My dad used to work as an electrician at the "Wind Research Institute" in Romania, back when the communists were still in power. So of course, I was regaled with all sorts of stories on wind turbine deployments all throughout chil

Yes, it's just the people who's needs are met with it have no means to pay for it themselves. This just won't plug itself with this system of incentives and power.

I mean... you've got to have faith in your theory before testing it out. I am not having any opinion here about this, but the cycle in my mind is theory, belief, test, updated model of reality. I can imagine similar things said before

Oooh, I saw this memory scrambling trying happening on the Open titan chips and I couldn't wrap my head around why they would scramble the memory since on read you descramble it anyway through the circuitry. That makes sense! Thanks fo

Ok, this is interesting. I am skeptic about DC's in space, but I do appreciate people actually doing stuff. What is it computing up there. How did you get it up? How does one usually talk with their satellite. I guess you don't me

How are SMR's "gaslighting themodynamics"? I mean, sure, I can accept that they're not economical with current tech, but it's not a frigging' perpetuum mobile, it's feasible technology.

Well, at least he sold something. Only halfway joking. Because probably worse than knowing you put slop out is putting thing out nobody likes.

I think it's reductionist to say politicians are psychopaths.and it's completely dependent on how you structure your society. And, regardless, social coordination is absolutely necessary and you won't be able to do it without

There is an image crisis. Yes, it's not a badly paid profession. But the perception that it's a dead end will lead to a sharp drop off in the student numbers.

I've had a guy once reply in an email with a bug report generated by ChatGPT telling me that some piece of software I wrote wasn't working. He just plopped right there the discussion he had with the confirmation bias machine confi

Ok, what is going on in the comments here? I get people liking the article but this many comments just to say they liked it is very un-HN to me. Smells like bots to me.

Yes, I agree that is not good. But that is a thing the people need to fight politically for to not be allowed. My main gripe is that OP's post sounded like screw the people who's lives that would improve because I wouldn't ge

You know what? Good. If there is something good in it they can have it. Probably not a whole lot in my case, but still, if this enables people to have better lives, let them go at it!

For some reason, the uncanniness of the feature pictures are deeply unsettling for me. It just stirs intense unease. A bit amusing, to be honest.

Mildly interesting, and highly likely related. A cluster of 5(?) Ukrainian marine drones wound up today outside and around of Constanta off the coast of Romania with one detonating in the port and the rest detonating... somewhere around. Qu

Yes, as always, we like people to be good at their jobs instead of being bad at their jobs. But, I think teaching skills, juuuust like any other skills can be taught and improved. So if we want good teachers and educators we need to build t

You should look up "direct instruction" or mastery based learning. I was in agreement with you, mostly, but self-discovery has limits. I recently think this isn't the "optimal" way to teach, sometimes it's coun

Nifty link, I learned something new today. I know it's much more convenient building pcb's the way we do today, but maybe there are certain advantages we could get by exploring non-conventional layout strategies at the PCB level.

Which of the Moore's laws would that be? It seems people talk about Moore's law without actually specifying what the law says. Transistor per SQ mm? Transistor count in a chip overall? Transistors built in the world at all? Genera

Yes, it's copy pasting but it's tedious and it adds up fast. Even the doFoo to performBar is tedious because you need to catch all instances and your find/replace script strategy might have unintended victims. In this case in
