I said “could”.

Fusion is sought after so much as the theoretical limits of the energy output are quite gargantuan compared to anything that exists now.

How much of that theoretical limit can be practically accessed remains to be seen as always, but the theoretical limits lie orders of magnitude higher than the limits of any other potential energy source.

To say that fusion research is simply pursued to create jobs with no evidence is quite a strange claim when the more obvious reason is that the potential gains from it are enormous and that it's possible, and indeed plausible, that it could solve all energy problems in this world for the foreseeable future, and perhaps even in our lifetime.
Totally agree. Their release seems to make it seem that dual core with multiple hundred K of RAM is unique. The elephant in the room is while it has nice GPIO interfaces for sensors, you want onboard wireless for backhaul. Espressif have had this space for a couple of years now.

That depends what you mean by local files: On the Mac, at least, it will keep local backups. See the Backups menu item. Admittedly, the backups are not in a convenient format, rather being json files containing encrypted blobs. But there is a utility for decrypting all the files. So if you are merely worried about losing access, you're covered. So long as you don't lose your password, that is.

But for sure, other solutions work better if you have less stringent security requirements.

For practical considerations, both DRAM, and CMOS need a lot of steps, and both of them are already dialled closed to thermal limits of materials.

So if you just first make CMOS, and leave empty space nearby protected by something to do DRAM later, it will be very hard to fit into the tiny remaining thermal budget past which CMOS devices will turn into schmoo.

History repeats itself
I believe it is not about the means and the tooling. Systemic problems need to fix the system, not various outcomes of such problems. Assuming we are talking about democracies, I guess it is up to the people. If the people do not care, then fine. "Nothing to see here, move along". If this is the case, I disagree with "the people", but apparently that is just me... Or few of us.

I really like the simplicity of the UI. So many competitors look awful due to their design and monetization choices.

Have you thought about checking for the most popular TLDs?
Yeah but my point still stands: the more you redistribute, the less incentive people have to work, and the less money you will have overall.

If you redistribute too much, you will lower your overall productivity and not have enough money and your average will go down. If you redistribute too little, you will have a revolution.

What I'm trying to say, is that everyone wants to have a system where you can simply raise the mean without any increase in inequality, but such a system doesn't exist, so there's always a trade off to be made, and when people ask for less inequality, that will also mean less money overall, and also less for you if you are in the middle.
https://www.theadvocates.org/2014/01/the-trickle-down-econom... suggests the opposite.

> “Years ago, this column challenged anybody to quote any economist outside of an insane asylum who had ever advocated this ‘trickle-down’ theory. Some readers said that somebody said that somebody else had advocated a ‘trickle-down’ policy. But they could never name that somebody else and quote them.”

> Further, Sowell notes: “The ‘trickle-down’ theory cannot be found in even the most voluminous scholarly studies of economic theories — including J.A. Schumpeter’s monumental History of Economic Analysis, more than a thousand pages long and printed in very small type.”

No judgement implied on the economic matters at hand. Just on the matter that 'trickle down economics' is not a position actually held by anyone as far as I can tell.
I'm building something to help makers find product-market fit
Ironically it hasn't found PMF itself yet because I'm still building it.

For anyone that's built a SaaS with existing customers and struggling to find more, the best method I could find for prioritising what features to build was from a blog from Superhuman.

Basically every time a customer gives you feedback or a feature suggestion you ask them how they'd feel if they could no longer use your product - not disappointed, somewhat disappointed or very disappointed.

What you really want is focus on the latter two.

- Very disappointed: Your customers that already love you. These are your biggest advocates who want to shout your name from the rooftops. You will want to keep serving their needs so they remain loyal customers.

- Somewhat disappointed: These are the customers that have a need for you right now but could drop you when a better alternative comes along. If you serve them well then you can turn them into advocates too and drive more referrals.

This is basically the gist of prioritising the right things but obviously harder when you have less customers.

Here's my landing page for the thing I haven't finished building yet https://usertake.com/. If it's something that might be useful it's free for anyone that can give me valuable feedback along the way.

Here's the Superhuman blog for reference: https://www.therevisionist.org/website-authority/social-media/hacker-news/
Interesting read.

