> PV might go under $20/MWh at the end of the decade for instance. Nobody will be able to compete with that.

Except places where the sun doesn't shine much long periods of time (far north/south).

This is in large part because they are not building a bit over 2 reactors per year anymore.

> - Ground floor: Shops,

Only the street facing side. A lot of the buildings in Paris have an inner yard where the ground floor has apartments.

> with lower pricing and more competition

Every node shrink since 7nm (some say 28nm) has increased the price per transistor.

So if we keep going for smaller and smaller nodes expect prices to keep on rising. Once we reach some physical limit that we can't figure out how to solve is when you can expect prices to stagnate/lower (and progress stops too)

TPM integrated/embedded to the CPU is the most common way of having one and they are not vulnerable to this exploit.

There you also have patient privacy to take into account.

Problem is that you would have to do the logging in a very uneconomic way.

Basically you would want to leave the most profitable trees (big/old ones) and cut down all the small ones. This is because big trees don't really burn down and survive the fires for the most part. After a fire they provide a canopy stopping the forest from growing to be as dense in the future. With the less dense forest the fires after that won't be as intense.

And the game is also available on Game Pass for Xbox/PC so you can play it without buying it on Steam (though due to Microsofts cert process the version is a bit behind)

What does the tax rate and prefilling tax forms have to do with each other? The system would work the same with 1% and 99% tax rates too.

Nothing is stopping QT or Swing from having a bug that only happens on Windows (or any other operating system).

With web apps if you want a more native look/feel/need more native integarations and decide to use something like Electron you can still have platform specific issues/bugs.

> Yeah dude platform-layer stuff would need to be native. But literally all those things are platforms on top of another platform. They're not applications and we're talking about applications.

Wait what? Since when is stuff like Blender, VLC, Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premier, DaVinci Resolve, etc not applications?

Yes I did list browsers too but they are applications too. Someone has to develop them and fix all the platform specific issues.

> This is not my experience with non-proprietary streaming services. The only reason those need access to the native environment is for DRM reasons.

So basically now you added a modifier "if you develop open source software then just use linux desktop".

> This is only due to momentum. I highly doubt this is the future of computing.

Yeah but for the next 10 to 15 years at least we for sure will have Windows around as the dominant native desktop platform. Or are you saying 2024 is finally the "year of Linux desktop"?

Because sometimes you need/want to or someone pays you to?

Think any browser, heavy 3d/rendering stuff (Maya, Blender, etc), games/game engines, etc.

Even basic streaming/video/music players (Spotify, VLC or even ffmpeg has a Windows port/build that could have platform specific bugs).

Also even in the case that the application is mostly just an embedded browser window it can still have platform specific bugs.

I would argue the vast majority of native desktop applications are Windows applications just due to its massive marketshare. So in most cases if you are making a native application for desktop you will have to at the very least debug it on Windows sooner or later.

How exactly would you develop a native Windows application by doing that?

Obviously the main reason to use this is that you need to make a Windows version of some application and don't natively use Windows as your development/testing environment.

And these have existed for at least a decade. I remember using one in the early 2010s to debug weird issues with IE.

It’s their mandatory military service.

Basically a signal intelligence/hacking unit just like any other military outfit in their forces.

It is mostly 18 to 21 year olds. And I would think it looks really good in your CV if you want to work on the sector later.

> plus the border is about to reopen again in 4 days

Except the PM said we need "more actions on the border" which pretty much means continuing keeping it closed.

Same from other leaks in the government according to Iltalehti.

Ground coffee doesn't stay that good for very long so roasting and grinding it close to the end user is preferred.

Beans do stay okish for a year or so if in a sealed package.

Here is the Finnish one

https://www.vr.fi/en/live-train-tracker-map

I couldn’t find any info if it is based gps data or time tables but I have checked and seen my train that was late being stopped where it in reality was (waiting for another train that was late to pass on a 1 track line)

It’s mostly the fact that the more wind you build the less each turbine will make in profit as in general they all spin at the same time pushing the prices down when they produce electricity.

