nice! Well deserved. They make both editions of their RL textbook available as a free to read PDF.

The lifetime difference is a standard talking point that sounds good if you don't understand economics but doesn't make a significant difference. It's the latest attempt to avoid having to acknowledge the completely bizarre costs of new nuclear built power through bad math.

CSIRO with GenCost included it in this year's report.

Because capital loses so much value over 80 years ("60 years + construction time) the only people who refer to the potential lifespan are people who don't understand economics. In this, we of course forget that the average nuclear power plant was in operation for 26 years before it closed.

Table 2.1:

https://www.csiro.au/-/media/Energy/GenCost/GenCost2024-25Co...

The difference a completely absurd lifespan makes is a 10% cost reduction. When each plant requires tens of billions in subsidies a 10% cost reduction is still... tens of billions in subsidies.

My families original immigrents had many members return to Europe. My Grandfather went back to the old country after WW2 to try to find the family that stayed behind or returned and there was no trace of them.

Our 20th century immigrant experience was that the old country evaporated and there was no longer a connection.
> the other countries become less able to trade on good terms, and thus less able to buy US products/services

There is a Kurzgezat video a couple of years back [1] that does understand this. They did the same argument that you are making here. Heck, the prisoners dilemma is about how cooperating is the most viable strategy for global benefits. The world isn't really a zero sum game. We get a tons of energy thanks to our star that is usually the thing that most closed systems desperately look for.

They are not just "merging codebases". They are literally letting it stagnate in all the parts that matter, and all the user-facing parts are iOSified, or literally delegated to iOS with "you can run iOS programs directly now".

And yes. Merging codebases is a bad thing when it's done without any care for one of the paradigms. The one that they don't like, don't understand, and want to go away.

There's this piece of product-management wisdom that I've been thinking about lately, which is that users almost always understand their problems better than you do. If the metrics say things are going well, and your users say everything sucks, your metrics are probably wrong. But the complement to that is that users mostly suck at solutions: you understand the constraints and difficulties of your product better than they do, so they tend to suggest things that are infeasible, overly specific, or prohibitively difficult to build.

When the public gives (or random bloggers give) give a damn about economics, it's a sign the economy isn't working. Of course they don't have useful solutions - they're not economists - but that feels a little beside the point: you don't have to be a plumber to recognize that your house is full of sewage. And since no one can be an expert in everything, life demands the ability to identify and call attention to problems you cannot personally solve.

An article like this is the equivalent of your roommate going "oh, damn, the living room is full of sewage, we better do something about that!" Of course you'll vigorously agree at first, because you're talking about the problem (which is clear to everyone). But then your roommate suggests fixing it by dropping dynamite down the drain - i.e., talking about the solution - and you're a lot more likely to disagree.

I remember the article, and remember how badly it missed the point... The goal of writing a chess program that could beat a world champion wasn't to beat the world champion... the goal was to gain understanding into how anyone can play chess well. The victory in that match would've been equivalent to eg. drugging Kasparov prior to the match, or putting a gun to his head and telling him to lose: even cheaper and more effective.

I love this optimism, I really do. But to believe that any meta product can be private is to believe that Zuck actually wants that to happen. Zuck, the guy who changes company culture every 4 years or less to suit whoever is on the white house. The reality is that with a closed source product, you can't trust ANYTHING. Just because OpenWhisperSystems worked with Meta doesn't mean anything. Meta will easily silence them legally if they wanted to. And Meta can always remove or disable the implementation as they see fit.

The U.S. hasn't been perfect, but I'll take it over the alternatives.

And, I'd say protecting democracy for "white countries only" is a simplification. If you're talking about Europe, then we have to consider that the U.S. has also pretty famously fought against European nations and that our subsequent "protection" there was to serve as a bulwark to maintain a world order that benefited the U.S. and democracy.

And, you have to consider that we later "protected" the non-white Japan, Korea, and Vietnam at great cost.

In some of the countries wherein the U.S. could be said to have propped up dictators, there tended to be other geopolitical realities. For instance, many of these were in the Middle East and the U.S. elected to align with the most pliable of the available alternatives. And, in spite of this, the U.S. has also promoted democracy in the region.

You have to also consider the sentiment in many of the countries or regions is/was decidedly anti-American and the choice to support regimes less hostile to U.S. interests is a practical one. Many do not want democracy and the alternative for the U.S. is frequently to topple regimes and attempt to stand up completely new governments (i.e. nation-building). This is an extraordinarily costly endeavor with a high failure rate.

And, all of this in the context of adversarial nations doing the same to promote their own interests.

Again, we're not perfect but the world is a messy place.
