ichi

Today You Learn that the same Shun'ichi Amari who founded information geometry also made early advances to autodifferentiation.

If they had lost active cooling, things probably would have been just as tenuous as they were at Dai-ichi.

The Dai-ni reactors were a very slight spec bump up from the Dai-ichi reactors due to being started later.

TIL that the same Shun'ichi Amari who founded information geometry also made early advances to gradient descent.

For perspective, the tsunami that topped the seawall at Fukushima Dai-ichi had a peak height of ~14m.

Slamming code down ichi-geki style is linear for problems that don't have a potential for overlap and geometric for ones that do.

There was a dude at the 2016(?) Internet Yami Ichi Tokyo selling IPV6 numbered rocks but sadly cant find the link anymore.

> I'm struggling to understand how a word can mean two numbers Ichi is the word for 1.

As far as Fukushima, there were actually two different sites, Dai-ichi and Dai-ni.

Both sites suffered the same earthquake & tsunami; all of the operational Dai-ichi reactors melted down, none of the operational Dai-ni reactors suffered damage.

On the other hand, I'm quite sure that the British release of Ichi the Killer has scenes edited from it, ie.

From Ken-ichi Ueda's remarks in the OP, after graduating from Berkeley he moved into a role that resembled the loosely-structured organizational patterns of an undergraduate team collaborating on a term project.

I always found it fascinating that a lot of people start laughing when watching the horror in a movie like "Ichi the Killer".

Our name "Ichi" (Japanese for "city", and "one") reflects our mission to improve the physical spaces around us through never-before-possible technology and bridging a fundamental information asymmetry.

And let's not forget: "Energy has its own particular urgency following the nuclear accident in March 2011 at Fukushima Dai-ichi plant, leading to the closure, if only for now, of nearly all Japan’s nuclear power stations.

The one major exception is Fukushima Dai-Ichi (which used one of the oldest BWR designs), and even Fukushima Dai-Ichi has not killed anyone from radiation directly.

So far a TMI/Fukushima Dai Ichi/Chalk River is about the worst that has been observed in a reactor with a containment vessel.

Japan hasn't tried anything since Fukushmia Dai Ichi, but I expect that they will have the exact same problem.
