The key point I want to emphasize is that the specifics of reactor design become secondary given the multitude of other risks involved. Consider the example of Fukushima, which, despite having a modern and robust reactor design, still succu

Fukushima only happened due ... Fukushima was not as bad as perceived ... Lets continue nuclear energy, just look at france. Don't get me wrong. I'm not intending to troll. I'm honestly interested in new arguments, not the sa

Well, I don't think the reactor design mattered all that much to the many liquidator that died from cancer, but as you pointed out this is very not relevant to any discussion of modern nuclear power. For this reason I will leave it as

Ouch, you've just triggered the die-hard nuclear energy fans on HN. I've seen countless debates on this topic. The first thing that will be mentioned is that Chernobyl is an absolut outlier, an event that can never ever happen aga

Russia already has the advantage of more manpower. And theres nothing Ukraine could do about it, it is just the significantly smaller country, both in terms of population and size. I think robots could provide a balance. For robots you need

Why not simply use GPS spoofing for your phone? There's even a whole subreddit on that subject /r/PokemonGoSpoofing with all the necessary guides.

I guess we can simply ask in the official forum whether chatgpt.com is a legit domain owned by OpenAI to settle the question.

If I remember correctly, JBOD means that if a drive fails the data on the drive is lost. If you have so many disks then you have an expected fail rate of roughly 1.7% per year (according to the popular drive statistics from back blaze). Isn

On hot summer days (without air conditioning) I sometimes have to shower twice a day, once in the morning before work and once in the evening e.g. before meeting friends.

The cost of 10k per year is very likely to drop over time, especially if there's a huge roll out for millions of people. I think statistics calculations will show a net positive effect in terms of long term health care savings, unless

The title is pure click bait, the title suggest that type safety doesn't matter, but then the author explains why it does matter e.g. catching errors at compile time instead of run time. A better title would be "My take on type sa

The ingredients to make the most basic form of life are well known. It will of course be a huge discovery if we can detect life on another object other than earth, maybe the biggest discovery in lifetime, but I think it will be a one time n

The use-case of 19 PiB of logging data feels very constructed to me. I worked for smaller and bigger companies and never faced logging into the petabyte range. I'm not saying it's not a thing, FAANG level companies certainly have

Problem is Software. You can put out a XYZ trillion monster chip that beats anything hardware wise, but it is going nowhere if you don't have the tooling and massive community (like Nvidia has) to actually do some real A.I. stuff.

I don't know if we are on the right track if we have to ship "super optimized assembly" for HTML and CSS. I think we should be able to write the most simple and straightforward HTML and CSS and the Browser on all devices shou

Meta could build their own cloud offering. But it would take years to match the current existing offerings of AWS, Azure and GCP in terms of scale and wide range of cloud solutions.

Well, we have (virtual) particles that can travel backwards in time, without breaking causality. There's no proof that Tachyons exist, they are purely hypothetical, but they are not outright nonsense.

I do think that there is a certain amount of gpt bot activity present on HN. But I don't think it makes sense to call people out and saying they are a gpt just based on one comment.

I'm definitely guilty of this. Especially for non native speaker who might more easily lend towards adapting phrases from others (including gpts), because they are not sure how to phrase it correctly.

antinf congratulations I think you have proven, beyond any doubt, that I'm a gpt. (This is a semantically empty tautological generic statement.)

I'm not a gpt. But now you could say that this is exactly how a gpt would answer and we get stuck in a loop and there's no obvious way to prove that I'm not a gpt.