It sort of states the obvious, but one of the hallmarks of today's world, is that everyone "just knows" stuff, without actually ever "coming out and saying it."

As far as rejection goes, I'm very fortunate, as I can take my toys and go home, if no one wants to play with me.

I worked for many years, for a corporation that had a culture of excellence. It could be grating, near-abusive, and frustrating, at times, but it did teach me to set and maintain a very high personal bar. I got rejected a lot, and it taught me to be fairly self-sufficient, irt self-evaluation.

I won't do it to other people, though. I won't establish any relationships that I don't intend to maintain, and, when I change the status of a relationship, I make it a point to communicate it to the other person. That's not always easy. I also try to make it a point not to project personal values onto others (also not easy).

Also, not every relationship needs to be a lover. I have perfectly good relationships with people that horrify me. I don't need to do anything more than chat with them, once a month or so, and we don't need to talk about anything that causes friction, so I just keep it superficial.

Of course, humans being what we are, the favor is seldom returned, and one of the things that I've learned to do, through many painful years of hard work, is have enough personal self-regard, that the opinions and maltreatment from others doesn't have damaging effects.

TL;DR: I make sure that I have a good relationship with myself, I establish a minimum bar of Honor and Integrity for myself, and my relationships with others have flourished, as a result.

I've learned that people don't respect people that don't respect themselves, so respecting myself is job one.

An interesting thing, for me, was looking for work, after leaving my job of 27 years.

I encountered ageism, which was quite a shock. I've never had to deal with rejection; simply based on my physical appearance (I've always actually been rather sought-after, because of my skills, and, I hate to admit, probably because I'm a white male). It helped me to understand what a lot of folks go through. When we "hear" about something, it doesn't have the same weight as when it actually happens to us.

Funny thing about ageism, is that we will all get older (the alternative isn't fun). We'll each get a turn at this oar.

I think the author falls into the narrative fallacy here.

He's the same guy leading two companies. The success of Twitch is one survivor among a sea of startups who failed, but it does not mean that Twitch or it's founder are particularly clever or unique, but that among the hundreds of possible leaders in streaming, Twitch won by random chance.

By virtue of his success being luck rather than talent, Justin's next company failed, again by random chance, but rather than accept that he just got lucky he'd rather narrate after-the-fact why it is that his second company failed because a suitable narrative allows him to cling onto the idea that Twitch's success was a result of his own talent which leaves open the possibility that he can tap into that talent to be successful again (at whatever he attempts next) despite his recent failure.

Instead he should consider himself lucky to be on the winning side of survivorship bias and acknowledge the hundreds of thousands of start-up founders just as smart as himself who did not get so lucky.

His conclusion that he wants to focus on doing what he enjoys (i.e. not being a CEO) is wise, but it does not abandon his narrative which is still false.

So I have one also. It took me a good 7-10 days for it to feel comfortable enough to easily fall asleep with.

Anectode. A few years ago, the "neutral pack" was introduced in France, and for some reason, it was decided that the pack would be so neutral as to not even mention the exact composition of the cigarettes themselve.

(You can get a CSV with the ingredients from some offical website. Whatever.)

One day, I was waiting in line to buy newspapers (the same stores typicall sell tabacco and press here. (And newspapers are that thing... well, too long to explain.))

A supposedly very nice lady was outraged that she could not get the exact composition of her cigarettes any more.

20 years of improv comedy, and I could not come up with "what, you're afraid they might put something bad in it ?"

That lady is probably on Facebook at this exact moment, wondering about the pandemic. And she might have relevant questions, and insane answers.

Seems to me you are not very acquainted with rejection, which is the topic of the article.

It talks about how, in our modern age, we face rejection all the time: at work, dating, in friendships... and how the internet has made the number of rejections you might face in your day-to-day explode... and how we're not psychologically prepared to face that.

An article, IMO, doesn't need to have a call for change, or a very deep insight or idea.... this one just calls to our attention what's happening and how that might be causing consequences we're not paying much attention to (like the appearance of incels culture and other "avoid rejection at all costs" movements), which is something I do agree with.
The idea of cummulative rejection is interesting! I never thought about it that explicitly in that way. I think it's an idea that transcends social rejection and might apply to all rejection.

