Fortunately the nuclear reactor can be operated for >50 years :)

Seems like hollywood. Dangling career opportunities as a reward for constenting to unwanted advances etc.

That's a job for the parents though isn't it? And for early teenagers people seem to forget what positive influence the internet could have on their lives. Eg. many IT workers started fiddling around with stuff when they were quite young.

They are technically correct in that it's the developers fault that they tied themselves to a proprietary game engine.

In the other hand Godot was nowhere near mature when the slay the spire devs most likely started development. They would be dumb if they used unity for their next game 🤷

Good question, that one can only speculate on. IMO it's a two part question.

First is that newly built nuclear plants are expensive. So the question depends on if we bite the bullet (build the reactor) today or in 2070. One built today will produce cheap power in 50 years.

For example in Finland we have reactors from 1980, that make up the backbone of stable energy production in our country. Those are going to be kept online till the 2050s. I'd argue at that point the cost per kwh will be mostly dependent on maintenance and fuel, so relatively small.

Wind and solar cannot reap the same benefits if you have to replace the plant every 20 years.

Storage is a completely separate question that is not taken into account when new wind farms and such are being built. If one was to account for storage today, the cost of renewables would be much closer to that of other means of production.

Also in the future, if storage costs keep falling due to billions of R&D money, similar effects could be achieved in nuclear via serial production and scale.

EDIT: Just read you have studied this stuff for real. Then ignore most of what I said, as you might know better :D

Is this really a year old post? It was a good read regardless.

To comment on the topic, this is going to happen more and more, especially as proprietary stuff becomes more and more complex. With implants it's obviously more serious, but this also applies to anything from cars to game consoles.

I'm no stranger to scrounging junkyards for car parts or ebay to replace components from an old console. However that cannot go on forever, as parts get more rare. This is somewhat remedied with eg. nintendo consoles, where some reproduction parts are available (cartridges, screens etc.). With more niche and increasingly complex products this option is often not available.

There goes another "red line" without any meaningful response from russia.

Yes. OSRS reviews on steam are still listed as very positive.

I found steamdb.info. According to them Godot seems to be growing steadily.

In this case does packaging mean packaging the silicon die to a processor or soc that can then be used? Or does it mean the assembly of the end product, such as a phone or laptop?

In either case it seems like a moot point to complain that this is a major issue for the long term. Shouldn't assembly lines for said stuff should be much easier to build in comparison to a chip fab?

Also the fact that the Arizona fab only produces a small fraction of TSMC's total output is kind of obvious. There are a lot of chip fabs, so US encouragement for domestic production has to be an ongoing effort.

Last time I edited my posts they were reverted back a week later. I've now deleted them all by hand and that seems to be holding. Still keeping an eye on it though.

At first glance this seems like a relic of an old system. Much like the clear split between officers and regular troops in the soviet/russian system. A system that is heavily controlled by few might seem like a safe option in comparison to the alternative, where where responsibility has to be distributed among many possible "points of failure".

Some of it I can understand. The government of Ukraine seems very much afraid of loosing the mental image that western help is highly effective and more should be provided. Hiding tactical failures and other decisions that could be interpreted as incompetence, could be seen as an attempt to preserve that image.

This is an imperfect analogy, but think of updating between Windows 10 and 11 versus installing updates on windows 10 or win 11.

I have no experience with Fedora, but AFAIK at least in Ubuntu/Debian land, updates are installed from OS version specific package repositories. When the version of the OS is no longer supported, those repositories might not receive updates anymore.

EDIT: this is the main reason I have a rolling release distro on most of my personal machines. The package repos have the newest packages without having to update my OS major version every now and then.

The decade of work is starting to show for real. Many other tech companies have tried to break into new market "segments", but often pull the plug after the product isn't an instant hit. Valve had similar stumbles at first, but took what worked and tried to make that useful for as many people as possible.

Complete opposite of stadia, etc. which didn't really amount to anything after the initial failure.

In finland we have this big hole that goes half a kilometer into stable bedrock. The storage solution is engineered to withstand the next ice age.

One could just mass edit all their comments to contain some garbage with power delete suite. Of course they would have to hurry, as that relies on the reddit api for making the edits.

There is also some type of weird bug where, if you leave a post open for an hour, the content might get replaced by another post. Refreshing the page reverts it back to normal.

It didn’t. It’s more alive than ever.

The web as a whole is more alive than ever, but many of those old school places aren't. They still exist, but most of the userbase doesn't.