The solution is to increase demand during those moments and thus these new interconnects to Denmark and Norway. Other option is to build storage or new consumption (hydrogen, ammonia, e fuels, etc)

Some parts of the west already did that years ago in electricity production. For example carbon free electricity production shares in France (88%), Sweden (98%), Finland (90%), etc.

Though there is still a lot of work to do to go fully CO2 neutral due to cars, trucks, ships, planes, fertiliser production, etc.

> Nuclear power plants are currently too expensive to not be used at 100% all the time (except when you need to perform maintenance).

France has been load following with their nuclear plants for decades. They have to as they have so much of it. The reactors in Germany also did/do the same.

The reactors in Finland also started to do that too during this summer as we are having more and more wind (and a new 1600MW nuclear reactor) and a huge chunk is sold on the spot market (so if nobody bought your nuclear power you are not allowed to send it to the grid). Basically leaving ramping down your production as the only choice.

> current pv is something like 10× cheaper than nuclear

Maybe in nameplate numbers but not actual production in places like Sweden. Especially during the time the consumption is the highest (winter). The whole country is further north then the northern most point in US (excluding Alaska).

But in the places most of humanity lives (including pretty much all of US) solar works quite well just not once you go far enough north/south.

If you want to go renewables in a place like Sweden you go wind+hydro. Hydro is mostly built out already so that leaves wind.

It is a troll package. Just a successful one.

> Except in, say, China, where none of that applies and education works great.

Yup the school system plagued by epidemic cheating where cheating is even accepted to some level (you are an idiot if you don't cheat).

Yeah while not great it is still a step in the right direction (giving control to the developer).

Before this in the OpenJDK the developer had exactly 0 control. You just wrote code and hoped JDK would slap in vectorization etc.

> The president of the Commission can reject candidates as often as they want (not in theory, but in practice they do), so the member state's power to appoint someone is largely meaningless.

The member states effectively decide who is the president of the commission. A candidate can't go for vote to the parliament without their approval first (72% majority required).

Who is which countries commissionaire and gets what seat is very much part of the whole process of deciding who is going to be the president.

And as the commissioners require the parliaments approval too that is where they usually get shot down instead of being rejected by the president of the commission (can't agree on these beforehand with the parliament)

> it won't even explain if there was a vote on who got to be EU President

EU does not have a president and will not get one without a new treaty to replace the Treaty of Lisbon and is not something the Commission would ever get to decide on (this is the kind of foundational EU treaties that has to be signed by all member states)

> The Council is a joke that won't explain its decisions

Just like any government it mainly explains itself to the people who voted it into power. In this case the governments of the member states / council and to some extent the parliament.

> Not familiar with .NET, but I've done this for Java.

Java only has intrinsics for core jdk APIs and some auto-vectorization (which in my experience are between very hard to impossible to use reliably). A proper Vector API is in the works but that is waiting for Valhalla (value objects).

https://openjdk.org/jeps/460

I really wish JDK had some API for hardware intrinsics.

Hopefully we get something soon as the Vector API is coming (7th incubator version rolling on) https://openjdk.org/jeps/460

Though the Vector API is pending on Valhalla to get far enough (it won't leave incubator until the necessary parts of Valhalla are in preview stage)

Every commissioner is appointed* by the government of the member state they are from.

The president of the commission is chosen by the council (heads of state of the member states) and has to confirmed by the parliament.

So in theory only internal brussels lobbying would be who gets assigned which seat but in practice all of it as the EU citizens don't give a fuck who represents them in the EU so these kind of decisions are never talked about in local elections where they should be.

* (well proposed but if they don't accept they would just get another proposal from the same government)

It goes the other way around.

First you make the tech (and the patents associated with it) and then push it through the standards body to make it part of a standard. That is the point when it becomes a standard essential patent.

AMD was almost bankrupt 10 years ago. Basically AMD had to bet the whole company on their next CPU or GPU and their choice was the CPUs and put all their efforts into that and it payed off (Zen architecture).

It has only been the last 4 or 5 years that AMD has had any real money to put into their GPU/AI accelerator sector and that seems to be developing quite well now (though they seem to be mostly interested in super computer/massive data center deployments for now)