In my case, I have this with job interviews. Unfortunately, every 10 additional rejections is affecting my mental health. This is about after a threshold of 50 initial rejections, including being rejected in the resume round.

I wouldn't be surprised if many people experience this with job interviews. I think it's because, in a sense, everything that one has experienced in life suddenly may come together (in terms of values, beliefs, behaviors and so on).

If that what comes together is not a system that can work in any way shape or form, then people crash and can crash hard. Especially when one decides to "act out" their cummulative rejection. I've noticed that I sometimes happen to do that now as I'm noticing my patience is wearing thin on all facets of life and it sucks for everyone involved unfortunately.

It might be weird to say, but because of this I sometimes wonder, maybe I should become a bus driver or something "simple" [1] like that (pre-corona at least).

[1] I'm fairly sure that if I don't give a job like that my full attention, it isn't simple at all. I guess that some people see it as simple since there's less "IQ-ish reasoning" involved.

There is nothing wrong with copy pasting code from stack overflow.

I do see two kind of people doing that. One group learns from the code in order to become better, and can use it over and over to be more efficient. The other group doesn't care how it works and just wants to have a snippet that works.

The second group usually misses a curiosity, of which the effects show up in many more places than just copy pasting from stack overflow. They also tend to have a flatter learning curve. I don't want to generalize, but in this group you will encounter people who don't care about the difference between a list and a set, or think that code works when it compiles. In both cases the juniors know very little, but one grows and the other one doesn't (or less)

There is space for both in the world, but I prefer the first group in my team.

No. The alternative is using a desktop application, which offers a superior UX in every way.

> it makes us beholden to an employer

Oh phooey. I've been an employer and employee many times. At no time was I "beholden" to my employer, and at no time were my employees "beholden" to me. It was a simple transaction - trading labor for money. Either party could (and sometimes did) walk away at any time for any reason they pleased.

I've even been fired more than once. Didn't matter, I just got another job. No employee ever genuflected to me, either.
Not at the neighbourhood level?

Sure, democracy that works by majority (or majority party) or whatever makes sense for actual government. But my street is not a government, and devolving the sort of power to change rules and impose fines, liens or whatever on my house to the rest of the folks in the street, without even requiring unanimous agreement on the rules by all the property owners, is just nuts.

I would never put myself at the mercy of whoever I happen to live on a street with like that. I'm glad these things are rare to non-existent in the UK.
I wouldn't really worry about it. I have an overclocked 3970x and a Noctua air cooler keeps it much cooler than the Intel 6950X I had before (also aircooled, with an even larger Noctua cooler). Air cooling is more of a limit to how high an overclock you can get; normal operation will be no problem for any cooling system designed for Threadripper.

There's never a good time to buy a new computer. It's always going to be obsolete before you open the box. Though in this case, one might wait for the Zen 3 Threadrippers.
There wasn't much info on the GitHub repo about how it actually works. Here's the paper from the authors: https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.14049

From what I gather from the paper, they frame the problem of test generation as a search problem. An evolutionary algorithm randomly mutates a randomly generated test suite. The evolutionary algorithm optimizes for greater branch coverage.

Excerpt from the abstract:

"Our experiments confirm that evolutionary algorithms can outperform random test generation also in the context of Python, and can even alleviate the problem of absent type information to some degree. However, our results demonstrate that dynamic typing nevertheless poses a fundamental issue for test generation, suggesting future work on integrating type inference"
The sentiment in your comment is frequently expressed on HN - censorship isn't good, we need to decentralise to escape censorship.

Ironic that this sentiment is expressed on HN, a centrally controlled site with strict rules around what can and cannot be said. "But all those rules (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) are good". Well, I agree. These rules are good. They are enforced well. It does foster a decent community with interesting discussion. But let's not mistake a well run, controlled system for a laissez-faire one. HN without moderation would not be the same site, and I'd bet most of us wouldn't want to be a part of it.

This particular comment is strange though - you rail against Instagram's no nudity policy, something that almost all people agree that the site is better off without. And yet, have you tried posting nudity on HN? Let us know if it stays up. HN's control over topics that can be discussed is so firm that even potentially interesting threads like the first one around the European Super League (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26854970) were shut down.

From the diagram this looks similar.

The client-server is to fetch the certs and revocations, and handle the signing infrastructure.