I have some hobbies, which used to have a thriving online communities on forums and blogs. For the average internet user, that wanted to read up about such hobbies, they would gravitate towards those forums or blogs. This has fundamentally changed with the popularity of sites such as reddit, facebook, youtube & discord. The conversations that were had on the forums moved to the above platforms and as such a lot of the deeper nuances of conversation were lost.

A specific hobby of mine had a dozen active forums to read. Now all but one are mostly dead. The only one in my native language is also gone. My country's native communities moved to facebook, which is now only used for announcements and some simple questions being asked again and again.

There has been a complete reversal of internet discourse on many topics. Instead it's (again) back to having discussions with your friend group and building up connections locally.

I mean if the goal was to discourage union membership, then I can understand why they did that. Obviously that backfired...

To OP: this is a much clearer & better explanation for what I was trying to say.

He seems to have a relatively anti government stance in various areas, eg. surveillance and the centrally driven monetary system. Those leaning right often have similar stances, so that might be why he is being put into the same mental box as them?

I agree that it's a bit shallow to split people on the left/right axis merely based on a few ideas of how very specific aspects of the society are being run.

I sure hope none of those cracks were licensed in a way that would cause trouble for unauthorized commercial use 🤷

Might not qualify as a social network, but university hosted IRC servers were a thing once.

Most likely you won't even notice some of the changes. Reasonably believable cars can already be added to films in post, so no reason why humans couldn't be. This might not be driven only by AI, but instead on more general tech developments in vfx and such.

At least in my country (Finland), most news sites have completely dismissed this incremental aspect of the counteroffensive. They have focused mainly on theorizing a few possible scenarios of how the offensive will go (breakthrough or not?), and each small event has been assessed in excruciating detail. Everyone has been focused on a single tank column blowing up etc.

Personally this was the first time I came across an explanation for why a more massive attack hasn't yet been initiated. Perhaps I follow the wrong news sites?

Killing millions and being dysfunctional are in a different realm of terrible. I'm sorry, but how did you come to the conclusion that they are even comparable?

Since 2014, Crimea has been problematic to Russia for various reasons, in particular due to needing an outside source of fresh water

The only issue that during the escalation Russia has blown up the dam that provides said drinking water to crimea. I think you already kinda implied this already in your comment.

I'd guess that companies that failed to turn profit when money was cheap are most likely doomed. However not all of the hype companies are like that. Some could be barely profitable, but shareholder pressure might push them to heavier monetization practices.

It's not a democracy... straight to jail!

It wouldn't be an issue for me, if more nuanced alternatives were as easily available. Tabloid journalism has existed for a long time, but nowdays it seems that it's the only form of mainstream news available. Though I'm not old enough to comment on if things were better eg. 25 years ago.

The current fast paced news environment wouldn't really be an issue, if more complex topics were available in easily digestable form. Currently one has to subscribe to dozens of different places to get reliable information on a broad range of topics.

Irc + mumble used to be my goto 15 years ago. It would still work, but understandably a bit less refined

This goes kinda well with actual stated goals of some republican representatives, who want to loosen up child labor laws.

Alternative to using a forked version is to use inbuilt browser dev tools to throttle the connection within a tab. In firefox eg: ctrl+shift+c -> network->throttling. That way it can't flood the server with requests.

BTW: where did you find the fork?

When I did play foss games, I played battle for wesnoth, teeworlds, minetest, super tux csrt and openarena. Lsst one might be dead due to being a mainly multiplayer game.

Very happy to see that such a strong migration is actually happening.

I guess they can either detect mass edited/deleted comments or that they checked comments for edits/deletes after the api access change.

Does GOP actually have any goals that could be deemed objectively good?

AFAIK communities are only federated automatically, if someone form your instance is subscribed to the community. Maybe nobody has yet to subscribe to the latter form your instance?

If someone knows better, please enlighten me!

It's notable that a major part of the drop happened before chatgpt was even released. Lots of good explanations here already for why that might be.

My personal anecdote is that it's almost useless in relation to modern react (ts&functional). New questions aren't being answered and old ones were answered with react& js or even jquery.

Shouldn’t a different algorithm that adds a some sort of separate logic check be able to help tremendously?

Maybe, but it might not be that simple. The issue is that one would have to design that logic in a manner that can be verified by a human. At that point the logic would be quite specific to a single task and not generally useful at all. At that point the benefit of the AI is almost nil.
